Chapter 21
Whether it was luck or a coincidence, neither of them turned in his direction, so Jefferson remained where he was, occasionally checking at those walking apart.
Only six of them and Jefferson left, and they had fifty minutes left. Jefferson bit his lip, his face crumpled, realizing there wasn't much time left.
They split up into small groups of two people, and two groups walked towards the main hall; maybe they wanted to search the other side of the market. They seemed sure that Jefferson had run away because they sent more people there. And after reaching the main hall, they would probably split up, one group going to the right side and one to the left side.
While the other two were searching this area, they started walking opposite Jefferson's position, heading towards the main exit and the guard on the stairs.

The first thing Jefferson saw as soon as he lifted his head was Hugo's smile, which reminded Jefferson of a bright lamp in his living room. He didn't even need to add another one; that lamp alone was enough to brighten every inch of the room. His smile was slightly different from his lamp. Instead, it brightened the surrounding, and his smile darkened it because it was more likely a scary smile, not a friendly and nice one. Seeing that smile made his heart skip a beat; he gasped and staggered, luckily the two bodyguards holding his body, so Jefferson didn't fall backward. Hugo laughed; confused by Jefferson's overreaction, he shook his head. Not knowing that it make Jefferson even more shocked and surprised. Plus, he was still confused, unable to process what was happening around him. "I can't wait to see the results. Are you the last man standing? Or there's someone left, and we should disqualify you? But I hope we're not gonna do that. I saw you on CCTV and was impressed. I can'

Jefferson awoke with his eyes widened and gasping for breath, like when he gasped as soon as he popped out from the water. The next second, he felt his throat dry, and it felt like it was trying to strangle Jefferson, he coughed, and that woke someone up. He was sleeping beside Jefferson, unsure how long he's been there. Even though Jefferson felt weak and his head hurt, he tried to get up because he felt uncomfortable with everything, but the person who had just woken up held him back. He gripped Jefferson's shoulder with his strength, and Jefferson was too weak to resist him; he was forcing Jefferson to lie back down. "Wait a minute, I'll call a doctor," he said and took a phone next to them. Jefferson stared at the man intently, he was sure he had never known him before this, and he was absolutely sure that he had not lost his memory. He could still remember his whole life and all the things that happened that night, even all the things Andrew did and the revenge he would take

Max nodded, still looking excited, while Jefferson froze."Actually, Mr. Homer and Mr. Hugo wanted to let him go. We even sent someone to warn him, hoping he wouldn't come again, but he still annoys us by visiting some of our casinos and dealers, so Mr. Homer and Mr. Hugo had no choice but to finish him off.""He visiting our dealer? Which dealer has he visited?""Yeah, it's right. I was assigned to arrest him. We followed him. At first, he was at our casino on X street, then went to several dealers until he went to one of our casinos, and I caught him there.""Those dealers, do you mean the ones in the market?"Max fell silent, his face twitching, his funny smile fading into a strange smile that Jefferson had never seen before.Before finally, he lowered his head and groaned. Jefferson was shocked, he thought something had happened to him, but Max shouted instead."Which market? Oh, God? What kind of bodyguard am I! How can I forget about it? I feel ashamed, Jeremy. What should I do?

Jefferson was so annoyed about the doctor and Max that he forgot to ask how long he had been unconscious. He asked about it after they left the room and walked into the long alley. He had been out for three days; he woke up on Tuesday, and today was Wednesday.Willie might have panicked; he must have assumed that something terrible had happened to Jefferson because he had never disappeared like this. Jefferson had to apologize if he ever saw him again; even though he had just gotten married, he had already caused trouble for Wilie. Once they reached the end of the alley, Jefferson saw a large open space with a fountain in the middle and a tiny garden in the middle of this mansion. Jefferson looked at the fountain; he was amazed. The water sparkled under the morning sun.Before finally, they went back into the hallway and walked through the rooms whose doors were closed until they finally stopped in a large room, a lot of bodyguards were relaxing, watching tv, playing cards, talking,

Jefferson and Max meet up with Owen at the dining table. A few other bodyguards too, had an early lunch like Max.The three of them were busy talking. Apparently, Owen was not as old-fashioned as Jefferson had imagined. Owen left with Homer after lunch and returned to their room only with Max. While Hayden goes to one of the casinos because Hommer assigned him to do that, Max asks one of his bodyguards, and he tells them that Hayden goes by himself. Meanwhile, Max was specially assigned to look after Jefferson while his men took care of his work, so he was lazing with Jefferson, watching tv in their room. And when it was time, around five in the afternoon. Jefferson went to Dylan's room with Max; he asked for a list of bodyguards under his command; each bodyguard has his own subordinates.Maybe Homer and Hugo needed these colorful bodyguards because they had about a hundred bodyguards, each command of about twenty-five bodyguards.Jefferson was ready in the lobby, glanced outside, a

The conversation was quicker than Jefferson expected. They even joked about anything else more than discussing the new mall. Besides, it seems that Hugo doesn't care about the construction progress that the old man talking about; he maybe will care only when that old man says that the mall is ready, and perhaps he will also tell Homer to prepare. He hadn't even finished all the french fries, but the old man stubbed out his cigarette and stood up. Jefferson was surprised and wiped his hands on his jeans while Hugo shook the old man's hand, giving a goodbye, hoping he didn't see what Jefferson was doing. And after shaking Jefferson's hand, the man left the private room, leaving only Jefferson and the perverted prince. He was annoyed, and without even looking, he could already imagine that pervert's expression; well, all perverts are the same. Jefferson knew it by heart; not only that, he had had enough of them. Jefferson sighed and turned around; without looking directly at Hugo's

Jefferson walked into his room and slammed the door. "That perverted! I'm gonna kill him." This is one of his bad habits when he is annoyed. But how can he not be? Just imagine Hugo just came out of the bar ten minutes before eleven o'clock, with two baristas carrying him out because he was too drunk to walk by himself. Luckily they checked on him in his private room because they thought it strange that he hadn't ordered anything since 30 minutes ago; they found him lying on the ground. Jefferson helped him get into the car, and he was forced to accompany him in the back seat, afraid he might bump into something. And also, Homer was already calling them; he was angry, so the driver had to speed up so they could arrive home as fast as possible. And it was then, for approximately fifteen minutes, Hugo continued to flirt with him even more than he had in the private room. Starting from hugging him while mumbling, kissing his cheek, stroking his hair, and almost kissing him on the l

And the next question is, why is that pervert coming out of his room just to talk to Owen? Couldn't he get someone to tell Owen to meet him in his room?"Ah, Hugo, Good morning. Is there anything wrong?" asked Owen while glancing at Jefferson, who was still frozen.His reason was none other than to ruin Jefferson's morning.Jefferson stood up while all the bodyguards now stared at them to greet Hugo, but moments later, they returned to talking about that rumor when Jefferson bowed to greet them too. "Good morning, Hugo," Jefferson greeted, then moved, so half of his body was covered by Owen's body."Good morning, Jeremy. How is your condition?""I'm fine.""Was I tiring you yesterday? You better see a doctor. I'm afraid that last night's thing has badly affected your body.""Thank you for your concern, Hugo, but I'm fine."Jefferson glanced out of the corner of his eye; whispers came from all directions. While Owen was looking at him with a mischievous look.While Hugo was grinning w
