After Benedict hung up on the call, he immediately turned back and found a better place to hide himself.
Sure enough, after a while, Jonathan walked out with a box in his hand.
He heard Carol reminding Jonathan, âYou should take good care of yourself when youâre out alone. If you face any difficulties, come back!â
âGot it!â Jonathanâs face was filled with impatience.
Then, he waved his hand and left quickly. His footsteps were light and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Benedict quietly followed behind Jonathan until he walked to the side of the road.
When Carol and the rest were out of sight, Jonathan took out his phone and dialed a number.
âHas my ticket to Vegaland been prepared? Iâm going to the airport right now! Last time, I didnât have any money, but this time itâs different! Iâm going to play a good round with you all and earn back all the money I lost before!â
Benedictâs lips curled up slightly. His suspicion that Jonathan had ulterior motives were true.
No words were needed to explain how a person like him could make a fortune so suddenly!
Benedict was about to go out and grab him, but he was held down by a pair of hands behind him.
âHold on.â
It was Harley.
Although Benedictâs suspicions were seemingly true, since he said that he would start a fight, as his father, Harley could not just sit by and do nothing!
Furthermore, Benedict was in poor health. If something bad happened to him, he would definitely have regrets!
âDad!â Benedict was puzzled. So, he asked, âYou donât believe me, do you?â
âYouâre my son, so of course I believe you!â Harley laughed. âStop talking, heâs leaving!â
âThen, what should we do next?â Benedict asked.
âLetâs follow him to the airport to see what kind of person he is in contact with. This way, we can find other clues!â
Benedict could not help but admire Harley. The older, the wiser!
Just as he was thinking, a car arrived. Jonathan got into the car, and Benedict also got into Harleyâs car in a hurry.
The car drove directly to the airport.
After that, Jonathan waited for a while in the lobby. When Harley returned from his round outside, he saw that Benedict was still nervous. He could not help but pat him on the shoulder.
âRelax, Iâve just looked at the flight information. The next flight to Vegaland isnât for another hour!â
Upon hearing that, Benedict finally let out a sigh of relief.
âAre you hungry?â Harley handed a cup of coffee and some donuts to Benedict. âEat a bit to fill your stomach.â
Benedict did not eat the donut and only took a sip of the coffee.
âItâs too sweet!â
Harley raised his eyebrows and said, âDonât you like sweet drinks?â
Benedict pressed his lips together but stayed quiet.
Harley sighed, âDo you think I donât know that youâve never liked sweet things? Itâs only because Naomi likes it so you like it too.â
âItâs the same as your body not being suitable for practicing self-defense, but you still wanted to practice with Naomi. Benedict, itâs not that Iâm not confident in your abilities, but sometimes men donât have to be so persistent. Giving up on someone properly isnât only for othersâ good, but for your own as well!â
Benedict was not convinced as he replied, âDad, Iâm only 20 years old. How can you be so certain about my entire life?â
Harley said helplessly, âWhatâs so good about Naomi?â
âThen, whatâs so good about Mom?â
Harley choked and shut his mouth.
âForget it, I canât fight you! Itâs up to you!â
Benedict was also a little angry as he said, âInitially, I didnât want to tell you this but you were the one who tried to talk me out of liking Naomi!â
After that, he stood up and was ready to change his seat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he bumped into someone.
âIâm sorry!â Harley rushed forward to support Benedict.
The man looked at Harley before he turned and left.
When the man had gone far away, the bearded man, who had been bumped into, looked a little puzzled as he muttered, âThat man just now looked a little familiar.â
The other two men beside him sneered, âSo what if he does? The three of us agreed that we should work together in Vegaland this time and win all of Jonathanâs money. I think he made a fortune this time! Weâll live a good life in the future!â
âThatâs for sure! Jonathan is really a fool!â
Then, the three of them laughed out loud.
Soon, the three of them met with Jonathan. Then, they walked towards the security checkpoint together.
Benedict looked at Harley nervously and said, âDad, itâd be too late to catch him if we donât take action now!â
Harley frowned as he replied, âThese three people look a bit familiar!â After a slight pause, he suddenly had a realization.
âNow that I think about it, those three are habitual offenders! They are on the run because of drugs! Benedict, theyâre dangerous people!â
He grabbed Benedict.
At the same time, one of the three men suddenly realized, âDamn, itâs that police officer!â
âWhat?â
âHave you forgotten? The person we bumped into just now is a police officer! Maybe he has come here to arrest us! Letâs go!â
After that, the four of them ran to the security checkpoint.
Jonathan was in the bunch as well. He thought that Harley was about to arrest him too! He ran the fastest among the lot.
Benedict pushed Harley away and said, âTheyâve found out who we are! We wonât have a chance if we donât catch them now.â
After that, he ran towards the four men.
At that time, they arrived at the security checkpoint. Moreover, it was time for them to board the flight!
Harley and Benedict knew that if they managed to board the flight, they would definitely destroy the evidence!
âStop them!â Benedict ran toward them. He shouted, âTheyâre suspects!â
The security personnel froze and subconsciously pressed the alarm.
The four men who were about to leave were held back immediately.
They were so angry that they cursed, âF*ck! You ruined my plan! Where did this kid come from?!â
Benedict had already blocked them from behind, âYou know very well what youâve done.â
âOh no! The airportâs security guards are coming!â
One of them shouted!
The leader of the group glared at Benedict while saying, âSh*tty brat, get out of my way.â
âNo!â Benedict gritted his teeth, especially at Jonathan. Now that he had seen Benedict, he was even more sure that Benedict had come to arrest him!
He had so much money in his hand, but he hadnât had the time to enjoy it yet. Would his enjoyment end just like this?
No! No way in hell!
Jonathan thought about that, stepped forward and pushed Benedict away while yelling, âGet out of the way!â
âNo!â Benedict was incredibly determined.
At the same time, Harley had finished his phone call and was ready to run towards Benedict. On the other side, the footsteps of the security guards at the airport were gradually approaching!
It would really be too late for Jonathan to escape!
âYou forced me to do this! Itâs your fault for being nosy!â
His eyes turned cold and he took out a knife out of nowhere.
Harley shouted desperately, âBenedict, move aside!â
The next second, before Benedict could react, the knife pierced his chest!
After that, Jonathan kicked Benedict away and ran to the other side.
However, he did not expect to be held back by Benedict again after he had taken two steps forward.
âNo! Naomi is still in custody. You canât leave!â
