The next morning.
Jack took a day off and didn’t go to the office.
He used to move as an excuse.
But he actually wanted to accompany Amber.
By being there with her when she was pregnant, the chance of her getting depressed decreases.
Although he didn’t know if that was true, it didn’t affect him wanting to spend more time with her.
Amber’s tummy was getting bigger every day. He could feel his tiny human growing in her and he was elated about it.
In the morning.
Mr. Ward and Brent got the car ready. They were heading to the TM Villa District.
They were in a good mood as they weren’t back for a while now.
They felt like they were returning home.
Even though they were living comfortably at the Four Impressions Club and Minister Mable was meticulous and thoughtful about everything.
They didn’t feel at home.
One could only understand how precious a “home” was after they lived in one.
The cars drove in a row towards the TM Villa District.
“Brett, do you remember the other night?”
Brent nodded, “If it wasn’t for young master, we were all long dead.”
All dead wasn’t an exaggerated expression.
It was a clear fact because Brent was an experienced mercenary after numerous battles.
At that time, the security guard force didn’t stand a chance against the deadpool Mercenary’s heavy weapons.
If it wasn’t for Jack, everybody would’ve just died there! Jack managed to drive into the deadpool Mercenary and broke their formation.
“Don’t praise me like that, I just wanted to save you guys,” said Jack self-depreciatingly, “I’m not all that great.”
“But young master, you really did rescue everyone in the security team,” said Brent as he smiled.
Jack rubbed his nose and switched the topic, “Aiden sure is good at his job. Everything that was destroyed was restored to its original look. You don’t even notice that something has happened here.”
They continued talking.
Rows of cars stopped at the main entrance of the villa district. They were halted by the security guards at work.
Two security guards went up and inquired about them. They were polite and working earnestly.
It was a sight to behold. That many luxury cars in a row.
“This is Master Jack Hughes, he is the property owner of the TM Villa District.”
Mr. Ward said calmly.
After the mercenary incident last time, the security around the area was no doubt heightened.
The new security guards would be absolutely baffled at what Mr. Ward was saying.
But these two were the ones from yesterday.
They heard the name “Hughes”.
Their expression changed and they were shocked.
They then glanced at Jack who was in the back seat.
“Yes?”
Mr. Ward was unhappy, he scoffed, “That is our young master, stop peeking.”
The guards jumped and quickly looked away.
They stopped with the procedures and let the cars in.
They knew that this man had to be powerful, seeing that even his name was taboo in the area and was being kept hidden.
They were just powerless employees, and they didn’t have the right to make him go through those troublesome procedures.
The cars drove in one after another.
Jack rubbed his nose and said, “Mr. Ward, they are just doing their job. Don’t scare them like that. I don’t recognize them, they might be new here.”
