The Hero

Chapter 157 You Don't Understand

Rumours and open slander finally broke the good-natured back of Edelgard.

He has disappeared.

No one knows where he might be. Even Luca, who follows him around with a sticky puppy nature, fails to track him down. That's why he ended up calling Javier for help. Javier is basically a city baron and has a much wider network of connections than his own.

After hearing about the difficulties, Javier promised to help and called Sam.“ immediately Mobilize your subordinates and find Edelgard Weiss immediately. You can find your own photos online.” He ordered it out loud, dispelling even the simplest of politeness. “I don't care what tactics you use. I want him found before midnight. Also, don't scare her once your man finds her. Contact me immediately.”

Sam did not dare to waste any more time. As soon as the call ended, he started sending out orders to his subordinates and joined the quest himself.

The more manpower they had for this quest, the sooner this hunt for women would end. The last thing he wanted was to fail to find the woman before twelve and face the wrath of his boss…

Seconds pass. The search began at the earliest since six p.m., and lasted until 11 p.m. At almost 12am, Sam's name appeared on Javier's phone screen. “Find the woman, boss. He was spotted at We'll Mead Again Bar. I have eyes following him. Here, I'm sending you the location of the bar now. ”

One should always enlist the help of local street thugs for missing persons cases. These thugs roam the streets so often that no corner is too hidden for them to notice.

Javier gets into his car and follows the instructions Sam sends him.

We'll Mead Again turns out to be a strange little bar. It was owned by a college student, which made one wonder if the owner opened the bar out of a desire or need to mark the bucket list rather than an actual profit. Had Javier not asked Sam and his men for help, this corner of town would have been a challenge to take advantage of.

It didn't take long for Javier to notice Edelgard aloof in one of the darkest corners of the entire building. Now, his desk is filled with seven or eight empty 500ml bottles of beer.

Javier approached her, took a full bottle before touching her lips, and finished it off.

The young woman focused her groggy eyes and did not focus on Javier as hard as she could for five boring minutes. "Oh that's you!" he's not clear. “And here I think ... I wonder .. who took my beer. I was like ... Why would anyone focus on my beer and pick it up ... instead of focusing on a hot drunk woman ... and take her away?

Javier knew based on his question alone that Edelgard was basically drunk with his wits. Even her beautiful cheeks had turned crimson due to the lack of obstructions.

“Stop, Edelgard. Let's return. I'm gonna handle this, okay? ” says Javier.

Javier got up and stepped closer to Edelgard, his hands ready to help him stand. “I understand, Edel. And I've found a way to fix it.”

Edelgard continued to wave and throw hands. “No, you don't! You don't understand, you don't understand at all.. You don't understand... damn.”.

He kept muttering "you don't understand" over and over again like a broken tape. Javier realizes he won't win a debate with a drunk. "Good!" He gave up, nodded. “I don't understand. You did, though, right? You get the most, so let's just go. Let's go back."

"returned? Back to where?” Edelgard buried his head in Javier's body, his invisible eyes locked in a drunken state. “That shabby hut... in Xerxes Village? Where do we relate ****? Ooh, amazing.I love that place.I love that time. I will definitely..sleep soundly after that.”.

Javier speechless. Edelgard actually drowned his brain in liquor.

Then, as soon as he helped her get into her car, Edelgard proved that she was not drunk with his actions. From the comfortable passenger seat, he unbuttoned all the buttons on his blouse, complaining, "Here it's so hot!"

He started grabbing behind his back, his fingers groggyly feeling his bra strap.

Javier alarm sounds. If he undressed his birthday in his car, how could he drive? There's no way he can drive with just one hand on the wheel, or his entire body from the driver's seat, for that matter.

The only consolation she had was that Edelgard was so embarrassed that she could not even break away from her seatbelt, let alone remove her bra. He struggled for a bit more before finally falling asleep in his chair while he said something incomprehensible.

Javier doesn't know exactly what he's muttering, so he ignores it altogether and heads home. Only when the car stopped at the gate of his residence did a new thought form in his mind.

Who would be suspected of having unbuttoned his shirt if Javier brought it to his home in his current state?

Jade might say she's okay with him sleeping around, but taking her home in a messy, open state? Javier knows that any explanation he can give will be hard to sell!

At that thought, Javier drove the car and changed the destination. This time, he went to a hotel. It was the perfect place for Edelgard given its current predicament.

He opened the door of their room and carefully helped her in, making sure that her face and face were hidden. The last thing she wants is a new scandal about her taking a man with her to a hotel. In addition to the damage to Edelgard, any exposure to Javier would have cost him dearly.
