Chapter 1705 Cut Off All Means of Retreat
Jepherson's car arrived at the hotel. He got down from the car and went upstairs to take a bath. He
then changed into another set of clothes. Soon after, someone had already rushed upstairs to trim his
hair and nails.
After he had cleaned himself up, Jepherson wore a grey outfit and went downstairs. He pulled open the
car door and entered with a bent of his waist.
Once inside, he ordered Stuart, "Inform Jared, get ready to intercept Raeleigh."
"To protect, or to follow?"
"To protect at a close proximity, not even a single step away from her."
Jepherson gazed outside the window. He leaned against the side of the car interior with an
expressionless look on his face.
When the car passed the roundabout, Jepherson asked, "Have you already made an appointment with
the people from the Green House?"
"I didn't manage to get it. Do we need to contact Lenold? He might have a way."
"No need."
The car quickly arrived at the Green House prison area. Jepherson got out of the car. Stuart
immediately went and opened the trunk. He took out two boxes and handed them over to the people
who had come up to them.
Jepherson swiftly made his way to the lower level prison area and had Stuart knock on the door.
Not long after, someone from inside inquired the reason for their presence from a small sliding panel.
Stuart greeted them first, then told them that they're there to see the warden and to please notify him.
The person inside flicked a glance at the people gathered outside, but did not answer and closed the
small panel. There was no movement for a long time.
The sky gradually grew dark. Stuart asked Jepherson, "Are we really going to wait here forever?"
"There isn't a dog who has never gotten dirty once in their lifetime."
Jepherson didn't move an inch as he stood outside.
Being that it was the late autumn season, the weather was very chilly. Not only that, it was the Capital
City's first snowfall. While Jepherson spoke, snow had floated gently down from the sky.
Jepherson raised his head and looked at the snowflakes as they danced in the air. The corner of his
mouth twitched. "Raeleigh should have arrived by now, right?"
Stuart was momentarily stupefied before he said tentatively, "Not yet?"
Jepherson slid a look his way. "Let's wait."
Stuart made a sound of agreement and beseeched, "Mr. Harvey, please go inside. I'll wait here."
"No, let me see how long do they need to open this door."
Jepherson lifted his head up against the snow and stayed stock still.
Around two o'clock at night, as Stuart swept the snow away from Jepherson's body, the door to the
prison opened.
A handsome young man in his thirties walked out of the door.
He saw Jepherson who had leaned sideways against the wall and invited him in.
Jepherson threw a glance Stuart's way, who then proceeded to personally carry the two boxes inside
as he followed Jepherson.
The metal door closed behind them. With the guidance of the people who had welcomed them in the
dark of the night, they were led inside another door and into the prison's reception room.
A figure was already inside. The moment Jepherson came into view, he began to size him up. "Mr.
Harvey."
Jepherson strode over to the other side and stopped. Another glance and Stuart put the two boxes on
the table and opened them.
Although the light was dim, there were clearly two boxes filled with money.
The other individual in the room glanced at it and remained silent.
After being tested twice by Jepherson, Stuart took out his knife and cut the inner linings of the box. The
diamonds inside shone even brighter under the dim lighting.
The warden, who sat across from them, reached out and took one. He looked at it carefully, then put
down the diamond and simply said, "Go ahead."
"Mr. Harvey wants to meet Flynt Cole to confirm if it's actually him." Stuart disclosed.
The warden agreed to the request. "Come with me."
The warden got up and headed towards the door as the rest followed behind him. They trekked along a
long pathway. The snow kept falling, but it didn't hinder Jepherson's search for Flynt.
When they arrived at the prisoner's lounge area, the warden ordered someone to bring Flynt out.
Jepherson stood in a corner where he knew would be his blind spot and observed until he had
confirmed that the person that was brought out was truly Flynt.
"Let him go."
Jepherson's voice was very placid, which even surprised Stuart.
However, the warden did not ask for his reason. He just heeded his order and let the person.
Once Flynt had left, Jepherson then said, "There's a prisoner called Flynt who escaped from prison. He
resisted arrest during the scuffle and was killed on the spot."
The warden paused slightly. "You didn't say anything about this earlier."
Jepherson turned to stare at the warden. "You didn't ask."
...
In the end, the warden finally agreed to Jepherson's request.
Jepherson walked to the prison's observation tower and stopped at the top. He looked down at Flynt
who had just left.
Flynt walked out of the door and looked back. Although he knew there was something odd about this NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
whole thing, he didn't want to stay in prison either. He could neither eat well or dress warmly inside.
Flynt immediately trudged forward through the wind and the snow. He didn't realise that people had
come out of the shadows in the surrounding area.
Suddenly, the prison alarm blared loudly through the night.
Flynt picked up the pace when he heard the alarm, but after a few steps he noticed that something
wasn't right. He turned around and lifted one of his hands immediately. He knew that surrender was his
best choice.
Only in this way could he survive.
However, Flynt didn't expect that when he turned around, all the guns were aimed at him. Before he
could react, his body had been shot full of holes like a hornets nest.
Jepherson's gaze was placid throughout whereas Stuart raised his hand to wipe his eyes. "Mr. Harvey,
let's go."
Jepherson cast a glance at him, "Let's go."
After they left the prison, Jepherson was headed in the direction of his car when the warden called out,
"Jepherson."
Jepherson stopped, but did not turn around.
"I hope we never see each other again," the warden intoned solemnly.
Jepherson didn't say a word and continued to stride forward. Stuart looked back at the warden before
he walked off towards the car. He then opened the door and let Jepherson in.
After Jepherson had left, the warden immediately ordered some people to clean up the scene and
proceeded to seek out one other person.
Austin stood on the watchtower dressed in a prisoner's uniform. When the warden arrived, Austin
twisted his body around to look at him with his hands clasped behind his back.
The warden's posture changed and he now walked like a soldier. He stood at full attention and stated,
"I don't understand."
"Go ahead."
Austin's voice still held its usual calm and indifferent tone.
"Why accept such a thing?"
"In order to avoid some troubles, do you think that Jepherson is an easy person to contend with?"
Austin asked his subordinate.
"He's still just a wealthy businessman in the end. He doesn't have any connections and only has
money to his name."
"Since he could make such a request, he came with nothing to fear. He knows too much about the
Green House. If we don't cooperate, he will cut off all means of retreat."
"Flynt is from the Cole family, isn't he worried?"
"What's there to worry about? If the trees fall, the monkeys will fall too. If the walls fall, everyone will
push against them. It's the best time for him to do so, what's more he even forced us to follow
according to his wishes."
"Then should we go in for a penny, in for a pound and deal with Jepherson?"
"Killing him won't solve any of my problems. He came here this time to test the waters as well as
negotiate. If we don't agree, he has a way to make us agree and Green House cannot be exposed.
Our agreement is exactly what he wants. If we don't cooperate in the future, he will come and threaten
us."
"Then why agree at all?"
"Didn't I just say that before? He knows too many things. If we don't cooperate with him, he will reveal
everything about the Green House."
"We can..."
"Since he dared to come here, he wasn't worried about not being able to go back. In other words, he
already came fully prepared."
