Mr. John

"How much more would you like to drink?" asked Billi, annoyed.

Alex smirked. He stood up from his spot and grabbed his friend's collar. He lifted it slightly and continued to stare at her with a soft look in his eyes.

"But yesterday I almost won," said Alex.

"You can't be like this, idiot!" Jerome gave Alex a slap. "You can still try to live a better life, don't be like this!"

Alex gently held his right cheek. His vision began to blur. Looks like he's been too late in alcoholic drinks.

Seeing this Billi immediately took a glass of water. "Drink!"

However, instead of drinking, Alex threw the glass of water on the floor. Jerome again gave him a slap.

"I understand you're drunk, but please respect the people around you," said Jerome.

It didn't stop there, then Alex turned to hug Jerome's body. She sobbed. Jerome who felt uncomfortable couldn't do much but try to calm him down.

"Okay, maybe it's time for me to appear in public," said Jerome in a fairly heavy tone, then continued, "Remember my previous idea?"

Alex let go of his arm. He and Billi furrowed their brows, asking simultaneously, "Which one?"

Annoyed, Jerome re-explained everything. From that explanation, Alex and Billi started to remember it again.

"Understand?" Jerome asked.

Alex and Billi nodded simultaneously. They were both very drunk, Jerome just didn't care whether his idea was acceptable or not.

"Don't be stupid! You guys are drunk, it's impossible to understand," said Jerome curtly.

"We only drink water and act like we're drinking, not really drinking!" Alex chuckled.

Jerome chuckled as he looked at the glass bottle that said 'real fresh water from the mountains'. Because even though they only drank plain water, the two friends looked like people who were really drunk.

"So where are we going?" asked Billy.

Alex tapped Billi's shoulder lightly. "Us? Yes, me and Jerome. Without you, Billi."

Hearing those words, Bill's expression suddenly changed. Jerome who saw it couldn't help but chuckle.

Billi asked again, "How long?"

"Surely it is unpredictable," Jerome replied curtly.

"Oh, so I can't say for sure how long I'll be the second Master Alex either."

"Today Mr. Alex is on a business trip to China, I will be his temporary replacement," Billi explained through the office microphone.

Everyone nodded in understanding. Then Billi continued, "With Mr. Alex, you use the rules from Mr. Alex. With me, you all still have to use Mr. Alex's rules plus my rules. Thank you for your attention."

Billi seems pretty good at handling corporate affairs. This is evidenced by its success in collaborating with the second largest company in the world.

"Your identity." Jerome handed Alex an ID.

After a deliberately changed haircut and style of dress, Jerome also changed the entire identity that he would share with Alex. Starting from passports to identification cards.

John A. is the new name that will be used by Alex for some time to come. They are currently planning a departure for China. Not to forget that before they left, they had sent Ferry, Reja and Willi to return to their home country.

"Are you ready to live without a black card?" Jerome asked.

Alex firmly nodded, then walked into the plane. Jerome shook his head slowly.

"I've arrived, China!" Alex shouted.

The man looked up at the sky as if he opened his arms wide. He spun around enjoying the gust of wind that blew.

"Come on, Lex, don't embarrass yourself!" Jerome looked around. "Look! Many are watching you."

Alex smiled widely, then drew closer to Jerome. "When else can I go to China?"

Surprised by his friend's behavior, Jerome patted his own forehead lightly. If you need to be reminded, that Alex is the owner of the number one largest company in the world. With his money he can go on vacation wherever he wants. He had money, houses everywhere, he even had a private plane.

"Now where are we going?" asked Alex.

"Boxing ring," said Jerome curtly, he walked away leaving Alex.

Alex followed him. He didn't stop praising every place he passed.

I don't know how far they have traveled from the airport to a place in the corner of the city. A place that can be said to be quite quiet and rarely passed by the general public. It was very late when they got there, and even then they were greeted by several tall and burly people. One of them did not have a single hair.

"New guy, huh?" asked the bald man. "Share the money, please!"

When the bald man asked for money, Alex suddenly scratched his scalp which didn't itch. He was amused when he was the one asking for money for nothing, not knowing each other either.

Alex said, "We're not your dad! Want some money? Just ask your dad."

"Don't mess with me. Give me the money and you can go!"

"Tsk! Even I won't let you hold my money even for one second."

Furious, the bald man immediately attacked Alex. Jerome who wasn't used to non-violence could only try to apologize and would give money. No, the bald man was already emotional.

Simultaneously the bald man along with his colleagues attacked Alex. Not staying silent, Alex also gave resistance. As a result of this, there was an extraordinary fight.

Around five burly people were fighting Alex alone. Even the man didn't want to ask Jerome for help, he asked Jerome to pull over.

One by one the attacks were successfully neutralized. Every now and then Alex's body was held up by a bald male partner, but he was able to quickly release it with ease.

He turned around, climbing onto the shoulder of the person holding him. He elbowed the man's head hard.

One by one the opponents began to fall, now only Alex was left with the bald man. Alex just stood still with a blank stare, while his opponent was running to attack. He shouted at Alex. However, one more step towards where Alex was standing, the person had already fallen. He lay limp under Alex's feet.
