The Bodyguard System

"I would like to see how you deal with me." Scarlet responded. Then in the next moment, she took a step forward, and immediately approached the group of three in front of her.

The gangster was not expecting that Scarlet was actually going to take action. But when he saw the determined expression on her face, and her decisive actions, he immediately understood that she had confidence in her ability.

The only problem was that she was facing him. So, she was bound to suffer a loss this time. So, when Scarlet was approaching, he immediately prepared himself to attack.

The moment that Scarlet took a step board, she immediately launched a kick towards the gangster with a vest. She did not hold back that much, considering that she did not have the intention of having this guy get up after he was beaten to the ground.

Initially, the gangster had thought that it was going to be an easy thing for him to handle. But when he faced the real attack, he immediately realized that he had underestimated the opponent.

He reacted as fast as he could, but his reaction speed was not as fast as the attack. So in the next moment, the kick that was launched by a Scarlet landed directly on his left shoulder.

Bam! Thud!

The kick was extremely heavy, and the moment that it landed, the gangster fell onto the ground. At the same time, he held his left shoulder while looking at Scarlet with fear in his eyes. He had never expected that this woman was this fierce.

For a moment there, he did not know how to react. Instead, he simply maintained looking at Scarlet. And the moment that he met with her gaze, it was then that he suddenly got back to his senses.

"What are you idiots waiting for?! Take care of this lady immediately! Don't you see that she is here to cause trouble?" The gangster wearing a vest shouted as she pointed at Scarlet.

The pain that he was currently undergoing was immense. At the same time, he could feel that it was impossible for him to be able to use his left arm, and he was not sure how long that was going to be. Just from the pain, and the lack of strength in that arm, he could immediately tell that it was definitely dislocated.

Upon hearing his shout, the two people that were next to him immediately launched an attack at Scarlet. They did not care if she was a lady or not. Instead, at this moment, all that they cared about was to eliminate Scarlet.

Causing trouble here was a mission that had been given to their gang. So, they definitely could not fail in making sure that this business did not get any customer.

In the face of the attack from the two, Scarlet was able to face them without any panic on her face. Instead, she was able to easily dispatch the two of them, with a simple dodge and with two swift attacks.

The two of them collapsed onto the ground, wailing in pain, while holding the parts of their bodies that had been attacked. It could be said that this group of gangsters was not professionally trained. They simply fought crudely without any skills.

So, for a person like Scarlet who had trained for quite a while, it was quite easy for her to be able to take care of them. It was due to that reason that Jaden did not take any action, and instead, followed behind her as they continued approaching the building.

On the other hand, the other gangsters in the area were immediately alerted by the screams of their companions. Immediately, they rushed over. Those that were close by and had seen everything that had happened were already ahead, rushing towards Scarlet with the intention of dealing with her.

Clearly, the leader of the group was the one that was wearing a vest. Still, this guy did not attack, instead, after managing to get back on his feet with a lot of struggle, he began moving backwards, ensuring that there was a good distance between him and Scarlet.

When Jaden observed that, he could tell that this guy was definitely quite an intelligent person. He had already realized that they were not capable of dealing with Scarlet, and so, he was already retreating.

Still, from the fact that he was still around, it was clear that he still held some hope that perhaps the crowd tactic would help. If this group of gangsters really dealt with Scarlet and that young man, then things would have been solved.

But if even that large group failed to deal with them, then he was quite a distance away. That would make it easy for him to make an escape from this area.

Scarlet on the other hand looked at the group of gangsters that were rushing to her. She was not afraid of them, the only thing that she was worried about was her friend.

During the time that she was at home, not allowed to leave, this friend of hers had already informed her that things had gotten a little complicated. It was just that Scarlet had not expected that it was going to be this complicated.

Additionally, the previous day, the two of them had not communicated with each other. Scarlet had of course tried contacting the other party, but no matter how many times she tried, she never made any contact with her. Her phone was switched off.

She had already promised that she would come over, but today, it was already on a Saturday. Previously, she had expected that she was going to be able to handle this issue by Friday. But she did not expect that there was going to be a delay in such a way that Clifford came back late.

Not only was she not given the freedom that she was promised, but instead, she was even prevented from leaving the residence. In the end, there was nothing that she could do, other than remain there, while hoping that nothing would happen to her friend.

Quite anxious to know about the situation that her friend was currently in, she looked at Jaden who was completely calm in this situation. "Can you help me take care of this group? I want to check on someone inside the building."

Jaden was just about to respond when suddenly, a prompt appeared.

[Optional mission generated. Help the client in dealing with the group of gangsters. Mission reward: A villa in a high end community.]

'Well…' Jaden did not know what to say. He had not expected that a mission was going to be generated like that. Could it be that the mission would be generated in case Scarlet asked him to do something?

Additionally, looking at the reward, he could not help but feel that it was quite extravagant. After all, a villa in a high-end community was definitely not cheap.

Then, remembering that he wanted to transfer the old man from the area that he was living, and take him to another place, it seemed that the system was quite timely this time. He was not sure on where he was going to relocate the old man to. But now, with the system giving him a villa, then the destination was already decided.

Scarlet could not help but frown after seeing that Jaden did not respond for quite a while. In fact, he looked completely absent minded. It was as if he was thinking of something the moment that she asked for his assistance.

Of course, she believed that Jaden was just pretending. After all, why would he suddenly begin thinking of something just after she had asked for his assistance?

During the past few days, she had already come to know how Jaden operated. He was completely different from any other bodyguard that had been assigned to her.

While the others always followed the command that they were given, Jaden always followed a single rule. That was to ensure her safety. As long as she was not in danger, Jaden would not listen to anything that she said.

This kind of attitude was definitely not something that a person who was working as a bodyguard was supposed to have. But thinking about the capabilities that Jaden possessed, it was definitely not impossible for him to have an attitude of his own.

At the end of the day, it was not impossible for him to be able to get a good paying job with his skills. So, even if the Johnsons decided to sack him, he would be able to get another job anyway.

"Just help me this time. In return, I will give you $10,000. What do you think?" Scarlet asked with a bleeding heart. $10,000, that was not a small sum of money. In fact, it was quite a huge chunk of money that she was going to use from the one that she was saving.

She was planning to start something and so, she had been trying hard to save as much money as possible. But now, it seemed that she would have to reduce it for a while, in order to be able to convince Jaden.

Jaden on the other hand was slightly dumbfounded. He had not expected that Scarlet was going to misunderstand him just like that. But still, it seemed that this misunderstanding was going to benefit him.

He looked at Scarlet who was already engaged with the group of gangsters that had already arrived. Then without hesitation, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips, he immediately launched forward, striking one of the gangsters that was just arriving in front of him with a punch in the chest.
