The Bodyguard System

Two days later, Scarlet finally decided to go back to school. During the past 2 days, just like the day that Jaden had talked to Clifford, the three of them continued training. Well, it could be said that Jaden was the one that was training the other two.

It seemed that Scarlet was quite determined, in such a way that she was practicing way harder than before. So, despite the improvement being minimal due to her training for only 2 days, still, she was improving at a faster speed than before.

Not wanting to be left behind, rather, not wanting to be beaten up by Scarlet, Sylvia also trained harder. She was intending to make sure that the gap between the two of them widened, and at worst, it would maintain.

Jaden did not care that much about the competition between the two ladies. Instead, he simply focused on training them.

It was already on a Friday, and there was going to be a morning lecture. It was a good thing that it seemed that Scarlet did not have the intention of attending the lecture, considering that after she got to the campus, she went off to the gym.

Despite being happy that he did not have to attend the lecture, as it was so boring to him, he who did not understand anything, he still felt that it was a waste of the day. If possible, it would have been better if he would have been allowed to go back.

Other than just dealing with the old man, whom Jaden wanted to relocate from the old apartment, Jaden also had to go to the bank. But until today, he had not gotten a chance of talking to Clifford or Lynette. Even Steven could not be found around, despite him being the butler of the family.

It seemed that the family was quite busy recently, as even Anthony had not come back home for quite a while now. As for the matter relating to the battle between the two families, Jaden did not pay that much attention to them, still, through the rumors that he heard by passing, it seemed that the battle between the two families had almost come to an end.

For the rest of the day, there was nothing productive that had happened during the time that they were in school. Jaden somehow met up with Mason, and the guy kept on making assumptions about the relationship between Jaden and Scarlet.

Of course, the rumors had not yet died down, considering that Jaden and Scarlet continued garnering more attention towards themselves the moment that they appeared in school. It was a good thing that the both of them were quite good at ignoring the nonsense that was being spoken by the crowd.

Nonetheless, Jaden had decided that he would have to get a car of his own. It was just that it was going to be a little inconvenient for him to become a bodyguard if he drove his own car. But it did not hurt if he drove a car while going back home, instead of using a taxi.

At the end of the day, Jaden and Scarlet had met up with Lucas, whose expression was extremely terrible, together with Vincent and the rest of the gang that was involved in the gangster hunt.

It seemed that Vincent was not convinced by the defeat that he experienced the previous time, and was planning to organize for another gangster hunt. It seemed that he had not learnt from the previous time that he had been beaten up, and was wrapped up like a mummy with bandages all over his body.

Scarlet on the other hand was not that much interested in carrying out another gangster hunt. Even though she found that this matter was quite thrilling, that did not imply that she wanted to get involved in this matter again, as currently, she was paying much attention to improving her combat skills.

Even though Scarlet was not willing to get involved in this matter for the time being, she was still convinced by Lucas. This guy possessed quite a sweet tongue, and was able to easily convince Scarlet to join.

It could be said that Lucas understood Scarlet quite well. And for that reason, he was able to easily pinpoint the thing that Scarlet yearned for the most, and that was to practice her current skill level.

"Additionally, we will not be targeting the gangsters that possesses weapons. Instead, we will just target those small gangsters, and we will see how you can handle a group fight alone." Lucas added.

When Scarlet thought of that, she immediately agreed. There was no harm in practicing as much as possible. Since she had already gotten used to fighting 1 vs 1, that did not imply that she would always fight like that.

Instead, there might come some points in time where he would be attacked by a group of people at the same time. So, it was better to improve the way that she fought in such a situation.

Other than wanting to improve, she also believed that with Jaden's presence, there would be nothing that would go wrong. After that incidence, the confidence that she possessed in Jaden had improved by quite a considerable margin.

In the end, she agreed. They would be going to hunt for the gangsters the following day. Of course, this is something that Jaden did not like, considering that ever since he began his duty as a bodyguard, he had always been given the weekends off.

Nonetheless, he did not say anything about it. In any case, in case Clifford asked him to accompany Scarlet in her adventure, he would have no choice but to do so.

But the disadvantages did not come without their advantages. In case the system gave him the same mission like the previous one, where he was supposed to help Scarlet win the competition, then, it would definitely be even better. At least, he would be compensated for working on a weekend.

Well, most of the bodyguards worked everyday. They might be given one or two days off in a month, but still, they are usually required to be available on a daily basis. In fact, others are always available for 24 hours a day.

He was quite lucky to be given two days off every week. Additionally, it was the weekend, where he could spend the most of his time enjoying himself, though, he had been quite unlucky that his weekends were always completely occupied with something.

….

The following day, Jaden and Scarlet went out. Jaden was not worried more about the reason why he had not been given the day off, still, he went ahead with the plan that Scarlet was having.

The two of them drove towards the eastern part of the city. They did not go back to the area where Jaden had ended up killing a person, who had been taken care of by Steven, the Johnsons family's butler.

Of course, it was impossible to hide the fact that somebody had been murdered in that place. It was just that the issue was swept under the carpet, and nobody investigated it, saving Jaden a lot of trouble.

Well, in case there was somebody that came asking for that person who had been killed, then, this issue would have been complicated. But for some reason, nobody came asking about the death of that person. It was as if his presence was completely ignored, or nobody knew about his existence at all, before his death.

This time, they had already agreed on the group of gangsters that would be dealt with. It was Vincent who had done the homework this time, as he was the one who had initiated the competition.

He thought that by doing the investigation personally, Scarlet and her group would not take advantage of him. For the previous hunt, he thought that Scarlet had gotten a group of gangsters that was extremely weak, or a base that did not have gangsters.

So this time, he was the one who allocated the gangster groups to be dealt with. They did not go overboard with the groups that they targeted, understanding the capabilities that they possessed.

And for that reason, they simply targeted small groups that possessed gangsters about 40 in number. That was what they believed that they could handle.

Having already come to an agreement, they did not have to meet up again. Instead, they had agreed on the destination that they were going to meet, close to the area where they were supposed to take care of the group of gangsters.

The two groups of gangsters were located in different parts, about 2 km away from each other. So, Scarlet and her group would take one side, and Vincent and his group would take the other.

Scarlet drove the Ferrari f8 spider towards the destination. After they arrived, they found that Lucas and his group had already arrived. So, after setting aside the vehicles, they immediately headed towards the direction of the group of gangsters that they were supposed to deal with.

Completely unlike the previous time, the same, each and every one of them was armed, other than Jaden. They were either caring metal baseball bats, hockey sticks, even golf sticks were brought over as weapons.

This was something that left Jaden speechless, especially the weapon that Scarlet was carrying. Scarlet was carrying a very big metal rod. For a moment there, Jaden could not help but wonder if Scarlet would not kill a person when using such a weapon.

A little while after Scarlet and her group had left the area where They had parked their cars, another car suddenly arrived. Then, a lady who was unconscious was carried by two men, before they followed the same route that Jaden and his group had taken.
