The Bodyguard System

Jaden did not say anything, instead, he grabbed Scarlet's hand, and pulled her. He intended to leave immediately. They could not continue risking anything here.

BANG!

Just after Jaden had taken a few steps together with Scarlet, while trying to retreat, they suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot. Their movements immediately froze, as they were afraid that they would be shot at.

The rest of the group was also startled. None of them had expected that there was going to be a person that was having a gun within this group that they had targeted this time. Could it be that they were the ones that were going to be in bad luck this time?

Several of them had already began shaking, while trying to hold back from wetting their clothes. Even though they possessed confidence in the fighting capability that they possessed, in front of a gun, they understood that the fists were definitely nothing.

Jaden turned to look at the source of the gunshot, and realized that the man who was sitting on a couch opposite them had already stood up. He was holding a gun, a pistol, pointing it towards them.

"Where are you going to? Do you think that you can just come and leave as you please? Since you decided to come here and deal with my group, why don't you deal with me?" The man said with a smile, as he played with the gun in his hand.

Even though the gun was not being pointed at him anymore, Jaden did not dare to make any move. He did not doubt that the moment that he tried rushing away, this man would shoot.

Previously, he had seen how this guy had shot the branch manager of Vyon bank without any hesitation. And one had to know that the branch manager possessed quite some reputation, and had quite a background too.

Completely different from him, he did not have any background that could be said to be formidable enough to be able to scare this person. It was either that, or this person never cared about the backgrounds anyway.

Of course, Jaden did not doubt that he possessed the capability of getting away. After all, completely different from the previous time, his body had already been improved by the physique enhancing pill.

So, his movements were extremely fast. By the time that this guy would be able to point a gun towards him, he would have already managed to get away. But, he could not leave, even if he possessed the capability of doing that.

There was Scarlet. If he tried taking her with him, she would definitely delay him. So, it would be impossible for him to be able to get away before the gun was pointed towards him, and the trigger was pulled.

As for leaving without Scarlet, Jaden did not even think about it. In any case, he was supposed to guard her, and he was going to do that.

"Okay, you can stop thinking too much. Come in, I have a lot of things that I have to talk to you about." The man stated. This time, he was looking straight towards Jaden.

Relating to the fact that previously, one of the gangsters down there had spoke to him, instead of Scarlet, it was finally clear to him that he was being targeted. As for how this man had come to know about him coming over today, Jaden had a guess in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.

The entire group was forced to enter into the room. After all, anybody that tried to resist would be shot. Even though nobody had been shot at directly previously, still, nobody tried, to see if this person was serious about shooting or not.

"Do you know about our background? In case you do anything to us, you will definitely pay for it." One of them took a step forward and spoke with a shaky voice.

"Do you think I don't know about your background? Of course I already know about it. But let me tell you something, your background doesn't matter to me. I can do anything that I want to you, but there is nothing that your family can do to me. Do you get that? So, you better behave, and don't talk nonsense, unless I ask you to speak." The man responded arrogantly.

The rest of the group that wanted to use the same trick, to threaten the man who was holding a gun immediately shut up. None of them was intending to test the limits of the person in front of them.

They were from big backgrounds, and they understood much about the underworld as compared to ordinary people. They understood that there were some group of people that never cared about the background of people.

If you got in their way, they would definitely deal with you immediately. As for the consequences that would come later on, they would deal with them only when the consequences arrived.

"All of you can take a seat. I want to have a chat with you guys for quite a while. I hope you don't mind me taking your time." The man said as he pointed towards the other couches that were present within the room.

The entire room was like a hall, but it did not possess anything else other than couches. And when Jaden observed the room clearly, he found out that it seemed that the things that were inside this room had been removed only recently, and the couches had only been placed here recently.

If this was part of the plan, which included waiting for them, or, it was just part of the renovation, Jaden did not know. Nonetheless, he was extremely cautious, making sure to be next to Scarlet at every moment.

After everybody had sat down, the man approached the couch that Scarlet, Jaden and Lucas were seated on. It was a three-seater couch.

Still having a gun in his hand, playing with it by throwing it from one hand to the other, a small smile formed at the corners of the man's lips.

"Well, well, well. We meet again. I do believe that you already recognize me, right? Truthfully speaking, I never expected that we were going to meet again so soon.

But the circumstance that we have met in this time is completely different from the previous one. Well, it can be said to be completely opposite of the previous one. Previously, I was the one that took the initiative to look for you, but right now, you took the initiative to look for me."

Scarlet nearly rolled their eyes upon hearing that. Who said that they were looking for him? It was just a coincidence! If she knew that he was going to be here, why would she come here? She would have made sure to never come over here again.

Jaden on the other hand did not think so. It was clear that this guy had been waiting for them. After all, from his reaction, together with his actions, it was as if he had already anticipated that something like this was going to happen.

The two of them did not say anything, and remained silent. The one that was surprised was none other than Lucas. He had not expected that Jaden and Scarlet had already met with this man.

What had happened during the time that they had met? He was not sure, but when he thought about the reaction that second tiger was having back then when he showed Jaden's picture to him, it was clear that the two of them were enemies.

Well, it doesn't matter what had happened back then. Nonetheless, to him, all that mattered was to have Jaden taken care of. Immediately after that, he would get out of here with Scarlet.

"Okay, now, to the first thing that I would like us to talk about. Previously, you attacked my gang, a small one, and you ended up ruining a business that was about to go through.

That immediately made my gang lose a lot of money. Additionally, the trust of the clients that were expecting to have their goods delivered to them was immediately shaken. That is not something that can easily recover, completely unlike money." Second tiger stated as he squinted his eyes, while looking at Jaden.

This was completely unexpected. Jaden had never ever thought that the group that they had dealt with previously belonged to this guy. Additionally, he was referring to goods, which implied that the people that were being kept within that building.

Of course Jaden was disgusted at the way that second tiger referred to those people as goods. It was clear that in the eyes of this person, he really did not care about the lives of the other people.

To him, all that mattered was the profits. As for the rest, he couldn't be bothered with.

"Of course, that is not the only thing that I want us to talk about. There is yet another thing that you did. I sent my people to take care of another business, but you beat them up, leading to them not completing the mission that they had been given.

Yet again, that is something that made me lose both money and trust of my clients. What do you think we should do about it?" Second tiger asked.

This time, his voice was completely indifferent, as killing intent leaked from his body.

"Oh, I forgot something. Let me introduce myself. I am known as second tiger, the second in command of the tiger gang. Now, I want an answer from you. You have 3 seconds." Second tiger stated.
