3.7% The Bodyguard System / Chapter 15: Optional Mission

Capítulo 15: Optional Mission

He could not help but be slightly dumbfounded when he realized that there were several clothes within the wardrobe. And each and every one of them looked extremely expensive.

For a moment, Jaden did not breathe. He stretched his hand forward, and touched the clothes. He realized that they were made of quality material. Just by touching them, he could feel how soft they were, but they were also extremely tough and could not be easily worn out.

After retrieving his hand, Jaden could not help but wonder if the room that he had been given belonged to someone else. After all, these clothes did not belong to him, right?

Just as he was wondering if he was given the wrong room, he suddenly noticed that there was a small note that was placed on top of a few folded clothes. He took it and hesitated for a moment, on whether he was supposed to read it or not. At the end of it all, perhaps this was something that belonged to somebody else?

After a few seconds of hesitation, he decided to read it anyway. The moment that he took the note, he could not help but be a little surprised considering that the note was actually addressed to him.

{Mr. Jaden, I purchased a few clothes for you. We realized that you came without making arrangements of living in this place, but we are not going to allow you to go back for the time being. So, you will have to use the clothes here during the time that you will be on duty.}

After reading the note, Jaden guessed that the one who had left the note was definitely Steven. He was the butler of the house, and he was definitely the one that could address him as Mr. Jaden.

After reading the note, Jaden could not help but wonder at how powerful the Johnsons were. He was only coming today, but they had already made arrangements for him, and even purchased clothes for him in just a short time.

From the time that he had been informed by Clifford that they were looking for information about him, to the time that he arrived here, it was just about an hour or so. But even then, they had already made such arrangements.

Just in case, Jaden decided to take a few pairs of clothes so that he could test them out if they fit him. He could not help but be continuously surprised when he realized that those clothes were actually meant for his body.

One had to know that the current Jaden had already changed much ever since he had been healed by the system. But even then, these clothes actually matched the current physique that he possessed.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he could not help but be surprised by how much he had changed by just changing the clothes that he was wearing.

Jaden was just intending to relax when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Without hesitation, he immediately put on a pair of clothes, a plain white T-shirt, and black sweatpants before he headed to the door.

When he opened it, he was surprised when he realized that it was Scarlet who was out of the door.

The moment that the door was opened, Scarlet could not help but be surprised. She looked at Jaden who had appeared in front of her, and was momentarily dazed.

The reason behind that simply being that he had changed completely the moment that he put on the clothes that he was having now. He was completely different from the way that he was during the time that she had seen him first.

But even then, Scarlet was able to recover quite quickly. With a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, she said, "I want to practice. Why don't you accompany me to the gym that is located in the main mansion?"

For a moment, Jaden did not believe what he had just heard. What was wrong with this lady? He had just arrived today, and yet here she was, asking him to accompany her for training.

"Are you sure that is okay?" Jaden asked. Of course, he was hesitant in training with this lady. At the end of it all, he had just arrived, and they did not know each other that much. Additionally, from the look that this lady was giving him, it was clear that she was definitely not planning something good.

Moreover, if he went ahead and trained with her, what was he supposed to train with her in? It might be true that he possessed some skills when it came to fighting, but it was not as if he had been trained professionally.

The skills that he possessed were due to the street fights that he had been involved in during the years that he had been surviving ever since his parents died.

To him, the job of being a bodyguard was simply for him to protect this lady. In case there was a group of people that came to kidnap her or something like that, he was the one that was supposed to deal with that.

Initially, he would have definitely have much trouble dealing with many people, but after his strength had been increased, it was definitely quite easy for him to deal with that situation. If he was asked to fight with those people that had beat him up before, he would definitely be able to deal with them quite easily as compared before.

The only problem was the fact that he did not possess the skills that were required for combat, though he possessed enough strength.

"Of course I am sure about it. Or do you think that I came all the way here just to joke with you?" Scarlet asked as anger could be seen in her eyes. She really did not like a mere bodyguard asking her after she had asked him to do something.

Just as Jaden was about to say something, another prompt appeared in front of him.

[Optional mission issued. Survive 2 minutes under the attacks of Scarlet. Reward: Beginner level combat skills.]

Jaden was momentarily stunned. A mission had actually been generated just like that? Additionally, the reward had been stated this time, completely different from the mission that he had been given first, to make sure that he maintained his position as a bodyguard for a week.

The only thing that he was disappointed about was the fact that the reward that he was going to be given was just beginner level combat skills. Were the skills that he possessed not at the beginning level?

In any case, the mission that he was given was optional, and he could decide to not complete it. So, Jaden was about to decline it when suddenly, Scarlet spoke up.

"You better do what I asked. Otherwise, you can as well leave this place and go back to wherever you came from. It is not as if I am going to have a weak bodyguard to protect me." Scarlet snorted when she looked at Jaden.

She could tell that Jaden was not willing to go to the gym with her. As for whether he was afraid of her or not, she did not care. To her, since he did not want to go, that implied that the plan that she was having was definitely going to fail.

So, it was better for her to provoke him, to ensure that he agreed. Otherwise, if he did not agree, she would have to come up with another strategy in order to deal with him. But of course, it was not as if she liked thinking that much, unless it was necessary.

She did not want to start scheming against this guy, as she had already gotten used to dealing with most of the problem in the most simple way possible.

When Jaden heard what Scarlet had said, he could not help but be slightly surprised. Then, thinking about the mission that he had been given by the system, to maintain the position as a bodyguard for a week, he definitely could not accept to be sent away.

Additionally, if he was not a bodyguard, then what was going to be the use of the bodyguard system? That implied that no matter what he had to maintain the position as a bodyguard, in order to be able to exploit the system and get the advantages from it as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Jaden stated. After that, he turned around and went back into the room. He had to put on his shoes first before going to the gym. The clothes that he was wearing were definitely not that bad for him to go to the gym with.

He already knew what was going to happen in the gym. Well, at least he hoped that it was according to the mission that he had been given by the system. If that was the case, if he was just fighting the young lady, it was definitely not going to be that much troublesome, right?

Even if the reward from the system for completing the mission was not going to be something very big, but in any case, he was going to complete the mission anyway. Just dealing with Scarlet was not going to be something that was going to take that long, right?

After putting on a pair of shoes, the two of them left the servants quarters and headed towards the main mansion. But they did not use the main entrance of the mansion, but instead, they used another entrance that was located at the back of the mansion, before they headed towards the basement.


Capítulo 16: Sparring

In the main mansion's living room, Clifford and Lynette were currently discussing some matters related to the companies that they owned.

Now that the feud with the Williams had escalated, it was definitely obvious that some troubles would be arising in the companies. But even then, there was nothing that they could do for the moment other than trying to block the Williams as much as possible, as they waited for the right moment to strike back.

Just as they were continuously discussing, Steven the old butler walked in. After giving a slight bow, Steven went ahead and spoke.

"Master, I have already made arrangements on the matters concerning Jaden. He should be able to attend the university tomorrow. More than that, I have also arranged for a small group of people to monitor him, and offer assistance just in case." Steven stated with a calm voice.

Clifford nodded. Steven was quite efficient when it came to dealing with these matters. That was the reason why he was the butler, even after his father had handed over the position of the lead of the family to him.

"That's good. With that group that you have organized for, it should be definitely quite easy to help Jaden in case he doesn't have the capability of handling the problems that he would be facing." Clifford stated.

It was not that they trusted Jaden that much. In any case, according to the background information that they possessed about Jaden, they understood that he had gone to a certain organization for training, but they did not know much about his combat capabilities.

After all, despite the fact that the Johnsons were quite influential, they did not possess any influence in that organization. So, it was impossible for them to be able to get information about Jaden and his achievements in that organization.

But even then, since Jaden did not spend that much time in the organization, they believed that his abilities were definitely not that much high. So, even if the group that they had organized was not as skilled as Jaden was, but they at least could make up the numbers, and help whenever possible.

Just as Clifford was about to continue discussing with Lynette on the countermeasures that they were supposed to take, he realized that Steven had not left.

"Is there something else that you would like to say?" Clifford asked with raised brows. This was definitely the first time that he had seen Steven holding back from saying something.

"That's right master. I have just realized that young lady Scarlet has gone to the servants quarters. I do believe that she is planning something against Mr. Jaden. This is definitely not good, right?" Steven stated with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Of course, he understood the personality that Scarlet possessed. Since they had looked for a bodyguard for her, she was definitely going to look for a way that she was going to send that guy away.

But with the current situation that the family was facing, Scarlet definitely required a bodyguard. And if Scarlet did something that made Jaden to leave, and he actually possessed enough capabilities to be able to protect her, then they would have made a big loss.

Clifford frowned for a moment before he responded, "Just let it be. But just in case, you can monitor the movements that Scarlet is making. We cannot afford to lose Jaden for the time being, unless we understand his capabilities fully. If he doesn't have much capabilities, we can just send him away after we find another person to replace him."

"Okay master. I will do that now." Steven responded before he turned around and left the living room.

Lynette looked at Clifford and asked, "Are you sure about this? If Scarlet actually ends up offending Jaden, and the relationship between the two of them gets tense, it definitely will not be helpful considering that Jaden will have to protect Scarlet."

"There's no problem at all. I don't believe that Scarlet is going to do something that is going to ruin the relationship between her and Jaden. And even if she does something like that, I do believe that the relationship will not be ruined in such a way that they would be enemies with each other." Clifford responded.

Then, he continued after a moment of silence, "It might be true that Scarlet is kind of stubborn, but even then, she has some brains. So, I do believe that she will not go that far when it comes to provoking other people."

Lynette wanted to say something, but in the end, she decided to remain silent. After all, she understood the matter, and this was just a test that they had talked about not long ago, about trying out the abilities that Jaden possessed.

It would be good If they could use Scarlet to test out the abilities that Jaden possessed. If he actually did not even possess the ability to deal with Scarlet, that implied that he was definitely not qualified to be protecting Scarlet.

"Well, let's hope everything goes well." Lynette stated before she focused on other matters.

Jaden followed Scarlet into the basement that was located in the main mansion. Although it was a basement, it was quite well arranged, and it did not look like a basement at all.

The lights in this place illuminated every corner of the basement, including the corridor that they had utilized in order to enter into the training room, removing any darkness.

The air within the basement was well circulated considering that several air conditioners had been installed in the basement, and they were capable of maintaining a good atmosphere within the basement.

During the time that they were coming in, Jaden realized that the basement possessed three different doors. The doors were currently closed, and the one that they had entered into was the one that led to the gym, which was the training area for the mansion.

The gym was quite big, occupying a large area of about 3,000 m². It was clear that the basement was bigger than the mansion that was located on top.

The gym was well equipped with all the modern equipment, and there was even a ring that could be used for sparring or fights. Additionally, around the ring, there were even several pairs of benches, obviously for the spectators.

Currently, in the entire gym, there was nobody else other than a lady who was currently training by punching a punching bag. She was wearing black lady gym crop top, and a pair of tight trousers, accompanied by white sports shoes.

She was sweating as she continuously punched the punching bag. And when the two of them entered, she did not even pay attention to them, and just continued with what she was doing.

Jaden observed her movements for a while, and he could not help but be a little surprised by the power that she possessed. With every time that she punched the punching bag, it would tremble intensely, that even he who was in a distance could see it clearly.

At that moment, Jaden realized that he was definitely not supposed to underestimate the Johnsons. Just this lady here was possessing such strength, then what about the bodyguards that they had been getting before?

Scarlet did not pay attention to the lady who was continuously training, but instead, she headed straight to the ring. The moment that she got into the ring, she realized that Jaden was paying attention to the other lady that was training.

Pursing her lips, she looked at Jaden and asked angrily, "What are you staring at? Don't tell me that you want to marry her as you have already fallen in love with her the moment that you saw her?"

Jaden could not help but feel his lips twitch when he heard what Scarlet had said. Was it wrong to look at a person training? Additionally, it was not as if he was looking at her obsequiously, right?

He was just impressed by the power that this lady possessed, and that was all. But in any case, he did not respond, and immediately headed towards the ring.

But he did not enter into the ring, and stood outside. He was not sure what Scarlet was planning, but he believed that it might be related to the mission. But in any case, unless Scarlet asked him to enter into the ring, he was definitely not going to do so.

"What? Don't tell me that you are afraid of fighting with me? I wanted a sparring partner, and as you can see, my cousin over there is busy training on her own. So, I can only ask you to train with me." Scarlet narrowed her eyes as she looked at Jaden, while saying with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

Jaden immediately understood the relationship between Scarlet and the lady on the other side. But he did not care about it, and immediately jumped into the ring. In any case, he had a mission to complete, and that was what he was going to do.

The moment that Jaden jumped into the ring, Scarlet did not give him a chance at all, and immediately attacked. She wanted to prove that this guy was definitely not qualified to be her bodyguard. And after beating him up, she would go ahead and talk to him about logic, where he was weak as compared to the person that he was supposed to protect.

That way, with his ego as a man, he would definitely not continue wanting to protect Scarlet, who had just beaten him up. That way, she would be able to make him retreat by himself.

Jaden who had just stepped into the ring sensed the attack. Immediately, he leaned backwards without hesitation, despite the fact that he was sneak attacked.
