"We have to take care of the Johnsons as soon as possible. If they continue existing within this city, they will definitely hinder our expansion. Moreover, the mission that we have been given will definitely not be able to succeed if there is another person that can compete with us." A middle aged man with long beards stated with a solemn expression.
This person was the leader of the Williams. He was holding the same position as the one that Clifford was holding, controlling the second of the two largest families in the city.
The relationship between the two families had never been good, due to how many times they were colliding with each other in businesses.
Currently, the Williams had managed to find somebody that was willing to help them so that they could advance. But for them to advance, they were given a simple mission, and that was to make sure that they dealt with any competition within the city.
They had to be the supreme powerhouse in the entire city for them to receive the assistance. Otherwise, they will definitely lose the chance that they had been given.
With that, the Williams could no longer hold it back anymore, and immediately began fighting with the Johnsons openly. Of course, the matter of the two families fighting against each other was well known in the upper echelons of the city.
Currently, the losses that the two families had experienced were definitely unimaginable. But even then, the Williams did not really care much about the losses that they were experiencing, considering that they would be able to recover as long as they received the assistance.
That was the reason why they were not holding back at all when attacking the Johnsons. And this was also the reason why they were capable of suppressing the Johnsons, despite the fact that the two of them were at the same level, and the Johnsons were actually a little bit stronger than them.
But since they did not care much about the losses, completely different from the Johnsons, they were capable of mobilizing much more force, easily dealing with the Johnsons that were still caring much about the losses that they were going to suffer.
The middle-aged man was currently in his study room. He was seated behind his magnificent desk that was made out of mahogany. On top of the mahogany desk, there was a pile of files that were currently disorganized.
But even then, the middle-aged man did not seem to care much about the files. Behind him, there was a huge shelf that contained several books and interior flower decorations.
In front of him, there was a couch. On it, two people were currently sitting on. One of them was a middle-aged man, and the other one was an old man. The old man possessed gray hair, and his face was filled with wrinkles, indicating how old he was. But even then, his blue eyes were bright, indicating his high spirit.
He was currently sitting in a slanting posture, indicating how old he was. And despite his old age, the two people around him respected him by a large margin.
The middle-aged man on the other hand possessed a bald head that was currently shining under the illumination of the light in the ceiling of the room. He possessed a clean shaven chin, narrow eyes, creases on his forehead, and possessed a hint of cunningness.
He was currently smiling, as if he really did not care much about what the other middle-aged man had said.
"Why are you smiling in such a situation? You do understand that if we don't take care of the matter as soon as possible, we are going to lose an opportunity that is hard to come by. We were extremely lucky to be able to get this opportunity, and we are definitely not supposed to lose it." The bearded middle-aged man, Philip stated as he looked at the bald head with a frown.
His muscular body together with his frightening expression made the bald head suddenly stop smiling, considering that he was intimidated by the other party. But even then, he did not say anything, and just remained silent.
When the other party realized that, he could only give up on that matter for their time being. Instead, he looked at the old man who had been silent all this while, waiting to get his opinion.
When the old man, Ezekiel realized that Philip was looking at him, he cleared his throat before he spoke. "I do understand that you are currently in a hurry. But you don't have to worry much considering that we were given 3 months in order to take care of this matter. It might be true that the Johnsons are kind of difficult to take care of within 3 months, but as long as we go all out, it should definitely not be much troublesome for us to be able to take care of them."
"The only thing that we have to do right now is to continue risking many things in order to achieve what we want. It is true that we are going to lose so much, but at the end of it all, we are going to destroy the Johnsons. And after the Johnsons are destroyed, the benefits that we are going to be able to get are going to be capable of recovering all the losses that we would have suffered."
After hearing what the old man had said, Philip fell into a moment of contemplation. It was not as if he did not understand this concept, considering that he was the one that had been putting much pressure on the Johnsons.
It was just that he was not going all out, trying to minimize the losses as much as possible. It was his habit of being cautious that had made him and the family continue succeeding ever since he had taken over the position.
He was not willing to risk everything all at once. After all, nobody could tell if the other party would suddenly decide to change his mind. If they decided to change their mind and did not support them, even if they had taken care of the Johnsons, the other forces within the city would definitely take the opportunity to take them down.
As if the old man could already know what Philip was thinking, he shook his head and said, "Sometimes, you have to throw cautiousness out of the window in order to be able to achieve greater achievements. If you continue with this habit of yours of trying to hold back, you will definitely suffer some losses at some point in the future."
Philip did not say anything, and continued contemplating on what the old man had said. He realized that what the old man had said was the truth.
If they actually managed to take care of the Johnsons as soon as possible, that would reduce the chances of the other party suddenly changing their mind. So, it was better for them to go all out.
He looked at the bald-headed guy, Ruben, and said, "You can take action now. But make sure that you don't go overboard for now. We are going to take care of them slowly, before we finish them in one fell swoop."
"Hahaha! That was all that I was waiting for. Had you actually given me permission to take care of this matter before, I would have definitely finished everything already. But you just keep on holding back and pitying your opponents." Ruben laughed out loud and was so excited that his entire body was shaking from the laughter.
Philip simply frowned after hearing what Ruben had said, but he did not comment anything. Instead, he began thinking of several countermeasures on what to do later on the moment that they began taking full action against the Johnsons.
When Ruben realized that Philip was not saying anything, he could not help but feel a little displeased. But even then, he thought to himself, 'Just you wait. I will take care of this matter so swiftly, in such a way that even if you plan, by the time that you will be wanting to carry out the plans that you have, I will have already completely taken care of the entire Johnsons.'
Nobody knew what Ruben was thinking about, but the meeting between them had already ended. They had already decided to take care of the Johnsons, and with that, several phone calls were made.
…
On that specific day, the pressure that the Johnsons were experiencing suddenly increased. It seemed that the other party did not seem to care much about the losses that they were suffering, as long as they took them down.
For a moment, the Johnsons could not help but wonder if they had actually done something that had made the Williams go crazy. After all, according to them, it seemed that the Williams wanted to take them down with them.
From their perspective, they could not see any benefit that the Williams were going to get if they took them down at a great loss. At the end of the day, if they themselves lost more than half of their power, the other forces in the city will definitely take advantage of them.
On the other hand, while the Johnsons and the Williams were fighting against each other, the other forces in the city could not help but get excited. It might be true that the two families were the greatest forces within the city, but that did not imply that there were no other forces in the city that were almost of the same level.
At this moment, they were watching everything from the sides, waiting for the two families to suffer losses, before taking advantage of them and taking them down all together at the same time. At that time, if they took advantage of the two families, they would definitely be able to be the new leaders of the city.
Jaden spent the rest of the day in his room, and even his meals were brought to him. He interacted with a few people within the mansion, but the communication between them was not that deep.
Scarlet did not come to disturb him anymore for the rest of the day, and he got more time to understand much more about his current capabilities. Of course, Jaden did not know that after the system edited his information, it was claimed that he had actually gone to a certain organization.
Had he known about it, he would have definitely blamed the system. Otherwise, the system was claiming that he possessed several skills, but had it not been for the fact that he had completed a mission of surviving for 2 minutes under the attacks from Scarlet, he would have definitely possessed no skills at all, other than the ones that he possessed during the time that he was fighting in the streets.
Nevertheless, during the night, Jaden slept soundly. It was extremely comfortable sleeping on that comfy bed. The entire room was warm, and so was the beddings.
The following morning, Jaden woke up early. That was a habit of his, considering that he had already engaged in several jobs, so he had already adapted waking up early in the morning.
He had just finished freshening up when suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Wondering who it was, that had come over this early in the morning, Jaden headed for the door after putting on a pair of clothes.
The moment that he opened the door, he realized that the one that was out of the door was none other than Scarlet. The lady was currently dressed in a lady's black cargo pants, a white T-shirt and a blue jacket over it. She was also wearing a pair of white sneakers.
One thing that Jaden had noticed so far about Scarlet was the fact that this lady never put on any makeup. But even then, she was a natural beauty.
According to Jaden's estimations, Scarlet was definitely not that much older that than himself. But nevertheless, he felt that this lady was kind of mischievous and much more stubborn than himself.
In any case, he had experienced a lot of things, and it was normal for him to be more mature than this lady who was from a rich family, not experiencing the troubles like the ones that he had undergone.
When Scarlet noticed that Jaden was looking at her, she could not help but frown. It was not a problem that Jaden was looking at her, but the problem was the fact that Jaden was actually staring at her without saying anything.
Although she was displeased, thinking about the fact that she was not capable of defeating this guy by herself, she decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
"What are you looking at?! You should get ready, because I'm going to school early today. I hope that you will complete your preparations in the next 10 minutes because that is the time that I'll be leaving here." Scarlet stated. Then without giving Jaden a chance of saying anything, she turned around and left.
Jaden was left speechless the moment that Scarlet said those words. For a moment, he could not help but look at the clock on the wall of the room, wondering if he was late. But it was then that he realized that it was still five in the morning.
He could not help but wonder if there was actually something wrong with the university that Scarlet was going to. How was it that she was actually going to school so early in the morning? Or could it be that she was taking a unit that required her to be in school early?
In the end, Jaden could only shake his head. He went back into the room, completed all the preparations that were required, before he stepped out of the room, heading towards the main mansion.
When he arrived at the main mansion, he realized that Scarlett was waiting for him in front of the door with a scrunched expression on her face. He raised his brows, wondering what was up with this lady.
When Scarlet noticed that Jaden had arrived, the anger that was in her eyes flared up even more. But even then, there was nothing that she could do but simply snort.
Of course she was angry at her parents, and at this guy. She did not know how this guy had convinced her parents, but somehow, they had told her But she was going to go to school together with this guy. And to make matters worse, it was said that they were actually going to use the same vehicle.
One had to know that although she was having a lot of friends back in school, none of them had actually entered into her vehicle. But now, some nobody from nowhere was actually going to enter into her car?
Although she did not want Jaden to go together with her inside her own car, there was nothing that she could do. Since it was her parents decision, she could only follow.
"Come, let's go." Scarlet stated before she headed towards the parking lot where the vehicle had already been taken.
Jaden did not say anything and immediately followed after her. As for the matter of taking breakfast, it was not as if it was a must for him to have it. He had already gotten used to having two meals a day, and that had not changed even after he came over here.
When they got there, Scarlet got into her car, and waited. Jaden on the other hand was left awkward, wondering what he was supposed to do. He looked around, wondering if Steven was here to give him instructions on what he was supposed to do, but he did not find anybody else other than the two of them here.
Now then, what was he supposed to use in order to accompany Scarlet to school? Were they actually expecting that he was going to run after Scarlet as she drove?
Pipiiiip!
Just as Jaden was not sure of what to do, the honking of the car that Scarlet was currently in brought him back to his senses. He looked over and looked at the annoyed Scarlet.
Scarlet looked at him, before opening the other door of the car. She was completely frustrated. How idiotic was this guy? Since only two of them were here, and she had asked him to follow her, was he not supposed to follow her into the car?
She had already been waiting for almost a minute, but this guy had not entered into the car. Instead, he looked confused, looking around like a lost person.
When Jaden noticed that Scarlet had opened the passenger door of her car, it was then that he understood that he was supposed to go together with her in the same car.
'It seems that it is quite different with these rich people. In the movies that I watched before, I always saw that bodyguards possessed vehicles of their own, following behind the vehicles of their boss. But now, it seems that I will be going with her in the same car.' Jaden could not help but think to himself.
Nevertheless, he wasted no time and entered into the vehicle. The moment that he got into the vehicle, Scarlet's perfume hit his nose. It was the smell of jasmine.
Inside the Ferrari, there was an array of items that belonged to a lady. To say the truth, the items inside the vehicle actually indicated that Scarlet was a lady, completely different from the personality that she possessed.
In terms of appearance, it was clear that she was a lady, but nevertheless, her personality and behavior completely contradicted with that of a lady.
Scarlet did not really care about what Jaden was thinking at the time. Instead, she immediately stepped onto the accelerator after the raving of the engine, before the car sped off.
The gate was already wide open, indicating that the security had already noticed that Scarlet was about to leave. So, the car went out of the compound without stopping, before they finally reached the road.
At this moment, Jaden's heart could not help but pound erratically. He wondered how crazy this lady was. But nevertheless, he realized that she possessed incredible driving skills. She had already made several drifts before they finally reached the main road that led towards the university.
In the end, if he compared his own driving skills to those that Scarlet possessed, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to win against her. But nevertheless, It was not as if he was competing with her, right?
The two of them did not speak to each other at all, as Scarlet drove towards Bodvill. At the same time, she was thinking to herself that when they got there, Jaden would definitely get what he deserved. At that time, he would definitely agree to leave her alone, and resign from his position as a bodyguard.
Thinking of what was to come, the anger that Scarlet was having suddenly reduced by a great margin. But nevertheless, she was not happy about having a man inside her car, especially not a person that she did not want to be with, her own bodyguard.
It took them a few minutes before they finally arrived outside of the gate of Bodvill. And when they got there, Jaden could not help but frown. The reason behind that was because he could not see any students around.
It seemed that Scarlet had come over not because she was having a class, but instead, it was simply because she was having plans of her own. As for what plans they were, Jaden did not have the authority to ask her about it.
"Get out. We have to meet someone here first before we enter into the campus." Scarlet stated while looking at Jaden.
At the same time, Jaden received a prompt from the system.
[Deal with the group of gangsters and establish your authority. Reward, intermediate level combat skills.]
