5.78% The Bodyguard System / Chapter 24: Change of Plans

Capítulo 24: Change of Plans

Jaden did not say anything and remained silent. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Where's the person that you were talking about meeting with?"

Scarlet simply frowned after hearing the question from Jaden. But she did not respond. She herself did not know what was going on, and why the heck Lucas was not here by now. But even then, he took out her phone, preparing to make a call.

But it was at this time that suddenly, she suddenly realized that there was a figure that was coming over. It was none other than Lucas. The guy was completely surprised when he realized that there was a group of people that was lying on the ground in the alleyway where they had agreed to meet previously.

He could see that each and every one of them had suffered an injury of a certain magnitude. Although the interest that they had suffered was nothing fatal, but even then, it was definitely not something that could be underestimated.

He looked further away from the three that were lying on the ground, and realized that Scarlet was looking towards him. And behind her, there was a young man who looked almost the same age as himself, whom he presumed to be the bodyguard.

He could not help but frown when he looked at Jaden. He did not like having another guy being beside Scarlet at all. And it seemed that this was the person that Scarlet's parents had arranged for him to be her bodyguard.

And by just looking at the area, she realized that somehow, Scarlet had been attacked. And those that had attacked was definitely this group that was on the ground.

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed forward and arrived where Scarlet was. He immediately looked at her, trying to see if there was any injury on her. He was immediately relieved when he realized that there was no injury that Scarlet had suffered.

Immediately after he was done scrutinizing Scarlet, he looked at her, anticipating the question that was to come. As for the matter of Jaden, he completely ignored the guy. It might be true that this guy was kind of capable, but he did not believe that he was the one that who had taken care of this group of gangsters.

Anyway, this was just an assumption that he had made due to the information that he had been given by Scarlet. Scarlet had previously informed him that Jaden was kind of capable, but she had definitely not informed him that he was strong enough to be able to deal with her. So, at this moment, Lucas believed that it was Scarlet who had dealt with this group of gangsters.

"Why are you so late?" Scarlet asked. Of course, she was completely irritated. Had it not been for the fact that Lucas was late, they would have definitely not encountered this situation.

If Lucas was here, that implied that he would have already noticed the presence of those gangsters. It would have not been impossible for him to be able to deal with them, though not personally.

By the time that she would have arrived here, there would definitely be no gangster that would have launched a sneak attack on her. And no matter how much she did not want to admit it, he understood that it was due to the presence of Jaden that she had managed to get out of this situation unscathed.

But of course, that did not imply that Jaden escaped the blame as well. After all, had it not been for the fact that Jaden was her bodyguard, she would have not been planning to come here all along in order to deal with him. Instead, she would have gone directly to the university, and nobody would have attacked her in this alleyway.

"I was kind of caught up with matters related to the family. For some reason, there was somebody that was trying to target my family. And for that reason, I had no choice but to deal with other matters before coming over. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that I caused." Lucas immediately explained with a forced smile on his face.

In any case, he really did not want to have Scarlet suffering anything like this at all. But the situation that he was encountering back at home was something that he could not simply ignore. In the end, he arrived late, and something like this happened.

Of course, although he did not say it loud, he was definitely going to make investigations of his own. The moment that he knew who it was that was behind this matter, he would immediately take care of them.

To a person like him, he really did not care if the person that had sent this group of gangsters to attack Scarlet was backed by the Williams or not. In any case, he would definitely deal with them when the time comes.

Scarlet did not say anything after hearing Lucas's explanation. In any case, it was not as if she did not understand the situation that Lucas was experiencing. In case his father actually asked this guy to remain at home, there was no way that this guy was going to resist at all.

In the end, since it had already come to this, Scarlet was no longer in the mood to deal with Jaden at the moment. Instead, she decided that it was better for her to go into campus first. After all, she could not tell if another group of gangsters would suddenly charge over to attack them again.

"Let's go. We will deal with the other matters later on. But for now, we have to focus on that group. We have to deal with them as soon as possible." Scarlet stated as she led the way out of the alley.

Lucas was a little surprised when he realized that Scarlet did not seem to have the intention of dealing with Jaden anymore. He looked at Jaden with a cold gaze, but the guy seemed to be ignoring him.

This was something that displeased him even more about this guy. But there was nothing that he could do for now. Of course, he understood the reason why Scarlet had decided not to deal with this guy for now. With her encountering this situation where she was attacked, it was definitely not the right opportunity for them to engage with another group of gangsters.

Even though Scarlet had decided that she was no longer going to deal with Jaden for now, that did not imply that Lucas was going to do the same. Instead, with a sinister smile on his face, he planned secretly in his mind, as he followed behind Scarlet.

Jaden had already detected that this new guy who had arrived here was definitely having some intentions towards him, and they were definitely not the best. But even then, there was nothing that he could do for now.

He had already anticipated that there might be something that Scarlet was planning before, but it seemed that the arrival of those gangsters that had been sent by the Williams had disrupted the plan that she was having before.

Nevertheless, he followed the two of them, while making sure that they would be no any other sneak attack on Scarlet. He was her bodyguard after all, and he had to ensure her security.

It did not take that long for them to be able to get back to the area where Scarlet had left the vehicle. Scarlet immediately got into the car, and Jaden did not waste time and immediately entered into the passenger seat of the Ferrari f8 spider.

This was something that completely irritated both Lucas and Scarlet. But even then, there was nothing that Scarlet could do for the time being. In any case, she was supposed to be together with Jaden, considering that he was kind of skilled, and he was her bodyguard. So, it was only right for him to go with her.

As for Lucas, he wanted to go ahead and pull Jaden out of the car, but when he looked at the eyes that Scarlet was looking at him, he understood her intention. It seemed that she had no choice but to have this guy accompany her.

As much as he was unwilling to have another man inside Scarlet's car, Lucas could only let it be. But of course, the rage within his heart had increased by a great margin. He himself had never entered into Scarlet's car, and he was thinking that perhaps this was a chance for him to be able to enter. But this guy just had to enter, destroying the opportunity that would definitely be difficult for him to be able to get again.

Through his gritted teeth, he could only subdue the anger that he was feeling at the moment, while watching the two of them entering into the campus.

Immediately after the two of them left, he took out his phone and made a call. A few moments later, somebody else received the call, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, Lucas immediately gave his instructions.

"We have changed the plans. The issue is not going to be taken care of right now. But within today, you have to find an opportunity in order to deal with that guy in the most cruel way possible. Make sure that he leaves after today, otherwise, you know what will happen." Lucas barked the orders with anger in his eyes, before ending the call and striding towards the entrance of the campus.


Capítulo 25: Investigation

Jaden and Scarlet managed to enter into the university without much trouble. Arrangements had already been made about Jaden, and so, Scarlet already possessed the identity card for Jaden.

So, in order for them to be able to enter into the gate of the university, Scarlet revealed the card that belonged to her, while handing Jaden's card to him. Previously, she had forgotten to give it to him, and only remembered about it after being asked about it at the entrance.

After confirmation, the two of them managed to enter into the campus. Then, Scarlet drove directly towards the area where she usually parked her vehicle.

Since it was still quite early in the morning, only a few people could be found within the campus. As for those that lived within the hostels of the campus, they were still yet to wake up, with only few bookworms and stubborn youths being already out of bed to venture into the library or to find someone to cause trouble to.

After the two of them alighted from the car, they were definitely spotted by a few people that were passing by. At that moment, they could not help but be surprised the moment that they realized that there was actually a person who had come out of Scarlet's vehicle.

Immediately, they began scrutinizing this young man who had come together with Scarlet. But no matter how much they looked at him, this guy was definitely average. There was nothing outstanding about him at all.

Both Jaden and Scarlet did not pay much attention to the gazes that they were receiving, but instead, they immediately headed toward the classrooms. Steven had already made arrangements, and so, Jaden was not required to do much other than to report to the administration block in order to give his signatures.

But of course, since it was still early in the morning, they would have to wait until 8:00 before he could sign the documents. As for the other matters, they had already been arranged, and he was going to pursue the same course as Scarlet. In short, they were going to be coursemates.

This was yet another thing that Scarlet disliked about the arrangements that her family had made. But in the end, there was nothing that she could do for the time being, and could only hope that at some point in time, she would be able to deal with this guy and send him away.

The two of them managed to get into the lecture theater block that was in charge of the financial statistics. Then, they went to the third floor, and entered into the huge lecture hall.

Scarlet was the first one to enter into the room. The moment that she got in, she immediately went towards the back of the lecture hall. That was usually the position that she took during lectures.

Jaden on the other hand had just arrived, and he was definitely clueless about what financial statistics dealt with. And for that reason, it was definitely impossible for him to be sitting in front. So, just as Scarlet, he went behind and sat on a chair that was one row away from her.

Scarlet frowned when she realized that Jaden was also sitting at the back. She could not help but think that this guy was too much serious when it came to his duty as a bodyguard. Since they were in class, what kind of danger could be here? Was he just going to make sure that he was everywhere that she was?

Truthfully saying, I did not mean for the fact that Scarlet understood that it was definitely impossible for her to be able to deal with him, he would have already beaten him up and chased him away from her.

In the end, she decided to ignore him, and focus on her phone, while waiting for the time for the classes to begin. The classes were going to begin at 8:30, and they were already several hours early. So, they would have to remain within the class for several hours.

Of course, in normal situations, if Scarlet came to school this early, she would be doing something else. But with this guy here, she was definitely restricted. If she did something on this guy informed her parents about it, it was definitely going to be troublesome. So, she decided to restrict herself for now, while waiting for a chance to get rid of him.

Realizing that there was nothing to do for the time being, Jaden decided to focus on the prompt that he had received after completing the mission of dealing with that group of gangsters.

[Congratulations on completing the mission. You have been rewarded with intermediate level combat skills.]

That was the prompt that he had received the moment that he finished dealing with the group of gangsters. Previously, he had not focused on it considering that there was another matter that they still had to handle.

But now that he was free, he focused on the reward. Intermediate level combat skills. He was not sure about how strong he would become after receiving the intermediate level combat skills, but even then, he believed that he would definitely get more powerful than before.

Just the basic level skills were enough for him to be able to deal with that group of gangsters. But with the intermediate level, he believed that it would be definitely easy for him to be able to deal with them.

Without hesitation, Jaden decided to retrieve the reward. The moment that he decided so, he suddenly felt like a huge hammer had been struck on his head. At the same time, he felt dizzy, while a huge load of information was suddenly poured into his mind.

The information was basically on what he was supposed to do when facing a certain situation and so on, all of them related to combat. At the same time, he felt like his muscles were being pricked by needles.

Of course, that kind of pain was not anything that could make Jaden flinch, but the problem was the fact that he was feeling the prickling sensation all over his body. So, even if it was not that painful, it was definitely uncomfortable for him.

For a moment, he could not help but twist his body a little, trying to relieve himself from the uncomfortable feeling. His movements definitely attracted Scarlet's attention, considering that she was paying attention to his movements all along.

Even though Jaden's movements were subtle, but still, they could not escape Scarlet. She might be looking at her phone, but even then, she was paying attention to Jaden.

She was still thinking of a method that she was going to utilize in order to deal with this guy. It was definitely going to be impossible for them to deal with him with a simple tactic of inviting a group of gangsters over.

He was capable of dealing with a group of gangsters who were attacking from a distance by himself without even needing her help. But still, he was capable of securing her safety while dealing with them without suffering any injury.

That was enough to demonstrate how capable this guy was. To say the truth, for a moment, she had been shaken by the attack. But even then, she did not believe that the Williams would continue attacking once again. After all, she had already texted her parents about what had happened, and she believed that they would definitely take care of the issue as soon as possible.

Leaving Scarlet aside, Jaden continued feeling the prickling sensation all over his body. At the same time, he felt like his muscles were squirming, which was completely uncomfortable for him.

Had it not been for the fact that he was currently next to Scarlet, he would have already been making bigger movements in order to relieve himself. But nevertheless, he could not do that, and could only try to endure it silently.

Finally, after about 2 minutes, the sensation completely disappeared. But at this moment, Jaden could not help but feel like there was something wrong. Why was it that he felt like his strength had not increased at all?

With all the prickling sensation all over his body, he had been expecting that perhaps his strength would be increased by a certain margin. After all, how was he supposed to possess intermediate combat level skills and execute them if he did not possess enough strength?

At this moment, the system responded to him through a prompt.

[The host has to understand that the reward that he has received is basically the skills, and not a direct improvement on the host's physical capabilities. If the host wants to improve his own physical capabilities, he would have to complete missions with the reward that is related to physical improvement.]

Jaden thought about it for a while, before he found it reasonable. In any case, even if it was true that he could not fully execute the intermediate combat level skills with his current physical capabilities, but that did not mean that he had not improved.

It might be true that he would not be as efficient with the skills as he would have been if he was stronger, but even then, he was definitely way better than before. The information that he had received before was something that was related to the intermediate combat skills, and he understood them quite well.

Deciding not to focus on the matter for the time being, Jaden took out his old smartphone, before he began scrolling through the internet looking for any news that was related to the Williams.

Since he was going to deal with them, it was better if he was going to receive information about them and get himself prepared. Otherwise, he might end up facing something that he had not expected. At that moment, he began investigating about the members of the Williams family.
