7.87% The Bodyguard System / Chapter 33: Ploy, He's Strong

Capítulo 33: Ploy, He's Strong

In response to the question, Jaden simply shrugged his shoulders without saying anything. After all, what was he supposed to say? This was a fair fight, and Scarlet was the one who had taken the initiative to fight.

Scarlet had come to understand one thing about Jaden. This guy was extremely rude. Completely different from the bodyguards that her family had hired for her, this guy would not listen to just anything that she said.

The ones that had come before him had always listened to each and every command that she gave. If she told them to do something, they would immediately take action and do it. But the same could not be said about Jaden.

Although he did not blatantly refuse, but nevertheless, he was quite smart, using logic, in such a way that he would not be implicated in any case. After all, she also understood that his duty was a bodyguard, and was to protect her.

Since he had taken action and protected her from being injured by Alfie, it implied that he had already completed the task. And thinking about it, it was not as if there was any kind of enmity that would require Alfie to kill her. So, there was no need for Jaden to eliminate Alfie as well.

Although she did not want to give up, she understood that she definitely had to retreat at this moment. It was clear that they had been defeated, but they had no choice. The only thing that she could do right now was to go back and train as much as possible, so that she could defeat Alfie next time.

Or if that was not possible, she could only try to strategize so that she could make Jaden fight against Alfie. She believed that with his strength, he was definitely going to be able to take care of Alfie. After all, he was stronger than her, making it possible for him to be able to defeat him.

But of course, she understood that it was going to be difficult for her to be able to scheme against Jaden. This guy was kind of smart, and she herself was not that good when it came to scheming.

When she thought about scheming, she suddenly thought of somebody, Lucas. That guy, although he usually followed behind her and did whatever she told him to do, she understood that he was definitely a scheming person.

With his brains, it was definitely not impossible for him to be able to make an arrangement so that Jaden and Alfie would fight against each other.

With that thought in mind, she snorted before jumping out of the ring. Then, when Lucas approached, she whispered to him something, before leaving the gym entirely.

Previously, Lucas had been expecting that Jaden was going to help Scarlet so that they could deal with Alfie. But it seemed that he was wrong, considering that the guy did not have the intention of fighting at all.

Looking at his back as he left together with Scarlet, Lucas could not help but frown. But thinking about what Scarlet had told him, he could not help but be a little skeptical.

From what Scarlet had told him, it was clear that this guy was quite skilled. Otherwise, it was going to be impossible for her to say something like making sure that the two of them, Jaden and Alfie, fought against each other.

Thinking about how Jaden had been able to stop the attack from Alfie from landing on Scarlet, he believed it that he himself could not do the same. Although he was not willing to admit it, but he knew it in his heart.

Finally, Lucas made a decision. He would have to test out Jaden's combat ability. Until now, he did not know how strong Jaden was. And it seemed that the incident in the morning was definitely not as he had previously thought, with Scarlet being able to deal with the six gangsters alone.

Lucas was brought out of his thoughts by Harry who approached him. It seemed that he would have to deal with this group, while making arrangements so that he could make sure that Alfie and Jaden fought against each other.

"As you can see, your leader Scarlet has already retreated. Since that is the case, should we consider this our win?" Harry asked with an arrogant expression on his face. It was clear that he was happy about the fact that they had dealt with Scarlet.

It might be true that they had not actually injured her, and not even a single attack landed on her, but nevertheless, somebody from Scarlet's side had intervened in the battle between the two of them. And it was clear that Scarlet was having a disadvantage, and had it not been for the fact that, that guy intervened, she would have been defeated by Alfie.

"Humph! What are you being arrogant about? It is not as if we both don't know that the strongest person on our side did not take action at all. Otherwise, you would definitely not have any chance at all." Lucas responded with a snort.

"What strongest person are you talking about? Was it not long ago that you claimed that we previously defeated you because Scarlet was not here? And now that Scarlet has been defeated, you are claiming that is yet another person that you want to bring?" Harry asked in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you know? Did you not see that Jaden did not fight against Alfie even after he easily stopped his attack? He simply did not take action because Alfie had already gotten tired from fighting against Scarlet. If he defeated him, you would definitely not agree with that, thinking that he only took advantage of Alfie's tiredness." Lucas responded with a smile on the corner of his lips.

Harry could not help but frown. Of course, he understood that Jaden definitely possessed quite some capabilities for him to be able to prevent Alfie from hitting Scarlet. His movements were extremely agile, enabling him to be able to get into the ring and stop the attack on time.

Even though he took action only ones, Harry believed that Jaden was also strong. But of course, he did not believe that Jaden was stronger than Alfie. No matter what, he would always believe that the person that he had brought over was definitely the strongest within the campus.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Lucas and asked, "So, what are you suggesting?"

Lucas smiled broadly. He understood that his plot had actually succeeded. So without any hurry, he said, "You will have to convince Alfie to fight against Jaden. But of course, we are not going to tell Jaden to fight against Alfie. You will have to ask Alfie to convince Jaden to fight against him. Jaden doesn't seem to want to fight against Alfie simply because he thinks that Alfie is not a worthy opponent."

Harry could not help but be displeased by Lucas' words. But thinking about it, it actually made sense. After all, previously, when Scarlet and Lucas had been trying to ask Jaden to fight, the guy refused completely. In fact, he completely ignored Lucas, implying that he definitely did not care about Lucas.

As for Scarlet, she was also not obeyed. That implied that this guy was definitely not holding a small position within the group. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to continue disobeying these two people, and continue existing within the group.

As for the matter of Lucas claiming that Jaden thought that Alfie was not a worthy opponent, he thought that it might actually be true. After all, Jaden had only taken action when necessary, and saved Scarlet. But other than that, he did not show any intention of fighting against Alfie.

"Humph! Is that so? Then we will see. I will make arrangements, and you better be there when Alfie destroys that guy of yours. When that time comes, you better accept your defeat obediently." After saying those words, Harry turned around and went back to his group.

Lucas on the other hand was excited. He understood that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to convince Jaden to take action, since even Scarlet could not do the same. But it was not going to be much trouble if Alfie was the one that was provoking Jaden.

He did not believe that Jaden would not take action if he was provoked continuously by Alfie. And if this plan failed, he already possessed another plan that he would initiate immediately.

With that thought in mind, he left with the rest of the group, hurrying to follow Scarlet. They still had another thing to handle.

Harry on the other hand did not care about Lucas' group leaving. Instead, he approached Alfie with an angry expression on his face and asked, "What is the meaning of this? You actually let him go? That guy looks down on you, and you cannot hit back at all? What is the use of having you if you cannot help us in defeating Scarlet's group?"

Alfie did not respond for a while, and simply remained silent. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but Harry did not really care about what he was thinking. Instead, he only thought about the fact that they had failed to take the win in this situation.

"I am speaking to you. Do you know the reason why that guy did not fight against you? It is simply because he doesn't view you as a worthy opponent!" Harry was almost shouting as he said those words.

Of course, he was also angry about that. After all, at the end of the day, Alfie was part of the group, and his humiliation was the humiliation of the entire group.

"That guy is strong." Alfie responded with a single word, before turning around to leave. This left Harry exasperated, but he did not know what to do.


Capítulo 34: The Relation

Scarlet was of course angry about what had happened. But in the end, there was nothing that she could do for the time being. She could only hope that Jaden would fight with Alfie.

She did not doubt that Lucas would be able to convince Harry so that Alfie would come to look for Jaden for trouble. At that time, they would be able to see who was stronger than who. Of course, she believed that Jaden was stronger than Alfie.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be able to prevent Alfie from attacking. The attack that had been launched by Alfie at that time had been easily stopped by Jaden, which implied that unless Alfie possessed strength more than the one that he had exhibited at that moment, it was definitely quite an easy thing for Jaden to be able to deal with him.

And of course, she was not happy considering the fact that she had already lost the battle between her and Alfie. She had not expected that there was going to be a person like Alfie within the campus. Thinking about it, she could not help but get frustrated.

At this point, she decided that the moment that she went back, she would definitely begin training as soon as possible. It might be true that she currently held the black belt, but that was definitely only applicable to those in the same tier as herself.

If she met with a person holding a black belt from a higher tier, it was definitely quite easy for them to be able to defeat her. And she believed that Alfie might be the same. He definitely belonged to a higher tier.

Jaden followed behind Scarlet, maintaining a certain distance between them. He did not say anything, and simply remained silent as he followed her, while observing his surroundings.

He did not know where Scarlet was going this time, but nevertheless, he hoped that she would not begin causing trouble again. Otherwise, it was definitely going to be troublesome if she started looking for trouble, making him to handle it.

Johnsons Mansion

At this moment, Clifford was having a frown on his face. Of course, he had already received information about the attack that had been launched on Scarlet in the morning.

He understood that this was a move that had been made by the Williams. But even then, although he knew who it was that had made a move, he did not have any evidence that he could utilize in order to deal with them.

They had already investigated the situation, and they found out that the one that was behind ordering the gangsters to attack Scarlet was a person that was related to the Williams. It was just that the relationship between them was extremely vague, and it was difficult for them to be able to find open relationship between them.

In the end, there was nothing that they could do about it for now. But at least, they thought that it was good enough that Scarlet was okay. Otherwise, if she had been injured, they would definitely not let the Williams go.

Previously, afraid that the top bodyguard companies might be invaded by the Williams, they decided to look for a bodyguard in a small institution. This was just something that they had decided to do, so that the bodyguard could hold on for a few days before being replaced by another professional bodyguard.

But even then, it was true that they had never expected that they were going to get a person who had gone to that organization. Despite the fact that they did not understand the true capabilities that he possessed, but even then, the incident from morning was enough to be able to tell them that he was quite capable.

According to the information that they had received about Scarlet's condition at the moment, he was completely unharmed. And for that reason, Clifford had already began considering having Jaden remain as a permanent bodyguard for Scarlet, even if they dealt with the Williams.

"Father, what should we do? We cannot allow the Williams to continue running rampant like that. If we don't respond, they will definitely make a move again. After all, they think that we don't have the capabilities of acting against them." Anthony asked as he looked at Clifford.

He was the one that dotted on Scarlet the most. And of course, he was the one that was the angriest among everyone else, the moment that he received the information about Scarlet being attacked.

"You have to calm down Anthony. It is true that you know that it is the Williams that attacked, but do you have any form of evidence about it? Unless you possess enough evidence, you should definitely not make any reckless move. Otherwise, you will definitely give the Williams an opportunity to strike at us." Clifford shook his head as he responded.

Anthony also understood this fact. It was just that he was currently angry in such a way that he did not even want to think much about it. Had it not been for the fact that his father had prevented him from acting, he would have already made a move.

Anthony took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He understood that this situation was definitely not easy like that. They would definitely have to make preparations before making any move.

"Then, what about Jaden. Is he good enough to be able to protect Scarlet anymore? After all, with the Williams being like this, it is clear that they are definitely going to attack again. Should we consider adding another bodyguard?" Anthony asked after a moment of silence.

"It is a good idea what you are saying. But are you sure that there are many people that are as qualified as Jaden is? For him to be able to make sure that Scarlet is completely unharmed in that situation, it is clear that he is skilled.

But to be able to find a person like him, who has a clean background, and possesses the same capabilities, it is quite difficult. That is the reason why we decided to look for a bodyguard from small organizations, believing that the Williams will not be able to think that we will look for a bodyguard from there.

It is actually a good thing that we were able to find Jaden. This is pure luck. Otherwise, we would have definitely suffered a loss this time, considering that Scarlet would have been greatly injured today." Clifford responded.

Anthony thought about it, and thought that it made sense. After all, it was definitely difficult to be able to find a person like Jaden who was capable of dealing with a situation like the one that he had been in.

Even among the professional bodyguards that were extremely experienced, it was quite difficult for them to be able to handle that situation considering that the enemies were attacking from a distance.

"We can only have Jaden continue protecting Scarlet, while hoping that the Williams will not make a big move anytime soon. Otherwise, things are definitely going to get a little more complicated." Lynette stated.

She had been silent all this time, but Clifford understood that she was definitely among those that were furious about the issue. If an opportunity arises, he believed that Lynette would definitely not let the Williams go. The same could be applied to him.

At this moment, silence dominated the living room of the mansion. Then, about a minute later, Steven walked in. He possessed a solemn expression on his face.

After giving a slight bow, he said, "Master, I have investigated about the issue. Just like you had expected, the Williams are related to the issue. It is just that they used some kind of connection that is not that closely linked to them. So, if we take this issue to the police, there is no enough evidence to be able to sue them.

Additionally, the gangsters that had attacked have already been taken out of the police station. I have tried to investigate about their whereabouts, but I found out that they simply disappeared a little later on after they left the police station.

As for how they had been able to get out of the police station, it is simply because somebody came over and bailed them out. It would have been impossible to get them out of the police cells considering that those gangsters had attacked a member of the Johnsons, but it is definitely possible with the Williams getting involved."

Clifford remained silent after hearing that. Anthony on the other hand was already fuming. Of course, he was not happy about the fact that the perpetrators, the ones who had directly been involved in assaulting Scarlet had actually managed to get away.

But nevertheless, there was nothing that they could do. They had reacted a little late as compared to the Williams. This was a loss that they would have to suffer and endure for the time being.

"Forget about the issue for now. Just try to investigate all the movements that the Williams are making. Additionally, try to look deeply and find how this person that made the gangsters attack Scarlet is related to the main Williams family. We will have to know who it is that is in charge of attacking Scarlet specifically before we know how to handle him or her." Clifford responded after a moment of contemplation.

"Yes master." Steven responded. Then, after giving a bow, he turned around and left.

The living room was plunged into silence once again as everyone was thinking about the issue from their own perspectives. Nevertheless, each and every one of them was thinking of a solution.
