8.33% The Bodyguard System / Chapter 35: Teach Me

Capítulo 35: Teach Me

Ruben on the other hand had been in a worse mood. Previously, he had thought that with the Williams being able to deal with the majority of the bodyguard companies, it was going to be impossible for the Johnsons to be able to hire a bodyguard for Scarlet.

But they had not expected that somehow, they had actually managed to get somebody. Additionally, this person that they had gotten was extremely skilled. The worst part of it was the fact that the Williams did not possess information about this new bodyguard.

It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere with all the skills that he possessed. It was due to this bodyguard that had been hired by the Johnsons that the plan that he was having before had been in vain.

Due to the first failure, his brother Philip had gotten an opportunity to reprimand him. After all, by failing to carry out the task, it was clear that the Johnsons would be more vigilant about any form of attack from the Williams.

But even then, although they had failed the first time, Ruben did not believe that they were going to fail the second time. Previously, they did not possess information about this new bodyguard. But now, they had already carried out research about this guy.

It turned out that he was just a normal person, and somehow, he had wanted to join a bodyguard organization. That was how he went and joined the Assured Bodyguard Association, only to be given a mission to protect Scarlet.

According to the investigation that he had carried out, he understood that Jaden was an orphan. But even then, there was no any part of the information that stated about Jaden being trained.

According to the information, it seemed that he had been surviving all this while, so, how was it possible that he possessed skills to be able to resist the attacks that had been launched at that time by six gangsters at the same time?

Although he found it to be doubtful, or perhaps those gangsters had just been giving false information in order to be able to save themselves, but nevertheless, he had to take the matter seriously.

He could not allow any other failure. Otherwise, Philip was definitely going to take advantage of that and suppress him. But that was not something that he was going to allow to come true.

He took out his phone, dialed a certain number, before making a call. After just a few rings, the call was picked on the other end.

"I want you to eliminate Jaden. Simply focus on Jaden. After eliminating him, make sure that all the traces about you disappear." Ruben stated. Immediately after that, he hung up.

'Okay, let's see how you are going to handle this one now.' Ruben thought to himself with a malicious smile on his face.

….

Jaden on the other hand did not know what had been happening in the Williams and the Johnsons. But nevertheless, he did not care, considering that even if he knew, it was not as if he was going to change anything.

For the rest of the day, he followed Scarlet. The lady kept on moving within the campus, without any destination in mind. It was as if she was just moving around for fun.

For a moment, Jaden could not help but wonder if she could not get tired even after moving all this time. He was quite curious about why she was doing that, but of course, he did not ask.

And after going around for more than 3 hours, Scarlet finally went to the campus and continued to eat. It was already a little past lunchtime, and many people had already left the canteen.

After getting to the canteen, Scarlet went ahead and ordered a drink. Jaden on the other hand was extremely hungry. So, using the identity card that he had been given by Steven, he ordered a simple meal consisting of rice and beef stew.

Understanding that Scarlet might leave at any moment, Jaden ate his food as fast as possible. He did not want Scarlet to leave before he ate, otherwise, he would have to leave his food behind.

It was a good thing that until he finished eating, Scarlet was still within the canteen. It was as if she was deep in thought, thinking about something. Jaden was not sure about what she was thinking, but even then, after finishing his meal, he continued sitting there, waiting for Scarlet.

After about 10 minutes, Scarlet finally moved. She looked towards Jaden's direction, before she finally stood up and left the canteen. Jaden too stood, and followed behind her as they left the canteen.

The moment that they walked out of the canteen, Scarlet stopped and turned around to face Jaden. Then, she asked, "Why are you so persistent in following me around? We are in campus, and it is definitely impossible for anybody to do anything to me right now. So, why don't you follow me around after we get out of the campus?"

All this time, by moving around aimlessly, she had been trying to make sure that Jaden gave up on following her. But the guy kept on following her everywhere that she went other than the restroom.

It was as if he would never get tired of following her around. That was something that irritated her. Although he kept his distance, and it was quite difficult for a person to be able to realize that he was following her, if they observed them a few times and realized that every time that Scarlet appeared, Jaden would also be around, they would definitely realize that he was always following her.

"I'm sorry but I cannot do that. It is not impossible for enemies to be within the campus. So, to ensure your security, I will have to be present wherever you are. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, then I will have failed in my role as a bodyguard." Jaden shrugged his shoulder as he responded.

Scarlet was obviously displeased, but there was nothing that she could do about it. After all, she had already been told by her parents that Jaden would be around her all the time to ensure her security.

The attack in the alleyway was enough to be able to tell her that security was currently important. It was clear that the Williams were kind of getting impatient, and so, they will definitely be launching more attacks soon.

This was the reason why Jaden was around her. But of course, this was something that denied her the freedom that she possessed in the past. How could she be free to do anything that she wanted with somebody observing her every now and again?

At this moment, she hoped that Jaden would be defeated by Alfie, but at the same time, she hoped that Alfie would be defeated by Jaden. The reason behind that was simply because she wanted Jaden to leave, but at the same time, she wanted to reclaim the position that she previously held, as a leader within the campus.

It might be true that she was still holding the position of the president of the taekwondo club, but even then, with the defeat that she had experienced, he definitely did not possess the pride of holding the position anymore.

Scarlet thought about it for a moment before she finally came up with an idea. With shining eyes, she looked at Jaden and asked, "If I ask you to train me, will you do that? I want to be able to deal with Alfie. Something like that should be simple for you, right?"

This was just an impromptu idea that she had gotten, completely different from the plan that she had been having before. Right now, if there was an opportunity for her to be able to handle Alfie by herself, she would definitely take it.

Jaden on the other hand was surprised, not expecting that Scarlet was going to ask for something like that. According to how he knew her, she was a person with pride, and was extremely arrogant at some times.

So, it was completely unexpected for her to be able to ask him to train her, despite the fact that he was currently a subordinate. But nevertheless, he was able to regain his composure quite quickly.

But just as he was about to say something, Scarlet spoke first. "You don't have to think much about it. I just want you to teach me a method that I can utilize in order to be able to deal with Alfie."

Jaden thought about it, and thought that it was definitely not a bad idea. Of course, he was not intending to fight with Alfie at all. It would be good if Scarlet was the one that handled the issue by herself.

At the same time, the stronger she was, the easier the task of guarding her would be. And so, he accepted to train her. But of course, it was only going to be partial, and the moment that he dealt with Alfie, that was going to be the end of it.

Scarlet was a little excited after Jaden consented. She did not hesitate to lead the way towards the gym once again. She did not care if there was going to be a person there, but nevertheless, she had to train right now.

Jaden had not expected that Scarlett was going to be this impatient. But nevertheless, he simply went with the flow, and followed her towards the gym.

And to say the truth, if there was actually another option for him to take the job of being a bodyguard to guard another person who was reasonable, he would definitely take it. But right now, this was the only one that was available, and the payment was quite good as well.


Capítulo 36: Stirring Up the Forum

The moment that they got back into the same gym that they had been in before, they found few people inside. Of course, it was not Harry and his group, nor was it Lucas and his group.

The gym was available to all the students within the campus. So, it was not impossible to find people inside. The reason why the population was so low at the moment was simply because it was afternoon, and the sun was burning hot.

So, only a few people would come to the gym at this moment. The majority of them would always come here early in the morning, or in the evening. That was the best time for them to train within the gym.

The two of them completely ignored the presence of the other people, but the same could not be said about them ignoring Scarlet. That was especially so the moment that they realized that there was an unfamiliar person that was following behind Scarlet.

In this campus, everybody knew about Scarlet. She was extremely popular, not only due to the sports car that she possessed, but due to how stubborn she was. She was a girl that was feared by many boys within the campus, although they admired her.

At the end of the day, although she was kind of scary, she was still a beauty. And so, there was a large number of boys that liked her. But even then, they did not try to approach her at all. First of all, her personality was extremely explosive in such a way that in case they approached, they would definitely suffer.

There was a certain boy who did not know about it, and decided to make a move on her, trying to seduce her to become his girlfriend. But the guy had just begun talking about how beautiful she was looking, when he was suddenly punched in the face.

The poor guy's nose broke and he began bleeding. Immediately after being hit by Scarlet, he was told off, with Scarlet saying that she was not into weak boys. If he wanted to be with her, he had to be strong enough.

The boy left the area, with the intention of training. But only a few days later, the guy dropped out of campus. Not many people knew about it, but the few who knew about the reason behind it would not help but feel a chill running down their spines.

They understood that a person had made a move on that guy, behind the scenes. Of course, it was none other than Lucas. How could he allow another person to seduce the woman that he was obsessed with?

Due to the deterrence of the strength that Scarlet possessed together with her wealth, there was also the deterrence that was brought by Lucas. So, even if they thought that Scarlet was beautiful, none of them was brave enough to be able to say that out loud. Otherwise, they would definitely end up suffering.

And, this was the first time that they were seeing an unfamiliar person following behind Scarlet. The distance between them was not that big, and it was clear that this guy was following Scarlet.

At this moment, they could not help but feel pity for him. After all, the moment that Lucas got information about this matter, he was definitely going to act against this guy.

Jaden did not care about the gazes that he was receiving. Instead, after the two of them got inside the ring, he began instructing Scarlet. He had watched the battle between Scarlet and Alfie, and so, he quite understood Alfie, though he understood that Alfie had been holding back.

"In that fight between the two of you, that guy was holding back by quite a margin. I'm not sure how much he was holding back, but even then, he was still holding back." Jaden began.

The moment that he said those words, Scarlet's expression shifted. There was clear indication of anger on her face together with humiliation. "How dare he fight with me while holding back? That is preposterous!" Scarlet stated with the veins popping on her face.

Jaden on the other hand could not help but feel helpless after hearing what Scarlet was saying. If the guy was holding back and he was able to defeat you, what would happen if he went all out?

It was clear that you would have been defeated in just a few moves, and with your pride, you would definitely feel humiliated, more than you feel right now, right?

Nonetheless, Jaden did not say that out loud. Instead, he patiently waited until Scarlet calmed down. It was then that he finally continued.

Having observed Alfie, he understood the guys fighting technique. Due to the fact that he himself possessed the intermediate combat skills, it was quite easy for him to be able to understand Alfie's fighting style.

And so, he was able to easily spot out the weaknesses that could be exploited in order to be able to easily defeat Alfie.

For example, Alfie was extremely slow when attacking. But even then, he was using explosive strength with each attack. And so, it was definitely going to be impossible for him to be able to retract his fist so fast after launching it.

But of course, to cover this point of weakness, he usually used both of his fists in attacking, making sure that he left no window for the opponent to attack. In order to handle this situation, Scarlet would have to make sure that she dodged the attacks.

But of course, just using speed was not enough to be able to deal with Alfie. Instead, she would have to read his movements. For example, before throwing each punch, there would be a twist of Alfie's shoulder to the side.

That was enough to be able to indicate that he was going to attack using that hand. So, all that Scarlet would have to do was to move towards the hand that Alfie would use to attack. And immediately after dodging it, she had to attack his body from that direction.

It was going to be difficult for Alfie to be able to react in that situation, or to use his other hand to attack, considering that he would have to turn his body in order to be able to attack. But of course, since his speed was lower as compared to the one that Scarlet possessed, Scarlet should definitely take advantage of that.

Jaden went ahead and give a few more weaknesses that Scarlet was supposed to take advantage of. But of course, it was going to be impossible for Scarlet to be able to fight against Alfie just like that. So, she had to have a practical lesson.

In the end, Jaden decided to imitate Alfie's fighting style, so that he could give Scarlet a chance of trying out the strategy before getting involved in a fight with Alfie.

The scene of the two engaging in a conversation and sparring with each other fell into the eyes of the group of people within the gym. They could not help but be impressed by this guy.

He was able to easily communicate with Scarlet, and more than that, he was even fighting with her. They did not hear what it was that they were talking about, considering that they were talking in low voices.

Additionally, the group did not try to approach the ring in order to listen to the conversation between the two of them. Each and every one of them was extremely afraid of Scarlet and Lucas.

But even then, they thought that there had to be something that Jaden had done. Nevertheless, looking at the way that the two of them were fighting, it looked kind of romantic, didn't it?

From the way that they could observe it, it was clear that Jaden was kind of offering training to Scarlet. This was supposed to be a good thing, but what did Scarlet say? She would only get together with a person who was stronger than herself.

Did that imply that she was willing to get together with this guy? After all, he was stronger than her to be able to offer pointers to her, right? But then again, would Lucas accept that? Until today, Scarlet and Lucas had always been considered as a couple, even though they had not said anything about it.

Immediately, one of them gathered courage and snapped a picture of the two in the ring. Then, he went into the university forum and posted about what was happening here.

The title was extremely attractive. {SCARLET IS WITH A GUY. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM?}

While posting, the guy did not try to make any assumption of the relationship between the two of them. Otherwise, in case he was wrong about it, he would end up suffering. Of course, the thing that attracted the attention of the majority of the people that surfed through the university forum was the name Scarlet.

Scarlet was extremely popular within the campus, and so, any topic related to her would definitely attract a huge attention. Immediately, many people viewed the post, and they could not help but get curious about the relationship between the two people.

They could see that the two of them were fighting with each other, but from the expressions on their faces, it did not seem like they were having enmity with each other.

At that moment, comments flew all over, with many people making assumptions about the relationship between the two of them. At the same time, others could not help but get curious about where Lucas was at the moment.

Of course, a large group of people immediately headed towards the gym, with the intention of verifying with their own eyes that the information that they had received in the forum was actually true. If it was, they would definitely wait to watch a good show that would arise.
