The Bodyguard System

Second tiger seemed to have seen through Jaden's thoughts. To say the least, he was impressed. It was not only due to the courage that he possessed, but also due to his intelligence.

If Jaden had tried asking them to submit to the police simply because he was having him as a hostage, second tiger would have taken the risk. He could not allow himself to be arrested.

But now, even though he was not happy with having someone pointing a gun at his head, there was no need to take any drastic measures. After all, the aim had already been accomplished, as they had already gotten away from the police chase.

The van stopped in front of a building in the outskirts of the city. They had already moved far away from the city center and there were no cameras around here. As for the number of people here, it was extremely low.

"Okay, you guys can get down now. I will let you go now, but during our next encounter, that is if you are unlucky to meet me again in such a situation, I definitely won't be careless again." Second tiger stated after the car came to a halt.

Jaden looked around cautiously. He was contemplating on the words said by second tiger. He could feel the sincerity in his voice, and was inclined towards believing that he was willing to let them go.

But when he thought about it, there was no any existing grudge between them, right? So, second tiger should not be too reluctant to release them.

Despite believing what second tiger had said, Jaden was still cautious. He looked at Scarlet and Sylvia. The two of them immediately got up from the seat, still with guns pointed at their heads, and approached Jaden.

Jaden on the other hand began moving out of the car with second tiger still within his hold. Second tiger did not resist and even asked his men to put away their weapons.

Even though the rest of the group was hesitant, they still stopped pointing the guns at Jaden and the two ladies. Nevertheless, they still held the guns in their hands, ready to take action when needed.

The group finally alighted from the van. Then, Jaden asked the two ladies to retreat. It was only after they had disappeared at a bend that Jaden finally released second tiger.

Second tiger did not do anything when he was released. Instead, he turned around and looked at Jaden with a scrutinizing gaze. After looking at him for a while, he said, "If you feel like joining me, you can come and look for me here. With your skills, you can get quite some benefits."

Jaden did not respond and neither did he consider the offer that he had been given by second tiger. Instead, he simply began retreating. He did not return the gun, instead, he left with it.

After realizing that nobody was taking action against him, Jaden was relieved. He disappeared in the same bend as the one that the two ladies had.

Second tiger on the other hand looked at the direction that Jaden had disappeared in and fell into a moment of thought. After a while, he looked at his men and instructed no one in particular, "Investigate about that young man. I want to know everything about him.

From his fast speed, he was obviously quite skilled in combat. It was not just due to luck that he was able to take the gun from him. He was a veteran when it came to fights, and not just anybody could do that to him, even though he was a bit careless.

If he could have that guy join the gang, then the strength of the gang would increase, even if it was just by a small bit.

….

Jaden found that Scarlet and Sylvia were waiting for him. They were worried about him, so, they did not leave. And when they saw him, they were immediately relieved.

"Let's leave this area first. We will talk after we get back to the residence." Jaden stated as he looked around cautiously.

They were currently in an area that was mainly occupied by gangsters. So, it was not safe for the two ladies to be here, especially for Scarlet who was very important in the completion of the mission.

The two nodded and followed Jaden to leave. They did not have the car that they had used to go to the bank as it was left there. So, they had to get a cab to leave.

"Should I call for a cab?" Sylvia asked as she took out her phone. Perhaps due to luck, none of the phones in their possession rang while they were in the van. Otherwise, it was not impossible for them to be confiscated. Maybe the gangsters were a little reckless that they forgot to take the phones away.

"It will take quite some time for the cab to get here. I will lead the way to where we will get a car to leave here." Jaden responded after a moment of thought.

Sylvia nodded and followed Jaden with Scarlet. They walked for about ten minutes before they arrived at an area where there were 3 cabs parked.

When the drivers saw them, they immediately rushed towards them, wanting to take them to their destination. Just from the way that the group was dressed, it was obvious that they were quite rich.

Jaden looked at the driver that had carried him and the old man previously. He was the one that had told him to come and find him here.

When the cab driver saw him, he was ecstatic. And when he was selected to drive them, he was even more happy.

The two ladies raised their brows when they saw the interaction between Jaden and the driver. Still, they got into the backseats while Jaden took the passenger's seat before the car drove off.

When they arrived at the Johnson's residence, Jaden immediately paid the fare. Then, the three of them headed straight for the residence.

The moment that those in charge of security saw them, they could not help but be surprised. Of course, the information about the incident at the bank had already reached the ears of the Johnsons.

It was just that Clifford did not dare to call the two of them, as he had already been informed that two ladies and one young man, other than the branch manager, had been taken as hostages.

He could not risk anything, and so, he prohibited anybody from calling any of them. Instead, he did not spare any effort trying to communicate with the police so that they could rescue them.

But he could not just depend on the police, instead, he sent a special team to go and deal with the issue. It was just that by the time that the special team arrived, this group of gangsters has had already left.

This was something that was making Clifford and the rest of the family completely restless. They did not know about the condition that Sylvia and Scarlet were currently in, and so, it was impossible for them to be able to calm down.

But they could not help but be surprised the moment that they saw the three of them coming over. Additionally, they looked completely unharmed.

Sylvia immediately went ahead and explained what had happened. And upon hearing it, Clifford could not help but look at Jaden. He did not comment on anything, but the look of gratitude was present in his eyes.

It might be Jaden's duty to ensure the safety of his daughter, but the dangers that his daughter was experiencing was way above what Jaden was being paid for. Jaden did not have a gun during the time that he was out protecting Scarlet, which was something that he had to change.

After all, it was going to be difficult for him to be able to deal with armed enemies in the future. From the incident today, he had no choice but to arm Jaden.

Jaden on the other hand did not care much about what happened the next. Instead, he simply focused on going back to his room, as the system had already given the prompt, indicating that the mission had already been completed.

Clifford did not try to stop Jaden, as there was nothing for him to say for the time being. So, he watched as Jaden left, before shifting his attention back to his daughter and Sylvia.

"Things are getting a little more complicated. We will have to make sure that the security of the two of you is improved by several levels. And then, Sylvia, you will have to give me a feedback on the negotiation with the bank." Clifford stated with a solemn expression on his face.

At this moment, he was facing a lot of things. Especially for Scarlet, she was facing a lot of danger. As a parent, he could only try as much as possible to ensure that Scarlet would no longer face those dangers.

And due to that, he decided that no matter what, he would have to complete the battle with the Williams as fast as possible. It was only by dealing with the Williams that the dangers that Scarlet was facing would be reduced.

"The negotiation did not go well. That guy refused completely…" Sylvia went ahead and explained everything that had happened.

And upon hearing Edward's actions, Clifford could not help but be furious. It might be true that the reputation of the Johnsons family was not as much as Vyon bank's, but that did not imply that just anybody within the bank could step on the Johnsons.

"Good. We will deal with him, immediately after I deal with the Williams." Clifford stated as he clenched his fists. The anger in his eyes could be seen clearly, and the pressure that he was emitting made those around him feel a little uncomfortable.
