The Bodyguard System

Could it be that it could only work once? Currently, it could be said that Jaden was exploiting the system. And for that reason, he had been hoping that the system would give him a mission, after he waited for a while.

But now, it seems that things were not going to go the way that he wanted. Could it be that he would have to take action without receiving anything in the end?

Just as he was hesitating, Scarlet on the other hand was completely overwhelmed. She was forced to retreat several times as she dodged the attacks, but she did not have a chance of counter attacking again.

As for the gangsters, they looked at Jaden from time to time. The leader of the group could not help but be shocked by Scarlet's words. Could it be that she believed that Jaden had the capability of dealing with them?

Additionally, she was willing to pay $10,000? Wasn't that too much? After all, it was just dealing with a small group of gangsters. But when he thought much about it, it was definitely impossible for a person to be able to deal with them.

Not to mention that the other party was only one person, they themselves were kind of veterans when it came to street fights. Despite his young age, he had been involved in these kind of fights since he was young. So, it could be said that he was also quite experienced in this field, and it was due to his brilliance that he was offered the position that he currently held.

Nevertheless, he decided to dismiss that thought from his mind, the moment that he realized that even after being offered $10,000, Jaden did not take action. It was clear that he was not sure that he could handle all of them at the same time.

Jaden on the other hand, upon realizing that the system would not give him a mission, he decided to take action nevertheless. At the end of the day, other than just receiving things from the system in the form of rewards from completing the missions, he had also made a promise to Anthony that he would protect Scarlet.

And due to that reason, he had to make sure that he protected her, at least during the time that he was her bodyguard. In case there was a chance in the future, and he was no longer her bodyguard, her safety would no longer be his business.

So, Jaden immediately took action. He rushed forward at an incredible speed, and caught one of the gangsters that was just about to rush towards Scarlet, after standing from the ground where he had been beaten down by Scarlet.

By grabbing the collar of the other party's shirt, Jaden pulled hard. Then using his full strength, his slammed the guy onto the ground.

Bang!

Had it not been that they were currently fighting in an area with a pavement, a cloud of dust would have definitely been raised into the air.

As for the guy who had collapsed into the ground, he immediately felt that his spinal cord, near the waist area was injured. For a moment, he could not feel his legs anymore. At the same time, since he had hit the ground hard, even his upper back bones had been fractured.

It could be said that Jaden had been ruthless this time. But nevertheless, what was expected from him? The other party was attacking using weapons, clearly indicating that if they managed to attack Scarlet, they would definitely hurt her.

Jaden had already decided to replicate the same thing. So, he was not holding back that much, despite making sure that he would not kill anybody. Even though the other party seemed to be intent in injuring Scarlet, they did not show any form of killing intention.

Bang! Bang!

Jaden's presence was immediately made known to the rest of the gangsters when a group of gangsters began collapsing onto the ground one after the other, as long as Jaden passed by. Immediately, a few of the gangsters rushed towards Jaden, trying to stop him.

But with Jaden's momentum, they could not do it at all. Jaden was like a fierce tiger, charging into a crowd of sheep. No matter how much they struggled, they could not retaliate against Jaden at all.

And in just a few minutes, a large group of the gangsters had already been knocked onto the ground. Additionally, with each and every attack that Jaden launched, a gangster would be taken down. Moreover, due to Jaden's ruthlessness, nobody that was knocked onto the ground was capable of getting up again.

Scarlet on the other hand was immediately relieved after Jaden took action. The pressure that she was undergoing was immediately reduced, and despite being a little tired, she was able to handle the small group of gangsters that was still attacking her.

The majority of the gangsters had gone to deal with Jaden, after realizing that he was the real threat here. So, it was quite easy for her to be able to handle the remainder of the gangsters, which numbered only to six.

And learning from Jaden, she also decided not to hold back at all. So, in just about 3 minutes, she had managed to take down the three of them, in such a way that they could no longer get up.

It could be said that In just 5 minutes or so after Jaden took action, the entire crowd of gangsters that numbered up to around 40 had already been taken care of.

The only one that was remaining was none other than the leader of the group, who looked at Jaden and Scarlet with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Of course, he could not believe what he was seeing.

Initially, after realizing that Jaden had taken action, he did not think much about it. He just thought that perhaps Jaden was afraid, that he would be blamed if Scarlet was injured. So, he decided to take action, despite knowing that he was going to end up being beaten up.

But when Jaden took down about five people in less than a minute, he immediately realized that there was something wrong. And, he immediately wanted to join the fray, and personally deal with Jaden.

But he had just taken a few steps forward when he suddenly realized that it was going to be a bad idea if he did that. From the way that Jaden was fighting, his movements were extremely fluid, completely different from the rough way that the group was fighting.

From this, he could already infer that Jaden was an expert when it came to fighting. That implied that if the entire group could not deal with Jaden, then he was not enough to be able to make any difference in the fight.

So, he decided to stay away from the fight, just in case. But he was completely flabbergasted the moment that Jaden managed to deal with the rest of the group of gangsters in less than 10 minutes.

Of course, the fight here had already attracted a large group of people again. At the same time, the employees together with Christine had already come out, and they were also amazed by what was going on.

That was especially so for Christine, when she looked at Jaden. Previously, she had not seen Jaden taking action, and was busy with other things, and did not even go to see the surveillance recording of the fight.

But now, when she saw him in action, she immediately understood the reason why Scarlet accepted Jaden as a bodyguard. With his skills, he was definitely way above Scarlet.

Additionally, through careful observation, she realized that there was some kind of similarity between the way that Jaden fought and how Scarlet fought. Even though the similarity was not that obvious, she was able to pick it up due to how keen she was.

For a moment there, she wanted to convince Jaden to become her bodyguard. With a bodyguard with such incredible skills, she would not have to fear about something like this happening to her again.

But when she thought about Scarlet, she believed that she would definitely not be able to convince Jaden to join her. It was not just about Scarlet, but it was also related to her background.

A person like Jaden who possessed such incredible skills, it was obvious that he received quite a high salary. So, it was normal that she would not be able to compete against the Johnsons, when it came to securing the services of a person like him.

Jaden did not know what Christine was thinking about, and instead, he looked at the leader of the group. This time, he was irritated. It was not due to this group attacking, but instead, it was due to the fact that he had not received a system prompt for a mission.

It could be said that other than $10,000, he had not gotten anything else. Nevertheless, getting $10,000 while completing his duty as a bodyguard was not that much, right?

Jaden was just about to speak when suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of him.
