The Bodyguard System

She could not help but feel a shiver running down her spine. She looked towards the direction of the voice, and realized that the one who was speaking right now was none other than Scarlet. This lady had been silent all this while, and this was the first time that she was speaking.

For a moment there, Ruth was slightly intimidated. She already knew about the reputation that Scarlet possessed, and she knew that this girl was a hothead. So, mostly, it was better not to provoke her. But, why should she be afraid of her? It was not as if the background that Scarlet possessed could intimidate her.

Additionally, she did not believe that Scarlet was going to do anything against her. After all, her family was currently in trouble, and if Scarlet laid her hand on her, she believed that her father Philip would not let this matter rest.

So, she believed that no matter how many guts Scarlet possessed, she would not dare to attack her. With this renewed confidence, she looked at Scarlet with arrogance on her face, as if she was asking for a beating.

Angelo and Andrew on the other hand had a drastic change in their expressions. They did not believe that they had actually managed to attract the attention of Scarlet. Despite the fact that the leader of the Johnsons at this moment within this negotiation was none other than Anthony, still, they were completely afraid of Scarlet.

It might be true that this lady did not possess much influence in the business world, still, the notorious reputation that she possessed was threatening. This was not the first time that they were interacting, considering that they had already interacted several times.

Additionally, each and every one of them had suffered under her hands at some point in time. They had underestimated her, and in the end, they ended up receiving a beating.

As for the matter of the family getting involved for something like that, they did not believe that something like that was going to happen. After all, according to the adults, this was just the youngsters playing around.

Additionally, despite the fact that Scarlet had beat them up, they did not suffer injuries of a great magnitude. So, they could heal after just a few days, even without going to the hospital. So, that was the reason why they had been ignored at that time, and nobody had taken action against Scarlet.

And right now, Ruth had already provoked Scarlet. If this lady decided to take action, she would not care about the fact that they were currently inside Star Complex hotel.

She was a person who never cared about the consequences as long as a person irritated her. She would always make sure to vent her anger, whenever given a chance.

It was good that Ruth did not say anything else, other than simply staring at Scarlet. Otherwise, Angelo believed that Scarlet would have not hesitated to take action.

Not wanting the matter to escalate anymore, he immediately pulled Ruth and they left as fast as possible. Since the negotiation had already ended, there was no need for them to start another drama.

Ruth on the other hand was completely relentless. She was angry at the fact that Angelo was pulling her away. Additionally, did it seem like he was afraid of Scarlet? Was he really a man? Where was the pride that he possessed as the man?

How could he be scared of a young girl who was extremely younger than himself? At this moment, she immediately disdained her brother. The contempt in her heart increased only after she had seen that even Andrew seemed to be in the same situation as Angelo.

Back in the room, Anthony heaved a sigh of relief. Of course, he was relieved by the fact that Scarlet did not take action despite the provocation that she had received from Ruth.

Had she taken action at this moment, it would have been a little troublesome. After all, currently, they were not in their domain. Additionally, this was the Star Complex hotel, whose background was not something that even the Johnsons could easily provoke.

"Let's go. You should not cause trouble anymore. Otherwise, you are going to lump a little more trouble for our family, other than the Williams." Anthony stated as he got onto his feet.

Scarlet simply snorted. Then, she put away her phone, and rose from the seat. The three of them then proceeded to leave the hotel, before getting back to the underground parking lot.

As usual, Scarlet got into Ferrari f8 spider. On the other hand, Anthony got inside the BMW. Jaden was just about to follow into Scarlet's Ferrari when suddenly, Anthony called for him to join him in the BMW.

Jaden hesitated for a moment. After all, despite the fact that he was working for the Johnsons, he was Scarlet's bodyguard. So, he was supposed to be wherever she was, to ensure her security.

But after thinking much about it, he decided to join Anthony anyway. In any case, if there was something that was going to involve Scarlet, the system would give him a prompt and a mission about it, at least he hoped.

Scarlet was a little surprised when she saw that Jaden did not join her in the car. Nevertheless, she did not say anything, considering that it was Anthony that had called for him. It seemed that there was something that he wanted to talk to Jaden about.

To her, she did not care about it. Instead, she was simply a little excited about what she was going to receive later on. After all, she had not caused any trouble this time, and so, she believed that Clifford was going to give her the reward that he had promised.

An entire week of freedom. That was something that she had never been given for quite a long time. So, she was a little impatient to get back home, so that she could claim the reward that she wanted.

On the other side, the moment that Jaden got inside the BMW, Anthony immediately began driving, following behind Scarlet who had already left the parking lot. Silence dominated the vehicle for a while until they left the Star Complex hotel vicinity completely.

It was only then that Anthony looked at Jaden and said, "Jaden, I'm quite curious about something."

Jaden raised his brows as he looked at Anthony, wondering what this guy was curious about.

"You know, after we did a background check on you, we realized that you joined a certain organization. This organization is quiet reputable, and everybody that has ever joined that organization, came out with extraordinary skills and abilities." Anthony stated.

Jaden could not help but raise his brows a little. What the heck was this guy talking about? What organization did he join? As long as he could remember, he had never joined any organization.

Could it be that there was a mistake that had been made during the time that they were gathering information about him? It was also at this moment that Jaden believed that perhaps it was due to them believing that he had gone to this organization, that they had suddenly decided to keep him.

By deciding to keep him, Jaden was implying to the fact that the Johnsons had been involved with the issue concerning the old man. They had transferred him to the best hospital, and they were in charge of all the medical bills.

This was definitely not something that they would have done without a reason. Due to the abilities that he had displayed so far, it was clear that he was quite skilled. So, they continued to believe that Jaden was from a certain organization, and organization that Jaden did not know its name.

As Jaden contemplated on what organization Anthony was talking about, Anthony continued. "So far, you have displayed both combat capabilities and driving skills that are beyond the ordinary level.

What I am quite curious about is how many abilities do you really have. Do you have any more abilities that you have?" Anthony asked as he looked at Jaden.

Jaden was finally brought out of his thoughts by the question asked by Anthony. Nevertheless, he did not know what to respond this time. The abilities that he possessed had already been displayed.

Of course, he could not say that these were the only abilities he possessed. After all, as long as he continued to complete the missions, he would be rewarded with more skills and abilities.

Additionally, he could not say that he possessed other skills as well for the time being. After all, if he was asked what skills he possessed, he was not sure on what he was going to respond. After all, the rewards from the missions were always decided by the system.

Just as Jaden was contemplating, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

[The information about the host joining an organization is something that was changed by the system. This was the reward granted by the system to the host on the background editing.

This is just to make sure that the host does not seem suspicious with his abilities, despite the fact that he had never received any training.]
