The Bodyguard System

"You told me that you wanted to deal with Jaden. You asked me that if you failed to do that personally, I should help you with that. And that is just what I am doing." Lucas responded confidently.

Scarlet expression shifted the moment that she heard that. What Lucas had said was the truth, and he was not lying. But that was something that she had said at the start, when Jaden had just began his duty as a bodyguard.

She looked at Jaden who was standing at the side, hoping that he was not angry. She was relieved the moment that she saw that Jaden did not react to what Lucas had said.

At the same time, she could not help but get a little dissatisfied. After all, it would have been better if Jaden had shown his emotions, and that way, she would be able to know what he was thinking at this moment.

Nonetheless, she decided not to focus on that matter for the time being. In any case, she realized that she was to blame after all. When she had changed her mind about dealing with Jaden, she did not inform Lucas about it.

But that was not enough for Lucas to do what he had done. After all, Lucas was a smart person, and so, he was capable of seeing that the interaction between her and Jaden had changed.

The relationship between the two of them had grown quite closer, and so, since she was no longer pursuing the matter about Lucas looking for a way to deal with Jaden, he was supposed to stop.

But of course, Scarlet understood that this was going to be an impossibility for Lucas. She knew about how he wanted her, and so, it was going to be impossible for him to give up on making sure that Jaden was out of the picture, considering that the relationship between the two of them was getting better.

"Is that the case? Why don't you tell me that you did what you did because you felt that Jaden is a threat to you. Do you think that if you eliminate Jaden, I will be with you?

I will tell you this, no matter what, the two of us can never be together. It is not that you are bad, it is just that you are weak. Additionally, I have no interest in getting in a relationship anytime soon." Scarlet stated harshly.

Lucas was dumbfounded upon hearing Scarlet's words. He had not expected that she was going to be so direct in this matter. Of course, he had realized that Scarlet was not interested in getting in a relationship, and that was the reason why he was just waiting at the side, waiting for the moment that she would be interested.

But now, Scarlet had said that she was not only interested in relationships, but she was not even interested in him. That implied that even if she was interested with the matter related to relationships, she would definitely not consider him.

Lucas' eyes suddenly turned red. He has done so many things, just to make sure that he was inside Scarlet's heart. But from the looks of it, all his efforts were for nothing.

And all of this was simply because of Jaden. He immediately glared at Jaden, but he did not take action at all. Despite being angry at this moment, he did not lose his mind. He was quite smart to understand that he was not capable of dealing with Jaden when it came to direct combat.

But that did not imply that he was not capable of dealing with Jaden. Jaden was just a bodyguard, and even though Scarlet was speaking up for him, that was not enough for the Johnson family to take care of Jaden, to the extent that they would pay much attention to everything related to him.

So, in his mind, Lucas had already decided that he had to look for a way to eliminate Jaden. This time, he did not care about what Scarlet was going to think, or what Scarlet was going to do later on, but to him, he had to remove this obstacle first.

Then, he would begin dealing with Scarlet later on. He believed that he would be able to win Scarlet over. It was not impossible, and even if she refused, he could simply use her family in order to win her over, even though it was going to be difficult.

"Today, I wanted to meet you because I want to tell you that you have to stop thinking about harming Jaden. If I get any information that you are planning anything against Jaden, it will be the same as going against me.

And believe me, you will not be happy with the consequences of going against me. I don't think I have to remind you about the consequences, because you know me quite well." Scarlet stated, completely ignoring the furious expression on Lucas's face.

Immediately after saying those words, she turned around, and headed towards the car. When Lucas noticed that she was leaving, he immediately stretched his hand, intending to grab Scarlet's hand and prevent her from leaving.

But he had just done that, when he regretted. The moment that his hand almost came into contact with Scarlet, Scarlet reacted immediately. She retracted her hand at a fast speed, and at the same time, she kicked towards Lucas.

Bam!

Lucas suddenly fell onto the ground upon being attacked by Scarlet. Scarlet did not hold back when she was attacking, and so, Lucas did not have a chance of resisting at all.

Lucas felt the pain in his chest from the kick. He held his chest as he laid on the ground, while looking at the sky. Other than frustration, there was anger. In his heart, he swore that he would repay this debt in the future.

After dealing with Lucas, Scarlet did not look back anymore. Instead, she went and sat inside the car, in the driver's seat. She watched as Jaden approached Lucas.

Lucas who had thought that everything had ended with Scarlet leaving, he was surprised when he saw Jaden's figure looming above him.

With a frown on his face, he asked, "What do you want? You better stop looking at me, or I will get somebody to gauge those eyes out of your eye sockets."

Jaden did not pay attention to Lucas' threat. Instead, he simply took action, kicking towards Lucas's leg.

Bam!

The kick immediately connected with Lucas's thigh. This immediately made Lucas who had experienced a lot of pain to scream. At the same time, he looked at Jaden with horror in his eyes, together with disbelief.

What the heck was happening here? Why was Jaden taking action against him? Did this guy really believe that the Johnsons were going to protect him if he targeted him? He was just a bodyguard, and he did not hold a big position within the hearts of the Johnson.

While he thought about that, he was still trying to get up from the ground, while enduring the pain. But he had just managed to barely stand up, when Jaden attacked again.

This time, Jaden aimed for the knee. He did not hold back at all this time, and so, the speed and the power of the kick was not something that Lucas could react to.

Bang! Crack!

The kick connected, and the crisp sound of a bone being broken could be heard in the air. This was something that even Scarlet who was inside the car heard It. She suddenly felt goosebumps all over her skin as she looked at Lucas who had already collapsed onto the ground.

"Aaaargh!"

Lucas screamed at the top of his lungs. The pain was excruciating. His knee cap had been crushed by Jaden's attack. At the same time, the joint at the knee was broken, and so, a few bones had managed to protrude on the skin, as they have been broken.

Lucas had already collapsed onto the ground, while screaming, trying to clutch at his broken leg. Still, he did not dare to do that, as he was afraid that the pain would only intensify the moment that he touched the area that had been broken.

Jaden did not have much of a reaction when he broke Lucas's leg. Instead, he simply looked at the guy that was on the ground and said, "That is the punishment that I am going to give you right now for attempting to kill me. Still, keep in mind, this is not going to be the last."

Immediately after saying those words, Jaden turned around and headed towards Scarlet's car. Yes, he was planning more than just this for Lucas.

This guy had tried to kill him, and it was obvious that if this guy continued living, he would try again to take Jaden's life. Of course, since he failed this time, he would use another method that was extreme as compared to this one.

Jaden was not willing to give this guy a chance. Nonetheless, he could not simply kill this guy. The previous time that he killed somebody, the Johnson family managed to cover it up for him.

Additionally, it was a good thing that the one that had sent that guy over had not followed up the issue. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jaden to be able to get out of that issue unscathed.

Right now, Jaden had decided that he would have to look for a good chance in order to take this guy out of commission. No matter what, he had to kill Lucas.

He was a petty person. Since somebody had tried to kill him, Jaden would make sure that the other party died. After all, if he did not possess enough skills, it was clear that he would have ended up dying, considering that he did not have the intention of joining second tiger and his gang.

Jaden had just gotten inside the car when suddenly, his phone rang. Jaden squinted his eyes as he looked at the phone, and the unfamiliar caller.

After hesitating for a moment, Jaden received the call. Immediately, a deep masculine voice came from the other end, "Come to the location that I will be sending to you in the next 30 minutes, or he dies."
