The Bodyguard System

[Deal with the group of gangsters and establish your authority. Reward, intermediate level combat skills.]

Jad had not expected that he was going to get another mission just like that. But looking at the contts of the mission, his heart could not help but skip a beat as he looked at Scarlet who was looking at him.

Could there be a relationship betwe Scarlet and the gangsters? After all, Scarlet had asked him to get out of the car so that they could meet with a person. But looking at the time, it was still five in the morning, though it was about to reach six.

Additionally, it was still dark outside. According to normal situations, as a lady, Scarlet was definitely not supposed to be moving a and meeting with strange people at such a time. But nevertheless, since he was her bodyguard, there was nothing that he could do other than to follow the instruction that she had giv.

Additionally, looking forward to the reward that was being offered by the system, Jad could not help but anticipate the attack.

Scarlet on the other hand did not know that Jad already knew about the plan that she was having. She had already communicated with Lucas. According to the plan, Lucas had already made all the arrangemts, and all that was required was for Scarlet to take Jad to the location.

Scarlet was not that afraid of gangsters as long as they did not attack her, many of them at the same time. With the combat skills that she possessed, she believed that she could deal with them.

But it was going to be completely differt for Jad. They had already known about the skills that he possessed considering that she had already informed Lucas about the skills that he possessed. And for that reason, they were already preparing for it. Additionally, it was going to be a sneak attack from the start, instead of a direct confrontation.

Just thinking of the fate that Jad was going to counter, Scarlet could not help but get excited. After all, she was embarrassed by Jad the previous day wh he never retaliated against her own attacks, and more than that, she was not capable of hitting him, and it seemed that the single punch that she had managed to land on him was only due to luck.

Jad followed behind Scarlet. They headed towards an alley. Despite the fact that a prestigious university was located in this area, alleys could always be found in this area. After all, not far away from the location of the university, several buildings were built in this area.

The hostels that the university studts used as their place of residce if they did not want to use the once inside the campus filled the area, and this was the main source of business in this part of the city.

The two of them walked for more than 30 minutes before they finally stopped in an alley. They had tak several times that were capable of confusing a person, but looking at Scarlet who was walking confidtly, it was clear that she knew this area quite well.

The momt that they stopped, Jad looked a and wondered, where the heck was the person that Scarlet had said that she was here to meet with.

Holding his own suspicions, he did not ask, but instead, he prepared himself for battle. It was very clear that this was the area that he was going to counter gangsters. Otherwise, he would have definitely not received a mission from the system asking him to defeat them at this momt.

Just as Jad was looking a, he suddly heard the whistling sound in the air. And without hesitation, he immediately dodged to the left.

Bang!

A big brick suddly landed on the g behind him, shattering into pieces. From this, it could be se that the strgth that was utilized in throwing that brick was definitely not something that a normal person could possess.

Jad furrowed his brows as he looked towards the direction of the source of the brick. At the same time, he approached Scarlet, just in case these people that were going to attack were not arranged by her.

Just th, another whistling sound reached his ears. Without hesitation, Jad shifted his body to the right while pulling scarlet with him. The momt that they moved, another brick wt past them.

At that momt, Jad suddly realized that they had actually be sured. And it seemed that the ones that were currtly attacking did not have the inttion of revealing themselves for the time being.

Scarlet on the other hand was completely dumbfounded. This was definitely against the plan that they were having previously. Initially, she was supposed to meet with Lucas here, before they made another arrangemt on where to take Jad so that he could be dealt with.

But now, they were actually being attacked. Additionally, from the trajectory of the brick that had be thrown over not long ago, had it not be for the fact that Jad moved her, she would have definitely be hit by the brick.

Not knowing what was going on, she became extremely cautious. At the same time, she remembered what her parts had informed her before. Could it be that the Williams were taking action, or the group of gangsters that had be hired by Lucas was not giv proper instructions?

Just as Scarlet was still thinking about what was going on, Jad possessed a solemn expression on his face. At this momt, three people appeared on each side of the alley. They were actually carrying a box that possessed several bricks that could be se ev from a distance, indicating that the boxes were filled to the brim.

The six looked like gangsters from the tattoos that they were having. They possessed crazy smiles on their faces as they looked at Jad and Scarlet.

"It is going to be a pity that we are going to disfigure that beautiful face. But there's nothing that we can do, considering that this is the job that we were giv." One of the gangsters stated.

"What do you care? It is not as if she is your wife or daughter. In any case, after we deal with these two, we are going to be paid well." Another one with a crooked nose snorted as he said those words. But ev th, there was a smile in the corner of his lips.

"All of you, why are you wasting so much time? We should deal with them as soon as possible and get out of here. Otherwise, if we delay, we don't know if somebody else is going to come over and disrupt the plan." Another one interved.

"That's right. But you have to make sure that she doesn't die. As for that other guy, it doesn't really matter, we can just kill him anyway." Another one conveyed.

Th without hesitation, each of the three picked up a brick from the box that they had already placed onto the g, while looking at Jad and Scarlet.

At this momt, Scarlet also suddly realized that there was something wrong with this group of gangsters. After all, from the looks of it, they were targeting her. Since that was the case, it implied that they were definitely not arranged by Lucas.

She understood that if the two of them continued staying in the same position, they would definitely be a living target for these six gangsters. But the distance betwe them and the gangsters was quite huge, almost 0 m. Before she arrived in front of them, she was definitely going to be stoned to death.

It might be true that they did not seem to be having the inttion of killing her, but nevertheless, being beat so badly by the stones that they were intding to throw over was definitely not something that she wanted to experice.

She might not be caring much about her appearance by applying makeup and so on, but nevertheless, she really cared about her natural appearance. She was a lady at the d of the day, so how could she not care about looking good?

Jad on the other hand did not say anything, but immediately understood that this group of goons was definitely arranged by the Williams. There was no evidce that proved that to be the case, but ev th, they were definitely the first suspect.

To say the truth, Jad had never expected that he was going to counter something like this on the first day of the job. Just like how Alex and Clifford had said it before, this job was extremely dangerous.

Had it be that Jad did not receive the beginner level combat skills, and his body had not be strgthed after he was healed, he would have definitely be waiting for a beating right now.

But it was completely differt at this point. Although it was going to be a little difficult for him to be able to handle these six at the same time while protecting Scarlet, but ev th, he believed that it was possible for him to be able to deal with them.

Just as Jad was contemplating on the method that he was going to utilize in order to deal with them, the six gangsters did not give them any more time and immediately decided to attack.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In just a momt, several rocks were thrown towards them at an incredible speed. The sound of the rocks cutting through the air as they approached them could be heard ev before the rocks arrived.

Jad did not make a move in a hurry, but instead, he observed the trajectory of the rocks. All of this happed in just a second. Th without giving Scarlet a chance of doing anything, he pushed her to the g.
