The Bodyguard System

"Well, well, well, look who is here. I thought that you had already chicked out after hearing about the beating that we gave your group. But who thought that you would actually come?" A young man with a conceited look took a step forward as he said while looking at Scarlet.

There was a hint of arrogance betwe his brows, with a smirk etched on his lips. He possessed long black hair that was tied behind his back, and a gray eyes. He possessed a medium body stature with well defined muscles.

He was currtly wearing a black tracksuit with strips and a pair of sneakers. It seemed that he was the leader of the group behind him, considering that wh he spoke, nobody else spoke later on.

But ev th, the grins that could be se on their faces indicated that they also thought the same thing about Scarlet and her group, just like that young man.

Scarlet was obviously infuriated by what the young man had said. But ev th, she did not say anything other than a simple snort.

Although she did not say anything, the same could not be said about Lucas. How could he just observe from the side as somebody spoke rubbish about his crush?

"F*ck! What do you know? You cannot ev beat me, but you are here chattering about. Had it not be for that guy behind you, I would have already crushed you by myself!" Lucas shouted as he pointed his index finger towards the young man.

"What? This is a gang fight. Now, tell me, why should I stop a member of my gang from fighting against you? Everything is fair and square." The young man simply shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

"What fair and square rubbish are you talking about? Harry, if you have any guts, why don't you come and face me in a one-on-one fight?" Lucas said with anger clear in his voice. At the same time, he began rolling the sleeves of his shirt, only to realize that he was currtly wearing a short sleeved t-shirt.

"I don't really want to gage in a brawl with a guy like you. In any case, we are here for a rematch just as you had requested. So, why don't we get straight to the business? And oh, I see that you have already gott someone on your side as well." Harry stated as he looked towards Jad who was standing not far away from the group.

Everybody looked towards Jad, and a few of them wanted to say that Jad was not part of their group. But before they could ev say those was out, Lucas beat them to it.

"You don't have to worry about him. The focus today is a rematch. So, since you are so eager to get beat, why don't we start?" Lucas stated. It was clear that he was intding to fight with this young man. No matter what, he had to make sure that he beat up Harry. Otherwise, this guy would keep on spouting nonsse.

Harry understood that it was definitely impossible for him to be able to beat Lucas. It might be true that Lucas was not that much formidable, but ev th, he was definitely a little stronger than himself. And if the two of them fought, it was obvious that he was the one that was going to lose, though not that badly.

But in this situation, it was better for him not to lose. Otherwise, if he lost, this was definitely going to damage the reputation of his group. That was something that he did not want to see.

Waving his hand dismissively, he said, "I think that I am the one that is going to decide on who is going to fight first from our side. So, you better not try making choices by yourself. Just be patit and wait for your turn to be beat."

After saying those words, Harry completely ignored the fuming Lucas, and wt back to his group. Th, his group began murmuring to each other, as if they were discussing something.

Lucas on the other hand, after calming down a little, he approached Scarlet and whispered something to her. Scarlet nodded without saying anything.

Finally, after about an tire minute, it seemed that the other group had come to a decision. And without hesitation, a muscular guy with a bald head took a step forward and tered into the ring. The momt that he tered into the ring, the members of Scarlet's group could not help but take in a cold breath.

The reason behind that was simple. This was the same guy who had beat them up previously. His name was Alfie. They did not know where this guy had come from, but ev th, he was extremely strong. They had ev gone to the extt of fighting him vs , but they did not win at all. They were actually beat up with quite ease.

Ev Lucas was afraid of this guy. After all, he had beat him previously, and Lucas did not have a chance of resisting at all. It was clear that the gap betwe the two of them was extremely huge, and no matter what, it was impossible for him to be able to breach the gap.

But now, with Scarlet here, he possessed the confidce that they would be able to win against this guy. Although Scarlet was a lady, her prowess was not something that could be underestimated. After all, she was the presidt of the fighting club in the school.

And the reason why they had be competing against the other party, Harry, was simply because Harry wanted to take the position, but since he could not beat Scarlet, he decided to try using other methods to defeat her.

This was obviously a method that he had found out. Previously, he had tried utilizing his group to defeat Scarlet and her group, but in the d, they were defeated again and again. But this time, he had found somebody that possessed ough strgth to be able to crush the tire group.

Scarlet looked at the guy who had tered into the ring. Just by observing the expressions of her group, she realized that this was definitely the guy who had beat them up. After all, they had already described to her the appearance of this guy. And the description of the appearance and this guy's appearance was definitely the same.

Scarlet was expected to ter into the ring, but instead, she continued standing there. She did not show any inttion of tering into the ring. That was something that made everyone other than Lucas perplexed.

Ev Jad could not help but raise his brows a little, wondering what it was that Scarlet was planning. She was supposed to be the one that was fighting against this guy, could it be that she was afraid of this guy?

"Hey, we have already gott the first person of our group into the ring. We are waiting for you to select a person to ter into the ring so that we can fight." Harry stated as he looked at Scarlet. It was clear that he was expecting that Scarlet was going to ter into the ring.

Scarlet did not respond at all, and simply glanced coldly at Harry. The guy shrunk his neck and retreated a single step backwards before he stopped himself. At this momt, he felt completely humiliated. No matter what, he was not supposed to retreat, considering that he wanted to take the position that Scarlett was holding.

Thinking that this humiliation had to be paid for, he looked at Alfie who was currtly looking back at him, and he nodded. The other party nodded in response, as if there was a form of silt communication betwe the two of them.

Just as Scarlet's group was getting a little anxious considering that Scarlet was not tering into the ring, Lucas looked at Harry and said, "You know, you seem quite anxious to get beat. But do you think that you are qualified to fight against Scarlet? I don't think that you are qualified to do that. And for that reason, today, Scarlet is not going to fight."

After saying those words, everyone was immediately left slightly dumbfounded. After all, Scarlet had be talking about beating someone and forcing them back into their place not long ago, but now, she was not going to fight? What was going on here?

Just as they were wondering if Scarlet was going to retreat, Lucas continued. "Since we believe that you guys are not qualified fight against our leader, we are going to let Scarlet's little lackey to fight against you."

As he said those words, he looked towards Jad, indicating that he was mtioning him.

Jad could not help but frown after hearing those words. He was actually being referred as a lackey? And from the way that Lucas had said those words, it was clear that he possessed contempt towards him.

Jad could not help but wonder if there was any grudge betwe the two of them. But no matter how hard he thought about it, he did not remember any grudge existing betwe the two of them.

Nevertheless, he did not say anything. As for going to fight against that guy in the ring, Jad was not interested at all. He believed that with his currt capabilities, he was way out of this group of youngsters' league.

Harry on the other hand was completely infuriated after hearing Lucas's words. He looked towards Jad and shouted, "You are the one that they have hired to come and fight for them? You better get you're a*s into this ring so that we can deal with you as soon as possible. We don't have much time to waste here!"

Although Jad was completely displeased by what the other party had said, he did not make any move. He remained composed, and completely ignored the guy. At this momt, if he had to deal with somebody, it definitely was this guy called Lucas. After all, he was the one who had set him up in the situation.

Jad simply yawned, showing no inttion of going into the ring. But at this momt, a voice suddly reached his ears. "You have to go and fight."
