The Bodyguard System

This immediately made everybody tse up, while Harry was

immediately infuriated, and got ready to take action. The two fighting in the

ring were also surprised by Jad's actions.

Due to how abruptly Jad's actions were, nobody was able to

react before Jad landed in the ring. The two that had already be fighting

with each other were forced to stop.

Of course, the stopping came not due to the fact that the

two of them were surprised, and decided to stop to understand what Jad was

doing in the ring, but instead, it was Jad who was blocking Alfie's punch

that was about to land on Scarlet's abdom.

Previously, as he was observing the situation within the

ring, he was always prepared to take action. Due to his intermediate combat

skills, he was able to easily predict the next action of the two people that

were fighting within the ring.

And for that reason, the momt that he realized that

Scarlet was not going to be able to dodge an attack from Alfie, he decided to

take action. No matter what, he could not let Scarlet to be injured in this

situation.

After all, other than the fact that he did not want to fail

in the task that he had be giv as a bodyguard, he also did not want to lose

the job. After all, losing the job implied that he was going to lose the system

as well. The same was applied for the mission that he had be giv, to

survive as Scarlet's bodyguard for an tire week.

The momt that he tered into the ring, he easily managed

to stop Alfie's attack by grabbing his wrist. Feeling the strgth behind the

attack, Jad could not help but be surprised by how powerful Alfie was.

He believed that, had it not be for the fact that he had

be strgthed after he had be healed by the system, he would definitely

have be forced to retreat after blocking that attack. Additionally, it was

going to be impossible for him to be able to grab Alfie's wrist.

Scarlet who was already worn out could not help but be

relieved the momt that she realized that she was not injured at all. For the

first time, she appreciated the presce of Jad. She understood that  had Jad not tak action on time, she would

have already be hit by the punch, and she believed that she would have be

in a miserable state at the momt.

After all, currtly, she was already tired. And so, it was

quite difficult for her to be able to make rapid movemts like the start.

Alfie on the other hand had be composed, and maintained the same tempo as the

fight progressed.

Harry on the other hand was about to go mad. He had not

expected that there was going to be somebody that was going to take action and

ter into the ring at a crucial momt. Ev though he could not see it

clearly, at least, he could tell that Scarlet was not going to dodge the attack

that had be launched by Alfie.

He was about to rush into the ring and deal with Jad, wh

suddly, Lucas blocked his path. He did not know how Lucas had gott here,

but somehow, the guy had already covered the distance betwe them, and managed

to block him from tering into the ring.

Of course, although Lucas had be previously hesitating on

tering into the ring in order to help Scarlet out, he was still approaching

the ring. The reason behind that was simply because he could not allow Scarlet

to be injured.

No matter what, ev if their reputation was going to be

damaged, and Scarlet was going to be irritated about this, he could not allow

her to be injured. After all, he was obsessed with her.

But just as he was about to ter into the ring after

realizing that Scarlet was going to be hit by Alfie, he realized that somehow,

Jad had already gott into the ring. He did not see how the guy had done it,

but nevertheless, he had gott in and managed to save Scarlet.

Although he was still displeased by the fact that this guy

was going to be continuing to follow Scarlet a, for the first time, he

believed that the guy had done the right thing. But of course, he believed that

he had done what was assigned to him.

It was at that momt that he realized that Harry was about

to rush into the ring. How could he allow that to happ? So, he immediately

wt ahead and blocked his path.

"What is the meaning of this Lucas? Are you trying to play

foul here? You want the fight in the ring

to progress vs ? Is this all your group can do?" Harry asked as he

looked at Lucas with squinted eyes.

He understood that it was going to be impossible for him to

be able to get through Lucas anytime soon. Of course, he understood that Lucas

possessed some kind of obsession towards Scarlet, and so, no matter what, he

would definitely not allow Scarlet to be harmed.

"Humph! Are you sure that you can use your eyes properly? Or

do your eyes have some problems that you will need to visit an optician? As you

can see, currtly, in the ring, the fight has already stopped. Now tell me,

what advantage are you talking about? What kind of foul play are we playing?"

Lucas snorted as he questioned back.

No matter how embarrassing the situation was, he was

definitely not going to allow anything to happ to Scarlet. And since Jad

was currtly in the ring, it implied that it was going to be impossible for

Alfie to be able to harm Scarlet.

Although he wanted to replace Jad at the momt, he was

currtly held up. He could only let the guy take the spotlight for now for

saving Scarlet.

As for the matter of Jad and Scarlet being beat by

Alfie, that thought never crossed his mind at all. After all, no matter how

weak Jad was, it was definitely impossible for Scarlet's family to hire Jad

if he did not possess some abilities. So, Jad's abilities together with those

that Scarlet possessed were definitely ough to be able to defeat Alfie, at

least that is what he believed.

Inside the ring, Alfie frowned as he looked at Jad.

Previously, he had already noticed that Jad had approached the ring, and was

observing the battle going on betwe the two of them. But he did not pay much

atttion to this guy, thinking that he was just here as a spectator.

After all, previously, he had be asked to fight, but he

refused. But he had never expected that Jad was actually going to take

action. Additionally, it seemed that he was extremely strong to be able to

easily grasp his wrist, prevting the attack that was about to land on Scarlet

from doing so.

He looked at Jad, without trying to retrieve his arm at

all. He was wondering what Jad's inttions were. If he was going to attack

at this momt, th, he would definitely fight this guy. Until now, he had

be holding back. And if he was to fight the two of them, he believed that he

would definitely be capable of defeating both of them.

Jad on the other hand, having already realized that Alfie

did not have the inttion of continuing to attack, he released his hand. After

that, he looked at Scarlet and said, "We should retreat now, right?"

Scarlet had not expected that Jad was going to say

something like that. Why was he not attacking Alfie? In this situation, since

he was her bodyguard, he was supposed to take action and deal with Alfie,

considering that the guy was about to injure her.

Additionally, they had already added him to the group that

they belonged to, and so, he was going to fight for the reputation of the

group. But looking at Jad's eyes, she could tell that the guy did not have

the inttion of getting in a fight at all.

This was something that made her infuriated. But ev th,

she didn't have any method that she could utilize in order to make him fight

with Alfie. She had not be injured, and they were fighting fair and square.

This is also the reason why Jad had not done anything to

Alfie. In any case, this fight was agreed upon, and it was clear that Scarlet

had lost. Since that was the case, they had to accept the defeat. Since Scarlet

was not injured, Jad would definitely not take action against him.

Additionally, it was not as if Alfie was an emy. It was

just that they belonged to differt groups. Since they had already won, what

was the reason of continuing to fight? It was better for them to retreat.

Alfie was also surprised wh he heard what Jad had said.

He had previously thought that Jad was intding to attack together with

Scarlet, but it seemed that he was wrong. And with that, his impression of

Jad increased by a slight margin.

"What are you saying? Are you not going to take action?

Didn't you see…that I was about to be injured? Since you are supposed to

take…care of me, are you not supposed to take action and deal with the person

that was about to harm me?" Scarlet asked with a frown, as she tried to

stabilize her breathing.

She did not mtion about Jad being her bodyguard,

considering that it was going to lead to some big stories. Additionally,

Jad's backg would be investigated, and that was something that she did

not want for now.

After all, if they investigated about Jad, that implied

that they would have to investigate about her as well. She did not want to use

the popularity of her family in order to deal with many situations within the

campus.

If many people knew about the fact that she was a part of

the Johnsons, they would definitely not treat her the same way.

In response to the question, Jad simply shrugged his

shoulders without saying anything. After all, what was he supposed to say? This

was a fair fight, and Scarlet was the one who had tak the initiative fight.
