The Bodyguard System

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 to fight.

Scarlet had come to understand one thing about Jad. This guy was extremely rude. Completely differt from the bodyguards that her family had hired for her, this guy would not list to just anything that she said.

The ones that had come before him had always listed to each and every command that she gave. If she told them to do something, they would immediately take action and do it. But the same could not be said about Jad.

Although he did not blatantly refuse, but nevertheless, he was quite smart, using logic, in such a way that he would not be implicated in any case. After all, she also understood that his duty was a bodyguard, and was to protect her.

Since he had tak action and protected her from being injured by Alfie, it implied that he had already completed the task. And thinking about it, it was not as if there was any kind of mity that would require Alfie to kill her. So, there was no need for Jad to eliminate Alfie as well.

Although she did not want to give up, she understood that she definitely had to retreat at this momt. It was clear that they had be defeated, but they had no choice. The only thing that she could do right now was to go back and train as much as possible, so that she could defeat Alfie next time.

Or if that was not possible, she could only try to strategize so that she could make Jad fight against Alfie. She believed that with his strgth, he was definitely going to be able to take care of Alfie. After all, he was stronger than her, making it possible for him to be able to defeat him.

But of course, she understood that it was going to be difficult for her to be able to scheme against Jad. This guy was kind of smart, and she herself was not that good wh it came to scheming.

Wh she thought about scheming, she suddly thought of somebody, Lucas. That guy, although he usually followed behind her and did whatever she told him to do, she understood that he was definitely a scheming person.

With his brains, it was definitely not impossible for him to be able to make an arrangemt so that Jad and Alfie would fight against each other.

With that thought in mind, she snorted before jumping out of the ring. Th, wh Lucas approached, she whispered to him something, before leaving the gym tirely.

Previously, Lucas had be expecting that Jad was going to help Scarlet so that they could deal with Alfie. But it seemed that he was wrong, considering that the guy did not have the inttion of fighting at all.

Looking at his back as he left together with Scarlet, Lucas could not help but frown. But thinking about what Scarlet had told him, he could not help but be a little skeptical.

From what Scarlet had told him, it was clear that this guy was quite skilled. Otherwise, it was going to be impossible for her to say something like making sure that the two of them, Jad and Alfie, fought against each other.

Thinking about how Jad had be able to stop the attack from Alfie from landing on Scarlet, he believed it that he himself could not do the same. Although he was not willing to admit it, but he knew it in his heart.

Finally, Lucas made a decision. He would have to test out Jad's combat ability. Until now, he did not know how strong Jad was. And it seemed that the incidt in the morning was definitely not as he had previously thought, with Scarlet being able to deal with the six gangsters alone.

Lucas was brought out of his thoughts by Harry who approached him. It seemed that he would have to deal with this group, while making arrangemts so that he could make sure that Alfie and Jad fought against each other.

"As you can see, your leader Scarlet has already retreated. Since that is the case, should we consider this our win?" Harry asked with an arrogant expression on his face. It was clear that he was happy about the fact that they had dealt with Scarlet.

It might be true that they had not actually injured her, and not ev a single attack landed on her, but nevertheless, somebody from Scarlet's side had interved in the battle betwe the two of them. And it was clear that Scarlet was having a disadvantage, and had it not be for the fact that, that guy interved, she would have be defeated by Alfie.

"Humph! What are you being arrogant about? It is not as if we both don't know that the strongest person on our side did not take action at all. Otherwise, you would definitely not have any chance at all." Lucas responded with a snort.

"What strongest person are you talking about? Was it not long ago that you claimed that we previously defeated you because Scarlet was not here? And now that Scarlet has be defeated, you are claiming that is yet another person that you want to bring?" Harry asked in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you know? Did you not see that Jad did not fight against Alfie ev after he easily stopped his attack? He simply did not take action because Alfie had already gott tired from fighting against Scarlet. If he defeated him, you would definitely not agree with that, thinking that he only took advantage of Alfie's tiredness." Lucas responded with a smile on the corner of his lips.

Harry could not help but frown. Of course, he understood that Jad definitely possessed quite some capabilities for him to be able to prevt Alfie from hitting Scarlet. His movemts were extremely agile, abling him to be able to get into the ring and stop the attack on time.

Ev though he took action only ones, Harry believed that Jad was also strong. But of course, he did not believe that Jad was stronger than Alfie. No matter what, he would always believe that the person that he had brought over was definitely the strongest within the campus.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Lucas and asked, "So, what are you suggesting?"

Lucas smiled broadly. He understood that his plot had actually succeeded. So without any hurry, he said, "You will have to convince Alfie to fight against Jad. But of course, we are not going to tell Jad to fight against Alfie. You will have to ask Alfie to convince Jad to fight against him.

Jad doesn't seem to want to fight against Alfie simply because he thinks that Alfie is not a worthy oppont."

Harry could not help but be displeased by Lucas' words. But thinking about it, it actually made sse. After all, previously, wh Scarlet and Lucas had be trying to ask Jad to fight, the guy refused completely. In fact, he completely ignored Lucas, implying that he definitely did not care about Lucas.

As for Scarlet, she was also not obeyed. That implied that this guy was definitely not holding a small position within the group. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to continue disobeying these two people, and continue existing within the group.

As for the matter of Lucas claiming that Jad thought that Alfie was not a worthy oppont, he thought that it might actually be true. After all, Jad had only tak action wh necessary, and saved Scarlet. But other than that, he did not show any inttion of fighting against Alfie.

"Humph! Is that so? Th we will see. I will make arrangemts, and you better be there wh Alfie destroys that guy of yours. Wh that time comes, you better accept your defeat obeditly." After saying those words, Harry turned a and wt back to his group.

Lucas on the other hand was excited. He understood that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to convince Jad to take action, since ev Scarlet could not do the same. But it was not going to be much trouble if Alfie was the one that was provoking Jad.

He did not believe that Jad would not take action if he was provoked continuously by Alfie. And if this plan failed, he already possessed another plan that he would initiate immediately.

With that thought in mind, he left with the rest of the group, hurrying to follow Scarlet. They still had another thing to handle.

Harry on the other hand did not care about Lucas' group leaving. Instead, he approached Alfie with an angry expression on his face and asked, "What is the meaning of this? You actually let him go? That guy looks down on you, and you cannot hit back at all? What is the use of having you if you cannot help us in defeating Scarlet's group?"

Alfie did not respond for a while, and simply remained silt. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but Harry did not really care about what he was thinking. Instead, he only thought about the fact that they had failed to take the win in this situation.

"I am speaking to you. Do you know the reason why that guy did not fight against you? It is simply because he doesn't view you as a worthy oppont!" Harry was almost shouting as he said those words.

Of course, he was also angry about that. After all, at the d of the day, Alfie was part of the group, and his humiliation was the humiliation of the tire group.

"That guy is strong." Alfie responded with a single word, before turning a to leave. This left Harry exasperated, but he did not know what to do.
