The Bodyguard System

After a momt of silce, the lady finally decided to speak. "I'm not really sure why you are here. But in case you are here to cause trouble like the previous group, th I would advise you to leave. But in case you have any business transaction that you would like to discuss with me, I'm all ears."

The lady's voice was both gtle and stern at the same time. Within it, there was a threat, indicating that in case Jad and the others were here to cause trouble, she would definitely deal with them.

"Please have a seat before you say anything. I don't want you to say that I didn't have courtesy to you my visitors." The lady said once again.

Scarlet stepped forward. She wt ahead and sat on one of the chairs that was in front of the desk. Lucas wanted to do the same, but the time that he was approaching the chair, he realized that Jad had already sat on it.

At that momt, he was both embarrassed and angry at Jad. Nevertheless, there was nothing that he could do at this momt, and could only retreat and sit on the couch. A few people wt ahead and sat with him on the couch. As for the others that could not find a place to sit, they could only continue standing.

After settling on the chair in front of the lady, Scarlet spoke up. "We are here for two reasons. One of them is to find our frids that came over. And other than that, it is to deal with a gang. According to the information that we have received, this gang that you are leading is involved in several criminal activities.

So, we as citizs are taking action, to help the police in suring that safety and order are maintained within the community."

Scarlet explained without any sse of fear in her voice. Of course, the reason that she had giv was something that they had just made up. In any case, this was just a method that they were using to compete. Since they could not just attack anybody, they believed that it was better for them to attack the gangsters.

As long as they found ough evidce, they would be able to easily hand over the gangsters to the police. So, not only would they not be blamed for attacking people, but instead, they might ev be rewarded for that.

Upon hearing Scarlet's words, the lady's expression suddly changed. She looked at Scarlet with a cold expression on her face. At the same time, a hint of killing intt appeared within her eyes as she looked at Scarlet.

Ev though Scarlet was a little intimidated, she did not back down in the staring competition betwe the two of them. After a few seconds of staring at each other, the lady finally decided to speak up.

"If I may ask, who told you that I do run that kind of business? For me, I do simple business here. I'm only involved in running a club and a lodging business. As for the gangsters that you are talking about, I really don't know about it." The lady stated indiffertly.

From the way that she was saying it, it was as if she did not care about it. In fact, it was clear that she did not care about Scarlet's ability to do what she had just claimed.

"Oh, is that so? Th what is going to explain about that group of gangsters below there? The momt that we arrived, they began acting arrogantly in front of us. Additionally, they were ready to attack. Had it not be for the fact that you came on time, I don't doubt that they would have already attacked us." Scarlet stated with a sarcastic voice.

"You are talking about that group of gangsters out there? Ev though they are out of this building, that does not imply that they are part of it." The lady responded with a frown on her face.

From Jad's observation of the lady, he could see that there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. It seemed that there was something that was related to that group of gangsters out there that made her helpless.

"They are not part of the building and the business, but still, they do obey what you tell them to do? Additionally, if they are here to disrupt the business, why do they have to cooperate with everything that you say? It is clear that if you tell them to do anything, they will immediately do that." Scarlet snorted as she responded.

"Those guys out there can do anything that I tell them to do, but there is one thing that they cannot do. That is, they can never get out of here no matter how many times I want them to get out of here. As for the fear that they have for me, that is simply because of their leader." The lady responded. At this momt, there was a clear expression of anger on her face.

It was clear that she was completely irritated by the group of gangsters out there. But still, she was helpless in this situation, as she was not capable of driving them away.

"If you are not capable of driving them away, why don't you simply call the police and ask them to sd them away. After all, they are disrupting the business, ar't they?" Scarlet shot back. It was clear that she did not believe what the lady had said. According to her, this was just a plan that this lady was having.

"Police? Do you think that the police can be trusted at this momt? The one behind this group of gangsters possesses quite some connections within the police force. So, it is impossible for me to do anything to them considering that I don't have connections like they do.

So, ev if I call the police, they will not take these people away. At the d of the day, ev though this group of gangsters is out of this building, of them has done anything that is disrupting the business.

Additionally, I will require ough evidce to show that they are doing that. Otherwise, it might just land me into trouble instead. After all, it would be a false accusation." The lady stated once again.

And at this momt, the strong front that she had be putting in front of the group immediately crumbled slightly. But that did not imply that she looked helpless and fragile. Instead, Scarlet and the rest of the group could see that she was definitely not capable of dealing with that group of gangsters out there.

Scarlet frowned a little. At this momt, she began believing the lady. But ev th, she was still doubting that what the lady was saying was true. After all, if it was actually true that she was not in charge of those gangsters, why was it that it had be reported to them that they were part of the group of gangsters that were committing crimes within this area?

As if she could already see what Scarlett was thinking about, the lady continued. "Those guys, ev though they are being paid for being here, that does not prevt them from doing whatever they want. I don't want to get myself involved with them, so, unless it is something that is related to my business, I will not get myself involved with their activities.

So, it can be said that they are quite free. And most of the time, they commit several crimes. Ev if I want to prevt them from doing that, it is impossible for me to be able to monitor them all day . So, it is not impossible for them to be able to do some things secretly."

Scarlet remained silt for a while. Finally, she spoke up. "Alright. I'll give you the befit of doubt for this. But in any case, I want to know about my frids. They came over here to deal with gangsters.

But since we received false information, th, I do believe that you have not killed them. Because if you have, th that will be contradictory to what you just said."

"You are talking about that group of brats that came over arrogantly? They are currtly locked within a room that is located on the second floor. No harm has be done to them other than a few injuries that they received during the time that they were trying to fight with the gangsters.

They should thank me, considering that had I not interved, they might have ded up being killed. After all, the momt that they arrived, they provoked those crooks outside." The lady snorted in the d.

Jad could not help but raise his brows a little. He had already met with Vinct before, and according to his observation of the guy, it was clear that that guy was definitely not the one that would go ahead and provoke others easily.

Otherwise, previously, wh Jad had ignored him, that guy would have definitely not hesitated to act against him. But in the d, the guy did not say much about it, and it seemed that he had ev forgott about it.

Scarlet on the other hand was immediately relieved after hearing that Vinct and the others had not be killed. As for them being injured, that did not matter much. In any case, as long as they were not dead, they could still recover.

Additionally, from what this lady had just said, it was clear that they had not be badly injured. So, it was not impossible for them to be able to recover in a short time. At least, she believed that they had not gott their limbs brok or fractured. Otherwise, that was going to be a little complicated.
