The Bodyguard System

Chapter 67: Compulsory Mission



While Scarlet was communicating with Clifford, Jaden was still paying attention to those vehicles. But it was at that moment that suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Compulsory mission generated: Protect the client from the enemies. The rewards will be calculated according to the completion of the mission and the safety of the client.]

The moment that Jaden received that prompt, he immediately realized that his assumptions were right. Since the system regarded that there was an enemy close by, that indicated that they were definitely related to those Jeeps.

As he observed, he could see that there was a total of three jeeps. Each and every one of them was of the same design, indicating that they might be closely related.

Of course, Jaden did not rule out the possibility that one or two of the Jeeps was not among the vehicles that were possessed by the enemies. Additionally, he could also not ignore the fact that the other vehicles could also be used.

So, after making observations, Jaden immediately realized that it was going to be impossible for the enemy to attack at this moment. As long as they were in the surrounding areas of Blue Seal hotel, they would definitely not try to launch an attack on them.

After all, not only was the security of the hotel quite good, considering that several cameras had been installed in the surrounding areas including the parking lot area, but the security guards of the hotel were also professional. So, in case there was anybody that was trying to cause trouble here, they would definitely be coming over in just a matter of a few seconds.

Moreover, Jaden believed that they would definitely be capable of reacting way faster than ever before. After all, it was not long ago that an attack had been launched on Wilson. And for that reason, the security guards had been extremely cautious, and were looking for anything suspicious.

So, Jaden decided to continue waiting until Scarlet finished communicating with her father. And the moment that she did that, he immediately spoke up.

"Let me drive." Jaden stated with an indifferent expression on his face.

Scarlet was caught completely off-guard. This was the first time that Jaden was offering to drive. It might be true that they had not interacted for long, but still, the guy would always get into the car and relax in the passenger seat, leaving her the duty of driving.

So, at this moment, she could not help but wonder what it was that had made his mind change. While she was still contemplating on the reason why Jaden had suggested that he drove the vehicle, Jaden was getting impatient.

With a frown on his face, he continued, "You will not be able to deal with what we are going to encounter next. So, allow me to do the driving. You can just relax in the passenger seat for now."

The moment that Scarlet heard those words, she immediately understood that there was a group of enemies around. Still, she could not help but wonder if Jaden was looking down on her when it came to driving.

She believed that she was way better than him when it came to driving. Could it be that he was looking down on her because she was a woman?

Of course, Jaden was not thinking along those lines. With the knowledge that he possessed due to the possession of professional driving skills, he was going to be capable of easily maneuvering a vehicle as compared to Scarlet. Additionally, his reflexes were quite good, and so, it was not going to be impossible for him to be able to control the vehicle at a high speed.

Even though Scarlet was thinking that Jaden was looking down on her, she did not say anything about it. Instead, she asked, "Why don't we just talk with Wilson? He can simply send a few security guards over, and ensure that those crooks don't have a chance of attacking us."

"That won't do. Since they are here, and they followed you here, it implies that they are going to make sure that they deal with you without caring much about the consequences. The only reason that they might not have attacked until now is simply because they want to make sure that they do it without much interruption.

If they attack right now, they are definitely going to be at a great disadvantage considering that the security of the hotel are going to be involved. But if they don't have any other choice, they will definitely launch an attack, even if it means suicide." Jaden responded.

It was not as if he possessed information about those people, and neither did he know about the reason why they wanted to attack. Still, he believed that since they came over, that implied that they had a target. And for the system to give him a prompt and a mission, that implied that there was danger that was involved this time.

Additionally, the mission was compulsory. This was completely different from the optional mission that he had received last time. So, no matter what, it implied that he would have to complete the mission if he wanted to continue with the task of being a bodyguard.

Upon seeing the solemn expression on Jaden's face, Scarlet immediately understood that this was something that had to be taken seriously. So, she immediately opened the driver's door, and alighted. Jaden did the same thing, and the two of them exchanged positions.

The moment that Jaden took hold of the wheels of the car, the information about the professional driving skills emerged in his mind once again. At the same time, due to the muscle memory that had been integrated during the time that he was receiving the skill, he felt like he had been driving all his life.

When holding the steer wheel of the car, Jaden felt completely relaxed. It was as if he could do many things with the vehicle at this moment. But understanding that the time was tight, he did not hesitate to start the vehicle.

Vrooom!

The engine of the Ferrari roared to life. Jaden immediately put it in the reverse gear, before he reversed from the parking slot. Then, immediately after he got out of the parking, he began driving steadily towards the exit of the hotel parking area.

He made sure not to make any suspicious movements. Instead, he drove as if he did not know that there was an enemy close by. At the same time, he made sure to keep watch of all the mirrors, monitoring any vehicle that was going to come after them.

And true to his expectation, the jeeps together with a few normal Audi vehicles immediately left the parking area together with them, while trailing behind them slowly. Jaden did not panic, instead, he continued driving slowly, until he got back on the highway.

The moment that the Ferrari touched the highway, Jaden immediately began driving. The Ferrari was an automatic car, but there was still an option for it to go into manual mode. So, Jaden immediately switched into manual mode.

And with that, he began shifting gears, as he stepped onto the clutch. At the same time, he began pressing the accelerator slowly, and the raving of the engine suddenly increased.

In the next moment, the car shot out from where it was, and in just a matter of a few seconds, it had sped off. Due to the acceleration of the Ferrari f8 spider, which was at 6.2 mph in just 2.9 seconds, in just a matter of less than 30 seconds, the car was already moving at a speed of more than 40 mph.

Of course, Jaden could not go at full speed at this moment. The roads were kind of busy, and so, it was impossible for him to move freely.

Inside the vehicles that have been waiting for the Ferrari to leave the parking lot area, the group of men within the vehicles could not help but panic slightly the moment that they realized that the Ferrari was speeding off.

They had never thought that the other party was going to realize their presence before they even acted. Still, they had no choice but to immediately try and follow behind. They could not allow Scarlet to escape this time.

The only problem was the fact that they did not come over prepared. They had been surprised by the impromptu mission, and so, they did not make enough preparations for this mission.

Of course, it was an impossibility for the jeeps to be able to catch up to the Ferrari. So, in just a matter of a few seconds, they had completely lost sight of the Ferrari. Considering that the Ferrari possessed higher acceleration as compared to their vehicles, and the Ferrari sped off, catching them off-guard, it was impossible for them to be able to catch up.

"It is a good thing that despite the fact that we did not make enough preparations, we still made preparations nevertheless. Inform them to launch the drone to keep track of them. Make sure that we don't lose them." The leader of the group immediately instructed through the walkie-talkie.

A few seconds later, while they were trying to chase behind the Ferrari, in another different location, along the very same highway, several drones were launched into the air. Then, after making a connection, real life videos began being displayed on the tablet that the leader of the group was holding.

"It is a good thing that there is no way of branching out of this highway for a few kilometers. So, it is not going to be difficult for us to be able to deal with them as long as they continue moving on this highway." The leader stated.

Then in the next moment, he took the walkie-talkie and said, "Start coming from the opposite direction. You will be informed when to intercept them."
