The Bodyguard System

Chapter 131: Hostages, Rapid Response

"You will be coming with me and my group. As for if I am going to release you or not after we escape from this place, that will depend on my mood." Second tiger stated.

Those words immediately sent shivers down the spines of the two ladies. They had observed the cruelty of this guy, as he had shot Edward without any hesitation.

It was clear that he was a person who had utilized guns on several occasions. And so, since that was the case, he would definitely not hesitate to kill them in case they resisted.

At this moment, Scarlet really wanted to cry. Even though she always acted strong in front of others, she was also a person who possessed some weaknesses. In front of death, who was not afraid?

She was still young, and she still had a lot of things to experience. She had not even gotten a boyfriend, never gotten into a relationship, serious or not, had not even finished campus. She definitely could not accept dying here.

At the same time, she really wished that she had not come here. It was simply because she was tired of staying at home, that she decided to come together with Sylvia.

But now, she regretted it. It would have been better if she had come here the following day, considering that perhaps an incident like this would not have happened.

Her body was trembling slightly, as she was still squatting on the ground. She did not have any thought of resistance, but if there was a chance of getting away, she would definitely not ignore it.

Sylvia on the other hand was slightly calm. Nevertheless, she was also afraid. Who would not be afraid in such a situation? Currently, they did not know what mood this guy was in, but it was definitely not the best.

Considering that it seemed that the item that he had come here to fetch was not where it was supposed to be, it was clear that he was irritated. So, if this guy ended up feeling that he had to vent his anger on them, he might end up shooting them.

Currently, their background did not matter at all. No matter how formidable the background was, unless they knew what was going on here, it was impossible for them to be able to take action and save them. In fact, it might even be impossible for them to be able to save them from this situation, in case they were killed right now.

Jaden on the other hand looked calm on the surface, but he was currently panicking. He was not sure on how to handle this situation. Additionally, currently, there was not even a single chance for him to be able to act against this group.

There was a total of 11 guns pointed towards him. Of course, even if he believed that his reflexes were fast, they were definitely not as fast as this group of guys shooting at them.

Even if he managed to disarm one of them, it would not be enough to be able to deal with the entire group, considering that there would be 10 more of them that would shoot at him.

He was panicking inside simply because this matter was not only related to his own life, but it was also related to Scarlet's. At this moment, he just hoped that nothing would happen to Scarlet, considering that in case Scarlet ended up being hurt, the rewards that he would receive would definitely reduce.

And if the situation got even worse, and Scarlet got killed, then he would lose the system. Without a client, he was definitely not a bodyguard. And without being a bodyguard, he could not possess the bodyguard system.

As for changing a client, that seemed to be impossible, considering that the system seemed so much focused on making sure that he was Scarlet's bodyguard.

The group of three managed to get up from the ground. Their arms were still in the air, an indication of submission.

For the first time, seeing that things were going his way, second tiger was slightly pleased. But of course, it was not enough to be able to remove the gloom that he was having currently, due to the failure in the mission.

Second tiger immediately approached the group. Then, he put his gun on the back of Sylvia's head. Then, he moved his free hand around her neck, just above her chest, making sure that it was impossible for her to be to run away.

Two other people immediately approached Jaden and Scarlet, and did the same thing to them. It was clear that they were using them as human shields.

As for Edward, he was roughly pulled up from the ground, and was dragged towards the elevator. Despite wanting to complain about how roughly he was being handled, and the pain that he was undergoing, he refrained from saying anything.

He was afraid that if he said something about not being able to walk, he might end up being killed, instead of being released. This was a group of gangsters, why would they release a person, when there was a choice of killing?

At the end of the day, Edward had already received information about what it was that they were targeting. So, it was clear that they would not easily let him go, considering that he already understood the aim that they were having.

If this information was allowed to spread, then that implied that it would be difficult for this group of gangsters to be able to get what they wanted.

Second tiger did not think much, and the group managed to get into the elevator. Then, they immediately headed towards the basement of the building. That was where the underground parking was located.

During the time that they were inside the elevator, they made sure that Jaden and the rest of the group were put in front of the elevator, just in case there was somebody that was waiting for them down there.

A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened, and what was revealed was a large group of security guards. Of course, this group was special, considering that each and every one of them was holding a gun in their hands, pointing towards the elevator.

They were currently hiding behind several vehicles, using them as shields. Initially, they had prepared to shoot, but when they realized that the group that was coming from the elevator was having hostages, they did not act.

That was especially so when they realized that Edward, the branch manager of the bank was also among them. The group could not help but get a little anxious, but there was nothing that they could do.

Second tiger on the other hand could not help but frown behind his mask. Why was it that there was a large group of people here? Wasn't the reaction of this group of people a little off?

Since he was the one that was making the plans, he was already anticipating that the security would be able to react. It was just that it was completely unexpected that such a large number of people would be here at this moment.

It seemed that there was something wrong within the plan that he had made. If he managed to get out of here, he would make sure to deal with somebody.

"All of you, better retreat now. If you don't, I don't mind blowing the head of your boss here right now!" Second tiger shouted, as he shifted his gun from Sylvia's head, and pointed it towards Edward.

The group of security guards immediately flinched upon seeing that. Immediately, they wanted to retreat, but of course, they could not do that without receiving a command from the captain of the security guards of the bank.

Of course, it was impossible for a normal security guards to possess guns to protect a bank. It was just that this group was quite special. They were part of the police force, that had been hired to act as security guards for the bank.

They had not started doing this long ago, instead, it had only been about 3 months ago. They did not know why they had been asked to act as security guards, but nevertheless, they obeyed the command that they had been given by their higher-ups.

And now, they seemed to understand the reason. It seemed that this event had already been foreseen, and so, they were already stationed here.

The captain of the group of police officers acting as security guards was named Evans. He possessed blonde hair, with sharp brown eyes. He was currently contemplating on what to do.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally made a decision. "All of you, retreat. The security of the hostages is more important."

During just a few seconds that second tiger and his group had managed arrive here through the elevator, he had noticed that they were not carrying any bags. That implied that they were not here to steal money. Otherwise, they would definitely come out carrying large bags of money.

And if it was true that they were here for money, and they had managed to rob, that implied that the money was not with them, but instead, the money had left with another channel. So, it was better for them to retreat for now, ensuring the security of the hostages, while at the same time, communicating with other police departments to cooperate in order to ensure that the money was not lost.

Upon hearing his words, the group of police officers immediately retreated. Of course, they made sure to hide, just in case the enemy began shooting at them.

They retreated, until they left the underground parking. Second tiger and his group cautiously moved, before they managed to get into a car. This car was already part of the plan, it was a van.

So, it was quite easy for it to be able to accommodate all of them, even though the group of hostages had to press against each other.

The moment that they got inside the car, one of them got into the driver's seat, while second tiger took the passenger's seat. Then, after the car started, it immediately drove towards the exit of the underground parking.
