The Bodyguard System

Chapter 164: Jaden's Power

"Are you crazy? If you want to get away from here, then just do it. But don't count me in." Scarlet responded in a low voice.

Lucas was a little stunned. He had not expected that Scarlet was going to react like that. She was actually thinking about the rest of the group? Wasn't she afraid that she would end up dying in this place?

"I should be the one asking you if you are crazy or not. Don't you get it? Right now, if we continue staying in this place, we will end up dying. What does the two of us staying here change?

We obviously don't have the power to be able to compete against this group of people, as they have guns. We are going to die in case we try fighting against them.

The only thing that we can do is to try to look for a chance to get away from them. We have to get out of here, and the only chance that we are going to get is the fight between Jaden and second tiger. We cannot miss that chance!" Lucas responded.

There was anger in his voice, still, he was trying to control himself so that he did not speak out so loud. Otherwise, others would definitely notice that he was planning to get away with Scarlet.

"Who said that you have to stay? If you want to leave, then go ahead. But don't try counting me among the people that are going to abandon the people that they had brought over.

Are you not the one that convinced me to agree to this competition? Are you not the one that suggested that we should enter here? Now that we are in trouble, you are only thinking about getting away, while forgetting the rest of us?" Scarlet asked. She was completely incensed at this moment.

Lucas was left speechless upon hearing that. When the heck did he say that he wanted to leave alone? He had just said that he wanted to leave together with Scarlet. That would make two of them, which was obviously not alone.

Yes, it was true that he was the one that had convinced Scarlet to agree to the competition between Vincent and herself. It was simply because this was supposed to be part of the plan, to make sure that Jaden came to second tiger.

As for entering into the building, how were they supposed to be caught, while making sure that there would be no more suspicions, while he made a getaway together with Scarlet, if they did not get inside the building?

If the fight between second tiger and Jaden did not happen, then what was going to happen? Of course, this fight was not something that was supposed to take place. Instead, second tiger was supposed to use his own methods in order to convince Jaden to join him.

And if Jaden refused, he would be tortured, and Lucas would get a chance of dealing with him. Of course, it was he who had convinced second tiger to fight against Jaden.

Just as second tiger had said about convincing Jaden that he was supposed to be beneath second tiger, this was the same reason that Lucas had given him. He had told him that in case he wanted subdue Jaden, he would have to beat him up, to convince him that he was stronger than him.

This was something that even second tiger did not know about. This was a plan that he had made on his own, not wanting anybody to ruin it. He had to get away with Scarlet, so that he could get her trust.

If he managed to rescue her, he would definitely be thanked by the Johnsons, and they would owe him a favor. At that time, if he asked to marry Scarlet, it was not going to be a problem for them to agree.

After all, Lucas himself was not that bad. His appearance was quite good, and more than that, even though his background could not match that of the Williams and the Johnsons, still, it was not that far from each other.

'Since you don't want to cooperate, then I will force you to do it. You think that I will let this chance slip from me? Then you are delusional!' Lucas thought to himself.

He did not say anything else, and was having an expression that indicated that he was convinced by what Scarlet had said. He did not indicate anything about him planning to leave anymore.

Scarlet on the other hand did not care about what Lucas was planning to do. Instead, she was worried about Jaden. She understood that Jaden was strong, that was something that she had already seen herself.

But since the other party was able to investigate about Jaden, including his background from years ago, it implied that he knew that Jaden was a good fighter. Then, why was it that he looked so confident? Could it be that Jaden was not as strong as this guy was?

If that was the case, did that not imply that Jaden was in danger? Thinking about that, she got nervous. She was trying to think of a method to help Jaden, but she could not find any.

The nervous and anxious expression on her face made Lucas angrier than before. At the same time, he vowed in his heart that he would make sure that he took Scarlet for himself. He could not allow her to continue being together with Jaden.

Even if the matter concerning the two of them being in a relationship was just a rumor, he could not allow the rumor to come true. After all, if the two of them continued being beside each other, nobody could predict what would happen next between the two of them.

Jaden on the other hand had already heard the content of the conversation between Lucas and Scarlet. This was due to his improved perception. He could hear what Lucas was whispering to Scarlet, even though it was quite faint.

It seemed that Lucas was planning to get away with Scarlet. As for the reason for that, Jaden did not know. Still, he could not allow Lucas to get away with Scarlet.

"What are you thinking about? Or are you considering accepting the invitation? If you accept the invitation, then don't worry, we are not going to fight. We are simply going to spar against each other." Second tiger stated.

"Don't worry. I'm not considering accepting the invitation. Instead, I was just thinking of something else. Still, don't mind me." Jaden responded indifferently.

"Okay. Since that is the case, then let the fight begin." Second tiger stated. Then, he continued, "Since I am the one that is challenging you, I will give you three moves. You are allowed to attack three times. After you make three attacks, that is when I will begin my counter attack."

Well, Jaden had not expected to be given such a chance. So, he was definitely going to use it to the maximum.

"Then I won't decline that chance." Jaden responded.

The next moment after he said those words, he had already made a move. The gap between the two of them was just about 2 meters. At first, he was moving slowly, just like an ordinary person.

But when the gap between the two of them had been reduced considerably, Jaden suddenly increased his speed. This immediately caught second tiger off-guard.

Second tiger had not expected that Jaden was this fast. By the time that he reacted, the punch thrown by Jaden had already arrived in front of his face.

Bam!

The punch connected, and second tiger immediately felt a little light-headed. The punch had squarely landed on his nose bridge. He staggered a little, while trying to regain his balance.

By the time that he stabilized himself, Jaden had already launched yet another attack. It was a knee to the belly.

Bam!

Second tiger felt incredible pain, as he held his stomach, while bending down. Immediately, he knelt onto the ground with one knee, as he tried as much as possible to hold back from vomiting everything that he had eaten not long ago.

For the first attack, Jaden held back. He did not use his full strength. But for the second one, he used more than 50% of his strength. Immediately, second tiger was overwhelmed.

One should not underestimate Jaden's current strength. The physique enhancing pill had managed to improve Jaden's strength by three times. One had to know that previously, Jaden had already been a little stronger than an ordinary person, after he got a little stronger due to the healing of the system.

But after taking that pill, he became three times stronger than before. Of course, he was already way beyond the limits of an ordinary person. Even the gym enthusiasts would not be able to match with Jaden at all.

Having used more than 50% of his strength, second tiger was bound to feel that his innards were about to come out through his mouth.

At this moment, second tiger's eyes were completely wide open, as he tried to endure the pain that he was experiencing. But no matter how much he held his belly, nothing changed. The pain was still there, and it did not show any signs of subsiding.

While second tiger was still trying to endure the pain, Jaden had already arrived next to him. He grabbed him by his left arm, before he suddenly flung him from the ground.

Second tiger who was experiencing the pain suddenly felt his body going light. Then in the next moment, he felt the wind blowing by his face. When he realized that he was in the air, it was too late.

Bam!

Second tiger crashed into another person. Immediately, the two of them collapsed onto the ground, while the entire room descended into a moment of silence.
