The Bodyguard System

Chapter 202: A Scheme?

Jaden looked at the young girl in front of him with squinted eyes. From the girl's appearance, she seemed to be about 11 or 12 years old. She had her blonde hair tied into twin ponytails that hang behind her back.

She was standing in front of a fridge, which was on the left side of the room. She was currently looking at Jaden with her head turned to the left.

Jaden did not focus on the girl that much. Instead, he looked around the room and realized that he could not find anyone else. Nonetheless, he managed to see that there was a door, leading to another room.

While Jaden was still observing the room from outside, Alfie rushed past him and entered the room. He had already forgotten about how Jaden had seemingly easily managed to break the door open.

At this moment, his eyes and mind were all on the little girl. So, when he rushed past Jaden, he went straight towards the young girl.

The girl on the other hand was startled when she noticed that there was someone that was rushing towards her. She was completely scared that she nearly collapsed onto the ground.

She was still young after all. So, added with the fright that she had gotten from seeing a door being broken, to seeing that there was a person that was rushing towards her, she was of course scared.

But, the fear that she was experiencing suddenly turned into excitement and doubt when she saw that shining bald head. She could not help but utter doubtfully, "Brother?"

Alfie did not say anything. When he got to where the lady was, he directly embraced her. He was relieved that it seemed that nothing had happened to his sister.

But just to make sure, he stopped hugging her as he looked at her body, to see if he could find any injuries. He was only relieved when he realized that she was not injured at all.

"Alfie? What are you doing here?" At this moment, a lady's voice reached Alfie's ears.

He did not ask the question that he was intending to ask his sister, and turned around to look at the owner of the voice. It was none other than his mother. She was a lady in her late forties, with blonde hair as well.

Completely different from Alfie's younger sister, she had left her hair flowing down loosely on her back.

Alfie was relieved after he realized that just like his sister, his mother was okay as well. "I'm here to take you away from here."

"You have to go. Leave us behind and get out of here now! You have to!" The lady, Alfie's mother suddenly shouted. Her voice was filled with urgency, as if she was afraid of Alfie being here.

Alfie was confused. Was his mother not supposed to be happy that he was here to take them away from this place? But why was it that she seemed to be panicking after seeing him?

Before he could ask, he felt someone tugging his loose black shirt. He looked at his sister, only to see the same panicked expression on her face, just like of his mother's face.

"Brother, listen to mom. You have to get out of here now. Otherwise, it going to be too late." The girl stated as she looked around, as if she was afraid of getting caught doing something wrong.

Jaden on the other hand ignored Alfie as he rushed into the room. When he was listening from the door before, he had only heard movements of one person. So, it was clear that there were no gangsters within this room, something that Jaden found suspicious.

More than that, from the looks of it, it did not seem like the little girl was being treated badly while being here. So, there was definitely something fishy about the entire situation.

"Just how strong are you really Jaden?" Scarlet asked as she had approached Jaden and was now standing next to him.

"I'm not really sure about it." Jaden responded. Even though he could control his strength well, he did not know the real limit of the enhancement caused by the physique enhancing pill.

After all, after taking the pill, it was not just his physical strength that was increased, other aspects also improved. So, he was not sure to what extent they had improved yet, at least he could not tell accurately.

"Bah! As if I'm going to believe you." Scarlet responded as she pouted thinking that Jaden did not want to tell her.

Just like Jaden, she focused on what was happening in the room, and just happened to hear the lady shouting at Alfie, asking him to leave.

She was completely startled. She was confused about what was happening here. They were here to rescue someone, but the person that they wanted to rescue was actually asking them to leave? Why was she not understanding?

At this moment, Jaden's hunch had been confirmed. Everything had been going on so smoothly that he doubted that things were that simple. His doubts only intensified when they managed to get to Alfie's family without any trouble.

This was completely different from what Alfie had said before. After all, Alfie had claimed that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to take his family from here alone. But now, there were not gangsters around.

Scarlet was just about to ask the lady what was going on when she heard Jaden speaking. "As expected, they are here."

"Who?" Scarlet was confused as she looked around, wondering who was here. But despite that, she could not see anyone.

Jaden did not reply. And when Scarlet was about to lose her patience, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance.

Her expression changed drastically upon hearing the footsteps. She stared intently at the direction of the stairs, her heart rate increasing slightly.

She would not have reacted like that if it was just a single person. Instead, from the sound of footsteps approaching, she could tell that it was a crowd of people, and not few of them.

Jaden also turned around, ignoring the conversation that was ongoing between Alfie with his mother and sister. He gazed towards the staircase deeply.

Previously, he had felt that it had been too easy for them to get here. Additionally, even back in the bar, it was not normal to find that there was no staff of the bar that was paying attention to the customers.

After all, other than just trying to make sure that there was none of them that was going to try getting away without paying, if there was a customer that wanted to order something, they would have to be around.

While it could be explained that it was in the morning, which was not the peak hours of the business, still, it was impossible to have two or three staff members within the bar.

Now, it made sense. It was clear that they were being allowed to get in, but it would be extremely difficult to get out. After all, where they are now, the only exit was through the path following the staircase.

From this, the other party could easily lock them from escaping by the use of windows, unlike if they were within the bar.

While Jaden was thinking of that, a group of people suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. They were all carrying weapons including metal rods, baseball bats, hockey sticks, and even knives and machetes.

The moment that they arrived, they glared at Jaden and Scarlet with ferocious gazes. It was clear that they were trying to intimidate the two.

Still, one thing that Jaden noticed was that despite having arrived, they did not come down the stairs. They continued standing there, blocking the path, as if they were waiting for someone or an order to attack.

Alfie was still trying to grasp what his mother had told him when suddenly, he heard the commotion made by a large crowd of people approaching. When he looked at the door, he saw that both Jaden and Scarlet were looking outside the room.

From where he was, he could only see the base of the stairs, so, he could not see the gangsters. While he was craning his neck, to see what was happening, his mother suddenly spoke.

"It's over. They are already here. We are done for." The lady stated as her eyes lost all the hope.

"Who are here?" Alfie asked, even though he already had a guess in his heart after what his mother had told him.

"The goons, they are here." His sister was the one that responded this time.

Jaden and Scarlet stared at the crowd above them. The two of them were ready to take action whenever necessary. Though, they were curious about what this group was waiting for.

Just as they were contemplating on the reasons for the group of gangsters not attacking, the crowd of gangsters suddenly parted, making a path between them.

Then, Jaden and Scarlet noticed that there was a person that was coming over. This person was pushing a wheelchair, and on the wheelchair, there was someone seated on it.

The two people were completely familiar to Jaden and Scarlet. So, when they saw them, Jaden and Scarlet were dumbfounded.

Unlike the other party, the two of them revealed smiles. Then, the one that was pushing the wheelchair spoke, "Well, you came faster than I had anticipated."
