The Bodyguard System

Chapter 205: Chaos, Confusion

In the face of the gang that was rushing towards them, Jaden did not panic. Instead, he took a deep breath as he prepared himself to fight.

His attitude and composure was a stack difference to Scarlet who seemed tense. Despite knowing that Jaden was strong, Scarlet could not help but be worried. After all, Lucas had already seen Jaden's strength, so, unless he lost his mind, he would resort to attacking Jaden recklessly.

Scarlet had interacted with Lucas for quite a long time since they were in high school. For that reason, she understood that Lucas was not someone that would just do things without thinking.

This could be an exception as Scarlet had seen the anger on Lucas' face, which was even more impossible to hide from his voice. So, perhaps he had not thought of a plan this time?

Despite the doubts that she was having, the gangsters charging over did not allow her any more time to think. They arrived in front of her and immediately attacked.

The one that she was facing was a young man with his hair dyed blue. He had several tattoos on the parts of his body that were exposed, and he was wielding a hockey stick.

Swoosh!

The sound of the air being cut apart could be heard as the hockey stick approached her with great momentum. This guy was not holding back at all as he attacked.

Scarlet was able to react as she dodged, though barely. At this moment, she suddenly realized that there was something off about the guy that had just attacked.

The speed that the hockey stick swung towards her was definitely not something that an ordinary crook could achieve. This was obviously a fighter!

While she was thinking of that, she managed to dodge once again. This time, she attacked with a kick towards the other party's thigh.

But just as she thought that she was going to manage to land the attack, the guy that she was attacking suddenly raised his leg, using his knee to block the kick.

At this moment, Scarlet immediately realized that this group did not just have one person that was good at fighting. Instead, it seemed that the entire group was a group of fighters.

Even though they were not great fighters individually, when they ganged on her, Scarlet was having a hard time, especially considering that they all had weapons while she didn't.

She had considered going into the room behind her to get something as a weapon, but that idea was immediately dismissed when the group of gangsters blocked the way in.

Even though Scarlet had been fighting many people at the same time during those gangster hunts, it was completely different now. These were not just any motley crew, instead, it was a group that had skills, no matter how little.

Just as Scarlet was getting overwhelmed, she suddenly noticed something from the corner of her eye. She seemed to be seeing that people were…. Flying.

Though, their flight was bound to be short-lived and uncomfortable considering that there was not that much space in the area that they were currently fighting in.

Bang! Thud!

The person that she had noticed flew to the air, hit hard on the concrete that was acting as the floor of the building above them. Then, he fell towards the group, falling on his colleagues.

The others wanted to dodge but they could not. Approximately, there were over twenty of them here, confined in a small space. This was initially a method that they had wanted to use to make sure that neither Scarlet nor Jaden get away.

But now, with them in such a tight space, it was impossible to make sudden rapid maneuvers to dodge. The only ones with that chance were those that were fighting with Jaden and Scarlet already.

Scarlet had been dumbfounded, and so, she did not focus on the fight. If only the gangsters that were attacking her had not also been dumbfounded by what was happening, they would have definitely managed to get to take down Scarlet.

In the space that was just about 3 meters wide, Jaden was rampaging. This time, he did not hold back that much as he attacked. And for that reason, every time that his attack landed, the person targeted would collapse onto the ground.

Most of them would pass out due to the pain of having a broken bone or two, while others were unlucky to continue being conscious. They had no choice but to scream in pain as they clutched where they had been injured.

It could be said that the area around Jaden was filled with screams and people flying left and right. Around Jaden was the only place other than the room that had some open space.

Having already realized the horror of facing Jaden, most if the gangsters were already trying to retreat. It was just that it was impossible for them to leave as while they were struggling to climb up the stairs, those on top kept on pushing, wanting to rush ahead.

If there was a chance, there was no doubt that those that were retreating would have allowed those idiots to charge forward. But now, there was the problem of they, who knew what they were facing, being pushed towards danger by the clueless ones.

This made them desperate as they began shouting at the others that had yet to know what was happening below to retreat. A few of them that had just managed to get a view of Jaden were dumbfounded when they saw Jaden fighting.

At that moment, they also turned around and began pushing towards the opposite direction. Initially, they had been anticipating to deal with the two, as the pay was quite good, too good to be precise.

But now, they had no choice but to dash away. Just a few tens of thousands of dollars for my bones?! Absolutely not! That's unacceptable.

That was what they were thinking, or along those lines, as they pushed to get away. None of them wanted to approach the inhumane Jaden. So, the entire place became chaotic with shouts, screams, pulls and push.

Jaden did not care about them as he attacked while heading towards Scarlet. For the completion of the mission, Scarlet had to be safe. So, he made his way there.

With him coming over, the group of gangsters that were attacking Scarlet immediately joined the rest in retreating. At this moment, they did not want anything to do with these two, specifically Jaden.

Those who were on the ground screaming in pain, upon noticing that their colleagues were retreating, they shouted at them, hoping to be given a hand to leave here as well.

But those that were escaping did not pay attention to them at all. You want me to help you? Who is going to help me if I end up in the same situation as you when I try taking you out of here?!

In a few seconds, Jaden had managed to arrive next to Scarlet. He was relieved when he noticed that she was okay. At least, for the time being, the mission can still be completed.

But of course, for the mission to be completed, they would have to make sure that Alfie and his family were fine. Otherwise, this mission would be a failure.

Lucas on the other hand, just after he had ordered the goons that he had brought to attack, he had a wide crazy smile etched on his lips.

He could already imagine the way that Jaden and Scarlet would be screaming while begging for mercy while being beaten up.

But suddenly, he heard and saw something that made him feel that there was something wrong. He looked towards the lower end of the staircase to see what was actually happening to make people to suddenly begin flying up while screaming.

He was currently sitting on a wheelchair, making it impossible to see what was actually happening. After all, there were still people at the start of the stairs, with their height making it impossible to see below.

Just to be cautious, he used the automatic mode of the wheelchair to move backwards. He did not want to end up in the chaotic fight and get implicated.

But then , he suddenly noticed that the screams had increased. More than that, there were shouts of others screaming 'retreat!'. From their voices, Lucas could hear the terror in them.

Then suddenly, another thing that made him dumbfounded happened next. The group that was so fervently charging forward suddenly turned around and began rushing in the opposite direction.

While he was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react, a few people had already reached where he was. Then without sparing him a glance, they charged away as if they were running away from death itself.

Then, a large number of people came over in threes and fours. A few of them even did something that flabbergasted and angered him the most.

When one of them went past him, he slapped at Lucas' head. Since he had not expected something like that, Lucas did not have a chance of reacting at all when a slap landed on his head.

Then another landed on his cheek, before a punch landed on his chest. As he was trying to deal with the pain, the wheelchair that he was sitting on was suddenly stomped, making it moved backwards.

Then, another attack landed on him, making him lean on one side. As the wheelchair was still moving, it suddenly lost balance when he leaned on one side and….it fell on the ground together with Lucas.
