The Bodyguard System

Chapter 220: Ben Raymond

The moment that Jaden got back to the Johnson residence, he immediately went out with Scarlet. Scarlet claimed that she wanted to meet up with a few friends of hers, because there was something that they needed to discuss.

Jaden did not need to know much about the reason why Scarlet was going out. As for why she had told him, Jaden was not sure about it. In any case, he accompanied her, and the two of them went out.

This time, they met inside a hotel, instead of a club like the previous time. The group of friends that Scarlet was talking about was Christine and the others.

Of course, Christine was a little excited after seeing Jaden. She had not given up on the idea of having Jaden working as her bodyguard. As for the issue concerning her cosmetics company, Jaden was not sure about it, considering that he had not been paying much attention to that matter after they had dealt with it back then.

But since there were no complaints, and from the radiant expression on Christine's face, it seemed that things had gone quite well. So, Jaden simply went ahead, booked another private room adjacent to the one that they were currently in, and stayed in there, while eating.

He was not that much worried at this moment, considering that there was no mission that was offered. But nonetheless, he used his extremely sensitive senses in order to listen carefully.

They were inside a cheap 3-star hotel. And for that reason, the soundproofing was not that good for the private rooms. In any case, to the normal ears, the soundproofing was quite good. But to Jaden, it was not that effective.

Regardless, Jaden was just paying attention, in case he could hear the sound of commotion coming from the other end. At that moment, he would immediately take action, and go and check out what was going on.

He already understood that he was not going to receive missions always. So, there might be points that Scarlet might be in danger, but the mission was not offered.

While he was doing this, he kept on scrolling his phone. At this moment, he was trying to think of a method that he was going to use the rebate cards that he had gotten from the system.

He had already spent $2 million on the apartment that previously belonged to Scott. Of course, 2 million dollars was enough for him to be able to construct another apartment, just like the previous one, but a little better. Nonetheless, Jaden was not having such intentions.

Instead, he was intending to add about 2 million dollars to the money that he had already given to the construction company that he had signed a contact with. That way, not only would they complete the demolition of the apartment previously owned by Scott, but they would be able to rebuild another apartment of the same make, but with better materials.

Jaden understood that it was a waste for him to construct such an expensive apartment block in such a rural area. Most of the people living within the Eastern part of the city were quite poor.

So, it was impossible for him to be able to get his money back, just by relying on the rent. In fact, if he set the rent that high, it was impossible to say if there was a person that was going to live inside that apartment block.

Even if it was a good property, and could attract those rich people, who would come to an area that was infested with gangsters? The area was completely insecure, and so, most of the rich people would avoid it. But in any case, he just went ahead with it.

He had no plan of earning much from this apartment. But in case in the future he somehow managed to get more money, he might as well construct a community of his own in this area.

As hard as it was, it was also a goal in his mind, though it was not given that much of a priority. But, to Jaden, it was definitely not impossible, considering that he had a system that could give him something like the appearance shifting watch, and the technology upgrade card.

As Jaden continued scrolling through his phone, trying to look for the ideas that he could get that could earn him a lot of money all at once, he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door.

Jaden could not help but frown upon not saying that. Could it be that it was one of the hotel staff members that had come over? But as long as he could remember, other than the food that was already served for him, he did not request for any other services.

Just as Jaden was contemplating on who it was, the door into the private room was suddenly opened. This stunned Jaden, considering that most of the time, people would definitely wait until they were allowed in, before coming in.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit. He possessed brown eyes, with long green hair that reached his shoulders. He possessed a slim body stature, and looked neat with the way that he was dressed.

The man possessed an indifferent expression on his face, as he walked into the private room. He completely ignored Jaden who was gazing at him, and took a seat on the table, directly opposite from Jaden.

Then, he invited himself, as he began serving the food on the table, before he began eating. Every action that he took was with elegance, and indifference.

Jaden watched as the man in front of him did all that, without saying anything. He was quite curious about the reason why this guy had come over. At the same time, he was wondering, why was it that some people that he did not even know, kept on approaching him?

Previously, it was those two guys that approached him, claiming that he had cost them problems. And now, there was another one, that came here, acting as if he owned this place.

Well, that might be true. But despite that, Jaden did not care, considering that this private room had been paid for by himself. So, it was definitely not good for this guy to act like that.

Still, Jaden would not just go ahead and lash out at the other party. Instead, he wanted to understand the intentions of this guy coming over.

Since he did not know what this guy had come to do here, Jaden had paid much more attention to what was happening in the adjacent private room. But until now, he had not noticed anything unusual. Still, his guard was up.

About 5 minutes later, the middle-aged man finally stopped eating. Then, he gazed at Jaden for the first time, and spoke, "You are quite a patient person, Jaden. You know, most of the people would have already asked about who I am, or they might have as well tried to chase me out of this private room."

Jaden did not respond, as he did not have to. In any case, he just wanted to know what the other party wanted to do here. And if he just came to eat and leave, then there was no problem with that. In any case, Jaden had ordered a lot of food, and he did not mind the one that had been eaten by this guy.

Seemingly not minding Jaden not responding, the man continued. "I know that you are quite curious about my identity, and the reason why I am here. You know, the reason that I came here today, is to personally see you."

Jaden was a little confused. The other party knew who he was, but Jaden didn't. Of course, this was something that would rise alarm bells in anybody. So of course, Jaden was cautious of the other party.

"Okay, I will stop going in a round-about talk. So, I will ask you, do you perhaps know the tiger gang?" The man asked, as he put down the cutlery that he was using to eat.

As he asked that question, he gazed directly into Jaden's eyes, while placing his hands on the table. His actions were quite normal, but despite that, Jaden noticed some uniqueness within those actions.

Nonetheless, Jaden was a little surprised by the question. It had been quite some time now ever since he had heard of the tiger gang. The higher ups of that gang had been completely wiped out by Scott.

Since the gang had already been dealt with, Jaden had not been paying much attention to them anymore. In any case, the person that he was having a conflict with was second tiger. And since he was dead, why was he supposed to be involved with that gang anymore?

"I cannot claim that I know them, but I have heard of them." Jaden responded.

"That's good. I already know that you had some interaction with them, and in fact, there was a conflict between you and them. And that is the main reason why I came to see you today." The middle-aged man stated after nodding.

Jaden simply raised his brows, wondering why this guy had come looking for him. Of course, he did not think that this guy was here because he thought that Jaden had killed the tiger gang.

Instead, the only relationship that Jaden could perhaps match with this guy coming looking for him, was definitely Scott. Could it be that this guy was actually part of the group that Scott talked about?

Just as Jaden was wondering about the identity of the other party, the man spoke again. This time, there was a little fluctuation on his expression. "I'm pretty sure that you are guessing much about my identity. So, let me introduce myself. My name is Ben Raymond. And I am the official and true leader of the tiger gang."
