The Bodyguard System

Chapter 221: Ben's Offer

"…My name is Ben Raymond. And I am the official and true leader of the tiger gang."

Jaden immediately understood when Ben introduced himself. It turned out that the reason why he had asked if Jaden knew about the tiger gang was simply because he was the leader of the gang.

Nonetheless, Jaden was quite curious about how this guy had come to find him. And more than that, why was it that he was looking for him? Could it be that he had gotten some clue about the reason why the tiger gang had been wiped out?

But Jaden thought that the probability of something like that being true was extremely low. After all, other than himself, all the other people that were together with Scott had been wiped out.

So, maybe there was a person that had seen Jaden going into that building, where the tiger gang had been wiped out. And perhaps that was the source of the information that Ben had received.

But if Ben could get that information, why couldn't the police? And if the police had gotten information that Jaden was at that place where several people were murdered, they would have definitely come looking for him.

It did not matter if those that had been killed were criminals or not. Jaden would be required to give a statement of what had happened during the time that he was there. But until today, not even a single police officer had come looking for him.

Despite the surprise that he was having, Jaden did not say anything. He simply remained quiet, while looking at Ben.

Ben did not expect Jaden to say anything. So, after introducing himself, he asked, "I'm quite curious if you know how my entire gang had been wiped out? You are the only person with quite some capability, that had been in conflict with my gang."

"It might be true that my gang had been in a conflict with another gang, but they definitely do not possess the capability of wiping out second tiger and the others. And, for some reason, the entire crew of my gang had been killed in the same way. This implies that they were killed with the same person." Ben analyzed.

"If that is what you came here to ask me about, then you found the wrong person. To tell the truth, if possible, I would have wanted to wipe out the entire gang personally. But someone beat me to it." Jaden responded as he shrugged.

Ben raised his brows upon here in Jaden's response. He had been observing Jaden's movements, and had been paying much attention to his reaction, together with the tone of his voice.

From the way that Jaden was speaking, there was nothing that gave away that he was lying. And, that was actually the truth. After all, Jaden had not killed the tiger gang, considering that it was Scott who had done so. Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Jaden truly intended to deal with the tiger gang, and he was intending on killing second tiger. But nonetheless, he did not get the opportunity of doing that. But, he did not feel that much disappointed, considering that Scott had done that to help him, making sure that he was not going to be investigated.

Ben remained silent for a while upon hearing Jaden's response. He was contemplating for a while, before asking, "Then, do you perhaps have any clue about who it was that killed my entire gang? If you tell me the information, I will reward you with something better. You can decide on what you would want me to give you."

"No idea. I'm just a bodyguard. As long as somebody doesn't cross my path, I don't really pay much attention to them. So, I have no information about what really happened, or who did that." Jaden responded indifferently.

"Okay then. Since that is the case, I will take my leave. But, my offer still stands. If you get any information about who wiped out my gang, just make a call." Ben stated as he left a card on the table, as he stood up.

Then, he turned around, and left. After reaching the entrance, he stopped and turned around to look at Jaden. Then, with a cold glint in his eyes, he said, "The offer is only available if you are not involved. But if I find that you are actually involved in the wiping out of my entire gang, then, you shall get the opposite of the reward that I offered."

After saying those words, he opened the door, and left. Just like he had arrived, he left with confident strides.

Jaden looked at the door that had already been closed once again. He was the only one remaining within the private room, but Ben's presence still lingered in the air.

Jaden could not help but wonder about the background that Ben possessed. From the way that he carried himself, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person.

It was also at this moment that Jaden realized that the tiger gang was definitely not ordinary. At least, the leader of the tiger gang was not an ordinary person.

The only person that Jaden had ever interacted with was none other than second tiger. But so far, Jaden had not found anything unique about second tiger. But now, with Ben's presence, Jaden understood.

Second tiger was second tiger simply because he was the second in command of the tiger gang. And now, the true leader of the gang had come. Still, Jaden wondered if Ben was really serious about that gang.

If he possess influence and capability of finding about Jaden, even knowing where Jaden was currently at, it was not impossible for him to be able to make the tiger gang to be the strongest gang in the entire city.

But, the tiger gang within the city was definitely not among the top gangs. It might be quite a good gang, with some considerable reputation within the underworld, but it was definitely not the highest.

In the end, Jaden simply shook his head. There was no need for him to think about this matter for the time being. In any case, it was almost impossible for Ben to be able to tell that Jaden was related to Scott, who had killed the entire tiger gang.

So, Jaden decided to focus on the present. After making sure that Scarlet and the others continued their activities as usual, Jaden went back to scrolling, trying to look for where he could invest, but even better, he could earn much more money all at once.

It was too bad that the system did not allow him to use the rebate card on the money that he had been given as a gift, or had borrowed from somebody else. Otherwise, Jaden would have just gone to Clifford, borrowed some money, before returning after using the rebate card on it.

After thinking hard, Jaden finally decided. It was almost impossible for him to be able to get a large amount of money with his current situation. That was unless he decided to sell the villa that he had gotten within Maco community, which was not something that Jaden even considered.

It was time for him to go and claim the documents from the company that he had taken 51% shares of. The problem with the system was the fact that other than completing the procedures for him, it did not give him the documents that proved his ownership of the shares.

So, Jaden had to look for the time, to personally go and take the documents. And other than taking the documents, Jaden was thinking about getting some money from the company.

But before that idea could solidify in his mind, Jaden asked, 'System, I hope that the money that I will be getting from that company, will not be considered as being given to me as a loan, right?'

[The host is right. Since the host owns 51% shares of the company, if the host withdraws a certain amount of money from the company, it is not considered as borrowing money from the company. Instead, it is right for the host to do that, as he owns the majority of the shares within the company.]

Upon hearing the system's response, Jaden was relieved. This was the only way that he could get a large amount of money, considering that he had no any other source of money for the time being.

It was not that he had not thought of the bar and the dynamic nightclub that Ruby had given him. But, the amount of money that was coming from those two businesses was not enough.

Additionally, the card could only work on one source of money, or where he had invested. It could not be used on the income from two different places at the same time.

Despite thinking of that, Jaden would have to look for another chance to go out. With Scarlet currently out, it was impossible for him to go to the company. But, it was not impossible for him to be able to get a few hours to go there and pick up the documents.

About 2 hours later, Scarlet and her group of friends finally came out of their private room. Jaden also came out of his own private room, and they left the hotel.

Scarlet was not intending on going back at home at all. Instead, she decided to venture around the city, just for the sake of it. Jaden did not say anything, and accompanied her, as she visited several malls, doing window shopping.
