The Bodyguard System

Chapter 271: Street Chase

The streets were extremely chaotic. Two vehicles were rushing at an incredible speed within the streets. Had it not been for the fact that most of the drivers on the road reacted almost instinctively, and drove their cars to the side, including the fact that the drivers of the two cars possessed incredible driving skills, many accidents would have really happened.

Even though the two cars were not involved in the accidents, that did not imply that the other cars were not. Instead, several cars kept on crushing into other cars, or even knocking other people down.

Many people were getting injured, while property was being destroyed. But, the two drivers did not seem to care about that, as they continued charging down the streets, taking turns from left to right.

Of course, due to how fast the two vehicles were moving, it was inevitable that they would attract the attention of the traffic police. So, several police cars were already chasing after them, with their sirens on.

But, it was impossible for those cars to be able to catch up to the two vehicles. It was clear that the drivers that were driving the police cars did not have enough skill to be able to compete against the two drivers.

But of course, the thing that would shock most people was the fact that despite the car that was at the forefront being a Ferrari, the one that was chasing behind was actually a BMW 7 series.

There was a big contrast in the features of the two cars. One was a sports car, while another one was a luxury car. But even then, the luxury car was actually catching up to a sports car.

It was not that the car did not have the speed, it was just that the skills of the two drivers contrasted from each other. It was clear that the driver of the BMW was more skilled as compared to the one that was driving the Ferrari.

Jaden possessed a frosty expression as he continued driving. At this moment, he felt killing intent surging in his heart. He was blaming himself for being careless, but nonetheless, the priority in his mind was to get the person that was involved in kidnapping Scarlet.

Of course, the thing that made his heart tighten was the way that the car in front of him was being driven. He was afraid that the car might end up getting involved in an accident, something that might end up hurting Scarlet in the end.

At the same time, he could not tell the condition that Scarlet was in at this point. So, he was trying as hard as possible to catch up to the vehicle.

But despite the skills that he possessed, it was proving a little difficult for him to be able to catch up. Although the distance between them had reduced significantly for the past over 10 minutes, it was still going to take a while for him to be able to catch up.

It was clear that the other party also possessed quite some skills when it came to driving. Otherwise, Jaden would have already caught up, despite driving a car that was inferior to the one that he was chasing.

Additionally, something that Jaden had also noted, it was the fact that this guy was going around without a destination. They had gone past this street two times already, and it was clear to Jaden that this guy was just driving around, to make sure that he lost him.

It was a good thing that Jaden's driving skill were top notch, as he had received them from the system. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to be able to catch up to the other party.

They had already moved from the center of the city, and had gone to the Eastern part of the city. In this part of the city, the traffic was not that high, especially considering that the Crackdown incident had happened not long ago.

So, the majority of the people were not yet willing to come back to the Eastern part of the city to continue with what they were doing before. Almost all of them were afraid that they would be targeted by gangsters.

From the way that this guy was driving around, it was clear that he was very familiar with this area. That was the reason why he was able to make sharp turns. And had it not been that Jaden was skilled, he would have definitely sped of past an area that the other party would have made a turn.

Jaden felt relieved considering that he always made sure that the gas of his car was always full. Otherwise, considering the speed that they had been going for the past 10 minutes, if they continued moving in the same way, his car would definitely deplete the fuel in a while.

The only thing that made Jaden concerned was the fact that Scarlet also possessed the same habit as himself. So, it was clear that she was having a full tank when they were going to the mall.

As the chase continued, it seemed that the other party had already realized that it was impossible for him to be able to lose Jaden. And other than that, the police cars kept on increasing.

It was clear that this commotion was big enough to be able to attract the higher-ups' attention, and perhaps Clifford had already taken action, which had led to the number of police cars that came chasing after the kidnapper to increase.

But, Jaden could also tell that this guy was also kind of informed about what was happening around. After all, all this while, they had not ran into a blockade made by the police. It was clear that there was someone that was informing him of the road that was being blocked by the police.

This made Jaden's expression turn a little more somber. It was clear that the perpetrator possessed quite some connections for them to be able to influence something like this.

Nonetheless, he continued with the chase. And in a little while, the two vehicles suddenly veered from the streets, and headed straight towards the outskirts of the city.

And now, considering that they were out of the streets, something that was limiting the two vehicles, the two vehicles suddenly began accelerating.

And in a little while, they had already begun moving at a speed of over 100 miles an hour. This was a tremendous speed, something that shocked the road users that were on the road near the outskirts of the city.

As for the police cars that were chasing after them, they had already been left behind. They could not catch up to the two drivers at all. They were completely outclassed.

In this situation, Jaden could finally go all out. Even though he was concerned about Scarlet, previously, he had to consider other factors as well. It was impossible for him to completely ignore the lives of other people, just to save Scarlet.

So, although he had been using his skills, it was impossible for him to be able to show them fully, when he had to consider the lives of other people on the road. But now, considering that there were fewer vehicles on the road, it was just the best condition for him to exhibit his full skills.

Considering that his reflexes were currently improved, he was able to drive at a higher speed, a speed that other people could not handle, or react to in case of an unexpected situation.

Scarlet's Ferrari could go to a speed of up to 210 miles an hour. As for Jaden's BMW, it could reach a speed of 155 miles an hour.

Even though the speed could reach a speed of 210 miles per hour, that did not imply that the one that was driving could actually handle the car that was moving at such a speed. This was impossible, after all the road was being used by other people, making it impossible for him to go all out using the car.

But for Jaden, that was completely not the case with him. Other than the skills that he possessed, there was also the strengthening that he had received from the physique enhancing pill.

With that, even though the car had already gone past 110 mph, he was capable of handling the car well, making turns where necessary, and drifting where there need be.

So, in a short while, the distance between them that had been more than 20 m was shortened to only less than 10 m. And as time continued moving, the gap was closing in.

At this point, the two vehicles had already moved from the city, and were already in the outskirts. It would not take that long for them to be able to finally leave the city entirely.

But of course, that was something that Jaden was planning not to happen. So, he decided to take a gamble. He activated the navigation system of the car, and observed the road on the map.

He was trying to look, to see if there was going to be a sharp bend ahead, or perhaps a shortcut that he could use. But he was disappointed to realize that there was none at all.

Currently, on the sides of the road, there was thick vegetation, something that was going to make it impossible for him to be able to drive through.

Left with no other choice, Jaden had to follow behind the car. In any case, he was about to catch up. So, he stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed, and the car was suddenly moving at a speed of 130 miles an hour, but the speed was still increasing.
