The Bodyguard System

The moment that he fell on to the ground, Lucas screamed in pain and anger. After all, the impact of falling from the wheelchair was not small at all. Additionally, the leg had not yet healed, and it was impacted so heavily.

With that, the pain that had subsided with him taking minimal activities with that leg, suddenly erupted once again. At this moment, Lucas was reminded of the time that Jaden had broken that leg of his.

And at this moment, it was the group of gangsters that he had hired using a lot of money, that had ended up injuring him once again. Of course, it was impossible for a broken leg to heal in just a matter of less than a week.

But nonetheless, at least, by now, the pain that he had been undergoing had begun subsiding, even though it had not completely elapsed. But now, after falling onto the ground, the pain had come back, as if the leg had just been broken at this moment.

Lucas understood that it was impossible for him to walk in this situation. So, he tried as much as possible to ignore the pain, as he went ahead and tried picking up the wheelchair. Well, it could be said that he just wanted to get it up.

But he had not even managed to begin trying to lift the wheelchair from the ground, and put it back in position, when suddenly, two more people came over running. Then, when they saw him struggling with the wheelchair, somehow, one of them even went ahead and grabbed the wheelchair, and pulled it as he ran away.

The speechless Lucas could only hear the words left behind, "You have not yet paid us for the job. I will take this wheelchair and sell it as compensation for what you have made us go through today."

Lucas was of course fuming. At this moment, he had already forgotten about Jaden and Scarlet. Instead, he thought to himself, that after he got out of here, he would go looking for these people once again.

How dare they do this to him? They had to pay for their crimes, and they were going to pay with their lives, applicable to those that had dared to lay their hands on him.

While he was thinking of that, the group had already disappeared, leaving him being the only person within the corridor. At that moment, he finally came back to his senses.

With a group of goons that he had hired running away, it was clear that he no longer had any form of protection against Jaden. He did not know the current condition that Jaden was in, or the reason why this group of people had run away, still, he understood that it was a bad idea for him to continue staying here.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had no other choice but to get out of this place. Otherwise, if Jaden found him, Lucas could not tell what that devil would do to him.

Of course, he understood that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to take revenge on Jaden and Scarlet, if they had not been hurt by the attack that had been launched by the group that he had sent over. Still, it was better for him to live than to continue staying here, only to end up dying at the hands of his enemy.

So, even though he was experiencing a lot of pain, he struggled to drag himself on the ground, as he headed towards the bar. He just hoped that along the way, he would be able to meet a person that would help him get out of this place.

It would be easy for him to be able to get out of here as long as Harry helped him. So, he had to find Harry first. He was after all part of the plan that he had orchestrated in order for him to take revenge and get out of this country.

Jaden on the other hand did not pay much attention on the group of gangsters that was running away. It could be said that they were quite lucky that they had run away. Otherwise, Jaden would have not hesitated to break a few of their bones.

Now, after ensuring that Scarlet was okay, the two of them began walking at the stairs. They passed in the middle of groaning people, or others that were currently unconscious.

Scarlet took this chance to look at the people that were groaning on the ground. Just by looking at them, she could not help but get horrified. Even though she had seen Jaden taking action previously, when he was attacking Lucas, ending up breaking his leg, this was completely different.

It was not just one person here. Instead, there were more than seven of them. And each and every one of them had an area that a bone had been broken. Those that have been previously screaming were trying as much as possible to muffle their screams, in fear that they might end up attracting Jaden's attention.

At the same time, they dragged their bodies to the side, to make way for Jaden to leave. It was good enough that he did not want to kill them. Otherwise, they would not have a chance of resisting at all.

Scarlet on the other hand was having a big question in her mind. Was all of this done by Jaden? Just how strong was he? Was he even a human? After all, she had never seen a human who was capable of breaking human bones, without using any weapon.

Perhaps breaking the door could be explained as the door being fragile, even though she thought that this was just an excuse that you could come up with in her mind. But nonetheless, at least the breaking of the door would be explained.

But what about all these people that had their bones broken? How was that supposed to be explained? Their bones were kind of fragile? That was an impossibility, unless all of them suffered from the same sickness that made their bones brittle.

While she was thinking of that, the two of them finally arrived in the corridor that led to the bar. Of course, Jaden could have simply rushed forward, in order to make sure that the mission was completed by trying to look for where Alfie was, but he did not do so.

He was not sure If the group that had run away was going to come back again or not. So, he had to ensure that he was close to Scarlet, so that nothing like what had happened not long ago could repeat itself.

After all, when the battle was about to start, the two of them, Jaden and Scarlett were quite close to each other. But just as the group was about to reach and attack them, Scarlet suddenly moved away.

Jaden was not sure about the ideas that were going through Scarlett's mind at that moment, but of course, he was not happy about that. That was a great risk, something that might have led to the failure of the mission.

The two of them suddenly stopped after walking past a corner. In front of them was none other than Lucas, who was still trying as much as possible to drag himself out of this place.

Initially, Jaden had thought that as the group of gangsters ran away, they had actually taken Lucas with them. But from the looks of it, it seemed that it was not the case. Even Lucas's wheelchair had somehow disappeared.

Well, when he thought about it, just from the way that the wheelchair appeared, it seemed that it was quite expensive. Jaden did not doubt that it caused a few thousand dollars to buy that wheelchair.

Lucas who was having hope in his heart suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. His movements suddenly froze. Then, with great difficulty, he craned his neck to look back.

At that moment, he suddenly saw the people that he did not want to see at this moment. Jaden and Scarlet were both looking at him, doing nothing but just staring.

At this moment, looking at them as they stared at him, he felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious wolf. That was especially from Jaden, whose eyes were leaking with killing intent.

Jaden began moving, as he approached Lucas. And when Lucas noticed that, he immediately tried to get away from him. But it was difficult for him, who had managed to drag himself this far using all his strength, while enduring the pain that he was undergoing, to be able to get away from Jaden who was walking towards him with steady steps.

Finally, Jaden arrived where Lucas was. The moment that he caught up with him, Lucas no longer dragged himself away. He understood that it was useless for him to struggle anymore. He just hoped that Jaden would not do something like killing him.

At least for now, he could take having another of his leg broken. Even if he lost both of his legs, he would appreciate as long as he could get out of this place alive. After all, it was never too late to take revenge.

"Scarlet, you can go ahead. Wait for me outside the bar. Additionally, try to look for Alfie. See if he is safe." Jaden suddenly spoke, startling Scarlet was already contemplating on what Jaden was going to do to Lucas.
