The Bodyguard System

Scarlet did not react even after a few seconds had gone by. She was not sure on how to react in this situation, as she looked at Jaden with a blank expression on her face.

Jaden could not help but frown when he saw that. He repeated, "Go ahead. I will be coming after I deal with this guy. Additionally, try to look for Alfie and his family. See if they are safe or not."

Of course, Jaden was taking a gamble here. He was not sure if the compulsory part of the mission only involved where Scarlet was in danger, or the entirety of the mission as a whole.

At least for now, with that group of gangsters having run away, it could be said that Scarlet was temporarily safe. Of course, Jaden hoped that Lucas did not have another plan that he was going to use after the first one failed.

"Okay." Scarlet responded after a moment of hesitation. She was not sure about what Jaden wanted to do to Lucas, but at this moment, she did not care.

As for the hesitation that she was having before, it was just that she was genuinely curious about what Jaden was planning. She just hoped that Jaden would not kill.

The previous time that he had ended up killing a person, that issue had been taken care of by her family. Taking care of an issue concerning murder was not that simple, even for a big family like the Johnsons.

It was a good thing that nobody had gone to investigate about that matter. It was as if that guy had nobody that cared about him. So, that issue was taken care of just like that.

But if Jaden ended up killing Lucas, things would be completely different. While it might be true that the Browns did not react after Lucas had gotten his leg broken, it could be said that it was a deserved punishment.

Well, it was more like Jaden had forgiven Lucas for what he had done. At the end of it all, if Jaden had not been strong enough, he would have definitely been killed by second tiger.

But in exchange for someone trying to kill him, Jaden had only broken the other party's leg. So, to a big extent, that was a huge favor that Jaden had done to Lucas, who did not seem to appreciate it at all.

But, if Jaden killed Lucas, the Browns would definitely not sit idly. It might be true that the Johnsons possessed more influence as compared to the Browns, it was not the extent that they could completely ignore the other party.

Additionally, they could simply use this chance and collaborate with the Williams, in order to make sure that the Johnsons surrendered the person who had killed Lucas.

That was of course something that Scarlet did not want to see happening. Still, she did not say anything, and just hoped in her heart that Jaden would not do anything excessive to Lucas.

Jaden looked at Scarlet, and was only relieved after she had left. Then, he shifted his attention back to Lucas. After contemplating for a moment, Jaden suddenly kicked towards the other leg that was not wrapped in a cast.

Bam! Crack! Aaaah!

Jaden did not hold back at all. This time, he actually used his full strength to attack. And so, the moment that his foot connected with Lucas's leg, the leg broke immediately.

Even though it was true that it had not snapped, to the extent that the two parts that had broken were separated from each other, still, one could easily see the weird shape that the leg had taken.

Even Jaden himself was a little startled by the results. He had not expected that he was actually going to be capable of doing something like that, and quite easily too.

Though, he felt his foot was slightly numb. But considering the impact, this was definitely something beyond normal understanding of the human body.

In any case, at this moment, Jaden thought of the physique enhancing pill. This time, if he completed the mission, he would be able to get two of them. Currently, his strength was already three times the previous time he had been strengthened when he was healed by the system.

And if he ended up increasing his strength by three times, then another three times, that would be him increasing his strength by nine times the one that he currently had. At that time, how monstrous would he be?

Jaden did not continue thinking much about it. He was not even sure if the mission was going to be completed or not. But one thing was clear to him, he had to make sure that he killed Lucas.

In any case, this guy, just after having his leg broken, he came with a group of gangsters that were quite good at fighting, to deal with him and Scarlet. And now that Jaden had broken his other leg, Jaden did not doubt that this guy would come with a gun the next time.

Such a risk was something that Jaden did not want to take. So, after hesitating for a moment, he went ahead and broke Lucas's hands as well. This would definitely ensure that Lucas would not be able to run away.

Even if he wiggled, he would undergo a lot of pain. Additionally, he would not be able to move for a long distance. So, after making sure that everything was in place, Jaden suddenly went back to the basement.

He looked at the group that was still wailing on the ground, though in low voices. Then he said, "I don't want to see you guys here. I'm going to give you 30 minutes. Within 30 minutes, you have to ensure that you and your colleagues are out of this place. I don't want to see anybody inside here."

Immediately after saying those words, he entered into the room, and closed the door behind him. Then, he activated the appearance shifting watch, and took another person's appearance.

Of course, the appearance that he had taken was of one of the gangsters that had attacked him and Scarlet today. After that, the outfit that he currently put on by the use of the appearance shifting watch was black clothes, just like the other party was wearing, and a hoodie.

Then, Jaden walked out of the room, with his face covered in a hoodie. When the group of gangsters saw him, they were dumbfounded. They were not sure who it was, considering that they did not notice anybody else other than Jaden entering that room.

"Hey you, help us out. Take us out of this place right now, before that maniac comes back." One of them suddenly shouted at Jaden who had transformed.

Currently, Jaden possessed a bulky physique, with a height of about 2 meters. He was completely different from his normal appearance, and Jaden did not doubt that they would not be able to link this guy here and himself.

Jaden of course completely ignored those that were trying to ask him to help them. Instead, he moved and went to the corridor, where he found that Lucas was still lying on the ground.

Looking at the current position that Lucas was in, and remembering where he had left him, Jaden could tell that this guy had not given up. He was clearly struggling to get away.

The moment that Lucas saw him coming over, he could not help but feel that there was hope. Even though the group that he had brought over to help him deal with Jaden and Scarlet had ended up betraying him, to the extent of leaving him here to die, at least, he believed that he would be able to convince one of them to help him.

"Hey, help me get out of this place, and take me to the hospital. I will… I will give you $1 million the moment that you take me to the hospital, or call for an ambulance." Lucas stated with a shaky voice, as he looked at the man who was coming over with hope in his eyes.

But when he looked in the eyes of the other party, all that he met was extreme coldness and killing intent. At that moment, Lucas was once again dumbfounded. What had he done? What had he done that the people that he had come together with in order to deal with Jaden and Lucas, had suddenly turned against him?

This was something that he had failed to understand until now. He had been hearing screams before, and in the next moment, the group suddenly began running away. Since he had already retreated from the staircase, he could not see what had happened below there.

"I will give you a hand. I will help you by making sure that you don't experience the pain that you are currently undergoing anymore. I will send you on your way." The man suddenly spoke up in a deep voice.

For a moment, Lucas's mind failed to grasp what the other party had said. But a few seconds later, he finally realized what the other party had said. This guy was definitely intending to kill him.

Even if he did not say those words out loud, just by looking at the expression on his face, and those cold eyes that were looking at him, Lucas wanted to run. But it was a pity that he did not have the ability anymore.

All this while, it was due to his willpower that he had been able to hold on until now. After all, it was not that easy for a person to be able to continue being conscious while experiencing the pain of having all their limbs broken.

But now, Lucas suddenly felt his consciousness blurring. He could tell that he was about to pass out. But he could not let himself to do that.

Just as he was struggling to make sure that he did not pass out, he suddenly felt himself being plunged into an endless darkness.
