The Bodyguard System

It was just that he did not have any other choice at the moment. The two opposite lanes of the road within the tunnel were separated by a huge blockade. It was impossible for the Ferrari to be able to cross over.

The only advantage at the moment was the fact that the traffic within the tunnel was extremely low. So, it made it easier for Jaden to be able to drive in the opposite direction in the wrong lane.

After about 5 minutes, they finally managed to get out of the tunnel. The moment that they got out of the tunnel, Jaden immediately went back to the right lane. Then, he sped off into the distance, while following the navigation system of the Jeep in order to head to the Johnsons' residence.

Just about 2 minutes after they had left, the drone that had been heading towards the other end of the tunnel finally arrived. It began monitoring the surrounding areas with the cameras that it was carrying, but it could not spot the Ferrari.

About 30 seconds later, a group of vehicles finally arrived. They were the ones that were chasing after Jaden. And finally, about 10 seconds later, another group of vehicles came over. This was the group that was supposed to be intercepting Jaden from the other end of the tunnel.

"We have already lost them. We will have to look for another chance to be able to strike again. But it is going to be quite difficult to considering that they will be extremely cautious of us." The leader of the group immediately said.

He was currently frustrated. In fact, he was under immense pressure from the one who had sent them here. They had been instructed that they had to kidnap Scarlet. But they had failed this time.

So, it was definitely going to be difficult for them to be able to get another chance at the one that they had gotten this time. After all, the Johnsons would not allow them to easily do as they pleased.

The rest of the group did not say anything, but still, they were also kind of dejected. After all, they were the most experienced group that the Williams possessed. They were specially trained, but for the first time ever since they began working for the Williams, they had failed in a very simple mission.

They understood that by failing the mission, they were going to be punished. The punishment itself was nothing simple. Otherwise, they would not be a little anxious about the punishment that they would be receiving later on the moment that Ruben received information that they had failed.

Riiing! Riiing!

In the next moment, the sound of the phone ringing could be heard. The expression of the leader of the group immediately shifted. Then, with a hint of hesitation, he took out his phone.

Looking at the caller, his expression shifted further. Still, he went ahead and received the call. He was not given a chance of saying anything when a shout came from the other end.

"What the heck is taking you so long? Is it that difficult for an elite group like yours to be able to kidnap a small girl?" Ruben's voice could be heard from the other end.

"I'm sorry sir. We did not expect that the bodyguard that she possesses has incredible driving skills. We did not get a chance of directly interacting with the two of them, and so, with his driving skills, he was able to evade us." The leader responded honestly. Still, his voice was low.

"What the heck are you trying to tell me? You are trying to tell me that you have already failed? How many of you are there? How is it impossible for you to be able to intercept a single vehicle?" Ruben asked once again. This time, he was extremely furious after hearing that they had failed.

The leader on the other hand wanted to erupt in anger. 'Of course we did not make enough preparations for this mission. We were planning to make preparations before taking the mission, but you simply told us to come over and do the mission. What did you expect?

Additionally, the information that we received about the bodyguard is definitely incomplete. How were we supposed to expect that the bodyguard possesses such incredible driving skills?'

The leader of the group simply thought in his mind, but he never dared to say that out loud. Otherwise, the punishment that he was going to face later on was going to intensify by a high magnitude.

"I'm sorry sir about that. Please give me another chance. I do promise that we will be able to complete the mission this time." The leader stated, as he tried as much as possible to swallow the anger that was threatening to burst. ҽχ!¢ʟυѕі√@е!-соո!τ&ҽпτ-?

"Humph! You think that it is going to be easy? This was the only chance that you possessed to have everything done simply. But now, you think that you are going to be able to do that again? Do you think that the Johnsons are idiots that are going to allow you to run rampantly?" Ruben snorted as he questioned.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued. "It doesn't matter. Since you have already failed for the first time, I do believe that the second time will not be different considering that the other party will be already informed that there is somebody that is targeting them.

So, forget about it for now. Instead, come over. There is another mission that I will be giving to you. I do hope that you do not fail this time. Otherwise, if you do that, I will make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life."

The leader of the group swallowed hard. Still, he did not say anything, as Ruben had already hung up the call after saying those words.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, he immediately went ahead and instructed his subordinates about returning. It seemed that there was another mission that they would have to carry out.

Understanding that this was going to be the last chance that they were going to be given to save themselves, he decided that they would have to make enough preparations. Even if they had to delay, at least, it was better late than never. So, even if they delayed in completing the mission, the mission completed was still better.

The group immediately left, heading towards the direction of the Williams manor.

…

On the other side, after Jaden had driven the car for several minutes without seeing any trace of the drone, he could not help but be relieved. It seemed that they had finally managed to get rid of that final drone.

But even then, he was currently on guard. He did not believe that the other party would easily give up. So, he had to be careful, just in case they were going to be able to find their whereabouts.

"That was quite fun. If we experience something like this a few more times, my life will no longer be boring as it is." Scarlet stated with a smile on her face.

Jaden could not help but get a little speechless after hearing that. What the heck was this girl thinking? They had just been in a risky situation, and she thought that it was fun?

And when he thought about it, he could not help but think that there was definitely something wrong with her mind. Additionally, he came to realize something else. That was the fact that, this was actually the first time that he was seeing Scarlet smiling.

'Well, even though she is kind of stubborn, I have to admit that she's quite a beauty.' Jaden thought in his mind. Of course, he did not say that out loud, and he would 'never' do that.

Without saying anything, he continued driving towards the Johnsons residence. And of course, he did not eliminate the possibility of the group waiting for them in the route that led to the Johnsons residence.

So, Jaden ended up using roundabout ways in order to avoid any possibility of the enemy managing to track them. So, it took them an entire hour to be able to arrive at the entrance of the Johnson residence.

During this one hour, both Clifford and Lynette had called. They wanted to make sure that Scarlet was still safe. They were both relieved the moment that they were informed that Scarlet was completely unharmed.

The moment that the Ferrari drove into the compound, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of Jaden. Even without looking at it, Jaden immediately understood that it was related to the completion of the mission.

It was only then that Jaden's nerves suddenly relaxed. Without the confirmation of the system, it implied that there was a possibility of danger. So, he had to be extremely careful while moving around.

But now that the mission had been completed, he did not have to be so strict anymore. So, he decided that he was going to see the reward that he was going to be given by the system for the completion of the mission.

As for now, he had to deal with answering the questions that were being fired by Clifford, Lynette, and Anthony.
