The Bodyguard System

Despite all that, second tiger gazed at the photos. It was just that they were flipped, in such a way that he could not see the image of the person on the photos.

"Why do you believe that I will do this for you?" Second tiger asked.

Even though it was true that the tiger gang would oftenly take missions, that did not imply that they would just take any mission. Of course, they would have to consider the benefits together with the risks associated with the mission.

Of course, more than that, not just anybody could give the tiger gang the missions. For this part, it mainly depended on second tiger\'s and the leader\'s mood.

Lucas on the other hand could not help but frown upon hearing the question from second tiger. He had thought that by just simply stating that he was ready to pay, second tiger would immediately agree. But it seemed that, that was not going to be the case.

"We can come to an agreement. I can assure you that the mission is not that difficult for you to handle. Don\'t tell me that you are afraid of taking the mission?" Lucas questioned as he looked at second tiger with squinted eyes.

This was the only way that he had thought about in order to make second tiger take the mission. Lucas was not willing to give the mission to any other gang. It was simply because he trusted the capabilities of the tiger gang, and he had interacted with second tiger, and it could be said that two of them were more or less familiar with each other.

So, he was familiar with the capabilities that second tiger and his group possessed, thus, he believed that they would be able to easily deal with the mission.

"Kid, don\'t try goading me into doing something for you. It is upon me to decide if I am going to take the mission or not. I am not your subordinate, so, you better learn how to behave when you are in front of me." Second tiger stated as he eyed Lucas with a murderous gaze.

Lucas could not help but flinch a little upon meeting second tiger\'s gaze. He could feel his heart palpating, and he could also tell that second tiger could kill him in case he wanted to.

In his heart, he could not help but get a little frustrated. At the same time, he swore that if there was a chance, he would definitely make sure that second tiger paid for his actions today.

\'How dare he try to frighten me? Continue being arrogant for now. Once everything is in place, and I am in a position above you, you will definitely crawl while begging me.\' Lucas thought to himself.

On the surface, he managed to regain his composure. Then, after clearing his throat, through his gritted teeth, he went ahead and flipped the photos on the table.

"You can look at the person that I want you to deal with. As you can see, he is nothing more than just a youth with some fighting capabilities. But of course, his fighting capabilities cannot compare to yours. So, please, can you help me take care of this issue? I will owe you a favor." Lucas stated with a forced smile on his face.

"Tsk!" Second tiger simply clicked his tongue upon hearing what Lucas had said. Nonetheless, he shifted his gaze, towards the photos on the table.

At the same time, he spoke up, "You don\'t have to worry about owing me a favor. I will decide on whether I will do this mission or not. It all depends on my mood.

And if you feel that the opponent that you want me to deal with is somebody with some fighting capabilities, why don\'t you just go ahead and deal with them? I do believe that-"

Second tiger abruptly stopped speaking. Lucas on the other hand could not help but want to tear apart second tiger. It was just that he did not have the capability of doing that.

At the same time, he thought, \'Do you think that I don\'t want to do this by myself? It\'s just that I do believe that this guy is quite capable. Additionally, I cannot leave behind any traces. If Scarlet somehow suspects that I am the one that is involved in taking care of Jaden, there is definitely going to be an issue.\'

The only reason why Lucas was being discussion was simply because he was afraid that Scarlet had changed her mind. After all, from the way that she was interacting with Jaden, there was no any sign that she wanted to get rid of him.

Additionally, the rumors flying around about the two of them getting married was enough to convince him that if he did anything to Jaden, Scarlet would not even think about getting together with him.

So, it was better to make sure that as long as he took care of Jaden, Scarlet remained in the dark. Otherwise, things would not go the way that he wanted them to.

It was only a few moments later that he realized that second tiger seemed to have stopped talking abruptly. He looked at second tiger, only to see that second tiger was holding the photos in his hands, looking at them with a fierce glance.

There was killing intent in his eyes. His eyes were currently bulged, with veins popping up on his forehead.

Lucas was curious about what it was that had made second tiger so worked up. Could it be that second tiger knew who Jaden was? But that was impossible, right?

If Jaden was somehow involved with the gangster, it was going to be impossible for the Johnsons to take him as a bodyguard. So, could it be that he had hidden it so deeply in such a way that even the Johnsons could not find something like that?

If that was the case, then what kind of background did Jaden really have? A background that was capable of hiding that information from the Johnsons was definitely not simple.

"Are you sure that this is the guy that you want me to deal with?" Second tiger asked. His voice was extremely calm, despite the anger that could be seen within his eyes.

"Yes. That is the guy. He is currently a bodyguard for a lady of the Johnsons. I want you to kidnap him, torture him, then, during his last moments of his life, I want him to see me, before I send him off." Lucas stated, hatred clear within his voice.

"Hahaha. I had never expected that this guy would get so much involved with me. I\'m quite curious about what kind of enmity exists between you guys. Still, I will not ask about it. I will handle this matter." Second tiger responded after a sinister laughter.

\'As expected, there seems to be some kind of link between Jaden and the gangsters. Still, it doesn\'t matter considering that they seem to be enemies. And that is just what I want. As long as this guy disappears, and it is not linked to me, then, everything will be good.\' Lucas thought to himself.

"But there is one condition. I will deal with him, only if my plan does not go through. But if it does, I\'m sorry to disappoint you but he will not be handed over to you." Second tiger continued.

Lucas frown upon hearing that. He could not understand the implication of what second tiger was saying. Could it be that there was something else that second tiger was planning for Jaden?

After thinking for a while, he responded, "If that is the case, then let\'s come to an agreement. If you do as I want, then, I\'m going to pay you. But if you don\'t, you will have to return the deposit that I would have given."

"You don\'t even have to pay me any deposit. Still, I will come asking for money from you in case I do as you want." Second tiger stated as he got up from his seat. Then, he turned around and headed towards the door.

"But don\'t get complacent. This time, I have agreed to deal with this guy because I am in quite a mood right now. But it might not be the same next time." Second tiger stated as he went through the door, leaving the private room.

Lucas on the other hand squinted his eyes as he looked towards the direction that second tiger and his group had left. He then looked at the table of food that was untouched.

His lips twitched for a moment as he said, "What a waste. If I had known that they were not going to eat, then I would have not wasted the money ordering so much food."

Having said those words, Lucas stood up from his seat, and left the private room as well. Currently, he was planning to go back to the campus, so that he could make sure that the relationship between Jaden and Scarlet did not advance any further.
