The Bodyguard System

Jaden was just about to speak when suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of him.

[It has been detected that the host expects that the system would grant him the mission every time that the client is in danger. But that is false.]

[The duty of the host is to become a bodyguard to the client. And due to that, the host has to ensure that the safety of the client is ensured, no matter if the mission is given or not.]

[The host has to know that in case the client of the host is in trouble, and the host does not take action intentionally, then the host will definitely receive a punishment after being given several warnings. The limit to the number of warnings is three.]

[Additionally, the host will have to understand that the system missions will be given only during certain circumstances. The best circumstances that the host will receive missions to protect the client will only be during the time that there is somebody directly targeting the client's host.]

[But in this scenario where the client was the one who went to look for trouble, then, the host will definitely not be given the mission. Nevertheless, the host is still required to protect the client, considering that that is his duty.]

[Of course, there are some situations where the mission will be given to the host, despite the client being the one that will be looking for trouble. Nevertheless, the host has to understand that it is not mandatory for the host to receive missions every time that the client is in trouble.]

Jaden paused his movements after receiving the prompts. To say the least, he had been too complacent after receiving the system, forgetting about the fact that he was currently a bodyguard.

In normal situations, it doesn't matter if it was the client who caused trouble, and was attacked, no matter what, as a bodyguard, he was supposed to make sure that the client was not harmed.

Of course, even though he was supposed to ensure the security of the client, that did not imply that the client could simply boss him around, and order him to do things that he did not want, as long as they did not involve the security of the client.

That was the principle that Jaden was following ever since the first day that he managed to gain the combat skills from the system. But now, after getting a mission from the system, where Scarlet requested him to take action, he had been a little arrogant, forgetting his role.

Even though he was close to where Scarlet was, he could not guarantee that nothing might go wrong during the time that Scarlet was fighting, especially considering that she was fighting a group of people, who were using weapons, and they did not seem to care much about the fighting technique.

This was completely different from the fight between Scarlet and Alfie. It could be said that Jaden was lucky, that nothing went wrong until he took action.

At this moment, Jaden made sure to make a mental note in his mind, not to do something risky like this again. It seems that there will be some form of punishment from the system in case he ignored his duties.

Even though there was punishment, this punishment was not due to him failing the mission, but instead, it was due to him failing his duties. It was the bodyguard system, and if he could not act as a bodyguard, then there was definitely something wrong.

Jaden took a deep breath, deciding to adjust his attitude and so on. After that, looking at the man in front of him, Jaden asked, "I want to know who it is that sent you to cause trouble for the cosmetics company."

Jaden was not being polite with this guy at all. They came here to cause trouble, and so, there was no need for Jaden to be polite with him. In fact, Jaden had already decided that if this guy did not speak up, he would beat him up as well.

The guy on the other hand looked at Jaden with fear in his eyes. Since Jaden had already dealt with the rest of the group, then it was impossible for him to be able to deal with Jaden.

So, it was better for him to retreat now, and inform the higher-ups about the result of the mission. As for the question that Jaden had asked, he completely ignored it. How was it possible for him to reveal the information about the client?

It was clear that If he revealed the information, this issue would definitely escalate. At that time, even the client who had requested for the services of their gang might be involved, and even suffer in the end.

If something like that happened, then the reputation of the gang that he belonged to would definitely go down the drain. At that time, many people would definitely not trust the gang again.

Additionally, if the boss of the gang came to know about him revealing the information, he would be punished. Of course, the punishment for the gang was not something simple, and he might end up with his limbs broken, and in the worst situation, he might even end up dead.

Looking at the hesitant expression on the guy's face, Jaden was immediately displeased. The only reason why he was concerned about this matter was so that they could avoid something like this happening again.

At the end of the day, even if he took action, he was not going to get any benefit, unless the system gave out a mission. But from the looks of it, it did not seem like the system was going to give another mission from something like this again.

So, Jaden decided to avoid anything unnecessary, something that would end up making him waste his energy for nothing. So no matter what, today, he had to get the information from this guy.

Looking at Jaden who had approached, the yellow-dyed hair young man immediately took a few steps backwards. He definitely could not allow himself to confront Jaden in a direct fight.

And at this moment, he was just trying to see if there was a chance for him to get away. But from the looks of it, from the way that Jaden was, it was clear that the moment that he tried to run away, Jaden would definitely take action.

"I don't really know who it was that gave the mission to the gang. All I know is that I was instructed by the higher-ups to come over and do this." The young man responded with a vigilant expression on his face.

At the same time, his eyes darted from side to side, as he continuously tried looking for a chance to get away from here.

"Oh, is that so?" Jaden asked as he continued approaching. Of course, he could immediately tell that the other party was lying, considering that he was currently looking for a method of getting away from here.

The only reason why this guy had not ran away was simply because his back was currently facing the company building. And in front of him, Jaden and Scarlet stood there, looking at him.

So, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to get away using the back, or the front. As for the sides, on one side, there was a large group of people, which was definitely going to hinder his movements during the time that he would be running away.

And on the other side, there was a group of employees that had gathered there, looking at him with malicious expressions. It was clear that if he rushed there, they would try as much as possible to make sure that he did not get away, allowing Jaden to get to him.

Realizing that it was going to be impossible for him to be able to get out of here, and looking at Jaden who was approaching him, he decided that he had to reveal his background.

"You have to be careful young man. You have to understand that by beating us up, you have definitely provoked the tiger gang." The young man said with a fierce expression on his face.

Nevertheless, he was still trying to look for a gap to get away. Even though he had already realized that it was impossible for him to be able to get out for now, that did not imply that there was no chance for him to get away anyway.

So, the moment that the chance presented itself, he would definitely use it to get out of here as soon as possible.

The tiger gang? Jaden could not help but be surprised upon hearing that name. This was not the first time that he was hearing the name of that gang. After all, he had been living in a low level area of the city.

Additionally, he was involved in several street fights, and so, the name tiger gang was not new to him. According to the rumors that he had heard about this gang, it was that they were a group of ruthless people.

They possessed quite a reputation within the underworld, and could be considered as a very big force within the city. Of course, the tiger gang was not the biggest gangster group in the entire underworld of Faru city, but it was still among the top groups.

As for the leader of the group, Jaden had heard that this person was extremely strong. As for how strong he was, Jaden could not tell, as he could not completely trust the rumors.

Nevertheless, other than a raised brow, there was no any other reaction from Jaden. It was clear that he did not think much about the gang for now. If it was before, he would definitely be afraid of the gang. But now, things were completely different.

Jaden was just about to go ahead and beat up the guy, so that he could get the information that he wanted, when he suddenly heard the sound of a police siren. Additionally, the siren came from not far away. So, he immediately looked towards the direction of the sound.
