The Bodyguard System

The moments that Jaden got inside the living room, he realized that seated on a couch, was a middle-aged man who had a bald head, with narrow brown eyes and a clean shaven chin.

Several creases could be seen on his forehead, indicating that he was so much used to frowning. Still, he's bulky body could easily intimidate a person, considering that the current expression on his face was quite frightening.

"How was it? Have you already dealt with that group of police?" The man asked in a deep voice.

Jaden was a little surprised when he saw this person. The reason behind that was because he had actually seen this person before. He knew who this person was. It was none other than Ruben.

Previously, when the Williams were targeting Scarlet, Jaden had already gotten detailed information about the members of the Williams family from Steven. So of course, he could identify them, other than knowing them from seeing them appear in several times on the television news.

Jaden had really not expected that the owner of this villa was actually Ruben. Nonetheless, he was able to react, as he responded, "Yes. They are already dealt with."

"That's good. Where are the rest? I still have another mission that I would like to give you. But if you feel like you cannot complete it, Levi here can definitely do it in your place." Ruben asked as he had not seen the other four members of the team that the guy that had set out with.

"They are clearing the scene. It is better to make sure that the road is clear, so that it will not disrupt the movement to and from the villa." Jaden responded.

"Okay. Deal with that as soon as possible. I have not yet given up on dealing with the Johnsons. Even though my brother doesn't want to deal with them, and is trying to lay low at this moment, I can definitely not tolerate something like that." Ruben suddenly stated.

Jaden made sure to listen. After all, this was crucial to him as well. If there was someone that was going to target the Johnson family, that indicated that they were going to target Scarlet as well.

Since she was his client, he had ensure her safety. So, if there was anything that was related to the safety of the Johnson family, he would definitely be interested in it. So, he listened carefully, as this guy kept on talking.

"It has already been more than 2 months ever since then. But he keeps on acting like a coward, not wanting to use the strength that we have. We might not be that incredible when it comes to the business world, but in the underworld, we are definitely way above the Johnson family." Ruben continued.

Jaden was not really sure about who this guy was talking to, but he continued listening nonetheless. To him, it did not matter who was being told this, as this was kind of beneficial to him.

"Even though we have suffered incredible losses due to the crackdown that happened recently, our power has not yet diminished. The core members are still there, making it easy for us to be able to start once again. And since the other gangs have been almost completely wiped out, it should not be impossible for us to be able to take over the underworld completely.

Levi, do you have an idea on what we are supposed to do? It would have been better if we would have dealt with the Johnson family after we stabilize ourselves in the underworld.

But due to this incident, it is definitely going to be a long journey for us to be able to go back to the same level that we were before, or even go beyond it." Ruben asked as he looked at Levi.

Jaden did not know that this Levi guy was actually the one that had been chasing after them with drones. He was the one that had been assigned to go after Scarlet, but due to Jaden's incredible driving capabilities, he was able to get away from them.

"Currently, it is quite chaotic. With the police continuing to patrol the Eastern part of the city, it is going to be difficult for us to be able to establish our gang there again for the time being.

But with the financial capabilities that you possess, it should not be that difficult for us to be able to get back on our feet again. It take at most 1 month to be able to get back to the same level as we were before.

But this will depend on if the police will stop bothering us. Since this is something that involves even the provincial government, it is going to be quite complex to be able to deal with those police." Levi responded.

Ruben remained silent upon hearing that. Of course, he understood the situation at this moment, clearly indicating that it was going to be impossible for them to be able to revive the underworld in this city anytime soon.

If it was just a leader within the city that was involved with this issue, it would have definitely not been a problem for him to be able to get back on their feet.

It was just that even though he possessed quite some connections with the leaders within the city, that did not imply that he was capable of controlling the activities of the police at this moment, considering that they were being ordered directly from the provincial headquarters.

It was one of those people that he was having connections with that had informed him about the plan of police being sent over to destroy this hideout.

But of course, in order to make sure that things would not be difficult for him, that person had made sure that the police that were being sent over were not that skilled.

Otherwise, there were other police departments that would have been able to deal with this issue way better as compared to ordinary police.

Ruben suddenly glanced at Jaden and asked, "What about Arnold's daughter? Where is she? We need her, to ensure that the cooperation between Arnold and the Johnson family ends. This is just a method that I am going to use to make sure that the Johnson family suffers and incredible loss."

Jaden was left speechless upon hearing that. Who the heck was this Arnold guy? Additionally, who was his daughter even? Among the police that had come over, there were several female police officers there.

So, could it be that one of them was the daughter of the Arnold guy that Ruben was talking about? Jaden tried to think, but he could not remember anyone who had ever said that his father was called Arnold.

The only clues that Jaden possessed at this moment was that the daughter of this person called Arnold was supposed to be here with those police. And other than that, Arnold was supposedly in a cooperation with the Johnson family.

Due to Jaden thinking, and not responding, Ruben got irritated. He looked at Jaden and asked, "What the f*ck are you thinking? Don't tell me that you have not managed to get her?"

Just by looking at his expression, Jaden could immediately tell that Ruben was obviously angry. But, what could he do? It was not that he could tell who Arnold's daughter was.

"She should be coming over in a while. I just hurried it over to inform you that we have already dealt with the cops." Jaden responded with the only thing that appeared in his mind.

There was no any other reason that he could give at this point, other than this. But still, it worked. Even though Ruben looked impatient, he said, "It is good as long as you have her. But, try to make sure that nothing happens to her. Otherwise, things will get more complicated than I have planned."

Jaden could not help but be rendered speechless. Currently, he did not know who Arnold's daughter was. And, from the way that this group of gangsters was acting before, it was not as if they wanted to have one of the police there alive.

Unless they absolutely knew who was inside what car, by just launching a rocket at the cars, they might end up killing the person that they were supposed to bring over alive.

If they had forgotten, or they were just acting recklessly, or perhaps if they already knew about what car the person that they wanted was in, Jaden did not focus on that at all.

Instead, he was currently focused on trying to get as much information about this area as much as possible. Ever since he came over, he had not seen anybody else other than Ruben and this guy called Levi.

But of course, considering that Levi had claimed that he was going to lead his team to go and deal with the cops, it was clear that there was another group of people inside this villa. As for where they currently were, Jaden could not tell.

Another downside of the appearance shifting watch. It would have really been even better if it could grant him the memories of the person that he was impersonating. Unlucky for him, he did not have those memories, and so, he did not know where in the villa those people were.

There was a moment of silence, before Ruben finally stood up. Jaden was not sure about what Ruben was intending to do, but his mind was currently racing, on what he was supposed to do next, in case Ruben wanted to do something that was going to go against him in the current situation.

"Why the heck are they not coming? Is it that difficult to be able to push those cars down that valley? They are wasting so much time!" Ruben asked with a frown on his face.
