The Bodyguard System
Chapter 54 - 54: Captured

"So, what are you going to do with this group?" Jaden asked as he turned around to look at Scarlet.

"We will proceed as we had planned before. We will just call the police so that they can take them over. Additionally, they can assist in making sure that each and every person that they had kidnapped before is returned to where they are supposed to be." Scarlet responded almost immediately.

Immediately after that, the group left while the tattooed guy remained on the ground, unconscious. They went ahead and opened the rooms present within the top floor of the building, and released every person that was bound.

Later on, the police arrived, before they began taking the people that had been kidnapped, together with the gangsters that had remained outside. Of course, some of them had already managed to crawl so that they could escape, and so, only those that could not move had remained behind.

In the end, the police had to use a big truck in order to be able to ship all the gangsters. They had to be taken to the police station for further questioning. Additionally, they discovered several types of drugs within the building, and so, it was clear that the case that the gangsters were going to face was definitely going to be something that would send them to jail.

Still, Jaden doubted that this group of gangsters would experience anything harsh. After all, for them to be able to carry out something like kidnapping, they definitely possessed quite a background. So, with the goods that they had gotten, being taken by the police, the one behind them would definitely not remain calm.

So, Jaden expected that that person would definitely act. And it was impossible for the people in the underworld not to possess connections in the normal world. So, they definitely possessed connections within the police.

So, unless Scarlet decided to involve the Johnsons, this matter was definitely going to be easily forgotten. Even then, Jaden decided not to say anything, and progressed to give the statement that was required by the police.

It was a privilege that he had gotten due to the fact that he was related to Scarlet. Since Scarlet was from a big background, she did not have to go back to the police station to record her statement. Instead, they could do that right now, before she was allowed to go and do her own things.

With the matter of writing the statement out of the way, Scarlet immediately went ahead and informed Vincent about the results. At the same time, she could not help but be worried about him. After all, had it not been for the fact that Jaden was present, they would have definitely been the ones that would suffer in this hunt.

So, Scarlet was afraid that Vincent would be in trouble. And when she did not receive any response from Vincent, she immediately entered into her vehicle the moment that they arrived in the area where they had left them. Jaden immediately understood, and followed suit and got into the Ferrari.

Then, she began driving away. Lucas and the others, even though were a little confused, they still followed her. The group drove away, heading towards the direction of the other group of gangsters.

It took them more than 20 minutes for them to be able to arrive despite the fact that they were almost in the same area. At the end of the day, they had to leave the vehicles behind once again, considering that it was going to be a little troublesome for the sports cars to be able to maneuver the streets.

The moment that they arrived, they realized that the gangsters had not been taken care of. Additionally, they found that vehicles that were possessed by Vincent and the others could not be found.

For a moment, Scarlet could not help but think that perhaps Vincent and the others had decided not to participate in this matter. But thinking much about Vincent's personality, she understood that it was definitely impossible for him to abandon this competition.

So, the group immediately went ahead and approached the gangsters. They did not immediately attack, but instead, they approached peacefully.

But the moment that the gangsters saw them coming over, they tensed up. In fact, a few of them looked over with arrogant gazes.

"Don't tell me that this is yet another group of brats that is thinking of enforcing justice for the nation."

"Maybe. After all, it is not that easy for some stupid second generation heirs to come over to our place. So, if they come here, they definitely have something that they want to do."

"I do hope that they are also not stupid enough to think that they can deal with us. If that is the case, I will have a chance of beating them up."

"My fists are itching right now. Previously, I did not get a chance of beating someone, even though I was beaten up. But now, since this group is here, why don't we take the initiative to deal with them first?"

"That's a good idea. We can beat them up, then ask for the reason why they are here. In any case, it is not as if they can do anything to us."

The gangsters were discussing with each other loudly, without any fear that Jaden and the others would hear them out. In fact, from the way that they were speaking, it was clear that they were hoping that Jaden and the others would hear them.

Scarlet's expression shifted a little. She did not expect that Vincent and the others had already been taken care of. Just from what this group of gangsters was saying, it was clear that Vincent and the others were the group of youngsters that had come over before.

And from the fact that the gangsters seemed to be okay at the moment, it was clear that they had already dealt with Vincent and the others. Additionally, she could easily see that currently, a few of the gangsters had already been bandaged.

It was clear that before Vincent and the others were subdued, they had managed to cause quite some damage to a few gangsters. But in the end, they had been dealt with. The only thing that she did not know right now was if Vincent and the others were alive, or not.

Currently, she hoped that this group of gangsters had only managed to capture Vincent and the others. Otherwise, if they had been killed, then things would definitely escalate. Additionally, she was definitely going to be blamed for this matter.

It might be true that she was not the only one that wanted to do this, and he was not even the one who had suggested this form of competition, but even then, she was involved in it. If she had refused, they would have definitely not been involved in this matter at all.

She approached one of the gangsters and asked, "The group of youngsters that you were talking about, did they come over with sports cars?"

The gangster that was questioned was a little surprised by the beauty that Scarlet possessed. Additionally, he felt quite lucky that he was the one that was being questioned. So, if he had to fight, he was the one that was going to take hold of her first.

"You are talking about that group of arrogant brats? If that is what you are asking for, why don't I take you to see them?" The guy asked with a lecherous smile on his face.

Before he could even finish saying the words clearly, a punch suddenly landed on his face. It was clear that Scarlet was not pleased with his gaze on her that was extremely blatant.

The guy collapsed onto the ground, while holding his mouth. At this moment, he had already gotten a few of his teeth broken, and he spat out blood.

"You…you…. How dare you??!!" The guy was furious. It was just that he was lucky that only a few of his lower teeth have been broken. Otherwise, it would have definitely been impossible for him to be able to speak clearly in this situation.

Scarlet was not bothered by the question. Instead, she looked towards the rest of the gangsters that were already approaching. Since she had already beaten one of them to the ground, it was clear that the rest of the gangsters would immediately attack.

So, Lucas and the others went ahead and stood behind Scarlet. It was clear that they were ready to take action in case the gangsters decided to take action.

Jaden on the other hand was also standing just a little distance away from Scarlet. He was not afraid that she would not be capable of dealing with the gangsters. As long as they did not overwhelm her, it was definitely possible for her to be able to deal with them.

Just as the rest of the gangsters were about to swarm on Scarlet and the others to deal with them, they suddenly heard a shout coming from behind them.

"What the heck are you planning to do? I do clearly remember informing you that if somebody came over, you are not supposed to attack them. Instead, you are to bring them to me. Why is it that you are intending to attack them?" The voice was feminine, but it was extremely stern, and immediately sent chills down the spines of all the gangsters.

The movements of all the gangsters froze, as they shifted their stiff necks, to look behind them. Jaden and the others also looked over, wondering who it was that had come over this time.
