The Bodyguard System

Your journey continues at empire

Jaden did not want to converse with them, as he did not feel that there was anything that they could talk about for long. In any case, he still wanted to go back to his villa and make some preparations. At least, even if they wanted to chat with him, he could not do it at the time, as he had other things to handle.

But Castro did not seem to want the conversation to end here. Instead, he went and put his arm around Jaden\'s shoulders. At the same time, he said, "What is the hurry? Why don\'t we go back inside there? It\'s going to be my treat. I\'m going to allow you to order anything that you want within this hotel, and I will be the one doing the payment.

What do you think about that?"

Jaden could only helplessly reply, "I\'m just coming from in there as you can see. I have already eaten, and I don\'t think my stomach can accommodate any more food."

Despite his appetite increasing due to taking the physique enhancing pill, Jaden had already eaten enough during the time that he was with Matthew. It was almost impossible for him to add more food to the one that he had already eaten.

"Okay. What do you think about playing card games? You can catch up with Sylvia. And, my little cousin seems to miss you a lot." Castro continued, and in the last sentence, he cast a glance towards Scarlet and the young man who was standing beside her.

"Who is missing who! Do you think I even care about him? Hmph! You better know what you are talking about. If you are missing him, then just say that out loud. Simply because he is your boss currently, it doesn\'t mean that you have to use me in order to get in his good graces." Scarlet suddenly retorted.

Had it not been for the fact that Sylvia was holding her back, Scarlet would have definitely rushed and beaten Castro up. She seemed so fired up as she said those words, but she inadvertently looked at Jaden as she was saying those words.

The young man who was standing next to her could not help but feel displeased when he saw what was happening. He clenched his teeth, before looking at Jaden with a hatred gaze.

"Castro, can you stop joking around? You know that she is already my fiancée. You better stop making such jokes around me, in fact, you should not make such jokes about her." The young man said as he looked at Castro.

Jaden was slightly surprised upon hearing the tone of the young man. From the way that he was speaking, it was as if the two of them, Castro and himself were of the same level. It was clear that he was not afraid of Castro\'s background.

Another thing that surprised Jaden was the fact that Scarlet had already been engaged to someone else. Well, he kind of expected something like that, considering that the Johnson family was a big family. And in most big families, the heirs of those family rarely got a chance of selecting their own partners.

Jaden did not have anything to say about this, considering that it did not concern him in the least bit. But what he did not know was that everyone except for the young man, was looking at him, wanting to see his reaction.

Upon seeing how nonchalant Jaden was, as he reacted with just a simple raise of a brow, Sylvia was disappointed. As for Scarlet, she did not even look at Jaden anymore, and decided to look at the building in front of them.

Castro on the other hand seemed disappointed as well, but he did not seem to be having the intention of giving up at all.

"Who cares? Anyway, Anderson, you already know that Scarlet doesn\'t want you. So, even if you love her, she doesn\'t. You know that she has no choice, and that is the reason why she is your fiancée. If she had another option, she would have already taken it." Castro responded with a sneer.

He was obviously not happy with the way that the other party was talking to him. After all, judging from the tone of the other party, it was as though he was looking down on Castro.

Anderson was not happy upon hearing that. He looked towards Scarlet, hoping that she was going to refute what Castro had said. But Scarlet ignored his gaze, looking towards the building that Star complex hotel was located in, making it as though what was being talked about here was not related to her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Anderson could not help but feel a little frustrated. He understood that Scarlet had feelings for the young man who was beside Castro at this moment. And it seemed that even Scarlet\'s parents liked this young man.

As for this young man called Jaden, he was so pretentious, behaving as though he did not like Scarlet at all. But to Anderson, he believed that he was just pretending, wanting to be coaxed.

Too bad for him, considering that the Johnson family that was in Rezi city had intervened, and organized for the two of them to get engaged. This was something that had been organized long ago, when he had seen Scarlet\'s image.

He was called Anderson Sonani. He was a member of the Sonani family from Polkan city, another first tier city from this province. Polkan city was not that far away from Rezi city, and the two families, Sonani family and the Johnson family.

Considering the relationship between them, the Johnson family did not see any harm in bonding further by the use of marriage. And considering that Anderson was not a bad young man, and Scarlet herself was not engaged to anyone, they did not see anything wrong with that.

They immediately organized for the engagement between the two of them, something that had been planned about a year ago. And, it was only recently that he came over, and Clifford and Lynette were informed about it.

The two of them were helpless to be able to make sure that Scarlet was not engaged to Anderson. Of course, they did not want such arranged marriages for their daughter, but they did not have any choice in this situation. After all, it was the order of the leader, the one who was in charge of the main Johnson family.

In the end, Clifford and Lynette thought that perhaps this might be a chance for Scarlet to stop thinking about Jaden. After all, she was depressed all the time, something that worried them.

They had already investigated about Anderson, and found that he was not a bad young man. He was quite good, at least by the standard of the young masters of the big families.

Due to the character that they had found about from the information that they had gathered about Anderson, they hoped that Scarlet might end up falling in love with Anderson. It was only after she had fallen in love with Anderson, would she be able to forget about Jaden, and go back to the way that she was before.

It might be true that Anderson was interested in Scarlet, but it was clear that Scarlet was not interested in him. At first, he did not really care about that, considering that the two of them had already gotten engaged to each other.

But the problem came in when he came to know that there was another man that Scarlet seemed to care about. And, that man was merely a bodyguard back then when the two of them got to know each other.

Even though it was true that this person had turned out to be a millionaire, but that was nothing in the eyes of a young master like himself. It might be true that he was not in line to be the next leader of the Sonani family, but he still possessed much more power than an owner of two small companies within such a small city.

"Hey, I\'m going to give you a chance. I will promote your small company so that it can grow branches within the surrounding cities. And with that, you can forget about Scarlet. But if you don\'t want to cooperate, then I will make sure that I destroy those two companies of yours." Anderson said as he looked at Jaden.

In his mind, he believed that Jaden was going to agree to something like that. He did not care if Jaden knew about his background or not, but still, he believed that Jaden would be able to tell that he was not that simple, just from the fact that he was engaged to Scarlet.

Jaden on the other hand simply ignored what the young man had said. Afraid of those big families? That might have been if the system had not yet come back online after completing the update. At least then, he could have been a little wary of those families.

But now, he just needed a little time, completing a few missions, before being able to destroy such a big family. And in fact, he could destroy those families, just with the capabilities that he possessed, including the AI.

All that he had to do was to find the negative information, the information that could tremendously affect the family, and hand it over to their enemies. And just like that, he would be able to destroy that family.

"Can you f*cking shut up? Let\'s go already. I don\'t want to stay here anymore." Scarlet suddenly shouted, cursing at Anderson. Then, she pulled Sylvia, heading towards the parking lot.
