The Bodyguard System

Jaden took a cab and managed to arrive to the Johnsons residence in about 40 minutes. It could have been a little faster, considering the only problem being the traffic. Somehow, the traffic was quite congested on this day, even though it was not even half a day.

Most of the time, it would be evening that the congestion on the roads would increase. But somehow, due to a reason that Jaden did not know, the traffic was quite high.

Not caring much about it, Jaden walked towards the Johnsons residence. The guards at the gates already knew about him, and so, they immediately allowed him to enter a security check.

When he entered into the compound, Jaden realized that Scarlet and Sylvia were waiting for him near the parking area. So, he approached them.

"Finally. I can go out. I was already dying for staying within this place. There is nothing fun here." Scarlet immediately complained as soon as Jaden arrived in front of her.

Sylvia on the other hand threw her a glance, but she did not comment on what Scarlet had said. Instead, she looked at Jaden and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. I do understand that you had been given this day off, but in the end, you had to come back and take us to the bank. There is something urgent that I would like to deal with at the bank, and so, I had no choice but to go out."

Jaden had already understood the situation, and so, he was already okay with it. "There is no problem at all. So, can we go or are there any preparations that are supposed to be made?"

Of course, Jaden understood that the only reason why he was asked to escort the two of them to the bank was simply because of Scarlet's presence. It seems that the battle between the two families had not yet ended, despite them not making any more headlines.

In any case, Sylvia was not a direct member of the Johnsons family, and was just Scarlet's cousin. So of course, the Williams would not benefit much if they targeted her. But since Scarlet was the one that was accompanying Sylvia, Jaden had to accompany her, just for security measures.

Of course, what Jaden did not know was that his importance to the Johnsons was highly rated. Currently, they trusted that Jaden would be able to ensure Scarlet's security, considering that the two families, although fighting with each other, had not reached the level that they would begin using hot weapons.

With Jaden's current capabilities, it was not impossible for him to be able to deal with a group of crooks. Of course, Jaden did not know about that, but he would definitely be relieved since any enemy that he might encounter in the future would not be using guns, at least he would have hoped.

"There is nothing for us to prepare for, unless there is something for you." Sylvia responded. Then, she began walking towards the car that they would be using to go out this time, a black Audi A6.

The estimated price of this car was about $60,000, with a maximum speed of about 155 mph. It could be said that Sylvia was quite conservative, considering that she did not purchase a very expensive vehicle, despite the money that she possessed.

Of course, Jaden did not doubt that she possessed money, considering that she was able to easily take out $10,000 for a competition that did not benefit her that much, according to him anyway.

Jaden got inside the car, in the back seat. As for Scarlet, she got into the passenger seat, while Sylvia took the driver's seat. Sylvia immediately began driving, and the group left the residence.

Due to the traffic, it took them about 40 minutes again for them to be able to arrive to their destination. It could be said that they were almost getting late.

And when they got to the bank, they were almost locked out, considering that the time for the bank to be open was about to end. So, they were currently prioritizing serving the customers that were currently inside the bank, and not allowing anybody else to enter.

Sylvia had no choice but to take out a VIP card of the bank. It was a gold card. This card was not related to the family, instead, it was something that was hers personally.

Upon seeing the card, the guards at the door had no choice but to allow her to enter. In any case, the bank had yet to close, and so, she was still allowed to enter.

Jaden and Scarlet followed her into the bank. Immediately after they got in, Jaden realized that the bank was currently having a very small number of people, which was to be expected.

And due to that reason, it was quite easy for Sylvia and Scarlet to be able to find somebody to handle the issues that they wanted to deal with. Jaden was not sure about what it was that Sylvia was here to do, but nevertheless, he understood that Scarlet was here to open a bank account.

As for himself, he had nothing to do, so, he sat at the waiting area, waiting for the two ladies to complete what they were doing. And about 20 or so minutes later, Scarlet came over, having already completed opening the bank account.

It seems that the one that was handling Scarlet's matter was quite anxious to leave, so she hurried up the process. Nevertheless, everything was well done.

The two of them sat at the waiting area, while waiting for Sylvia to come back. They did not talk, but that did not prevent them from scrolling through their phones.

Having already realized that the system was capable of granting him something like the villa, Jaden had already begun doing some investigations. He wanted to know much more about the rich people's world.

It was not just investigation about the progress of different companies, but also the real estate and so on. He wanted to get information, so that in the future, he would not have to struggle so much when selecting a company that he would take the shares from.

While they were waiting, the rest of the people within the bank had already been served, and they left. Only the two of them were left in the waiting area, while Sylvia had not yet come back.

It seemed that the issue that she was handling was quite private, and so, she was meeting with the branch manager of the bank.

The bank that they were currently in was the headquarters of Vyon Faru city branch. This bank was quite well-known countrywide, having branches in all cities within the country. And the one that they were currently visiting was the headquarters of all the branches within Faru city.

"What is taking so long? Can't the branch manager handle these things faster? I'm already getting bored of staying here. It's better if I go and look for something fun to do." Scarlet complained after waiting for more than 10 minutes, without Sylvia showing up.

Jaden was also curious about what it was that Sylvia was handling. Nevertheless, he did not ask. It seems that this matter was kind of related to the Johnsons, and so, he did not want to get much involved with it.

When Scarlet saw that Jaden did not respond to her, she could not help but feel a little frustrated. She glared at him and asked, "Why are you not saying anything?"

Jaden was rendered speechless with that question. He just thought that Scarlet was speaking to herself, and there was no need for him to respond. Additionally, what was he supposed to say?

Both of them were currently in the same area, and they did not know what it was that Sylvia was currently doing, considering that she was still within the branch manager's office.

Looking at Jaden's expression, Scarlet immediately realized that there was nothing that Jaden was actually supposed to say. Nevertheless, she was not willing to admit it. So, she simply bit her lips, before turning her gaze back to her phone.

Jaden could only shake his head, and continue scrolling through the information that he had managed to get on the internet. At the same time, he made sure to pay attention to his surroundings.

Currently, in the entire bank, other than the two of them that were currently waiting, there was nobody else within the bank. Everybody, including the staff members had already left, leaving just the two of them, and the security guards.

Of course, other than them, there was Sylvia and the branch manager, who were still upstairs.

They waited for 5 more minutes, and finally, they heard the sound of approaching footsteps. It seemed that the two of them had finally come back.

It was just that as they approached, Jaden noticed something. Sylvia's expression was extremely cold, completely different from when she came in. It seems that what she had come over to handle, had not gone the way that she wanted.

The branch manager on the other hand, a man with a beer belly, a little short, with rough but well trimmed beards, small eyes, and a bald head was walking beside Sylvia with a smile on his face.

"You can go back and think about it. It is not that much, right? As long as you agree to those conditions, it is not impossible for the deal to go through. In fact, I will ensure that it goes through, in case of anything." The branch manager stated as he looked at Sylvia.

Then, he looked at Scarlet, before gazing at Jaden, only to retract his gaze and look at Sylvia.

"You can forget about it then. I don't…" Sylvia responded with an indifferent tone. But her speech was cut off by something that made almost everyone shocked and afraid.

BANG!!
