The Bodyguard System

The moment that Charles realized that Jaden was not moving after coming out of the car, other than looking around, he thought that Jaden had been scared.

"Are you scared now? I can let you go, but if you kneel down, beg for forgiveness for what you have done, then make sure that you return that villa back to me and my family. With that, I can let you go." Charles commented as he looked at Jaden.

Kennedy, the chubby guy that was beside Charles could not help but feel that there was something unusual. After all, he realized that the moment that Jaden was looking around, these people all flinched.

He could not understand why that was the case, but nonetheless, he decided to believe that it was just his imagination. There was no possibility that all these people were afraid of Jaden, right? He was just a youth who was in his early twenties, right?

But he felt the belief that he had just gotten being shaken the moment that he looked at Jaden. He realized that instead of fear in the face of such a large number of people that was planning to attack him, Jaden was extremely calm.

With that, Kennedy suddenly began retreating, leaving Charles facing Jaden alone. No matter what, he could tell that there was something unusual about Jaden. He was not willing to be the first one to find out what it was.

Charles was currently excited, looking forward to Jaden kneeling and begging him for mercy that he did not even realize that Kennedy had somehow began retreating.

But even if he knew, he would not even care about that. To him, since he had already managed to get Jaden, there was no need for him to continue sucking up to Kennedy.

Previously, after they were chased out of the Villa by Jaden, his father was arrested. He remained with his mother, but she left after she had booked a hotel room for him.

A little while later, he came to realize that he was actually a member of the Browns family, one of the big families in the city. And, the current head of the Browns family was his uncle.

With that, he got renewed confidence, in that after he had met with his uncle, and they had been given a room within the Browns residence, he went out to look for Jaden.

But even after looking for Jaden for quite a while, he could not find him. It was as if Jaden had vanished, as he was not within the villa for the few days that he had gone there.

But he did not give up. He decided to keep watch, in order to see if he was going to find Jaden coming to the community at some point in time.

In the end, he left someone to watch and see if Jaden was going to come over to the community. And when he came over, Charles was immediately informed about that, and he came over.

He went ahead and waited outside the villa that Jaden had gone to, and waited for him to come out. He understood that it was going to be impossible for him to be able to break into the villa due to the security level of the villa.

Additionally, if he really tried to break into the villa, the community security would rush over and deal with him. In this community, it did not matter your background, but instead, you had to follow all the rules that had to be followed here. Otherwise, you would be kicked out of the community.

But even after he had waited out of the villa for several hours, Jaden did not come out. Left with no choice, he decided to leave. After all, he could not continue staying there while hungry, when he had other things that he could do for entertainment.

Due to that, he decided to wait for Jaden outside the community. He informed several people to come and keep watch, so that they would inform him the moment that Jaden came out.

But even after a few days, Jaden did not come out at all. It was as if he had gotten some clue that he was being targeted, and that was the reason why he was never leaving the villa.

Even for the food, it was said that it was being delivered there. The groceries and so on, they were ordered, before being brought over by the delivery service.

Then suddenly, a tragedy struck. The Browns family was destroyed completely, all the wealth that they possessed being taken over by the Johnson family.

It was a good thing that he was not that much deeply involved with the Browns family. Otherwise, he would have also been targeted.

Since everything had been destroyed, Charles had no other choice but to go and look for Kennedy. The two of them had been friends for quite a while, and so, Kennedy was willing to accommodate him.

The two of them then came up with an idea, to deal with Jaden. Of course, it was Charles who came up with the idea, before convincing Kennedy to agree to that.

Considering Kennedy's background, it was not impossible for him to be able to sponsor Charles in this plan. In any case, it only required about a thousand dollars.

With that, they went ahead and paid this group of people, hiring them to come over and deal with Jaden. Of course, they informed them that they should stay around this area, to ensure that Jaden would not escape the community without them noticing it.

As for their expenses during the time that they would be here, they would be covered by Charles. Additionally, they would be paid $30 on each day that they spent here.

They had already been here for more than a week, and there was a total of 25 people. In just a single day, Kennedy had no choice but to spend $750. And, for an entire week, Kennedy had ended up spending $5,250.

Kennedy was already planning to give up on this plan if this went on any further. It might be true that this amount of money was not that much to him, but still, if they kept on like this for several months, of course, he would bleed the amount that he had been saving until now.

"You are not willing? If that is the case, then don't blame me for being hard on you." Charles stated viciously.

Then, he looked at the group around him and pointed towards Jaden. At the same time, he said, "Take him down. I want you to beat him to the extent that no one can recognize him. But, make sure that you don't kill him. I don't want to deal with anything related to killing someone at this point."

After saying those words, Charles began retreating, and it was only then that he realized that Kennedy was no longer by his side. When he looked back, he realized that somehow, Kennedy had already gotten back to their car, and was already entering into the car.

"Hey Kennedy, where are you going to? You don't want to watch the show?" Charles asked with raised brows.

"I will watch from the car." Kennedy responded as he got into the car.

"But from there you cannot see anything." Charles commented in confusion. Nonetheless, he did not say anything else, and instead, retreated, going behind the group of people behind him.

But even after a few seconds had gone by after he had managed to retreat, he realized that even after he had given an order for this group of people to attack Jaden, they were all standing there as if they were frozen.

This irritated him slightly. He looked at them and asked in a loud voice, "What is it? You don't want to do it? We already paid you! You better hurry up and beat that guy as soon as possible, because we have other things to do. Don't even think about making this take longer, because we are not going to pay you after today."

The person that was closest to Charles was none other than Mike. He was one of the few people that had remained behind during the time that Jaden had been beating them up.

Back then, he had decided that no matter what, he would never try to attack Jaden. After all, this guy was a monster. Despite the skills that they possessed, and the numerical advantage, they had failed to even land a single blow on him.

And what was even more scary was the fact that somehow, he had managed to frame one of them that he was the one that had killed Lucas. They understood that guy quite well. And just like themselves, even though they would end up beating up someone, they would never kill.

But today, just as they were enjoying that they had been earning much more money while just staying in an area, they suddenly faced this situation. They faced their nightmare.

And, the moment that Mike heard Charles chastising them, he was immediately irritated. He turned around, and glared at Charles.

But it seemed that glaring was not enough. He moved towards Charles, surprising Charles. He had thought that this guy was going to go along with the others and attack Jaden, but he was approaching him?

But what was wrong with this guy's face? It seemed that he was extremely angry, and was about to beat someone.

Just as Charles was perplexed, Mike arrived next to him. Then, without saying anything, he attacked, launching a punch towards Charles's face.

Bam!

Charles had not expected something like this at all. He collapsed onto the ground, while holding his nose that had been broken by the punch.

Tears had already appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he was about to ask what was going on, when suddenly, the entire group of 25 people suddenly swarmed him, before they began beating him up.

As for Kennedy, the moment that he noticed that Charles had been beaten by one of the people that they had hired, he began driving away, leaving behind Charles.

In between the beating, Charles could only shout, "You are getting the wrong target! You are beating the wrong target! I'm not the one that you are supposed to be beating, but instead, it is the other guy there!"
