Change of Plans
Jaden did not say anything and remained silent. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Where's the person that you were talking about meeting with?"
Scarlet simply frowned after hearing the question from Jaden. But she did not respond. She herself did not know what was going on, and why the heck Lucas was not here by now. But even then, he took out her phone, preparing to make a call.
But it was at this time that suddenly, she suddenly realized that there was a figure that was coming over. It was none other than Lucas. The guy was completely surprised when he realized that there was a group of people that was lying on the ground in the alleyway where they had agreed to meet previously.
He could see that each and every one of them had suffered an injury of a certain magnitude. Although the interest that they had suffered was nothing fatal, but even then, it was definitely not something that could be underestimated.
He looked further away from the three that were lying on the ground, and realized that Scarlet was looking towards him. And behind her, there was a young man who looked almost the same age as himself, whom he presumed to be the bodyguard.
He could not help but frown when he looked at Jaden. He did not like having another guy being beside Scarlet at all. And it seemed that this was the person that Scarlet's parents had arranged for him to be her bodyguard.
And by just looking at the area, she realized that somehow, Scarlet had been attacked. And those that had attacked was definitely this group that was on the ground.
Without hesitation, he immediately rushed forward and arrived where Scarlet was. He immediately looked at her, trying to see if there was any injury on her. He was immediately relieved when he realized that there was no injury that Scarlet had suffered.
Immediately after he was done scrutinizing Scarlet, he looked at her, anticipating the question that was to come. As for the matter of Jaden, he completely ignored the guy. It might be true that this guy was kind of capable, but he did not believe that he was the one that who had taken care of this group of gangsters.
Anyway, this was just an assumption that he had made due to the information that he had been given by Scarlet. Scarlet had previously informed him that Jaden was kind of capable, but she had definitely not informed him that he was strong enough to be able to deal with her. So, at this moment, Lucas believed that it was Scarlet who had dealt with this group of gangsters.
"Why are you so late?" Scarlet asked. Of course, she was completely irritated. Had it not been for the fact that Lucas was late, they would have definitely not encountered this situation.
If Lucas was here, that implied that he would have already noticed the presence of those gangsters. It would have not been impossible for him to be able to deal with them, though not personally.
By the time that she would have arrived here, there would definitely be no gangster that would have launched a sneak attack on her. And no matter how much she did not want to admit it, he understood that it was due to the presence of Jaden that she had managed to get out of this situation unscathed.
But of course, that did not imply that Jaden escaped the blame as well. After all, had it not been for the fact that Jaden was her bodyguard, she would have not been planning to come here all along in order to deal with him. Instead, she would have gone directly to the university, and nobody would have attacked her in this alleyway.
"I was kind of caught up with matters related to the family. For some reason, there was somebody that was trying to target my family. And for that reason, I had no choice but to deal with other matters before coming over. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that I caused." Lucas immediately explained with a forced smile on his face.
In any case, he really did not want to have Scarlet suffering anything like this at all. But the situation that he was encountering back at home was something that he could not simply ignore. In the end, he arrived late, and something like this happened.
Of course, although he did not say it loud, he was definitely going to make investigations of his own. The moment that he knew who it was that was behind this matter, he would immediately take care of them.
To a person like him, he really did not care if the person that had sent this group of gangsters to attack Scarlet was backed by the Williams or not. In any case, he would definitely deal with them when the time comes.
Scarlet did not say anything after hearing Lucas's explanation. In any case, it was not as if she did not understand the situation that Lucas was experiencing. In case his father actually asked this guy to remain at home, there was no way that this guy was going to resist at all.
In the end, since it had already come to this, Scarlet was no longer in the mood to deal with Jaden at the moment. Instead, she decided that it was better for her to go into campus first. After all, she could not tell if another group of gangsters would suddenly charge over to attack them again.
"Let's go. We will deal with the other matters later on. But for now, we have to focus on that group. We have to deal with them as soon as possible." Scarlet stated as she led the way out of the alley.
Lucas was a little surprised when he realized that Scarlet did not seem to have the intention of dealing with Jaden anymore. He looked at Jaden with a cold gaze, but the guy seemed to be ignoring him.
This was something that displeased him even more about this guy. But there was nothing that he could do for now. Of course, he understood the reason why Scarlet had decided not to deal with this guy for now. With her encountering this situation where she was attacked, it was definitely not the right opportunity for them to engage with another group of gangsters.
Even though Scarlet had decided that she was no longer going to deal with Jaden for now, that did not imply that Lucas was going to do the same. Instead, with a sinister smile on his face, he planned secretly in his mind, as he followed behind Scarlet.
Jaden had already detected that this new guy who had arrived here was definitely having some intentions towards him, and they were definitely not the best. But even then, there was nothing that he could do for now.
He had already anticipated that there might be something that Scarlet was planning before, but it seemed that the arrival of those gangsters that had been sent by the Williams had disrupted the plan that she was having before.
Nevertheless, he followed the two of them, while making sure that they would be no any other sneak attack on Scarlet. He was her bodyguard after all, and he had to ensure her security.
It did not take that long for them to be able to get back to the area where Scarlet had left the vehicle. Scarlet immediately got into the car, and Jaden did not waste time and immediately entered into the passenger seat of the Ferrari f8 spider.
This was something that completely irritated both Lucas and Scarlet. But even then, there was nothing that Scarlet could do for the time being. In any case, she was supposed to be together with Jaden, considering that he was kind of skilled, and he was her bodyguard. So, it was only right for him to go with her.
As for Lucas, he wanted to go ahead and pull Jaden out of the car, but when he looked at the eyes that Scarlet was looking at him, he understood her intention. It seemed that she had no choice but to have this guy accompany her.
As much as he was unwilling to have another man inside Scarlet's car, Lucas could only let it be. But of course, the rage within his heart had increased by a great margin. He himself had never entered into Scarlet's car, and he was thinking that perhaps this was a chance for him to be able to enter. But this guy just had to enter, destroying the opportunity that would definitely be difficult for him to be able to get again.
Through his gritted teeth, he could only subdue the anger that he was feeling at the moment, while watching the two of them entering into the campus.
Immediately after the two of them left, he took out his phone and made a call. A few moments later, somebody else received the call, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, Lucas immediately gave his instructions.
"We have changed the plans. The issue is not going to be taken care of right now. But within today, you have to find an opportunity in order to deal with that guy in the most cruel way possible. Make sure that he leaves after today, otherwise, you know what will happen." Lucas barked the orders with anger in his eyes, before ending the call and striding towards the entrance of the campus.
