Trouble?

[First mission generated. The host has to make sure that he maintains his position as a bodyguard. Time limit, 1 week. Rewards would be calculated depending on how well the mission was completed, together with the difficulties encountered.]

Jaden was not expecting that the system was going to give him a mission at the moment like this. But even then, he could not help but get a little excited about the mission that he had been given by the system.

Of course, it was not that he was happy about the content of the mission, but instead, he was happy about being given a mission by the system. This implied that as long as he succeeded, he would definitely be rewarded by something that would be able to increase his strength.

But the moment that he went through the information about the mission, he could not help but crease his brows a little. Why the hell was the mission informing him that he was supposed to maintain his position as a bodyguard for an entire week.

Just how difficult was it for him to be able to maintain the position as a bodyguard for a week? But thinking about the information that he had been given about Scarlet, being a very stubborn person, he could not help but wonder if it was going to be difficult for him to maintain the position.

But even then, no matter what, he was definitely not willing to give up. He had to make sure that he maintained the position as a bodyguard. It was not that he was happy to be someone's lackey, but instead, this was the only way out of the misery that he had been going through, at least he hoped.

So, with determination clear in his heart, he decided that no matter what, he had to complete the mission. As for what Anthony had said about being targeted by other people, he really didn't care about it. In any case, as long as he managed to survive for a week, that was definitely a possibility for him to get something that was going to enable him to get stronger, increasing his survival chances.

Anthony looked at Jaden, and he could not help but be a little surprised to the moment that he realized that there was not much of a change of expression on Jaden's face.

At that moment, he internally nodded. It seemed that the person that his father had brought over was definitely quite competent. The only thing that they would have to pay attention to was the matter of his ability to do the job.

They had already gone through the background that he possessed, and according to the background, he was definitely fit for the job. But even then, that was just information that they had gotten, and not the practical ability that he possessed, well, at least what they had seen.

The two of them continued walking around the mansion and the area, trying to make sure that Jaden got familiar with the area.

Since he was going to be living in this place, then Jaden had to be familiar with everything. After all, as a bodyguard, he had to be familiar with the environment that he was going to make sure the safety of his client was assured.

After about 30 minutes of going around and chatting with Anthony, the two of them finally decided to go back to the mansion.

…

On the other hand, inside the mansion, the lady looked at Clifford and asked, "According to the information about this young man, it seems that he is quite competent. But even then, some of the information about him is kind of incredulous considering his age."

Clifford looked at his wife silently as he pondered for a moment. Then, he looked at Steven who was standing behind the couch that the two of them were currently sitting on, and Steven immediately understood the signal.

Without hesitation, he took a tablet that he was having inside his coat and handed it over to Clifford. Clifford received it and went through the information that had already been opened silently.

The Information that was possessed inside that tablet would have definitely surprised even Jaden himself, despite the fact that the information was about him.

According to the information that was displayed there, Jaden possessed quite a simple background. He lost his family at the age of 15, and was forced to depend on himself for several years until today.

But even then, at some point in time in between after he had lost his parents, he had joined an organization that was in charge of training people, especially teenagers within the country.

That was an independent organization in the country and it was given the permission of doing that. Those that entered into that organization would definitely come out with incredible abilities.

And according to the information, it seemed that Jaden had gone into that organization, and had come out just about 3 years ago. But within those past 3 years, he had just been doing simple jobs, trying to survive without even utilizing the abilities that he possessed.

Of course, even the information about him being beaten close to death was displayed within the tablet, showing how terrifying the Johnson's were when it came to looking for information about a person within the city.

Clifford could not help but frown a little. But even then, he did not say anything, and continued going through the information. After a while, he handed back the tablet to Steven, and contemplated for a moment.

"According to the information displayed here, as long as he joined that organization, he definitely possesses enough ability to protect our daughter. It might be true that he might not possess enough abilities considering that he spent only a short time within the organization, but even then, it is better for now, considering that we don't have that much of an option for the moment." Clifford stated all of that in a single breath.

Lynette remained silent as she knew what Clifford had said was the truth. At the moment, with the Williams pressing so hard on them, it was definitely going to be difficult for them to be able to find somebody that was going to be protecting Scarlet.

"I guess with the skills that he gained during the time that he was in that organization, he can actually manage to hold on for a few days. After that, we can simply look for another person who is more skilled. But that will require us to utilize more resources in order to find that person." Lynette stated with a frown on her face.

Clifford agreed with her but he did not say anything. Of course, he understood that the job that they had given Jaden was definitely quite difficult. So, the only thing that they could hope was for Jaden to be able to hold on for a few days before they found another person to take the position.

Of course, they did not have that much of expectations from Jaden, as they believed that he did not have that much of an ability to be able to hold on for much longer. After all, the people that they were dealing with were not simple.

"Though, we have to do something about Scarlet. We all know that if she knows that we have hired a bodyguard for her, she is definitely going to cause trouble for him." Lynette stated with a hint of concern on her face.

After hearing what Lynette had said, Clifford simply dismissed it. "If he simply cannot even handle Scarlet, then that implies that he definitely doesn't qualify to take the position of guarding her. If he cannot even deal with her, how is he supposed to deal with the trouble that she cannot deal with?"

After hearing what Clifford had said, Lynette did not say anything. Instead, she simply thought that what he had said was actually true. If Jaden could not even handle Scarlet, then there was definitely no use for his presence at all.

After the two of them came into an agreement, Clifford finally looked at Steven and instructed, "Make sure that all arrangements are made. You can inform Scarlet in advance, so that she knows what is going on. I don't want her to come here to be surprised by what we have done."

"Yes master." Steven stated in response after giving a slight bow. Then, he turned around, going to carry out the order that he had been given.

Lynette on the other hand looked at Clifford with raised brows. She could not help but ask, "Are you sure that this is going to help? I'm pretty sure that the moment that you inform Scarlett about what has happened here, she might actually even decide not to come back home. And if she comes back home, she is definitely going to cause trouble for that young man."

"I understand that she doesn't want a bodyguard at this moment at all. She has always been stubborn all her life, but we have no choice this time. We cannot allow her to play around just like that. As for causing trouble for Jaden, this is going to be the first test. If he cannot handle the situation here, we can at least make an early decision on what to do next." Clifford responded nonchalantly.

Immediately after saying those words, he got up and left the living room. Lynette thought about what Clifford had said, and she thought that he was actually right. In any case, this was just a test if Jaden could actually manage to handle Scarlet. Otherwise, they could just dismiss him.
