Plan Failed

Sylvia had already expected that Scarlet was not going to agree. So, she turned her attention and looked at Jaden. "Do you want to spar with me?" She asked with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Jaden was not expecting that Sylvia was going to ask to fight with him. To say the truth, he really did want to test out the full abilities of the beginner level combat skills. But right now, it was definitely not the time for that.

Additionally, just from the fact that Scarlet seemed to be afraid of this lady called Sylvia, she definitely wasn't easy to handle. Since that was the case, it was better for him not to engage her that much. Otherwise, he might end up embarrassing himself.

So in the end, he shook his head and responded, "I don't think that is good, right? I need to be in my full condition in order to carry out my duty starting tomorrow."

Jaden had just looked for an excuse to use in order to refuse Sylvia. Of course, he had to go and adapt to his strength, know his limits first, before engaging in any fight. Otherwise, he might end up blanching himself in a fight that he would not be able to win.

When Sylvia heard what Jaden had said, he could not help but purse her lips. How could she not tell that Jaden was simply trying to give an excuse here, so that he could not fight against her?

To say the truth, she had already been bored here, and was looking forward to a thrill, fighting someone like Jaden. She had seen that Jaden possessed quite some skills, and it seemed that he was holding back by a good margin when fighting against Scarlet.

She wanted to know the limits that this guy possessed, and for that reason, she was quite excited to fight against him.

But in any case, since the other party did not want to fight, then there was no need for her to force things. It was always good to fight against a person who wanted to fight against her, and only that way would she be able to gain something.

But before Sylvia could say anything, Scarlet who was still within the ring looked at Jaden. Then, she thought of something and said, "What do you mean by being in a good condition tomorrow? You can just fight, and you'll be in good shape the moment that you wake up tomorrow morning. After all, how many hours are there until evening of today?"

Scarlet had already realized that it was impossible for her to be able to deal with Jaden personally. And since there was an opportunity here, she had to take it. She understood the strength that Sylvia possessed, and she believed that Sylvia was definitely capable of dealing with this guy.

If Sylvia actually managed to beat up this guy quite well, perhaps he would be embarrassed to stay here, and would decide to leave. That was something that she was looking forward to.

Moreover, she was definitely not happy about the fact that despite all the skills that she possessed, she was actually not capable of dealing with Jaden. Although she had managed to hit him once, but that seemed to be out of luck, and due to the fact that Jaden was not taking her seriously.

When Jaden heard Scarlet, he could not help but curse in his heart silently. This lady was always trying to look for trouble for him, and since she was not capable of dealing with him, she was actually trying to borrow a knife here.

"Leave it at that. Since he doesn't want to fight, it is definitely not going to be good if he fights under coercion. I guess we will fight next time that Scarlet will be free." Sylvia waved her hand as she said those words.

Completely different from Scarlet, she did not want to fight against Jaden simply because she wanted to teach him a lesson, but instead, she wanted to have a different experience of fighting another person.

But since he was not willing, it was not like she was going to use her authority to force him to fight her. Moreover, what he had said kind of made sense. If she accidentally injured him, he would definitely not be in a good condition to be able to take care of Scarlet the following day.

Scarlett was of course not happy about the fact that Sylvia was also not willing to push for a fight between the two of them. But since Sylvia was not willing, there was nothing that she could do. She could only look at Jaden resentfully, before she left the ring, and the underground basement.

Jaden also did not stay here, and immediately left. He had to deal with the information that he had been given the moment that the beginner combat skills were granted to him.

Sylvia looked at his departing back and thought to herself, 'I do wonder what kind of background this guy possesses. To say the truth, it seems that he is quite more skillful as compared to many of the bodyguards that have been hired by the family. But even then, he is quite young as compared to them.'

In the end, Sylvia shook her head and decided to continue training on her own. There was nothing that she could do for now, considering that she did not have a sparring partner. She could only depend on herself to improve.

…

After Jaden left the gym that was located in the main mansion, he immediately went back to his room. After that, he began going through the information that he had received.

The more he read the information, the more amazed he became. He had not expected that even the beginner level combat skills would actually be so amazing.

Then what about the next levels that came after the beginning level? How awesome would he be if he managed to get those skills?

[The host doesn't have to worry much about the skills that he will be granted by the system. The categorization of the system is a level higher as compared to the categorization used by the humans in this world.]

[According to the system's calculations, the beginner level combat skills should be about the advanced level skills of this world.]

Jaden was immediately amazed after hearing that. It seemed that wherever this system came from, it was definitely from a higher level as compared to the human race in this world. But this was to be expected considering how powerful the system was.

Having already experienced the benefits of the system, Jaden could not help but look forward to even more benefits. At this moment, he was wondering what kind of reward he was going to receive after completing the survival mission that was going to end after an entire week.

But in any case, he hoped that it was going to be good. At this rate, if he managed to get a mission on a daily basis, and managed to complete it and receive the rewards from the system, he was definitely going to be invincible in this world, right?

Just as Jaden was getting excited about the future, another prompt appeared in front of him.

[The host should understand that despite the fact that he is going to be assisted by the system in order to get stronger, that does not imply that there are no dangers in this world.]

[Some dangers are hidden, and not everything that you see is all that this world possesses.]

Immediately after that final notification, the system did not say anything else and remained silent. But even then, the excitement that Jaden was possessing before had dissipated. This was a warning from the system, implying that even if he got stronger, that implied that there might be someone else that was stronger than he was.

For example, even if he was good at fighting, if somebody came with a gun and shot him, he would definitely not be able to survive. And even if he was capable of dodging the bullets, could he dodge a bomb that possessed a wide explosion magnitude?

Thinking of this, Jaden could not help but feel a chill running down his spine. At this moment, he realized that no matter how strong he was, he had to play low-key.

Otherwise, if he attracted too much attention, he might end up getting killed without even knowing how he had died. After all, not every form of attention was beneficial to a person, considering that he might end up attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Jaden relaxed. Due to the injection or the beginner level combat skills into his body, he had sweat a little. And with that, Jaden decided to go ahead and take another shower. After that, he changed into another pair of casual clothes, a blue jeans and a green t-shirt.

Then, he relaxed in the room, hoping that another mission would suddenly pop up in front of him. At the same time, he just hoped that Scarlet would not start looking for trouble with him. Otherwise, if he lost this job, he was definitely going to lose a good opportunity to be able to get stronger.

…

As Jaden was relaxing, in the Williams mansion that was located in the very western part of the city, there was a meeting that was going on.

"We have to take care of the Johnsons as soon as possible. If they continue existing within this city, they will definitely hinder our expansion. Moreover, the mission that we have been given will definitely not be able to succeed if there is another person that can compete with us." A middle aged man with long beards stated with a solemn expression.
