Chapter 87: Independence and Reliance

Scarlet on the other hand did not seem to be bothered by what the others were saying. Instead, after she found a seat, she looked at Jaden and asked, "What do you want to do? You can decide that on your own. If you want to stay, or you want to take another room for yourself."

The other ladies In the room could not help but be surprised when Scarlet asked that question. In normal occasions, Scarlet would definitely make the decisions herself. But right now, she was actually asking a person, especially considering that the person that she was asking was her subordinate.

Jaden thought about it for a while, before responding, "There's no need for you to trouble yourself that much. I'll just be going around for a little while. I do believe that you will be here for quite a while, right?"

"Yeah. I'll be here for quite some time. What is it? Do you have something that you want to deal with?" Scarlet responded with raised brows.

"There's something that I need to handle. It will not take that long. The moment that I finish dealing with it, I will be around. So, in case you need me, just contact me." Jaden responded, before he went ahead and left the private room.

Scarlet already possessed his contacts. So, it was not going to be impossible for her to be able to find him in case she needed him for something.

Of course, it seemed to be idiotic for him to just leave like that. After all, he was supposed to be handling the security related to Scarlet. But if he left and went quite a distance away from her, and something happened while he was away, it would definitely be troublesome for his career.

Still, Jaden was not worried about that. In any case, he believed that in case Scarlet was in trouble, he would receive a prompt from the system. So, the moment that he received a mission from the system, he would rush over as soon as possible.

Additionally, he was still going to be within the same building. So, there was no need for him to worry about anything. It was only going to take a few minutes for him to be able to get back.

The best part of it was the fact that the system always granted the missions to him, even before the danger came. So, he usually got enough time to make preparations.

Scarlet did not say anything when she saw that Jaden had left. Still, the same could not be said about the other ladies around her. In total, inside the room, there were six ladies, including Scarlet.

"That's new. I never thought that you would actually change like that. Should I think that you actually changed your personality, or you are just treating him specially?" A lady with her hair tied in a ponytail asked with a cunning smile on her face.

"That's right. Scarlet, why don't you tell us what is going on between the two of you? Could it be that you have finally found your other half?" Another lady chimed in.

"What are you guys even asking? It is obvious that Scarlet has already found her perfect match. But even then, I'm quite curious about the capabilities that he possesses." A lady wearing a green dress interjected.

"She should tell us his capabilities, before we go ahead to test him. As long as I can remember, Scarlet had told us that she was only going to get involved with a man who was stronger than her. Could it be that this guy is stronger than her?"

"That might actually be the case. This is the first time that I have seen Scarlet introducing someone as her bodyguard. It is clear that this person is quite qualified for him to be able to act as a bodyguard for Scarlet."

"Yeah. Otherwise, with Scarlet's capabilities, it is not impossible for her to protect herself. Additionally, in case a person is weaker than Scarlet, how would they be expecting to protect her?"

Scarlet could not help but feel anger surging within her heart. This group of girls was obviously teasing her. Veins had already popped up on her face as she glared at the group that was still enthusiastically making assumptions that were not valid at all.

"Stop speaking nonsense now!" Not being capable of taking it anymore, Scarlet shouted. The private room that was previously chaotic with the girls discussing with each other suddenly obtained a moment of silence.

It could be said that each and every lady here was kind of afraid of Scarlet. It might be true that they were all independent ladies, but that did not imply that they actually possessed combat capabilities like Scarlet.

In fact, other than Scarlet, there was only a single lady who possessed combat capabilities. As for the rest, the only reason why they were part of the group was simply because they were independent.

They did not depend on their families, but they had managed to make a name for themselves within an industry that they were involved in.

In short, each and every one of them had invested somewhere, and were dealing with a certain business. This was their source of income.

This group that they had created was for assistance. Since they were ladies, it was clear that they would face problems almost everywhere that they went. So, they created the group for support.

In case muscles were required somewhere, Scarlet and the other lady would be called over. And in case others were having a problem in dealing with something that was related to something else that another person could handle, that person would be immediately contacted.

In fact, other than the cooperation between them, it could be said that they were quite good friends. So, when they were assisting each other, they were doing it with all their hearts.

After the group had finally stopped talking nonsense, Scarlet looked at them and said, "He is my bodyguard. In any case, any business related to him does not concern you that much. So, you can stop blabbering nonsense here about the relationship between me and him."

The other ladies wanted to continue teasing Scarlet, but looking at her expression, they knew that if they did that, they were going to be in deep trouble. So, they decided to keep quiet, and let the matter rest.

Of course, the silence in the room did not continue for long. Instead, after a while, the lady in a green dress spoke up.

"Guys, I have recently run into a little problem. There is a company that is competing with me. I have already defeated them several times in the clashes that we have had recently." The lady stated.

Without leaving the group in suspense, she continued, "Everything had been going on quite well all this while. But everything suddenly changed recently. It seems that the other party has decided to change the tactic.

Instead of competing with me in business, they have decided to begin targeting me personally. Other than that, they would occasionally send a few crooks to come over and cause trouble for me in the company, disrupting the business."

Upon reaching this point, she looked at Scarlet and said, "What do you think about helping me taking care of them? They usually do things discreetly, in such a way that it is extremely difficult for me to be able to find any evidence against them. So, it is useless to call the police over."

"Humph! If it is just a group of gangsters, there's no problem with that. I should be able to handle it. You can just tell me the day that they are there, and I will immediately come over to deal with them. But, you have to make sure that it is within this week.

Otherwise, it is going to be a little difficult for me to be able to come over. My dad is definitely not going to allow me to go out so often in the future." Scarlet responded with arrogance clear in her voice.

The lady in green smiled happily. Even though she already expected that Scarlet was going to help her, hearing the consent from the other party, she was of course happy.

"Hey Scarlet, could it be that you are going to be grounded? That is completely unusual." The lady with a ponytail could not help but ask curiously.

"It's just a little trouble for my family. Nevertheless, it is not that much related to me. So, after they deal with the trouble, they will finally allow me to roam around freely. Still, within this one week, I should be quite free. So, if you have any problem that need some muscles, just tell me." Scarlet responded after a helpless sigh.

"That's good. Though, on my side, I don't really have any problems that require physical capabilities. So, you don't have to worry much about it. What about you guys?" The lady with a ponytail responded. Then, she asked while looking at the rest of the ladies within the room.

The others also said that they did not have any problem, other than the lady in green.

Scarlet could not help but get a little disappointed. She always anticipated occasions like this, where she would be needed. But now, since there was only one person, she would have to do that.

The group then went ahead and chatted with one another, while occasionally drinking and eating the food that had been served to them. Since this was a club, the food here could not be compared to the one that could be found within the best hotels.

Nevertheless, the club definitely possessed quite some good drinks. And so, those ladies that were not going to drive drank without caring. So, a few minutes later, a few of them got drunk.

Jaden had already left the private room. This time, he was heading straight to the managers office. Previously, he had left this place without receiving his monthly salary. So, he was going to ask for his share. He could not work for an entire month without being paid, right?
