Chapter 96: Punishment

Just as Lucas was finding it hard to believe, the man did not care. Instead, he continued speaking, "We are leaving right now. It is clear that you don't have enough capabilities to handle the matter that you had been sent over to deal with. So, it is time for you to go back."

Lucas looked at the man with an incredulous expression on his face. He did not believe that this guy was instructing him to leave just like that.

Thinking about the importance of the mission that he had been given, he could not accept to go back without succeeding. At least, even if he could not get the extras, at least he had to get the device from Jaden.

He looked at the man and said, "I'm not leaving unless I take the device that I was supposed to get from him. Otherwise, things are going to be complicated for me the moment that I go back."

The man's expression did not change at all. Maintaining his gaze with Lucas, he said, "This task is beyond your ability. So, it is better for you to retreat and ask for backup. Otherwise, the only end that you are going to get in this situation is your death."

Lucas expression shifted completely. He was completely unwilling to leave at this moment. So, he still complained, "How can the task be unmatched for me? Are you not supposed to be supporting me in this situation? With your presence here, it should be possible for me to be able to complete the mission without much of a hitch."

Looking at Lucas who was relentless, there was finally a shift of expression on the man's face. This time, his expression was extremely frosty. He looked directly into Lucas' eyes and said, "My task this time is simply to ensure your security. Since that is already assured, I will not be involved in anything that your family is doing at the moment.

Dealing with this young man in front of you and getting whatever it is that you want to get from him is not my business. Unless he acts against you, I will not take action. So, you better give up on the thought that I will take action."

Lucas wanted to continue arguing. But the man on the other hand did not seem to have the intention of arguing any further with Lucas. At an incredible speed that Lucas could not follow, the man suddenly knocked Lucas on the back of his neck.

Without any suspense, Lucas immediately collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. The man then looked at Jaden for a moment, before he bent down and picked up Lucas as if he was picking a sack of potatoes.

Shoving him onto his shoulder, the man immediately left the area. As for the bodyguards that were on the ground, they immediately began struggling. Those that could manage to get back on their feet immediately tried to pull along their colleagues who were currently unconscious.

Jaden watched as the group left, but he did not take any action against them. The movement of that man when he was knocking out Lucas was something that he had observed closely. That speed was definitely not something that he could handle at his current stage.

Even though there was no skill in that action, still, the speed itself was an indication that the other party possessed greater physical capability as compared to him. So, Jaden immediately thought that he had to find a way that he could strengthen himself, so that he could be able to match up with the combat skills that he had been rewarded by the system.

The girls on the other hand looked at Jaden with amazement in their eyes. Initially, they had never thought that Jaden was going to be able to deal with five men at the same time, the moment that the five showed their skills.

But things changed completely when Jaden managed to deal with all of them. Just when they were thinking that Jaden was going to deal with Lucas, somebody came over, and Jaden suddenly stopped making any moves against Lucas.

Lucas' arrogance was extremely high, and despite having all his five bodyguards being taken care of, he was talking fearlessly in front of Jaden, even going ahead to threaten him.

Luckily, it seemed that the man who had come over this time did not have the intention of taking action against them. Even though this was not the best result that they would have wanted, still, it was better that they were not going to face any fate that had been planned for them by Lucas.

Jaden did not say anything more after seeing the group disappearing down the corridor. Instead, he went ahead and checked Scarlet's condition. Currently, she was being supported by the lady with a green dress.

After confirming that there was nothing much other than high alcohol content, and being knocked out by some kind of drug, Jaden was immediately relieved.

He glanced at the ladies and said, "You should get out of this place right now. This place is definitely not safe for you for the time being."

Even though the ladies were quite reluctant, they immediately agreed to what Jaden had said. So, they picked up the other unconscious lady, and immediately prepared to leave.

At this moment, they suddenly looked towards the manager of the club, who was currently trembling all over. He was not sure if he was supposed to go or not, but in the end, he decided to remain here.

Lucas could leave, but the same could not be said about him. At the end of the day, this was his territory. So, he could only hope that Jaden would leave without causing any trouble for the club. Otherwise, he was definitely going to be in great trouble.

Despite believing that even the owner of the club was not going to take any action against Lucas, due to the background that he possessed, still, he had not informed the owner of the club about his arrangements.

In simple terms, he was trying to seize the opportunity to gain favor from Lucas. That way, he would be even more unrestrained within the club. But the plan had backfired, with the person that he was flattering being dealt with.

And the one that he was targeting being the strongest side was currently here. So, in case anything happened to the club, at the end of it all, he was going to be in deep sh*t.

After ensuring that Scarlet was okay, Jaden also looked towards the manager of the club. He looked at him with a cold expression and remained silent for a while.

It could be said that this manager did not have much to do with what had happened to Jaden. But even then, he was still involved in the plan that was intended to harm Scarlet and her group of friends.

Jaden got up from the ground where he was kneeling, next to Scarlet who was still lying on the ground, and began approaching the manager.

The manager's body trembled when he saw Jaden approaching. It was as if he was seeing death approaching with his own eyes. He wanted to retreat, but it was as if his feet were nailed onto the ground, and no matter how much effort he put in, he could not leave.

He was already soaked in sweat due to the fear that he was currently experiencing. And when Jaden arrived in front of him, he could only incoherently stutter.

"I…. I'm sorry about… what happened. I had no choice… but.. but to follow his commands. He-he instructed me… to act, or I… would be killed." The manager managed to force those words out of his mouth after a lot of struggle.

Jaden did not respond, and continue looking directly into the eyes of the manager. Just from the way that this guy was trembling all over, and how his eyes were looking from side to side, it was clear that he was lying.

Well, Jaden had already expected something like that. In any case, he had never had a good impression of this manager during the short time that he had been working in this Dynamic nightclub.

And now, it seemed that he was right. This guy was definitely one to flatter those with power, fear the enemies that were stronger than himself, while picking on the weak.

Jaden did not hesitate any longer and immediately took action. Before the manager could even react, he suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from his leg. At the same time, he suddenly lost his balance and collapsed onto the ground.

With horror in his eyes, while screaming, he looked towards his left leg. At that time, he was horrified when he realized that his leg had actually been broken, and was currently bent in a weird manner.

Jaden had decisively struck the knee of the manager. With his strength, and the other party not being prepared, Jaden was able to easily break the leg. And currently, one could see that somehow, blood was already dying the suit that the manager was wearing as he screamed in pain.

Jaden's expression did not change at all. He had already learned how to be decisive during the time that he had been surviving in the streets. So, something like breaking somebody's limb was not new to him. But of course, killing was definitely different.

Looking at the screaming manager, Jaden stated with a frown on his face, "That is the punishment for the mistake that you have made. Additionally, go and see Nathan. Tell him to tell you my details, so that you can transfer to me the salary for the time that I was working here."

Immediately after saying those words, Jaden went ahead and carried Scarlet in princess style. He was extremely careful, considering that Scarlet was currently unconscious.
