Chapter 149: {GT-Bonus Chapter}Contents of the Flash Disk

Jaden and Scarlet reached the staircase, and took the stairs to the 8th floor. Since Scarlet had already decided that she was no longer going to continue shopping, Jaden was more than happy to accompany her so that they could leave.

Of course, they could have simply taken another elevator and left, it was just that the elevator was located on the other end of the floor, and none of the two even bothered to go towards it.

They maintained silence as they moved down the stairs. Jaden released Scarlet from his grasp, and continued walking beside her.

Scarlet was completely silent all this while. She did not know how to react, and was just subconsciously following what Jaden was doing. Since he was leaving, she was also doing the same.

"I hope that you don't think too much about what happened. I realized that you don't seem to like that guy, so, I decided to do this so that you can no longer be entangled with him, at least for now." Jaden stated after a moment of silence.

It was only when Jaden had spoken that finally, Scarlet came out of her reverie. For a moment there, she did not know how to react. At first, she was relieved considering that Jaden was not serious about what he was saying when he was in front of Kevin.

But at the same time, she could not help but feel a hint of disappointment suddenly rising within her heart. She was not sure about this feeling, and the reason why she was disappointed, but nonetheless, she decided not to say anything about it.

"We should go and do something else. I don't think that I am in the mood to attend class anymore." Scarlet stated.

Currently, she could feel that her emotions and thoughts were chaotic. So, she did not even want to bother with going to class. In any case, every time that she went to class, she did not pay that much attention to what the lecturer would be saying.

So, rather than going there to waste her time, it was better to go and do something else so that she could stop thinking much about it. And when she thought much about it, she decided that it was better if she went to meet up with her friends once again.

The friends that she was thinking about were Christine and the rest of the girls. She felt more comfortable in their presence, as compared to Lucas and Vincent's group.

While it might be true that they were friends, still, the friendship was made out of benefits and family relationship. On the other hand, while it might be true that the other friendship that she had formed was due to benefits as well, still, it was at least more reliable as compared to the former.

"If there is nothing that you would want to do for the time being, why don't you give me about 30 minutes. There is something that I would like to do with my laptop, other than just checking if the laptop is okay." Jaden stated.

Of course, just like Scarlet, he did not like attending the classes. They were making his head buzz and he would occasionally feel dizzy, as if he was going to sleep in the next moment. But since he was a bodyguard, he had no choice but to maintain being awake. He could not afford sleeping while on duty.

Scarlet thought about it, and decided that they would be going back to the residence. She would go and vent the emotions in her heart at the moment on Sylvia.

She had been improving, and she believed that at some point in time, he would be able to defeat Sylvia. So, it was better for her to get familiar with the way that Sylvia fought, so that in the future, she could easily be able to take her down.

"Okay. Let's go back. We will go out again after about 2 hours. I do believe by that time, you will have already completed what you would have been doing, right?" Scarlet suggested.

"Yeah. There is no problem with that." Jaden responded. In any case, he was not planning to do anything big. Instead, he was simply planning to go and check out what was inside that flash disk.

And when he thought about the flash disk, and the contents that might be within it, he could not help but get a little nervous. After all, it was related to his parents, the ones that he had lost more than 6 years ago.

The two of them did not talk anymore, and managed to get into the elevator on the 8th floor, before taking it towards the ground floor. Then, they got back to the parking lot, and Jaden became the driver.

Scarlet's current state of mind was not good for her to drive. After all, Jaden had already observed her, and as they were getting down from the 8th floor while inside the elevator, Scarlet was thinking of something, with her eyes looking into the distance, even though they were within the confines of the elevator.

When they reached the Johnsons residence, Jaden immediately went to his residence. Along the way, he received a prompt from the system, indicating that the mission had been completed.

Still, he did not pay attention to it for the time being, instead, he focused on getting back to his room. He got inside, closed the door, and unpacked the laptop.

He looked at the laptop, quite small in size, completely black in color, that was currently sitting on the small desk that was present within the bedroom. He sat behind the desk on the chair, and booted up the laptop.

He went ahead to do a few settings for the laptop, including adding his email and so on. Finally, after everything was set, he took the flash disk that he was always carrying around with him.

Jaden looked at the silver flash disk in his hand. Currently, it was in the normal small metal bar that he had found like before. Jaden went ahead and tapped it seven times, before it transformed, revealing the head of the flash disk.

After taking a deep breath, Jaden inserted the flash disk in the USB port of the laptop. After that, he entered the laptop's This PC, and accessed the USB drive.

He opened It, only to realize that there was only a single folder. He opened the folder, and realized that the folder only contained a video. He could not tell what the videos about through the thumbnail of the video, so, he had to open it.

Still, Jaden hesitated for a moment, as his hand shook a little. He took the earphones that came with the phone that he had just purchased, and inserted it in the laptop, to make sure that nobody would hear the sound of the video.

He was not sure about the contents of the video, but in case it was supposed to be confidential, it was better for him to take measures that will ensure it remained so. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally got the courage to open the video.

The entire screen of the laptop was displaying the video at the moment. It was currently pitch black on the screen, with nothing being displayed.

Jaden could not help but frown, as the video was not playing, other than showing darkness for almost an entire minute. And when he was getting a little impatient, about to forward the video that was 57 minutes long, finally, the scene shifted.

The darkness suddenly disappeared, and what was revealed was a laboratory. Jaden could see that several equipment such as beakers, measuring cylinders and so on, including even microscopes in the background.

There was a desk and a chair at the forefront of the video. It was just that the chair was currently unoccupied. From the looks of it, the video was recorded by a camera or a phone camera that was on a stand, considering that it was not shaking.

A few seconds later, Jaden finally heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Then in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

It was a middle-aged lady wearing a white lab coat on top of the green dress that she reached just below her knees. She possessed long black hair that was tied in a ponytail.

She went ahead and sat down on the chair behind the desk. She looked directly into the camera, as if she was looking straight at Jaden. The ruby eyes contained a lot of emotions as they stared directly at the camera, but it was difficult to be able to decipher what emotions they were.

A moment of silence went by, before finally, the lady spoke up. From how long she had taken to speak, it was clear that she was in a very emotional state, and hints of tears could be seen glimmering in her eyes.

"Jaden, I'm not sure when it is that you are watching this. But, when you are watching this, I'm pretty sure that your father and I have already gone. We tried as much as possible to hold on, but it seems that it was impossible for us to be able to accompany you throughout your growth, to the time that you would be able to marry.

Sigh! Let's forget about that for the time being. I do know that you are very emotional at this moment, as we left you so early on. But believe me, we had no choice. This was something that was bound to happen, and I'm happy that you were not implicated."

There was a moment of silence that lasted for a few seconds, before the lady continued, "Now, there is something that I would like to reveal to you. So, pay attention, and make a decision after hearing what I have to say."
