[Compulsory Mission generated. As a bodyguard, it's your duty to ensure the safety of your client, but it's not your responsibility to change the way they are. Mission: Help the client complete the task in hand and get out of here safely. Reward; 2 Physique Enhancing Pills.]

Jaden was surprised upon the issuance of the compulsory mission. All the times that he had received a compulsory mission from the system was when Scarlet was in danger. Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But looking at the situation here, it should not be that difficult for Scarlet to get out of here safely. Of course, that was on the premise that there was a gun here, something that Jaden doubted.

In normal occasions, Jaden would have simply asked Scarlet to get out of here as it was dangerous, enabling him to complete the mission without much of a problem.

The problem now was that the system had made conditions of the mission to be known. He had to help Scarlet do what she was intending to do safely. So, they could not leave as that was against the mission.

Since this was a compulsory mission, he could not afford to fail. After all, by failing, there was a great chance that Scarlet would die. And with her death, he would no longer have a system, something he didn't want to happen.

So, even though he was not showing much on his face, he was extremely vigilant. At this moment, he was paying a very close attention to the gangsters.

As they entered the bar, Jaden suddenly thought of something. If this group of goons was paying attention to Alfie's family, it was not impossible for one or the two if them present at this moment to have seen him before.

With him coming here, the gangsters would already know the reason, and would definitely not allow him to get to the area that they were keeping hostages.

Additionally, Jaden felt that there was something out of place here. Unless they were extremely confident, the gangsters would definitely not allow Alfie to know where they were keeping his family.

Additionally, if this was very important, the security here would not be that lax as it was at this moment. Everything that Jaden thought about pointed towards the fact that there was something unusual going on here.

While Jaden was thinking, he made sure to pay attention to his surroundings. Currently, the bar only had a few people, the majority of whom were the ones who had spent the entire night here getting drunk.

As for others, Jaden could not tell much but were definitely those that had come this morning to drink. This was not something unusual in bars like this.

The group of three walked towards the furthest end of the bar where there was a door. Above the door was a plaque that had words 'Staff Only' written on it.

Of course, the three of them did not care about that. They looked around for a while before taking the table that was close to the door.

A few seconds later, a man came over and asked them the drink that they would like to have. Alfie immediately ordered for three bottles of beer.

When the cheap beer was brought over with three mugs, Alfie went ahead and began drinking his own. He did not even bother to pour the beer into the mug.

Jaden did not have any intention of drinking the alcohol, even though it was of a lower content. Scarlet on the other hand did not even bother to look at the beer. To her, this cheap drink was not something that she would like to have.

Even though she usually drank wine, that was only when she was with Christine and the other ladies. She only drank because of the competitive spirit, and not because she liked drinking.

Alfie did not mind the two of them not drinking at all. Instead, he focused on drinking the beer, emptying the bottle a little while later.

It seemed that Alfie was quite stressed up just from the frustration that could be seen on his face as he drank. He did not care about Jaden and Scarlet as he went ahead and grabbed the bottle in front of Jaden and began drinking.

"Let's get going. This is the chance." Scarlet stated, bringing Alfie, who was just about to finish the third and the last bottle, back to the task at hand.

"Burp!" Bang!

He burped as he finally gulped down the final contents of the bottle. He then place the empty bottle on the table loudly, attracting some attention, as he stood up.

Then, when they were sure that nobody was looking their way, they hurriedly entered through the open door that was supposed to be used by only the staff of the bar.

The three of them moved quite fast. They understood that with them disappearing from here, they would definitely cause a commotion as some might think that they had escaped paying the bill, even though it was just a small amount for the three bottles of cheap brand less beer.

The moment that they went through the door, they appeared inside a corridor. They rushed down the corridor, ignoring the two doors along the way.

They had just arrived at a corner that led to the right when suddenly, they met with one of the staff members of the bar.

"You, who are you?! You are not supposed-" The lady had just began speaking when suddenly, a punch landed squarely on her face.

Then before she could scream in pain, a jab on the back of the neck made her fall onto the ground, unconscious.

Jaden was surprised by how fast Scarlet had acted to knock out the lady. Well, she was really decisive when it came to handling this matter.

The three of them moved forward. They did not have the time to hide the unconscious lady, as there was basically nowhere that they could hide her. Additionally, they were going to fight in the end, making no difference in attempting to hide her.

They reached the end of the corridor. Here, there was a staircase that led down below. With Alfie taking the lead, the three of them rushed down the staircase.

The moment that they reached the end of the staircase, they found that there was a wooden door blocking their path. Alfie tried opening the door, only to find that it was locked, making it impossible for them to progress beyond this point. Discover more content at m,v l'e-NovelFire

Alfie frowned as he contemplated his next action. He was not sure on what he was supposed to do. By trying to break the door, they would obviously attract attention towards them. But, there was no any other choice right now considering that they did not have that much time.

As he was still hesitating, he felt that someone was pushing him. He reacted instinctively, thinking that it was an enemy, when he noticed that the one who was holding his shoulder was Jaden. He thus prevented himself from taking action.

Jaden did not care much about Alfie's reaction. For him at this moment, completing this mission was a must do. After all, it was not that easy for him to get a chance of getting 2 physique enhancing pills. So, he was not willing to fail this mission, other than the fact that he could not afford to.

Jaden pressed his left ear against the door and listened. Both Scarlet and Alfie cooperated though puzzled, by not making any sound.

Jaden listened for a few seconds before using his fingers to knock on the door twice. After that, he made no any other movement as he listened intently.

Finally, he took a step back. The moment that he did that, finally, Scarlet and Alfie could breath freely.

"What were you doing?" Scarlet asked curiously.

"Just confirming something." Jaden responded. Immediately after that, he took two more steps backwards, reaching the starting point of the staircase.

"You two will have to get away from the door now." Jaden stated without looking at the two.

Even though they did not understand, Alfie and Scarlet cooperated and moved behind Jaden. Alfie even went further to keep an eye towards the other end of the staircase, just in case there was someone that was going to come over.

After the two had moved from the door, Jaden took a deep breath. Then in the next moment, he stomped towards the door, an area close to where the lock of the door was.

Bang! Crack!

Immediately after his foot made contact with the door, there was a huge sound produced. In the next moment, the door cracked as it swung open, with only the part where there was a lock remaining there.

Alfie and Scarlet's mouths went agape. This was something that they had never seen before. Alfie had no choice but to swallow the words that he wanted to say.

Jaden did not care about the reactions of the two. Instead, he focused on what was revealed in front of them after the door opened.

Behind that wooden door, there was a well lit room. The room was well decorated, looking completely different from the bar that looked so old.

He could see that there was a set of furniture within the room, and they were of a high quality. But, that was not what caught Jaden's attention. Instead, it was the young girl that was looking at him with horror in her eyes.

She stood there, looking at Jaden as if she was looking at a monster, her eyes bulged, with her mouth hanging wide open.
