"As usual, we have been doing good. It is just that Scarlet has been troublesome recently, that they had to get a bodyguard for her." Sylvia responded as she looked at Scarlet with a provocative expression."Hey! Who are you calling a troublemaker?!" Scarlet questioned as she looked at Sylvia. She got into a fighting stance, as if she was about to start fighting with Sylvia all over again.
Currently, the two ladies had already changed into another pair of clothes. They had taken showers and came over as quickly as possible. Had it not been that they had to maintain their image, they would have definitely rushed here while soaked in sweat.
"Seriously? I guess that that bodyguard has already quit his job, right?" Slightly surprised, Alexander asked with a knowing smile on his face.
"Not really. You might not believe this, but he has been her bodyguard for over a month now. It is already nearing two months. Scarlet was not capable of chasing this one away. In fact, I'm pretty sure that she is interested in him instead. And if he decides to leave, she will be the first one to prevent him from leaving." Sylvia responded.
"I will fight it out with you!" With a red face, Scarlet suddenly jumped towards Sylvia. She was ready to fight.
Although he was startled, Alexander was able to react quickly, and got in between the two ladies. He held Scarlet, preventing her from attacking Sylvia.
Even though he believed that it was not necessary for him to do that, as he understood that Sylvia was stronger than Scarlet, still, he did not want the two ladies to start duking it out with each other at this moment.
Scarlet managed to calm down when she was held back by Alexander. Still, she glared at Sylvia, indicating that this was not the end of this matter. They would definitely solve it later on.
With an incredulous expression on his face, Alex looked at his sister. He could see that there was a faint blush on her face, which was something new to him.
"I'm quite curious about this guy that has managed to charm my younger sister. I do remember that at some point in time, my sister claimed that she would only marry a man that was stronger than her. I wonder what changed." Alexander asked with a teasing voice.
Scarlet simply turned her head to face another direction, without responding. It was Sylvia that responded.
"That guy definitely has the qualities that Scarlet has been looking for. After all, the quality that Scarlet has ever looked for in a man is just for the man to be stronger than herself. And, that guy is stronger than her, and has been even training us over the past few weeks." Sylvia stated.
"That's new. I know that the bodyguards that are usually found by father for her are always strong. But even though they are usually stronger than her physically, they cannot handle her when she begins making trouble.
As far as I remember, she has always made sure that all the bodyguards that were hired for her resigned from their positions a few days after they were hired. I wonder what is different with this guy." Alexander asked curiously.
"She tried, but she failed. Not only is that guy strong physically, but it seems that it is impossible for him to just quit his position. Simply put, he is strong mentally as well." Sylvia responded.
"Now, I'm getting curious about him. If there is a chance, I would like to spar with him." Alexander said.
Then suddenly, he looked at Sylvia and asked, "You should have seen him fighting, right? After all, he is training you."
"Yeah. Even though I have not seen him in real action, I have sparred with him a few times." Sylvia replied with a confused expression. She was not sure about what Alexander was trying to get to.
"What do you think if the two of us fight. Who do you think will win?" Alexander asked, even though his expression said that he already knew the answer.
"You will definitely lose." Sylvia and Scarlet responded all at the same time, shocking Alexander.
In his mind, he had already thought that he was the one that was going to win. After all, not only was he strong before he even joined the special forces training, but now that he had already joined the training for several years, he thought that he had gotten stronger.
But even with the two ladies having that information, they simultaneously claimed that he was going to lose if he fought against that bodyguard. Just how strong was he, to make the two ladies have confidence in him to such an extent?
"The two of you know that I have already trained in the special forces for more than 3 years now, right?" Alexander asked, as he thought that perhaps the two ladies had not considered that.
"Mhm." The two ladies nodded synchronously. There was not even a change in their expression, as they still possessed the same confident expression as they had possessed when they claimed that he would lose.
"You are joking, right?" Alexander asked with a forced smile on his face. But the response that he got was the two ladies shaking their heads.
Still not believing that, Alexander looked towards his parents. But, from the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they did not seem to have the intention of claiming that the two ladies were lying to him.
In other words, they were also confident that this bodyguard that they had gotten for Scarlet was capable of beating him.
He was a hot-blooded person, and just like Scarlet, he liked fighting. But, he usually used his brains most of the time. And now, he felt that his fists were itching. He wanted to meet with this bodyguard, so that they could find out who was better of the two.
Even though he was tempted to believe what his parents and the two ladies were claiming, due to the confidence that he possessed in his own capabilities after the 3 years of training in the special forces, he did not want to believe it. So, he looked around, trying to see if he could find the bodyguard around.
"He is currently in the basement gym. I already know that you want to fight him, but I doubt that he will want to fight against you." Sylvia stated the moment that she saw Alexander's expression, as he looked around.
"Why? Don't tell me that he is afraid of fighting against me. Or, could it be that you are just messing with me because I did not come home for all these three years?" Alexander asked, a little confused.
"You see, he is not a person that likes fighting that much. Of course, in case it is something that requires him to fight, like a situation where Scarlet is being attacked, he will definitely take action. And believe me, the fates of all those people that try attacking Scarlet, is not always good." Sylvia responded.
She might not have seen Jaden taking action personally, except for the situation where he had rescued them from those men that were robbing the bank back then, still, she had already gotten reports on how Jaden had handled several situations.
Even though Scarlet and herself competed against each other, they were good friends. So, Scarlet always told her about Jaden, especially recently, when Scarlet was talking about Jaden almost all the time that the two of them talked.
"I see. And, do you think that if I pretend that I'm attacking Scarlet, he will take action?" Alexander asked, as he began formulating a plan in his mind.
"I suggest that you don't do that. You might end up in a bad condition, in case he sees you as an enemy." Sylvia immediately rejected the idea. Scarlet nodded, indicating that she supported what Sylvia had said.
"Come on guys, don't you have any confidence in my abilities?" Alexander asked. He was having a bitter smile on his face. After all, he was the one that was training these two ladies, other than the training that they had been receiving during from the fighting club that they had signed up for.
All this time, they always possessed confidence in him, even claiming that he was stronger than the instructors that were training them. But now, later that he was not as strong as a bodyguard? He was about to officially join the special forces, and as a captain at that!
"You should listen to her. It is not a good idea to provoke him." Clifford spoke at this moment.
"Huh? Even you dad?" Alexander was rendered speechless upon hearing Clifford's words.
It was good if Clifford had not spoken. But now, he had spoken, and was directly claiming that Jaden was stronger.
At this moment, Alexander felt the urge to prove himself. But, he understood that it was impossible for him to just provoke that bodyguard into fighting with him. He had to look for a reason for the two of them to fight.
It was just that he could not find any good reason, to make the two of them fight. But, the only thing that he could try at this moment was to try to convince the bodyguard so that they could spar.
"Hey bro. It's nice seeing you. And, it seems that you are quite curious about the bodyguard that they got for little sis? Just like they told you before, I would advise you not to try fighting him."
