Chapter 237: Test of Strength

Anthony had been watching everything for quite a while. He came a few minutes ago, only to see that Alexander was interacting with Scarlet and Sylvia. He was asking about Jaden. Initially, Anthony wanted to go forward and talk about Jaden.But when he heard Alexander asking about Jaden's capabilities, he decided to remain there. At the same time, he was kind of curious about how strong his brother currently was.

The reason why he had said those words with confidence was simply because of what Sylvia had told him before. Just like Sylvia, he was currently suspecting that Jaden was hiding his full strength.

Rather, it could be said that there was no chance for Jaden to exhibit his full strength. And if it was possible that this was the case, then that implied that Alexander did not have a chance, even if he had trained for 3 years or even more in the special forces.

After all, what Jaden had done was completely inhuman. To be able to do something like that, somebody needed to possess incredible strength, something that Anthony doubted that ordinary humans would.

Even though Alexander could not be considered as an ordinary person considering that he had trained for 3 years with the special forces, still, he was categorized as a slightly strong ordinary human.

Alexander looked at his younger brother with confusion on his face. At the same time, in his heart, he was getting even more curious about Jaden. Had it not been that they had all said the same thing, he would have thought that he was just playing a game on him.

Additionally, they did not know that he was coming today. So, it was impossible for them to be able to make up a script, so that they could mess with him. That was unless they knew in advance that he was here, which was impossible.

The identities of the 20 special forces officers that had been dispatched in this city was not known to anybody. After all, they all wore masks on their faces, and not even the city leader knew about the identities that they possessed, other than being special forces officers.

"That's it. I want to see who this bodyguard that you are all talking about is. Where is he? I want to see him." Alexander asked.

Stubbornness could be seen within his eyes, together with a competitive spirit. From those that knew him, they immediately understood that he was planning on challenging Jaden.

That was the problem with Alexander. Just like Scarlet, he was also a person that liked fighting. Additionally, if there was a challenge, he would take it head on, no matter the dangers.

But of course, if there was danger, he always approached with caution. He would never run away from a challenge, something that made him more appreciated in the training camp.

"Did you not just hear what everybody said? You should not try something like fighting against him. In fact, don't try provoking him." Lynette stated with a frown on her face.

Alex could not help but wonder about this bodyguard's background. To be able to make Lynette so cautious of him, it was clear that his background was not that simple.

This was not just a matter of his physical capabilities, but instead, it was clear that wherever it was that he came from, it was definitely strong enough to be able to make the Johnson family cautious.

But, he wondered where he originated from. After all, within Faru city, Alex could not think of any family that could threaten his family, other than the Williams. And, it was impossible for a member of the Williams family to be within the Johnson residence. They were enemies after all.

Jaden continued staying within the basement gym for quite a while, before getting bored. So, he left the gym, and headed out.

Even though he was curious about Scarlet's eldest brother, he did not go to the mansion. He decided that he would wait near the parking lot, to see if he could see that guy.

It had been quite a while ever since he had heard news about him. So of course, Jaden believed that he had changed quite a lot. But more than basic curiosity, there was nothing more than that to Jaden wanting to see Alexander.

When he arrived at the parking lot, he realized that there was a Jeep there. Of course, it was not that strange to find a Jeep here, considering that it was not that expensive for the Johnson family.

But, the registration number of the Jeep was something that caught Jaden's attention. The registration number started with a G, which indicated that it was a government vehicle.

According to Jaden's knowledge of the government vehicle, they all belong to people that were deeply related with the government. They held special positions within the government, or held high positions within the military or police force.

Within the city, the city leader, his deputy, and the chief in charge of all the police officers within the city, were the only people that drove the cars with registration numbers starting with a letter G.

Jaden wondered if Alexander was now involved with the government. Could it be that he currently held a high position in the government or something like that? Or could it be that he had just been involved with some high ranking officials?

Or maybe he was just overthinking it. Could it be that there was a government official that had come over? Maybe the city leader, or the chief of the police?

In the end, Jaden decided to stop thinking about it. He could not make out who had come over with the car. In any case, it did not concern him, as long as it was not involved with Scarlet's safety.

About 20 minutes later, Jaden suddenly noticed that there was a group that was coming out of the Johnson mansion. When he looked over, he realized that this group included Sylvia, Scarlett, Anthony, and an unfamiliar person.

Well, this unfamiliar person looked kind of familiar, but Jaden could not remember where he had seen him before. Still, Jaden immediately recognized who he was after looking at his features.

Just from the red hair, and a few features that matched those of Anthony's, it was clear that he was Alex, the eldest brother of the two.

There was one thing that Jaden had noticed that had changed about Alex. The last time that he had seen Alex, even though he possessed a moderate body size.

But now, looking at his brawny body stature, it was clear that he had worked out during these past years. But the transformation was quite huge, considering that his body size had increased by a large margin.

The group walked towards him, and Jaden immediately understood that perhaps they wanted to leave. In any case, he did not think that there was anything about him that could attract the other party.

Just as he was thinking of that, the group finally arrived. When they came over, none of them spoke, while Alexander focused his eyes on Jaden.

While they were coming over, he had already seen Jaden. And, Anthony had pointed out that Jaden was the bodyguard that they had been talking about.

And at this moment, Alex was trying to scrutinize Jaden, to see what made him so special and so strong that his siblings and parents had confidence in him. But no matter how he looked at Jaden, he could not find anything out of the ordinary about him.

He possessed quite some muscles, but they were not that big. But of course, as a person who had undergone special training, he understood that muscles did not indicate a person's capabilities.

Nonetheless, he found that Jaden did not have that striking vibe that indicated that he was some kind of big shot. All in all, Alexander was finding it difficult to see anything that made his parents a little cautious about this guy, to the extent that they warned him about provoking him.

Jaden noticed that Alexander was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. He could not help but raise his brows a little, wondering what was going on. After all, the gaze that he was receiving from Alexander, it was like a person who was looking at a suspect. It was as if Alexander was trying to find some evidence about his crimes.

Jaden felt slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, but he did not say anything. And it was only a while later that finally, Alexander gave up on trying to find out anything about Jaden.

He stretched his hand towards Jaden and said, "It's nice to meet you Mr. Moore. Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Jaden reciprocated, and the two of them shook hands. At the same time, Jaden responded, "It is my responsibility as her bodyguard to ensure her safety."

The handshake between the two of them took quite some time. And during this small period of time, Alexander suddenly exerted his strength in his hand. He could not hold back his curiosity about Jaden's strength. Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Initially, he did not use that much strength. But when he realized that there was no reaction on Jaden's face at all, he increased the force that he was using. But until he used his full strength, he realized that Jaden did not even budge, and neither was there any change in his expression.

Jaden also noticed that Alexander seemed to be testing him out. Still, Jaden did not try to compete with him, and allowed him to squeeze his hand. Jaden was just afraid that if he tried, he might end up crushing this guy's hand.

Alexander was forced to let go of Jaden's hand a few seconds later, when he realized that all his efforts were in vain. At the same time, he was still unconvinced about it, but this was definitely not the best time to test that out.

"I'll be leaving then. I'll see you later on, when I come back for that one month vacation." Alexander said to Anthony and the others as he headed towards the Jeep.
