Chapter 248: Risky Mission

"Mr. Jaden, I would like to talk to you about something. It's more like asking for a favor from you." Angela stated, dumbfounding Jaden.That was completely unexpected. Jaden did not think that there was anything between the two of them that would lead to Angela coming to ask for him for a favor. In any case, it could be said that the relationship between the two of them was kind of strained, considering the incident involving him and Lucas.

Additionally, Jaden was just a bodyguard. On the other hand, Angela was a police officer. So, Jaden did not see any kind of favor that he could give to Angela, that she could not get anywhere else.

Upon seeing the puzzled expression on Jaden's face, Angela understood immediately what Jaden was thinking about. So, she had no choice but to explain.

"You see, after the crackdown, we managed to get the majority of the gang leaders within the city. But, it was impossible for us to be able to get all of them.

This is something that has put a lot of pressure on us as the police. The chief of the police department is expecting us to be able to arrest them as soon as possible, but it is getting a little more difficult.

While the special forces that came over might be able to handle this issue, they are already being asked to go back to the provincial headquarters. So, only the police department is going to be in charge of arresting the remainder of the gang leaders." Angela explained.

Jaden understood what she was saying, but he did not understand why she was coming to him for help. In any case, he did not see any kind of involvement between him and the group of gangsters that had somehow managed to escape the net that was set during the crackdown.

"The favor that I would like to ask from you is your assistance to help us deal with a certain leader of one of the most notorious gangs in the city. Even though the police department has much more resources as compared to the gang, but it is impossible for us to be able to deal with them considering the skills that we have." Angela explained further.

Jaden finally understood what Angela was asking from him. She was clearly asking him to go and deal with the group of gangsters. But that was an impossibility for him. After all, why would he be interested in helping the police deal with something like that?

One might say that it was patriotic or something like that, but Jaden was not into that. At the end of it all, all that mattered was benefits. Since this was a gang that even the police found troublesome to deal with, it implied that there was some kind of danger.

He might be stronger than before right now, but Jaden was not strong enough to be able to ignore all the dangers that might be involved in something like this. So, if there was nothing that he was going to get out of this, why should he even bother?

"What do I get from this?" Jaden asked directly. Even though he was not interested in helping the police deal with this issue, but if there was something that he could get out of this, he did not mind giving them a helping hand.

"Ah…" Angela was a little flabbergasted. She had not expected that Jaden was going to ask for something in the end. After all, she came to ask for a favor, and since she was part of the police, and he was going to help the entire police force, she thought that he was going to agree.

And by looking at his expression, she understood that he was definitely not going to help if there was nothing that he was going to get. So, she said, "Ah… you will get the certificate of a patriotic citizen."

Even Angela felt a little awkward when she said that. After all, this was something that involved someone risking their life, but in the end, all that they were going to be given was just a piece of paper.

And upon hearing what Angela had said that he was going to get after helping them with this issue, Jaden was immediately disappointed. He thought that perhaps they might give him permission to own a gun.

But it seemed that he had expected too much. So, he resolutely responded, "I'm not interested in that piece of paper. After all, my academic qualifications are not that high, and there is no where that I'm going to use that piece of paper anyway. So, I'm definitely not going to risk my life for something useless."

After saying that, Jaden was not willing to have any further conversation with Angela. So, he rolled up the window, before driving away.

Angela could only helplessly watch as Jaden left. She had come over with little hopes of succeeding, and it seemed that there was definitely no hope with this matter.

"I don't understand the reason why you think that he is going to help us with this issue.

I do accept that he has quite some capability when it comes to fighting, considering that he could take care of quite a group of gangsters, but the ones that we are dealing with are completely different." Christopher stated as he looked at Angela who was still looking into the distance where Jaden's car had disappeared into.

Angela turned around and looked at Christopher and said, "You just don't understand. Without the special forces, we are going to have a difficult time to be able to deal with that gang. We might have already dealt with the majority of the members of the gang, but the elite members of the gang are still there."

"Of course I already know about that. But, even if they are elite members, they should not be able to deal with our police force. After all, we have a lot of free hands, and considering that we have already dealt with the majority of the gangs within this city, it should not be a problem for us to be able to handle them." Christopher responded.

"But at what cost? You already know that they have guns, right? The moment that we begin fighting against each other using guns, lives are going to be lost. It is not impossible for several of our colleagues to be the ones that would end up losing our lives, and it might end up being me or even you." Angela responded, while there was an exasperated expression on her face.

"Sigh! I understand that you care about our colleagues and even our own lives. But that's just how the police is. We are required to be jumping head first towards danger.

While it might be the responsibility of the police to maintain law and order within the society, most of the time, it is quite simple. But in situations like this where it involves dealing with dangerous goons, then, we have no choice but to face it. This is after all the responsibility that we took the oath to complete." Christopher responded with a helpless expression on his face.

Angela wanted to say something, but Christopher cut her off. "Even if you actually have him come over and help us, what is he going to do? Don't tell me that he's going to do boxing with those people having guns. The moment that he starts rushing towards them, they are going to shoot him dead. Don't tell me that you want to kill him."

"Of course not! I trust in the ability that he has. It should not be impossible for him to be able to contribute in dealing with that group of gangsters. Still, I'm not going to give up." Angela responded with a determined gaze as she looked at Christopher.

Christopher was quite curious about the reason why Angela was so confident that Jaden was able to help them in such a situation. No matter how much he thought about the capabilities that Jaden possessed, he did not see anything special that could enable them to deal with this issue.

It might be true that Jaden possessed quite some capability when it came to fighting, but it was definitely not to the extent that he would be able to single handedly deal with the group of gangsters.

Additionally, did he even know how to use guns? They were going to fight a battle of bullets. If Jaden went there with the intention of fighting them head on, just by using his fists and kicks, then he was definitely going to die.

While he was thinking like that, Angela had already gotten back inside the car. Just when Christopher came back to his senses, Angela had already began driving.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Christopher shouted as he rushed towards the car. The moment that he managed to get into the car, and had not even closed the door, the car suddenly shot out. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What is wrong with you? Where the heck are we going to? Don't tell me that you have gone mad, and you want to go and beat him up?" Christopher asked after he had barely managed to close the door, and was still struggling to put on the seat belt.

"I'm going to use another method to get him to help us. I don't know if it is going to work, but it is worth a try. For this mission that we are supposed to deal with, I am willing to try and see if it is going to work. If it doesn't, then we are just unlucky." Angela responded.
