The Bodyguard System

After second tiger left the building, he was still feeling a little resentful. He was just about to enjoy himself when suddenly, something like this had to come up.

Despite being resentful, he immediately headed towards the parking lot. Of course, the parking area was not the one that belonged to the building that was owned by Ruby. Instead, they had just parked the cars…on the side of the road.

As for the ticket, they didn't worry about that, considering that no police officer would have the courage of giving them the ticket after knowing that they were from the tiger gang.

Second tiger immediately entered into a white Porsche 911. The moment that he got in, he looked at the young man in the driver's seat without saying anything.

The young man inside the Porsche 911 was none other than Lucas Brown. His expression was completely calm, even in the face of second tiger. In fact, there was even a hint of arrogance in his eyes, even though it was subtle.

"How are things going? Is the plan already in motion?" Lucas asked. There was a hint of impatience in his voice.

Second tiger was immediately irritated with the arrogance that Lucas possessed. Nevertheless, he did not say anything about it, and instead, he responded to the question.

"The plans are already in motion. We should be able to do it tomorrow. But still, you have to understand that is it's going to be a little dangerous, considering that this matter is going to involve the police." Second tiger responded.

Lucas raised his brows upon hearing that. At the same time, he could not help but comment, "But I thought that you know a few police officers. With that knowledge, I do believe that you can easily get away without them pursuing you so relentlessly. They can simply act that you had managed to escape."

Second tiger on the other hand did not think so. There was a solemn expression on his face. In normal situations, he was confident that he would be able to handle the mission that had been given to them quite easily.

It was just that things were completely different this time. The mission that they were going to handle was simple, but the one that they were going to provoke in the end was definitely not somebody that they would want to do so.

"It might be true that I do possess some connections within the police force, but it is not enough. You have to understand that for the underworld, it is not ruled by a single person.

There are many different factions, with varying strengths. This time, for us to be able to carry out this mission, we are definitely going to provoke one of the gang within our circle.

Of course, if it had just been a small gang, it would not have been a problem. The only problem is that this gang is different. It is strong, even slightly stronger than the tiger gang."

Lucas was surprised. Even though he himself was involved with the matters involving the underworld, he was not that deep into it. Instead, it could be said that he was just playing at the shore of the underworld waters.

It was not that easy to be able to dive deeper into the waters. Additionally, he had no intention of diving deeper into those waters, considering that after he dived into them, it was going to be nearly impossible for him to be able to come back out of there.

"It really doesn't matter. As long as you complete the mission, then there is nothing to worry about. Additionally, concerning the gang that you are talking about, they can be easily taken care of after you deal with the mission." Lucas responded.

His voice was full of nonchalance, something that made second tiger a little irritated. Nevertheless, he could not say anything to Lucas for the time being.

In the current situation, Lucas held a higher position as compared to him. So, it was going to be impossible for him to overtake him. But of course, the same could not be said after he had completed the mission.

The moment that he was above this young man, he would make sure to deal with him. How dare a young man like him try ordering him around? That was something that the prideful second tiger could not accept.

Lucas did not know what second tiger was thinking about. Instead, he continued, "We have to do this fast. I do have plans on my own, and they will need to be carried out soon. But of course, that is after we complete this mission."

Second tiger did not say anything in response. He only remained silent, with thoughts of his own. He was already contemplating on what he was going to do after the mission was completed.

According to the plan that they had strategized before, he was supposed to send an elite group of the gang to handle the matters. But it was going to be a little difficult for them to be able to handle the issue alone. So, second tiger decided to personally lead the group.

It was only when he was leading the group that he would be assured that everything would go as he wanted. As for the consequences of his actions, they were definitely not comparable to the benefits that he was going to get after completing the mission.

Lucas on the other hand was also displeased when he realized that second tiger was ignoring him. Still, understanding that second tiger was a person who was full of pride, he did not say anything about it.

But in his mind, he was already thinking about the time that he would have more power as compared to second tiger. At that time, he would be able to easily order around second tiger. He could make him kneel, jump, scream, bark like a dog and so on. It could be said that he could humiliate him as much as he wanted.

Nevertheless, that was something for the other time, when he had the ability. For the time being, he had no choice but to make sure that he did nothing that would ruin the relationship between the two of them.

Additionally, for his plan, he needed second tiger to take action. With second tiger, he was not afraid that he was going to be in trouble, or his plan going to fail.

The two of them remained silent for a while, before second tiger decided to leave. After getting out of the car, he did not go back into the building to look for Ruby.

Instead, since he had decided to take action personally, he decided to go and make plans. The plan had to be carried out the following day, and he had to make sure that nothing went wrong.

Just in case, he had to prepare other plans, in case the one that he was using as the main one failed. He did not possess the confidence of succeeding at 100%, but still, he was having 98% confidence.

As for the 2%, even though negligible, second tiger did not want to take a risk. For him, he valued 100% completion rate. That has always been his way of doing things, and he was not going to change it.

Lucas on the other hand looked at second tiger leaving with his group. He remained in that place for a while, before he drove away.

And not long after they had left, Ruby managed to leave the building. She drove her car that was parked not far away from the building, and headed directly towards Dynamic nightclub.

Of course, she did not fail to notice that there was somebody that was following her. Still, she did not care. She was not planning to run away, at least for now. But if there was a method that she could ensure safety for her relatives, she would not mind getting away.

Still, it was better if she could find a method of dealing with second tiger. She was not sure about what it was that he was planning, but she was sure that there was something big that he was going to do.

Otherwise, with his pride, it was impossible for him to be called and go over obediently. That was especially so considering what he was about to do.

….

Jaden and Scarlet on the other hand did not know what had happened to Ruby, or what second tiger was planning. Instead, the two of them had managed to arrive at the hospital where the old man was being treated.

After parking the car, the two of them got out of the car and headed straight towards the ward where the old man was admitted. Jaden already received that information from Steven, and so, he did not have to worry much, considering that there was somebody that had been sent by the Johnsons, watching over the old man.

When the two of them got to the ward on the third floor of the building, they were allowed to enter without any problems.

Inside, Jaden realized that this ward was quite luxurious. In fact, other than the patient's bed, and several drugs, nobody could tell that this was actually a patient's ward. It was more like a luxurious suite.

On the bed, there was an old man. He was currently wrapped in bandages in his upper body. Currently, the old man's eyes were closed, indicating that he was sleeping, due to how his chest kept on moving slowly, an indication of breathing.

Jaden and Scarlet made sure not to make any noise, and approached the bed. But they had just arrived there, not having the intention of waking the old man up, when suddenly, the old man opened his eyes.
