This immediately made everybody tse up, while Harry was
immediately infuriated, and got ready to take action. The two fighting in the
ring were also surprised by Jad''s actions.
Due to how abruptly Jad''s actions were, nobody was able to
react before Jadnded in the ring. The two that had already be fighting
with each other were forced to stop.
Of course, the stopping came not due to the fact that the
two of them were surprised, and decided to stop to understand what Jad was
doing in the ring, but instead, it was Jad who was blocking Alfie''s punch
that was about tond on Scarlet''s abdom.
Previously, as he was observing the situation within the
ring, he was always prepared to take action. Due to his intermediatebat
skills, he was able to easily predict the next action of the two people that
were fighting within the ring.
And for that reason, the momt that he realized that
Scarlet was not going to be able to dodge an attack from Alfie, he decided to
take action. No matter what, he could not let Scarlet to be injured in this
situation.
After all, other than the fact that he did not want to fail
in the task that he had be giv as a bodyguard, he also did not want to lose
the job. After all, losing the job implied that he was going to lose the system
as well. The same was applied for the mission that he had be giv, to
survive as Scarlet''s bodyguard for an tire week.
The momt that he tered into the ring, he easily managed
to stop Alfie''s attack by grabbing his wrist. Feeling the strgth behind the
attack, Jad could not help but be surprised by how powerful Alfie was.
He believed that, had it not be for the fact that he had
be strgthed after he had be healed by the system, he would definitely
have be forced to retreat after blocking that attack. Additionally, it was
going to be impossible for him to be able to grab Alfie''s wrist.
Scarlet who was already worn out could not help but be
relieved the momt that she realized that she was not injured at all. For the
first time, she appreciated the presce of Jad. She understood that had Jad not tak action on time, she would
have already be hit by the punch, and she believed that she would have be
in a miserable state at the momt.
After all, currtly, she was already tired. And so, it was
quite difficult for her to be able to make rapid movemts like the start.
Alfie on the other hand had beposed, and maintained the same tempo as the
fight progressed.
Harry on the other hand was about to go mad. He had not
expected that there was going to be somebody that was going to take action and
ter into the ring at a crucial momt. Ev though he could not see it
clearly, at least, he could tell that Scarlet was not going to dodge the attack
that had beunched by Alfie.
He was about to rush into the ring and deal with Jad, wh
suddly, Lucas blocked his path. He did not know how Lucas had gott here,
but somehow, the guy had already covered the distance betwe them, and managed
to block him from tering into the ring.
Of course, although Lucas had be previously hesitating on
tering into the ring in order to help Scarlet out, he was still approaching
the ring. The reason behind that was simply because he could not allow Scarlet
to be injured.
No matter what, ev if their reputation was going to be
damaged, and Scarlet was going to be irritated about this, he could not allow
her to be injured. After all, he was obsessed with her.
But just as he was about to ter into the ring after
realizing that Scarlet was going to be hit by Alfie, he realized that somehow,
Jad had already gott into the ring. He did not see how the guy had done it,
but nevertheless, he had gott in and managed to save Scarlet.
Although he was still displeased by the fact that this guy
was going to be continuing to follow Scarlet a, for the first time, he
believed that the guy had done the right thing. But of course, he believed that
he had done what was assigned to him.
It was at that momt that he realized that Harry was about
to rush into the ring. How could he allow that to happ? So, he immediately
wt ahead and blocked his path.
"What is the meaning of this Lucas? Are you trying to y
foul here? You want the fight in the ring
to progress vs ? Is this all your group can do?" Harry asked as he
looked at Lucas with squinted eyes.
He understood that it was going to be impossible for him to
be able to get through Lucas anytime soon. Of course, he understood that Lucas
possessed some kind of obsession towards Scarlet, and so, no matter what, he
would definitely not allow Scarlet to be harmed.
"Humph! Are you sure that you can use your eyes properly? Or
do your eyes have some problems that you will need to visit an optician? As you
can see, currtly, in the ring, the fight has already stopped. Now tell me,
what advantage are you talking about? What kind of foul y are we ying?"
Lucas snorted as he questioned back.
No matter how embarrassing the situation was, he was
definitely not going to allow anything to happ to Scarlet. And since Jad
was currtly in the ring, it implied that it was going to be impossible for
Alfie to be able to harm Scarlet.
Although he wanted to rece Jad at the momt, he was
currtly held up. He could only let the guy take the spotlight for now for
saving Scarlet.
As for the matter of Jad and Scarlet being beat by
Alfie, that thought never crossed his mind at all. After all, no matter how
weak Jad was, it was definitely impossible for Scarlet''s family to hire Jad
if he did not possess some abilities. So, Jad''s abilities together with those
that Scarlet possessed were definitely ough to be able to defeat Alfie, at
least that is what he believed.
Inside the ring, Alfie frowned as he looked at Jad.
Previously, he had already noticed that Jad had approached the ring, and was
observing the battle going on betwe the two of them. But he did not pay much
atttion to this guy, thinking that he was just here as a spectator.
After all, previously, he had be asked to fight, but he
refused. But he had never expected that Jad was actually going to take
action. Additionally, it seemed that he was extremely strong to be able to
easily grasp his wrist, prevting the attack that was about tond on Scarlet
from doing so.
He looked at Jad, without trying to retrieve his arm at
all. He was wondering what Jad''s inttions were. If he was going to attack
at this momt, th, he would definitely fight this guy. Until now, he had
be holding back. And if he was to fight the two of them, he believed that he
would definitely be capable of defeating both of them.
Jad on the other hand, having already realized that Alfie
did not have the inttion of continuing to attack, he released his hand. After
that, he looked at Scarlet and said, "We should retreat now, right?"
Scarlet had not expected that Jad was going to say
something like that. Why was he not attacking Alfie? In this situation, since
he was her bodyguard, he was supposed to take action and deal with Alfie,
considering that the guy was about to injure her.
Additionally, they had already added him to the group that
they belonged to, and so, he was going to fight for the reputation of the
group. But looking at Jad''s eyes, she could tell that the guy did not have
the inttion of getting in a fight at all.
This was something that made her infuriated. But ev th,
she didn''t have any method that she could utilize in order to make him fight
with Alfie. She had not be injured, and they were fighting fair and square.
This is also the reason why Jad had not done anything to
Alfie. In any case, this fight was agreed upon, and it was clear that Scarlet
had lost. Since that was the case, they had to ept the defeat. Since Scarlet
was not injured, Jad would definitely not take action against him.
Additionally, it was not as if Alfie was an emy. It was
just that they belonged to differt groups. Since they had already won, what
was the reason of continuing to fight? It was better for them to retreat.
Alfie was also surprised wh he heard what Jad had said.
He had previously thought that Jad was intding to attack together with
Scarlet, but it seemed that he was wrong. And with that, his impression of
Jad increased by a slight margin.
"What are you saying? Are you not going to take action?
Didn''t you see…that I was about to be injured? Since you are supposed to
take…care of me, are you not supposed to take action and deal with the person
that was about to harm me?" Scarlet asked with a frown, as she tried to
stabilize her breathing.
She did not mtion about Jad being her bodyguard,
considering that it was going to lead to some big stories. Additionally,
Jad''s backg would be investigated, and that was something that she did
not want for now.
After all, if they investigated about Jad, that implied
that they would have to investigate about her as well. She did not want to use
the poprity of her family in order to deal with many situations within the
campus.
If many people knew about the fact that she was a part of
the Johnsons, they would definitely not treat her the same way.
In response to the question, Jad simply shrugged his
shoulders without saying anything. After all, what was he supposed to say? This
was a fair fight, and Scarlet was the one who had tak the initiative fight.
