Ang stood in front of Clifford with a hopeful gaze. She was here to ask him for help as Jaden had refused to do so. She was hoping that Clifford would be able to convince Jaden to help them with the task.


    Clifford on the other hand was surprised when Ang came to visit. Ang was the daughter to one of the business friends of his. He usually considered her as his nephew. Even though the two of them did not have that much of an interaction, still, the rtionship between the two of them was quite good.


    Clifford understood Ang''s personality. She was like Scarlet and was quite stubborn. She had refused to follow the arrangements that had been made by her family and decided to be a police officer. Her family could only support her as she would not budge at all. It was good that she was not the only child.


    Still, this was definitely the first time that she hade to him for help. She was a prideful youngdy and would rarely ask anyone for help unless there was no any other choice.


    "I would have helped you in this issue if I was capable of doing that. But I''m not capable of convincing Jaden to do anything, especially the one that would lead to him risking his life. He is someone that is only focused on being a bodyguard and he rarely does anything that is not rted to his profession." Clifford responded with a helpless expression.


    Clifford''s words stunned Ang. She had not expected to hear something like that from Clifford. From the way that she knew him, he was a person that would fail tomand his subordinate to do their job. And for something like this, it was not Impossible to be able to convince someone to do something else, as long as it was not illegal.


    "is his background that big?" Ang asked as that was the only exnation that she could get in this situation.


    "You can say something like that." Clifford responded, sending Ang into disappointment. When he saw the disappointed expression on her face, Clifford thought for a moment before he said, "Although I cannot convince him to do that, my daughter can do it. She has quite a good rtionship with him, making it possible for her to do that."


    "Huh?" Ang was not expecting that. But now, her hopes were renewed upon hearing that. But then, her eyes dimmed as she said, "But you know that Scarlet and I are not that familiar with each other. It will be difficult for me to be able to ask her for something like that."


    "Don''t worry about that. I will talk to her for you." Clifford responded. Then, he texted Scarlet, asking her toe to his study. But even after ten minutes, she had yet to arrive. Feeling helpless, Clifford contacted Steven and asked him to ask Scarlet toe over.


    A little whileter, Scarlet who was wearing a sweat pant and a sports bra that was covered by a track jacket came over while panting slightly. Her forehead was soaked in sweat, a clear indication that she had juste from some working out.


    When Scarlet came in, she was wondering what her father wanted to see her for. Steven had not told her the reason why he wanted her over. Additionally, she was a little irritated as she had just started training under Jaden when she was suddenly called over.


    Now, when she saw Ang, she seemed to understand that she was the reason why she had been called over. She could not help but get slightly nervous. She was wondering if Ang was here to report about the incidences that had happened the few times that the two of them had met with Ang being on duty.


    "Scarlet, there is something that Ang here needs your help with. Do you think you can help her with that?" Clifford spoke, not noticing the change that Scarlet had when she saw Ang.


    Scarlet was relieved upon hearing that. From her father''s tone, it was clear that he was not angry at all. That implied that there was nothing that she had to worry about other than whatever request Ang had. She had interacted with Ang quite a few times in the past but the rtionship between the two of them was nothing more than acquaintances.


    In fact, the two of them would not do much when they met each other and might end up not saying a word to the other. And when Ang was at work, she did not care about personal rtionships and only focused on doing the work that she was required to do.


    "What is it?" Scarlet asked, quite curious about what she could help Ang with.


    "It''s like this, we currently have a mission that was assigned to me and another group of police officers. It is just that the mission is quite risky and that''s why I came to ask for Jaden''s help." Ang stated. She went ahead and told Scarlet about the mission, including the dangers involved and the fact that Jaden had already refused to agree to help out.


    Scarlet was surprised to hear this. She had not expected that Ang knew quite a lot when it came to matters regarding Jaden''s capabilities. Still, she was not impressed by the fact that despite knowing that there were a lot of dangers involved, and Jaden refusing, she still came over to try and convince Jaden to take the mission.


    She was unwilling to have Jaden do something that would put his life in danger but she was not willing to say that out loud. Instead, she asked, "What benefits did you offer him?"


    "Huh?" Ang was not prepared for that. But she still responded, "I told him that as long as he helps, he is going to get a certificate of a good citizen." Ang responded honestly, despite feeling embarrassed about saying that out loud now that she had thought about it.


    Scarlet was left speechless when she heard that. That was all that Ang had offered to Jaden for risking his life? Was that even worthy for a person like Jaden risking his life? It might not be a problem if Jaden was a white cor worker. At least that might increase his chances of getting better jobs and even getting employed. But, for Jaden who was a bodyguard, that was useless to him, right?


    "It is no wonder that he did not agree. You offered something so useless to him." Scarlet responded bluntly.


    Ang was left speechless when she heard that. Was that certificate seen so useless to these two? But that was something that many people wished to get but could not as it was not that easy to be able to get it.


    Clifford was also stunned by his daughter''s response. He was now wondering what she meant. That certificate might be useless to a very sessful person. But to one that had no much sess, it could prove to be useful.


    "Is that so? Can you perhaps exin a little further?" Ang asked.


    Scarlet was a person that understood Jaden the best out of the three. So, she kind of understood his personality. He would definitely have nowhere to use that certificate anyway. So, it would be a risk not worth taking to help Ang.


    "You have to give a little more benefit. He is azy guy who would only do what you want him to do as long as it''s not his responsibility if you offer something that he is interested in. Otherwise, he won''t budge." Scarlet stated. She had experienced that first hand.


    "What could he be interested in?" Ang asked curiously.


    "Maybe money. That''s what I know but there might be other things that might interest him." Scarlet responded with a thoughtful expression.


    "That simple?" Ang was of course surprised by that. Had she known this earlier, she would not have even bothered toe all the way here to ask Clifford for the favor. She would have already told Jaden that she would give him money if he agreed to help.


    It might be that the mission was for the police department, but still, she was the one that had taken the initiative toe and ask Jaden for help. Since that was the case, she would have to fork out the money in order to have Jaden help out, without expecting her superiors to do it.


    "Yeap. That simple. How much are you willing to give for this mission?" Scarlet nodded as she asked.


    "I can give him $160,000." Ang responded without much thought.


    "Only that? You are expecting him to deal with the gangsters for only a little more than $1,000,000? Are you joking?" Scarlet asked with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She was not believing what she was hearing.


    "That''s low? Bu-but that''s all that I have saved until today. I really don''t have more than that." Ang replied with a bbergasted expression.


    "That''s all? You cannot get anything more than that from your family?" Scarlet asked, obviously not convinced.


    "I can''t. This is something that does not involve anyone in my family. So, I cannot ask them for help." Ang responded with a helpless expression on her face.


    Just like Scarlet, she liked being independent. So, she was obviously unwilling to ask her family for help in this situation.


    "Just find a way of getting at least $500,000. There is no way that Jaden is going to ept to help for such a small amount especially when his life might end when he goes there." Scarlet stated with a resolute expression on her face.
