The Bodyguard System

Jaden was once again surprised by the confidence that Castro possessed towards him. It might be true that Jaden owned an entertainment company, but it was obviously not enough to be able to compete against those big families in the big cities.

All the same, until this day, Jaden had not revealed more than the two companies that he owned, together with the abilities that he had revealed already, including the song composition, script writing, excellent fighting skills, good driving skills, together with superb piano playing skills.

But it seemed that Castro possessed some kind of confidence towards him. It was at this moment that Jaden decided that when he went back to his villa, he would have to ask the AI to do some background check on himself.

He just had to find out the information that could be found by the others, as long as they possess the same capabilities as the AI. That way, he would be able to know what others knew about him, and what they did not know. That way, he would be able to use the things that they did not know as a trump card.

As for the matter of him being the only one capable of solving the issue about Scarlet's marriage, that was something that was quite easy for him to be able to do.

It was easy for him to be able to solve this issue, and it was solvable within the same day. He could do that when he went back to his car.

But he was quite curious about what gave Castro the confidence that he was the one that was capable of solving this issue.

"Why are you so confident that I am the only one who can solve it? You know, despite me having a company of my own, I definitely am not at the same level as the families in the big cities." Jaden asked as he looked at Castro curiously.

Castro finally removed his arm from Jaden's shoulders. Then, he looked at Jaden with all seriousness as he said, "I do believe that you already know that my cousin loves you. That is something that even a blockhead will be able to tell just from the way that she is behaving.

I don't know the reason why you are not interested in her, when she is a beauty, the one that many people want. I won't talk about that, as that is something that is related to your own personal feelings.

But, I tend to believe that you do like her as well. The only way to help Scarlet out of this situation is for you to claim that the two of you are already in a relationship. If you say something like that, you will be able to stop the marriage arrangement that is already in motion.

Just in case you don't know, Scarlet is supposed to be married in the next 3 months. Had it not been that she had not yet met with Anderson, she would have already been married by now.

Anyway, you just have to say that the two of you were in a relationship, and have already done it. If you say something like that, I do believe that even though my little cousin will be a little embarrassed, she will not go against what you would have said.

Since she doesn't want to get married to Anderson, she will obviously cooperate. And after this piece of information reaches the ears of the leaders of my family back in Rezi city, they will have no choice but to cancel the engagement between Scarlet and Anderson.

After the engagement between the two of them is canceled, in case you don't have feelings for my little cousin, you can find a way of making sure that the two of you don't get together. You can finally reveal the truth, so that nobody will come looking for you, to force you to marry my little cousin.

As for the engagement between Anderson and Scarlet, that is something that will not repeat itself, because the two families really care about their reputation. It is impossible for them to be able to get together again, as that will lead to the two families losing their reputation.

If you do that, believe me, I will owe you a favor. Anytime that you will ask of it, I will help you with anything that I can. It doesn't matter if it is now, or a few years later, I will always remember that." Castro gave a lengthy plan that he had already thought about.

Jaden was really surprised upon hearing that. It seemed that Castro had already thought about it. Since he was the one who understood the Johnson family the best, it was clear that he would be able to know what method could be used in order to deal with this issue.

Well, it was a good plan, and it would work. But it was filled with risks, at least for a person who did not have a system like Jaden, or the AI.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will handle this matter, but I will not use your way. I have my own method of dealing with this. I just have to deal with Anderson, and all of this will be dealt with." Jaden responded.

Castro was surprised. He thought that perhaps Jaden might think much about it, in order to agree to assist here. But it seemed that Jaden was already thinking about it, considering that he was even thinking about dealing with Anderson, instead of using this simple method.

He possessed confidence towards what Jaden had said, despite not knowing much about Jaden's background. He believed that Jaden was more than what he had shown.

"If you can deal with Anderson, then that will also help with this issue. I don't know what method you are planning on using, but you don't have to tell me. But in case you need any assistance in order to deal with him, I am ready to assist." Castro responded.

"Don't worry. By tomorrow, everything should have been solved." Jaden said, surprising Castro.

Castro was speechless, wondering if Jaden was just boasting or if he was serious about it. To be able to deal with Anderson in just a single day? That was something that was even impossible for himself, who was part of the Johnson family.

Nonetheless, he decided to trust Jaden. In any case, there was no harm, even if Jaden was not going to be able to deal with Anderson in just a single day. As long as he could deal with Anderson, before the marriage, then that was good enough.

"Thank you in advance. But I will say the same thing again. As long as you need my help in dealing with Anderson, then you can call me. Here is my card, it has my contact number." Castro said as he handed a card to Jaden.

Jaden took the card, even though he could easily get Castro's contacts as long as he wanted by the use of the AI. He kept the card in his pocket, before starting walking away.

Castro watched as Jaden left in his car. He continued standing there for quite a while, before taking out his phone and making a call.

"Brother, I need help. I want your assistance in order to make sure that this marriage between Anderson and little cousin Scarlet doesn't occur. And more than that, I would also like you to help me in protecting someone. His name is Jaden. I will send you the details in a while." Castro side everything in a single breath.

"You understand the implications of what you are trying to do, right?" A deep masculine voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand brother. But from the way that I know Scarlet, she is a cheerful girl. I don't want her life to be ruined like this. It is better for the family to arrange a marriage between her and another person, but not Anderson." Castro said as he clenched his fist.

"You know that even if this marriage fails, there is a great possibility that they are going to arrange yet another marriage for her, right? And the candidate that might be arranged next might not be the best, and might even be worse than Anderson?" The voice asked once again.

"I'm willing to take the risk. And I'm sure that Scarlet is also willing to take the risk. From the way that she is interacting with Anderson, it is clear that her life will be a nightmare as long as she is married to Anderson.

It is better for her to get married to another person, and I will just hope that the next person that they arrange for her, will be a better one. It will be even better if Scarlet can find a better candidate that will be accepted by the family and by herself. That will be the best thing for her." Castro explained.

"Okay then. Since you have already made your decision, I do believe that you have already talked to Scarlet?" The man on the other hand of the call asked in a questioning tone.

"I… I believe that she will accept it. But I will confirm with her before I send you the details of the person that I would like your assistance in protecting." Castro responded after a moment of hesitation.

"Fine. I will make the necessary arrangements. But you should be prepared, as the consequences might exceed your expectations. As for the person that you want me to help you in protecting, send me the details first, before I give you a feedback if it is possible or not." The person on the other end of the call said, before ending the call immediately.
