Scarlet did not say anything and immediately alighted. Jaden did the same, and followed her as they headed towards an abandoned warehouse.


    As they continue moving towards the warehouse, Jaden suddenly felt that there was somebody that was looking at him. Immediately, he turned around, only to realize that the area that he was looking at was completely empty.


    He frowned, but even then, he still continued following Scarlet who had not even noticed Jaden''s movements. Jaden immediately raised his cautiousness, as he expected a form of danger in this area.


    He was not sure about the reason why Scarlet had come over here, but nevertheless, he had to be careful. At the end of the day, Scarlet was the one that was being targeted by the members of the Williams family.


    It was clear that there was definitely somebody that was keeping watch over Scarlet, otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to be able to notice that Scarlet had gone to that alleyway. Additionally, had it not been for the fact that Scarlet had gone to that alley, the attack that was launched on her on Friday would definitely not have been launched, at least not in the same area.


    As the two of them moved on, Jaden did not notice anything out of place anymore. Nevertheless, that did not make him to drop his guard. Instead, he became even more cautious. This place was extremely silent, as if there was nobody here.


    Finally, after about 2 minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of the warehouse. The door of the warehouse seemed to have been destroyed or had been stolen by somebody, or moved by the owner, but nevertheless, there was no door for the warehouse.


    They went through the entrance, and finally, inside the empty warehouse, they moved towards the center. Finally, they had just arrived at the center of the warehouse when Jaden noticed that there was an entrance that led underground.


    The entrance to the underground was kind of inconspicuous, that had it not been that Jaden was close by, it would be impossible for him to be able to notice the entrance.


    The moment of the two of them got there, Scarlet bent down and pulled the handle of the entrance. The entrance to the underground was made in form of a seal for the sewage tunnels. There was a handle that could be pulled, making it easy to open.


    Completely different from the seals for the sewage tunnels, there were hinges on this one, allowing it to be easily opened and closed.


    The moment that Scarlet opened the entrance, Jaden peeped through the hole. At that moment, he realized that underground, there was another form of light. It seemed that some lighting system had been installed in the underground.


    Scarlet did not hesitate to jump inside, and Jaden immediately followed behind her. He was supposed to be moving ahead, but he did not know anything about this area. So, he had no choice but to let Scarlet lead the way. Nevertheless, he was extremely cautious, ready to take action in case anything went wrong.


    The moment that the two of them landed on the ground, Jaden looked around. He realized that the area that they had finally landed, a distance of more than 2 meters, was the center of a big hall.


    The entire hall was completely empty, but it was well maintained as compared to the warehouse that they had just utilized in order to enter into this hall.


    The floors were made out of some kind of rock that look like tiles, but Jaden could tell that they were not tiles. Nevertheless, they were capable of reflecting the light that was currently illuminating the area from the ceiling of the hall.


    Scarlet looked around and could not help but frown. According to the calculations that she was having, there was supposed to be a group of people here. But right now, this place was completely empty.


    In fact, she had already communicated with them, and was expecting that the group was going to be here considering that she had been a little late while waiting for Jaden to arrive. But now, with the place being empty, she could not help but wonder what was going on. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She took out her phone, and immediately texted Lucas, asking him where they were. After all, they were supposed to be here, but until now, there was nobody. That was something that she could not understand. Could it be that they had suddenly decided to change their plans?


    But thinking about it, it was going to be impossible for them to change the plans considering that she was the one that was calling the shots, and not Lucas. So, what could have gone wrong here?


    The response came after more than a minute, with Lucas claiming that he was held back once again with his father. So, he was going to be a little late, about 30 minutes late. So, they would have to wait a little bit for him to arrive.


    As for the other group, Lucas had no information about the reason why they were not there. Nevertheless, they were supposed to be here already. So, he had to assume that if they did not come, then they were definitely afraid about the competition that they were planning on having.


    Although Scarlet was irritated, there was nothing that she could do at this moment. Since both Lucas and the other group were not here, the only thing that she could do right now was to wait while hoping that they would come. Otherwise, she could only be disappointed and go to school.


    It might be true that she really did not care much about education, nevertheless, she had to study considering that he wanted to graduate. So, she would always make sure to attend all the classes, unless it was necessary for her to miss.


    Jaden did not know what was going on, but he could tell that there was something that was happening considering that Scarlet had been with her phone for a while now. It seemed that she was chatting with somebody over the phone.


    They waited for more than 5 minutes before finally, Jaden heard the sound of movements. With his enhanced senses, he could easily tell that there was a group of people that was above them at the moment.


    Even though they were moving silently, as if they were trying to make sure that the sounds of their footsteps could not be heard, it was definitely not impossible for him to be able to hear that.


    "It seems that we have company." Jaden stated to Scarlet as he looked towards the entrance, while at the same time, surveying the environment.


    Ever since he entered into this hall, he had realized that there was actually no any entrance or exit that was visible. That implied that the only entrance and exit was the one that they had utilized to enter, which was 2 meters above them.


    Of course, the area that they had landed was on a platform that was raised a little high, making it easy for them to land. Otherwise, if they were supposed to land on the floor of the hall, people would definitely break their limbs due to the distance of landing.


    There was a staircase that Jaden and Scarlet had utilized in order to get down from the platform. Nevertheless, they were not that far away from the entrance, which was located at the very center of the hall.


    The moment that Scarlet heard Jaden''s words, she could not help but raise her brows. She had not noticed anything until now, but nevertheless, she did not doubt that Jaden had definitely heard something. For the short time that they had been together, she believed that Jaden would not do anything unnecessary.


    In addition, it was not as if she was not expecting somebody to come over. Since Lucas had claimed that he would be here only after 30 minutes since they last communicated, it implied that the one that was here was definitely the group that they were supposed to compete with.


    So, she looked curiously towards the entrance. When they came in, they had closed the entrance behind them. But it was not locked, making it easy for anybody who came to this warehouse to be able to open it.


    When she was looking over, she suddenly realized that the entrance was being opened. Additionally, something that made her frown was the fact that the entrance was being opened slowly, as if the one that was opening the entrance was afraid that somebody would notice them.


    Thinking about Jaden claiming that there was a person up there, when she had not noticed any movements, added with the fact that the entrance seemed to be opened stealthily, it implied that there was something fishy about the person that was coming over.


    So, just like Jaden, she immediately became cautious, ready to take action. They both looked towards the entrance, at the same time, preparing themselves to make a move, should the person that would be coming over be an enemy.


    In just a few seconds, the entrance was finally fully opened. Then in the next moment, the two of them saw a person wearing a black suit and black shoes together with a red tie above them, within the warehouse.


    At the same moment that the two of them saw the person, the other party also saw them. He could not help but raise his brows at that, but nevertheless, he acted immediately and jumped down the entrance.
