In no time at all, Lucas and his group of people arrived above the entrance, looking inside. There was an anxious look on Lucas'' face.
He was previously held back by his father considering that there was something that had come up. He wanted to rush here as soon as possible, but he had to deal with the issue first. sea??h thё N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The moment that he dealt with the issue, he rushed here together with the group that was waiting for him. He was afraid that since Scarlet had already arrived here, she would get to have much more time together with her bodyguard.
Of course, he did not believe that Scarlet would fall for a person like the bodyguard, but even then, he could never trust any man with her. After all, he understood men quite well, considering that he was a man as well.
So, it was definitely not impossible for men to be able to lie to ladies, considering how susceptible they were to lies. So, it would not be difficult for a man to be able to deceive her, of course, the right man.
Of course, he was obviously not the right man, considering that he had failed to be able to deceive Scarlet in any way. That was evident by the fact that until now, the two of them were not dating.
He was only relieved after realizing that Scarlet and Jaden seemed to be quite a distance away from each other. Additionally, it seemed that the other group had already arrived. So, he immediately jumped down, and headed towards Scarlet.
"I''m sorry about the delay Scarlet." Lucas apologized the moment that he arrived in front of Scarlet.
In response to this, Scarlet simply waved her hand. It was clear that she did not care much about the fact that Lucas and the group were quite late. After all, she had also delayed the plans that they were having before, due to the fact that she was being held back in her residence as Jaden was not around.
Lucas was relieved after realizing that she was not angry. In most of the cases that he had delayed, he would definitely experience terror from Scarlet. But for the past two times that he had delayed, Scarlet had not seemed to be that much frustrated.
But of course, he was not happy about the fact that he would always be late. After all, the last time that he delayed, Scarlet was attacked. And today, it seemed that something had happened again, by just looking at the guy that was lying on the floor.
At this moment, the guy had already died. He had not received any form of medical attention, and he had already died from excessive blood loss.
Lucas then looked at Scarlet, hoping that she would give him any information about what was happening here. But realizing that she was not going to give him any information, he decided to approach the person on the ground and look at him. He went through his pockets, trying to look for his wallet and so on, but in the end, he found nothing.
After realizing that it was impossible for him to be able to personally get anything from this dead body about what was happening here, he looked at Jaden. In the end, he decided to ignore Jaden for now, and looked towards Vincent, the guy with wavy green hair.
Vincent on the other hand simply shrugged after realizing that Lucas was looking at him. After all, even he himself was completely clueless about what was happening here. So, what was he supposed to tell Lucas about it?
Lucas then looked at Jaden once again, but in the end, he decided to give up. He had already realized that it was impossible for Jaden to respond to him if he asked. So, rather than embarrassing himself in this situation, he decided not to ask.
The moment that Lucas decided not to ask Jaden a question about what was going on here, Vincent could not help but raise his brows a little. According to how he knew Lucas, it was definitely impossible for him to ignore something like this.
In normal situations, this guy would have already flared up. In fact, even Vincent himself had no choice but to be a little cautious of Lucas. It might be true that his family was more influential as compared to Lucas''s, but at the end of the day, Lucas'' family possessed influence as well.
So of course, he would have to be careful. He could never be reckless, considering that Lucas could cause him some kind of damage if he was caught completely off-guard.
But now, he was backing down in the face of this person. It seemed that this person possessed quite a background. Otherwise, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to make Lucas back down like that.
Realizing that the matter had been dealt with for now, Scarlet asked the group to descend. The moment that they went down the platform, Vincent immediately began speaking.
"Scarlet, you know, previously I thought that you would be afraid to compete against us. But it seems that I was kind of wrong. Nevertheless, do you believe that you will be able to win this time?" Vincent asked.
"Instead of all the chattering, why don''t we simply go ahead and deal with the issue? By competing against each other, we will be able to get results quite much faster, right?" Scarlet asked back.
Vincent simply shrugged his shoulders at that. Then, with a nod of his head, he said, "That''s good too. Because I really like taking action. So, which part of the city are we going to pay a visit this time?"
Before Scarlet could say anything, Lucas went ahead and spoke up. "For the matter of dealing with the gangsters this time, we are going to head to the Eastern part of the city. According to the information that I have received, it seems that the gangsters in that part of the city are quite rampant."
With a little smile on his face, Lucas continued, "Additionally, they are quite ferocious as well. So, if we go ahead and deal with them, it should be quite easy for us to be able to identify the winner. It is not going to be a walk in the park after all."
When he heard that, Jaden could not help but raise his brows a little. He was living in the Eastern part of the city, Bizo Street to be exact. And just like Lucas had said, the gangsters in that part of the city had become a little more ferocious as of recent.
They were quite blatant in their actions, and they even dared to rob during the day. It was clear that they possessed some kind of support for them to be able to do something like that. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to do something so openly, especially considering the fact that there was the law and the police.
After all, although most of the time gangsters would be arrested, it would only be a matter of a few hours before they were released once again. And the moment that they were released, they would go back to doing crimes.
Other than that, Jaden could not help but wonder about the reason why this group was gathering here. And from the beats of information that he had received till now, it was clear that this group seemed to be competing against each other.
Additionally, it seemed that they were actually gangster hunters. That was something that made him raise his brows a little. After all, each and everyone here came from a rich family. So, Jaden could not help but wonder why they would put their own lives at risk to deal with gangsters.
At the end of the day, the majority of the gangsters did not really care about the background that a person possessed. That mainly applied to those low-level gangsters that never cared much about information.
To them, as long as they won the present, they would not care much about the future. So, they could even end up killing the president, as long as they got a chance without caring much about the consequences, as long as their benefits were involved.
The group went ahead to discuss a little more. According to them, they would be going there today, indicating that they would definitely not be going to the campus today. They were going to look for a little more information about the gangsters, before deciding to take action.
The decisive factor of dealing with the gangsters this time was simple. They had to deal with a single group. Scarlet''s group and Vincent''s group would be competing against each other on who is going to eliminate their own group of gangsters faster than the others.
By elimination, that did not imply that they were going to kill them. Instead, they were simply going to beat them up, before handing them over to the police. But of course, nobody was allowed to call the police over before they dealt with the gangsters.
But of course, they would not deal with the mafia bosses directly. Instead, they would only focus on dealing with low-level gangster groups. If they decided to go any higher, they would be dealing with enemies that possessed hot weapons, something that was extremely dangerous.
Jaden wanted to object this matter, considering that Scarlet was definitely not supposed to be involved in this matter. After all, currently, she was in danger considering that the members of the Williams family would be targeting her.
By deciding to go to where the gangsters were located, in case the Williams received that information, they would definitely not hesitate to act. So, it was better for them not to go there. But thinking about it, Jaden decided to give up on saying that. After all, it was not as if Scarlet would listen to him anyway.
