The moment that they left the building, Jaden immediately received a system prompt. It was the one that was related to the mission that he had been given.


    [Congratulations to the host for completing the optional mission. The rewards for the completion of the mission are being calculated.]


    [The host has been rewarded with professional driving skills.]


    Jaden was momentarily dazed after hearing the system prompt and the reward. At this moment, although he was quite excited for receiving the professional driving skills, he was still a little dissatisfied.


    At the end of the day, he was currently in a university. But a person like him, who had dropped out in his second year of high school, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to catch up to those that had already reached the second year of their degree studies.


    If possible, he really wished that the system could reward him with something that was going to enable him to be able to deal with the studies. He was not asking to be given the knowledge directly, but even a skill or ability that would enable him to be able to learn easily would be much more appreciated.


    But nevertheless, this was something that he had been given for free. That''s right, for free. The skills that he had utilized in order to be able to deal with the gangsters were something that he had been given by the system itself. So, Jaden did not complain upon receiving the reward.


    Still, he did not claim the reward immediately. After all, each and every time that he claimed a reward from the system, especially the one that was related to the skills, his body would be affected by a certain margin.


    And right now, since they were currently in the territory that belonged to gangsters, he was not willing to do something that would inhibit him from doing his job. In case he was still receiving the reward, and he was not able to react on time when Scarlet was attacked, it was definitely going to be troublesome.


    So, he decided that he would claim the reward the moment that they leave this area. He could do that if they were inside the vehicle.


    When they stepped out of the building, the gangsters looked at them, but they did not dare to act. In fact, they were not that much surprised the moment that they realized that Vincent and the others had been released.


    They understood the character that Ruby possessed, and so, it was not impossible for her to release them. In fact, previously, they had been planning to kill this group of brats, but in the end, they had no choice but to let them go considering that Ruby had asked them to do that. It was clear that she was trying to save them.


    Although the majority of them were displeased by the fact that they would have to let go of this group of youths, especially the one that had been beaten down by Scarlet, there was nothing that they could do. After all, they had been previously informed that they would have to obey each and every command that Ruby gave them.


    So, even though they were reluctant, they immediately retreated, allowing Scarlet and the rest of the group to leave. The group managed to get to the area where they had left the vehicles, before they immediately drove off to the hospital.


    Even though the injuries that Vincent and the others had suffered were not that severe, they still had to be taken care of nevertheless. So, the best option was to take them to the hospital so that they could be bandaged where necessary.


    Inside the vehicle, Jaden sat in the passenger seat while Scarlet continued driving. This time, while paying attention to the road, she kept on sneaking glances at Jaden. Today, she had gotten an even better understanding of this guy.


    It was also due to this reason that she got a better understanding of the ''reason'' why her parents had insisted that Jaden had to become her bodyguard. Though, there was one thing that she did not understand. That was, why she was not allowed to go out in case Jaden was not around.


    While she was deep in thought, Jaden on the other hand had decided to retrieve the reward from the system. The moment that he retrieved the reward, he could not help but feel his muscles tense.


    At the same time, a flood of memories suddenly erupted within his mind. And for a moment, he got a pang of a headache that disappeared only a few seconds later. But with the disappearance of the headache, foreign memories immediately appeared within his mind. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Immediately after that, the memories began integrating, and his muscle memory was being altered. At this point, Jaden felt like he had been driving for many years. He was extremely experienced when it came to driving.


    Other than that, he also possessed knowledge about vehicles. It was not only related to driving, but instead, there was also the mechanic skills, though at the very basic level. In case there was a slight problem with the car, he would definitely be able to know where the problem was.


    But for the most complex problems that the cars would be able to experience, it was impossible for him to be able to take care of them considering that he did not possess the mechanic skills. But even then, it was way better as compared to any other driver, considering that the majority of the drivers only possessed the driving skills, and not the ability to repair the vehicles.


    Jaden was once again amazed. The system''s abilities were not something that he could comprehend at all. At the same time, he could not help but wonder about the origin of the system. And more than that, what was the role of the system in this world?


    Of course, he did not believe that there was a possibility of the system being made by a being within this world. If they possessed the capability of creating something like the system, then that implied that the technology level of this world would have definitely gone to a higher level. It was currently the year 2027.


    With the technological advancement of the current era, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to do something like that. Although they had been capable of developing several AIs, they definitely could not compete with the system due to its ability.


    According to Jaden, he believed that this system was definitely extraterrestrial. It had to come from another civilization at least. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be able to explain the abilities that the system possessed.


    [The host is advised not to think much about the origin of the system. The system''s capabilities are way above the ones that are currently displayed. So, it is impossible for the system to be created by this backward civilization that the host belongs to.]


    Jaden was momentarily left speechless. It was also at this moment that he remembered that the system possessed access to his thoughts. So, it was clear that it was capable of detecting what he was thinking about.


    In the end, he shook his head, deciding not to think much about it. At the end of it all, even if he knew about the origin of the system, there was nothing that he could do about it. Additionally, even with his capabilities, if he was being targeted, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to resist.


    Not to mention the one that created the system, even just the government of his nation was enough to be able to take care of him. So, it was better for him not to think much about it, or he would end up stressed for nothing.


    Scarlet did not know what Jaden was thinking about at that moment, and simply continued driving. On this day, she did not have any class. So, she was not planning to go to the school at all.


    "Do you have any place in mind that you would like us to go to?" Scarlet asked as she continued driving, while throwing a glance at Jaden.


    Jaden was brought back from his thoughts by the question. He looked at Scarlet stupendously. This was definitely the first time that she was asking about his opinion.


    When Scarlet saw the look on Jaden''s face, she could not help but pout a little. Of course, she understood what Jaden was thinking about. And thinking about the attitude that she had been having during the first time that they had met, it was clear that Jaden would definitely be surprised by that question.


    At end of it all, Scarlet was just not happy with the fact that she was going to have a bodyguard following her around. That was the reason why she acted like that. She was just trying to push him away, making sure that he went away.


    But now, things were completely different. She needed his assistance if she wanted to improve in her combat skills. So, it was clear that she would have to change her attitude. As for treating Jaden as a subordinate, that was something that she did not think much about it.


    In any case, she believed that with the capabilities that Jaden possessed, if he wanted to leave, he would have done that. Additionally, he could even open a fighting club where he could train people, and earn a huge sum of money. There was no reason for him to continue guarding her, and risking his life for a puny salary.


    After a moment of silence, Jaden simply shrugged his shoulder and responded, "I don''t really know where you like to go. So, you can just lead the way. I''ll follow wherever you go, as long as you don''t plan to go and jump into the fire or into the river to drown yourself."
