Chapter 39: Leaving
"Jad, I do believe that you have already expericed what I was telling you before. The job itself is quite risky, and you might lose your life while on duty. So, I would like to ask, are you willing to continue with the job or would you like to quit?" Clifford asked with a serious tone.
Jad was a little surprised after hearing the question. He had not expected that Clifford was going to ask that. Most of the time, the majority of the people would like the bodyguards to continue putting their lives in line in order to be able to secure them or their family.
In case a bodyguard wanted to quit simply because the mission that they had be giv was dangerous, most of the time, their bosses would get furious, and would definitely punish them by making them pay huge fines for breaking contracts and so on.
But here, it seemed that Clifford was completely differt. He had already informed Jad before that the mission that he was going to be giv was extremely dangerous considering the person that they were dealing with.
And now, after the first attack, he was here yet again, asking Jad for his opinion. But wh Jad thought about it, it seemed that Clifford was right in doing this.
At the d of it all, it was just the first day and the clit that Jad was supposed to protect was attacked. Had it not be for the fact that he was prest at that time, the clit would have definitely be injured.
And the method that Clifford was using right now was definitely quite suitable. After all, why would they decide to allow a person to continue guarding their daughter, wh in the future, in the face of an attack, he would run away?
In case the bodyguard, the one that was depded upon to protect a person ran away, it was definitely going to be troublesome for the clit to be able to survive. So, it was better for them to clarify issues before continuing.
In any case, Jad did not have the inttion of going away. Not to mtion the fact that there was a mission that was still in progress, there was also the fact that the momt that he decided to give up on this issue at this momt, it implied that he was going to lose the system.
That was definitely not something that he was going to agree to. After all, why would he want to lose the advantage that he had gott after suffering all those years? It might be true that he did not think much about the issue concerning his family for the time being, but that did not imply that he did not care.
In the future, as long as he got ough capabilities, he would definitely go back and deal with those that had tak away what was rightfully his. But for now, he could only continue strgthing himself.
Depding on himself, it was definitely impossible considering that his relatives seemed to be making things difficult for him. After all, how was it possible that he would always be fired at the d of the month each and every time that he got a job?
Additionally, each and every time, he would not be paid. That was something that was completely abnormal. And if Jad was a fool, he would definitely believe that this was something that was related to his bad luck, rather than somebody orchestrating in the dark.
"You don't have to worry much about that Mr. Clifford. I do understand that the mission that I am currtly dealing with is quite dangerous. But ev th, that does not make me retreat. Since I have be giv the mission, unless you want me to leave, I will definitely not abandon the mission." Jad responded righteously.
Of course, in his heart, he was claiming that ev if he was chased away, he would definitely not go. After all, giving up on this task of being a bodyguard meant him giving up on the system.
Clifford nodded his head after hearing that. To say the truth, he had expected that perhaps Jad would leave. It might be true that he possessed capabilities, but ev th, they oppont that they were dealing with at the momt was extremely dangerous.
So, it was not impossible for Jad to give up on the task. On the first day, he was involved in a fight, in order to be able to rescue his clit. And it was clear that as days kept on moving, the dangers that Jad would be expericing would keep on rising.
"If that is the case, th that's good. But I'll have to tell you something, if you want to continue, you better make sure that you do that. Because if you give up during the time that you are in the mission of protecting my daughter, you will definitely become the emy of the Johnsons." Clifford stated sternly.
Jad understood what Clifford was implying. At this momt, it was difficult for the Johnsons to be able to find a person that will skilled and could be easily trusted. So, it was good that they could hold on to him for now.
But still, if he actually gave up if he was attacked and he was at that time together with Scarlet, it was definitely going to cause trouble considering that Scarlet would definitely d up suffering.
"Be assured Mr. Clifford. You can leave your daughter's safety to me." Jad responded. At this momt, he understood that he would have to look for a method that he could depd on in case he was facing on emy who possessed a gun.
"Okay. Since we have come to an agreemt, th I will make an advance paymt. The job that you are doing is extremely risky. So, I will give you $,000 today. This is the initial paymt. The paymt will increase depding on the risks involved in the job.
Do you agree with that Jad?" Clifford asked with raised brows.
Jad on the other hand was a little ecstatic after hearing that. It was true that the mission that he was currtly taking care of was risky. So, it was good if he received his salary in advance.
This way, he could at least spd them, in case he died along the way. But of course, he was not planning to die anytime soon. He had just begun expericing the good things in life, why would he want to leave them again?
Jad nodded. And upon seeing this, Clifford said, "That's good. I will sd the money to you through the account that you submitted to Alex. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah, that's the account that I use." Jad responded.
"Okay. You can go ahead and relax. Tomorrow and on Sunday, you will be free. You will have to be prepared, because starting on Monday, things will get a little more complicated.
So, you can consider the two days that I am giving you as a chance for you to contemplate on whether you are going to continue with the job or not. In case you want to continue with the job, you will come back.
But if you don't come back, I will not blame you, and neither will I ask you to give me back the money that I would have st to you. Nevertheless, I do hope that if you retreat, it is better if you do it early with a notice."
Jad th wt ahead and left the mansion. He wt back to his room and relaxed. Later in the eving, his food was delivered to him, and he ate. After that, he wt through his phone a little more before sleeping.
The following morning, wh he woke up, he realized that Stev had already arrived in front of his doorstep. The momt that he stepped out, Stev wt ahead and informed him that he was there to sd him home.
Jad immediately accepted. After all, the distance betwe the Johnsons residce and the area where he was residing was quite huge, and it was going to take quite a long time for him to be able to get there. And if he depded on a taxi, it was going to be quite expsive.
Since he was going to be giv a free ride, he would definitely not refuse. So, after cleaning up, he put on a pair of blue jeans, black sneakers, and a black short-sleeved t-shirt, before leaving with Stev.
Jad was not that much reluctant to leave the area, considering that he would be coming back in days time. For now, he would be going back to handle issues that he had left hanging.
....
The previous eving, Scarlet had decided to fight with Sylvia. In the d, she was defeated, but there was something that made her excited. That was the fact that she had noticed that she had improved, and she was not defeated as fast as she was defeated by Sylvia the previous times that they sparred with each other.
This morning, she was having a plan in mind. There was somewhere that she wanted to go with her group of frids. So, in a good mood, she freshed herself up, before taking breakfast.
Th, wh she was ready to leave, she was informed by Stev that she could not leave the Johnsons residce for the next days. That was something that had never happed before.
Without hesitation, she immediately wt back to look for her parts to complain and understand the reason why she could not leave.
Stev on the other hand could only feel helpless. After all, this young lady was quite stubborn, but what could they do? For security matters, they could only hold her back for days within the residce.
