Chapter 137: Plan, Bad News
Immediately after saying that, he left. But when he was just about to walk out of the villa, he spoke once again, his words leaving second tiger a little flustered. "And that filthy finger that you used to point at me, you will lose it."
Second tiger was horrified upon hearing that. There was no any hint of doubt after hearing what the other party had said. Of course, he did not doubt that his finger would be cut off.
The only thing in his mind right now was to blame Jaden. After all, had it not been that he was angered by Jaden, who had ruined so many things for him, he would have not lost his mind to the extent of pointing his finger to the other party and shouting at him.
He felt quite lucky that he had managed to hold himself back, and he did not dare to do anything out of hand other than just pointing fingers and blaming the other side. Of course, the complaint was justified, as the information that he had received was false, leading to the failure of the mission.
Additionally, there had to be something fishy, considering that the reaction of the police department was so fast that it seemed that they had already been given information about this event happening.
Nonetheless, second tiger could only push the matter concerning the man who had just left, and focus on other things. After all, after they had attacked Vyon bank, they had ended up killing one of the guards there, and had even shot the branch manager, leaving him hospitalized.
Of course, he was not afraid that the police would be able to find him. He had meticulously carried out the plan, and so, they had been able to easily avoid the police, despite the reaction of the police being a little abnormal.
The only problem that he was going to face was the other gang, which was supporting this bank. Of course, for this bank to be able to hold a high position within the country, and being referred to as the best bank within Faru city, its reputation was not to be underestimated.
They were involved with the underworld, and the branch that was located in Faru city was involved with a gang that was slightly stronger than tiger gang. This was the only thing that second tiger would have to deal with for the time being.
He did not completely rule out the possibility of the police department being able to find out about him, considering that there seemed to be something that was wrong about the mission.
But for them to be able to find about him, and get enough evidence to be able to act against him, it was going to take quite a long time. So of course, he was not going to pay much attention to them for the time being. Instead, he had to look for a method that he was going to deal with the other gang that was going to target the tiger gang.
He went back and sat on the couch, trying to contemplate. Finally, he came to one solution, that was to increase the power of the tiger gang. The most important thing for a gang in the underworld was the strength that it possessed.
The stronger the gang was, the more benefits it could get. So, for him to be able to deal with the other gang, he would have to ensure that the power of the tiger gang reached a higher level.
It was not just about fighting with each other physically, but it also applied to the influence that they could have in the business world. If they manage to get support of many businessmen, or even they themselves own several more businesses, it would be quite easy for them to be able to handle the other gang.
Currently, it was quite difficult to be able to acquire people that were strong enough, and were willing to join the gang. After all, not just anybody could join the gang, considering that they might end up being betrayed, and this might lead to the fall of the gang.
Additionally, they could not rule out the possibility of the person that they had managed to pull into the gang, being there as an insider, a spy for another gang or the police.
'I guess we can start with the first person that I have already investigated. Jaden, no matter what, you will have to join the gang.' Second tiger thought to himself with determination clear in his eyes.
He had already decided that Jaden would have to join the gang. It was not only due to the losses that Jaden had made the gang to suffer, instead, it was also due to the combat capability that Jaden possessed.
Even though Jaden had not revealed his fighting prowess, just the fact that he was able to catch second tiger off-guard was enough to be able to convince second tiger that Jaden possessed quite some strength.
What second tiger was looking for was not a person who was stronger than him, as that was going to be a threat to his position as the second in command in the gang. Instead, he wanted a person who could improve the combat level of the gang, while at the same time being underneath him.
Even though he thought that Jaden's power was not that high, still, he was definitely above ordinary people. And so, it was going to be quite an improvement for the gang, even if it was just by a small margin.
After thinking about that, second tiger took out his phone and made a call.
….
Jaden on the other hand, spent the rest of the day while trying to adapt to his current strength. Completely different from the combat skills that he would receive from the system, which would be accompanied by muscle memory, making it easy for him to be able to adapt, his increase in strength needed him to adapt by himself.
After all, the increase in strength was due to the pill, and not from the system directly. So, he spent the rest of the day, trying to control his strength well. And when night came, he was already capable of controlling his strength easily.
Additionally, he realized that he was capable of displaying the intermediate level combat skills that he had received from the system without any problems. As expected, as long as his physical condition was improved, he would be able to easily handle the combat skills that he was receiving from the system.
After that was out of the way, Jaden went back to relax. The following day, he had already been informed that they would be going back to campus. It seemed that the matter with the Williams was somehow resolved, so, it was not that much dangerous for Scarlet to go back to school.
But that was something that Jaden did not like. At the end of the day, even though he was attending campus, and the Johnsons had used the connections that they possessed in order to be able to make him join the campus even though he had not gotten his high school certificate, the knowledge was the problem.
He did not join campus from the first year, but instead, he joined campus in the second year, almost in the middle of the semester. So of course, he was lagging behind, with everything that the class was learning making him slightly dizzy.
Jaden just hoped that he was going to receive another mission from the system, that would grant him something that was related to acquiring knowledge. Even though he was not that interested in learning financial statistics, that did not imply that he was not interested in learning.
Sylvia and Scarlet had joined him during the time that he was in the basement gym, and he gave them a few pointers. But of course, since they were not strong enough, they could not even manage to grasp anything about intermediate combat skills.
Nonetheless, they were doing quite well with the basic level combat skills. It could be said that they had already improved by quite a margin, as compared to the previous times.
The one that was the most excited among the two was none other than Scarlet. She was thinking about the fighting club back in campus. Previously, she had lost in a fight against Alfie. But this time, she would definitely be able to deal with him.
The confidence was not only due to her improved combat skills during the past few days, but instead, it was also related to the fact that Jaden had taught her the method of dealing with Alfie. So, she could not wait for the following day to arrive, so that she could go and give it a try.
….
Clifford on the other hand was having a gloomy expression on his face. This was related to the competition between the two families. They had agreed that they were going to compete with each other in just one industry.
At some point in time, the Williams seemed to be giving in, and they had even told Clifford that they were willing to give him the real estate companies under them, as a form of compensation for the damage that they had caused to the Johnsons.
Even though a little suspicious, Clifford decided to believe them. But he had just believed what they told him, when he received a call accompanied by bad news.
