YM778.TV Chapter 79: Star Complex Hotel
…
The following day, Jaden was informed that he was supposed to accompany Anthony and Scarlet to a certain meeting. Jaden did not know what they were going to do, but he understood that it was his duty to protect Scarlet.
So, after preparations had been made, Jaden went ahead and entered into Scarlet\'s Ferrari f8. Anthony was going to use another vehicle, which was the one that was driven by Clifford during the time that he had gone to pick Jaden up. Anthony was going to travel using the BMW X5M.
Scarlet was the driver as usual, and Jaden remained in the passenger seat. Of course, previously, Scarlet had intended to have Jaden to drive, but Jaden immediately refused that. He was a bodyguard, and not a driver.
Scarlet wanted to use another method in order to make Jaden to drive, as she was impressed by his driving skills, but in the end, Jaden told her that she was going to select one thing. Either he became her driver, or he became her instructor when it came to combat training.
When weighing the two, Scarlet came to a decision. It was better for her to be trained in combat, rather than having Jaden as a driver. After all, she could drive, but she could not train herself to the same level that he could reach if Jaden trained her.
So, even though she was a little disgruntled, she decided to continue driving as usual. Anthony had already seen this, but he did not say anything at all. Instead, he was just smiling, seeing for the first time that there was somebody that was capable of making his sister submit.
Anthony had previously intended to invite Jaden to the BMW, but when he thought about the role that Jaden was playing, he decided against it. The two of them could talk when they got to the venue of the meeting, so there was no need for him to call Jaden over, when he was supposed to protect his sister.
The two vehicles left the compound, and drove towards the center of the city. This time, Jaden did not have to be that much tense, considering that Scarlet was no longer being targeted for the time being.
He had already received part of the information that the meeting that they were going to deal with today was related to the Williams. Since there was going to be a meeting between the two families, the two families had stopped acting against each other for the time being.
The entire journey to the center of the city was silent. Jaden was not sure about what Scarlet was thinking about, while he on the other hand was busy on the internet. It was at this point that he was surfing through the internet that he came to realize that he would have to buy another phone.
The speed at which the phone that he was currently possessing was operating in the internet was too slow as compared to the speed that he was intending to go through the internet. He was currently looking for the information of the companies, and looking for a potential company that he could take the shares of.
Of course, he could also ask Clifford to help him with looking for the information, but he had not yet gotten a chance of asking for that favor. So, for the time being, he could only look for the information himself. But if a chance presented itself, he would definitely ask for that.
Scarlet was viewing Jaden from time to time. She could not help but be curious about what he was looking at. So, she extended her neck and looked at what he was going through in his phone.
She could not help but raise her brows the moment that she realized that Jaden was looking at the information about the top companies. Well, companies that possessed net worth of more than $500 million was definitely not a small one.
"Are you planning to invest in one of those companies? Or could it be that you are just curious about it? Or, are you planning to purchase one of them?" Scarlet asked with a hint of playfulness in her voice.
"Yeah, I\'m planning to invest in one of the companies. Do you have any suggestions?" Jaden responded as he continued going through the information displayed on the screen of his phone.
"Are you serious?" Scarlet could not help but be surprised by the response that she received from Jaden. She had not expected that Jaden was actually planning to invest in one of those companies.
"Do you really have enough funds to be able to invest in any of those companies? Unless you are planning to enter the stock market, it is definitely impossible for you to invest in them. After all, not just anybody can invest in the company, unless you are intending to buy the shares?" Scarlet stated the suspicions that she was having.
"Well, I really don\'t have the money to purchase the shares for the time being. But the same cannot be said about the future. Additionally, I\'m not even intending to enter the stock market. I have good no skills to be able to deal with that." Jaden responded.
Still, even though it was true that he did not have the money to be able to purchase a company for the time being, the same could not be said about the future. Additionally, currently, he already possessed a chance of obtaining 51% shares of any company that possessed net worth that was not above $500 million.
Of course, he did not tell Scarlet about that. The system was currently his secret, at least he believed. He did not know if there was anybody else that knew about the existence of the system within this world, but still, he hoped so.
As selfish as he could be claimed to be, nobody would ever want to lose the advantage that they possessed, especially in this cruel world. It might seem peaceful on the surface, but only those that had experienced the horror within this world could claim that this world was definitely not as peaceful as it looked.
Scarlet fell into deep thought as she contemplated on what Jaden had said. After a while, she finally responded, "I\'m not really sure about that. After all, I rarely pay attention to such things. Still, I can ask uncle Steven to investigate about that. He can give you detailed information, information that you cannot find on the internet."
Jaden was immediately thrilled after hearing that. He was not sure on how he was supposed to bring up the topic to Clifford, so that he could help. But now, Scarlet was willing to help him have Steven investigate for him.
With the information system that the Johnsons possessed, it was definitely not impossible for them to be able to get the information just as Scarlet had mentioned.

"If you can do that, then I will owe you a favor." Jaden responded. Of course, he understood that by owing Scarlet a favor, he would be putting himself in trouble, considering that he could not refuse the favor, even if it was something that he did not like.
Of course, if it was something that he was really against, it was going to be impossible for him to accept. So, even if he would have to go against the promise of owing Scarlet favor, he would definitely not do something that he was completely against.
Scarlet smiled widely after hearing Jaden\'s words. She had casually said that she would ask Steven to investigate. To them, that was nothing big. But still, for Jaden to owe her a favor, this was definitely something that she had not expected to gain in the end.
"Make sure that you don\'t forget about that. I will come to look for you the moment that I want to use that favor." Scarlet stated excitedly as she continued driving.
Jaden could only remain silent, as he decided to look for other things to pass time, leaving the matter of the information to the Johnsons to handle.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination. The area where the meeting was going to take place was at a five star hotel that was owned by none of the two families that were competing with each other.
In any case, since the meeting was going to be between the two families, it was not going to be held within the territory of any of them. So, they chose a neutral ground, a hotel that belonged to somebody that was not from this city.
Star Complex hotel. This was a hotel that was composed of a building that possessed 20 floors. It was magnificent, painted white, black gold, and some shades of red.
The building stood almost at the center of the city, occupying a huge area, with an allocated parking lot. Those that came here were those that possessed enough world. After all, even a casual meal within this hotel could cost at least $1,000.
The moment that the two vehicles arrived, they immediately headed for the underground parking, which was an area that was secluded for the VIP of the hotel. After Anthony showed the VIP card, they were easily allowed to enter into the parking area by the security guards.
Finally, after they got down, they headed for the elevator. Then, Anthony pressed 17th floor, where the room that the meeting was going to take place. Silence dominated the elevator as they waited to arrive on the 17th floor.
