Chapter 179: The Old Man's Abnormality
At this moment, Jaden felt extremely guilty for the old man. After all, the old man had gotten into this condition simply because of him. If the old man did not know him, these gangsters would not have targeted him.
Despite the anger that he was feeling, Jaden did not react immediately. Instead, he looked towards second tiger, and waited for him to speak. Since he wanted Jaden to come over, it was clear that there was something that he wanted from Jaden.
When second tiger realized that Jaden was looking at him, he finally smiled. It was just that the smile on his face was not friendly at all, instead, it was filled with coldness.
"Now, you have interfered in many matters related to my tiger gang. You have made the gang suffer many losses, and for that reason, you will have to pay for it.
And there is nothing that you can use to pay for the losses that you have caused, considering that you are just a bodyguard. This implies that the money you have is not enough to be able to pay for the financial damages that you have caused to the gang.
Of course, it is not just a matter related to money. Instead, you have made the reputation of the tiger gang to fall to a level that I have never imagined.
The only thing that you can use to repay the damage that you have caused is your life. This time, I\'m not only going to kill this old man in front of you, instead, after I kill him, I will kill you later on too." Second tiger stated as he looked at Jaden.
Upon hearing that, Jaden did not react. He had already expected that something like this was going to happen. Nonetheless, this time, he had decided, that no matter what, he would have to eliminate this guy. He could not allow this guy to live anymore.
It was already about a week, and he had promised Ruby that he would be able to deal with second tiger within a week. So, it was better for him to get rid of this person as soon as possible, to ensure that Ruby would not be in danger.
Of course, it was not that he cared much about Ruby\'s life. In any case, the two of them were not that related, and neither did Jaden care much about the businesses that were promised to him by Ruby.
It was just that after he had made a promise, he was bound to fulfill it. He was a man of his word, and he was not going to break that principle of his.
While Jaden was thinking about that, second tiger took out a gun. It was a pistol. It was just that Jaden was not knowledgeable about the types of guns, still, it was definitely not for the military. After all, the military weapons were well controlled, and could not be gotten by just anybody.
The moment that second tiger took out the gun, Jaden suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Nonetheless, his muscles had already tensed up, and he was ready to take action at any moment.
Of course, he was not going to allow second tiger to use that gun and kill the old man. The only reason why he was not taking action yet was simply because he did not know how many guns were present at the scene.
Currently, he was the only one here together with the old man, the man who had led the way to second tiger, and second tiger himself. As for the rest of the people, they were just outside the door.
Jaden squinted his eyes as he looked at second tiger. Second tiger on the other hand did not care about what Jaden was going to do. Currently, the distance between them was about 3 meters. And for second tiger, he did not believe that Jaden would be able to snatch the gun from him again like the previous time.
After all, the distance was too big, and additionally, second tiger was already anticipating Jaden to make a move. He did not believe that Jaden would just stand there and not do anything while he killed the old man.
He had already received detailed information about Jaden. He knew about the people that he was close to, and those that he was not. And right now, he understood that the only person that Jaden was really close to was this old man.
Of course, this piece of information had come from the neighbors that were living in the same apartment block as Jaden. They could see the interaction between Jaden and the old man, and they could see that the old man really care about Jaden.
Of course, he had also received the information about the incident that had happened to the old man, and how Jaden had taken the old man to the hospital. From this, he could easily infer that the two of them were in a good relationship.

The safety of the gun was removed, and second tiger was pointing the gun towards the old man\'s head. At the same time, his finger was already closer to the trigger, and he was looking at Jaden, while being ready to pull the trigger.
He smiled, wanting to see Jaden despairing. After all, if Jaden really cared about the old man, he would definitely care if the old man was killed.
Jaden on the other hand was observing the old man. At this moment, he realized that there was something unusual about the old man. While the gun was being pointed at his head, the old man was not afraid at all.
Of course, it might be that the old man thought that he had lived long enough, and so, there was no problem if he died. Nonetheless, Jaden did not think it that way. Instead, he felt that there was something unusual about the old man.
This was something that he had felt a long time ago, and that feeling increased during the time that the old man was in the hospital. Still, he could not pinpoint what was unusual about this old man, still, he was impressed by the old man\'s calmness in front of a gun being pointed at him.
"Jaden, you don\'t have to worry about me. I\'m not going to die." The old man suddenly spoke up for the first time.
Everyone in the room was surprised by the old man\'s words. Was this old man not afraid that second tiger was going to pull the trigger? Or was he just bluffing? Or it could be that he was simply trying to console Jaden.
"Oh, is that so old man? Do you believe that I will pull this trigger right now?" Second tiger asked after recovering. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
Upon hearing the question, the old man did not react. Instead, he continued looking at Jaden, and said, "Well, your life is full of ups and downs. You know, I have been thinking recently if I should help you or not. And from the looks of it, it seems that I should do that."
The words by the old man immediately left everyone in the room speechless. Even those that were watching from the door could not help but feel that the old man had definitely gone insane.
In this situation, where there was a person that wanted to kill him, he was the one that was supposed to be saved. How come he was claiming that he wanted to help Jaden?
Jaden did not understand what the old man was trying to imply. Nonetheless, he could tell that the old man was extremely sincere in what he was saying. This immediately intensified the feeling that this old man was definitely not simple.
"Can you f*cking shut up old man?! I am the one in charge here, and I don\'t remember giving you the permission to speak. If you speak any other word, I am going to blast a bullets inside your head." Second tiger stated.
From his expression and tone, one could easily tell that second tiger was angry at this moment. Jaden wanted to seize this moment and attack second tiger. After all, second tiger was currently paying attention to the old man, and this immediately gave him a chance to take action.
With his reflexes at the moment, it was not going to be impossible for him to be able to reach second tiger before he could pull the trigger. Of course, he was not going to be able to prevent second from pulling the trigger, considering that the distance between second tiger\'s finger and the trigger, was way closer as compared to the distance between him and second tiger.
Even if he was fast, he was definitely not going to be fast enough to be able to prevent him from shooting. Still, he could simply knock away the hand, and make sure that the gun was no longer pointed towards the old man.
Thinking about that, Jaden suddenly began exerting strength in his legs. He was ready to pounce forward, when suddenly, the old man spoke up again.
"Well, I have been trying to live a life that can be considered as normal, but it seems that it is going to be impossible. Still, I don\'t mind doing this for the last time." The old man stated after giving out a helpless sigh.
"I am done with you! Now die!" Second tiger shouted, as he immediately pulled the trigger of the gun.
