But just as he was arriving on the floor that the private rooms were located, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him, making him excited, and at the same time, nervous.
[Help the client to deal with the group of perverts. The reward will be calculated according to how well the matter will be handled.]
Jaden had never expected that he was going to receive a mission just like that. Nevertheless, he was excited. After all, this time, the system had given him a mission that seemed to be quite simple to handle.
At least, it was not a group of crooks, right? It was not impossible for crooks to be perverted, but Jaden did not believe that a group of crooks would dare to cause trouble within this club. After all, the club had its own set of rules.
So, anyone who dared to cause trouble within this club was definitely somebody with some kind of influence. Additionally, for them to be able to cause trouble for Scarlet, that was kind of new. But even then, Jaden did not care much about it.
He immediately rushed towards the private room that Scarlet and her group of friends were currently in. At the same time, he was quite excited, hoping to reach there as soon as possible.
….
A while ago while Jaden was still away, the group of girls had been drinking for quite a while. Of course, only a few of them had decided to drink, considering that they were not going to drive.
Initially, Scarlet had not intended to drink at all. After all, despite having Jaden as her bodyguard, that guy did not drive the car at all. Instead, he only offered to drive once, when there was a group of people that was chasing after her.
She had tried asking him at some point in time to drive, but the guy refused. He claimed that he was not a driver, but instead, he was a bodyguard. So, he would just stick to his role, and only drive in case it was related to her security.
But when the group of girls saw that she was not drinking, one of them could not help but ask. "Hey Scarlet, why are you not drinking? Don't tell me that you are going to drive when you have a bodyguard."
Scarlet could not help but raise her brows as she looked at the person who had asked the question. Just like herself, the other one was a combatant. And so, the two of them usually quarreled with each other, but of course, the quarrel between them was friendly.
It could be said that the two of them would usually compete against each other from time to time. And it had happened more than once, when the two of them competed in a drinking competition.
Every time, Scarlet would lose. She was not a strong drinker, something that made her a little embarrassed. She had researched many methods of increasing her tolerance, but in the end, she could not do it at all.
She did not like drinking that much, and only drank a little. When she felt like she was going to become drunk, she would immediately stop. She was quite disciplined. She would never allow herself to lose control, and be taken advantage of.
"Even though I have a bodyguard, you have to understand that he is not a driver. So, he will stick to his role, and I will drive my own car." Scarlet responded calmly.
The other lady could not help but raise her brows. "Are you sure about that? From my point of view, I can say that you are simply avoiding competing against me."
"Humph! What makes you so proud? Simply because you have higher alcohol tolerance than me? Why don't we compete in fighting? Let's see who is stronger than the other." Scarlet responded as she stood up, preparing herself for a fight.
The other lady immediately shrunk her neck. Then she said hurriedly, "I don't want to fight right now. This time, I was the first one to say that I would like to compete against you in drinking. So, you don't have to mention about fighting right now. I'm not in the mood."
"Tsk! What a coward! Just say that you are afraid of fighting against me. Otherwise, why would you retreat?" Scarlet clicked her tongue in response.
"If you think that you are not a coward, why don't you come and compete against me this time? I promise that I will be holding back. What about I give you a handicap? I will bring the strongest drink present in the club, while you will take the one that is slightly strong as compared to mine. What do you think?" The lady offered with a provocative smile on her face.
Scarlet on the other hand could not help but feel that this lady was challenging her pride. What did she imply by giving her a handicap? Even if she knew that she was going to lose against the other party, she was definitely not going to compete against the other party when the other person was at a disadvantage.
After all, even if she won, what was she going to be proud of? If they competed on a fairground, and she won, she would definitely be excited about it.
Of course, the provocation worked. He wanted to compete against the other party on the fairground. But even then, she thought about driving, and she could not help but hesitate.
Of course, when she decided not to drink this time, it was simply because she was going to drive.
But the other party thought that she was simply trying to dodge the competition between the two of them. Scarlet thought much about it, before finally, she decided.
In any case, Jaden was supposed to protect her. So, he would definitely drive upon noticing that she had drank. Of course, she was not going to allow herself to get drunk. But in any case, as long as she drank, she would not be in a condition to drive, according to the stipulated traffic rules.
With a glint in her eyes, she looked at the other party and said, "Since you want to compete, then let's do that. I will show you that I am never afraid of a competition. But of course, you don't have to worry. We are going to compete on a fairground."
The other lady was immediately excited after hearing that. She had never thought that Scarlett was going to accept. Usually, it was quite difficult to be able to provoke Scarlet into doing something. Unless she really wanted to do it, it was impossible to force her to do it.
This time, she was simply trying. She had never expected that Scarlet was going to agree. They had already competed several times, and so, she was very sure that she was going to be able to easily defeat Scarlet.
Without hesitation, she immediately called for one attendant. Then, she informed him to bring an entire crate of the top wine within the club.
A little while later, an entire crate of red wine. Of course, having an entire crate of red wine was quite expensive. Nevertheless, it was clear that the wine that had been brought for them was definitely not the best of the best. After all, the best of the wines were always rare.
The bottles were arranged on the table. Scarlet took one of the bottles and opened it. Then without caring about the brand of the wine, she immediately poured the wine into her glass. And after taking a deep breath, she immediately drank the wine in one gulp.
If other people had been here to witness this scene, they would not help but feel a heartache. Wine was supposed to be enjoyed by drinking in small sips, but here, Scarlet was drinking an entire glass of wine in a single gulp.
Scarlet could not help but furrow her brows. She felt that the alcohol content of the wine that they were using this time was quite high. Despite the fact that the wine was not of a higher brand, the alcohol content was quite high.
She felt that there was something wrong here. After all, in normal occasions, the alcohol content within the wine would always be low. But this time, it was higher than normal.
She thought about it, and thought that perhaps the other party had decided to compete using this wine, that contained a higher alcohol content. Nevertheless, since that was the case, she would just drink as much as she could.
The moment that she felt that she was going to lose it, she would immediately stop. Having already come to a decision, Scarlet forced herself to swallow the wine that was already in her mouth, despite feeling that the wine was cutting her throat.
Scarlet was not the only one, considering that the other lady also did the same thing. The two of them were competing after all. The one that would give up first would be the loser. Of course, there was a time limit on how long a person could spend on a single bottle of wine.
The other lady also felt that the alcohol content was quite high as compared to the drinks that they had always been drinking. This was not the first time that they were in this club after all.
Even though they would usually drink different brands each and every time, still, the alcohol content was always the same. Still, thinking that this was a good chance, she decided to continue anyway. After all, with a high alcohol content, it was clear that Scarlet would give up in just a few moments.
The other ladies in the room did not join in the fun of competing against each other. Instead, others remained sober, while those that were drinking continue drinking their own drinks, not touching the one that had been brought over. story by m|v_l,e,m,p,y,r
Scarlet had just finished drinking one bottle when she suddenly began feeling dizzy. She felt a little light-headed, and she could not help but frown.
'Could it be that I have underestimated the alcohol content in this wine?' Scarlet would not help but question herself.
