The Bodyguard System

Chapter 228: Using the Card, The Crackdown Begins

The moment that Jaden received the call, Matthew's voice came from the other end, "Hello Mr. Moore. I have managed together the amount that you needed. I have already initiated the transfer, and the money should be transferred in your account within the next 10 minutes."

"That's good. You will get the money within next week by Friday." Jaden responded. He was obviously happy, and so, the excited tone in his voice could not be hidden.

The two of them did not talk anymore, and the call between them ended. With that, Jaden waited, almost impatiently for the money to enter into his account.

About 3 minutes later, finally, a notification appeared on Jaden's phone together with a vibration. This was an indication that there was a new message. Jaden looked at the message, and realized that it was from the bank.

The message clearly stated that Jaden had received exactly $103 million. There was not even an extra thousand. Jaden did not mind that though. In any case, the money had obviously exceeded the amount that he had asked for.

'System, how am I supposed to use the rebate card?' Jaden asked in his mind. It was finally time for him to use the card on the money. In any case, the money that he had received came from the company, and the only reason why he got that money was because he was a shareholder of the company.

[Just like the previous items, the host can simply think about it. Of course, the host will have to decide on the money that the rebate card is going to be used on. As previously stated, the amount of money that the host can use the card on must be from the same source and reason.]

'Alright!' Jaden thought in his mind, as he immediately focused on utilizing the 10 times rebate card.

A few moments after Jaden had thought about utilizing the 10 times rebate card, there was a flash of light, before the card appeared on his bedside table. Jaden immediately picked it up, and thought of using it again.

This time, there was yet another flash of light, before the card disappeared. At the same time, Jaden waited with anticipation, wanting to see how the card worked.

But even after he had waited for about a minute, he realized that there was no reaction at all, after the card had disappeared. Could it be that all of this was just a scam?

Just as he was wondering, the phone in his hands vibrated. Checking it, Jaden noticed that there was a notification. Jaden could not help but be curious about the message, while at the same time, wondering if the card had really worked or not.

The moment that he checked the message, he realized that it was from the bank. And, it was a message indicating that there was a deposit of $927 million.

This surprised Jaden. Could it be that this was the way that the card worked? Jaden did not even bother to look at the sender of the money, considering that it always claimed that the money had been deposited from an anonymous account.

All the same, Jaden was a little excited at this moment. Currently, his balance was 1.03 billion! This amount of money was not something that Jaden had ever dreamed of possessing.

Even during the time that his parents were alive, they had never possessed such an amount of money. Well, maybe they did, but as his mother had stated in the video, they had probably invested everything that they had gotten back into the re

Even if there was going to be a multiplier effect after he used the card, Jaden was not willing to spend the money recklessly. After all those years of struggling, he had learned how to spend money carefully.

With that in mind, Jaden decided to continue investigating where he could invest that money. So until then, he would have to keep the card, and maybe, if there was a way that he could get even more money and add to the one that he currently had, it would be even better.

….

During the following week, the crackdown finally began. The police acted with full force, raiding the gangsters' bases, using all the evidence that they possessed, to arrest all the gangsters that they could find.

Of course, the facilities that the police department possessed within the city was not enough to be able to accommodate all the gangsters within the city. And for that reason, the police mainly targeted the gang leaders.

As long as the gang leader was taken away, it would be easy for them to be able to deal with the rest of the gang members.

Nonetheless, it was not that easy to be able to get to the gang leaders. After all, during the years of laxity of the police department and the leaders of the city, the gangsters had managed to get their hands on several guns.

The gangsters would not just allow themselves to be arrested by the police. So, they resisted. That led to exchange of bullets between the police and the gangsters.

It was completely chaotic within the city, especially the Eastern part of the city. Gun shots could be heard every now and again, as the fight progressed between the two sides.

With bullets being used, it was inevitable that lives would end up being lost. And as expected, both the police and the gang side received casualties. But since the police force had prepared itself, the casualties that they received was way lower as compared to the gang's side.

The police tried as much as possible to arrest the gangsters. But if the criminals kept on attacking them using guns, they would definitely retaliate. And so, the bloodshed began.

This matter did not involve just the two sides. But the residences of the Eastern part of the city were also affected. It was not that strange to find that a person had been killed by a stray bullet.

Additionally, it was quite normal after the crackdown, to find that a gangster was holding a civilian hostage when pushed to the end of their ropes.

Others would immediately decide to kill anyone that they could see. That was only if they realized that they could not escape from this.

The majority of the gangsters that did something like that were those that had committed crimes that would not be forgiven. They would end up with life sentence, or being sentenced to death.

Since they already knew what was coming for them, they decided to have a few more other people accompany them. This was something that made the police department to begin reconsidering the action that they had taken.

A few days later, it was decided to relocate the people from the Eastern side of the city, so that they could freely deal with the gangsters. Of course, it was impossible for them to be able to move the people themselves, and so, they asked the citizens to move to the other parts of the city for the time being.

But this was definitely not the best method, considering that gangsters would also begin moving. They wanted to escape from being caught by the police, so, why would they continue remaining within the Eastern part of the city, when everyone else was relocating?
