Chapter 639 CODE RED

Chapter 639 CODE RED

Theodore did not expect that Jayden would bring this many people to his residence on such a short notice, because he thought that the plan was going smoothly and it would be impossible for Jayden to find out beforehand. Theodore never thought that Jayden would come in such a well-prepared manner.

Hence, no one dared to initiate a provocation from Theodore's side.

On the other hand, they also didn't receive an order to attack from Theodore, therefore, they just stood guard without doing anything.

This was truly something they could not have imagined would happen, especially with their plot to kidnap Apple and think that they would profit and have a hand above Jayden.

It was just that they miscalculated every single thing.

"What do you want to eat?" Jayden asked as he opened the door for Apple, who was still looking around. She felt very strange at Jayden's question in the midst of such a tense situation.

"Hmm, I want some seafood," Apple muttered as she got into the car, but Jayden covered her head with his palm, so her head wouldn't hit the car door frame.

"Okay, we are going to a seafood restaurant." Jayden then looked at his watch and started thinking about seafood restaurants that were still open at this hour.

As soon as Jayden got into the car, Adrian who became their driver and simultaneously, the group of ten cars that Jayden had brought here drove away, leaving the Gevano family's yard, without anyone daring to stop them.

In fact, Theodore could only stand on the porch staring at them in rage, but he too couldn't do anything in a situation like this.

He stood there until the last car was out of sight, clenched his fists in annoyance and walked straight into the house after that.

It went without saying that he was furious that his plan to use Apple, to pressure Jayden, had failed miserably.

He walked furiously back to his study and started making calls to change their 'delivery' plan, since Jayden had known of the plan beforehand.

So, it was certain that the first plan would fail, as Jayden would be there to catch them red-handed and personally see to it that Theodore received punishment. At this time, he was still under surveillance, even though there was already someone who was willing to be his scapegoat to later be blamed for the human trafficking case that ensnared him.

"Fuck!" cried Theodore. He looked very angry. His already wrinkled face twisted as his jaw clenched hard. "FUCK!"

Meanwhile, after leaving the Gevano family residence, in a bulletproof car, where Apple and Jayden sat side by side enjoying the night, Apple turned her body to face the man.

"Now tell me," Apple said in a serious tone, glaring at Jayden. "What was that all about?"

Jayden then turned his attention from the game on his cellphone to his fiancée.

"What do you mean?" Jayden asked innocently. He then put away his cell phone because it seemed that his girlfriend wanted to talk to him more seriously. "I don't understand, explain to me." Jayden turned his body to face Apple.

"I don't remember that we planned to bring so many people," said Apple. She wouldn't have thought that Jayden would go full nuclear when he came to the Gevano residence.

"I only brought a few people."

"How many people exactly?"

Jayden then turned his attention to Adrian. "How many people did we bring?" he asked Adrian.

"There are fifty- four people," answered Adrian briefly.

Then Jayden turned his attention to Apple. "Fifty- four people."

"I thought you would only bring a few people." Because that was exactly what Jayden said when they made the plan.

"Yeah, fifty- four people were a few people," Jayden replied in a matter of fact tone.

In Apple's mind, a few people meant ten to fifteen people, not more than fifty.

"Babe, you are in the enemy's place, I will definitely make sure everything is safe and under control. Since you said to bring only a few people, I only brought a few people earlier," Jayden said in a low voice.

Jayden also gave Apple his sweetest smile.

"How many people would you bring if I told you, you could go all out?" asked Apple curiously.

It was not that Apple was angry or resentful, but she felt that the communication between them needed to be improved.

Hearing the question, Jayden smirked. "If I go all out, that means code red."

"What is that?" Apple had never heard of such a term and had no idea what it meant either.

"Adrian," Jayden called, asking him to explain this to Apple, because he wanted to focus on the change in Apple's facial expressions while she heard Adrian's explanation.

Adrian then explained about code red, which was a term for Jayden to deploy all of his forces, which meant every single one of them.

Code red was initiated by Ramon at first because Hailee had been kidnapped and each of its members could be ascertained as elite people who were very skilled in using weapons and even creating explosives.

"Air force?" Apple found herself whispering.

"Yes, there are a number of helicopters available for emergencies and they are specifically meant for this." Adrian then added. "Each member will get a trial for code red training every six months, so if code red is needed they will be ready."

Apple didn't know how crazy the Tordoff family was to spend that much money on training.

"So, when was the last time this code red was used?" asked Apple. She couldn't help but be curious abouts this.

Adrian smirked, he saw Apple's facial expression from the rearview mirror as he replied, "In almost three decades, only once."

"Only one time?!" Apple widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard that, but then glared at Jayden as he suddenly kissed her cheek.

"Yes, it happened when Mr. Tordoff was kidnapped when he was a teenager," Adrian told Apple, he only found out about this when he joined the security unit formed by the Tordoff family.

"Your surprised expression is so cute, I can't help but kiss you," Jayden seemed to answer the stare that Apple gave him, then kissed her again.

"Stop kissing me," Apple grumbled, covering her cheeks with both hands. "I still have more questions."

But, Jayden then gave a quick peck on Apple's lips, because he couldn't kiss her cheeks. "Just ask. You can ask whatever you want," he said cheerfully, staring at the look on Apple's face.

"If you don't use it for that long, why do routine training like that?" Being Pyro's daughter, she knew that kind of training would hurt your pockets, well, maybe not the pockets of the Tordoffs.

Apple became curious as to how rich the Tordoffs really were.

"I didn't expect to use it," Jayden replied easily, then provided a comparison that was much easier to understand. "If you buy a taser to protect yourself, do you expect to use it? Or are you going to throw it away because you have no use of it?"

"Well..." Apple nodded her head. "I don't think I will want to use it…" she said honestly.

There was no way she would expect to use those personal protective tools, as that would mean she would be in danger and under attack, so there was no way she would want that.

Likewise with code red, if it was used, it meant it was an emergency situation, which was a very critical thing.

So, there was no way they would expect something really bad to happen to their family so they could use code red.

But…

"But… that training costs a lot, doesn't it?" asked Apple carefully, because she didn't want to misspoke.

Jayden smirked when he heard that, he then rubbed Apple's head very gently.

"Right." Jayden nodded. "But don't worry, because I have a lot of money," he said arrogantly, flexing his wealthiness.

Hearing this, Apple didn't know what to say and let Jayden hug her while laughing.

Wow… if you are rich, even when you are being arrogant, you can be excused and actually make other people feel sorry for themselves.

"How can you be so arrogant..." Apple began, making Jayden let go of his embrace and look at the girl with curious eyes to know what was going on. "…but still look very charming." Apple smiled at Jayden who then kissed her.

Code red was originally launched by Ramon after Hailee was abducted in the past. The last time it was used was when Jayden was kidnapped as a teenager, but after that, its use never came again.

"Stop it, I still want to ask you one more thing," Apple said in a slightly breathless voice, while Adrian tried to ignore them both.

It seemed like Adrian was already very skilled in tuning out the both of them when they wanted to tease each other like this.

"What?" Jayden asked as he rested his head on Apple's Shoulder and was about to start the game again, but Apple took his phone and made Jayden pay attention to herself.

"What do you mean by your long lecture about humanity and all?" asked Apple. "I didn't know that you had such high morals that you thought about the safety of all humanity." Had he forgotten what he had done to the poor people he had caught?

But, of course, Apple didn't say that and kept it to herself.
