The Bodyguard System

John could not believe just how close he had been to death in the past few moments. In just a single day, he had experienced a threat of death several times already, and had it not been that Jaden was there, he might have actually died by now.

It was also at this point that he finally began appreciating the presence of a bodyguard. At the same time, he could not help but laugh at himself internally, just how he had thought that he did not need a bodyguard.

Nevertheless, he praised himself, thinking that he had chosen the right bodyguard. If he had just accepted anyone as a bodyguard, it was clear that they might not have been able to do what Jaden had done.

On the other hand, he finally understood the terror of being targeted by a mercenary group. It was clear that the Bloodhound mercenary group was willing to go all out in order to take him out.

They had actually gone ahead and blown up the building. Even though he did not know if the building had been blown up after knowing that there were no any other mercenaries in the building, or simply because they were going to be sacrificed in order to take out John, but nonetheless, it was extremely risky.

What John tended to believe was that there was a timer on the bomb. It was clear that the mercenaries had to eliminate John within a certain time frame, before leaving or maybe disable the bomb.

But since they had been killed, and considering that the explosion had gone off just a little after John and the others had left the building, it was clear that if there was someone that was keeping watch of the activities happening there, they would have detonated the bomb while John and the others were still within the building.

John looked at Jaden. He could tell that Jaden was dedicated at being a bodyguard. Otherwise, he would not have used his own body in order to shield John.

John understood the consequences that would come if he had not been pulled down faster by Jaden. Even though Mouse had also been pulled down by Jaden, he had suffered several injuries, considering that he did not have anyone to protect him.

"Everyone, let's get back as soon as possible so that we can receive treatment. Currently, there is no one that is critically injured. So, we can keep on moving. The longer we continue being here, the higher the chances that the mercenaries might attack us." Oliver suddenly spoke.

After everyone had gotten up, they had already confirmed, making sure that none of them was fatally wounded. At least for the time being, other than the injuries that they had suffered, of different magnitudes, there was no one that was currently facing the danger of death.

Lakewood go ahead and offer first aid, but it was better for them to leave here first. After all, even if they gave those that had been injured first aid, there was a possibility that they might be attacked again by the mercenaries.

After all, currently, it was not clear if the mercenaries had already stopped attacking, or were currently preparing another method of attacking.

Oliver understood that they were in charge of dealing with the mercenaries. But despite that, they would have to be prepared. Since there was a possibility that they are was a traitor within the special unit, they would have to reorganize themselves first.

All this while, Jaden did not say anything. As for his clothes, they were shredded, but at least, they were not that bad. After all, he had been on the ground, allowing him to be able to avoid the majority of the wooden splinters that were blown over by the shockwave.

As for the injuries, Jaden did not feel anything. After all, his body had been strengthened by a great margin after taking the physique enhancing pill several times already.

Currently, unless he was at the very center of the explosion, it was quite difficult for him to be harmed. It did not seem to be scientifically possible, but that was the case, at least that was what Jaden believed according to the observations that he had made in the recent times.

After everyone had made sure that they were okay, they began moving. This time, they tried to move as fast as possible, while at the same time, making sure that they were not ambushed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A little while later, they reached the area where they had landed. They found that the helicopter that they had come in was already waiting for them. Oliver had called for it during the time that they were still within the forest.

There was no need for them to continue staying within this city, and so, they began going back to Rezi city. Inside the helicopter, due to the big space, they were able to carry out the required first aid.

Currently, it could be said that the person who was seriously injured was none other than Mouse. After all, other than the arm injury that he had received from being shot, he had also been hit by the wooden splinters.

Well, the three of them had been at the back of the group, which was the reason why the three of them had received the majority of the impact once everyone had lied on the ground.

When they get back to Rezi city, everyone that was injured was taken to the hospital. They had to get their injuries treated as soon as possible, considering that the activities of the mercenaries would not stop simply because the special unit team was not there.

John was not injured to the extent that he would need to go to the hospital. So, just after some slight bandaging in the areas where he had received several bruises, he was allowed to leave.

Oliver had decided that he would investigate the issue concerning a traitor within the special unit. Since that was the case, John did not have to bother himself with this matter.

Instead, he left the meeting point together with Jaden in his BMW 7 series that was still in the same place. While within the car, John kept on scrutinizing Jaden.

At this point, all the assumptions that John was having about Jaden had already solidified. At this point, he believed that Jaden had some form of enmity with the mercenary group that was currently targeting him.

Additionally, it was impossible for Jaden to be an ordinary person. After all, everyone within the special unit team had been injured, even if it was just a bruise. But for Jaden, other than a few red marks, he was not injured at all.

"Jaden, what is your real origin?" John suddenly asked, surprising Jaden.

Jaden continued driving, while shifting his gaze slightly to look at John. At the same time, he responded, "I don't really understand what you are trying to ask about. I do believe that with the abilities of the Roberts family, by now, you have already found all the information about me."

Of course, Jaden understood that the information that John had found out about him was all related to what the AI had allowed them to find. The other piece of information that they could get maybe was from a person who had the information beforehand, before Jaden had gotten the AI to hide the information about himself, or the one that was in hard copy.

John remained silent upon hearing that. To him, he understood that Jaden did not seem to want to reveal his background information. But despite that, at this point, he understood that Jaden did not have any ulterior motives against him.

After all, if Jaden really wanted him dead, he would not have saved him several times already. That was especially during the first time, after they had just entered the forest.

"Even though I want to believe what you are saying is the truth, I am getting the feeling that I should not believe it. I do believe that you are hiding a lot of things." John said before finally falling silent.

Jaden did not respond at all. He understood that some doubts would surely arise the moment that he showed his strength. But of course, he was not going to explain anything.

In any case, it was not as if he was an enemy. But still, he understood that there was a possibility that he might be targeted by many people. But still, it was not as if he was not already targeted by someone, a power that was quite formidable within the country.

Silence dominated while Jaden drove back towards the Roberts family residence. After they got there, John got out of the car, looked at Jaden for a little while.

He seemed to be hesitating about saying something, and finally, he seemed to decide not to say anything at all. He simply gave Jaden a nod, before turning around and heading towards the entrance of the Robert residence.

According to the agreement that they had signed, Jaden would only be John's bodyguard during the time that he was out during a mission, or out of the Robert residence.

As for the other times, John claimed that there was no need for that. After all, he believed that with the security of his family, it was impossible for anyone to be able to get him. That was especially considering that they were currently inside Rezi city.

Just a few seconds after John had left, when Jaden was preparing himself to drive away, a prompt from the system suddenly appeared in front of his vision.
