The Bodyguard System

The following day, Jaden did not accompany John. After all, for the entire day, John was still within the Roberts residence.

It was clear that after that incident, it was going to take quite a while for the team to be given another mission. At the moment, the investigation about a traitor being within the special unit was already in progress.

Unless they were sure about the traitor, the Eagle team would not be taking action. The other teams would have to cover for them, until the day that the traitor would be found.

After all, if they took action, and the information about the eagle team was leaked to the enemies, the entire team might end up being wiped out. That was a loss that the government would definitely not want to suffer.

It took quite a lot of resources and effort in order to be able to train such an elite team. So of course, the government would not be willing to simply lose them to a small mercenary group.

Jaden took that day to continue practicing. Even though he felt that he had gotten more proficient in using the telekinesis ability, he still wanted to continue improving it.

Even though the rate of improvement was quite low, still, it was still an improvement. And for that, Jaden was even more motivated to continue training.

At the same time, he was quite curious about what reward he might end up getting next. In case John was involved in a very dangerous situation, and Jaden managed to save him, what was he going to receive?

What if he ended up receiving another awakening pill, could he activate another ability? Jaden was not sure about that, and even after he had asked the system about it, the system did not respond at all.

Jaden decided to assume that the reason behind that was simply because he did not possess another pill. Otherwise, the system would have definitely not refused to respond.

In any case, there was no need for him to think about that. All that he would have to do was to complete the task as a bodyguard. As for the rest, the rewards and other things, they would just come by themselves.

He might be looking forward to receiving another awakening pill, but who knew, there was a possibility that he might actually receive something that was even beyond the awakening pill. After all, the reward system of the system was not something that was predictable.

An entire week went by just like that ever since Jaden arrived in Rezi city. There was not that much activity for Jaden, other than just practicing, and loitering around the city from time to time.

And all this while, John did not seem to have come out of the Roberts residence. It seemed that he was kind of preoccupied with something, or maybe his family did not allow him to go out, for the fear that he might be targeted by the mercenary group.

As illogical as it might seem for a member of a special unit that was formed to specially deal with the mercenaries, to be protected so that he could avoid the mercenaries, that was just how the love of a family was.

The activities within the city had suddenly increased in the past few days. The reason behind that was due to the fact that the end of the year was approaching, and there was always a celebration.

This celebration would last for two consecutive days, at the very end of December, and on the very first day of January of the start of the new year.

This was a celebration that was carried out worldwide. Everyone celebrated the end of a year. It was either the end of a year that had been successful for them, or maybe for the hope that with the end of that particular year, the hardships that they had been undergoing would end.

Despite the reason, it was always a call for celebration during those two days. And, the preparations had already began long ago, it was just that the activities had gotten more intense in recent times, considering that it was only going to be one week before the end of the year arrived.

As Jaden walked down the street, looking at the decorations that had already begun being installed, he could not help but begin thinking about his own life.

He could remember clearly that ever since he was young, despite how busy his parents had been, they would always make sure to make time to come over and celebrate with him for these 2 days.

And then, after they passed away, he had struggled, and was not in a position to be able to celebrate at all. At the end of it all, while others hoped that they would get a brighter future starting the following day which was going to be the next year, he had no hope at all.

He had been thinking that he had been abandoned by the world, and that was something that had been proven time and again for the past 6 years.

But then, his life suddenly took a turn for the best. Just when he was about to die, thinking that he could only take revenge in his next life, he suddenly received a system that saved him.

It was with the appearance of the system that his life took a complete turn. It was a turn that allowed him to be able to take revenge on his uncle that was in the lead of acquiring everything that his parents had left behind.

It was the same system that had enabled him to be able to change his life. And, it was due to the system that he was able to reach where he currently was, and he believed that he was going to go beyond that.

His parents had asked him to find the laboratory, and that was what he was planning to do. It was just that he was planning on staying here for quite some time, trying to use the system to the fullest.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was only after he was extremely sure that he could take care of that mercenary group and that Smith family that he would go ahead and try dealing with them. But before that, it was better for him to accumulate his strength.

Even though things had not changed that much when it came to the celebration ever since he lost his parents, but at least, Jaden felt more relaxed. At least at this point, he had hope in his life.

It might be true that he was alone here, but he believed that his life would be completely different starting next year. Right now, he did not want to get involved in any form of relationship.

At the end of it all, he was always risking his life by being a bodyguard. He did not want others to experience the same feeling that he had experienced back then when he lost his parents.

That was the main reason why he had always been carefree, not being worried that someone would be sad after he had left. That was the very reason why he was willing to risk his life, just to be able to gain benefits from the system.

Even though it was quite advantageous, when there was nothing that was holding him back, there was still that sense of loneliness. It was true that he had survived for over 6 years by himself, but it was never a happy time for him.

If he really had any other choice, he would really hope to go back to the time that his parents were still alive. If he could still be having his parents until now, Jaden would obviously not try to risk his life as he was doing now.

As for losing the system, why would he really care about the system anymore if he had his family? It was true that the system could help him protect his family by giving him the strength, but still, it was that same system that would give him a condition of risking his life in order to gain the strength.

Not that Jaden was blaming the system. At the end of it all, everything that had to happen had already happened. He had already lost his parents, he already had a system right now, and, if he had not lost his parents, Jaden believed that there was a great possibility that he might not have received the system.

Even though until today, he was not sure about how he had gotten the system, if it was just coincidental, or maybe it was from the bite from the dog, but all the same, he still appreciated the fact that after all that he had gone through, he had some form of leverage.

As Jaden continued reminiscing about his past, he suddenly got a strange feeling in his heart. It was a feeling that there was a creature that was watching him.

It was a feeling that a prey got when being washed by a predator. Jaden could not help but feel chills running down his spine. He immediately began looking around cautiously, while trying to make sure not to arouse the suspicion of whoever it was that was looking at him.

But he could not tell who it was that was looking at him with a gaze that gave him such a feeling. The crowd of people around him was going on with their own business, and it was almost impossible for Jaden to be able to tell who it was that was looking at him like that.

In normal occasions, Jaden would obviously be able to find them due to his current improved abilities and vision. But now, it was clear that whoever it was that was looking at him was not an ordinary person.

Suddenly, Jaden instinctively moved to the side. He had felt that danger was approaching, and his sharp sense of hearing could catch the sound of something cutting through the air as it approached him from the back.
