The Bodyguard System

Central Province…

Within a forest, there was an underground basement. Within this underground basement, there was a hidden facility that was carrying out a research of its own.

This was clearly a secret base, cutting out secret activities. And what would shock many people was the fact that even the government was not aware of the project here.

Within this laboratory that was hidden underground, there were many scientists. All these scientists were from different parts of the world, and they were extremely skilled when it came to genetics.

If people saw these scientists, they would be extremely shocked. The reason behind that being the fact that all of them have been presumed dead. They had already been buried by now, and people had already attended their funeral.

But here they were, alive and were currently carrying out a research. And just by looking at the expressions on their faces, one could easily tell that they had actually not been forced, but instead, they were happy about being here.

That was something that the majority of the scientists would love. Being able to find a project that they could research on. Considering the financial assistance that they were receiving here, they were able to carry out any form of research, in their field.

At this moment, within an office that was still within the underground facility, there was a conversation between four people. All of them were currently wearing masks, one that if Jaden saw, would find that it was similar to the man that he had just caught trying to kill him.

"It has already been a week ever since we sent him. But he is not it back. This is a clear indication that he has either not found the target, or he is dead." One of the four suddenly spoke.

The others remained silent for a while, before another one commented, "We can eliminate any possibility of him not being able to find the target. With the information that we have, we already know that he is currently in Rezi City."

"Then that leaves us with only one result, meaning that he is already dead. I told you before that there is a great possibility that that youngster is currently a mutant. But you never took me seriously." The first person spoke up again.

"Of course we took you seriously. We informed him that there was a possibility that the target is a mutant. So, he had to be careful, so that he would be able to deal with that youngster without any hitches." Commented yet another one.

"That is not enough. A mutant is not that easy to deal with. Additionally, we don't know which ability he has. That makes things difficult to handle. If we sent a mutant, and the mutant that we send just happens to be weak against the ability of that youngster, then that would be completely useless. We would be losing mutants for nothing." Said the person who had been silent all this while.

"What are you suggesting?" One asked, but the other three all looked words the person who had just spoken. From their eyes and the tone of the person who had spoken, it was clear that they were willing to listen to what he had to say.

Additionally, there was a form of subservience in the stance of the other three. From this, one could easily infer that that person was holding a higher position as compared to the others.

"It is quite simple. Send two mutants at the same time. These mutants have to be the complete opposite of the other. That way, it will be easy for us to be able to deal with him." The man said calmly.

"Is that not too risky? Sending just one mutant is already risky. After all, the government will be able to tell that there is a mutant as long as they take action. And if we send two of them at the same time, they might be detected, which might lead to the two of them being hunted down by the government's mutants." One of them could not help but ask.

"What do you think? What is important right now? If it is true that that youngster has already become a mutant, then that implies that there is some form of modification that was done on him by his parents before they were eliminated.

They were the ones that started this project, and there is a great possibility that as long as this kid is given enough time, he would be able to find out more about his abilities. At that time, things will be extremely difficult if he comes looking for us." The one with the highest power within the group responded.

"That is true. He is dangerous, but not at the moment. What if we take him alive. We have to look away to lure him here, before finally taking action against him. It is either he joins us, or we use his body for research, in order to find out what methods were used in order to make him a mutant." Another one commented.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"This is a little troublesome. What you have said is right, but it carries some form of risk. But, what are we really supposed to do? We obviously cannot allow him to grow, considering that if it turns out that he has a better ability in his body, and becomes a nuisance in the future, then things will turn to be worse than we have ever expected."

"The idea of having him join us is impossible. We were involved in the death of his parents, and I do believe that he might even know about it. So, the only option of us having him come over is to use his body for experiments."

"That's right. It will be better if he is alive. At least if he is alive, we can carry out many more experiments, to be able to know much more just from his living cells."

"Okay. I have decided this. We are going to send three mutants. I know that it is extremely dangerous to send three mutants, but we can sacrifice them in order for a better future.

They will go there, and try to subdue him. If it gets difficult, they can just kill him, then bring back the body. Even if it is not good enough to use a dead body, it is still enough to use his body.

We are already about to succeed in the research, and as long as we get a small boost, it should not be difficult for us to be able to succeed. At that time, we will not even need that kid. In fact, we will not need to even be afraid of his growth."

"Okay. I will inform the Smith about this plan. They should at least contribute one of the mutants that is going to be involved in this. It is impossible for us to be the only ones to risk things, considering the they are also involved in this."

The conversation between the four of them ended, and a decision was made. Three mutants were to be sent to look for the target who was none other than Jaden.

It was clear that they had been able to find much more information about Jaden, and they understood that his strength was currently beyond ordinary.

They had been keeping an eye on Jaden all this while, which was part of an experiment. Otherwise, they would have already eliminated him long ago, when he was still struggling in the streets.

They just wanted to be sure if Jaden's parents had left anything for him. And so far, it seems that whatever it is that they had left for him was inside his body, something that was giving him the strength.

And considering that the person that they had sent over to kill Jaden had not returned till this day, they believed that he had already been killed. And since that was the case, there was a great possibility that Jaden was the one that had killed him.

….

Jaden did not know that he was currently being targeted. Instead, he was processing the information that he had been given. It was completely unexpected to him.

There was actually a level that was beyond the mutant level? He was not sure about it, but it seems that he would have to be extremely careful in the future.

Additionally, he hoped that John would start going out soon. It had already been a week ever since that incident, but John did not seem to be getting ready to be involved in any mission that would lead to him dealing with mercenaries.

As for the Bloodhound Mercenary group, they had also not made any move at all. They have not tried targeting John, which was to be expected considering that he had been within the Roberts residence all this while, and they were within Rezi City.

No matter how much Jaden hoped, it was not as if he was going to change anything. He could not just ask John to go ahead and put his life in danger, so that he could save him, right?

It was just that It was impossible for Jaden to do that. But if he would have to do, he really would have wanted to do that, so that he could get more rewards from the system, and get stronger. He believed that the telekinesis ability that he had received was not enough to be able to deal with the mercenary group and the Smith family.
