The Bodyguard System

John was surprised the moment that he heard that Jaden did not have the intention of joining the special unit. Could it be that Jaden was genuine about being a bodyguard? He did not have any other underlying motives of joining the special unit by the use of the opportunity of being his bodyguard?

As he thought about that, John could not help but think that Jaden was bluffing. He looked at Jaden, only to realize that Jaden was extremely serious when he said those words, and there was no hint of joke on his face.

"I'm quite content with being a bodyguard. I don't really want to be bound by so many rules involved in the special unit or in the military. I want to be a free person." Jaden gave an explanation.

Well, it was a lie. After all, the reason why Jaden was a bodyguard was simply because of the system. Otherwise, if there was another option, why would Jaden not take it? He only became a bodyguard, because the system had already become a bodyguard system on the very same day that he had been injured.

And, had it not been for the fact that he had been thoroughly injured back then, he would have selected another profession. It was simply because the system wanted to heal him, that it made a decision for him.

John remained silent for quite a while after hearing Jaden's words. Even though he found it to be inconceivable, he thought that there was a possibility of something like that happening. After all, with Jaden's talent, he could actually join other special units that were better than the special unit that John belonged to.

In any case, that was a possibility. As for the matter of Jaden saying that he was satisfied with just being a bodyguard, John took it as an excuse that Jaden had made. Maybe Jaden did not want to refuse straightforward, but instead, he decided to give a reason as to why he did not want to accept.

"Okay then. But I'm not going to remove that clause. In any case, even though I am free to invite you, it is your decision whether you want to join or not. I do believe that you will be able to change your mind after staying with the unit for quite a while. You will find that it is quite a good job." John said, not willing to continue trying to convince Jaden to join the special unit.

Jaden continued reading through the agreement. In the agreement, it stated that his monthly salary was going to be as high as $150,000. This surprised Jaden, but when he thought much about it, he realized that it was not that much at all.

At the end of it all, by being a bodyguard, he was basically joining the special unit, even though not as an official member of the special unit. For that reason, in any case that John was going to encounter a mercenary, Jaden would have to take action.

And due to that, his life would be in danger throughout the entire time, especially considering that currently, John was being targeted by an entire mercenary group.

Since that was the case, the team that John belonged to would obviously be facing more frequent attacks as compared to the other teams of the same unit. And, considering that the second in command of the mercenary group had sworn that he wanted to kill John, then this would obviously lead to the majority of the top level members of the mercenary group taking action.

Jaden did not know much about this mercenary group, other than the information that he had managed to acquire from the AI. Well, the AI had provided more detailed information, but Jaden did not have the time to go through the entire thing.

Nonetheless, according to the information that he had gathered about this mercenary group, it might be true that the majority of the members of this mercenary group were ordinary people with quite some combat strength, the equipment that they used was something that had to be observed.

They acquired different kinds of weapons, and all the weapons that they used were of a high level. Additionally, the second in command and the leader of the mercenary group were all people that possessed incredible combat power.

This was something that Jaden had found out through the information. In any case, according to the information, it was clear that the two of them could actually combat a group of almost 20 people by themselves. And, they would be able to defeat them without suffering any injuries.

Just from this, Jaden had his own suspicions that there was a possibility that these two were actually mutants.

Jaden had already investigated about mutants, but until this day, he had not managed to find much information about the mutants. It was clear that the information about mutants was tightly controlled.

It was controlled in such a way that it was not even in the data system of the countries within the world. Otherwise, with the ability of the AI, it would have already managed to access the information, and presented the information to Jaden.

And, Jaden could remember Scott. That old man. Even though Jaden was not really sure about it, he believed that there was a great possibility that Scott was also a mutant. And if that was the case, that implied that mutants possessed incredible fighting capabilities, and even special abilities.

After making sure that everything within the agreement was okay, Jaden went ahead and signed. The moment that he signed the agreement, he officially began his official duty as a bodyguard.

When John saw that Jaden had signed the contract, he smiled. He felt that there was going to be quite some time for him to be able to convince Jaden to be able to join the special unit.

"Okay then. Previously, I had planned that within the next 5 days, I would be trying to find a bodyguard that would match my requirements. After that, I would be going back to the special unit, considering that I am required." John spoke.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "But now that you have already taken on this role, I don't really need to continue waiting here. So, tomorrow, I will be leaving this city, considering that the special unit team that I am in is going to another city within this province.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was an incident in another city that needs to be taken care of. A few mercenaries were spotted, and it seems that they are targeting a certain government official.

We have to neutralize this group of mercenaries before they take action. We cannot allow them to do anything against the leaders within our nation."

Jaden had not acquired that information. In any case, he did not really actively look for information related to the moves that were going to be made by John's team. He had only gone through the past information and the present, and not what was being planned.

"That's okay with me. Today, I will be able to finalize everything that needs to be taken care of within this city. Then, we can depart tomorrow." Jaden responded.

"Okay then. I will leave you alone. I still need to talk to my family about this issue, so that they can no longer be that much worried about me." John said as he stood up.

Jaden also stood up at the same time. Since John was about to leave, Jaden did not see the intention of continuing to stay here anyway. So, they could leave together.

After getting out of the restaurant, John got inside an Audi that was waiting for him, before leaving. As for Jaden, he simply strolled for a little bit, before taking a cab, and heading straight towards the car flagship store.

He needed to make a purchase of a car. Even if he was not going to use it, considering that they were going to go out of the city, but he could still use it when he came back to the city. After all, the main operations of the team, was actually located within this city.

It might be true that the team would continuously move from one city to another, but its main operations were within this city, indicating that most of the time, they would be within this city.

But just as Jaden had settled in the backseat of the taxi, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, Jaden immediately realized that the caller was actually none other than Sasha.

Jaden had already saved her contact information in his phone. And now that she was contacting him, he was able to easily tell that she was the one. And since she was calling, Jaden believed that she had already decided on what to do.

Jaden picked the call, and remained silent, wanting to hear what Sasha had to say.

Sasha on the other hand had remained silent for quite a while, before finally speaking. "I have already made my decision. I am going through the information that you provided me, and I have decided that I'm going to agree to join your company. When am I supposed to come for an interview?"
