The Bodyguard System

The stern expression that was on Jaden's face disappeared. What replaced it was a polite smile, as he went ahead and shook hands with each and every person around.

Despite feeling that his previous gaze was quite startling, the others also revealed polite smiles as they shook hands with Jaden. Since Jaden was polite, there was no need for them to show any form of arrogance.

After the introduction was over, finally, the captain spoke. "Mr. Jaden, it is a pleasure to meet you. I do believe that John has already informed you about what you are supposed to do, and what you are not supposed to do while being with us, the members of a special unit."

"He has already informed me of everything." Jaden responded. After all, John had already told him everything through the contract that he had signed the previous day.

While nodding, the captain said, "That's good. I am the captain of the team as John has just said, you can refer to me as Oliver, or Captain Oliver, according to your preferences. Anyway, we don't have that much time to waste, it's better for us to get moving."

As he said those words, Oliver turned around and looked at the group of soldiers that had already come out of the helicopter and said, "What are you guys waiting for? Board the helicopter already. We don't have time to waste here."

Oliver's bulky frame easily intimidated the other soldiers. They understood only for quite well. He was a person who did not like joking that much, but he's still entertained jokes. As contradictory as it could seem, that was just how Oliver's personality was.

After everyone had gotten inside the helicopter, Jaden made sure to be close to John. Since he was currently a bodyguard, he had to ensure the safety of his client. And, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to ensure John's safety while being quite a distance away from him.

The other soldiers could not help but start snickering while hiding from John. They were obviously finding it funny that John, someone who was very strong, always boasted about how strong he was within the team, actually had to be protected by a bodyguard.

It might be true that he was the one who was directly involved with the killing of the son of the second in command of the Bloodhound mercenary group, but nonetheless, the entire team was involved as well. At the end of it all, they had wiped out the small stronghold together.

John on the other hand simply glanced at those that were laughing, and he could tell what they were thinking about. It was clear that they did not believe that John was saying the truth, when he said that Jaden was stronger than him.

But he did not even bother to try and correct them. He decided to keep silent about it. They would be able to see just how strong Jaden was later on. At that time, he would simply watch as they shifted in their expressions, being amazed by the power that Jaden possessed.

At the same time, he just hoped that one of them was going to try and ask Jaden for a sparring match. If something like that happened, and Jaden defeated that person with just a single attack, or within a few moves, John would have his chance of laughing.

Jaden remained silent during the entire trip. In any case, he did not have anything in common to discuss with the people around him. And other than John, he was not familiar with the others.

Even though the mood within the helicopter was quite good, with many of the soldiers chatting from time to time, laughing about some silly things, Jaden chose to remain silent.

At the same time, he felt that it was quite a waste of time for him to just continue sitting there without getting something. But as professionalism was involved, it was impossible for him to use his phone during such a time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

True it was that he trusted his abilities, especially after taking the final physique enhancing pill that he had received from the system back then, he still did not wish to take any risk. After all, that was just how a bodyguard was supposed to be.

After chatting for over 30 minutes, finally, many people decided to stop talking. After all, they could not continuously talk for a very long time. Their mouths needed to rest after all.

About 20 minutes later, with the journey taking slightly over 50 minutes, they finally arrived. The helicopter landed in a clearing that was located quite a distance away from the city.

The moment that they landed, the soldiers that had been chatty previously suddenly changed. Each of their expressions became extremely stern. They looked so serious that they might actually frighten a little kid just by looking at them.

They uniformly jumped out of the helicopter, with a backpack on each of their backs. They were currently holding guns, and each and every one of them was currently fully equipped.

Jaden was the only person that looked completely out of place. After all, he was the only person that was currently wearing a suit, and not carrying any weapon with him.

Additionally, while others were currently wearing military uniform that was black, with several gray spots, he seemed more like a business person rather than a bodyguard.

John looked at Jaden, realizing that perhaps Jaden really needed a weapon. So, he asked, "Jaden, do you have the license for using a gun?"

"Yeah." Jaden responded simply. During the time that he was still working as a bodyguard back in the Johnson family, Clifford had managed to acquire a license that allowed Jaden to be able to use guns.

The only problem was that until today, he had not registered any gun under his name. As for the gun that he possessed, it was the gun that he had taken during the time that he had gone to assist Angela in the raid of the gangsters.

He had managed to hide that gun, and took it back later on. Even though he was not currently having it here, it was back in the villa that he had recently bought.

As for the reason why he had not carried it when he was coming over, it was simply because he did not want to waste the chances of using the appearance shifting watch.

Previously, for him to be able to carry the gun with him, to the extent of even having it during the time that he was using a plane to fly to Rezi city, he had used the camouflage ability of the appearance shifting watch.

He used the appearance shifting watch to be able to transform the gun that he was carrying into a small wallet. Even though his appearance did not change, with him maintaining his appearance, and considering that he was holding the wallet, it was not detected by the systems at the airport.

That was something that really amazed Jaden. After all, it seemed that the ability of the appearance shifting watch was just too overpowered. After all, to be able to hide something like that, something that was considered as extremely dangerous in an airport, to be able to go through the systems without alarming them.

After receiving Jaden's response, John went ahead and took out a pistol. He handed it over to Jaden and said, "You can use this for the time being. I do presume that since you already have a license for using guns, you do have the capability of using it, right?"

"Yeah. I have no problems when it comes to using this gun." Jaden responded.

John on the other hand did not believe that Jaden was that much skilled in using the gun, just as skilled as he was at fighting. After all, it was not something that easy to be able to master both fighting and the use of a gun.

Additionally, there was a possibility that Jaden could only use a pistol. And if he was given other guns, he might find it difficult to be able to use them.

It was expected of a bodyguard to be able to use different guns, but according to the information that John had acquired about Jaden, he understood that Jaden had never undergone any professional training on how to be a bodyguard.

After everything was set, the entire group of 14 began moving. The helicopter on the other hand flew away, just a few moments after everybody had alighted.

Currently, they were all walking, moving towards the opposite direction of the city. Jaden was slightly surprised, considering that he had thought that they were going to go towards the city.

Despite his surprise, he continued observing his surroundings. At the same time, he watched the movements of the soldiers around him. Even though they were walking casually, each and every one of them seemed to be quite sharp, ready to take action at any moment.

As the group moved, more than 30 minutes went by. And, they had finally reached quite a distance away from the city. They had not been moving at a fast pace, but still, they had covered quite some distance.

Additionally, they were currently inside a natural forest that was located close to the city. The moment that they reached this area, John looked at Jaden and said, "Be prepared. We are entering an enemy territory. A fight can break out at any moment, so, be ready to take action."
