The Bodyguard System

Chapter 394: Hostage



What Jaden did not realize at this moment was the fact that this guy did not even think about leaving. After observing the battlefield, and seeing his teammates being taken out easily, he understood that it was impossible for him to be able to get out of here alive.

After all, even the fastest person within the team had been easily taken out by Jaden, as if the speed did not really matter. Since that was the case, he, as a person that did not have a combat ability, would definitely not be capable of escaping.

Jaden did not take action against this guy. Since this guy was already trembling, Jaden could tell that the guy was already scared, and it was almost impossible for him to take action against him.

Since that was the case, Jaden went ahead and killed off the others, leaving behind only this guy who was still trembling.

It was also at this moment that nameless came from the elevator. He looked at the dead bodies on the ground, then before looking at Jaden with amazement clear in his eyes.

He had never anticipated that Jaden was this strong. Maybe there was something that his parents had done for him, allowing him to become this strong?

Or, was it possible that his parents had actually decided to try out the research on their own son first, before carrying out the experiment using other humans?

That was a possibility. Otherwise, why was it that Jaden was this strong? And, maybe even his parents had gone ahead and used a method that they had not used on others, allowing Jaden to grow extremely strong in such a short time.

"That guy definitely doesn't have the capability of fighting. He should possess much more information about those guys that came looking for you. What do you think? Should we take him with us, or are you going to kill him?" Nameless asked as he looked at the guy that was still trembling.

But even before Jaden could respond, nameless suddenly spoke up again. This time, his tone was urgent. "We have to get out of here as soon as possible. The mutants from the government are currently rushing over. It is clear that the battle between you guys has already attracted them, and they will be here in the next 2 minutes at most."

Jaden was not surprised upon hearing that. That was something that he had already been expecting, considering that a battle within the central province would definitely attract those mutants.

Additionally, they were currently within the heart of the city. The only thing that surprised Jaden was the fact that they would take that long to get here. It had already taken quite some time for the fight to end, and 2 minutes more, that indicated that they were quite a distance away.

"Let's go with him. I have a lot of questions that I would like to ask. But we obviously cannot stay here. We will have to leave this place as soon as possible." Jaden stated as he looked at the guy that was looking at him with fear in his eyes.

Jaden understood that it was going to be impossible for him to be able to contain this guy within this hotel. After all, if this guy just decided to use his ability, then there was a possibility that he was going to attract over the mutants from the government.

Currently, even though Jaden understood that those mutants would come looking for him soon, he decided that it was better for him to avoid them as much as possible.

Currently, it could be said that he was not their enemy. They had the same common enemy, which was the Smith family, and the Raven mercenary group.

But, for the time being, Jaden did not want to be associated with the government. After all, some of the government officials were involved with the death of his parents.

Jaden would only feel safe if he was strong enough to be able to survive even in the face of the strongest mutant within this world. And since that was the case, it was better for him to try and find time to study the stone that had been upgraded by the system after he had used the rebate card on it.

Nameless simply nodded. Then, he looked at the guy and said, "You are a mutant, and the moment that the government finds you, you are definitely going to die. So, why don't you come with us and answer a few questions, then we can consider letting you go?"

It was clear that currently, Nameless did not want to force this guy to come with them. If he did something like that, yes, they would be able to easily take this guy away with them, but if he attracted the attention of the government mutants, then things would definitely get complicated.

Currently, at this moment, nameless himself was not registered as a mutant by the government. And from the government's perspective, those mutants that had not been registered were from the enemy side.

In case they were found taking action, they would be immediately executed. Of course, nameless still loved his life, and was not willing to throw it away.

Jaden did not say anything, but instead, looked at the guy. If this guy refused, Jaden would just go ahead and knock him out. Then, he would take him out of this city, and maybe take him to another province, before asking him the necessary questions.

As for the capability of leaving this province with someone who was obviously a captive, that was not something that was difficult for the current Jaden. Yes, his influence had actually increased for quite a while now.

It was just that he was not paying much attention to that kind of influence, while knowing about the existence of the mutants. Additionally, with the money that he possessed, through the AI, he had already invested in several companies.

Using the connections that he possessed, he would be able to easily get anywhere within this country. And, he had already begun investing in other countries, just to increase his influence.

In a battle between mutants, that was something that could be considered completely useless. But for other things, being a mutant would definitely not be able to handle it. After all, even the government possessed mutants of its own, and if he dared to fight his way through everything, there was a possibility that he was going to meet with a mutant that was going to be able to take him out.

The guy, even though he was trembling, he understood the options that were available for him to choose. Well, there was nothing here for him to choose at all.

He understood that the only option for him to be able to survive any longer would definitely accompanying Jaden and this other guy.

In any case, if he came into contact with the mutants from the government, it was clear that he was definitely going to be killed right here right now. And so, it would be better for him to leave first.

As for the information that they were going to inquire about, obviously, he did not have much of an intention about revealing them. Yes, he could reveal a few pieces of information, but that was definitely not what they wanted.

They clearly wanted the crucial information about where he came from, and that was not something that he could reveal. In fact, if he really could, he would have already done that.

That was obviously something that could save his life. It was just that if he tried to do something like that, he would die the moment that he tried revealing the information.

That was something that was set up by the higher ups of the Raven mercenary group. There was a group of people that possessed an ability of creating restrictions, and the moment that someone broke the restriction, they would be killed on the spot.

So, he thought that even if he was going to undergo torture in the hands of Jaden and this other guy, it would be better, considering that he would be living a little while longer.

So, he nodded his head when he saw that both Jaden and that other guy were looking for him, waiting for his response.

The moment that the guy agreed, nameless led the way. Within the underground parking, Jaden noticed that all the security guards had actually been taken out. Yes, they had all been killed.

Considering that there was nothing that Jaden could do about it, he simply decided to ignore it. The three of them got inside a car, and nameless drove it.

Jaden was not really sure if the car really belonged to nameless. After all, the car that Jaden understood that nameless might be the owner of was parked in front of the hotel.

As for the reason why he was not really sure if this car really belonged to nameless, it was simply because it was not locked at all. So, they had easily gotten inside the car, and even the keys were there.

Jaden thought that there was a possibility that this guy had somehow managed to hack into the cameras, and noticed that there was someone that had not locked his car's door.

That might be the reason why he was so sure about it. Nonetheless, he simply stayed put, as nameless drove them out of the city.

Currently, nameless was the driver, while Jaden and the other guy that they had caught were both sitting on the passenger seats. In just a little while, they had already moved a distance away from the hotel. But, Jaden suddenly noticed something.
