The Bodyguard System

Within the capital city, at this moment, inside a luxurious mansion, there was a group of three people that was chatting and laughing with each other.

"What do you guys think? It has been quite a while since the rumors started circulating that the government is trying to force things. They have not yet started the experiment, but they will start it soon."

"Are you talking about the rumors about the government having the intention of creating mutants? I don't believe that they are going to do something like that, considering that that is completely reckless."

"Do you doubt the sources of my information? This is something that I acquired first hand, from a government official. I am clear that they want to go through with this, and it will be happening during the next week."

"Are you kidding me? Whom are they going to use? Don't tell me that they are going to kidnap the citizens that they are trying so much to protect, to use them for experiments, and try and break mutants out of them?"

"You are thinking too much. Those guys actually told the soldiers to volunteer themselves. And as you expect from those guys, many of them immediately agreed. And, the number of people that have decided to join this project is quite high."

"Then why are we not taking action? If they actually succeed, then they are going to completely uproot us from this country. Yes, we can go back to our own headquarters, but still, what about you? Your family will definitely be destroyed."

"Are you joking? You don't have to worry that much about it. Ever since those two scientists died, it is impossible for anyone to succeed. How many years have we already tried?

It has already been over 7 years since we started the project, and those two scientists died 6 years ago. I do believe that there is something that they hid from us, otherwise, it would have been impossible for all the genius scientists in the world not to discover the method of creating mutants."

"That is true. After all, we have already hired many scientists from all over the world, but none of them has ever succeeded. We have already studied the other mutants, which led to the death of several of them, but we have not discovered anything that could help us.

Yes, we found that there was something within their DNA that altered their genes. But the components of that fluid or whatever it is, is something that we cannot verify."

"You guys should not think much about it. In any case, since they have decided to use the military in order to do that experiment, then they are going to weaken themselves.

In fact, we can use distance and use another country to launch an attack on this nation. That way, it will immediately cause chaos. And if those mutants try to intervene, we will also intervene, and make sure that they stay put."

"That is a good idea. As long as this country is thrown into chaos, I don't believe that they are going to continue with their research. And according to the information that I got, it is clear that the success rate is going to be less than 1%.

With such a small rate of success, I do believe that all those soldiers that would agree to this experiment will die. And with that, the government will have suffered losses, and would not have gained anything."

A moment of silence descended after the last person spoke. These three people were actually some of those that were making the decisions within the three forces that were currently hunting Jaden.

One of them was in charge of the research, implying that he was from that organization that Jaden's parents had been working for. As for the other one, he was from the Raven mercenary group, while the final person was from the Smith family.

It was true that they did not hold the highest positions within their own forces, but currently, they were the ones that were in charge of this project. And so, they were the ones that were making the decisions regarding everything.

Of course, everything that they did was being monitored by the forces behind them, and in case they messed up, obviously, they might be removed from their positions and replaced by others.

After a long moment of silence, one of them finally spoke again. He was the one that represented the Smith family.

"I have been thinking so much about this. Do you believe that there is a possibility that those two scientists left a method of creating mutants with their son?"

The moment that this question was raised, the others were immediately stunned. But, they thought that there was actually a possibility of something like that happening.

At the same time, they immediately began thinking about Jaden. Of course, at first, they had monitored Jaden. But, they realized that there was nothing extraordinary about him.

Ever since his parents died, he had been living a life that was full of hardship. And, he did not show anything extra ordinary like those mutants. It was clear to them that at that time, there was nothing special about Jaden.

That was the reason why they decided to not pay attention to Jaden after observing him for a few years. It was only recently that they got the information that somehow, Jaden was no longer in the position that he was in before, but instead, he had already begun rising.

Of course, the information that they received was from one of the young masters of the Smith family that had gone to the same city that Jaden was in.

The moment that the information was revealed, investigation was immediately carried out, and they found out that Jaden was currently working as a bodyguard. And at first, they thought that he was just an ordinary bodyguard, with some ordinary strength.

But it was only several months later that they found out that the strength that had been demonstrated by Jaden was exceeding the expectations that they had. It was reaching the level of matching the strength of the mutants.

That was the reason why they had decided to send several mutants to deal with him. At that time, they thought that Jaden might come looking for them, trying to find a way of dealing with them as revenge for the death of his parents.

But, those mutants ended up dying instead. It was then that they decided to send yet another group of strong mutants, at least those that were stronger than those that had been sent first.

But those were also intercepted by mutants from the government. In the end, they were not capable of dealing with Jaden.

And when they received information that Jaden had entered into the central province, they immediately instructed several mutants that were close to immediately go ahead and deal with him. And, that was something that they were waiting, considering that it was on this specific day that they had instructed those mutants to go ahead and deal with him.

"That is a possibility. Maybe we should have kept that brat alive, so that we could question him. Why had we never thought of something like that all this while? I feel that it is completely strange, considering that we had never thought of something like that."

"That's right. It is only now that this is clicking in our minds. Do you think that there is a possibility that there is a mutant that played a game against us? After all, it is impossible for three of us not to think of something as crucial as this."

"Damn it! I have never anticipated that there is actually someone with guts of playing such a game against a person like me. If I find out who it is, I will make sure that I will skin them alive, and make them wish for death, but they will never get it."

"You guys, why are you all fuming like that? Instead of doing something like that, why don't you just instruct those guys that have going to deal with him to stop?

Instead of killing him, it is better if they can bring him here alive. With the methods that we have, it is not impossible for us to be able to acquire the information that we need from him."

"It has already been several hours since we instructed them to go and deal with that brat. I am afraid that they have already dealt with him. But let me give it a try."

As the last person, who represented the Raven mercenary group spoke, he took out his phone. At this point, there was a grave expression on his face, as he began scrolling through the contacts in his phone.

But before he could even find the contact that he was looking for, his phone began ringing. And coincidentally, it was from the person that he was just intending to contact.

"Hey, what is it?" Even though he wanted to instruct the other party to tell those mutants not to attack, since the other party had already made a call, it was clear that there was a possibility that the mission had already been completed.

Even though it was not what he wanted, there was nothing that he could change. After all, if Jaden had already died, they could not bring him back to life. So of course, they could only go with the flow.

It was just that the information that he received was completely against his wildest imaginations.

"Boss, all the mutants have been killed, except one, the one that was in charge of dealing with the information."
