The Bodyguard System

Jaden decided not to think much about this matter for the time being. In any case, currently, what he needed to deal with was obviously those forces that wanted to claim his life.

It really did not matter the reason why this group of mutants came after him, but in any case, they still wanted his life. And since that was the case, he would have to destroy them.

Of course, just destroying this small group of mercenaries was not enough. He would have to destroy even the source, which implied that he would have to deal with that entire mercenary group.

It was not just for this, but it was also to avenge his parents. At the end of it all, the grudge between them was not something that could be resolved easily. And at this point, Jaden had already decided that he would go on out in order to take out those two forces.

Thinking in that manner, Jaden looked at the guy in front of him and asked, "What important information can you reveal to me?"

At this point, Jaden obviously understood that there was definitely a mechanism that was used in order to prevent this day from speaking. If it was before he knew about the existence of the mutants, he would have not thought like that.

But it was completely different at this point. Since he already knew about the existence of mutants, and someone like nameless who was capable of hiding his information, it was clear that there was a possibility of an ability that was capable of killing someone and preventing them from revealing important information.

The guy was also slightly surprised with the question. He had anticipated that Jaden was going to ask him questions about the mercenary group, including the information about the leaders of the group.

And at that time, he was already prepared that he was going to refuse. Even if he did not have the combat capability, he would just have to try and find a method of escaping.

But if he could not escape, then that implied that he was going to die. In any case, if he really answered the questions, he was going to die anyway. It was better for him to die while trying.

"The most important information that I can reveal to you is the fact that the headquarters of our mercenary group within this country is located within this central province.

I cannot tell you about the exact city that the headquarters is located, considering that even the government does not possess that information.

On the other hand, I can reveal to you something that can be considered important, to you at least. I will tell you, in the entire mercenary group, even though the group that came after you is considered strong, it is actually not strong enough.

There are other strong groups that are way stronger than we are. Those are the mutants that we always look up to. And then, there are those mutants that are not even grouped. Instead, they take action personally, and don't form any mercenary groups.

For those that can act solo, the strength that they possess is way beyond your imagination. And I can tell you one thing, even if we failed this time, you have to know that they will come looking for you.

It doesn't matter If I am alive or dead, but it is all the same, they will be coming for your head. Since you have already been targeted, and the mutants have already begun being involved, as long as the information is revealed that two groups have already failed, the reputation of the mercenary group is going to be at stake.

At that time, there is a possibility that there is going to be an upgrade, in such a way that one of those mercenaries that act solo will be the one that will be coming for you, in order to deal with you once and for all." The guy revealed all this information before he stopped talking.

Jaden had already anticipated some of the information that he had received. After all, he had received this piece of information from that group of mercenaries that had given that Scarlet.

It was just that Jaden was feeling a little puzzled. Yes, he believed that he himself was currently strong, considering that he could easily take care of that group of mercenaries that had come after him.

It was just that he had never anticipated that even this small group of mercenaries was considered as cannon fodder. Since that was the case, it implied that there was a group of mutants that was way stronger than this one.

It was just that Jaden did not understand. If it was true that this group was not capable of producing mutants, then how was it possible that they were capable of possessing stronger mutants? Continue your journey on empire

It just did not make any sense to Jaden. Additionally, just how many people had his parents used during the time that they were alive? Just how many people had been injected by the solution of the stone?

After all, so far, he had met with almost 10 mutants from the mercenary side, and had met with four from the government side. And then, there was nameless, and Scott.

And considering that according to nameless, he had acquired the assistance of other mutants in order to create the laboratory the way that it was, at least, to make it sink into the ground.

And during the time that they were in the underground parking of the hotel, nameless had informed him that several mutants from the government were already rushing over.

Jaden did not know the probability of those mutants being the same that he had met with during the time that he was coming to the central province. But nonetheless, it was clear that the number of mutants was extremely high.

And according to his parents, they had not yet found out the exact method of making sure that the success rate was at 100%. And, it was clear that the success rate was extremely low, otherwise, they would not have hesitated to hand over the results of the research to the government, especially when the soldiers were involved.

After all, it was due to the fact that several people within the government wanted to start using that solution, to create many more mutants. But considering that the death rate was extremely high, his parents immediately disagreed.

Since the success rate was extremely low, then how was it possible that there was such a high number of mutants? And, why was it that there was power level of the mutants, in such a way that there were some mutants that were strong, and others were weak?

Of course, he understood that there was a possibility that someone possessed an ability that was inferior to another person, leading to them being weaker. But still, comparing the guy that he had attacked first, to the guy that was capable of transforming into steel, he felt that that steel guy was weak.

If not for the fact that his defense was higher due to him turning into steel, he would have obviously been easily killed by Jaden as compared to the way that he had dealt with the other guy.

After thinking about all that, Jaden looked at the guy that was currently silent in front of him. He thought for a while, before finally asking, "Do you know any information about scientists and the project that your force is currently coming out?"

The guy looked at Jaden with confusion clear in his eyes as he asked, "What scientists? There are a lot of scientists…"

Pfuuu!

The guy was forced to stop mid sentence as he suddenly coughed out blood. And the amount of blood was not small at all. Then in the next moment, after coughing a little while, he died.

Jaden had already anticipated something like this, but it was just that he had not anticipated that this guy was going to die like that. Looking at the body that was next to him, Jaden did not know what to do.

It would have been better if he had actually asked for the location of this mercenary group. And, if possible, he would have asked to know how they increased their strength. It was just that it was impossible for him to ask this guy right now, considering that the guy was already dead.

Without hesitation, Jaden opened the door of the car, before pushing the body out. Then, nameless wordlessly began driving back towards the city.

But before reaching the city, he simply stopped and got out of the car, confusing Jaden. Still, he followed nameless, and got out of the car, while looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"You have to destroy that car. We cannot allow this car to be found. After all, they will be able to trace the information about the two of us, and they will know that we are involved with the mutants.

Even though it is true that after questioning, they will find out that we were the ones that were being attacked by those mutants, it will still be a little complicated to explain, considering that both of us are not registered.

And since we are not registered, you already know the consequence of using our abilities. So, we have to clear the evidence first." Nameless explained.

Jaden immediately nodded in understanding. Then, he looked towards the car, before hesitating. Currently, they were on a road that was rarely used. So, the number of cars that was passing on this road was small.

And currently, Jaden was hesitating, if he was supposed to use his ability in order to destroy this car, or just use his physical strength.
