The Bodyguard System

Chapter 398: Beyond Recognition



While Jaden was still hesitating on what to do, on the other hand, in the hotel where they had left, there was already a group of people that was currently in the underground parking.

They had already sealed the area, not allowing anyone to get to this place. But of course, in order to do that, they had no other choice but to collaborate with the police.

The police officers that held superior positions in the city already knew about mutants. That was something to be expected, considering that this was the central province after all.

With the collaboration of the police, they had immediately sealed the underground parking. The reason behind that being the fact that there was a group of security guards that had been killed.

They were not the only ones, considering that there were other bodies that were found in the underground parking as well. Not wanting to cause panic to the public, the mutants had no other choice but to make sure that nobody came to the underground parking.

The group of mutants from the government that had arrived here was 6 in total. They were all having gloomy expressions on their faces as they looked at the bodies on the ground.

Of course, they could easily differentiate between a normal human, and a mutant. Well, that was due to the aid of the equipment that they possessed.

In case they came into direct contact with the blood of a mutant, they would be able to easily tell that the owner of the blood was a mutant through the use of the equipment.

And considering that all the three bodies on the ground bled during the time of their death, they had easily figured out that they were mutants. And, considering that they had been attracted here by a fight between mutants, it was to be expected that they would find a mutant that was dead here.

"From what I can see, it seems that they are from the Raven mercenary group. That is the only mercenary group that possesses mutants, and can act so presumptuously within the central province." One of them suddenly commented.

The others also thought the same way, but none of them said anything. Instead, they all looked at the dead bodies with frowns on their faces. Yes, they had found dead bodies, and it was a good thing that these bodies were not for the mutants from the government.

It was a good thing considering that with the death of these three mutants, it would imply that the Raven mercenary group was losing power.

It was just that they understood that whoever it was that was involved in the killing of these mutants was definitely not from their side. Otherwise, they would have already acquired the information, even before the fight broke out.

They did not know if the mutant that was involved with this incident was a friend or an enemy. In any case, there was always a possibility that an enemy of your enemy is not your friend.

"Let's deal with these bodies first. It has already been several minutes since we arrived, nearly an hour. But, we have not managed to acquire any useful information about what really happened here.

We will need to take more time to investigate. But, it is better if we get these bodies out of here. Things will get a little more complicated if somehow, something happens, and it causes a commotion within the public." Someone suddenly said.

The others Immediately agreed. Then, they made arrangements for the bodies to be taken away. But still, they were cautious, just in case the mutants that were involved in the death of these mutants were around.

Finally, all the bodies were taken away. Of course, this operation was done covertly, to ensure that no disturbance was caused to the hotel and the city as a whole.

In any case, the moment that information leaked about the death of several people here, it was clear that it was going to spread within the city. That was the reason why those mutants had decided that they would deal with this issue with the hotel, and the family members of the employees that had died here.

But just as this group of mutants was about to go out, and spread around so that they could see if they could find the traces of any mutants, they suddenly got a notification form the equipment that they possessed.

Immediately, they all looked at the devices that they carried around with them. It was these devices that were used in order to detect the presence of mutants.

And at this moment, on the screen of the devices, it was indicating that there was a presence of a mutant that was using their ability outside the city.

"Damn it! It seems that they have already arrived outside the city. Let's go there as fast as possible." The leader of the group immediately instructed, and the group of mutants rushed out.

At the forefront, it was two mutants that possessed an ability that increased their speed. And so, they left the others behind.

The others were not that worried, has they immediately used the fastest speed in order to catch up. But of course, it was impossible for all of them to be able to reach outside the city as fast as possible.

And due to that, most of them immediately got inside cars, and the cars were driven towards outside the city. And, the cars that they were driving in were all modified, in such a way that they could move at an incredible speed.

But just about a minute later, the devices that they possessed immediately indicated that the mutant was no longer using their ability. This immediately made them a little anxious.

Still, they were a little confused. Why was it that they detected just a single mutant using their ability? If it was a fight between mutants, they were expecting that there was going to be several mutants using their ability at the same time.

Despite the questions that appeared in their minds, they all continued rushing towards the outskirts of the city. It was just that they understood that since the mutant was no longer using their ability, the possibility of them finding the mutant was extremely low.

In any case, mutants already understood that they could be tracked the moment that they used their ability. So, occasionally, they would only use their ability for a short while, before moving away from where they had used their ability.

Regardless, the group still went ahead and charged towards the direction that the devices indicated. And about half an hour later, the group that was using cars managed to get there.

Even though they were using modified cars, that did not imply that they could avoid the traffic that could be found within the city. So, from the center of the city towards the outskirts, that was something that had consumed the most time.

As for those that possessed the speed ability, they had already arrived there earlier on. As for being detected while going through the city, they were not afraid at all. In any case, they had been moving on the roof of buildings, and at a fast pace.

As for the cameras, they were dealt with by the one with an ability of dealing with the cameras, hiding the presence of the mutants from the public.

Those guys had arrived outside, at the exact location pointed by the device just a few minutes after they had left the hotel. And when the others arrived, they took them to the exact location of the incident.

When this group arrived, they found that there was a car that was squished to an unrecognizable shape. Nobody could tell that that ball of metal was a car, if they did not see some of the car parts, though just very tiny…

At this moment, everyone's expression became complicated. Of course, they could see traces of blood from the car. And they could tell that definitely, someone had been squashed within the car.

"The person that was squashed inside that car was a mutant. It seems that this person did not have an ability that is related to combat. Otherwise, I do doubt that they would have been squashed inside the car." One of those that possessed a speed ability spoke.

The moment that they arrived here, they had already used a device that was capable of detecting the mutation within the blood of a mutant, and realized that this was the blood of a mutant.

"Just from the fact that they were capable of destroying this car, and compressing it to such an extent, it is clear that the level of the ability of the mutant that was here is not low.

Additionally, there is a great possibility that this mutant that was killed here had been escaping from the hotel. But he was pursued, and killed here. This implies that the mutant that had attacked here was the very same mutant that had killed those three mutants within the hotel underground parking." The leader of the group stated as he observed the situation.

"I want all of you to be cautious. It was just that this time, we were held up in a meeting with the higher ups about the project that is supposed to be carried out soon. Otherwise, we would have been able to know who it was that was killing these mutants. Let's just hope that this is a good thing." The leader continued.

A little while later, after they were done with all the investigation that they could carry out at the scene, this ball of metal was carried away, and taken to a scrap yard. In any case, it was not as if they could use the destroyed car to carry out any other investigation.
