Chapter 406: Invitation and Rejection
The door was violently swung open. It was clear that the person on the other end of the door had not noticed that Jaden had already arrived at the door. Discover exclusive content at empire
The moment that the door was opened, I figure suddenly entered into the suite, looking around as if looking for someone. But this person immediately froze when he realized that there was a figure that was looking back at them.
Jaden looked at the young man that was standing in front of him with a calm expression on his face. He did not take any action, just observing the other party, wondering what it was that they wanted to do.
He was not really sure about the origin of this guy, so, he just waited. If it was someone from the Raven mercenary group, he was of course going to take action and eliminate them right here and right now.
Looking at the calm expression on Jaden's face, the young man could not help but start looking around. It was clear that he was not believing the fact that even after he had entered into this place in such a way, the other party would be extremely calm.
At the same time, it was clear that Jaden had already been anticipating him, and that was the reason why he was standing there, next to the door, looking at him.
"What do you want?" Jaden asked after a long moment of silence. It felt that this guy was not going to talk at all, and they might just continue standing there, staring at each other. And Jaden did not have that much time to do such a thing.
It was as If Jaden's question had suddenly brought back this guy to his senses. So, he immediately cleared his throat by a slight cough. Then he said, "I'm here, looking for you. No, I'm not the one that is looking for you, it is just that I was sent over to look for you."
Jaden did not say anything, and just continued looking at the other party. He was sent over? Then who had sent him over? That was the question that this guy had to answer, even if Jaden did not ask.
Upon noticing Jaden's gaze that was still lingering on him, the young man continued, "You already know the reason why I came to look for you. You are a mutant, and you have not been registered at all.
The Issue concerning mutants is supposed to be kept as a secret for the time being, unless the government has successfully achieved something in the research that is still going on.
It Is due to that reason that all the mutants are supposed to be registered, in order to ensure that they do not go around causing chaos.
We have already acquired enough evidence to point out clearly that you are a mutant. And that is the reason why I was sent to come over looking for you. You have to come with me so that you can meet with my superiors, and you can be registered as a mutant.
But you can also choose to disagree. But if you do that, you will be completely forbidden from using your abilities. Anytime that you would dare to use the abilities, even if it is as a form of self protection, you will be killed on the spot."
Upon hearing the young man's words, Jaden finally relaxed slightly. Yes, currently, with his abilities, of course he was not afraid of either the government, or the Raven mercenary group.
But it was a good thing that it was not someone from the raven mercenary group. In any case, if it was someone from the Raven mercenary group, Jaden would be forced to start fighting here.
Personally, he did not mind having a fight at any time. But the location was obviously not good, considering that there was a large number of people that were present within this hotel building.
And of course, the main person, the main focus and reason was none other than John who was also within this building. If this building ended up collapsing, and John ended up dying, there was a great risk of Jaden losing the system.
"What do you think? Are you going to go with me, or are you going to stay the way you are, but be forbidden from using your abilities? Let me tell you, even if you are registered by the government, that does not imply that the government is going to control you.
It Is just that you will have to follow some guidelines, which will imply that you will not be recklessly using your abilities. You have to use your abilities in a justifiable situation, and you cannot use your abilities in order to cause chaos within the nation.
Well, you can cause chaos outside the nation, as that is not really a problem. But you just have to make sure that you don't attack other mutants that are registered with the government, and can only attack those that have not.
In case of a conflict between two sides that have both registered with the government, the government will obviously be involved, and a solution will be found for the problem." The young man explained further.
Jaden immediately shook his head up on hearing that. Currently, he was not willing to be bound at all. He was already thinking of dealing with different civilizations, which implied that he was planning on dealing with enemies outside this world.
So, how was he going to be bound by a small nation like this? It was obviously impossible. Not to mention this nation, even if the entire world banded together in order to stop him, he was obviously not going to accept such restriction.
Who created the restrictions? It was clear that it was just a person with some ability that had created the restrictions. Yes, they had been created in order to ensure that there was going to be stability within the nation.
But obviously, they had other reasons as well. As for whatever those reasons were, Jaden did not even bother to think about them.
Upon noticing that Jaden was shaking his head, the young man could not help but look at him with an incredulous gaze.
After a moment, he asked, "I reach you about this? You have to know, you never know what situation you are going to encounter. And in a situation where you encounter something that would require you to use your abilities, you cannot use them.
After all, the moment that you use your abilities, you will be detected. And those that will find you will definitely execute you. It really doesn't matter the situation that you are in."
"I've already made up my mind. And, I'm not planning on changing that at all. Additionally, I would like you to pass some information to your superior." Jaden responded calmly.
The young man looked at Jaden with an expression of pity. But nevertheless, he asked, "What is it that you would like me to tell my superior?"
"Tell them to prepare. Tell them that they should get ready because some changes are going to happen all over the world. As for that project that they are currently working on, they should just halt it completely. It is completely unnecessary." Jaden stated.
Of course, he had already revealed the plan that he was having in a round-about way. Well, someone could not tell what the plan was exactly, but still, they could tell that something was definitely going to happen.
They might not be able to know what exactly was going to happen, but considering the way that Jaden had framed this, it was clear that whatever was coming was not something that was going to be extremely beneficial to them.
Well, at least not in the short term. In the long term, it was definitely going to be beneficial to the entire world. But that was something that was going to take quite a while, after the commotion that was going to rise up later on.
"What are you trying to say? Why can't you just be straightforward?" The young man asked with a puzzled expression on his face. He did not understand why Jaden was trying to say something, but not saying it.
"Just say the exact words that I have said. Don't worry about anything else. Everything will happen in due time." Jaden simply shook his head as he said those words in response.
The young man continued staring at Jaden for quite a while, and after realizing that Jaden did not have any intention of saying anything else, he simply shook his head as he walked out of the suite.
Jaden on the other hand simply closed the door, and started heading back to the bedroom. He still wanted to continue improving his strength with the amount of money that he currently possessed.
But he had just taken a few steps when suddenly, he noticed that something was strange. For some reason, for the past minute or so, it was extremely silent.
And just a second ago, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Those footsteps were completely organized, indicating that those that were approached were all trained. In that situation, it implied that it was either a special force, or the military.
Jaden was not really sure this time if the sound of footsteps approaching was headed towards him, or towards another suite. But regardless, he was obviously unhappy. After all, he had been interrupted yet again.
And just as he was wondering where those footsteps were heading to, he finally heard into the conversation of the other party.
"The suspect is in the suite next door. All of you be prepared. Don't allow them to escape." A masculine voice stated.
