The Bodyguard System

Apparently, the two of them were mutants with one being

capable of controlling metal, and the other one being capable of controlling

the earth. Well, at least, he could create spikes from the ground to attack the

enemy.

But Jaden was not affected at all by the attacks. The spikes

that were trying to imagine from the ground were immediately neutralized by his

telekinesis ability.

As for the metallic spear that was launched towards him,

Jaden simply deflected it, and it was sent back towards the sender.

The two of them were completely shocked. They had not

expected that someone this powerful was going to invade the Smith Manor.

But even before they could call out, the spear that had been

rebounded back immediately pierced through the mutant that was capable of

controlling metal. The moment that it emerged from the other side, it headed Read new chapters at empire

straight for the other mutant, as if it had consciousness of its own.

The guy did not have any other advantage other than the

capability of controlling the earth. Well, just a small part of it.

So, while completely panicked, he tried to create a wall out

of the ground, in order to block the attack. But his movements were not as fast

as the speed of the spear, as it immediately pierced through his skull, nailing

him onto the wall.

Jaden was completely emotionless at this moment. Not wanting

to engage with more mutants while being with Scott, he immediately used his

teleportation ability. With that, Scott only felt that his surroundings had a

blurred, and in the next moment, they appeared in a completely different place.

What was immensely shocked by this. Just how many abilities

did Jaden possess? But then, he thought about how Jaden had appeared inside the

cell that he was in. At that point, he understood. It seemed that Jaden had the

ability that allowed him to teleport.

But what about the other ability that he was using in order

to kill the enemies? That was obviously the telekinesis ability, and a powerful

one at that. Even though he was not really sure how far they were at the

moment, he believed that the teleportation ability was also strong.

Despite the many questions that he was having, he did not

ask. But instead, as he felt his surroundings blurring again, he suddenly found

himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar place.

This place looked like his room back in Faru city, but it

looked way more advanced. Could it be that Jaden had taken him to another

place, and thinking about him, he had actually built a house that was similar

to his own?

Just as he was thinking about that, Jaden spoke up. "Grandpa,

this is what I was telling you about. I demolished the entire building, and I

had it rebuilt. Now, you can stay here for the time being, before deciding on

what you are going to do."

Scott was completely shocked upon hearing that. From what

Jaden was saying, it was clear that they were currently in Faru city. But how

could they be that fast?

Or was it possible that Jaden's ability that allowed him to

teleport was that strong? After all, a few moments ago, they were within the

central province. But in just a matter of a few seconds, they had already

covered that long distance and arrived in Faru city?

Jaden decided to allow the old man to adapt to the changes

that had occurred. Yes, it was quite difficult for Scott to be able to

understand how Jaden have become a mutant. But Jaden was not willing to explain

that.

It was only a few minutes later that Scott finally let out a

helpless sigh. He understood that even if he wanted to understand, it would be

impossible for him to be able to.

Upon noticing that the old man was currently not thinking

much about the situation, Jaden decided to explain something else.

"In the next few days, some changes are going to happen

within this world. This world is going to be extremely chaotic, and people are

going to start fighting.

The mutants that are currently mainly focused within our

nation are going to appear worldwide. At that time, it would be the time for

the battle of survival, where strength is all that matters.

This is something that this world has to undergo, in order

for it to develop. So, be prepared grandpa. Just anybody outside there might

become a mutant, and you don't know what they might be thinking.

Maybe after becoming mutants, they would just go ahead and

start slaughtering people around them due to the power that they have. Or maybe

they can just get confused, and while trying to use their ability, and up

injuring or even killing people around them.

So, for the next few days, try as much as possible not to go

out. Though, there is an arrangement that I'm going to make for you." Jaden

explained.

Scott could not understand what Jaden was trying to imply.

Of course, it was not that he could not understand clearly, it was just that he

was confused that Jaden was the one that was saying these words.

Could it be that Jaden was planning on creating mutants all

over the world? But how was that possible? Additionally on my way would he even

do that?

Or was he going to use the method that he had used in order

to become a mutant, in order to create more mutants? Why decide to create

mutants all over the world, randomly, rather than just gathering a group of

people that could be trusted, and granting them the ability to become mutants?

Jaden did not care about how many questions Scott had, but

instead, he used his mind in order to access the store, and purchased two

abilities for Scott. They were all grade S abilities, and one of them was the

space manipulation, and the other one was steel body.

The reason why he decided to purchase these abilities was

simply because he wanted to ensure Scott's survival. For the space manipulation

ability, it would allow Scott to be able to move around freely.

As for the steel body, it was going to not only enhance his

defense, but his strength was also going to be magnified by quite a huge

magnitude. Even though his speed was going to be slow during the time that he

would be using the steel body, but even then, as long as he used the

teleportation ability, the disadvantage of slow speed would be completely

ignored.

In any case, Scott could use both the abilities at the same

time. So, he would be an extremely fast tanker.

After purchasing the abilities, Jaden obviously paid for the

abilities to be stored in something that could allow him to pass them to

another person. That was additional cost, but he could bear with it. After all,

grade S abilities were not that expensive, at least not as expensive as grade

SSS abilities.

"Here is something for you. This is going to boost your

strength." Jaden stated. And in the next moment, two crystal balls appeared in

his hand, shocking the old man yet again. But at this point, he had already

begun feeling numb from all the things that Jaden was showing.

"These two crystal balls contain two different abilities

that are going to enhance your strength. Just break the crystal balls, and you

will gain the abilities. But of course, you will need to break a single crystal

ball at a time, in order for you to integrate an ability in your body first,

before the other one." Jaden explained.

Scott's eyes could not help but widen in disbelief. In order

for him to be able to gain the ability that he currently possessed, he had to

undergo a very risky experiment.

In that experiment, there was a great possibility that he

was going to die. But still, considering his situation back then, he did not

hesitate, considering that while to healthy people, that was the same as death

sentence, to him, it was a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

But now, Jaden was simply giving him abilities? He did not

have to undergo some great risk in order to acquire the abilities? Was this the

same way that Jaden got his abilities? Wait, he was the one that was giving the

abilities, just what kind of fortune encounter did he get in order to be able

to gain the ability of giving others abilities?

Regardless of what he was thinking about, he still went

ahead and received the two crystal balls that were the size of an adult's fist.

He understood now. He could not refuse what Jaden was giving him.

Since Jaden had said that the world was going to be chaotic

in the next few days, then that was the truth. And, if mutants were going to

appear all over the world, there was a possibility that the people around him

would become mutants as well.

And considering that they were currently in Faru city, as

long as he could remember, this city, at least the eastern part of the city, it

was prone to crimes. Once those criminals got the abilities of a mutant, they

would definitely start running rampant, stealing from people and doing whatever

they liked.

At that time, if he did not have the strength and ability to

protect himself, he would definitely be killed. Yes, he was a mutant, but what

if another mutant with a stronger ability or one that was capable of

restraining his ability appeared?

"So, what am I supposed to expect the moment that I crush

one of these crystal balls?" Scott suddenly asked after looking at the crystal

balls for quite a while.
