The Bodyguard System

"Nothing much will happen. You will just experience a few changes in terms of your internal body temperatures, but nothing that is going to be negative." Jaden responded.

Scott thought for a moment before he decided to crush one of the crystal balls. Since they were given to him by Jaden, it was clear that Jaden did not have any ideas against him.

Otherwise, from the power that has been exhibited by him until now, if he really wanted him dead, Scott would have already died by now. Additionally, they did not have any form of enmity between them, but instead, they could be considered as relatively close to each other.

With Jaden still calling him grandfather, despite him not being his actual grandfather, it was a clear indication that Jaden still valued the relationship between the two of them.

The moment that Scott crushed the crystal ball, an extremely dazzling light erupted, completely enveloping his body. It was to the extent that even Jaden who was observing from the side could not see Scott's figure.

Even though Jaden had already acquired abilities from the system, this was the first time that he was observing this scenario. After all, the moment that he made a purchase of an ability from the store, the ability will be immediately integrated into his body.

This was of course completely different from the Awakening pill that he had taken in order to be able to acquire the initial telekinesis ability. At that time, it was the pill that had awakened the ability within him, and he had not purchased the ability from the store.

The dazzling light continued enveloping Scott for a few more minutes, before it finally dissipated. Scott was revealed, but nothing about him seemed to have changed.

And just as Jaden was trying to see if there was any change that had happened to Scott, Scott's body suddenly transformed. His skin gained a metallic sheen, indicating that the crystal ball that he had crushed to possessed the ability that allowed him to be able to transform into steel.

Feeling the strength that he was currently possessing, completely different from before, Scott could not help but get elated. He was an old man after all. So, his physical abilities had already begun depreciating.

Even though he possessed an ability, and he was a mutant, that did not change the fact that he was an old man. After all, the ability that he possessed was not something that altered his physical body, completely different from the one that he had right now.

At this point, Scott finally understood the power that Jaden possessed. If Jaden could go ahead and create so many people with such abilities, how powerful was he going to be?

But he was slightly confused. If Jaden ended up giving such power to random people, and they ended up being enemies with him, would he not have shot himself on the foot?

Regardless of what he was thinking, he understood that Jaden definitely had to have reasons of his own as to why he was going to do something like that. So, he decided to deactivate the ability that had transformed his entire body into steel.

It was just that after he had deactivated the ability, he felt that his body was slightly different. And when he looked at Jaden, he realized that Jaden was gazing at him, surprise clear on his face.

"What is it? Has something happened to me?" Scott asked, though he was not worried. After all, on Jaden's face, he could only see surprise, but nothing more than that.

"It seems that you are lucky this time. You are getting younger. Now, in the near future, I'm going to doubt if I'm going to call you grandpa or father." Jaden stated with a slight smile on his face.

The reason why he had said that was simply because at the moment, Scott had actually become younger. Maybe this was the effect on the new ability that he had gained, or maybe the power that he had gained after gaining the ability had made him become a little younger?

But at this point, it was clear that Scott's lifespan had been increased by a considerable margin. After all, he's here had finally regained its original color from the previous gray.

Additionally, the wrinkles that were on his face had also disappeared, and he now looked like a middle aged man rather than an old man.

At first, Scott did not understand what Jaden was trying to imply. But he subconsciously touched his face, and it was then that he realized that he could not feel the wrinkles that were on his face.

Additionally, the energy that was in his body was completely different from before he had gained the ability. And, now, it was pretty clear to him that what Jaden had said was actually true.

But it was difficult for him to be able to believe without seeing. And so, using his ability, Jaden teleported the mirror that was in the washroom, and it appeared in front of Scott.

Despite being slightly surprised, Scott was shocked in the next moment. At this point, he could see his appearance in the mirror.

It took quite a while for Scott to be able to believe that he had actually become younger. But even then, he was so excited. After all, what was something that all the elderly people were afraid of?

That was death, and with the end of their lifespan, they understood that death was approaching them. That was the reason why many people were out there, seeking ways of gaining immortality, or maybe extending their lifespan.

And realizing that maybe he could live a few more years, Scott was obviously excited. Even though he did not have his family here anymore, but that did not matter. In any case, it was good enough as long as he could live a few more years.

Additionally, with the ability that he had gotten, together with the other crystal ball in his hand, he believed that he would be able to survive the period that Jaden had talked about. Maybe he could see something that he was never supposed to.

Despite all the excitement that he was having, he finally managed to calm himself down. Then without hesitation, he immediately crushed the other crystal ball that he was holding.

The moment that the crystal ball was crushed, the dazzling light appeared once again, completely enveloping his figure. And with that, a few minutes later, Scott finally gained yet another ability.

To try out the ability, Scott went ahead and teleported a few times. And after getting used to get, he felt that the strength of the ability that he had at the moment was extremely strong. At least, he believed that it was stronger than any of the mutants that he had seen before.

Of course, he had not really tried out the first ability that had gained. Otherwise, he would have realized that just like the space manipulation of ability, the ability that allowed him to turn into steel was also extremely strong.

"I still have something else to deal with, so I will leave you to adapt to those new abilities." Jaden stated. Then in the next moment of his figure vanished.

And this time, considering that Scott possessed space manipulation ability as well, he was able to detect the changes that had happened in the surrounding space the moment that Jaden disappeared.

But he felt that he would definitely not be able to teleport us fast as Jaden was, which implied that Jaden's ability was way above his own. Despite knowing that, Scott did not feel disgruntled at all. Enjoy more content from empire

Instead, he felt that it was well deserved. After all, he himself was not supposed to gain another ability, yet Jaden had gone ahead and granted him two abilities that would be able to increase his own safety.

…

A few moments later, Jaden appeared above the Smith Manor once again. It was just that this time, the entire manor was chaotic, with many mutants running about.

It was just that the number of mutants that could be found here was obviously not as many as those that he had eliminated at the headquarters of the Raven mercenary group within this nation.

Looking at this group of mutants that was loitering around the entire manor and the surrounding area, it was the clear that they were trying to look for the culprit. The information about the death of several mutants together with the young master of the Smith family was obviously not going to be concealed for long.

And with the cameras present, together with the commotion that had been caused with the spear as it killed the two mutants, the entire Manor had already been alerted.

Jaden was not willing to waste any more time and immediately used his telekinesis ability. While the ability was enveloping the people around, he also used the other ability that was part of the space manipulation to perceive the entire manor.

But after a moment, when he realized that there was nothing that he needed to pay attention to, he simply crushed all the people that have been enveloped by his telekinesis ability, not giving them any chance of resisting.

At this point, other than the children, and the servants, all the higher ranking members of the Smith family had been killed together with the mutants.

After eliminating the Smith family, Jaden went ahead and eliminated the main headquarters of the Raven mercenary group. It was only after the headquarters were destroyed that Jaden finally felt that his parents had been avenged.
