The Bodyguard System

But that was just the imagination, and not the reality. Still, they could not help but be surprised by the speed that the man was moving at. None of them felt that they could follow his movement at all, and they only felt that this man\'s figure was blurring the moment that he started moving.

Several people immediately felt their backs being soaked in sweat. They could already imagine what would have happened if they had actually ended up facing this person. Just from the speed alone, it was clear that it was going to be impossible for them to be able to land a good punch on this guy.

As for Jaden, looking at the person who was rushing towards him, he was also amazed by the speed of the other party. But still, he felt that this speed was not that much higher than that of an ordinary person.

It might be slightly higher than even those that participated in the 100 m sprint race in athletics, but it was not something that he could not handle.

Thump!

A punch landed in the center of Jaden\'s right hand\'s palm. Just from the power that was used to launch that punch, the moment that it landed, the people around could easily hear the impact.

But Jaden did not budge at all, despite receiving the attack. Even his hand that had been used to hold the fist did not tremble at all.

The man who had attacked was surprised that something like that had happened. What was going on? How was it possible that his attack was looked down upon just like that? From the way that Jaden had dealt with that attack, it was clear that he did not take that attack seriously.

Crack!

But just as he was still trying to understand what was going on, Jaden suddenly made a move. His movements were extremely fast, in such a way that the man was not able to react at all.

By the time that he came back to his senses, the hand that was grabbed by Jaden had already been twisted, and the cracking sounds could be heard. The man immediately felt immense pain in his wrist area.

It was clear that the wrist joint had been injured. The bones at the wrist had been fractured, and his ulna and radius also felt the impact of the twist, and the pain also came from those two bones.

The man did not even have the chance of screaming, as he was immediately punched in the chest by Jaden. The moment that Jaden punched, he released the hand that he was holding, allowing the man to fly backwards towards Ben and the other man who were also left with wide eyes while staring at Jaden.

But the two of them had to react, especially the man in front. He took action, immediately trying to grab the body of the person that was launched towards them. But the moment that he held the body, he suddenly felt tremendous force coursing through his hands from the impact.

His feet slid across the floor due to the momentum of the body that he had caught in the air. Had he not been slightly stronger, he would have definitely fallen to the ground together with the man that was currently unconscious.

The man was about to put the one who had been taken care of down, in order to deal with Jaden, but when he raised his head, to look towards Jaden, he was surprised to notice that Jaden was in front of him already.

Before he could even react, Jaden attacked. His foot suddenly knocked the air out of the man\'s lungs as it landed on his chest, before sending him stumbling backwards together with the man who had yet to be placed on the ground.

With just two attacks, the two people were immediately knocked unconscious. Just like before, Jaden made sure not to kill any of them. The two of them were just unconscious, but they would definitely find it difficult to be able to live a normal life ever again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jaden did not feel sorry for them. After all, if he had not taken care of them, they would have done that to him instead. It might be true that they were just being instructed, but why did they have to accept something like that?

To make a living? That was a possibility, but this was definitely not the best way of earning a living, as it was full of dangers. Even if they had survived for a long time, perhaps today was the day that they were bound to meet the end of the career that they had been involved in for a long time.

Ben could feel his body trembling as he looked at the two people that were currently lying on the floor behind him. He did not dare to turn around and look at them fully, but instead, he simply twisted his neck, to look at the two that were currently lying on top of each other on the ground.

While still trembling, he turned to look at Jaden, not believing what he had seen. Just how strong was Jaden? He had used all the connections that he possessed, during the time that he was investigating who was involved with the death of his brother, and came to know about Jaden.

He already knew that Jaden possessed fighting skills of another level. Of course, he also knew about what Clifford knew, about the fact that Jaden was from \'that\' organization.

Even though he understood the risks that were involved with trying to attack Jaden, he did not care. To him, all that mattered was to take revenge for his brother. But now, it seemed that not even the organization was required to be involved. Just Jaden was enough.

"Are you a mutant?" Ben suddenly asked, something that shocked both Jaden and the people around. Everyone looked at Jaden, wondering about what Ben was talking about.

Jaden had shown his strength, but he did not show his speed at all. Well, even though he was using his speed, it was in such a clever way that it was almost impossible to be able to tell that he was extremely fast.

But there was one thing that Jaden could not hide. That was the fact that he was extremely strong. He was strong to the extent that he could be compared to those that held the record of being the strongest men in the world.

"What is a mutant?" Jaden asked back, even though he felt that he could understand what Ben was trying to imply by mentioning a mutant.

At the same time, someone\'s name suddenly appeared in his mind. Scott. Could it be that Scott was what Ben was referring to, a mutant? It was possible.

Upon hearing the question, and feeling that Jaden was sincerely curious, Ben could only shake his head. The information about mutants was not something that was supposed to be spread around. Otherwise, it was going to cause chaos.

Since it seemed that Jaden did not know about it, it seemed that he was just a little stronger than ordinary people. But, it was impossible for him to be a mutant. In any case, just by looking at his age, it was clear that it was impossible for him to be a mutant anyway, unless he was a second generation mutant.

But the possibility of something like that happening was extremely low, considering that Jaden\'s parents were scientists, and they were all ordinary, with nothing special about them. So, it was impossible for him to have gotten mutation abilities from them.

"Forget about it if you don\'t know what a mutant is. But believe me, this is not going to be the end. We are going to meet again, and believe me, the next time that we meet, will be the last day of your life." Ben suddenly said, before turning around, intending to leave.

But at this moment, Jaden suddenly spoke up. "And you believe that I\'m going to let you leave, after coming here with the intention of killing me? And, you are even openly threatening me, within my yard?"

Ben stopped, before looking at Jaden. He was no longer shaking as before, and he looked quite confident. He asked, "What do you think you can do to me? You think that you can kill me? Go ahead and try that. The moment that I end up dying here, you will also die within the next few hours.

Do you want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing those words, Jaden obviously wanted to respond that yeah, he wanted to give it a try. But considering that he could not kill inside his own building, he decided against saying anything like that.

"I won\'t comment." Jaden said as he looked at Ben meaningfully.

Ben felt that Jaden was trying to imply something from the way that he was looking at him, but he believed that there was nothing that Jaden was going to do to him. In any case, he had to kill Jaden, but Jaden could not kill him.

He had failed this time, but that would not be the case the next time that he would come looking for Jaden. The next time that he would come looking for Jaden, he would be prepared, and that would be the time that Jaden would leave this world forever.
