The Bodyguard System

It was already one week ever since that day that he had been attacked. After getting what he wanted from the other party, Jaden did not leave him alive.

Since the other party wanted him dead, obviously, Jaden would have reciprocate. So, he killed him, and left his body in the forest. He believed that he would be attacked soon again, but there was nothing that he could do to change that.

The only thing that he could do was to prepare himself to face the enemy when they came to attack. So, Jaden decided that he would have to try as much as possible to find any loopholes that could be used in order for him to get many more rewards from the system.

At the same time, he was wondering, ever since the day that he had assigned several people to work as bodyguards, he had never received any reward from the system.

That was something that Jaden was not sure about. And so, he immediately asked the system about it, wondering if the reward system for that part, was completely different from the one that after accomplishing a mission, he would receive a reward.

In response to this, the system simply responded with a single prompt.

[The settlement of the reward or loss for those that have been assigned by the bodyguard company under the host will be done at the end of the month.]

Jaden was relieved. At least, it was not as if the system had forgotten about this. Though, he was quite curious about what he was going to receive at the end of the month.

There was a chance that he might not receive anything, considering that it was not always that danger would appear. Sometimes, a bodyguard might just be there, without any form of danger appearing for an entire month or even two. In some scenarios, someone might even complete the contract without even having to save their client.

Ding!

Suddenly, there was a notification from his phone. When Jaden checked it, he realized that it was a message from John.

According to the message, John had said that the Eagle team was ready to set out for another mission. This time, they were not going to deal with the Bloodhound mercenary group, but instead, it was a different mercenary group.

This mercenary group was not big, not at the same level as the bloodhound mercenary group. But despite that, it was quite big, quite renowned. It was just that it did not have as much strength as the Bloodhound mercenary group, and rarely acted.

Even though they rarely acted, that was simply because they did not dare to act in the first tier cities. But somehow, for some reason, they had actually decided to take action within Rezi city.

Information had already been sent over by the intelligence department, informing them that there was a group of members of this mercenary group that were within this city, and were planning on assassinating a certain business person.

Jaden was surprised. It had already been 2 weeks ever since the last time that John had come out of the family residence. But now, it seemed that there was a mission that he had to take.

He was quite curious If they had already dealt with the traitor that was within the special unit. But that was not something that really concerned him.

As a matter of fact, Jaden really hoped that they had not dealt with the traitor. After all, that would expose John to more danger, which was something that was beneficial to Jaden. It was selfish, but still, what could he do? That was the only way that he could exploit the system and gain more rewards from it.

Jaden did not have anything to do at the moment. It was going to be the end of the year the following day, but Jaden did not have the intention of celebrating. What was he supposed to celebrate even?

Maybe celebrate that he had gotten the system during this year and changed his life? But his life had not really changed to that much, unless he had dealt with the hidden dangers.

They had already started taking action against him, which implied that if he continued staying the same way, there was a great possibility that he might be attacked soon, and might even end up dying.

Additionally, was he supposed to celebrate alone? He really did not have that many friends back during the time that his parents were alive. And ever since his parents had died, they had drifted apart long ago.

As for during the time that he had been surviving in the streets, at that time, he really did not have any true friend. It was just a colleague or two and so on, mainly acquaintances.

Jaden had already gotten used to it, not even bothering to celebrate. So, he did not feel any difference at all even though many people had already made their preparations in order to celebrate the following day.

He left his villa In his BMW 7 Series, heading straight towards the Robert residence. The moment that he got there, he found that John was already waiting for him at the entrance.

"It is good to see you. It has been quite a while." John commented after getting into the car.

"Yeah, it has been a while." Jaden responded.

"By the way, we have already found the traitor. It is quite unbelievable, but the traitor was actually a member of the higher ups of the special unit. I don't really know how they managed to convince that guy to join that mercenary group." John stated even without Jaden asking about it.

Jaden was also surprised. It was extremely difficult to find that a member of the special unit was actually a member of a mercenary group. And more than that, it was even a higher up of the special unit.

Just how powerful was the Bloodhound mercenary group that it was capable of getting someone into a special unit that was supposed to be dealing with mercenaries?

"It is good if it has already been dealt with." Jaden responded after a moment of silence.

John could not help but raise his brows slightly. Why did it feel like Jaden was slightly disappointed upon hearing the good news? Was he not supposed to be happy that something like this had occurred? After all, he would not have to be involved in danger, in order to save John, right?

"Where are we heading to?" Jaden did not give John a chance to contemplate, as he asked.

"Let's head towards the Eastern part of the city. We are going there to meet up with the rest of the members of the special unit. After that, we will depart towards the base of the mercenary group that has plans of attacking within this city." John responded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jaden did not say anything in response, but instead, he began driving towards the eastern part of the city. Along the way, John gave him directions, and a little while later, they finally arrived.

The two of them got out of the car, currently dressed in casual clothes. They entered into a restaurant. It was not a big restaurant, but it was quite good.

The moment that they got in, they headed straight towards one of the corners. There was a large round table that was there, and around that table, several people were already sitting around it.

Among the people that were present, was Oliver, the captain of the Eagle team. Other than him, another person that Jaden was slightly familiar with was Mouse, who was also present.

Each and every person present was wearing casual clothes. Of course, if they wore their uniform, together with bulletproof vests and so on, they would attract attention towards themselves.

"There you are. The two of you disappeared completely after that day. While the rest of us have been meeting from time to time, the two of you just decided to keep to yourselves, huh?" Oliver said as he looked at the two of them that had just arrived.

"You know my family. I don't really understand if they understand what my role is as a member of the special unit. They are so overprotective, that they did not allow me to leave the family residence unless the traitor had already been dealt with." John responded as he sat down, next to Oliver.

At the mention of the traitor, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Each and every one of them had obviously been shocked with the presence of a traitor within the special unit.

It was something that was completely unexpected. But it had really occurred, but at the same time, it was a good thing that it had already been dealt with. Otherwise, things would have get more complicated, especially if a traitor happened to be a member of this special unit team.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's just relax for a while, before going ahead to make arrangements. We will have to take action tonight. So of course, you will have to be prepared, as you understand, dealing with mercenaries is always risky." Oliver waved his hand as he said.

John did not comment, but instead, he looked at Jaden who was next to him. He had already investigated about Jaden during the past 2 weeks, but he had not found enough information, at least the information that satisfied him.

Despite the large amount of information that he had received, he felt that it was still lacking, as if the information about Jaden had been hidden or something like that.

"By the way, do you think that there is a probability of another traitor being within the special unit?" Mouse suddenly asked.
