The Bodyguard System

There was a moment of silence that lasted for a few seconds, before the lady continued, "Now, there is something that I would like to reveal to you. So, pay attention, and make a decision after hearing what I have to say."

The lady that was being displayed on the screen was none other than Jaden's mother. She was known as Patricia Keith, a very known expert within the human research department.

She met up with Jaden's father, Ken Moore. Ken was also in the research department, dealing with anatomy. Of course, it was not anatomy as a whole, but instead, it dealt with genetics. That was the same thing that Patricia was pursuing.

Ken had joined the company that they were working in about 2 years before Patricia. The two of them got along quite well, and in the end, the relationship between the two of them grew to the extent that they got married, and even got one child, Jaden.

Even though they were always busy, they would find time to pay a visit to Jaden, and on the day that they died, Friday that April 2020, they were going to visit Jaden. But in the end, an accident occurred, and they died.

Leaving all of that aside, Jaden understood that there was a project that the two of them were dealing with in the company. It was just that he did not know the details, considering that he did not even bother to know about it, at his age.

At that time, anything related to genetics was too much for him to handle. He did not like biology that much so, whenever his parents talked about what they were doing, what it was that they were researching on, he never took anything into mind at all.

He would listen to the biological terms, and a few minutes later, he would have already forgotten them.

The relationship between Jaden and his parents was extremely good. Despite the two of them always being busy, they would always find a time so that they could go out with Jaden. That was how he had managed to go to the People's Choice mall.

But of course, the accident that they encountered that led to their death was something that tormented Jaden for many years. He had tried as much as possible to forget about it, but he just could not do it.

It was like a broken record, always being played within his mind, reminded of the fact that his parents had died during the time that they were going to pay him a visit at school. But there was nothing that he could do about it.

There was yet another long moment of silence. And about 2 minutes later, the lady finally began speaking again.

"I know that you don't like the biological terms that we usually talk about almost every time that we come back home. But I'm sorry dear, this time, you will have to pay attention.

There was a project that we were dealing with. It is a project related to genetics. The development of the human race in genetics is not that high. Of course, it can be said to be quite high, but still, for a person like me, it was not high enough.

Your father and I decided to start running the project, but the company that we were working for did not support us. In the end, we had no choice but to use our own money in order to fund the research.

As you can expect, research is something that consumes money as hell. So, the only reason why we could not reach a higher level in the social ladder is simply because we were using the majority of the income that we earned over the years for the research.

We did the research for more than 10 years, but the results were not satisfying. But during the 11th year, we finally began producing results. But they were quite subpar.

At that time, the funds that we were having were not enough to be able to continue supporting us. Left with no other choice, we decided to sell several of the projects that we were in charge of, and several results of the research that we had done, in order to be able to get enough money to be able to continue the research.

The research that we were doing, even though we were trying to make it confidential, it was not enough. The company that we were working for already knew about it, considering that we proposed the idea, it was just that they did not support it.

We had managed to purchase our own lab, but it did not possess enough equipment to fully support the research. So from time to time, we would have to use the company's facilities and equipment, in order to be able to carry out relevant tests.

By the time that we had you, it had already been about 2 years when we had began the research. That implies that we carried out this research for more than 15 years.

It was during the 16th year that we finally achieved the results. It was just that the results were was not solid enough For us to carry out human tests.

But it was also at this time that the company that we were working for came looking for us. They wanted us to submit the results of the research to them. But we could not do that, as we had spent a lot of time, together with our own resources in order to be able to continue with the research.

I cannot refuse the fact that we used the facilities of the company in order to continue with the research, something that they possessed evidence of. But of course, we possessed the rights of using the facilities of the company, as it was stated within the employment contracts that we signed with the company.

But this group of people was extremely shameless that they did not care about anything, and wanted to get the results at a very cheap price. The money that they were offering was not even half of what we had used during the research process.

Additionally, according to them, they wanted to carry out human testing immediately after they got the results. That was against our principles, and we could not accept it, even if they offered us enough money.

In the end, the feud between us and the company escalated, and we were being targeted by the company. But that was not the end of it, as we were fired, and could no longer use the facilities of the company.

Still, it was not that much difficult for us to be able to continue with our own research, considering that the most difficult part of the research had already been dealt with. As for the equipment that was needed and we did not possess, we simply used the money that we were given by the company as a form of compensation for breaking the contract to purchase them.

It was during the 17th year that finally, we got good results, and we applied for human tests. As expected, things went well. Still, the results were not that good to become outstanding.

So, the company that was already paying attention to our movements finally stopped being much more aggressive than they had been before. Still, they continued paying attention to us, and what moves we were going to make next.

Then, during the 17th year, that was when something happened. Those people that we used for human tests began mutating. This was due to the mutation of their genes, the ones that we had targeted using the serum that we had managed to create from our research.

Those mutations immediately attracted the attention of the government. They immediately came over with the intention of taking over the project.

Since it was the government, we were not that resistant to them taking over the project, especially considering that they wanted us to continue doing the research.

We signed a contract to make sure that everything was going to be kept confidential. We were not supposed to reveal anything about this research for at least 5 years.

Well, I don't know if I am currently breaking the contract by revealing this matter to you, as it depends on how long it has been when you finally watched this video. But, I don't care. I'm already dead for sure, so, there is nothing that is going to affect me even if I break the contract.

After we were taken over by the government, the company that we were previously working for finally stopped targeting us completely. It was just that although the company was no longer targeting us, they spread information about what we were doing secretly.

In the end, we were targeted by somebody that we could not deal with. And the moment that I am recording this video, I already know that our end is coming soon. There is a collaboration between the one that is targeting us and a group of mercenaries.

These mercenaries are wanted by the government, and are always opposing the government. So, they would definitely not allow the government to succeed in this project. And since the two of us are the core of the project, as long as they deal with us, they will be able to deal with the project.

Haa! I'm sorry. I am a mother, other than being a scientist. It is just that your father and I put so much focus into our research, that we forgot that after we disappear, you would also be affected.

But there is nothing that we can do right now. It is impossible for us to be able to get rid of the bounty on our heads. As for the name of the mercenary group that is targeting us, it is known as Raven mercenary group. And I know that it is going to happen soon, so, allow me to say goodbye to you in advance, or maybe too late.

Goodbye my son. Your father and I are sorry that we cannot be with you any longer. But for your own safety, we have no choice but to leave you. Goodbye once again…"
