The Bodyguard System

"…So, make sure that you get out of this place as soon as possible. You don't want them to find you here, because you will be in deep trouble if they find you."

Jaden was totally confused now. What was the old man talking about? Who were those that were coming? He had a pile of questions in his mind, but he was not sure if he could be answered if he asked the old man.

After thinking for a while, he decided to ask. After all, there was no need for him to make assumptions, when he could get the answer immediately. So, he opened his mouth, ready to speak, when the old man continued speaking.

"Save those questions that you have for me. I cannot explain anything more than this. It is for your own good. It is said that ignorance is bliss. It is better that you don't know about these things, to ensure that you don't get worried for nothing. Find your adventure at m-vl-em,py-r

In any case, as long as you get out of this place on time, you will not have to care about what has happened here today. You can live your life the way that it was supposed to be.

As for these other matters, you will not have to be concerned so much about them. They started with me, and they will end with me here. So, when I leave, I will be leaving your life together with everything that I came with, something that might have troubled you later on."

Jaden was even more confused. It might be true that ignorance is bliss. After all, if he did not know about the dangers that existed in this world, he would not be worried. But right now, he already knew about them. It was impossible for him not to care about it.

According to him, it was better for him to get an understanding of what it was. After all, he did not know when he was going to deal with this matter. After all, it was impossible for him not to deal with it, considering that he believed that he was going to get stronger than how he currently was, with the assistance of the system.

At that time, it was going to be impossible for him not to encounter things like this. So, the earlier that he understood about this matter, the better it was for him. It was just that he could not tell the old man about it, considering that it was going to lead to the information about the system being revealed.

"Jaden, you should get going. For me, I will get another identity, and I will continue living a normal life. Though, I know that it is not going to last long. Still, I will try to enjoy as much as I can." Scott stated.

Jaden remained silent for a while. Finally, he asked, "The injury that you suffered back then. When those gangsters stabbed you, you were not going to die, right?"

When Jaden asked that question, the old man remained silent once again. He did not speak, as he turned to face outside the window again.

Finally, a few moments later, he spoke, "Actually, it might be true that I have this ability of mine, but it is not like my body is that strong. I can control things using my mind, but my body was not made so that it can ignore those injuries.

In fact, back then, I had decided that it was not bad to die. After all, to me, at that moment, I was dying the normal way. I did not use my ability, and decided to just go on with how it was, as at that time, I had not come to a realization about what I had done back then.

But then, just when I was about to leave this world, I suddenly noticed that you were coming. Of course, I could not exactly tell that it was you, it was just that I felt that it was you.

So, I immediately used my ability, and tried to prevent myself from dying. Of course, it was my lung that was damaged, so, I simply opened the lungs a little, making sure that I could continue breathing.

Of course, doing something like that was not easy. Still, I was able to hold on, and you took me to the hospital, which ended up with my life being saved.

And now, when I was kidnapped, I had already decided that I was going to use my ability. But of course, that was only if you proved me right. But if you had proved me wrong, we would have died here together." The old man responded calmly.

Jaden was surprised. He had not expected such a thing. He did not understand why the old man yearned so much to live an ordinary life. Well, he could not understand that, considering that he had been living a normal life all this while, until he got the system.

Still, despite not understanding why the old man was so insistent on living a normal life, he did not ask. Nonetheless, he felt the sincerity of the old man.

Finally, after a moment of silence, he spoke up. "Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I will keep this incident in my heart, and I will not forget your kindness. Believe me, in the future, if fate allows us to meet, I will definitely repay your kindness."

After saying that, Jaden turned around and left. He did not look back at all, and immediately walked towards the door. Since there were a lot of bodies at the door, Jaden had no choice but to jump left and right, in order to avoid stepping on blood.

Of course, currently, the entire corridor was filled with blood. The only way that he could get out of this place without stepping on blood was to step on those bodies. And that was what he did.

Jumping from one body to the other, he finally managed to get to the staircase. And the moment that he began moving down the staircase, it was then that he understood what the old man had said.

In this apartment block, the number of gangsters was quite high. But somehow, no matter which floor the group of gangsters was, they had actually been killed the same way. All of them had to collapse onto the ground, with blood still coming out of their bodies.

The bloody stench within the apartment block was suffocating. Still, Jaden was able to get out of the building. Finally, after he got out, he looked back at the apartment block, towards the top floor where the old man was.

'I surely will repay you in the future when I get the chance to do that. But until then, goodbye.' Jaden thought to himself. Then in the next moment, he used the grass in the small garden to wipe the blood that had managed to stick on his shoes, before he finally got back inside the car.

He was not worried that the police would come looking for him later on. After all, ever since he got here, he did not touch anything. So, it was impossible for his fingerprints to be found at the scene.

Additionally, since this place was quite close to the outskirts of the city, there were no cameras in this area. So, there was going to be no footage of him at all.

After he got inside the car, Jaden immediately drove it away. He understood that he had to get out of this place as soon as possible, and get as far as possible.

Even though he did not understand what the old man was talking about, about some people finding him, still, he had to take precautions, and get out of this place.

No matter what, since it was a group that the old man seemed to be quite afraid of, then, they must be people with abilities just like the old man. And right now, Jaden was not ready to entangle himself with those people.

With a heavy heart, he drove away, getting ready to deal with the police. After all, they were chasing him, and the moment that he went to an area that possessed traffic cameras, he would be noticed, and the chase would continue.

Scott on the other hand remained in the same place. He watched as Jaden drove away from the window of the apartment, before releasing a sigh.

"Well then, I guess this is the end of the normal life. It is time for me to go back to the life of running and hiding. Still, I think it was worth it for me to reveal my ability in front of him. At least, this time, I have used my ability not to take revenge, instead, I have used it to save somebody.

Even though every time that I did use my ability, I was saving people, I was indirectly doing it. But now, I have done it while knowing who it was that I was saving." Scott muttered in low voice.

Then in the next moment, he jumped out of the window. But instead of dropping at a high speed due to the influence of gravity, he somehow managed to float in the air, and landed softly on the ground.

A little while later, his figure disappeared into the distance. All that was left behind was the large number of dead bodies and the stink of blood that was continuously spreading in the surrounding areas.
