The Bodyguard System

Clifford was silent for a very long time after listening to the report that he had received from Steven. After a while, he finally spoke, "That was something that I had never expected at all."

"That's right. Nobody had ever expected that Jaden might actually be related to the incident that had led to this entire city being locked down. It seems that he might have offended someone with a big background this time." Steven responded.

Clifford did not respond, but instead, he seemed to be musing about something. Then, he suddenly asked, "I'm quite curious. Just how was it that Jaden ended up being involved with something like this? After all, I can understand that he might be involved with this group of people that had kidnapped Scarlet, and as a bodyguard, and being the fact that he was being targeted, he would kill them.

But, about this recent issue. All the clues point to the fact that the one who might be related to the death of this person might be Jaden. But, those are just clues, but there is no any evidence that proves this to be true."

"We are the ones that know Jaden the best. According to the information that we possess about Jaden, we all know that Jaden possesses tremendous capabilities.

A good example of such a thing is when Lucas Brown ended up dying on the same day that he had targeted Scarlet. And when the investigation was carried out, it turned out that it was not Jayden who had killed Lucas Brown, but instead, it was one of the people that Lucas Brown had hired in order to deal with Jaden.

That was something that did not make any sense, considering that even the colleagues of this group of people said that this person was not involved with the death of Lucas Brown. But in the end, all evidence pointed towards this same person, but there was nothing that claimed that Jaden was the killer.

You told me that you asked him about it, but he did not say that he was the killer. But nonetheless, we all know that he was the killer. After all, Scarlet claimed that the person that was said to be the killer, had left even before Lucas Brown died." Steven responded after a moment of thought.

Clifford nodded as he said, "That is true. I don't really know about those capabilities that Jaden possesses, yet he has not shown. That organization is definitely something.

The people coming from that organization all possess incredible capabilities, and this is the first time that I am encountering a person from that organization, that possesses tremendous capabilities as Jaden.

And, from the information that we managed to get, is clear that Jaden had only been in that organization for a very short time, but his capabilities tell us something completely different."

Steven remained silent, as he really did not know what to say in this situation. After all, they had managed to use the connections that they had, going to the extent of using the family influence back in the first tier city, to be able to get this piece of information.

And, considering that they understood what had really happened back during the time that Jaden was working as a bodyguard within the Johnson residence, they could be able to tell that Jaden might actually be related to the death of this person who had died recently, during the end of the previous month.

But even though they believed that Jaden might be involved in something like this, it was not as if they were intending to reveal it to the other party that was looking for Jaden. And, Jaden's capabilities were something that they could not explain.

"Do you perhaps think that Jaden might be a mutant?" Clifford suddenly asked something that completely shocked Steven.

Stay tuned to empire

Steven understood what mutants were. Those were the people with incredible capabilities that exceeded anything that a human could do. Those were the things that were being kept as a secret by the government, making sure that ordinary people would not be able to get information about it.

But of course, it was impossible for the Johnson family not to be able to know this piece of information. After all, it was somehow related to them, even if not directly, indirectly. Well, it was related to the main Johnson family that was back in Rezi city.

"I don't really know if Jaden is a mutant. But the possibility of something like that being true is quite high. After all, the abilities that he has demonstrated until now are way beyond what a person of his age can possess. And, there is even a possibility that his background is not as it is." Steven finally said after a long period of silence.

Steven had said that after thinking about everything that Jaden had done, or had shown. Jaden was only in his early twenties, but the combat capabilities, the driving skills, and even the piano skills that he had demonstrated were way beyond what a person of his age could possess.

Alexander was a good example of what a normal person should be like. He was a person who liked fighting, but despite training in the special forces for several years, his capabilities were nowhere near Jaden's.

After all, the report that had come out after the scene where Jaden had killed the mercenaries was investigated, indicated that it was extremely difficult, if not outrightly impossible for a single person to be able to eliminate that group of mercenaries.

Just from the weapons that they were carrying, it was clear that they were not ordinary mercenaries. But despite all that, Jaden had managed to kill all of them, yet he did not suffer any injury at all.

"Let's just forget about this matter for the time being. It is good enough that Jaden agreed to owe us a favor. Maybe sometime in the future, we might need that favor from him. So, it is better for us to maintain a good relationship with him.

We don't have to actively look for him, but it is good enough as long as we don't try to get in his bad side. That should be good enough." Clifford said with a resigned voice, not willing to think much about Jaden anymore.

"That's true. But master, what about Scarlet? She has been in a bad condition recently, especially after the previous time that she met with Jaden, only to know that he was the owner of Dazzling Entertainment." Steven nodded, before asking.

Clifford rubbed his temples, not sure what to do. Previously, he had already been hearing about the things that Scarlet had been doing while at school, whenever any boy tried to seduce her.

He was kind of worried that she might end up being single, and not getting married someday, due to her character. But in the end, she actually fell in love, but the problem was the fact that her target of love was not one who was willing to reciprocate the love that she had for him.

Additionally it was clear that Jaden was way beyond ordinary. So, it was extremely normal that he might not be interested in Scarlet, who was quite stubborn, and ordinary.

Of course, the thought of organizing some blind dates had already appeared in his mind several times, but Lynette would not allow something like that. After all, there was a great possibility that the blind dates would end up with Scarlet beating someone up, instead of her ending up together with someone.

The fact that Scarlet had fallen in love with something that he had not expected, but he welcomed it. The only problem was that she had fallen in love with Jaden, and Jaden did not seem to have any interest in being related to the Johnson family anymore, after he had left.

It might be true that the Johnson family here did not have much of a capability in order to be able to compete with Jaden, just from the wealth that he had demonstrated until this day.

And it might be true that the Johnson family that was located in Rezi city might have something of interest to Jaden, but as of what it could be, it was very difficult to tell.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And from the performance of the two companies that Clifford knew that Jaden owned, Nightstar Security company and Dazzling Entertainment, it was clear that the two companies would not be limited within the city. It was not impossible for them to be able to start competing with those companies that were owned by those big families that could be found within the first tier cities like Rezi city.

"Ha!" Clifford sighed. After a while, he said, "Let's temporarily forget about this matter, while hoping that Scarlet will forget about Jaden. It is impossible for them to be together.

Try to get her to be involved in something, something that might make her forget about Jaden for the time being. And, it would be better if she can find someone else whom she will fall in love with, so that she can stop thinking about Jaden all the time."

"Yes master. I will organize for that." Steven responded confidently, despite feeling a little troubled. After all, the thing that Scarlet liked the most was fighting, but nowadays, she was not even training at all.

If she was not doing something that she liked the most, then what was he supposed to find so that she could like? It was extremely difficult, but Steven was not willing to give up, and was willing to give it a try.

Clifford watched as Steven left, before muttering in a low voice, "Jaden, just what kind of secrets are you hiding? Just what is your real background?"
