The Bodyguard System

There was a barrier that could actually block the AI? Of course Jaden understood that several barriers could be created by programmers in order to form a firewall as a form of protection of files and so on.

But so far, those firewalls had been nothing at all, when they were facing the AI. But this time, there was one of them that was capable of blocking the AI despite the capabilities that it had?

"Could it be that the firewall that you have encountered is more advanced than anything that you have experienced before?" Jaden asked in a concerned tone. After all, the AI had initially told him that it was at the highest level that could win this world.

{Master, this is not a firewall. If it had been a firewall, I would have already managed to breach it by now. But this one is different. It is as if there is something that is blocking my path, but it is not a firewall. This is not something that has been created by codes, but it seems that it is something that is not supposed to be scientifically possible.}

With the AI responding like that, Jaden fell into a moment of contemplation. What could have gone wrong? Could it be that the Smith family was not as he had thought it to be?

Maybe it was a family that was way more than what it had shown. Perhaps it had somehow managed to acquire some high level technology in order to be able to protect the sensitive information about themselves?

That was a possibility. Maybe they had somehow managed to acquire something that was out of this world, and that was what they were using in order to be able to block the AI from accessing the information that it wanted to.

But thinking about it, it was extremely difficult for something like that to be possible. After all, the AI had said that it was something that was supposed to be scientifically impossible. If that was the case, then what could it be?

Suddenly, Jaden had another thought. Could it be that there was a mutant that possessed a capability of blocking the AI from accessing the information? That was a possibility. The presence of Scott, and the fact that Ben Raymond knew about mutants, it was clear that this was something that those big families would obviously know about.

Jaden did not know the origin of the mutants, but he believed that they might be related to his parents in one way or the other. He did not know the kinds of capabilities that the mutants would have, but Scott possessed an ability, something that enabled him to be able to kill without touching anyone.

Even though he was not sure if Scott was a mutant, there was a great possibility that he was a mutant. And, considering his strength, Ben Raymond had somehow mistaken him for a mutant. Experience more content on empire

And considering how actively the Smith family had been looking for information about him, while trying to find something from him, it seemed that they might actually have been looking for information about the mutants.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Or could it be that they thought that Jaden was also a mutant, and for that reason, they wanted to acquire something from him? Maybe there was something that could be acquired from the mutants?

Many thoughts suddenly whirled inside Jaden's mind, as he considered different kinds of possibilities. At this moment, nothing was considered impossible, considering that some things that did not make sense would occasionally happen.

'It seems that I would have to take the other physique enhancing pill. I had initially planned to wait for a while, but it seems that it will be impossible for me to continue waiting. It would have been better if I had taken the pill during the time that the system was still under the update.

Perhaps, now, I would not be thinking about taking the pill and the consequences that would come later on.' Jaden thought to himself.

Despite thinking like that, Jaden decided that he would have to find some time where he was free, in order to take the pill. Then, he would look for a method of trying to control his strength after an abrupt improvement due to the ingestion of the pill.

Deciding to cast the matter aside for the time being, Jaden decided to look at the information that had been provided by the AI. Even though it was not full information about the Smith family, at least, it would let him understand who was the enemy that he was facing.

According to the information that had been provided by the AI, the Smith family was a family that came from the central province of this nation, Nazu.

The central province consisted of only five cities namely Mayo, Zuta, Abol, Mosa and Ruta. These five cities were situated in such a way that one of them was located between the four.

Abol city was the city that was located in between the other four, and it was the capital city of the nation. And as expected of the central province of the country, all the five cities that were in the central province were all first tier cities.

They were at a level higher than the other first tier cities of the other provinces. And, the Smith family was actually a family from the capital city.

This was something that surprised Jaden. Since this was a family that came from the capital city, and it possessed incredible influence, it implied that this family was not going to be easy to deal with.

Other than the information that this family was from the capital city, there was a vague piece of information that indicated that this family was somehow related to a mercenary group.

In the information that had been provided, there was no proof that this Smith family was related to a mercenary group. But, there was a good possibility that it was related to a mercenary group, something that was obviously not appreciated within this nation.

The moment that Jaden found this piece of information, he immediately remembered about the Raven Mercenary group. According to the information that he had managed to receive about the Raven mercenary group, it was clear that there were other groups other than the small group that he had dealt with.

The one that he had dealt with was the most ordinary group of members of the mercenary group, but there was yet another group of people that was from that mercenary group, and they possessed much more capabilities.

And above them, there was another group, before finally managing to reach the leader of the group. Initially, Jaden thought that it was an exaggeration when the one that was providing the information said that the leader would not need to act.

Just the elite members of the Raven mercenary group were enough to be able to make sure that a mission was completed. And if the leader acted personally, then the leader would be able to take care of everything by themselves.

Now that Jaden understood that other than Scott, there were definitely other mutants, it seemed that the core members of the mercenary group might be mutants. And even the leader of this mercenary group might be a mutant as well.

But again, it was this mercenary group that was related to the death of his parents. And since the Smith family was somehow related to a mercenary group, Jaden tended to believe that it was the Raven mercenary group.

Back to the topic, according to the information, it seemed that the influence of the Smith family was quite big. And other than that, this family was also somehow divided, but the difference within the family was not that big.

That was all the information that had been provided by the AI after spending several minutes. Jaden was impressed by the way that the Smith family had managed to hide its information from the AI.

"Try looking for information about the Raven mercenary group." Jaden suddenly instructed after going through the information about the Smith family.

{I will do that immediately.} The AI replied, and Jaden felt that the AI seemed enthusiastic. Maybe it was because it wanted to redeem itself after failing to acquire the information about the Smith family?

As Jaden waited, a few seconds trickled by, and without even noticing it, it had already been a minute, but the AI had not given any response at all. Jaden did not say anything, and continued waiting, but he did not hear anything from the AI even after 5 minutes had already gone by.

"What is going on? Is it impossible again to access the information about the Raven mercenary group?" Jaden asked with raised brows.

{I'm sorry master. For some reason, I have encountered the same barrier as the one that blocked me from acquiring information about the Smith family. But it seems that this barrier is way more sturdier than the one that was used by the Smith family.} The AI responded.

This time, Jaden could clearly feel that from the voice of the AI, it was clearly disappointed. Jaden was not surprised that the AI could exhibit emotions, as that was something common by now.

It was just that this AI had been pretending to be mechanical until today, but this time, he could clearly tell that this voice was possessing emotions.

Jaden did not say anything about it, and decided to go through the information that had been gathered by the AI before it was blocked. It turned out that the information had that had been gathered was the same as the one that had been provided, even though it included some few details that had not been provided by the one who had been informing Jaden about the Raven mercenary group.

"Just what is going on here? What are the mysteries surrounding these two?" Jaden asked while looking towards the ceiling as he contemplated.
