The Bodyguard System

Jaden obviously did not doubt the words that the system had

said. Nonetheless, just looking at the stone that he was currently holding, he

felt that there was actually not that much difference.

There was not even a single change in terms of size or

weight of the stone. It was just as it was before the rebate card had been used

on it.

Now, Jaden was left in a little dilemma. What was he

supposed to do now that he had acquired the stone? Yes, he understood that the

stone could be used in order to enhance mutation within humans.

But, how was he supposed to ensure that the success rate of

the mutation was going to increase? And, considering that the quality of the

stone had been increased by a huge margin, it was clear that even a small

amount of solution formed from this stone would definitely lead to the death of

a person.

Just as Jaden was thinking about what to do, he suddenly

heard the sound of knocking coming from the wooden door that separated him and

Nameless.

It was only then that Jaden remembered that he was not here

alone, but instead, he was here together with Nameless. Nameless had been

locked out of this room, perhaps due to the mechanisms that had been set, in

order to ensure that only Jaden accessed this room.

Since there was nothing else here inside this room, Jaden

decided that it was finally time for them to leave. As for the mysteries

surrounding the stone, he would have to investigate later on.

Currently, they would have to deal with the group of mutants

that was coming after them. Otherwise, if he continued staying here, there was

a possibility that those mutants would be able to break into the laboratory.

And if something like that happened, then, there would be

the revelation about the whereabouts of the laboratory. One had to know that

the location of the laboratory had been investigated for several years, but it

had never been found.

It was expected that those other forces would investigate

about the location of the laboratory, after realizing that it was impossible

for them to get any result about the mutation.

Jaden obviously could not blame them for not succeeding.

After all, even for his parents, they had only succeeded after using this

stone. And, they had only used a small piece of it.

In any case, the moment that the location of the laboratory

was found, they would realize that it was impossible for them to enter without

Jaden. So of course, they would come over and look for Jaden.

Just as he was thinking about that, Jaden suddenly

remembered something. Nameless had previously told him that this laboratory had

a mechanism that would lead to self-destruction, in case someone tried to force

their way in.

It was just that until now, Jaden had not noticed any

mechanism that could lead to the destruction of this laboratory. But

nevertheless, since he had already gotten what he wanted, and Nameless was not

here with him with other motives, then, there was no need for him to pay

attention to that.

He approached the door, held the handle, and easily opened

it. He found that Nameless was waiting for him out there. Jaden could not help

but raise his brows slightly.

He wondered why Nameless had not tried to enter into the

room, when the door was not even locked. Despite that, he did not even ask

about it.

And at this moment, Nameless spoke up. "We should hurry up.

Those guys have already reached the elevator. They are trying to break into the

elevator. The moment that happens, then they would be able to get here, and

they would know about the laboratory."

Jaden understood that Nameless was being a little restless

simply because he did not understand that the laboratory actually did not

possess anything that could aid the research of the mutants.

That was simply because Jaden had already taken what had led

to the mutation. Currently, it was stored in his pants side-pocket, leading to

a bulge there.

Nameless heart of course seen it, but he did not say

anything. He believed that whatever was in Jaden's pocket at the moment, was

definitely what his parents had left for him.

"Let's leave. I do believe that those guys will not try to

use their ability, unless they are really sure of that we are there. So, they

are going to take quite a long time before they can finally break the door of

the elevator." Nameless stated.

Jaden simply nodded, and the two of them headed towards the

exit of the laboratory. They got there, went through the corridor, before

reaching in front of the elevator.

The two of them got Inside the elevator, before the elevator

took them upwards. And in a few seconds, they finally arrived, which was

accompanied by the mechanical voice of the elevator informing them about their

arrival.

The good thing about this elevator was the fact that unlike

during the time that they had gone underground, where the door automatically

opened, here, they would have to open the doors of the elevator themselves.

That was way more convenient, considering that the location

of this elevator was within a hotel. If they just happened to open the doors of

the elevator, only to meet up with the security guards, this was definitely

going to raise an issue.

At this moment, there was a frown on Nameless's face. He

said in a low voice, "It seems that they have someone with an ability of

dealing with information. They have already deactivated all the CCTV cameras

within the underground parking.

Without those cameras, it is going to be difficult for me to

be able to tell what it is that they are doing out there."

Jaden remained silent upon hearing that. From Nameless's

words, it was clear that his ability was somehow related to the cameras. Maybe

he was capable of accessing the information within the cameras? Or maybe it was

even broad, allowing him to be able to access the information on the internet?

If that was the case, then that implied that he was actually

no different from the AI that he currently possessed. After all, the AI was

capable of accessing the information that could be found on the internet, and

other electronic devices.

If that was the case, then that implied that Nameless had

somehow managed to delete information about himself. It was no wonder that the

AI was not capable of identifying who he was.

But Jaden was curious at this moment. If there was someone

Your journey continues with empire

who had used an ability here, did that not imply that the mutants from the

government within the city had been alarmed?

If that was so, then why was it that nobody had come over?

After all, currently, a battle was supposed to be ensuing in the underground

parking.

But with his sharp sense of hearing, despite the

restrictions put within the elevator walls, he was capable of detecting the

movements outside. From the looks of it, that group of mutants was only trying

to look for a method of getting into the elevator without using their

abilities.

In any case, if they actually used their own abilities, they

would have definitely broken the wall at this moment, and entered into the

elevator. But by doing that, they would definitely attract the attention of the

mutants. Maybe, deactivating the cameras was something that they could do

without attracting much attention.

But the risks involved if the others activated their own

abilities would definitely be higher. There was a possibility that the location

would be immediately spotted, and those mutants would come rushing over.

Jaden approached the wall, and leaned in, with his ear

coming into direct contact with the elevator door. He listened carefully, and

finally, managed to catch bits of the conversation that was going on out there.

"What should we do? Those two have definitely entered here.

I don't know what method was used to construct this secret passage, but it is

almost impossible for us to be able to break in without using our abilities."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"You know that if we use our abilities anymore, our location

will be given away. It was good enough that we have already taken care of the

security guards down here, and the cameras have also been taken care of. Now,

the only thing that we have to worry about are those two."

"But we cannot afford to fail this mission. What should we

do? We cannot allow them to get away. What if there is another exit other than

this one?"

"Let's just take the risk. In any case, when we were sent

over to handle this mission, it was clear that boss expected that there was

going to be a difficulty. This is a first tier city after all, and it is within

the central province.

In any case, no matter what we do, we are bound to have a

fight with those mutants from the government. They might have an advantage in

terms of numbers, but, we are not to be underestimated as well."

"Okay then. Should I just destroyed this door? I can easily

do that with my strength."

"You don't know what is lying beyond this wall. What if it

is a trap, and the moment that you destroy it, you end up getting killed? Let

Marty do that."

"Sure. Everyone, step back. I will use my ability now, and

destroy that wall. It should only take a few seconds."
