The Bodyguard System

"I do believe that you have already made a guess on who my brother is. My brother was a mercenary. Despite all the wealth that my family possesses, he decided to do something that he liked, being a mercenary.

He was allowed to do that, becoming one of the mercenaries of one of the biggest mercenary groups in the world. But recently, he came on a mission, but ended up being killed. And, you are the one that killed him." Ben spoke up after a moment of silence.

"I don't see the reason why you will blame me for killing him. He came to kill me, but he failed. Since he failed to do that, did you expect me that I would just let him go?

I already told you that I am a person who always retaliates whenever anybody provokes me. You don't expect me to simply allow someone who wanted to kill me to go just like that, right?" Jaden shrugged as he said those words.

"I know it doesn't make sense to you. But a brother, why would I want you to kill my brother? I am happy as long as he completes the mission that he takes, but if he fails and ends up being killed, of course I will not be happy about it.

In such a situation, if my brother had ended up losing just a leg or something of the sort, I would not have come looking for you. But he died, something that cannot be taken care of as other things can be dealt with.

He failed to kill you, this time, I'm going to kill you." Ben said all these words in a very low voice that felt like a whisper.

"Such a crooked way of thinking." Jaden did not say anything more than that. He understood that it was obviously impossible to be able to talk to Ben in such a situation.

With such type of thinking, Jaden did not believe that he would be able to convince Ben otherwise. In any case, it was clear that Ben had already made up his mind that he was going to kill Jaden today.

But Jaden was not that worried at all. As long as Ben did not use guns on him, Jaden did not have to worry about anyone, unless it was a superhuman like Scott.

"Do you have any last words before you die?" Ben asked as he looked at Jaden with killing intent being fully exhibited.

"I don't have any last words, because I can't tell what my last words will be when the day for me to die will come." Jaden responded with an eased expression on his face.

Even though he looked unperturbed by the situation, he was extremely cautious. He did not know if Ben came with guns, and so, he had to be prepared.

"It seems that you are not prepared to die. But my brother was not prepared as well. For that, you will have to die unprepared as well, even though I gave you the chance of doing so." Ben said those ones as he began retreating from Jaden.

Then in the next moment, he waved his hand, instructing the group of people that he had come together with to attack.

With just a casual wave from Ben, this group of people that have been watching over the receptionist suddenly swung into action.

When Jaden saw the way that they were moving, he could not help but be amazed. From the speed that this group of people was moving at, he could immediately tell that they were obviously stronger than ordinary people.

Additionally, from the casual way that they were jumping over items that were blocking their path, it was clear that they were extremely agile.

By rough calculation from what he had seen, Jaden could tell that there were at least about 13 people that were rushing towards him at this moment. And, they were all skilled.

But Jaden was extremely calm in this situation. That was because he had noticed that none of the people that were rushing towards him was using a weapon at all. They might still be having them, hidden, but Jaden decided that he would have to make sure that he dealt with all of them fast.

While they were rushing towards him, Jaden looked around, towards the CCTV cameras that were installed inside this building. It was then that he noticed that they were not functioning at all.

With that, Jaden's demeanor changed completely. From the easy going person that he was before, he suddenly changed into a figure that did not like being disturbed, one who did not like jokes.

The moment that one of the people that was wearing suits arrived next to him, sending a kick towards him, Jaden simply twisted his body slightly. With that, he avoided the kick. Discover exclusive tales on empire

But it was not as if Jaden was dealing with a single person. He had just managed to dodge one person, when suddenly, two people attacked him from two opposite directions.

Jaden reacted swiftly, raising one of his hands to block the attack that was heading towards his face, while shifting his body to the side, dodging another attack that was aimed towards his back.

Understanding that this battle was not going to end with just blocking the attacks that were aimed at him, Jaden decided to retaliate. For the next person that attacked him using a punch that was aimed towards his chest, Jaden managed to use his incredible speed to grab the arm.

Then with a slight tug, he pulled the man towards him, before throwing a punch. But the punch was heading towards the head of the other party when suddenly, Jaden remembered about the fact that there was a group of people that was watching this battle right now.

It was true that he wanted to kill, but he did not want to kill in front of this group of receptionists. It was clear that some of them had never seen a bloody scene before, not to mention a real situation where they could see people being killed.

It was clear that If he ended up killing people right here, this group of receptionists would be afraid of him, something that Jaden did not want from his employees.

For that reason, the punch that was heading towards the head suddenly changed its direction, slanting downwards.

Bam!

It landed heavily onto the chest of the person that Jaden was attacking. Then, Jaden immediately released the arm of the other party, leaving the other party being sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Several of the people nearby could hear the sound of bones breaking the moment that Jaden attacked. But despite being surprised by the prowess that was being shown by Jaden, they still continued attacking him.

Just from this, it was clear that they were quite professional when it came to matters like this. In normal situations, some people would have obviously hesitated for a moment, the moment that they saw that one of them was sent flying with just a single attack.

Ben on the other hand could not help but frown slightly when he saw this scene. He had already anticipated that Jaden was quite skilled, just from the fact that he had been able to deal with an entire group of skilled mercenaries, including his brother.

That was the reason why he had decided to bring this group, a group that was well trained, and possessed incredible fighting skills. But he had not expected that he had completely underestimated Jaden.

Until now, nobody had managed to land even a single punch on him. But a single attack from him had immediately knocked one of those attacking him out of the battle.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jaden did not care about what Ben was thinking about, and continued dealing with the group that was attacking him. His movements were extremely swift, dodging left and right, while attacking the moment that he had to.

In just a matter of a single minute, the group that numbered up to slightly over 13 was already wailing on the ground, with some of them already unconscious.

Even though Jaden had tried to avoid a bloody scene, it was impossible for him to be able to avoid it completely. It was impossible for him to be able to precisely control his strength, in such a way that even if he broke the bones inside the bodies of those attacking him, he might not end up having a bone protruding out of the skin.

So at this moment, several people were currently lying on the ground, with several of them having their limbs bent in weird angles. Other than that, some of them were currently lying in a pool of blood.

The receptionists were already scared, and were currently hidden behind their counter. They did not dare to look at the bloody scene here.

Even though Jaden had been attacking, he made sure that he did not use his full strength. And other than that, he also made sure that he did not attack anyone in an area that was extremely fatal.

So, other than broken rib bones, or a little fractures in the chest area, there was no any injury that could lead to someone dying, other than maybe from excessive bleeding.

Jaden finally looked at Ben, who looked as composed as ever, something that surprised Jaden. In such a situation, he was supposed to be a little worried, right? After all, Jaden had dealt with all the experts that he had brought over, yet, it seemed that he was completely unperturbed by what had happened here.

"It seems that I underestimated you." Ben suddenly said something that confused Jaden.
