The Bodyguard System

Since nameless had said so, and was already leading the way,

Jaden decided to follow behind. He did not need to make any preparations, other

than the flash drive that he had gotten back then.

He went back to his bedroom, picked it up from one of his

briefcases, then came out and followed Nameless who was already waiting for him

outside the door.

The two of them walked out of the hotel, and Jaden did not

even inform John about this. But still, he had the AI keep an eye on John, just

in case John experienced any form of danger.

It might be difficult for him to be able to come back on

time and rescue John, but there was still the probability that he would be able

to make it back.

Additionally, he was not planning on going out for a long

time. It was quite good that John and the others did not have to undergo the

mutation on this specific day. They needed to wait for the next few days,

before they were finally summoned.

Jaden was curious about what it was that his parents had

left for him. There was always a possibility that it was something that was

related to mutation. After all, they were scientists, and Jaden did not think

of anything that they might have left behind, other than something that was

related to medicine.

Maybe there was another thing, but Jaden thought that the

possibility of something like that happening was quite low.

The moment that the two of them got out of the hotel, they

got into a car. This car was obviously the one that Nameless had come in. It

was just an ordinary Audi Q7. It was quite old, as compared to the other

vehicles present within the city.

Jaden got into the passenger seat, while Nameless took the

driver's seat. Nameless began driving the car, and Jaden noticed that they were

heading towards the outskirts of the city.

Jaden had anticipated something like that. After all, for a

laboratory to be hidden, it obviously had to be outside the city, right? If it

was located within the city, there was a great possibility that it would be

found out.

But just as Jaden thought that they were heading out of the

city, Nameless suddenly began driving towards another direction.

Yes, they had already gotten out of the heart of the city,

but they were still within close to the center of the city. They had begun

moving eastwards, even though initially, they had been moving towards the

South.

Several minutes later, Nameless then began driving in

another direction again. It was just that Jaden was left speechless

momentarily. The reason behind that being the fact that they were actually

heading back towards the heart of the city.

Jaden could not help but ask, "Are you sure that you know

the location of the laboratory? Or have you forgotten the route?" Continue your journey on empire

If the laboratory was located within the heart of the city,

then what was the reason of wasting time going around like this? Jaden was a

bodyguard, and obviously, he could not afford to waste time.

Or was it possible that this guy called Nameless was

actually here to lure him away, so that others could get John? That was a

possibility, but Jaden hoped that that was not the case.

Until this time, the AI had not given him any notification,

indicating that John had not yet faced any danger. And, he was still within the

hotel, considering that if he had left the hotel, the AI would have already

informed him.

"Don't worry. I'm just trying to lose a group of fools. It

seems that you have quite a few people that are targeting you." Nameless

responded simply.

Jaden could not help but raise his brows slightly. It was

already evening, as they had arrived in this city not long ago. There were

several hours before nighttime, and Jaden did not think that John would have

anywhere to go, at least for today.

That was the reason why he had decided to come together with

Nameless. Otherwise, if it was the morning hours, he would not have accompanied

Nameless, even if it was the issue concerning the laboratory.

As for someone chasing after them, Jaden had also noticed.

He noticed that there was a car that was following behind them. Even though Nameless

was not driving at a high speed, still, by now, they would be fools to think

that it was just a coincidence that the car was heading the same route as them.

After all, they had been heading towards the outskirts of

the city, only to turn back and use another road in order to go back to the

heart of the city. And that very same car did the same, coming after them.

Initially, Jaden thought that it was a group of people that

was coming after Nameless. But now that he thought about it, since he had

already arrived within the central province, there was a great possibility thatNôv(el)B\\jnn

he was the one that was being chased after.

Nameless had already proved that by what he had said. It was

clear that the Raven mercenary group had already known about his presence

within the central province.

Jaden was not really sure about the reason why they wanted

to eliminate him, but nevertheless, the two forces had sent mutants after him.

So, Jaden understood that there was a great possibility that within that car

that was coming after them, mutants were inside there.

As for the reason why they had not taken action till now, it

was simply because they were with him a first tier city. And since this was the

central province, obviously, mutants were not going to be able to act that

easily.

While they were restricted to go to the other provinces,

that did not imply that they could not go. Yes, they could go there, just like

Scott did. But, they were prohibited from acting.

After all, the moment that they were detected, a group of

mutants would be sent over. And if the mutant that had acted within the other

provinces was found, they would be executed.

As for within the central province, even though the mutants

did not act freely, in case they took action, they would only end up fighting

against the mutants from the government. They would not face the risk of death,

but that was only if what they had done was not breaking the rules of the

country.

And looking at the car that was coming after them, it was

clear that they were waiting for a chance. Within the central province, each

and every first tier city had several mutants within it.

That implied that if those mutants acted, the mutants that

were in charge of this city would obviously detect that. Then, they would come

rushing over.

The only thing that these mutants could do was obviously to

try and eliminate Jaden as soon as possible. Maybe that was the reason why they

were waiting for a chance, maybe to wait until Jaden had moved away from the

city, which would increase the distance between them and the mutants.

"Don't worry about them. Let's just head in that location. I

want us to go to the laboratory as soon as possible. There is something else

that I need to take care of, and I cannot continue staying here for a long

time." Jaden responded after a moment of silence.

Nameless could not help but raise his brows slightly as he

looked at Jaden from the corner of his eyes. Then, after a moment of thought, he

simply shrugged and said, "Okay. But let me tell you, I do believe that the

people inside that car are mutants. If they come to know about the location of

the laboratory, things will obviously get messy.

They will come to know that it is impossible for them to be

able to access the laboratory, and they will try all means to try and see if

they can enter. And obviously, that includes abducting you, to see if you have

a method of accessing the laboratory.

And if something like that happens, believe me, whatever it

is that your parents left for you, those guys will take it. And that is

definitely not the aim of your parents by leaving behind whatever it is that

they left for you."

Upon hearing the reminder from Nameless, Jaden did not say

anything. He had already thought this through. It was not as if he was going to

continue hiding for a long time, especially considering that there was already

a group of mutants that was after him.

If they really wanted him dead, there was a possibility that

they might risk everything, and just attack him even with the risk of being

attacked by the mutants from the government.

Additionally, Jaden believed that these mutants were

obviously of the same level as those that had blocked his path a few hours ago.

If that was the case, Jaden believed that he would be able

to take care of them. As for the numbers, that was not something that really

concerned him. Ever since he had improved his telekinesis ability, it was clear

that his combat strength had increased as well.

Upon seeing the confidence that was on Jaden's face,

Nameless did not say anything. He simply shrugged his shoulders, and drove

towards the location of the laboratory.

Jaden had expected that he was going to drive towards the

outskirts of the city, but he realized that they were still heading towards the

heart of the city.
