The Bodyguard System

Jaden was surprised when he heard those words. Even with his

sharp senses, he could not detect the sound of someone approaching them.

He could of course detect the sound of the movements from

within the parking, but that was not from the mutants, but instead, it was from

the guards and other owners of some of the cars within the parking.

If what Nameless had said was the truth, then that implied Read the latest on empire

that he had an ability that was related to detection. Either blocking or doing

the tracking himself, it was quite an ability.

Regardless, he followed behind Nameless, and the two of them

got into the space that had been opened up after the wall had moved.

Even though the wall had moved, and there was light within

the underground parking, Jaden could not see what was inside. It was as if

there was something that was blocking the light from penetrating the entrance

that had just been opened.

But all of this changed the moment that they got in. The

darkness inside simply dissipated, allowing Jaden to see what was around him.

It turned out that they had gotten inside something like a

cube, which looked like an elevator. But there were no buttons that could

control the elevator.

Just after the two of them had gotten inside, the wall that

had opened began closing. And it was also at this point that he noticed

something.

Inside the cube that they had entered, while on the other

side, especially the door, was just normal construction material, from the

inside, he noticed that it seemed that advanced technology had been used.

It was some kind of shiny material that could reflect light

slightly, but not glaringly. They were so smooth that even Jaden could easily

see his appearance. Had it not been that the surface was brownish in color,

Jaden would have thought that this was a mirror.

After the 'door' was closed, Nameless approached it. He then

placed his hand on it. The next moment, a faint light came from the surface

that he had touched, before it scanned his hand.

{Welcome.} A female electronic voice suddenly resounded

within, startling Jaden slightly.

"Take us to the entrance of the lab." Nameless stated.

{Please wait for a moment.} The voice responded. And then in

the next moment, Jaden noticed that there was a change.

He could tell that they were moving downwards at this

moment. That was simply due to the feeling that came, especially due to an

elevator moving downwards at a high speed.

Jaden understood that they were currently moving downwards,

which was something to be expected. And a few seconds later, the electronic

voice sounded once again.

{We have arrived at the entrance of the lab.}

Immediately after the voice, the entrance of the elevator

opened, allowing Jaden to see what was on the other side.

"This is something that I had to find some guys that are

quite skilled to create it. They knew about this place, but they did not know

about what is here.

It can be said that those that I invited have a slightly

good relationship with me. That is the only reason why I trusted them to create

this for me. Otherwise, in order for us to be able to get here, we would have

had to demolish the hotel above us." Nameless explained just after they had

gotten out of the elevator.

"How deep are we underground?" Jaden asked in response as he

looked around.

He noticed that there was nothing around them other than a

metallic door a few meters ahead. As for the path that led there, it was a

corridor that was led from the elevator that was already closed.

The entire space was currently lit up, making the place seem

more advanced, just from the metallic walls. The floor beneath them was clean,

reflecting the light that came from the ceiling.

"We are currently just about a hundred meters underground.

This was something that we did in order to make sure that the location of the

laboratory was not revealed.

The entire laboratory walls are reinforced with steel,

making the lab something like a stronghold. It cannot collapse despite the

pressure coming from above.

Of course, this is something that I would not have been able

to complete recently. With the current development of the city, it is obviously

impossible for me to do something like that as it will lead to a huge

commotion.

But considering that this was something that was done years

ago, just before this city developed to the current level, the tremors that

were caused back then we're thought to be a small magnitude earthquake."

Nameless responded with a lengthy explanation.

Jaden raised his brows slightly when he heard that. It was

quite unexpected that this lab was located this deep underground. But when he

thought about it, he realized that it actually made sense.

In any case, this city was only established recently, at

least to become a first tier city. It was initially a small second tier city,

but that changed with the change in powers in the government.

The new leader wanted the entire central province to be

developed, which was the reason for the rapid development of the city to the

current level.

Just as he thought about it, he realized that in the

information about this city that was presented by the AI, this piece of

information was contained.

But it was impossible for Jaden to know about something like

this as he had never anticipated that the laboratory was located in this city.

More than that, it was completely unexpected that the lab would be located in

the heart of the city.

But thinking about it, Jaden realized that this was not

something that had been done intentionally. It was just that during the

development of this city, it was just coincidental that this area developed

more, leading to this area being the central and most developed area.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Let's go. We better get what we need as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if this guys up there come to know that there is a space down here,

which they will surely know, we will have to fight against them, and there is a

great risk that they will know about the presence of the lab here.

It would be better if we go and confront them up there

instead. That way, they can only imagine about what is here, and not be sure

about it." Nameless said as he led the way towards the entrance of the lab.

Jaden discarded the thoughts in his mind and immediately

followed behind Nameless. He realized that he would have to be prepared to

fight the moment that they got out of here.

When the two of them got to the door, Jaden noticed that the

entire door was just a piece of metal without any advanced devices. But after

observing carefully, he noticed that there was a small part that looked

completely different.

Nameless was currently standing there. He placed his hand

there, and in the next moment, the same light flashed like it did in the

elevator.

A few seconds later, there was a slight tremble before the

metallic entrance began moving. And just as Jaden wanted to question why that

was the case, when the door was only supposed to be opened by him, he stopped

himself.

The reason being that he saw that after the metal retracted

into the wall around them, it exposed yet another door. It was just that this

door looked to be more advanced as compared to the one before.

"Go ahead. You just have to put your hand there, and the

rest will be automatically completed." Nameless said as he pointed to a spot on

the newly exposed door.

Jaden looked over and realized that there was a small panel.

On that panel that was the size of a hand but was rectangular shaped, there was

a small opening. Jaden understood that this was the one that was supposed to

get his blood for the DNA test.

Jaden did not immediately do as Nameless expected of him. He

would obviously not just blindly trust Nameless as this was just the first day

that they had met.

He observed carefully, just to see if there was any danger

around, or traps. After detecting none, he looked at Nameless, observing his

expression. But he noticed that Nameless was extremely calm, not having the

anticipation that a person that was about to get what they wanted would have.

Nameless noticed that Jaden was cautious, and he nodded in

his heart in approval. That was something that he had hoped for.

After observing for a while, Jaden went ahead and approached

the door. He then placed his hand on the door. It was at that moment that light

lit up on the panel. It seemed to be scanning his right hand.

He suddenly detected some movement coming from within the

door. It was clearly some mechanism of the door. And, it was operating at a

high speed.

Jaden did not feel any danger, and so, he left his hand

there. And less than a second later, he felt that something had pricked his

palm, shocking him slightly. After the advancement that came from the physique

enhancing pill, it was not that easy to prick his finger.

But it seemed that the material that was used to create the

needle was quite special that it could still prick him despite the strength and

tenseness of his skin.

About five seconds later, Jaden retracted his hand. And

then, he detected that a slight movement coming from the door and it began

opening.
