The Bodyguard System

During the following day, Jaden and John went ahead and took a stroll within the city. It was a good thing that John did not have to undergo whatever program the government had for him during that day.

As for John himself, he decided to go around, just to walk around the city. He understood that this might be the final time that he was having the freedom of going around. After all, there was a possibility that he might end up dying during the next moment that he would be required to attend the mutation program.

At this moment, Jaden was still thinking of a method that he was going to use in order to make sure that John did not undergo the mutation, at least not by the method used by the government.

Of course, at this point, he understood that the system was not only meant for himself, but instead, for the entire civilization on this planet.

Yes, he was the one who held the system, but he had to share the advantages with the entire world. He did not really need to reveal the system, but he could use the system in order to make sure that the advancement of this civilization was sped up.

Considering that the system had claimed that those other civilizations that had been looking for its maker would be looking for the technology, they might actually pop up outside this world at any time.

If that situation happened, then, this world was definitely not capable of protecting itself. It would be better if the strength of this world could be increased to a level that it could be able to compete against those other civilizations.

Well, the technological advancement of this world had improved by quite a huge margin for the past few decades. But that was obviously not enough, considering that this world had obviously not reached the interstellar era.

For those other civilizations that were able to fight against other civilizations, it was clear that they had already reached that level. And for them to reach that level, they definitely possessed incredible weapons that were capable of destroying worlds.

Jaden had been thinking of a method that he was going to use in order to make sure that there was a rapid development within this world. And that was when he thought about the stone.

Currently, the AI was still trying to gather as much money as possible. Of course, it was going to take quite a while for it to be able to gather enough money that would enable Jaden to be able to do everything that he wanted.

As soon as the research about the stone was completed, Jaden had planned that he was going to use the stone in order to make several serums. Then, those serums would be used in order to create mutants.

In fact, if that serum could be injected into his body, and increase his abilities, then Jaden would obviously do that. Other than that, Jaden would also try to study if there was a method of replicating the components that could be used in mutation.

With that, even though the amount of mutation serums was going to be limited, at least, the number of mutants would increase by a huge margin.

And as he thought of that, he suddenly remembered something. If the world was actually going to change, and a huge number of mutants was going to appear, then this world was definitely going to be completely different from before.

Currently, the mutants were actually within this nation alone. Jaden was not really sure about the method that had been used by the government in order to make sure that the mutants within this country did not go out, but it was quite good.

It was just that all the mutants that were present within this nation were currently acting cautiously. But that would not be the case in the near future, especially if a large number of mutants appeared.

The appearance of the mutants could be controlled by the government, but Jaden was not having the intention of giving the government this opportunity to do it by themselves.

After all, during the time that his parents were alive, some of those within the government had their own intentions, and Jaden did not believe that there would not be any this time.

Someone might actually harbor idea of creating their own private army of mutants. And that was not something that Jaden was planning to allow them to do.

Jaden thought that it was better to find a method that he was going to use those serums in order to create mutants all over the world. Then, with the appearance of the mutants, it was clear that the situation was going to be chaotic all over the world.

Some people might gain the abilities, and start killing others, while plundering other people's property. It could be said that crime rate would immediately spike up.

But that was something that Jaden believed that this world had to go through. After all, in the case that they were facing another civilization, that civilization would not just come over and start communicating with them directly.

In case that civilization had any ill intentions towards this world, they would obviously start attacking the moment that they arrived. Then, those people that were not prepared would obviously never anticipate something like this to happen.

Considering that they would have never experienced war before, they would fail to defend this world, which was yet again against the plan that Jaden was having.

As Jaden was thinking about all of this, the two of them had already gone quite a distance away from the hotel. They were just moving around the heart of the city, without any destination in mind.

"Say Jaden, is it possible for you to become a bodyguard for another member of my family after this? This is just in case I end up dying, you know?" At this point, John suddenly spoke, bringing Jaden back to his senses.

Jaden looked at John, before finally responding, "It is not impossible for me to become a bodyguard for another member of your family. But the probability of that happening is very small."

The reason why Jaden was saying that was simply because first of all, he was not having any thoughts of allowing John to die. And on the other hand, currently, Jaden could only choose a client from the list that he was given by the system.

The chances of the system giving him a member of the Roberts family as a potential client was extremely low, especially considering that they were currently in the central province, which was a very long way from where the Robert family was located.

Upon hearing Jaden's response, John remained silent for a while. He had already anticipated something like this.

Even at this moment, after realizing that Jaden was a mutant, he was already doubting about the reasons why Jaden decided to become his bodyguard.

As for him targeting the Bloodhound mercenary group, he thought that the possibility of something like that was extremely low. With Jaden being a mutant, as long as he found out about the location of the headquarters of the Bloodhound mercenary group, he could simply go ahead and deal with them easily.

In any case, it was not as if the Bloodhound mercenary group possessed any mutants. And since that was the case, for a mutant like Jaden, who could easily take out other mutants, it was clear that it was easy for him to be able to deal with just a small group of ordinary humans.

As for the chance of Jaden being a bodyguard for another member of his family, that was just his hope. He just hoped that another member of his family would be as lucky as he was, to have Jaden as their bodyguard.

Silence dominated for quite a while, before finally Jaden spoke up again.

He said, "But you don't have to worry. You will not be dying anytime soon."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

John looked at Jaden, and simply smiled. He thought that Jaden was simply trying to give him hope, because the percentage of people that could survive the mutation was extremely low.

Simply put, as long as he went through with the mutation program, he was already 99% dead. As for that 1%, that was something that could almost be ignored.

Jaden did not know what this guy was thinking, but he did not say anything. In any case, even if John believed him or not, it was not as if Jaden was going to change his mind.

He still needed the system, especially considering that the system possessed several more features with the presence of the store. That made it very important to him, implying that he was going to need it even more, more so if he was going to face another civilization.

As for those enemies that he was supposed to deal with, those that were involved with the death of his parents, Jaden was not really that much concerned about them at the moment.

With the store, as long as he had enough money, he could become extremely strong. And, if he found out much more information about the stone that had been upgraded, and create a serum out of it, he could reach a level that those guys could only dream about.

After going around the city for quite a while, the two of them went back to the hotel. John decided to make the preparations, as he had already been informed that he was going to go through the mutation program together with the others on the following day.

As for Jaden, he believed that considering that a day had already gone by, the AI should have already gathered enough money for him to start the research on the stone.
