The Bodyguard System

Chepa city. That was where the most recent incident involving the bloodhound mercenary group had been recorded. This city was quite a distance away from Rezi city.

According to the information that Jaden possessed about this special unit, he understood that they were going to use a helicopter as a means of transportation. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to be able to travel from city to city, if they decided to use road transport.

Additionally, several complications could occur if they used road transport. And, it was going to take quite a long time for them to be able to reach their destination, and at that time, the mercenaries would have already left, or would have already completed the task that had brought them there.

Having already dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with, and after parking everything that he would need during the time that he was going out, Jaden decided to relax for the rest of the day.

….

The following day...

On an open field that was located in the outskirts of the city, there was a helicopter that looked just like an ordinary business helicopter, with the only difference being the exaggerated size.

But this time, the people that were currently boarding this helicopter possessed military equipment. Each and every one of them was holding a gun, while at the same time, they were wearing bulletproof vests.

If one saw them, he would be able to tell that they belonged to an army. It was just that not just anybody could identify which army they belonged to. The reason behind that being the fact that they were part of a special unit that was not public.

Even though a few of them had already boarded the helicopter, two others were currently waiting. They were all looking into the distance, towards the road that was quite close to the area that the helicopter had landed.

The number of people here reached up to 12. They were all part of a team that was part of the special unit. And, it was not the only team, considering that there were many other teams that were spread all over the country, in all the other provinces.

Other than these two people that were currently waiting, not getting inside the helicopter, those that had already gotten inside the helicopter were communicating with each other.

"Do you think that John is actually going to come back with a bodyguard?" One of them could not help but question.

"What do you know? John's family really cares about him. So of course, he would have to come back with a bodyguard, otherwise, it is going to be impossible for his family to allow him to come back to the team." Another one responded.

"That is a possibility. But you know John. He is not going to accept just anybody to become his bodyguard. You have already seen the conditions that he set out, in order to be able to accept anyone as his bodyguard."

"You are right. Those conditions are quite strict. With John's capabilities, I doubt that there is going to be anyone that has managed to defeat John. After all, John is stronger than any ordinary person."

"You guys are forgetting something. There is a possibility that he is going to get a bodyguard, someone who is way skilled than himself."

"Those people have pride of their own. Additionally, even if they qualify, which is by defeating John, they will have to undergo a background check. Otherwise, it is going to be impossible for them to be able to join us. After all, by being John's bodyguard, that would imply that they would be part of our special unit's Eagle team."

"Can you guys give it up?! You keep on talking as if you don't have something to do. Now, take out your devices, and make preparations by gathering information on what we are going to deal with!" One of the people that were waiting outside the helicopter could not help but shout words this group of soldiers that were discussing with each other.

"Yes captain!" Every soldier responded in a loud voice. At the same time, they could not help but feel a little speechless. What kind of information were they supposed to find?

After all, the intelligence department had already given them the necessary information on the mission that they were going to deal with. So, how were they supposed to get even more information than the one that had already been provided?

Despite all the thoughts that they were having, none of them showed it on their faces, and neither dared to say that out loud. They all understood the consequences of doing something like that.

The entire place quieted down after receiving the command from the captain of the team. Everyone took out their own devices, the ones that were provided by the military.

They immediately began going through the information related to the mission that they were supposed to deal with. But instead of trying to look for more information, instead, they just kept on going through the information that they had already read before.

About 10 minutes later, finally, there was the sound of an engine approaching. When everyone looked over, they realized that there was a BMW 7 series that was approaching.

They could not help but raise their brows slightly, while at the same time, they became vigilant. After all, this was the first time that they were seeing this car. And, they were not sure about the owner of the car, and neither did they know their intention.

This area that they were currently in was restricted. This implied that not just any ordinary car was allowed to come to this place. And somehow, this car had come over.

Just as they were wondering about who the owner of the car was, with some of them already getting their hands closer to their guns, ready to take action in case there was a need for them to do that, the car stopped.

It stopped just a little distance away from the helicopter. Then, the driver's door opened. What came into their view was a young man with an above average appearance.

He was currently wearing a black suit. His eyes were quite sharp as he scanned the surrounding area, together with the soldiers. Despite the soldiers having been in the battlefield many times, they could not help but feel a chill running down their spine the moment that the gaze landed on them.

And just as they were wondering who this young man was, and what was his intention of coming over, the young man walked to the other side of the car, before opening the door of the car.

The one who came out of the car surprised them. It was none other than the vice captain of the team. Just like themselves, he was currently dressed in a combat outfit.

Additionally, there was a gun that was hanging by his side. The moment that he came out of the car, he smiled towards them.

He strode towards them, the same smile on his face. As for the young man who had come together with him, he followed closely behind. But despite that, his eyes were continuously scanning the surrounding area.

From their observation, they could already tell that this young man seemed to be extremely cautious, as if afraid that danger would suddenly arise around them.

"Hi guys, it has been quite a while, hasn't it?" John asked with a big smile on his face, completely different from the times that Jaden had met him.

"It has only been a few days. Why does it seem that you are so sentimental?" The captain asked. Despite his voice sounding quite cold, there was a small smile on his lips.

"What sentiment are you talking about? It is normal that I will miss you guys after being away for over a week. Anyway, how are things going? Should we depart right now, or are we going to wait for something?" John asked as he gave the captain and the other soldiers a bear hug.

"We will be leaving. But who is this guy that came with you?" The captain responded, before asking while looking at the young man that had come together with John.

"Oh, forgive me. I had almost forgotten about this. This is my bodyguard, his name is Jaden. I'm already used to coming over without anyone following me, making me forget about this." John said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

His words Immediately surprised the people around. They could not believe what they had just heard. John actually had a bodyguard? Previously, they thought that John was never going to have a bodyguard.

But now, John came over with a bodyguard. And more than that, this bodyguard that had come over was even younger than any of them. Was John sure that this was a bodyguard, not his student that had come over to train?

Upon seeing the questioning gazes that he was receiving from the people around, John simply smiled as he said, "Don't doubt Jaden's capabilities. He might be young, but he is extremely talented. I understand that talent alone is not enough. But, you cannot believe this, but he is actually stronger than I am."

The people around could not help but get even more shocked upon hearing that Jaden was actually even stronger than John. How was that even possible? Such a young man, how was he stronger than John?

Ignoring the doubting gazes that he was receiving, John looked at Jaden and continued with the introductions.

"This one here is the captain of our Eagle team. As for the others, they are my colleagues and brothers. For this entire team, we trained together, before finally being assigned to the same team. Even though we were not the only ones in that batch, but at least, we know each other ever since the first day." John said with a hint of pride on his face.
