The Bodyguard System

Just a few moments after Jaden had managed to move to the side, something as sharp as an arrow suddenly flew by past his ear.

Indeed, it had managed to miss the target that it was intended for. But still, it still managed to hit someone.

Puchi! Aaaah!

A man was just passing by, just like the others, busy with the preparations for the celebrations of the end of the year, when suddenly, something sharp pierced through his chest.

He immediately collapsed onto the ground while screaming, at the same time, all the bags that he was carrying fell onto the ground.

This immediately rose a commotion. The people around began screaming one after the other, especially when they saw the blood that had already begun spurting out of the wound.

Jaden had not anticipated this. Even he himself had not been prepared to be attacked while taking a stroll. So, he simply acted instinctively, forgetting about the fact that when he dodged, with the street crowded, someone else was going to suffer.

Jaden looked at the man who had fallen on to the ground. This guy was quite lucky. After all, even though it was true that he had been pierced, it was on his right chest.

According to the height at which that small object had flew at, it was clear that whoever it was that had attacked had not aimed at Jaden's heart. Or maybe they did, but they did not aim well, making it rise slightly above.

Jaden believed that this guy was not going to be in any great danger for the next few minutes. Even though it was true that there was a possibility that that sharp object had pierced through the lungs, but as long as it was not removed without professionals assistance, there would not be that much danger.

Jaden understood that he was not supposed to be here anymore. The longer that he stayed here, the greater the possibility that he was going to be attacked once again.

And if he dodged, another person might be impacted by this. So, Jaden had to leave this place as fast as possible. It was clear that whoever it was that was attacking him at this moment was not an ordinary person.

Otherwise, they would not have given Jaden the feeling of being gazed at by a predator. At the same time, the speed at which this object came over was obviously not ordinary.

The moment that Jaden thought about that, he immediately detected danger once again. It was just that since he was currently alert, he felt that the danger level was quite low.

Currently, the people around had already begun moving away. And due to the fact that there was a large crowd within the street, many people had already fallen, and a stampede might arise if people were not organized.

Jaden immediately moved. He mingled with the crowd, before heading towards the direction of the source of the attack.

He had detected that the attack had come from a building not far away. So, he immediately rushed in, while at the same time, paying attention at the people around him.

Even though a commotion had occurred in the streets just a few meters away from this building, the people here were just slightly curious, but were not moving around like those in the streets.

This made it easy for Jaden to be able to move quite quickly, approaching the elevator, taking it towards the top floor. It was only from the top floor that he was going to be able to access the roof of the building.

Even though the elevator was moving at a fast speed, Jaden felt that it was quite slow. After all, it would occasionally stop from time to time, with people coming in and out of the elevator.

If Jaden wanted, he could have simply taken the stairs instead. But, he was not willing to show more than what was supposed to be seen. After all, if people suddenly so in the footage that there was someone that was rushing towards the top of the building at an incredible speed that was beyond being ordinary, it would definitely rise questions.

He could have used the AI in order to be able to wipe the footage, but considering that he had not made any earlier preparations for this, and he had already gotten here, making it difficult for him to wait for the AI to be able to conceal his movements.

Despite how slow it was, Jaden still managed to make it to the top floor of the building of this commercial building in just a matter of about 2 minutes.

Immediately after coming out of the elevator, he rushed towards the end of the corridor. When he got there, he claimed the stairs that led towards the roof. On getting there, he realized that the door that led to the roof had been closed.

After looking around, Jaden realized that there were no CCTVs around. So without hesitation, he immediately kicked the door, breaking it, giving him access to the roof.

….

"Damn it! I never anticipated that he was going to react that fast. It seems that it was no exaggeration at all when they told me to be careful about him. There is a possibility that he is a mutant." A man who was wearing black all over, with his face covered in a black mask could not help but say in a low voice.

At this moment, he was standing on the roof of a building, looking towards the street below it. At this moment, almost the entire street was chaotic.

People had already surrounded the person that had been injured below there, and they had already called for the medic. Considering that this was a first tier city, the reaction of the law enforcers was quite quick.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

For that reason, they had already arrived at the scene, trying to come people down. At the same time, some of them had already gone ahead to start offering first aid to the man that was still lying on the ground.

The people around did not dare to take him to the hospital. Each and every one of them was afraid of taking responsibility in case this man died.

It was true that he had been attacked by someone else, and they were just helping, but they were all afraid of being questioned, and asked to give evidence in case this issue escalated.

The man shook his head, before deciding to pay attention to his target. But it was at this moment that he suddenly realized that while he was focusing on the commotion that was going on below there, somehow, the target had already disappeared.

The man obviously did not believe this. He immediately approached the edge of the roof, looking down carefully. He did not believe that in just a little time, someone had disappeared.

Even though down there was chaotic, it was quite easy for him to be able to observe each and every person down there. So, he observed carefully, scrutinizing each and every person.

But even after observing for over a minute, he realized that he could not see the target. At that moment, he felt that there was something wrong.

"Damn! I was careless! I forgot that if he could dodge my attack from such a distance, even if it was just a matter of a fluke, he must have escaped by now! It's going to be a little difficult for me to be able to get a chance like this, if he is cautious." The man cursed as he heavily slammed his foot onto the ground.

Bang!

Coincidentally, at the very same moment that he had slammed his foot onto the ground, behind him, he heard the sound of something being smashed open.

When he looked back, he realized that there was the security door of the roof that was flying towards him. The man reacted instinctively, shifting his body to the left, barely managing to dodge the door that smashed heavily onto unto the railings of the roof.

The man gazed towards the direction of the entrance of the roof when he suddenly noticed that there was a figure that had somehow appeared.

And when he saw the appearance of the other party, he could not help but feel a chill running down his spine. When he attacked, he had never anticipated that he was going to be easily found, considering that he had attacked from quite a distance away, which was something that not any ordinary person was supposed to find him.

At this moment, he immediately believed that what he had been told was the truth. It was clear that this guy was not ordinary, he was clearly a mutant.

When he was being informed before, it was just an assumption that was being made. But now, he was sure of it. He would have to make sure that he passed this information back to those that had sent him.

Looking at Jaden who was walking slowly towards him, the man could not help but feel chills running down his spine. At this moment, he understood that the situation was not the same anymore.

"It seems that we have underestimated you quite a lot. But the next time that we meet, you are going to fall. Take this as an opportunity for you to carry out anything that you have ever wanted to do. And if you have saved money, you better spend it, or you will leave it behind with nobody to spend it." The man said.

Immediately after saying those words, he turned around, and without hesitation, jumped from the roof, over the railings.
