The Bodyguard System

[The information about the host joining an organization is something that was changed by the system. This was the reward granted by the system to the host on the background editing.

This is just to make sure that the host does not seem suspicious with his abilities, despite the fact that he had never received any training.]

Jaden thought that the system made sense. After all, as time continued to go by, he would continue to gain more abilities. At that time, many people would be suspicious of him. After all, with the capabilities that he possessed, it was impossible for him to be able to learn all of them by himself, and attain the proficiency that he would be having in them.

So, they would try to investigate as much as possible to know the reason why he is that capable. If they are capable of investigating him, they would be able to know that Jaden had been to a certain organization.

With the reputation that the organization possessed, it was not impossible for them to be able to produce somebody like Jaden with such abilities. So, the suspicions about his abilities would definitely subside.

'System, may I know the name of the organization?' Jaden asked in his mind. Each and every time, the organization was mentioned, but he did not know the name until now.

It was better for him to be informed about the name of the organization. That way, in case somebody asked, he would be able to say with confidence that he was part of a certain organization.

[The host will have to find out the name of the organization by himself.]

Jaden: "???"

Jaden ended up thinking that there was no need for him to continue asking the system about it. After all, with the system's behavior, it was not impossible for it to continue remaining silent no matter how many times he asked. It was better for him not to bother with that.

Still, there was one thing that he could not help but wonder about. The system had edited his background. It implied that he had joined that organization at some point in time. But what if the members of that organization came over? Who could recognize him?

If they came and said that Jaden had never been part of that organization, it would be a little troublesome. So, that is something that would have to be taken care of.

[The host doesn't have to worry much about that. Everything has already been taken care of, including your background within the organization. It is quite easy for the system to be able to modify such details within the organization, as compared to modifying those details in the entire world.

For that reason, the host doesn't have to worry much about not being known within the organization. Only a selection of few would be able to know you. Nevertheless, they possess enough authority to confirm that you had been part of that organization at some point in time.]

Jaden nodded in his mind. Since everything had already been taken care of by the system, then there was no need for him to worry about it. He could only focus on dealing with the current issue, and completing as many missions as possible, so that he could get even more abilities.

Anthony on the other hand would not help but look at Jaden. After he had asked that question, Jaden had remained silent for quite a while. He could not help but wonder if Jaden had been reminded of something, and that was the reason why he had fallen deep into thought.

"Hey Jaden, are you there?" Anthony asked, just to make sure.

It was only then that Jaden remembered that he was still with Anthony with him in the car. It was good that he could communicate with the system through his mind. Otherwise, Anthony would have definitely found it strange to see Jaden speaking to air.

"Oh, yes I'm here." Jaden responded as he came out of his thoughts.

"About the question I asked, is there something wrong with it? You can decide not to answer in case it reminds you of something that you don't want to remember…." Anthony stated.

Jaden looked at him, and his impression of this guy, Anthony improved slightly. Still, he went ahead and responded, "I do possess quite a few more skills. Still, for me to display them, it depends on the situation. Of course, I cannot say that I do possess all the skills in the world. Nevertheless, some situations that may require some special skills, may find me having them."

Anthony looked at Jaden speechlessly. Could it be that this guy was bragging? After all, what was he trying to imply? Despite the fact that he had actually joined that organization, was it really possible for him to possess so many skills despite his age?

Right, he might possess the skills, but his proficiency in those skills might be quite low. After all, it was impossible to master everything, unless Jaden focused on one skill at a time.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that he thought that Jaden was simply bragging, he did not doubt that Jaden possessed quite a few skills. After all, nobody could have ever thought that Jaden possessed such incredible driving skills, unless they knew that he was the one that had been driving the vehicle at that time, the one that was currently trending in the internet.

Silence dominated the vehicle for quite a while before Anthony spoke up again. "Leaving all of that aside, I would like to thank you for what you have done for us. You managed to save my uncle Wilson, and more than that, you have ensured the security of my little sister, Scarlet.

You have encountered quite a few dangers, and the salary that you are receiving is definitely not enough to be able to pay somebody with your capabilities and the duties that you are handling.

I will talk with my father later on. I'm pretty sure that he has already made arrangements for your salary to be increased."

"You don't have to worry about that. The matter of me saving your uncle was something that happened simply because I possessed the capabilities, and I was present at that time. It was impossible for me to let him get harmed In my presence.

Had It been another person, I would have definitely done the same." Jaden responded casually. Of course, he actually meant what he was saying at that time.

"As for the matter of me protecting Scarlet, that is my duty. Additionally, you don't have to be worried much about my salary. It is good enough that you have already helped me with taking care of the hospital bills.

That much is already appreciated. So, you don't have to worry about me defecting due to the danger involved in protecting your sister. So, you can be rest assured that I will do my best to ensure her safety." Jaden continued, not giving Anthony a chance of saying anything.

Anthony, whose mouth was already open decided to remain silent. But at this moment, in his heart, he had already decided that no matter what, he would help Jaden wherever possible.

It was not that easy to be able to find a person like Jaden. Of course, Jaden could be bluffing, but still, he could still give him a benefit of doubt. Despite the fact that his cautiousness of Jaden had not completely disappeared, still, it could be said that he currently trusted Jaden way more than before.

For the rest of the journey back to the Johnsons residence, the two of them maintained silence. They did not have much to talk about, considering that the interaction between the two had been minimal, and they did not know much about each other.

Despite the fact that Anthony had already gone through the background information about Jaden, that was definitely not enough to be able to know much about Jaden's personality and so on. After all, other things could only be known after interacting with the person.

Jaden on the other hand did not have any common topic to talk with Anthony. After all, the two of them were from different backgrounds. While Anthony was dealing with the matters related to family business, Jaden was busy trying to survive. So, the two of them failed to find any topic in common that could make them chat.

Still, the atmosphere was not that awkward between them. Despite the fact that they were not talking to each other, they did not feel uncomfortable in the presence of the other.

Finally, they arrived at the Johnsons residence. The moment that Scarlet parked her car, she immediately rushed towards the mansion. She was quite impatient to receive the reward that had been promised to her.

This was something that made Anthony chuckle slightly. Then, he looked at Jaden and said, "I do hope that you will protect my sister. I know you have already told me that I don't have to be worried, but you know, as her elder brother, I don't have any other choice but to worry about her anyway.

Still, I do hope that you will ensure her safety, especially during this one week that she has been given her freedom. In fact, if you find that she is doing something that is extremely dangerous, try to find a method that you can convince her not to do it. see-more-NovelFire

Although she is a little troublesome, I do believe that you will be capable of taking care of it. After all, you do possess quite some skills, right?" Anthony stated with a serious expression on his face.
