The Bodyguard System

Jaden was left speechless. Was this guy trying to introduce himself like that? And what the heck was up with the name nameless? Was there no other name?

Despite what he was thinking, Jaden did not say anything, but instead, looked at the man. Since the man already knew about him, it was clear that there was a reason why he had come over.

That was still a probability that he was an enemy, considering that not just his friends knew about him. And since that was the case, Jaden was still cautious of this guy.

The man seemed to have been expecting something, but when he noticed that Jaden's expression did not change, he simply let out a defeated sigh.

"Okay. Sit down. We have to talk." The man said as he pointed towards the couch that was opposite the one that he was currently sitting on.

Jaden went ahead and sat down, while keeping watch over this guy. He could not allow his eyes to leave this man, considering that he might be attacked at any moment, if he was an enemy.

Everything about this guy was suspicious, and of course, Jaden had to be cautious. The AI could not find any information about this guy, and there was a probability that he was from the two forces that he could not find any information about.

After Jaden had sat down, the expression on the man's face changed. He became extremely serious, as he looked at Jaden.

"Actually, I was sent over here by your parents." The man said something that shocked Jaden completely.

His parents had actually sent this guy over? But how was that even a possibility? His parents were already dead, and he had attended their funeral. After all, it was after their funeral that he had lost everything to his relatives.

"Well, my fault there. Actually, I was sent by your parents to wait for you here. That was several years ago, and that was the last time that I met with them. I'm not really sure where they are, but I'm here to do what they instructed me to do." The man scratched the back of his head as he said those words.

Jaden could not help but frown upon hearing that. His parents had actually instructed someone to it for him here? But what was the reason behind that? The only way to find that out was obviously to listen to this guy.

"I do believe that since you are here, you already know about what your parents were dealing with. They were dealing with advanced genetics, dealing with the mutation, and unlocking of supernatural abilities.

As you can anticipate, there is no any science experiment that goes without test subjects. At the beginning, they were just doing their own tests without involving any humans.

But then, it reached a level that the research could not be proved, unless it was used on humans. And that was the reason why they decided to look for humans that would be willing to be used for the research.

They did not target just anyone, but instead, they looked for those that were in a critical condition, about to die. In any case, since they were about to die, those people immediately agreed, upon hearing that there was a chance that they would survive.

Despite the low chances of survival, these people did not hesitate to immediately hand themselves over for the research. In any case, it was not as if they were going to be cut into pieces, for the research to progress.

The only thing that they needed to do was to take some medication, and wait. If they were not lucky, something might happen, and they might end up dying. But if it goes well, then they would be able to survive, and whatever they were suffering from would be completely healed, or their time in this world might be extended.

With so many people joining, it was obviously going to attract the attention of the government. And so, the government came to know about this project, that was being handled by a private organization.

During the time that the government came to know about this, things had already changed. The organization that your parents were working for had already fallen out with them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That was the exact reason why they decided to start a laboratory of their own, and carry out their research there. And considering that they had already received the approval of the people that they were using for the research, nothing was considered as illegal.

And during the time that the government came to know about this project, they were obviously interested. And that was something that led to the government sending an invitation to the two of them, asking them to join the government.

Of course, the only condition for something like that to happen was if they were willing to follow the rules that were going to be set by the government. But nevertheless, they were going to be given all the freedom when it came to the research, and all the decisions related to that.

Your parents agreed. Considering that they had already fallen out with the organization that they were working for, it was clear that they were going to be targeted for this project.

So, they joined the government as a form of protection. And, they asked the government to make sure that you were not involved in anything that they were doing.

That is the exact reason why nobody ever came to look for you, despite how your parents were involved with the big shots. This was just to ensure your safety.

Besides that, as the project progressed, the results finally began coming out. As expected, at first, the number of casualties was especially high. About only 1% of the people that had joined at the beginning managed to survive.

Considering the population that is present within this country, 1% of the people that have joined obviously numbered in tens. But still, that was not the end of it all.

For this 1% that survived, they actually began awakening abilities. At first, they were not strong at all, but as time kept on progressing, they began getting stronger and stronger.

As you can tell, while these few people were progressing, getting better, it was clear that more people would be joining the project. And so, the research was being carried out on many people that were in a critical condition.

In any case, the moment that the government came to know about the abilities that had been awakened by that small group of people, there was suddenly a division between them.

Some of the government officials wanted this project to be involved officially, so that the soldiers could be converted and gain the abilities. As long as they gained these abilities, they would be able to be strong when it came to the military force of the country.

But that was something that was rejected by not only your parents, but others from within the government as well. They thought that this was a great risk.

That was only a small percentage of people that was surviving at the moment that this suggestion was given out. And of course, there was no need of using healthy people for the experiments.

While the chaos within the government progressed, your parents immediately understood that they could not continue with this project.

They had initially agreed to join the government side in order to gain protection. But at that point, the government officials were also targeting them.

Some of them had even suggested that the two of them be removed from the project, and instead, let those scientists that were currently working for the government to work on the project.

But this was something that was hindered by the contract. The only way of breaking the contract was obviously to kill the two that were in charge of the contract, your parents.

In the end, those few officials informed your parents about this, and that was the reason why your parents left the government. But no sooner have they left the protection of the government, that they were attacked by the organization that they were working for before.

But before they died, they informed me to wait for you here in this city. I was supposed to tell you about this, and then tell you about the location of the laboratory.

You must be wondering why I was informed of coming over and informing you of this, it is simply because I was among the people that were saved by the project. It might be due to lack, but I was actually amongst those few that had started the experiment from the beginning.

While I was not against them, others thought that this was a chance for them to be able to get to the top. So of course, they wanted to seize the moment, and fight against the government, only to realize that some of those mutants had already joined the government, and they began fighting against each other.

Well, the battle between the mutants is not something that involves us for the time being. So, are you ready to know about the location of the laboratory?

According to what I was told by your parents, it was said that if you came here, that would imply that you would be looking for the laboratory. But it is impossible for you to be able to find it by yourself.

And that is the exact reason why I am here, to take you there, but only if you are willing. If you are not, I will leave, and you will just ignore what I said, and act as if I never existed at all." The man completed as he looked at Jaden.
