The Bodyguard System

"Don't worry about that John. The injury is not that severe. At most, I will not be able to use my hand for quite some time. But it is impossible for it to be amputated." Mouse responded.

John could only shake his head at that. He understood that Mouse was trying to downplay the injury that he had suffered. It might be true that the training that they had undergone back then was quite intense, allowing their pain tolerance to increase, but even if they could tolerate the pain, that did not imply that they could ignore it.

At the end of it all, it did not matter if someone could no longer feel the pain or not, the body would still be affected. So of course, if an injury was not treated, a scar was bound to be formed, and in other cases, there was a possibility that that particular part of the body might no longer be functional.

"Let's get moving. We don't know the location of the others, it is better if we find them first. We should eliminate any mercenary that we find." John said as he took the lead, to continue moving.

Jaden did not say anything, and instead, he followed closely behind John. As for Mouse, he also followed behind them, while vigilantly looking around them.

Since he could not use both of his hands, it was clear that it was impossible for him to be able to use his rifle. For that reason, he had already changed to a pistol. But, this pistol was completely different from the one that Jaden was having.

Jaden could easily tell that the quality of this pistol was way higher than his Glock 17. It was clear that it was just like the rifle that this special unit used. It was a type of gun that Jaden had never met before. Not even online.

It was clear that the information about this type of gun had been quite hidden, in such a way that even the AI was not capable of finding that information.

The way that the information had been hidden might be almost the same as the Smith family, or the Raven mercenary group. Perhaps that was the reason why it was quite difficult for the AI to be able to acquire information about the mission that they were planning to carry out.

As the group of three continued moving, they kept on vigilantly scanning the surrounding area. At the same time, they communicated with the others, so that they could be cautious.

Additionally, in case there was any one of them that had managed to find a group of mercenaries, they were supposed to inform the others immediately. That way, those that were close by would immediately head over to assist.

Jaden was listening carefully, and he could faintly hear the sound of footsteps around them. From the way that the footsteps sounded uniform, he could tell that they were from the members of the Eagle team.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Until this moment, Jaden realized something. It seemed that other than the four that had already been killed, three by him, and another one by Mouse, there were no any other mercenaries around them.

But that was just a possibility. After all, there was a possibility that the mercenaries were currently not moving, and were hiding on top of the trees around them. In that situation, unless they moved, it would be almost impossible for Jaden to be able to detect them.

It was exactly due to that reason that Jaden kept on looking around, especially on top of the trees. That way, they would not be ambushed by an enemy from the top.

"Oliver has already found the base of the mercenaries. There is a building in his direction, and that is the current stronghold of the mercenary group here. At least, that is where most of the time, most of the mercenaries go there in order to plan on how they are going to deal with the mission." John suddenly stopped as he said those words.

Then in the next moment, the three of them began moving towards another direction. It was the direction of the captain of the team, Oliver.

About 2 minutes later, they finally arrived. Here, even though they were quite some distance away, Jaden could immediately tell that the members of the group had all arrived. They had not gathered together, but instead, they were still spread, all viewing the building from different angles.

Jaden looked at the building. It was just a building with one floor. Despite that, Jaden had to be amazed. After all, this building was painted in such a way that it merged with the surroundings quite well.

Additionally, on top of the building, there are several trees and other plants. They were used as cover, ensuring that there was no possibility of the satellite being able to spot them.

Jaden did not understand what method they had used in order to be able to have trees grow on top of the building, but he could tell that the trees were not that big. Maybe there was a garden on top of the building?

But how were the root systems supported? After all, the root systems of the trees was completely different from weeds and shrubs.

"Be prepared. We are about to start moving in. There is a possibility of traps being laid around here, so, be extremely cautious." John said.

Actually, there was no need for John to say that. After all, the person that had communicated this information was none other than Oliver, and John was able to get the information through the earpiece.

The same was applied to Mouse who was also having an earpiece of his own. The only reason why John was saying those words out loud was simply because he wanted Jaden to hear them.

But with Jaden's sharp sense of hearing, he could obviously hear the ones from the earpiece, especially considering that he was not that far from John.

Nevertheless, Jaden did not say anything out loud. In any case, he did not want to bother to explain the reason why he could hear something that even someone as close as thirty centimeters away could not hear.

Jaden simply nodded his head at that. Ben, they all began moving in. They were moving so cautiously in such a way that the plants around them were only moving slightly.

At the same time, they made sure not to destroy the plants around them, or make leaves fall from the plants. This was just a cautious measure.

And when John observed how efficient Jaden was, and it seemed way more efficient than even they themselves, he could not have but be amazed once again. Just how skilled was Jaden? Was he even a human?

Despite the questions that he was having in his mind, he still progressed, moving towards the building. And as they approached, the tension in the air suddenly increased.

Then in the next moment, John shouted, "Get down!"

Piu! Piu! Read chapters at empire

But even before he finished what he was saying, the sound of two suppressed gunshots could be heard. Then in the next moment, both John and Mouse were left with their mouths agape.

They obviously could not believe what they had seen. The reason why John had shouted for them to get down was simply because there was an enemy that had suddenly appeared in front of them. The windows of the building facing them suddenly opened, revealing to people that were holding guns.

Considering that they were holding rifles, John intended for them to hide in the bushes, to ensure that the enemy would not be able to get a clear target. But even before he could finish what he was saying, Jaden had already shot two consecutive times, claiming the lives of the two people on the spot.

What really shocked John was not the fact that Jaden had killed them. After all, he had already seen Jaden do this before, and he did it three consecutive times.

What really surprised John was the fact that Jaden was currently using a pistol. The effective range of the pistol was about 40 to 50 m. In that situation, it would be extremely difficult to be able to hit the enemy that was more than 50 m away.

But somehow, Jaden was able to get the target that was almost 100 m away. Additionally, he precisely got two head shots. With just two bullets, he killed to enemies that were about 100 m away.

Of course, it is quite difficult for a bullet that had already traveled quite a distance away to be able to penetrate the skull of a human. But, Jaden had not hit the skull directly, but instead, he had actually shot the eyes of the two people.

Such a precision was completely unheard of. Well, it had been heard of, but it had never been heard of from a normal human. At least, until today…

Managing to suppress the surprise in his heart, John waved his hand, indicating that they should continue moving. As for Mouse, he looked at Jaden, clearly surprised.

Initially, when he first saw Jaden, he thought that perhaps John had only brought Jaden over so that he could experience the battlefield. And when John said that Jaden was skilled, he thought that John was just making things up.

But now, he understood. He understood the reason why John was able to accept Jaden as his bodyguard. His skills were obviously top-notch.

The three of them moved, and finally, they arrived at the window that two bodies were currently hanging, with half of their body out of the window.

"Let's be prepared to enter. We should eliminate this stronghold first, and get back so that Mouse can receive treatment." John said as he prepared to get inside the building through the window.
