The Bodyguard System

The two people had not anticipated something like this from Jaden. But despite that, Steel managed a smile when he saw this.

"That was completely unexpected. I don't know what method you used in order to stop the first attack. But this time, you have really exposed the ability that you possess. It seems that you are a mutant that has improved strength?" Steel said as he looked at Jaden curiously.

Jaden on the other hand did not respond. Instead, he was currently trying to pay attention to the two people that were currently hiding. Those two had not exposed themselves, it was just that they had never expected that Jaden's sense of hearing was not ordinary.

Even though they were quite a distance away, and Jaden could easily tell the direction that they were currently at, he did not look towards the direction. He understood that by looking towards them, he would alarm them, telling them that he already knew about their presence.

Currently, he was not really sure about his full capability. So, it was better for them to continue underestimating him, and not attacking him at the same time. That way, he would be able to deal with one of them at first, before dealing with the others.

If they attacked him at the same time, and it turned out that he was not capable of dealing with all of them at the same time, things would get a little more complicated.

Additionally, he was obviously worried about John. Currently, he was here as John's bodyguard. But someone had targeted him, which was something that had also brought John in trouble.

This was something that a bodyguard was not supposed to do. In fact, it was supposed to be vice versa. But what could he do? Jaden had enemies, and it was inevitable that he would have to face them.

And from the looks of it, it seemed that he would have to start facing them right now. Jaden just hope that he was not going to face them all at the same time, so that he could still get a little more time to develop a little more than how he was now.

But he understood that this was going to be a little difficult, especially after this day. It was not as if he was going to allow these three to kill him. And, if he overwhelmed them, he was obviously not going to allow them to leave. Anyone that tried to kill him, Jaden would kill them in return.

When Jaden did not respond, Steel did not seem to mind at all. He just continued, "I'm quite curious. Between the two of us, who is stronger? Though, you should be prepared to die. Other than the fact that I am strong, I have stronger defense as well. It ain't something that you can handle with your bare hands."

Jaden was slightly irritated by the rough voice that was coming from Steel. It seemed that after this guy had transformed into this form, his voice box was also affected. That was the reason why his voice gave them feeling of scratching.

Jaden was obviously not willing to listen to what this guy had to say. Instead, he was trying to pay attention to the other two that were talking. They were giving him valuable information about what he was dealing with.

It was just that until now, even though the two of them had been speaking, they were not talking about anything important. And even after the noise that had been produced by Jaden destroying the car's door, those two did not look their way at all.

It seemed that they had quite some confidence in this guy. That was the reason why they continued bantering like a couple, about who was stronger than the other.

Upon being ignored for the second time, Steel did not seem to be happy about it. So, he grunted and said, "It seems that you are looking down on me. I would have to teach you how to pay attention to your enemy when they are standing in front of you with the intention of killing you."

Immediately after Steel said those words, he immediately attacked. He clenched his fist, before punching towards Jaden's face.

Considering his height, he was looking down at Jaden who was shorter than himself. And the place that he could easily attack was obviously the face.

Additionally, Steel believed that as long as his attack landed, he would be able to blast Jaden's head into pieces, killing him on the spot. With that, he would be able to brag about killing a mutant with just a single attack.

Jaden immediately detected the moment that this guy attacked. Since those two were no longer talking about anything important, Jaden decided not to pay attention to what they were saying, but he still made sure to pay attention to their movements.

As for the attack that was heading for his face, Jaden did not panic. The reason behind that was simply because he felt that this attack was slow. As compared to the sneak attack that had been launched at him over a week ago, it was easy for Jaden to be able to react.

He simply twisted his head to the side, easily dodging the big punch. Immediately after that, Jaden grabbed the arm that had been used to attack him, before applying his strength, and pulling.

At the same time as he pulled, he moved slightly, shifting his back from facing the car, to facing another direction, towards the back of the car.

Steel had never anticipated that Jaden's speed would be that fast. He had thought that simply because Jaden also possessed incredible strength, he would be as slow as himself.

Then, the two of them would engage in a brawl, exchanging a punch for another, trying to see who was going to overwhelm the other, or who was stronger than the other party, or who possessed the stronger defense or both.

But before he could even react, he suddenly felt tremendous force pulling him. He suddenly lost control of his body, and he found himself actually lifted in the air.

And before he could even say a single word, he suddenly landed on his back, causing the ground to tremble tremendously. At the same time, the ground beneath him immediately gave way from the force that was used and his own weight.

Jaden looked at Steel was on the ground, while at the same time using his sense of hearing to pay attention to the other two. He noticed that the two of them seemed to have noticed something, and they were currently paying attention to the battle between him and Steel.

Steel on the other hand did not feel much from being slammed onto the ground. That was to be expected due to his high defense provided by his body turning into steel.

He managed to get up from the ground, looking at Jaden. At this moment, he immediately decided to take this battle seriously. It seemed that this opponent was not as easy as he had thought. It was clear that this was a guy that was fighting using his mind.

Additionally, he did not understand just how strong this guy was. Due to the fact that his body had turned into steel, it was clear that his weight had also increased. Currently, he weighed about a ton.

Was this guy strong enough to be able to lift and entire ton of weight? If that was the case, it was clear that his strength was completely above what they had expected.

But that was not something that Steel cared about at the moment. Instead, he really care about how embarrassed he had been, when he was easily taken down, when there were other people that were currently watching.

When he was coming over to attack, he had easily claimed that he was going to take down Jaden easily. But now, that was clearly not going to be the case.

"I will destroy you!" Steel, clearly angry from the fact that he had just been slammed onto the ground easily, said as he stared coldly at Jaden.

Bang! Bang! Bang!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Immediately after he said those words, with his heavy steps, he approached Jaden. His speed was obviously way above what someone would expect from such a huge body, but still, it was quite slow for a mutant, especially for someone like Jaden who had improved all of his parameters after taking several physique enhancing pills.

Jaden understood that they would have to fight a distance away from the car, but he had to be in a position to be able to intervene in case someone else tried to attack. That way, in case someone tried to attack John, he would be able to protect him.

At the same time, by fighting away from the car, he would be able to avoid the car being impacted, and John ending up being injured in the situation. That would obviously be irresponsible of him as a bodyguard.

When facing another punch that came from Steel, which was obviously faster than the previous one, Jaden still felt that there was not that much of a difference between the two of them.

He simply dodged once again by hitting his head to the side, but somehow, this guy immediately changed from attacking using a punch, and chopping downwards at Jaden's shoulder.

Jaden reacted quickly, approaching Steel, closing the distance between the two of them. With that, he was able to dodge the attack, and at the same time, he punched forward, towards Steel's guts.

Bang!

The moment that his attack connected, an explosion suddenly resounded within the forest.
