The Bodyguard System

John was feeling a little frustrated. For the past few days, he was not allowed to leave the family residence. He was not allowed to go out of the core area of the residence, not to mention being allowed to go out into the city.

All of this started ever since the completion of that mission. He believed that it was his duty as part of the special unit to deal with the mercenaries. Even if the relationship of the mercenary that he had killed was special with another mercenary, he did not care.

At the end of it all, it was his duty to eliminate the mercenary. Since he had already killed the son, if the father came, he was going to kill the father as well.

But now, his family was extremely worried that he would end up being killed. That was the reason why they had made all these arrangements so that he could get a bodyguard that would be in charge of his security.

It was completely Ironical that someone that was supposed to be protecting others by dealing with the mercenaries, had to get a bodyguard to ensure his own security.

Of course, John believed that he had the capability to even deal with the second in command of the mercenary group. As long as he used both his strength and thinking capability, it should not be impossible for him to be able to eliminate the mercenary group's second in command.

The only reason why the mercenary vice leader seemed formidable was simply because of the force that he was having under him. Otherwise, if he was alone, John believed that it would not be a problem for him to be able to eliminate the other party.

Since this was his family's wish, John had no other choice but to comply, just make sure that they could at least sleep with a peace of mind. He did not believe that they did not understand that the job of being part of this special unit was risky, and death could come at any time.

Being strong himself, he did not want to have a bodyguard that was going to be weaker than himself. What was a weakling going to do? How was a weakling supposed to protect him? It might end up being the opposite, with him trying to protect the bodyguard instead.

It was exactly due to that reason that he had set the conditions of a bodyguard that he wanted. If someone wanted to be his bodyguard, they had to be strong enough to be able to protect him. And by being strong enough, that implied that they had to be stronger than himself.

Other than logically thinking that way, he wanted to prove to his family that there was no need for him to get a bodyguard. After all, he believed that other than the members of the special unit, there was no one else that could compete against him.

Well, there might be other people that were stronger than himself, but he did not believe that there was going to be any of them that was going to be willing to work as a bodyguard for him or his family.

It had already been a few days ever since his family had made a decision that he had to get a bodyguard. And so, on each day, in the morning, John had no other choice but to go and meet with those candidates that wanted to become his bodyguard.

John felt that this was just a waste of time. After all, he had already gone several times, but each and every time, he would beat those people, including those that possessed good reputation in the bodyguard market in just a matter of a few moves.

But what could he do? It was not as if he could go against his family. He wanted to continue doing the same thing for an entire week. And after a week, he would go ahead and tell his family that there was no one that was qualified enough to be able to become his bodyguard among the candidates that had presented themselves.

Jaden and the others had remained silent for quite a while, everyone doing their own thing. None of them was actually doing anything, as they were just staring at each other occasionally, or some were even staring at the ceiling.

Jaden was already getting bored, but he did not take out his phone to play with it. After all, according to the lessons that he had undergone about being a bodyguard, he could not play with a phone, especially in such a situation where it was considered as an interview.

Jaden looked towards the direction of the entrance, and noticed that there was a group of three people that was coming in. The one in the lead was a man with blonde hair, having shaved a crew cut. He was quite muscular, and possessed blue eyes, with a tall physique.

There was a domineering air around him as he walked in, and the moment that he entered, he made a few people, including the young lady to begin shifting in their seats. They felt a little nervous under his gaze as he was scrutinizing each and every one of them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jaden on the other hand was much more composed together with a few others. These other men had been in such a situation, including more dangerous situations, not to mention just being looked at. So, they were capable of maintaining their composure.

As for Jaden, he did not feel the need of reacting just to the gaze. After all, it was not as if the gaze was harmful, right?

John could not help but raise his brows slightly when he saw the people inside here. He had heard of a few of them, but others were completely new to him.

The thing that surprised him was the fact that there were two candidates that were extremely young. And the thing that surprised him the most was the fact that one of them was even a young lady, being the youngest of the group of 10 present inside this lobby area.

John could not help but feel a little exasperated. After all, he felt that it was kind of a waste of time for these young ones to come over and try to become his bodyguard.

As for that young lady, he looked extremely nervous. How was she supposed to become a bodyguard in such a condition? Being nervous indicated that she might end up not taking the right decision in a situation where she was experiencing a lot of pressure.

In his mind, he directly eliminated her. As for Jaden, he did not eliminate him directly, even though he thought that there was no possibility for Jaden to take the position as a bodyguard. After all, Jaden seemed much more composed than even some of those that looked older than himself.

John clapped his hands, making sure that everyone was paying attention towards him. He coughed slightly to clear his throat, before he began speaking.

"The 10 of you have gathered here because you have the same aim, which is to become my bodyguard. I am not someone that is going to take a weakling as my bodyguard.

For a person like me, not just anybody can become a bodyguard. You have to have the capabilities of becoming one. I don't want a situation where I would be the one saving you in case we face danger, instead of vice versa.

For that reason, I set the conditions for becoming my bodyguard to being that you have to defeat me. Among you, if you already know that you don't have the capability of defeating me, I hope that you don't waste your time and mine, and just leave." John said in a calm tone as he looked at the group.

He waited for a few seconds, but nobody rose to their feet. He was not surprised, considering that the condition was already stated during the time that they were looking for bodyguards.

Since this group of people came, it was clear that they already knew about this condition, and if there was one that was going to leave, then that person might have just come over here to cause trouble, or had somehow lost their confidence after coming and seeing him.

"Okay then. Since you all believe that you can beat me, let's go to the ring. I don't want to speak too much, and let's allow our strength to do the talking." John said before turning around.

Jaden and the others immediately got up, and followed behind John. They did not head towards another building, but instead, they went around, going behind this building.

The moment that they got behind the building, Jaden realized that there was another building there. This building was completely normal, without any floors. It seemed that it was an area where people trained in combat, considering that the moment that they entered, Jaden saw several equipment that were used for training.

At the very center of the room, there was a wide open space that was made in such a way that it looked like a ring. John walked directly to the center of the room before looking towards the group of 10 that had followed in.

"In order to save time, I would have wanted to fight all of you together. But because each and every one of you believe that they have the strength to defeat me, and I can only accept a single bodyguard who is stronger than me, and not than him, you will have to fight me one by one. So, who is going to come first?" John asked as he looked at the group.
