The Bodyguard System

Considering that he was no longer being attacked, Jaden could finally focus on finding the location of the sniper. But just to be sure that the sniper was not currently aiming in his current location, Jaden continued remaining inside the bushes without making any further movements.

A few seconds later, he suddenly heard the sound of the gunshot once again. This time, he realized that the sound was coming from a hill that was not that far away from where they currently were.

It was clear that the sniper had not yet realized that Jaden had already moved from behind the tree, and was busy trying to take down the tree.

After the next shot, Jaden was able to clearly locate the sniper. With that, he immediately begin moving. But he maintained cautiousness, making sure that he tried as much as possible to hide himself and his movements.

He was not sure how many enemies were currently here. So, it was better for him to be careful as he moved, as he might end up being attacked out of nowhere, if he was not prepared.

Other than the sniper, Jaden could clearly remember the person who had drove the car, bringing Scarlet over. That guy had entered into the wooden cabin, and Jaden wanted to deal with that guy last.

Thinking of that, Jaden did not waste any more time. He rushed towards the location of the sniper, while hiding. In his mind, he understood that he had to eliminate this sniper as fast as possible, before getting back to where he had put Scarlet.

He was not sure on how long it was going to take her to wake up. And if she suddenly woke up, and ended up attracting the attention of the enemy, she might be in deep trouble.

About 2 minutes later, Jaden finally arrived in the area where the sniper was. Then, he used the appearance shifting watch, and transformed into a bear.

He was having a plan of his own, but he was spotted by the sniper who seemed to be running away, having already noticed that there was something unusual. This immediately put a halt to the plan that Jaden was having.

Jaden had no other choice but to deal with the sniper. He was able to easily take care of the sniper, after dodging the attack from him.

Just like all the others, this sniper was having a piece of cloth that was covering the lower part of his face. But after Jaden who was currently in a bear form attacked, the cloth was removed, revealing his face.

Jaden did not care about who this guy was, but since he was the one that was the main culprit of trying to kill him, Jaden was not going to spare him. So, he went ahead and killed him, and only left after he had confirmed that the sniper was dead.

He rushed towards the direction of the wooden cabin. He was not sure about the position of the person who had driven the car over, but no matter the position, that guy had to be taken down as well.

Jaden believed that this group was a group of mercenaries. Even though he was not sure about it, still, he believed that they might have been hired to either deal with him, or deal with Scarlet.

And if that was the case, Jaden already had someone in mind for each probability. If this was a group of mercenaries that had come to deal with him, then the main culprit might be Peter.

Josephine might also be involved in this, but Jaden did not think that she had much connections to be able to hire a group of mercenaries that possessed such incredible weapons.

And, just by the driving skills that one of them possessed, together with the weapons and how good the sniper was, it was clear that they were not just a small group of mercenaries. Instead, they must be some of those most expensive mercenaries that had experienced many battles.

And if they had targeted Scarlet, Jaden believed that it was someone from the Williams family. He was not sure who it might be specifically, but so far, for the time that he had been together with Scarlet as her bodyguard, he could tell that the Williams were the only ones that could target her to this extent.

A few minutes later, Jaden arrived in front of the door of the wooden cabin. He had already transformed back into his normal appearance.

It could be said that he had already wasted two chances of using the appearance shifting watch for this month, but Jaden did not care about that. In any case, to him, as long as he completed the aim of coming over, then it was all worth it.

It was currently August 13th, implying that Jaden initially possessed five chances of using the appearance shift watch. But with the two chances gone, only three chances remained, and Jaden was not intending to use them, unless there was a need for him to.

The door of the wooden cabin was currently closed. Jaden was not sure if there was a person inside or not. So, before trying to enter into the wooden cabin, he tried listening.

And a few breaths later, he could hear the sound of breathing coming from inside. From the rhythm, he could immediately tell that there was only a single person inside.

Additionally, it seemed that this person was a little tensed. Even though he was trying as much as possible to hold back his breath, that was already an indication that he was currently worried.

Jaden managed to get the location of the person inside. He was yet to be sure if it was the same person who had brought over Scarlet or not. Nonetheless, he had to enter into the cabin first.

And, it was not impossible for the person inside to have already set several traps while waiting for him. So, Jaden hesitated for a moment, before abruptly pushing the door open.

The moment that he pushed open the door, he moved back, making a distance between him and the door. Additionally, he made sure that with the door open, even if there was a person that was waiting near the door, they would not be able to see him.

On the other hand, inside the cabin, there was a man who was currently having a tensed expression on his face. He was holding a pistol in his hand, aiming towards the window.

Then, he was surprised when the door was opened. According to his experience, considering that the door was currently closed, most of the people would try coming into the wooden cabin through the only other entrance, the window.

But, he had not expected that the one that was coming over was actually going to use the door instead of the window. If they had come through the window, he would have already pulled the trigger several times, raining bullets on them.

Nonetheless, he managed to react, pointing his gun towards the door. But, he was surprised when he realized that there was nobody there. As he was getting a little more anxious, he suddenly felt something approaching from outside.

And just as he was about to turn around, to look towards the window, something that made his eyes widen in disbelief happened.

Bang!

The wooden wall of the cabin was suddenly smashed by something. Then, within the splinters of wood, a figure of a person suddenly rushed towards him.

Considering that he himself was not that far away from the wall, several of the wooden splinters managed to hurt him. Several cuts were formed on his face.

And even before he could try to touch the areas that had been cut, and were already beginning to bleed, the figure of a human rushed towards him. Then, he was grabbed by the throat, before the gun in his hand was snatched away.

Bam!

His back smashed heavily onto the wall on the other side of the cabin. The cabin itself was almost empty, with only a table, and a few chairs around it. There was nothing else other than those.

Jaden on the other hand glared at the person that he was currently holding by the throat. There was killing intent in his eyes, as he stared directly into the eyes of the other party.

The man that Jaden was gripping was already panicking. It was not only due to the blood that had already began flowing from his face, but because he was also feeling that he was beginning to suffocate.

The grip around his neck was too tight for him to be able to breathe. He had already began kicking around, trying to make Jaden to release him. But no matter how much he tried, he was not able to make Jaden budge.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you give me the response that I want, I might consider letting you go. But if you don't give me the response, I'm going to crush your neck, killing you on the spot." Jaden suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

Even though it was extremely difficult for him, the man managed to nod his head. For him, his life was the most important thing here. What was the use of him keeping secrets if he was going to die anyway?

When Jaden realized that the man seemed to be willing to cooperate, he asked the first question. This was something that Jaden really wanted to know, to understand who he was dealing with. "Who are you guys, and how many are you?"
