The Bodyguard System

Chapter 180: Supernatural, Completely Wiped Out

"I am done with you! Now die!" Second tiger shouted, as he immediately pulled the trigger of the gun.

Jaden was ready to make a move. The moment that he noticed that second tiger was about to pull the trigger, his left leg exerted strength on the ground beneath him, and he was ready to launch himself forward.

It was just that a moment before he could do that, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong. Immediately, his actions stopped. Rather, he did not stop by himself, instead, he felt like he was completely restricted in that place.

It was as if the air around him was suddenly wrapped around him, and no matter how much he tried, he could not move. At that moment, Jaden felt completely helpless.

Despite the strength that he possessed, he felt like no matter what, he could not resist. Even though the air around him was compressing itself, restricting his movements, it did not harm him at all.

Jaden suddenly felt despair in his heart. With his movements restricted, there was no way that he could stop second tiger from pulling the trigger. He was not sure about what was happening, and neither did he care about it for the time being.

Instead, he simply focused on trying to break through the restriction, so that he could get to the old man. But somehow, no matter what, he could not do that.

It was just that while Jaden thought that it was too late for him to do anything, the sound of the gun going off did not reach his ears at all. This immediately made him feel that there was something completely wrong here.

He looked towards second tiger, only to see that second tiger's movements had frozen in place. Even though his finger was already on the trigger, he did not pull.

Second tiger's eyes were currently wide open, and from his angle, Jaden could see that there was horror in them. It was as if he had experienced something that was completely out of this world.

Jaden did not understand, but still, he felt that perhaps second tiger had experienced something like himself, perhaps he was also being restricted.

Just as Jaden was still contemplating on what was happening, the old man made a move. In the room, he was the only person that was moving, while all the others remained in position. The only movement that they could make was blinking, and nothing more than that.

Even the people at the door could not do anything. In fact, Jaden felt like he could not speak, as if there was something that was blocking his voice from coming out.

"Ha! I had tried so much. You know, I enjoyed living for these years while hidden. You know, for a person like me, it is not that easy to be able to live a normal life." The old man said with a depressed sigh.

Jaden was dumbfounded by what the old man was saying. What the heck was this old man talking about? Additionally, why was he extremely calm, while everybody else could not move? Could it be that this incident was somehow related to him?

But how was that possible? Was something like this really possible to happen? Jaden was filled with many questions, but he did not have any answer to them.

The old man looked at Jaden, before he brought his hands forward. Jaden did not know when the old man had managed to break the ropes that were used to tie his hands behind his back, still, he did not care about that for the time being.

The old man went ahead and snapped his fingers. The moment that he did that, Jaden suddenly felt that the restrictions around him had disappeared. He could finally move again.

Since he had already exerted strength on the ground, Jaden suddenly felt an explosive force throwing him up. At the same time, he rushed forward, and only managed to stop a little before he collided with the old man.

It seemed that whatever had been used to stop him, preventing him from moving before, did not stop his movements at all. It was like the space around him was frozen, and so was the time. So, at the moment that the restriction was removed, his actions resumed from where they had stopped.

The old man completely ignored Jaden who was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, and instead, he walked towards second tiger. At this moment, second tiger was nearly passing out from the pressure that he was experiencing.

A little while ago, just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt that the air around him was compressed on his body. In the next moment, he could not move at all. He was completely restricted, and he could not make even little movements with his fingers.

The only thing that he could do was blinking, but after a while, he could no longer blink. Even his eyelids felt extremely heavy, after experiencing the pressure.

And as time continued going by, he felt that the air was compressing his body. His chest felt completely stuffed. He was feeling that it was getting more and more difficult for him to be able to breath.

Finally, a few seconds later, he suddenly felt that his internal organs were being compressed. It felt like they were going to burst in the next moment, and at that moment, he experienced tremendous pain all over his body.

Just a little after he experienced the pain all over his body, his seven orifices suddenly began bleeding. The eyes, the nose, the ears, and the corner of his mouth both leaked blood.

Then in the next moment, his eyes suddenly began bulging. A little while later, they burst into a bloody mist. Second tiger on the other hand finally fell onto the ground, and breathed his last.

Just like that, second tiger was dead. Just as Jaden was confused about what was happening, the same thing happened to the rest of the people around, including the person inside the room, and those at the door.

All of them suddenly began collapsing onto the ground one after the other, after a small explosion. Even though the explosion was not that loud, with many small explosions together, it was bound to cause a little commotion.

Jaden was horrified at this moment. He did not understand what kind of magic was being used in this incident, but he felt that he was lucky that he was not among the people that were dying left and right.

There was a moment of silence, and only Jaden and the old man were currently standing. The smell of blood had already spread all over the room, and Jaden was feeling a little uncomfortable in the presence of blood.

Still, he did not dare to get out of this place. After all, he had already come to understand that everything that was happening around him was related to the old man.

The old man on the other hand seemed completely nonchalant about what had happened. Instead, he looked at Jaden and asked, "Are you afraid Jaden?"

Jaden nodded his head. Who in the right mind would not be afraid if something like this happened. After all, seeing people suddenly collapsing onto the ground and dying with their eyes bursting was definitely not something usual.

Even though he believed that he was strong, he was definitely not strong enough to be able to resist something like this. Additionally, previously, even he himself had been held in place, and had only been released a while later.

Upon hearing Jaden's response, the old man nodded. Then he said, "I guess that is to be expected. After all, this is something that normal people can never get used to."

After saying those words, the old man did not say anything anymore. Instead, he moved towards the window present within the room, and looked outside.

Jaden did not speak, and neither did he try to leave. Instead, he continued staying in place, while waiting for the old man to say something. Of course, he did not believe that he could leave. Additionally, since the old man did not show any kind of malice towards him, there was no need for him to escape, right?

The silence was maintained for more than a minute, before the old man finally stopped looking outside, and looked at Jaden. He looked directly into Jaden's eyes, but did not say anything, until a few seconds later.

"Jaden, you know, I do remember that I told you that this world is not simple. You might not remember it, but I told you something like this a little while after you had come to live in my apartment. Do you remember that?" The old man suddenly questioned.

Jaden thought about it, and he finally remembered. It was at a certain point, just a month after he had moved into the apartment building, when he came back injured.

At that time, the old man looked at him and sighed before he said, "Jaden, this world of ours is not simple. You know, sometimes I usually look at how you live, and I feel like it is quite good. Still, this kind of life is not meant for me."

At that time, Jaden did not understand what the old man was meaning. Additionally, he did not even bother to ask the old man to explain the meaning of his words. But now, he felt like he was finally understanding.

"That's right. I can remember." Jaden responded.

"What do you think of me? Do you think that I am normal? With my presence here, it is clear that this world is not simple, right?" The old man asked with a smile.
