The Bodyguard System

Chapter 182: Goodbyes, Scott Taylor

Jaden remained silent for a while, before he finally asked, "Then, if you were that powerful, why was it that you waited until I came here, before you finally demonstrated the ability to destroy the entire gang?"

That's right. Jaden had realized that the old man did not need his help at all. In fact, the old man would not have been kidnapped in case he wanted. It was clear that the old man was the one that had allowed this gang to kidnap him.

But Jaden did not understand the purpose behind that. If you can resist being kidnapped, why allow yourself being kidnapped? Even if it was true that he did not want to show the ability, why show it right now?

To him, it did not make any sense at all. He was failing to understand the purpose of the old man, and why he had shown the ability that he possessed to Jaden.

Upon hearing Jaden's question, the old man did not respond immediately. Instead, he continued looking out the window, looking towards the buildings in the distance, and the high-rise buildings in the city. Explore the story on m-vl-em,py-r

After a while, he finally spoke up. "You know, I was just trying to test what kind of person you are. Ever since we met, I felt that you might be a kind person. It was just that sometimes you know, the impression that is given is not what it really is.

A person might give you an impression that they are a good person, but in the end, you find that they are among the most evil people in the world. At the same time, another person might give you a bad impression, but you end up finding that they are good.

So, for me to verify, I had no choice but to do this. Well, I was not the one that had ended up asking this group of gangsters to come and kidnap me. Let's say, it is something that just happened, and I just seized the chance.

I wanted to know if you would actually come here. Previously, you did not hesitate to take me to the hospital when I was injured. And now, it has been proven that my intuition about you was not wrong.

Despite knowing that this group of gangsters was not good news, you still came over. You definitely don't have the ability to deal with them, still, you came without hesitation."

Jaden was left speechless after hearing the last statement from the old man. He did not have the ability of dealing with this group of gangsters?

It might be true that he did not have the ability of dealing with this group of gangsters in the same way the old man did, but that did not imply that he would not be able to do it.

The only problem would occur only if this group of gangsters possessed many guns. At that time, it was clear that Jaden would be having trouble to deal with them. But so far, it was clear that second tiger did not come with more than one gun.

In this situation, it was just a matter of him dealing with a single person that was having a gun, before dealing with the mob. With his reflexes, it was not impossible for him to be able to deal with them.

At the same time, Jaden thought that perhaps the old man did not know about his improved physical ability. During the time that he was released from the binding placed on him, it was true that he moved at a high speed, but he had not moved at his full speed at all.

The moment that he began moving, he immediately tried to restrain his movements. It was just that since it was abrupt, and Jaden had not prepared himself, he ended up stumbling forward.

Still, Jaden did not say anything about it. In any case, it was a good thing that the old man did not know about the fact that Jaden was quite strong. After all, Jaden did not have an explanation to give to the old man on why he was this strong.

Of course, he could simply use the excuse of the organization that was mentioned by the Johnson family, but still, Jaden did not even know much about the organization, other than what was mentioned by the system and Clifford.

For that reason, if he tried making things up, and this old man actually knew much about that organization, he would be in trouble. Additionally, it was better for him not to talk about it. After all, he did not want to reveal anything about the system.

The old man did not know what Jaden was thinking, and just continued, "Well, since you came, that proves that you are quite a good person. I have decided, you will be taking that apartment block of mine. Even though it is not something big, still, you can have it.

I have left a few documents with my signature on them back in my apartment. All that you have to do is to put your signature on the documents, before the transfer of the property is completed.

With that apartment block, it should not be difficult for you to be able to live a simple life. You should not continue struggling like you did before."

Then, the old man looked at the clothes that Jaden was wearing. It was clear that the clothes that Jaden was wearing right now were way better as compared to the ones that he was wearing before.

During the time that he was struggling, he barely had a few clothes. He was trying as much as possible to save the money. After all, he did not know when he would end up losing the job that he would be doing at that time, and not being paid.

As for the matter of him pursuing the payment, all of them had ended up with a failure the previous times that he had tried. So, he had already given up on that.

But he did not expect that he was going to get a system, something that enabled him to get stronger, and was even giving him properties and much more things that improve his standard of living.

Even though he had not purchased any more clothes other than the ones that had been purchased for him during the time that he was taking over the duty of a bodyguard in the Johnson family, still, these clothes were quite good.

"You should not live off a woman. That girlfriend of yours sure is good, and I do believe that her family is quite rich. Of course, I already know that it is her family that had transferred me into The Restoration hospital for the treatment.

Still, you should be a man. You cannot depend on a woman. You are definitely going to embarrass us as men, if you depend on your girlfriend's money. So, with this apartment block, I'm pretty sure that you will be able to make something out of it.

As for the money that you will be getting from the rent, you will decide on what to do with it. Still, I do believe that you will do something reasonable with it. You will not enter into drugs, right?" The old man asked as he looked directly into Jaden's eyes. He was no longer facing outside the building, instead, he was looking straight at Jaden.

Jaden: (???)!

What the heck was this old man talking about? He was depending on his girlfriend to survive? When did he have a girlfriend?

Jaden was rendered completely speechless by the old man's words. At this moment, his mind was spinning, while trying to think about what the old man was referring to.

Finally, he understood. Previously, when he had gone to visit the old man in the hospital together with Scarlet, the old man thought that the two of them were in a relationship. At that time, he told Jaden to not let go of her.

At that time, Jaden thought that the old man was simply joking. But now, it seems that the old man was quite serious about it.

It was just that the old man did not know that Jaden and Scarlet were not in a relationship at all. In fact, Jaden had never considered about the two of them getting in a relationship.

It might be true that it was Clifford who had paid for the hospital bills at that time, but it was not because he was his future son-in-law. Instead, it was simply because Jaden was working for them.

Jaden was just about to refute what the old man had said, when the old man raised his hand. Jaden immediately stopped, and did not say what he was having in mind, considering that the old man had already began speaking.

"All of that aside, I am quite sure that you are curious about my identity. My full name is Scott Taylor. As for my origin, I no longer have one, ever since my family was wiped out.

Though, this is going to be the last time that we are going to interact. It is time for me to tell you goodbye. I will be leaving. I can no longer continue staying here, especially the moment that I revealed my ability.

I have already dealt with this group of gangsters, and so, your life should not be that difficult. So, make sure that you get out of this place as soon as possible. You don't want them to find you here, because you will be in deep trouble if they find you."
