The Bodyguard System

Chapter 256: A Burden

She pointed the gun towards the man, and have finger was next to the trigger. She was hesitating to shoot, considering that the moment that she shot, she would immediately inform the enemy that she was here.

But if she did not shoot, the enemy would definitely shoot. After all, the guy that had come over was currently having an AK-47 rifle in his hand.

Angela only hesitated for a while, before she finally came to a decision. She had decided that if this guy tried to come over, she would definitely shoot. This way, she would immediately alert her colleagues that the gangsters were down here.

She had indeed made a mistake by not informing them before jumping down, and after she had come here, because she had not seen anybody, she did not inform them through the walkie-talkie that she was having.

And at this moment, it was obviously impossible for her to inform them, considering that if she spoke, she would immediately inform the gangster that she was here.

Angela was just about to pull the trigger when suddenly, the gangster stopped. He seemed to be looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Then, a few seconds later, he seemed not to have found what he was looking for. So, he was preparing to move forward. And when he was about to move forward, Angela was also about to shoot as well.

But just then, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of something approaching. Before the two of them could even react, the gangster suddenly had something collide against his forehead.

Thud!

The gangster collapsed onto the ground the moment that he was hit. Blood could be seen gashing from his forehead as his eyes remained wide open. In just a few seconds, after twitching for a while, he actually died.

Angela was stunned, as she continued remaining in place, not knowing what to do. She did not even realize how the gangster had died.

All that she noticed was that there was the sound of something approaching the fast speed. Then in the next moment, there was a sound, and a little while later, that gangster collapsed onto the ground. And by looking at him, she could immediately tell that he was already dead.

Angela did not try to approach. Instead, the moment that he regained her senses, she began looking around. Since this guy was dead, it was clear that there was someone that had killed him. Now, she was wondering who it was that had killed him.

And just as she was looking around, she suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder. Her body tensed up, and reflexively, she turned around, while being ready to pull the trigger.

But the moment that she turned around, she suddenly felt that the gun that she was tightly holding in her hand was suddenly grabbed. Then before she could react, it was pulled from her hand, nearly injuring her finger.

As for how the trigger had actually managed to escape her finger, when it was just next to it, she could not understand. But at this moment, she suddenly realized who it was that had come behind her.

She saw that Jaden was looking at her with a frown on his face. He was clearly displeased by what she had done. Even though she had not shot, it was clear that she was preparing to shoot.

And, Jaden was not willing to have the mission that he had been given by the system to fail. So, he would not allow anybody to increase the difficulty of the mission.

"What are you doing here?" Jaden asked in a low voice.

Angela finally came back to her senses upon hearing Jaden's question. For a moment, she was not sure on how to reply, before she responded, "I came here to look for you. It is too dangerous. We have to go back and come here as a team."

Just like Jaden, she was making sure that her voice was low. She was basically whispering to Jaden, and it would have been difficult for Jaden to hear, had it not been that he had incredible hearing due to the enhancement by the physique enhancing pill.

"I'm not willing to team up with those idiots. You are coming here without any strategy, without even thinking about who you are dealing with. You better go back. I will do this alone." Jaden replied.

"Are you calling us idiots?" Angela was obviously not happy with Jaden referring to her comrades as idiots. He was clearly referring to the entire group of police officers that had come over to deal with this group of gangsters as idiots. Since she was part of them, it was clear that he was calling her an idiot as well.

Jaden did not have the time to bother with her, as he immediately looked around. Then, while ignoring her, he began moving forward.

But he had only moved for a few meters when he suddenly realized that there was someone that was following him. The frown that was on his face suddenly deepened.

He was capable of moving around swiftly, and would be able to react to any situation, due to his incredible reflexes. But the same could not be said about Angela. So, Jaden was not happy with her following him.

He turned around and glared at her, before informing her, "I already told you to leave. Why are you following me? You are going to make things more difficult for me than they are already. You better go back and take care of your colleagues."

Angela wanted to retort upon hearing that Jaden was claiming that she was going to slow him down. But then, she stopped, when Jaden mentioned her colleagues up there.

Of course, she was worried about them. Many of them had been injured by the rocket that had been launched at them a while back. And it was clear that the enemy was already prepared, and this was definitely not going to be the last attack that they were going to launch at them.

But after thinking for a while, she said, "They can take care of themselves. I will go with you. I will be there to help in case you need help."

Even though she was saying this, she understood that they were definitely not capable of dealing with the enemies that were currently in the dark. Most of the police officers nowadays only joined the police academy, where they were taught the basics of fighting and using guns, before being deployed after a while within the academy.

This is completely different from the military that was being taught strategies and so on. So of course, it was impossible for them to be organized to deal with this group of enemies that was hidden.

In a direct confrontation, it would not be a problem for them to be able to deal with the gangsters, as they could just go ahead and shoot. But in this situation, where even the enemy possessed better weapons than them, they were clearly at a great disadvantage.

"Who said that I need your help? A little while back, you almost attracted all the gangsters around to come over here when you were about to shoot. If you continue following me, I'm afraid that you will make all the gangsters know that I am hunting them, and they will be prepared for me." Jaden replied with the frown on his face deepening.

Angela pursed her lips when she heard that. That was the truth. If she had actually decided to shoot, she might have saved herself, but still, she would have brought more danger to herself nonetheless.

It was only one gangster who had come over at that moment, but if she had killed him, he would have ended up attracting the rest of the gangsters. She did not know how many of them were there, but it would definitely not be a good idea to be attacked by all of them at once.

Jaden did not want to spend that much time talking to Angela. After all, he was not sure about the plan that the gangsters were having, and it would be better to eliminate them as soon as possible.

So, Jaden simply looked at Angela and said, "You better leave. Leave the rest to me. I will be back after I deal with them. Then, you can head to the building where the boss should be."

After saying those words, Jaden did not pay attention to Angela anymore. Instead, he disappeared into the bushes, leaving Angela behind. He had already heard movements a distance away, and he was heading there.

Angela wanted to follow, but she hesitated. She understood just from the way that Jaden was moving that she would definitely be a burden if she followed him.

If Jaden had not taken action back then, she would have definitely caused even more problems than they were currently facing. So, even though she was hesitant, she had no choice but to leave.

She looked into the direction that Jaden had disappeared into, before she turned around. She would have to make sure that the others were ready to give Jaden help, the moment that he needed it.

She could not allow him to deal with this alone, considering that this was the mission that was given to them. Even though she had hired him, it was because she wanted him to help them, and not for him to deal with them alone.

So, she returned to the top as fast as she could. And the moment that she got there, she was almost attacked by a police that was currently tense.

It was a good thing that she spoke up before the guy fired at her. So, when everyone realized that she was the one that had come over, it was then that they realized that she had somehow disappeared.

Angela did not care much about that, as she immediately explained to the leader about what had happened, and what Jaden was currently doing.
