The Bodyguard System

Chapter 284: The AI's Capabilities

{Master, I have completed uploading myself to the new device. I should be able to fully function now.}

Jaden was happy upon hearing that. Since the AI had already been installed in the new device, and was even capable of functioning fully, then that was going to be good.

As he thought of that, Jaden suddenly asked, "What is the limit of your ability while being in this device?"

{After merging with the AI that had been within this device, my abilities have improved slightly. Nonetheless, even if I go all out, I will not be able to do any damage to this device. There is still a large room for improvement.}

{From this, even if I improve by a few levels, it should not be impossible for me to continue operating fully while within this device.}

'As expected of the upgrade card.' Jaden thought to himself upon hearing that.

"Okay, the first thing that I would like you to help me with is to get all the information about Nightstar Security company, including the strengths, weaknesses, allies, competitors, and possible methods of enabling the company reach another level." Jaden instructed.

{Right away, master.}

After that response from the AI, there was silence. And thinking that this was going to take the AI a while for it to complete the task, Jaden decided to start looking for the information about being a bodyguard.

But, he had just taken the first step when the AI spoke, startling him.

{Master, I have completed the task. Should I start talking about the information or transfer the information to your email?}

Jaden was left speechless upon hearing that. How long had it been? It had been less than five seconds since he had given the task. But somehow, it had already been completed.

"Seriously?" Jaden asked, still finding it difficult to believe this.

In response to this, the AI simple responded, {Should I send the information to the master in the detailed form or the summary form?}

When he received that question, Jaden finally understood that the AI was not joking at all. It had actually completed the task already.

"What's the difference between them?" Jaden asked, a little curious about the response from the AI.

{The detailed information will contain the history, hypothesis, people involved and their lives, together with other detailed information on each and everything and everyone that has ever been involved with this company to the details, including the date of birth, place of birth, time and many more.}

{As for the summary, it will involve only the things that are considered as important, while leaving the unnecessary details aside, unless master wants to know them.}

Jaden was rendered speechless once again. He had not expected such a result at all. He had thought that the AI had only gotten the basic information of what he wanted to know, but from the looks of it, that was not the case.

It had managed to get the information of everything that involved Nightstar Security company! That was just too overpowered from the AI.

Just as Jaden thought of that, he could not help but have a daring thought. What if he used a technology upgrade card on the AI of this level? What would happen then?

As he questioned himself of that, Jaden ended up shaking his head. There was no need for him to do that, at least for the time being. And, he was not even sure about the results that would be produced the moment that he went through with that thought.

"There is no need for you to give me the information. You can instead analyze the information and look for the best strategy that can be used to improve the company in the shortest time possible." Jaden responded after a moment of thought.

{Sure. The best and most efficient method of making sure that Nightstar Security company becomes the monopoly of the security industry in this city is to simply buy off the other companies.}

{Master can use the information that he can get from me in order to blackmail them to accepting to sell the shares of their companies, even if they are reluctant to. And, each and every company has its own black spots, which can be exploited as well.}

Jaden was left dumbfounded again by the AI. This method that had been provided by the AI was actually the most effective if he really wanted to be the monopoly of the security industry in this city.

But, this was definitely not the method that Jaden would like to use. Even though he understood that the business world was never clean, he still wanted to use the right methods to acquire what he wanted.

As of the AI could already tell what Jaden was thinking, it spoke up. {Master does not really have to care too much about conscience when it comes to dealing with this group of people. According to the data that I have, all the owners and shareholders of all the security companies in this city have many dark secrets that would make master to despise them.}

When he heard that, Jaden immediately remembered that the AI had already gotten the information about the competitors. So, it was not a surprise that it already knew about those dark secrets.

Suddenly, Jaden thought of something and asked, "By the way, how much detailed information do you have on the competitors?"

{Full information including their families, with the information extending to details about the extended family members.}

"Just how did you get all that information?!" Jaden was amazed. And for a moment there, he thought that he felt that from the female mechanical voice, there was a hint of pride in it.

{I used both the websites for the companies in this world, together with the cameras used to monitor the streets and personal business or homes, as long as they are linked to a server that is online, phones and other electronic devices, together with the satellites.}

Jaden had nothing to say upon hearing all that. Nonetheless, all that Jaden could think about at this point was that the AI was amazing.

Since this was the case, Jaden decided that he would start dealing with this issue as soon as possible. But of course, he had to get the money that was required for that first.

"Do you have any suggestions for legal methods of earning money fast?" Jaden asked as he emphasized on the word 'legal'.

{Yes master. There are several methods that can be used to earn money at a faster speed. But the best one for now that can yield results in a short time would be the stock market.}

Jaden had already thought of using the stock market in order to get money faster. He understood that the stock market was where people could earn a great fortune in a span of a few seconds, but might fall from being millionaires to being into big debts in a few seconds as well.

He had thought of using the mastery ability in order to gain skills that were related to this field but in the end, he decided against it, at least for the time being.

The stock market always carried a risk, no matter how much skilled and experienced one was. So, it would obviously take quite some time or immense luck for Jaden to be able to make money from there.

"I currently don't have the skills of earning big in the stock market. Do you perhaps have another method?" Jaden asked in a resigned voice.

{There are other methods available, but I would still recommend for master to use the stock market. Even if master does not have the necessary skills for that, I can help with that as it's quite easy for me to control the market.}

Upon hearing that, Jaden raised his brows slightly. He thought about the abilities that this AI possessed and though that it was possible for it to do as it had said.

"Okay then. Try to make as much money as possible within the time that is remaining before the market closes. But, make sure that you don't go too far to the extend that you will attract too much attention to me." Jaden instructed.

{Sure. I will carry out that task immediately. I'll start by creating a trading account for you. And…done.}

Jaden had no words, but he was already beginning to get used to the speed at which the AI did things. So, he decided to focus on other things.

It was just then that he remembered something else. "Can you help me get the information that is required for me to be able to gain the skills of being the best bodyguard in the world?"

{Absolutely. The information will be ready in a few seconds.} The AI responded, surprising Jaden once again.

For something like getting the information about Nightstar Security company, the AI had only taken less than five seconds. But for something as simple as becoming the best bodyguard in the world, it was taking a few seconds, when it was supposed to be way simpler.

While Jaden was in thought, ten seconds elapsed before the AI spoke up. {Master, the information has been collected, analyzed and sorted in a way that it will be easy for master to grasp the information. Demonstrations in the form of videos are also available with simulations of different situations that a client might face while being guarded by a bodyguard.}

{Master can access this information from this device. Though, it would have been better if master would have gotten access to a higher technology as that would have enabled me to transfer the knowledge to you without needing you to go through all the information one by one.}
