The Bodyguard System

Of course, anybody would be shocked by seeing what had happened here. Jaden was not an exception. It might be true that he had experienced a lot of things during the time that he was trying to survive, but they were not at the level like this.

Something like this was what he had seen during the time that he was watching movies back then. He had only seen them in science fiction and fantasy movies. But now, he was able to see it in real life.

Upon hearing Jaden\'s response, the old man placed his hands behind his back. He simply nodded and said, "You know Jaden, you are quite an honest person. For others, they would have definitely tried to rush out of this place. So, why don\'t you tell me why you did not leave? I\'m quite curious."

Jaden was slightly stunned by the question. Still, he managed to respond, "Well, I\'m pretty sure that even if I try to leave, if you don\'t want me to get out of here, I will definitely not be able to do that. Additionally, I don\'t think that we are enemies. And for that reason, I don\'t really have any reason to fear you."

That\'s right. Jaden never felt any kind of malice coming from the old man. So, he was at least at ease to be able to stay around the old man. Still, he was just surprised, and that was what he was trying to deal with at the moment.

"That\'s good. It seems that I did not think of you wrongly. But I would like to tell you something, not everybody with an ability like this is a friend. Others will definitely not hesitate to kill you, even if they are not going to get any benefit from it." The old man stated.

As he said those words, there was killing intent in his eyes. At that moment, Jaden suddenly felt suffocated. This amount of killing intent was too thick. This was something that he had never experienced before.

When the old man noticed that Jaden was a little uncomfortable, he immediately retracted the killing intent. At the same time, he simply let out a sigh and said, "Jaden, you don\'t have to worry much about this. No matter what, I don\'t think that you are going to be involved in these issues anyway."

While Jaden was confused, the old man continued, "You know, before I gained this ability that I have, I was a person on a death bed. I was sick, I was suffering from a terminal disease. It was lung cancer, and it had already reached the final stage.

At that time, it was impossible for me to be healed. Then, some things happened, and in the end, not only was I saved, but I even gained this ability. Of course, I only gained the ability because I took the risk.

I know you have heard of it. Telekinesis, an ability to be able to control things using the mind. That is the ability that I have. For me, I have been having this ability for more than 5 years.

During the first few years, I used this ability of mine to kill. I killed many people, while taking revenge for what they had done to me back then when I had yet to get this ability. They killed everybody that I knew, and I was the only person surviving.

The only reason why I survived was simply because I was not at home at that time. I was in the hospital due to the disease that I was suffering. But this was something that saved me, still, it was still something that had ended up making me lose my entire family.

I might not be the cause of it, still, it would have been better if I had not been sick. It was simply because I was so sick that they had ended up staying in that shabby place.

It was the money that was used for my treatment that would have enabled them to live in another place. If they had lived in another place, they would have definitely survived that day.

But, at least, I took revenge for them, and for that, I do believe that their souls can finally rest in peace. I took revenge for them, not just the few of them, but for the rest of the people that were also killed.

That is the reason why you felt the killing intent from me. Jaden, I can tell you, I killed more than a few hundred people. Just the fact that I have killed more than 50 of them here is enough to tell you that I do have the ability to kill hundreds." The old man said, as he looked at Jaden.

Jaden suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Until today, Jaden had only killed a single person. Still, he did not feel comfortable about it, despite the fact that it was the other party that came looking for him first.

Even though today he was prepared to kill second tiger and his gang, that did not imply that he was going to be comfortable with it. Despite not being comfortable with killing other people, Jaden had no choice.

They wanted to kill him and the people next to him, and so, he had no choice but to take action against them. Taking them to the police? That was a great joke. With how corrupt the police were in this city, it was impossible for him to be able to make sure that this group of gangsters was punished for the mistakes that they had done.

Of course, Jaden understood that second tiger and his gang had definitely killed many people. Many innocent lives had definitely suffered in the hands of these people. So, even if he killed them, he would not feel too bad about it.

But now, the old man was telling him that he had actually killed hundreds of people? What kind of feeling was that? Jaden did not know.

While Jaden was trying to think of that, the old man continued, "You know, when I told you that I really wanted to live a normal life, I was not joking. Everyday, I was tormented by the image that I had seen, where my family had died.

That\'s right, even though I was in the hospital at that time, I was still given a photo of what had happened there. I had seen it all.

Other than that, my mind is sometimes tortured by the scene where I killed those people. When I took action against them, it was due to the anger that I was having. I was thirsty for revenge.

I had to ensure that those that were related to the death of my family were all killed. They did not deserve to live in this world, when my family had been eliminated.

Finally, despite feeling a sense of peace in my heart after I had accomplished that, I was not completely free. Instead, I was still tortured by the incident where I was killing those people.

You know, sometimes, I was wondering if what I had done back then was the right thing to do. It was just that I kept on convincing myself that I had done the right thing. And it\'s true, they deserve it. They had killed many people, and they deserved to be killed.

This was something that had to be done. It was not just for me, but for the rest of the world. That kind of scum was not supposed to continue living in this world, causing more chaos…" As he reached this point, the old man finally stopped talking for a moment.

It seemed that he had fallen into a moment of contemplation. And a few seconds later, he continued, "You know, you might be wondering, if I was having much trouble when it came to dealing with that group of people back then, why is it that I have just killed these people right now?"

Jaden nodded in response to the question. That was something that he was asking himself. If the old man felt uncomfortable after killing that group of people, despite knowing that they were evil, why was it that he had decisively killed the tiger gang?

"Haha. That was something that would have happened a little while ago. Before they took action against me, bringing me here and torturing me a little, while waiting for you, I would have definitely just broken a few limbs of theirs.

But the moment that they talked about killing you and me, that was when I changed everything. This group did not deserve to live. It was while I was here, that I finally came to accept my actions back then.

If this group of people continued living, then many lives would be lost. It would be better to get rid of a few lives, while saving many.

After all, they not only kill people by directly shooting at them, or stabbing them with knives, instead, they kill others by destroying their families, destroying their jobs, and many more vicious actions." The old man stated, as he turned around and looked outside the window once again.

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?"
