The Bodyguard System

"Yeah, I mind. I still have a few things that I need to take care of. So, goodbye." Jaden responded, as he went around Kevin, intending to leave.

Kevin was left speechless when Jaden ignored him once again. He was sincerely offering to treat Jaden to a meal, but it seemed that the other party was not interested in that at all.

Helplessly, he stretched his hand, and tried to grab Jaden's hand, to prevent him from leaving. But his grab attempt failed, as Jaden reacted, pulling his hand away.

Jaden on the other hand could not help but look at Kevin with a frown on his face. Could it be that this young master wanted to fight with him? This was definitely not something that Jaden wanted.

In any case, there was no any form of feud between the two of them. Even though previously, he had claimed that he was Scarlet's boyfriend, that was definitely simply because he was on duty.

Jaden could understand that sometimes, some young masters would not understand that he was on duty or not. Instead, they would only care about their interests.

Since Jaden act had made Kevin fail in what he wanted at that time, he would definitely target him, if he was like those other young masters. At the same time, Jaden wondered if this guy wanted to take action personally, instead of sending his lackeys to attack him.

Kevin was not that much surprised when he failed to grab Jaden. He already understood that Jaden possessed incredible fighting prowess. So, when facing an ordinary person like himself, it was not impossible for him to be able to dodge, even though he had been caught off-guard.

"Sigh! Jaden, I'm really serious about this. Even if you don't want to have a meal with me and a small chat later on, still, I want to talk to you about something." Kevin stated with a sigh.

Jaden raised his brows a little when he looked at Kevin. He wondered what it was that Kevin wanted to talk to him about. Just by looking at the way that Kevin was talking, it was not as if he was holding a grudge against him.

"What is it? You can just tell me right now. But if it is not important, then you will forgive me for leaving immediately." Jaden responded in a calm voice.

"It's like this, I know that you are a very good fighter. But with those skills that you possess, a small city like this is definitely not meant for you. What do you think about going to a bigger field?" Kevin immediately went straight to the point.

Jaden was surprised upon hearing that. Going to a bigger field? Did that not imply that Kevin was trying to imply that Jaden was supposed to go to the first tier cities?

A first tier city. That was something that he had only heard of, and seen in the televisions news. As forever going there, he had never done that. So of course, he had always been wondering how it felt being in those big cities.

Despite that, Jaden was able to come back to his senses quite quickly. It seemed that the background that this guy possessed was not low at all. Considering the reaction that Scarlet was having during the time that they met previously, added with this invitation, he definitely came from one of those cities.

Jaden did not know the intention of being invited there. Of course, he understood that he possessed incredible fighting skills, and only a few people had seen it so far. The majority of the people that had seen it had already been killed by Scott.

As for the rest, it was the group of young masters that were together with Lucas and the rest. So, even though he was a little surprised where Kevin had gotten information about his combat ability, it was not that much, considering his assumption of Kevin's background.

At this moment, after a moment of thought, Jaden finally shook his head. He responded, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in going to the first tier cities for the time being."

This was a decision that Jaden had made after a moment of contemplation. Currently, he could not even deal with the families here, not to mention those that could be found in those big cities. So, it was better for him not to suddenly jump there without enough capability of protecting himself.

Additionally, he was currently working as a bodyguard. Not to mention that he could not simply decide to leave, when the Johnson family treated him well, he was not willing to leave. After all, if he left, he was going to lose the system.

So, until the time that the system allowed him to change clients, it was going to be impossible for Jaden to leave the job that he was currently doing.

Kevin was left speechless once again after Jaden rejected. He had investigated about Jaden, and he understood very well about Jaden's background. He understood that Jaden had never been to the first tier cities.

Was he not looking forward to visiting those big cities? Was he not looking forward to getting a job that paid a salary that matched his skills?

Kevin thought about what Jaden had said, and realized one thing. Jaden had said that he could not go there for the time being. That implied that he could go there in the future. As for when the future was, he was not sure.

Not willing to give up, Kevin continued, "I understand that. Still, if you want to go to the big cities, would you like to be working for my family? I know that with the skills that you possess, you deserve a lot more than what you get right now.

Additionally, there are better jobs for you, instead of being a silly bodyguard, and following behind somebody else. You can do something big, something that can enable you to grow even stronger, while earning some bucks."

Jaden simply shook his head upon hearing that. He responded, "I'm not planning to change my profession anytime soon. I am satisfied with what I am doing right now."

Not willing to continue talking about this matter anymore, Jaden turned around to leave. There was no need for him to continue talking about this matter with Kevin. After all, it was impossible for him to change the client that he was working for, or the profession.

Additionally, even if he could change his client, that did not imply that he was willing to work for this big family. Even though the big families in the big cities would be involved in several conflicts, and it would be a good opportunity for Jaden to develop, as he could get more missions, Jaden was not willing to risk it.

At least for the time being, unless he believed that he was strong enough to be able to deal with people that were armed with firearms, he was not willing to get involved with those big families.

"Hey, wait up!" Kevin shouted a little anxiously when he noticed that Jaden was leaving.

Jaden simply ignored the call, and continued walking away. In any case, he had already said what he had to say, and there was nothing to add on.

"Even if you don't want to change your profession, you can maintain it! I do know that despite possessing incredible combat skills, you don't have professional bodyguard training. So, you can receive training on how to become a professional bodyguard, and later on, you can take the job. What do you think about that?" Kevin shouted at Jaden's back.

To say the truth, Jaden was tempted by the offer. But thinking about the restrictions that he was having, and his own aims, he decided against it. At the end of it all, even if he received the training, that implied that he would be indebted to Kevin's family. That was something that he did not want.

In the end, Kevin could only watch helplessly as Jaden left. There was nothing that he could do. Jaden did not seem to have the intention of going to the big city, at least for the time being, and neither did he seem interested in joining his side.

In fact, from Jaden's tone, he could tell that Jaden did not seem to want to be associated with him that much. At this thought, he could not help but think that perhaps it might be related with him pursuing Scarlet.

Could it be that Jaden was not happy with him going after Scarlet? But according to the information that he had gained, Jaden and Scarlet did not seem to be in any romantic relationship.

Kevin was completely confused. At the same time, he contemplated on what to do, as he did not want to give up on a talent like Jaden. In fact, he had his own ulterior motives. If he managed to bring somebody like Jaden back to the family, he would definitely be rewarded.

"Well, why do you look so desperate in this situation? You know, if you want to get something big out of a negotiation, you should not show that you are desperate." Peter's voice reached Kevin's ears, bringing him back from his own world.

"I understand. It is just that I had not expected that he was going to refuse such an offer. Most of the people would definitely agree to it." Kevin responded as he looked at Jaden's distant figure.

"Whatever it is, you have to restrain yourself. Additionally, you can just decide to go ahead and increase the offer that you are making. Instead of keeping him in the dark, you can just reveal the crucial information that you are hiding. That way, it should be easy for you to be able to get him to join your family." Peter stated.
