The Bodyguard System

Mike was one of the people that had been brought over in order to fight against Jaden. Completely different from the others, he was quite lucky, considering that he was the least injured among the entire group.

Jaden had managed to knock someone, making that person fly towards him. At that moment, he tried to evade, but he failed. In the end, he was knocked to the ground by the other party.

Initially, he wanted to get back on his feet, so that he could jump into the fight, and attack Jaden. But it was at that moment that he suddenly saw something that made him not dare to do that.

After all, he saw Jaden kicking people left and right, sending all of them flying. That was definitely not something that an ordinary human could do. This was a monster in action, and they were actually trying to attack a monster?

They must have lost their minds. So, just to make sure that he was not targeted, he continued staying on the ground. Of course, by staying on the ground did not imply that he was unharmed.

Instead, due to the small space that they were fighting in, when one person fell onto the ground, others would end up stepping on them either intentionally or unintentionally.

So, several people had ended up stepping on him. But he had no other choice but to continue pretending that he was unconscious. So, he remained lying on the ground, no matter how many times he was being stepped on.

Of course, as the fight progressed, he managed to move his body towards the wall, where least people were. Then, he positioned himself in such a way that no matter if a person stepped on him, they would not be able to harm him that much.

He had been staying on the ground, pretending to be unconscious for more than 20 minutes now. He could remember clearly when Jaden spoke up, before finally, he had the sound of somebody leaving.

Then, he heard some of his colleagues asking that person for help. Were they mad? Even though he could not see the other party, considering that he did not dare to open his eyes, he could tell that it was obviously Jaden.

After all, he was the only person who had come down here, and was the only one other than himself that possessed the capability of walking, unless there was another person that was acting like himself.

Just to make sure that there was no danger, Mike waited for more than 20 minutes. And now, he finally gained the courage of opening his eyes.

The cries from the few people around him did not subside at all. People continued yelling in pain, while others were currently unconscious. As for those that managed to regain their consciousness during this period of time that they were waiting, they also began screaming in pain.

Despite all that, Mike noticed that there was something common among all the people that were currently awake. They were all struggling to go up the stairs, and leave this place.

After all, they had been told that they had to leave this place within 30 minutes. If they continued staying here, and Jaden came back, they would definitely be in trouble again.

Having already experienced the terror of fighting against Jaden, they did not want Jaden to target them anymore. So, it was better for them to leave. It was just that it was difficult for them to move, considering that the pain that they were undergoing was tremendous.

Mike looked around cautiously. He just had to make sure that Jaden was not watching them from the shadows. Of course, if Jaden was in the shadows, it was impossible for him to be able to find him. Despite that, he still did it.

A few seconds later, when he was finally convinced that Jaden was not around, he finally managed to get back on his feet. Then, he looked at the others that were currently screaming.

At first, he wanted to ignore them and leave by himself. But then again, he remembered what Jaden had said. What if others continued remaining here, and Jaden found them. Then, Jaden would be angry, and start looking for all of them?

That was not what he wanted to experience. In fact, Mike was hoping in his heart that he would not meet with Jaden again in his life. After experiencing this occasion, he did not want to see a repeat of it.

"Hey Mike, you are okay?" One of them suddenly noticed that Mike was not holding any part of his body in pain at all. Instead, he looked completely unharmed, other than the few bruises that could be seen on his forehead, and hands.

"Mike, get me out of this place. Help us to get out of here before that maniac comes back." Another one called up to him with difficulty.

Of course, only the two of them recognized Mike. It was impossible for the entire group of gangsters that had been hired to know each other. After all, it was not that simple to find a group of gangsters in the same gang, with fighting skills.

Most of the times, it would be the elite members of the gang that would possess incredible combat strength. As for the rest, they were just people that were struggling, and decided to join the gang in order to make a living.

The others, also upon noticing that Mike was unharmed, they also began shouting at him, so that he could help them out. Each and every one of them wanted to be the first one, and in no time at all, a few people that were crawling on the ground began fighting with each other.

They tried as much as possible to push the other towards the lower end of the staircase. At the same time, they tried as much as possible to approach Mike, so that he could help them out.

Mike had already made a decision in his heart. He would help everyone here, at least until they got out of here. Then from there, everyone would be handling the matter by themselves.

The only reason that he was even bothering to help them was simply because he did not want to be implicated. No matter what, he had to make sure that there was no any reason for Jaden to come looking for him.

So, one by one, he began dragging those that were asking for his help up the stairs, and out of the bar. It was a good thing that he possessed quite a huge physique, and was strong himself. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to be able to carry all these people.

For the final one, it was one of his friends. He had decided to finish with his friend, so that they could leave together.

When the two of them reached the corridor, Mike looked at the dead body on the ground. Of course, he recognized who this one was. It was this person who had come looking for them, before asking them to come and beat up someone, for a good pay.

But thinking about it, if it was just a normal person, for them to beat that person up, it would not be that difficult. And so, it was not supposed to be expensive.

Now that he thought about it, Mike thought that he was actually a fool to agree. At that time, he was blinded by greed for the money, and did not consider the situation at all.

Mike had already checked on his condition, only to realize that he was dead. Of course, Mike did not feel any pity for this guy. After all, he was the one that had put them in this problem.

Even though they had decided on their own to come here, it was the other party's fault for offering such a big pay for a 'small' job. If he had not offered such a large amount of money, they would have definitely not agreed.

Mike was just about to leave, so that they could leave the body behind, when his friends suddenly spoke up. "Hey Mike, you are not planning on leaving this guy behind, are you?"

"Of course I am. Let this body continue staying here. I don't care who is going to retrieve it, and if it is not retrieved, he's going to remain here without being buried. He deserves it for what he has caused us." Mike responded with anger clear in his voice.

His friend remained silent for a while. Just like all the others that had been beaten by Jaden, he had also gotten one of his legs broken. Initially, he was not supposed to have his leg broken. But since he had been sent flying, he landed on the stairs in a bad angle, leading to his leg being broken.

Had it not been that his leg had been broken, he would have managed to get himself out of there. But it was extremely difficult for him to be able to move upwards, while enduring the pain, and using one leg at that.

So of course, he was among the people that hated Lucas the most. As for hating Jaden, he did not even think of that. In any case, why hate a person that you cannot deal with? It is useless and burdening for nothing.

"It might be true that he caused us all of these problems, but don't you remember what that guy said? He said that he should not find any body here in 30 minutes." The friend said after a moment of contemplation.

Upon hearing that, Mike was dumbfounded. That was actually true. He had heard that devil saying that. Even though it could be anybody, or any body, despite all that, he did not want to risk anything. So, reluctantly, he grabbed one of Lucas's legs, and began pulling.

It was only when he had began pulling the body when he suddenly realized that the leg that he was holding was actually broken. He was immediately frightened. Then, he looked at the other limbs, only to realize that they were all broken.

Despite that, he managed to use his huge hand to grab one of the body's biceps, before finally pulling. As for his friend, he was using one of his shoulders to carry him. With that, the two people and one dead body left the bar, under the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd that had already gathered around.
