The Bodyguard System

Jaden could only shake his head when he saw this scene. He had anticipated that this group of people would run away the moment that they saw him and recognized him from the incident back then.

But it was completely unexpected to him that they would actually attack Charles, the very same person that had hired them to come over and beat him. Nonetheless, he decided to leave, because there was nothing for him to do here anymore.

This time, in order to take a rest from the studying, Jaden decided to visit the other company that he had managed to take 100% shares from using the chance that he had gotten from the system.

Previously, Jaden had decided that he was going to pick an entertainment company. He really did not have that much of a reason behind that, but he felt that there was no harm in venturing in the entertainment industry. Discover more stories at empire

It was good enough that he currently possessed 100% shares of Nightstar security company, something that was going to help him in his course as a bodyguard.

As for the entertainment company, it was the one that he was going to use for other things. For example, the song that he had previously composed and written the lyrics for had been sent to this company.

Of course, this company was located within this city. During the time that Jaden was taking over this company, the net worth of this company was only $380 million.

There was no helping it. Even though Jaden could have taken another company that had a higher value, but Jaden was not interested in any company that was located within this city.

As for the matter of taking another company that was located in a different city, that was completely out of Jaden's plans. He did not plan on taking a company that was out of this city, considering that it was going to be bothersome for him to visit the company, especially when he was on duty as a bodyguard.

Of course, this was a decision that he had made back then, when the system had yet to inform him that he could actually change clients, but of course, that was only going to be after the update.

The moment that Jaden began driving the car, this group that was beating Charles up immediately made a way for him. A few of them got inside the cars, and they drove their cars to the side of the road, so that they could allow Jaden to go through.

The moment that Jaden left, they went back and continued beating up Charles. It was only a few minutes later that they finally felt satisfied after beating Charles. In any case, they did not want to kill him, because they could not handle an incident that involved killing someone.

One of them had been previously framed by Jaden or someone that was close to either Jaden or the lady that he was with, and they did not want a repeat of that.

As for why they had beaten Charles, it was because he was trying to look for trouble for them. Why did he have to provoke Jaden? It would have been better if he had provoked another person instead. That way, they would have no scruples when it came to handling that person.

"Guys, I have decided. I am no longer taking these kinds of jobs. No matter what, it is better for me to quit. After all, I cannot predict that we are not going to meet that monster again. And if we meet again, I am not sure if he is going to let us go like today. I'm not even sure if he has really let us go this time." Mike said as he looked at the others around him.

"That is the same idea that I am having. I have already thought about it, and have decided that I'm going to quit this. It is quite risky. It is especially so considering that the crackdown happened not long ago. And, there is a great possibility that we might get caught by the police if we continue doing this." Another man responded.

"So, what should we do? We cannot just continue staying in the dojo while doing nothing, right? We have to find something to do so that we can earn money. I'm not willing to starve." Another one questioned.

Mike was currently the temporary leader of this group. The previous leader of this group was the one who had been framed by Jaden, and ended up being sent to prison.

As for if he was going to ever come out of prison, it was difficult to say. After all, he was involved in murder, something that had led to him receiving a life sentence.

Mike thought hard, before finally coming to a decision. "I have decided on my own path. I heard that there is a recruitment for security guards. It is from the current monopoly of the security industry, Nightstar security company.

I have decided that I'm going to join them. I am not sure if I will be able to pass the recruitment, but if I actually manage to join them, I will work with them. I heard from the rumors that the salary that they are offering is quite reasonable.

Additionally, the jobs that a person would receive would mainly depend on the skills that they have. Moreover, there is even free training on how to become a good security guard.

Even if it turns out that the amount that I can earn while working for them is not as much as the one that I would have earned while being here, at least, the risk involved there is lower as compared to the one here.

That's what I have decided on doing. As for if you other guys are going to do it or not, it is going to be upon you. I will not make any decision for you, considering that this is a matter of your own future."

The others fell into a moment of contemplation upon hearing that. Of course, they had already heard about the rumors of this monopoly in the security industry hiring personnel.

For them, they were all raised in the Eastern part of the city. They had been friends since they were young, and all of them did not attend school, due to the financial constraints of their families.

Even though they were unlearned, they were quite smart when it came to finding methods to make money. They managed to make money for quite a while, before deciding to join a dojo to train their fighting skills.

Then, with their skills, they were being occasionally hired to carry out some tasks and were well paid. But, they always made sure that they only took the jobs that contained the least risk.

As for those highly risky jobs, they decided against taking them. They had been saving quite an amount of money until now, but they felt that if they continued in the same path, they might end up losing everything that they had saved until now.

Their leader who had somehow ended up receiving a life sentence in prison was a good example of what could happen if things went wrong.

"I will do the same. I have no choice. I have a family now, and they have to eat. I have to make sure that my children go to school, not to experience the same thing as I did." Another one commented after a moment of silence.

The moment that he said those words, the others also came to the same agreement. And with that, they all decided on the same thing, they were going to join the recruitment of being security guards.

Even though it might not be the most prestigious job, but at least, it was reasonable, and the income from this job would not be doubted by anybody.

In their minds, they thought that at least their families would be proud of them, for those that had families of their own at the moment.

Jaden did not know about the decision that this group of people had made, or that he had changed the trajectory of their lives completely from meeting with them on this specific day.

After driving for more than 40 minutes, Jaden finally arrived in front of a building that was located very close to the heart of the city.

It was a building with 18 floors, and even though it was not amongst the tallest buildings present in the heart of the city, but nonetheless, it was one of the most mesmerizing buildings around.

After all, the way that this building was constructed was in such a way that it looked completely outstanding as compared to the buildings in the surrounding areas.

Jaden parked his car in the parking lot, before alighting. Before coming over, Jaden had not informed anyone that he was coming to view the company. And, this was going to be the first time that he was going to visit this company of his after taking it over 3 months ago.

Jaden simply wanted to see how things worked in this company. He was just curious, to see if there was something that needed to be changed.

He understood that if he wanted to know how things really worked here, he had to come here without letting anyone know. Otherwise, they might try to hide the trash upon hearing that he was paying them a visit.

He immediately began walking towards the entrance of the building, curious about what was inside there, even though he already possessed the basic information about it, before he had taken the shares of this company.
