The Bodyguard System

Just as Jaden had anticipated, when he got back to the hotel suite, the AI immediately informed him about successfully gathering the amount that he wanted.

Well, the AI had gone all out this time, and had managed to gather over 500 trillion dollars. That was a huge amount of money that was being held by several people that dealt with illegal businesses.

After hearing the amount that had been gathered, Jaden could not help but feel ecstatic. This was obviously the largest amount of money that he had ever had, but it was not as if the money really cared anymore at this point.

He could spend as much money as possible in order to acquire the items that were available within the store. And, the first one was obviously to start the research on the stone.

The research was going to cost $10 trillion, and that was something that Jaden immediately paid. Well, the system was the one that deducted the money directly from his account, as Jaden received a message from the bank informing him about money being debited from his account.

And just immediately after he received a prompt from the system, the stone that he was currently holding in his hand vanished. Jaden was not surprised by the extraordinary things that were being performed by the system, after knowing about its origins.

At the same time, Jaden received another prompt from the system.

[The research has been initiated, and the fee has been paid. The research is going to take 1 hour.]

Jaden did not bother with the research for the time being, considering that it was going to be 1 hour until he got the results. So, he focused on the other thing that he had in mind, which was obviously about gaining another ability.

Well, it could be said to be just an upgrade of the current ability that he possessed. And since he already had something in mind, he immediately made the purchase of the grade SSS telekinesis ability.

[Purchase completed. Would the host like to integrate with the ability immediately, or would like to postpone it?]

Upon receiving the prompt, Jaden did not hesitate to immediately agree. He did not want to delay things anymore, considering that at any moment, mutants might be coming over to try and kill him.

So, it was better for him too get stronger first, so that if an even stronger enemy came, he would be able to deal with them.

[Confirmed. The integration will begin now. The host will lose consciousness for the next 3 hours.]

And without giving Jaden a chance of saying anything, Jaden's consciousness suddenly blacked out. At the same time, he collapsed onto the bed that he was currently sitting on.

….

Of course, what Jaden did not know was the fact that his actions had immediately caused chaos to erupt all over the world.

The amount of money that he had acquired, $500 trillion was something that had obviously been stolen from others.

Several projects that have been arranged by those gangsters and others had to come to a halt, considering that there was no money.

The only thing that these people failed to understand was how the money had been transferred from their accounts without their notice. Since they were top powers, they of course had several people that were watching their accounts.

In a situation where the money was being transferred from their accounts, they would have already been informed about it before the money was transferred.

But this time, those people only came to know about the money being transferred from the accounts after the money had already left the accounts.

They immediately took action, trying to trace the one who had hacked into their accounts and stolen the money. At the same time, they communicated with the banks where they had stored their money, asking them to trace the thief.

The banks were also In chaos. They had never anticipated that the money that belonged to several of the big clients would be stolen like that. This was something that was going to affect their reputation. And of course, they were not going to accept something like that happening. And since that was the case, they also took action.

With so many people taking action at the same time, it was obvious that the government would also be alerted. And this time, it was not just a government from one country, but it was different governments from all over the world.

They used all the experts that they possessed in order to try and track down the thief. It was just that no matter what kind of skills those experts possessed, they did not manage to find any trace of the thief.

Yes, they could see that the money had been transferred from the accounts. But even with the skills that they possessed, trying to see how the money had been transferred, they could not find anything.

Of course, something big like this was impossible to hide. And, in just a few minutes, several people began getting the information, and social media was flooded with the news about what had happened.

Some people obviously ecstatic, especially after realizing that it seemed that the thief had simply targeted those evil guys. But for others, they did not feel happy about it, as they knew about the implication of this matter.

Even if that was not the case, they were not happy because they had a transaction with those people, and they were afraid that even the money that was in their accounts would be stolen.

This was something that led to many people immediately visiting the banks, with the intention of withdrawing all the money that was in their accounts.

At least, as long as they had the money in cash, they would not be so much afraid of a hacker being able to steal from them. They could simply hire security, and put the money in the safe, hide it away from anyone else.

In just about 2 hours, all the governments all over the world had been allotted, and an emergency meeting was carried out. The meeting did not require them to attend a particular venue, but instead, they did so through a conference video call.

They immediately began discussing about this matter, and about what had really occurred. It was just that no matter what they had in mind, it was definitely not related on how to find the thief.

They had already tried all the methods that they could think of, but it was just impossible for them to be able to get it. Though, they felt slightly relieved, considering that the money that had been taken had only been taken from those guys with illegal businesses.

If the thief had decided to go ahead and steal the money from the government itself, then things would have definitely gotten much more complicated. The government projects would have obviously failed, and the economy of the nations all over the world would have been tremendously affected.

This did not imply that with the money from the gangsters being taken away did not affect the economy. After all, with such a huge amount of money being taken away from the market, the circulation of money was obviously going to drop.

And due to that, several business persons had no other choice but to suffer losses, considering that with limited money in the market, this was something that would lead to many people being unable to afford the products on the market.

And with that, they would have no other choice but to lower the prices of the items that they had obviously bought at a higher price before.

After the conference meeting, the leaders of Nazu, the very same nation that Jaden was in had a meeting of their own later on.

Initially, they had not paid that much attention to the issue about money being robbed from different accounts, but this time, they had no other choice but to take action.

Yes, they obviously wanted the money from those illegal business people to be taken away, so that they could go bankrupt. With that, those illegal businesses that were affecting the citizens in the nation would obviously collapse one after the other.

But understanding the implications of something like this, considering that even if those illegal business people did not have one business, they at least had one legal business. And, those businesses had employees, and they could not allow them to collapse, as that would lead to a high rate of unemployment.

"Go and ask the mutants to take action. I want to know who it is that has done something like this. This is obviously not targeting our nation directly, but still, it can affect us." The leader stated with a solemn tone.

"Yes, leader." The person that was instructed responded. Then, he turned around, left the building, and made a call.

A few minutes later, a response came back, and the leader was informed.

"The person that was involved with this is currently in Zuta. The exact location has already been detected, we are waiting for your command to take action." The guy stated as he looked at the leader.

"Immediately take action. But, don't kill that thief. I never expected that the thief would actually be located in my nation. I want to see who has the capability of doing something like this worldwide." The leader instructed.
