The Bodyguard System

The moment that Jaden arrived in his residence, he made sure to close the door. He had already decided to take one of the pills in order to get stronger.

He was not sure about the future, but it was sure was a dangerous one. Since he would be involved with people that might be using guns or even someone like Scott, he had to get stronger.

So, after taking a deep breath, he took one of the pills from the system inventory. Without hesitation, he took it and waited for the effects of the pill to kick in.

It was a good thing that there was no limit to the number of physique enhancing pills that he could take. Even though he could only take one pill at a time, he could take them for infinity.

The best thing out of It was the fact that the effects remained the same no matter how many times he took the pills. His strength would keep on increasing by three times each and every time that he took the pills.

A few moments after he had taken the pill, he suddenly felt his body temperature rising sharply. Having already experienced this before, he was not that surprised.

He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes and sat in the empty bathtub. He was already sweating profusely after a few seconds.

His body temperature stopped increasing after it had reached a certain level. Jaden patiently waited until finally, he felt his muscles beginning to squirm.

A burst of energy appeared within his body as the entire warmth sensation spread all over his body, while the high temperatures finally began reducing.

Jaden felt that his body was filled with unimaginable strength. His strength had increased by three times the previous one. Jaden was quite curious about how strong he was at this moment.

Crack!

Jaden was trying to stand up from the bathtub while supporting himself on the edges. But he had not expected that the place where he had held had ended up breaking.

Jaden was momentarily stunned. Had his strength improved to the level that he could now casually break a bathtub? Wasn't this too overpowered?

At this moment, Jaden immediately decided against the plan that he was having on taking the other pill. Unless he understood and could control the strength that he currently possessed, he dared not try taking the other pill.

Carefully, he stood up from the bathtub, this time without holding the edges, afraid that he might destroy it entirely. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Bang!

The moment that he placed his foot on the ground, the floor shook. Just like his hands, he had failed to control his thigh muscles.

At this point, Jaden was scared. He had felt the floor trembling when he stepped out of the bathtub. It was like a giant stomping on the ground.

Jaden was thinking, would he make the entire building collapse? That might be possible as he had not even exerted strength when he stepped out of the bathtub, yet that happened.

He was currently on the second floor. Jaden did not want to risk anything. So, he made sure to do things as slowly as he could, making sure that he did not lose control of himself.

Still, it was quite difficult for him to control his strong body. He had after had an increase in not only his strength, but his other parameters had improved as well. And, it was a three times increase.

After taking a shower, by barely managing not to break the shower switch, Jaden changed into another pair of clothes.

He did not even bother to look at himself in the mirror as he was afraid of staying within the room in his current state. So, he walked slowly on stairs, going down while trying to make sure that he did not break the stairs from failing to control himself.

Along the way, he met with two ladies that were in charge of cleaning in the Johnson residence. The two of them looked at Jaden with weird gazes as he carefully went down the stairs.

"Hey, do you think that he is so afraid that an earthquake might be going to happen?" One of them whispered to the other.

"Maybe. Even though it was a very small tremor, it can cause panic nonetheless. Nobody ever wants to be involved in an earthquake."

"But, don't you think that he is too scared for his job? As a bodyguard, he is supposed to be brave to face dangers. Otherwise, how is he supposed to protect the young miss if he himself is scared?"

"Doesn't matter anyway. He is already hired and has spent more than a month here already. Since he is not fired, it implies that he is doing his job quite well."

"Tsk! I don't believe it…"

"By the way, have you noticed that he has changed?"

"Changed? How? I didn't see the change."

"I mean, don't you think…he has gotten more handsome?"

"Just say that you are infatuated with him. Why is it that only you can see that change?"

Even though the two ladies were whispering to each other, Jaden was able to hear them as if they were whispering to him. That was the impact of having his senses improved by three times.

For the past few minutes, he had been hearing many sounds charging into his ears at the same time to the extent that even his brain failed to distinguish the sound. To him, it was a loud noise.

Even though he was barely able to focus on other things, making it that he did not pay much attention to everything that he was hearing, it was still difficult. Jaden was just relieved that there was no road close by where vehicles would be passing by occasionally.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome to hear the loud revving of the car engines and the insistent honking from some crazy drivers.

After managing to barely get out of the building, Jaden could finally breath. He stretched his muscles, finally feeling the freedom.

Though, he remembered what one of the maids had said. It seemed that he had gotten a little better than before. Jaden touched his face, trying to feel any changes on his face, but could not find any.

In the end, he shrugged and decided to go to the gym so that he could test out his current strength. He had access to the gym and so, he was not worried that he would be stopped from using it.

After he got in the gym, he realized that Sylvia who was usually present in the gym wasn't there. But this was for the best. At least, he would not scare her with his strength.

Jaden went ahead to the area where weights were. He looked at them, quite curious about how much weight he could lift.

The gym in the Johnson residence was well equipped. The equipment were all modern, and even though they were not being used occasionally, they were here nonetheless.

The heaviest weight plate here was 30kg. Jaden immediately arranged a barbell, with 20 plates weighing 30 kg each, ten on each side. With that, the barbell weighed 600kgs, not including the weight of the bar itself.

Though, as he arranged the barbell, Jaden felt that there was something out of place. These weights… they were not as heavy as they were supposed to be before, right?

Despite that, Jaden held the barbell before lifting it from the ground. But, as he lifted it, he stumbled backwards, nearly falling with the barbell.

He had underestimated his strength again. He had thought that over 600kgs would enable him to test out his strength. In the end, it turned out that it was not that heavy.

By estimation, with the way that he had lifted the weight, it was as though he was lifting something that was only ten kilograms.

Jaden looked at the barbell in his hand and was stunned. The bar had bent. Even though it was not that much, it had bent by at least 10°.

Jaden awkwardly placed the weight on the ground. But, since it was light to him, he dropped it on the ground.

Bang!

A careless move! The ground where the weight had landed immediately showed cracks. Had it not been that the floor in the gym was specially made to handle the weights, the floor would have been completely destroyed.

Jaden came back to his senses quite fast. He removed the plates from the bar. He understood that if he left the plates on the bar longer than they were supposed to, the bar would bend, even though it had already bent.

After returning everything where they were supposed to be, Jaden left in a hurry. He did not want anyone to find him here. After all, how was he supposed to explained about the bending of the bar?

That also reminded him about the bathtub. He would have to look for a way of replacing it. He had to make sure that this piece of information did not reach Clifford's ears.

"Ouch!"

Someone exclaimed, bringing Jaden back to reality. He looked in front of him and realized that he had knocked into Sylvia.

She was currently on the floor while holding her shoulder. She was looking at Jaden with puzzlement in her eyes.

"Sorry for that. I was a little lost in my thoughts." Jaden stated as he stretched his hand to lift Sylvia from the floor. But, he stopped his actions midway.

He could not control his strength well enough. So, he might end up accidentally hurting Sylvia. So, he said, "As a compensation, I will teach you something new later on."

After saying that, he hurried away, not wanting to talk anymore. Things were complicated at this moment, and he was not willing to explain.
