The Bodyguard System

Sylvia managed to get back on her feet, as she looked at the direction that Jaden had disappeared in. She was wondering what was going on with Jaden.

He seemed to be a little flustered today. Additionally, from the way that he was acting, he was acting quite suspicious. Could it be that he was planning something that he did not want her to know?

As she was thinking about that, she held the shoulder that had bumped into Jaden. Jaden had been walking at a normal speed, while she was quite in a rush to get into the gym. For that reason, the moment that the two of them collided, she felt like she had collided with a rock.

Yes, she had bumped into Jaden's chest, but for some reason, she felt that her shoulder was in pain. As for the pain that was caused by falling on the ground, that was ignorable for her.

Thinking about the incident, she finally remembered another thing. While Jaden was leaving, why did it seem like he was quite faster when he was just walking?

In the end, Sylvia shook her head. She went inside the gym, as she wanted to train as usual. She had been quite busy recently, and had been visiting the gym less frequently than before. Your journey continues at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net

After getting in the gym, she immediately headed towards the area that had punching bags. She was already donned in a track trouser and a sleeveless tight blouse.

Just before she could begin punching, she suddenly noticed something. The arrangement of the weight plates was different from how she had left them before.

When she thought about how Jaden have been rushing out, it seemed that he might have been here to try using the weights. Of course, it was not a problem for him to use them.

But, she was a little disappointed in him. After all, he did not arrange them the way they were supposed to. So, Sylvia decided to stop practicing first, and arrange the weight plates.

Just after she had finished arranging them, she noticed that one of the bars for the barbell was actually bent. This completely stunned her. It was completely difficult for the bar to bend like that.

That was unless somebody left the full weight that a bar could support for a longer than expected period. But as long as she could remember, there was nobody that was using the weights, at least, those weight plates with the maximum weight within the gym.

It then remember that Jaden had just left when she was coming in. So, she realized that he might be the one that had used the weight plates for a barbell.

But then again, how was it possible that the bar was bent? That was unless this guy was fighting against the barbell, using the full weight that the bar could support.

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly noticed a crack on the floor not far away. At that moment, she was shocked, and did not know what to say or think.

….

Jaden was having a difficult time controlling his strength. Additionally, it was not just physical strength, but even his speed and other parameters had been increased as well.

So, he needed some time for him to be able to adapt to such an increase in strength. It was a good thing that he did not have to go out with Scarlet. Otherwise, he might end up breaking her car door in case he was careless, and if he was asked to drive, he might end up destroying the steer wheel.

Despite all that, when evening came, Jaden had finally managed to control his strength, though not fully. It was only due to the fact that all his parameters had been increased by the same amount, that it had been quite easy for him to be able to adapt. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to do that in just a few hours.

Thinking about how difficult it was for him to control his current strength, Jaden decided that unless he could fully control his strength at this point, he would not take the other pill. After all, that would be akin to wanting to turn himself into a destroyer.

….

Browns Residence…

The atmosphere within the entire residence was solemn. The dogs and other pets that were kept within the residence were all silent, as if they could tell the mood in the air.

Inside the living room of the mansion that belonged to the Browns, there was a middle-aged man who was sitting there with an angered expression on his face.

There were several other people within the room, but none of them dared to breath loudly, as if they were afraid of attracting the attention of the middle-aged man.

"I want to know everything that happened. I want to know how it all happened. You better give me a reasonable explanation on how everything came to be, otherwise, you are all going to pay for it." The middle aged man spoke in a eerily calm voice.

Despite him asking for explanations from the people around him, none of them gave any. After all, each and every one of them did not know how it had happened. They only received the information, and they passed it to the head of the family, the man currently questioning them.

As for the details, they had yet to find them. It had already been a few hours since they received the information about Lucas's tragic end, but they had it to find anything solid enough to prove what had really happened to Lucas.

Bang!

The man suddenly punched the coffee table in front of him as he stood up. Even though his knuckles had already turned red from the impact, he did not seem to care about it.

Instead, he glared at everyone present within the room. Then, he asked, "So, are all of you going to remain silent? Is none of you willing to give me an explanation of what really happened to my son? How did he end up dying? Who killed him? Why was he even there?"

A few seconds elapsed, but nobody came forward. And just as the man was about to lose his patience, one person suddenly stepped forward.

The young lady swallowed. She said, "The young master wanted to leave the house. Just as you had instructed before, we did not allow him to leave. But somehow, after I had gone away to deal with other duties within the mansion, when I came back, I did not find him.

I am not sure about who allowed him to get out of his room. After all, he was having a broken leg, and was in no condition to go out. But he was gone, and so was the wheelchair."

The eyes of the middle-aged man did not show any emotion at all. Instead, he looked composed, as if he was not the one who had just lost his son.

"So, you want to tell me that even after all these hours, you have yet to figure out who allowed him to go? Or are all of you trying to shield that person?" The middle-aged man asked without looking at them.

Instead, he was looking towards the wall, where there was a photo frame. On the photo, there was his son, Lucas Brown. Other than him on that image, it was himself, and his late wife.

That photo had been taken more than 10 years ago. That was when Lucas was obedient, and did everything as he was told. But for the past few years, he had been quite arrogant, and never followed any instructions that he was given. He was rebellious all over.

Despite having asked a question, the man did not receive any response. Finally, he took a deep breath, before speaking again.

"It is okay. It is okay if you don't want to tell me who it was that allowed him to go out. But let me tell you one thing, after I deal with the one who killed my son, it will be the turn for the person who allowed my son to go out and get himself killed.

Now, I want to know who it was that killed my son. And, I don't want to hear any excuses that you have not yet found who it was that killed him. If you don't know who killed him, bring in everyone that interacted with him today. I will personally interrogate them." The man stated with a firm but monotonous voice.

The entire group of people within the living room swallowed hard. It would be a lie to say that there was none of them that really hated Lucas. But right now, they had no choice but to follow what they were being told.

Of course, a few of them had been a little excited after they heard of the death of Lucas. After all, that guy was extremely arrogant, doing everything as he wanted. It was as if he always thought that the world revolved around him.

Despite feeling joyful about the demise of the young master of the family, none of them dared to show that on their faces or their actions. They could only do that when they were alone.

Even though Lucas was not the only young master of the family, still, he was the youngest young master. Even though he was not going to inherit the position of the family head in the future, still, as the son of the family head, he still held an important position in the family.

"Sir, the information that I have received so far indicates that other than a few crooks that the young master interacted with, the others with a prominent background are none other than Harry, and Scarlet." The person that was in charge of residence management stated.
