The Bodyguard System

A little while later, a young man came over. He was also relieved after seeing Ruby. Then, he looked at Jaden, before asking, "Ruby, is that your boyfriend? Finally! I thought that I was never going to be an uncle!"

Jaden: "???"

Ruby: "…"

"What nonsense are you saying? Is that the only thing that runs in your mind all the time that you see me with a man?!" Ruby asked with a furious expression on her face.

She was angry and embarrassed at what her brother had said. She had gone ahead to ask Jaden to help her, but now, her brother was making some weird comments.

In case what he said ended up angering Jaden, if he decided to leave, what would she do? She understood that it was impossible for her to be able to protect her family and allow them to be able to safely reach the airport, when the gangsters out there were going to attack.

Just like Jaden, when she was coming over, she realized that there was somebody that was watching the movements that they were making. Of course, she did not doubt that this group of people that was watching them belonged to the tiger gang.

The young man, upon hearing his sister's rebuke, he scratched his head, as he smiled awkwardly. Then, he went ahead and stretched his hand towards Jaden.

"Hello, sorry for the misunderstanding. My name is Jake. Nice to meet you." Jake stated with a smile on his face as he shook Jaden's extended hand.

Jaden simply nodded his head upon hearing that. Then, he turned to look at Ruby and said, "I will be going out for now. You can go ahead and continue with the journey to the airport. I will ensure that nothing will happen."

Even though Ruby was not sure about Jaden was saying, she decided to trust him. In any case, if he left, then there was nothing that she could do. After all, if he decided to leave, she could not force him to stay.

Even if she managed to force him to stay, that did not guarantee that he would protect her family and ensure that they reached the airport safely.

Jaden left the room to the family, and immediately headed out of the apartment block. He had already noticed the group of gangsters that was watching over the apartment, and so, he was going to use a plan in his mind, in order to take care of this matter.

He could not afford to fail this mission. After all, by failing the first one, that implied that he had lost something quite huge. This time, he was not going to allow that reward to slip past him.

After coming out of the apartment block, Jaden immediately headed towards the direction that the gangsters were located in. Then, he moved in such a way that he avoided the gangsters that were not paying much attention to him, and managed to find one of them that was alone in a corner.

Jaden immediately knocked the guy onto the ground with a single punch. Then, after threatening the guy, he was immediately told who the leader of the group of gangsters that was asked to watch over Ruby's family was.

Jaden then took the gangster's phone, and made a call to the leader of the group. Even though the guy was hurt, he still managed to ask the boss to come over, claiming that he had found something.

Even though the leader of the group was quite curious about what it was, since the other party was not willing to say it over the phone, he had no choice but to come over.

Jaden hid away, and waited for the leader to come over. The moment that the guy came over, Jaden knocked him out. Since the guy had come over with two more people, Jaden was able to easily take care of them due to his incredible reflexes.

After knocking out everybody, Jaden looked around for a while, before he found a rope. Well, the rock was used to tie a certain sack, whose contents Jaden did not know.

After ensuring that he had tied them up well, Jaden left the area. He found a secluded place, and finally, he decided that it was time for him to use the appearance shifting watch.

This was going to be the first time that he was going to use the appearance shifting much ever since he had received it from the system. Of course, he had been tempted to try out the function of the appearance shifting watch, but in the end, he decided against it.

Right now, he wanted to try and see if it was going to work perfectly. If it did, then things would be quite easy for him. He would not have to fight against all the gangsters in order to be able to deal with this mission.

Just like instructed before, Jaden pressed the button on the watch. The moment that the button was pressed, a golden light suddenly enveloped Jaden.

It was a good thing that he was currently inside a public washroom, and there was nobody around. Otherwise, the light would have definitely attracted their attention over.

The moment that the golden light enveloped his body, Jaden suddenly felt a piece of information appearing in his mind. It was a question, asking him which appearance he would like to take on.

Without thinking, Jaden immediately selected the option of the leader of the group of the gangsters. For the appearances that appeared in his mind, all of them were the people that he had seen before.

Of course, he could go ahead and customize the appearance that he wanted, still, that was not what he wanted. Since he wanted to deal with the gangsters, then, he had to make sure that it was something that was related to the mission.

The moment that Jaden selected the appearance that he wanted to take on, he suddenly felt that there was a force that was penetrating his body. Then in the next moment, he felt that his entire body was changing completely.

His muscles began buffing up, his height increased a little. His short hair suddenly increased, reaching his shoulders.

Other than those changes, Jaden did not realize any other change while within the light. He could not see the changes that were happening to his body directly, still, he could feel them.

He realized that his strength had not changed at all, despite the increase in his muscles. Of course, he was taking the appearance of another person, and so, perhaps there might be a chance that his strength would be reduced to the same level as the person that he was taking their appearance.

But it seemed that he was wrong. Nonetheless, this was for the best. He would not want to become weak, simply because he took on the appearance of a weakling.

About 1 minute later, the light finally dissipated. Jaden was finally able to see his appearance via the mirror in the washroom. When he looked at his appearance, Jaden was a little stunned.

It was like he was looking at a completely different person. His appearance was extremely similar to the person that he had knocked out before.

Not only the physique matched the other party, but even the clothes had completely changed, becoming the same as the ones that the other guy was wearing. This immediately removed the plan that Jaden was having in his mind, that after changing his appearance, he would go over and take the clothes that the other party was wearing.

"Well, this seems to be too overpowered. Nonetheless, it should not be difficult for me to be able to complete the mission." Jaden stated in a low voice, only to be surprised once again.

The reason behind that being that his voice had changed as well. He had forgotten to hear the voice that the other guy possessed, but now, it seemed that he did not have to be worried about it.

Since his voice had changed, Jaden believed that he was currently having the voice of the other party. It could be said that the ability of the appearance shifting watch was so overpowered.

After making sure that everything was in place, Jaden finally left the washroom. He immediately headed towards the direction that he had detected people watching on his movements before, when he was coming in with Ruby, and when he was leaving the apartment block.

"Hey boss, where did you go to? We were just about to come and look for you." A man with a scorpion tattoo on his left shoulder stated the moment that he saw Jaden coming over.

"I just had to handle something else. Okay, are all of you here?" Jaden immediately asked, playing the role of the leader of the group.

"Not really, we are currently spread in different areas. This is just to ensure that nobody escapes while we watch." The guy responded with a weird expression on his face.

He did not understand why the leader asked, when he was the one that had instructed before that they should spread out.

"Okay, call for everyone to come over right now." Jaden instructed.

"Huh?" The scorpion tattooed guy was dumbfounded. They were supposed to come over? Then what about watching over that family? This was the mission that they had been given, and if they failed, the consequences were not things that they would want to face.

But just as he was about to ask, just to confirm, Jaden suddenly changed his expression, expressing his anger. "Do I need to explain to you anything when I tell you to do something? Hurry up and do it already! We don't have all day."
