Chapter 362 Exposed
Looking at the figure that was approaching, Jaden was quite calm. The reason behind that are being that despite feeling a sense of danger coming from the other party, it was not to the level that it felt completely threatening.
Jaden had learned to trust this feeling that he always got from time to time. The first time that he had ever gotten this feeling was when he met with that person that had been together with Lucas Smith.
And now, knowing the history and the background of the Smith family, Jaden understood that the feeling that he had gotten at that time was real. If it just happened that that person was actually a mutant, even with his intermediate level combat skills, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to fight against him.
In fact, if that guy really wanted to kill him, Jaden would have been dead by now. And relating the feeling that he had gotten back then, and to the one that he was getting at the moment, Jaden understood that the kind of danger that he had felt that time was higher as compared to the one that he was feeling at the moment.
Well, one has to understand that that did not imply that that person was stronger than the person that he was facing at the moment. Even though Jaden was not clear about the power level of the other person that he had met before, but there was a possibility that that person was stronger than this guy here, but it was also possible that he was weak.
After all, back then, Jaden was not as strong as he currently was. That implied that if he met that man at the moment, there was a possibility that he might not feel the same sense that he had gotten back then.
John had also noticed that there was something that was approaching them. He could not help but frown. He did not know what it was that was approaching them, considering that it was currently dark.
But he believed that whatever it was that was approaching them was not good. If it turned out to be an elephant, then they would be in trouble if they continued being in the car.
But the possibility of something like that happening was quite low. After all, elephants could not be easily found within this forest that was just outside of Rezi city.
As a member of the special unit, he obviously possessed information about this province. He understood the kinds of animals that could be found within the forests that surrounded different cities, that was the reason why he was confident that the probability of the elephant being here was low.
Additionally, from the previous attack that had been launched at them, even though he did not understand the source, he believed that there might be a group of mercenaries that were currently using high level technology to attack them.
As for the doors of the phantom in front of them, the doors of that car did not open at all. That implied that both the mercenary that had kidnapped the target, and the target himself, were all inside that car.
As for the state of the two people, it was hard to tell. There was a possibility that the target had already been killed, but there was yet another probability that the target was still alive. Still, John just hoped that the target was still alive.
Jaden only looked at the figure that was approaching a distance away, before shifting his attention to trying to detect any movements around them.
And at this moment, even though it was faint, heard a conversation. It was a conversation between a man and a lady. The first person that he heard speaking was a man.
"This is completely unexpected. I never thought that we were actually dealing with a mutant. And it is a mutant that we have never heard of, and it seems that this mutant was not registered under any force."
"What do you think? They sent the three of us here. Just from the fact that your ability was not able to crash that car, it is clear that whoever it is that we are dealing with at the moment is not ordinary."
"Can you not mention that? It is not as if I am happy that I was not able to destroy that car. Maybe he has something that is able to counter my ability. Let's watch and see how steel is going to deal with him."
"That guy is just a muscle head. He is full of muscles, even though they are currently turned into still. But with his speed, he will need the target to stay in the same place to hit them. That is the reason why even though I am not as strong as he is, he cannot beat me."
"You are talking as if you can beat him. You don't have enough strength to be able to deal with him. And once he turns into still, his defense is incredible. With those feeble attacks of yours, you cannot even cause a scratch on him."
"Humph! This is the same situation as a kettle calling a pot black. Between you and I, who is fragile than the other? With just a single punch from me, I'm pretty sure that I can take you out."
"Do you think that I will let you get close to me? If you try attacking me, I can easily deal with you before you even get close to me."
"Are you sure? You have always avoided a fight with me. Why don't we try that out now? I'm pretty sure that steel will be able to deal with that guy for quite a while, even if he doesn't kill him. We can use distance to find out who is stronger.
I'm pretty sure that I will beat you down, and since you have already failed, we don't really need you this time. So, I'll just beat you up fast enough, then go over and deal with that brat."
"Are you looking down on me? Had it not been that we are currently on a mission, and we cannot afford to fail, I would have entertained you."
"Tsk! Just say that you are afraid to fight. No need for you to give those pesky excuses."
That was all that Jaden managed to hear. But he could not continue listening to the rest of the conversation between the two of them, even though he could hear that they were continuing to speak.
At this moment, he already understood that there were three people that had come over to attack. One of them obviously possessed a telekinesis ability like himself, capable of attacking from a distance.
That was definitely the person that had attacked first. As for the next person that was causing the ground to shake slightly, it was clear that this was the person called Steel.
As for the lady, it seemed that she had an ability that could increase her speed. It was that speed that she was using to assassinate the target as fast as possible before they could react.
Jaden was currently staring directly at the figure that was looking back at him. This guy called steel had come over, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he just stood there, looking at the car.
Currently, the window of the car had been rolled down, which allowed this guy to be able to clearly see into the car. That was the reason why this guy was looking at Jaden and John inside the car.
Jaden could finally see the appearance of the person who had come over. It was a man who was currently wearing a vest that seemed to be quite small for him. It was not about fitting his body, but it just seemed to be quite small when it came to the length.
The appearance of this person was completely silver in color, including even his eyelids. Jaden was not sure about the eyes, considering that with the current light that was provided by the headlights of the car, he could not clearly see the eyes of this guy who was standing at the side of the car.
"Well, this is quite a surprise. It seems that it is true that you are a mutant. It is no wonder that you are not surprised by the fact that a mutant like I, is here to kill you." Steel said with a voice that was so rough that it nearly made Jaden's teeth ache.
Upon hearing those words, John was so shocked. Jaden was actually a mutant? And, from the looks of it, this guy was here, targeting Jaden? Just what was going on?
The Information that they had received was clear that it was a small mercenary group that was targeting a business person. How did it suddenly turn into someone else targeting Jaden?
Additionally, the information about Jaden being his bodyguard was not something that had been publicized. That indicated that only a few people with high status knew about it, other than the members of the special unit team that he belonged to.
A mutant. Jaden was actually a mutant! John was obviously finding it difficult to believe it. But at the same time, it felt quite logical to him, when he thought about it.
After all, the abilities that Jaden had shown until this time indicated that he was clearly not an ordinary person. Was that not the same reason that he had gone ahead to try and find information about Jaden?
And, even after going to crazy extents, he did not find any information that satisfied him. It was clear that Jaden was a mutant, and that was the reason why the information about him was concealed.
Jaden did not care about John's expression. At this moment, he understood that the fact that he was currently a mutant was not going to be concealed anymore.
So, he went ahead and pushed the door of the car, trying to open it. But due to the pressure that had been exerted previously, it was impossible for him to be able to open the door.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But just by applying pressure, Jaden easily broke the door of the car, and got out of the car under the shocked gazes of the two people that were watching him.
