The Bodyguard System

Matthew stood in front of Blue Seal hotel as he nervously looked towards the entrance to the parking lot. He was waiting for Jaden to come over, but he was still feeling uneasy

He did not know that much about Jaden's background, but he understood that Jaden definitely possessed a background that was formidable. For him to be able to take over Nightstar Security company, it was definitely not that easy.

Until now, Matthew did not know that much about Jaden. Even though they had interacted several times, but it was not enough for him to be able to tell Jaden's personality.

Previously, he had promised that he would be able to invite all the owners of the security companies present within the city, but he had failed to invite some of them.

There was nothing that he could do in order to force those two to come over. After all, they possessed more power than him. Even though he currently was the CEO of the biggest security company present in the city, that did not imply that he possessed the same power as them.

At the end of it all, he was just managing someone else's business. He would have been able to sway them if he possessed complete ownership of the company.

As for the others that had come over, Matthew understood that it was not because of his reputation, but instead, it was due to the curiosity that they possessed towards the owner of Nightstar security company.

Just as he was waiting, he suddenly noticed a commotion towards the entrance of the parking lot of the hotel. At this moment, three vehicles rushed towards the parking lot.

From the way that they were moving, it was as if they were running away from the police. Nonetheless, the moment that the two vehicles stopped, three figures rushed out of the cars, heading towards the entrance of Blue Seal hotel.

At first, Matthew was a little stunned, the moment that he saw the three figures. They were all sweaty, indicating that they had been running before they got in the cars, and they were running at the moment, rushing towards him.

And, Matthew was even more flabbergasted the moment that he realized who those three people were. Two of them were the ones that had refused to come, while the other one was their friend, someone that collaborated with them.

Just as he was about to stop them and ask what they were running here for, the three of them looked at him before asking simultaneously, "Where is the venue? We are getting late!"

Matthew was even more dumbfounded the moment that he heard the question. For a moment there, he did not know how to reply to that. He was not sure if they were looking for the same venue that he had organized, or they had another venue of their own.

As he was still perplexed, not knowing what to answer, someone suddenly grabbed his collar and asked, "I am asking you, where is the venue? If you make me late for even a second, believe me, I will make sure that you will be ruined completely."

Matthew looked at the person who was grabbing the collar of his shirt, with his eyes widened, with a tinge of red within them. Matthew wondered if this guy had gone crazy.

But the moment that he looked at the others, he realized that they were in the same condition as the one that was grabbing him.

Nonetheless, he decided to direct them to the venue that he had organized. After all, during the cold, Jaden had told him that these people would be there before Jaden arrived. And, Jaden had yet to arrive, but these three had already gotten here.

"It is in the 3rd VVIP room that is on the seventh floor." Matthew stated as he shook away the hand that was grabbing him.

The one that was holding him did not mind, and immediately rushed past Matthew, and the three of them headed straight into the hotel.

Looking at the three figures that were scurrying into the hotel, Matthew could not help but be amazed by Jaden's capability. At the same time, he could not help but get a little more nervous, considering that he had failed the task that Jaden had given him.

When they first met, he had thought that Jaden was just a spoiled rich kid, who was out here to waste money. But now, he felt that Jaden was getting more and more mysterious.

And just as he was thinking about that, he suddenly noticed a BMW 7 series that was approaching. The car was approaching the parking lot.

As compared to the many vehicles that could be found in the parking lot of the hotel, the BMW 7 series looked quite odd, considering that it was the cheapest vehicle present.

Nonetheless, Matthew got even more nervous the moment that he saw the vehicle. He understood that it was Jaden's car. Still, in his mind, he could not help but wonder why Jaden could not get a better vehicle, when he could afford it.

He immediately walked towards the parking lot, just when Jaden had alighted. Matthew immediately went ahead and stretched his hand for a greeting.

"It's good to see you Matthew." Jaden said in a neutral voice as he shook Matthew's hand. Then, he asked, "Have they all arrived?"

"Yes. They have all arrived. I will lead the way to the venue." Matthew said as he led towards the entrance of the hotel.

The moment that they reached the reception area, Jaden saw that the lady behind the counter had not changed at all. He simply waved at her, and she waved back at him.

She did not try stopping the two of them, considering that Matthew had already made reservations here. And since Jaden was accompanying Matthew, there was no problem at all.

The two of them got inside an elevator, before getting to the seventh floor, and getting inside VVIP room number 3.

The moment that they stepped into the room, Jaden realized that there were six people that were seated around the table. Three of them were chatting with each other casually, while three others were sweaty and looked panicky.

And when Jaden and Matthew entered, everyone noticed them. The three who were currently sweating, and their bodies were trembling slightly suddenly stood up on their feet.

As for the other three, they were obviously stunned by the actions of the three. Nonetheless, they continued sitting down, while eyeing Jaden who had come in.

To say the least, all the six people inside the room were surprised as they looked at Jaden. Just from how Matthew was walking behind Jaden as they came in, it was clear that the person that was walking in front of him was having a higher authority than him.

Just from this, they could immediately tell that this was perhaps the owner of Nightstar Security company. But, as expected, they were surprised by how young he was. They got curious about his background immediately.

Jaden on the other hand did not say anything, and went ahead and took a seat around the table. It was a round table, without anywhere that was designated to be for the person with the highest command.

This was something that Jaden had decided on, otherwise, Matthew would have arranged otherwise. Nonetheless, Jaden was having a plan of his own by having this setup.

The moment that he took his seat, Matthew looked at the people around the table and introduced them.

"This is my boss and the owner of Nightstar security company." Matthew stated. But, he did not even bother to introduce the others to Jaden.

Of course, this was something that made the other three displeased. As for the three that had rushed over during the last minutes, they did not say anything, and neither did they show anything on their faces.

"Matthew, are you not going to introduce us?" One of the men among the three people that had come over first asked with annoyance plastered on his face.

"Is there a need for you to be introduced? I think that there is no need for that, because I don't think that you are qualified enough for my boss to know you." Matthew responded.

Of course, he was not sure about Jaden's background, but nonetheless, he decided to say this, just to flatter Jaden. He was not sure if this was going to work, and as he said those words, he glanced at Jaden from the corner of his eyes, to see his reaction.

But Matthew was disappointed the moment that he realized that Jaden did not seem to react to what he had said. Nonetheless, since Jaden was not angry, at least, it implied that it was not a wrong move him to do that.

"Just who the hell do you think you are? Just because you are currently the new owner of Nightstar security company, you think that you can look down upon us?" The man who had asked the question looked at Jaden as he asked again, this time, with anger clear on his face.

Matthew had not expected that. He had expected that if this guy was angered by what he had said, he would confront him. But, he was actually confronting Jaden, which was something that was completely unplanned.

Matthew was just about to say something when Jaden suddenly raised his hand to stop him. Then, Jaden looked at the man in front of him before ignoring the question.

"I invited you here today simply because of one thing. I would like to purchase all the companies from you, because I want to make Nightstar Security company the monopoly of the security industry in this city." Jaden laid out his plan.
