The Bodyguard System

Silence descended upon the room the moment that Jaden said those words. Everyone was looking at him with widened eyes filled with disbelief. It was clear that they were finding it difficult to believe what Jaden had just said.

The only one who was not surprised by what Jaden had said was none other than Matthew. He had already thought about what Jaden was planning, by inviting all these people over.

Nonetheless, he felt that this scene was quite familiar. After all, this was what had really happened back then, when Jaden wanted to take over the shares of the other shareholders in the company.

Matthew was interested in what was going to happen next. Previously, Jaden had been able to easily convince the other shareholders of Nightstar security company to give up the ownership of the shares and sell them to him.

Of course, back then, he had simply used his wealth in order to be able to purchase the shares. Could it be that he was planning to use the same approach here? Matthew curiously watched on as he stood behind Jaden.

"You are joking, right? You think that I'm going to sell my company to you? Dream on! That is not going to happen as long as I am alive." One of them exclaimed. Of course, it was one of the people that had been here first.

The other two immediately echoed what he had said. It was clear that they were not willing to sell the companies that they owned to another person. Even though they understood that currently, they were having a lot of pressure from Nightstar security company, but that was not enough to make them give up on owning a company.

Jaden had already expected that. So, he looked towards the three people that had finally sat down, yet they had not said anything.

The three of them were looking at Jaden with trepidation in their eyes. It was clear that they were wary of Jaden. And, when he said that he wanted to purchase the companies that they owned, reluctance could be seen in their eyes, but they never voiced it out.

These three people surprised the other three. In any case, two of them owned security companies, or at least, they were the major shareholders of the companies that they owned shares in.

They were supposed to disagree with something like this, considering that the five of them had been planning to collaborate with each other in order to deal with Nightstar security company. But now, it seemed that they were hesitating.

"Are you sure about that?" Jaden asked with raised brows.

"Of course we are sure. What do you think? You think that just because you managed to purchase Nightstar security company, you will be able to purchase my company? That is an impossibility. Whatever methods you used before, they are not going to work on me." One of them retorted.

Jaden nodded. He then looked at the three that had not said anything until now before saying, "I'm going to give you a chance. You are going to sell the shares of your company to me according to the market price. But if you don't want to do that, I don't really mind taking the companies from you without giving you anything in return."

The moment that Jaden said those words, four people in the room were completely stunned. They did not know where Jaden was getting that kind of confidence from.

Even though Matthew could somehow understand what was going on, but he was still in the dark about the reason why Jaden was so bold with his words.

"I… I agree. I will sell all the shares that are in my hand to you. As for the rest, I will convince the others to sell them to you." One of the three that were addressed by Jaden spoke up with hesitation.

The moment that he said those words, the other two immediately followed suit. Even though one of them was not in the security company, still, he owned a company. And, he was the one that was collaborating with the two in supplying equipment.

Still, considering how big this issue was, he had no choice but to sell the company that he owned 100% shares of. At least, he would be able to get back the money from the company, considering that Jaden had said that he was going to buy his company at the market price.

With that money, he should be able to invest in another area, while trying to make sure that he stayed clear from Jaden. No matter what, he would never want to meet him.

The other three were left in the dark, as they looked on wide-eyed. They did not understand anything that was going on here.

A young man whom they believed to be from some kind of big background, suddenly came over claiming that he wanted to buy the companies that they owned.

Then all of a sudden, the two that had been in collaboration with them in order to deal with this giant, suddenly decided to give up along the way.

With the two of them suddenly deciding to sell the companies that they owned to Nightstar Security company, it was clear that the power of Nightstar Security company was going to increase by a tremendous margin.

As for them, without the collaboration of the two, it was clear that the power of the alliance was going to diminish by a great margin. And with that, it would be completely impossible for them to be able to resist Nightstar Security company.

They wanted to ask the three what they were thinking about to agree to something like that, when the three suddenly rushed out of the room. At the same time, they exclaimed, "We will prepare the documents and be back here within the shortest time possible!"

The moment that the three of them left, only five people were left inside the private room. These five people looked at each other, before one of them finally asked curiously.

"What did you do to them? Did you bribe them to act? It is impossible for them to sell the companies that they have to you." One of them asked as he looked at Jaden with a questioning gaze.

"You can decide on that. But, I'm going to give you a chance. Just like them, you sell the companies or the shares that you hold to me at the market price. Otherwise, things will definitely get a little more difficult for you." Jaden shrugged as he said those words.

"I'm quite curious about what it is that can make you force me into a difficult situation. Even if Nightstar Security company is bigger than my company, I don't believe that I cannot do any damage to your company if you force me into a corner." One of them said as he glared at Jaden.

Jaden did not say anything in response. Instead, he looked towards the other two, waiting for their response.

The two of them clearly hesitated. They did not understand the reason why those three seemed so worked up. It was clear that there was something that was going on here.

The two of them understood the other three quite well. They were not the ones that could be easily threatened, being forced into submission.

They could see how reluctant those three had been to sell the companies that they held, but in the end, they agreed nonetheless. From this, it was clear that there was something hidden about this young man that was sitting in front of them.

"I will agree to sell the shares to you. But, I cannot promise you that I can convince the other shareholders in the company to sell the shares that they hold to you. You will have to convince them yourself." One of them suddenly spoke up.

When he said those words, the other two were obviously stunned. They looked at him skeptically, while showing hints of questioning. They were wondering if there was something that was hidden that he was not telling them.

But the man was completely clueless. He did not understand what was going on, but he understood one thing, he could not take a risk like this. It was better for him to take the money and invest somewhere else, rather than risking to know what was happening, and end up losing everything.

It was clear that the young man in front of him was not simple. After all, it was not easy for a person to be able to acquire all the shares of a huge company such as Nightstar security company.

Immediately after he said those words, he did not linger around anymore. Instead, he got up and left the room, so that he could prepare the necessary documents for the transfer of shares.

Jaden simply nodded at what the man had said. He did not mind convincing the other shareholders in that company himself.

Jaden then looked at the remaining two, but the two of them did not budge even after an entire minute had gone by.

"Okay then. Since that is the decision that you have made, then so be it." Jaden said.

Immediately after saying those words, he got to his feet, and headed towards the exit of the private room. This left the other two wondering what Jaden was planning to do. But, they did not ask, and neither did they change their minds. It was clear that they were going to remain steadfast in the decision that they had made.

But just as he arrived at the door, the entrance of the private room was suddenly opened, and someone that Jaden was familiar with walked in.
