Understanding the System, Arrival

After leaving the company, Jaden did not care much about the looks that he was receiving. To him, all of that did not matter at all, instead, all that he cared about was the next mission that the system was about to offer him.

Instead of communicating with the system during the time that he was present in the building, he decided to go home first. There, he could communicate with the system once again, before planning his next step.

It was true that he had already joined a company, and a mission had already been arranged for him. But even then, considering the risks that were involved, it was better for him to be prepared for everything.

As for the details, he had been informed by Alex that he was going to receive it as long as he met with the person who was going to give him the job. As such, he had to be patient. He was to meet with the person the following day at eight in the morning, in the same company.

The moment that he arrived home, he immediately took off his suit since he was not that used to wearing those kind of clothes. After changing into his casual outfit, which made him feel quite comfortable, he immediately hopped on his bed and began communicating with the system.

'System, I have already completed the mission. Is there another one that has been offered for me to do?' Jaden asked excitedly. As long as there was a mission, he was going to make sure that he would complete it.

It would be better if he got a mission that could be completed right now. That way, he would be able to get a little stronger before beginning his job the next day where he was supposed to be someone's bodyguard.

[Responding to the host. New missions have not yet been granted considering that the host has not yet become someone's bodyguard. The host has to understand that the system is called The Bodyguard System.]

[As the title suggests, it is related to the host being a bodyguard. So, all the missions that are going to be given to the host from now on are going to be related to his bodyguard mission.]

Jaden was a little disappointed after hearing that. It seemed that he had to wait until he received the information about the job that he was going to do. Only then would he get missions from the system.

But even so, Jaden decided to ask for more information about the system. After all, considering the missions that would be given in the future, he had to understand them well. This was so he could exploit them to the maximum level possible and take advantage of them during the time that missions were given out.

Jaden went ahead and asked the questions, and the system immediately responded. According to the system, not all missions had to be completed. But even then, there were other missions that Jaden had no choice but to complete.

Of course, that was something that Jaden did not like. After all, that was like being forced to do something, even if it was going to be considered impossible. But even so, there was nothing that he could do, considering that right now, the system had already been permanently bound to him.

Nevertheless, according to the system, missions that were considered compulsory were ones with better rewards. So, although it was true that some of them would be risky, so long as he managed to complete them, he would be granted a reward according to the level of danger the mission involved.

Jaden finally got an understanding of the system and missions. With that understanding, he prepared himself, hoping that the following day, after meeting up with the person who had given him the job, he would get a mission from the system.

After finishing the discussion with the system, Jaden went ahead and relaxed. The moment that noon came, he went out to eat at a street stall that was located not far away from where he lived.

Jaden then went ahead and spent the rest of the day doing some chores. Since he was going to work as a bodyguard, it was obvious that he was not going to be available at his residency, at least during the time that he would be working.

...

The following morning, Jaden put on the new suit that he had purchased. The suit was bought using the money that he had been saving all this while. The suit cost him $115 to buy. The total remaining amount of money he had was $982.

Although it took a large chunk of his savings, Jaden did not have much of a choice. After all, he had to give off a good first impression on his first day at work. Additionally, he had to try to keep his job, because considering the system, so long as he did not have a job, then he would not get any missions.

Furthermore, it was not as if it was going to be easy for him to get a job that would pay him this well. So, with such a well-paying job, his standards of living would rise.

After completing all the preparations, Jaden immediately went to the company, the Assured Bodyguard Association.

When he arrived, he realized that the crowd that had been filling up the company's entrance had already disappeared. It seemed that something had happened the day before.

Recalling what Alex had said to him about him receiving assistance from the one who had given out the job, it seemed that he had already received the assistance that he required, and that was the reason why he had been able to solve the issue.

Jaden went ahead and entered the company building. The moment that he did so, he found that everything had been reorganized once again, and was in good condition.

After entering, he found that Alex was already waiting for him in the lounge area that was located on the ground floor of the building. He looked quite groomed as compared to before.

When he saw Jaden arriving, the worry in Alex's heart immediately disappeared. Although he had already agreed with Jaden that he was going to work for him to complete the assignment, it was not as if Jaden could not change his mind.

At the end of it all, it wasn't as if they had signed a contract the previous day. But now that Jaden was here, it implied that he had already accepted everything. Additionally, looking at the way that Jaden was dressed, it was clear that he was ready for the job.

"Welcome Jaden. It is good to see you again," Alex welcomed him with a warm expression on his face.

Jaden simply smiled back, as he accepted the greeting from Alex. Although it was true that Alex was currently his boss, the direct boss, considering the situation that Alex was in, it was Alex who was dependent on Jaden.

If at any time Jaden decided to no longer accept the job, Alex was going to be in trouble. But even so, it was not as if Jaden was planning to quit the job.

It was currently about 7:30 In the morning. So, there was a little over 30 minutes remaining until the meeting time.

The one that Jaden was supposed to meet had not yet arrived. Jaden did not say anything and just waited together with Alex, who had already arranged for someone to bring tea for the two of them.

As the two of them drank their tea, they chatted with each other casually. Of course, Alex was trying to get to know more about Jaden. He did not want something that had happened before to repeat itself again.

But even then, he believed that there was no way that Jaden was going to do anything like that. After all, where he was going to work was at a completely different level as compared to where that guy had stolen from.

As they casually chatted with each other, time moved on, and finally, just about five minutes before eight, somebody arrived at the entrance of the lounge area.

The person who had arrived was a man who seemed to be in his late forties. But even then, Jaden could see that white hair had already begun appearing on his temples.

He possessed medium-length blonde hair and green eyes. He was currently wearing a high-end suit while possessing an authoritative demeanour.

He walked over with a straight posture, while his slightly muscular body and authoritative demeanour could easily intimidate a person. Had it not been for Jaden's past experience, he would have been flustered in front of this middle-aged man.

His expression was calm. But even then, at a closer inspection, Jaden could see that there was a hint of worry in his eyes, hidden behind the calmness that was shown on his face.

The moment that the middle-aged man arrived, he immediately looked at Jaden. Since he was quite familiar with Alex, so, the moment that he saw Jaden was present, he immediately knew that he was the one that he was going to meet.

Looking at him, he could not help but raise his brows a little. But even so, he did not say anything as he was welcomed by Alex. As a form of courtesy, Jaden also stood up, before the three of them finally sat on the couches, with Alex and Jaden facing the middle-aged man.
