The Bodyguard System

The people around could not help but feel that John was extremely arrogant. He was actually thinking of fighting all of them at the same time? It might be true that they were not top combatants, but still, they possessed fighting capabilities.

Maybe they might have some difficulties when it came to defeating John, according to the reputation that they had heard about him, but fighting him by ganging up together against him, it was an exaggeration to say that they could not beat him, right?

For the others other than Jaden and the young lady, they believed that they were experienced enough, and it should not be much of a problem for them to be able to deal with John.

One of them was not happy with the arrogance that was displayed by John. He immediately took a step forward, and entered into the ring.

The ring did not have any ropes around, and just a raised platform. Despite that, it was quite big, measuring about 10 meters by 8 meters.

The moment that he stepped into the ring, he said, "I understand that young master John believes in his own capabilities. But you are overestimating your capabilities by believing that you can actually deal with all of us at the same time.

Let me demonstrate my capabilities, just to tell you that you have to understand that there are others that are way above you in this world."

The moment that he finished saying those words, he looked at John with an intimidating gaze. Even though he wanted to be John's bodyguard, that did not imply that he could allow John to crush his pride.

He was someone who had already been established in the bodyguard market for quite a while now. Even though his reputation was not at the top, still, it was amongst the best. Many people really wanted him to become their bodyguard, but he was the one that was doing the choosing now.

He did not come to work as a bodyguard for the Roberts because he wanted the high salary that was involved in this. Instead, it was simply because John was going to be dealing with a group of mercenaries that was well known.

He believed that as long as he defeated several well-known mercenaries from this group, his reputation would increase by a huge margin. Simply put, he was here because he wanted to increase his reputation.

John's expression did not change upon hearing those words. He remained extremely calm as he looked at the man in front of him.

"If you are ready, you can take the initiative to attack." John suddenly said when he saw that the man did not seem to have any other thing to add on what he had said.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When he said that, the other guy did not take this well. He felt that he was still being looked down upon by John. So, without hesitation, he stepped heavily onto the ground, before charging forward.

He had decided that even if John was a member of a big family within this city, he did not care. After all, they were currently in a sparring competition. Even if he ended up injuring John slightly, nobody was going to blame him, right?

As he thought of that, he decided not to hold back that much. Even though he was not holding back, he decided not to target the vital areas that might lead to John being fatally wounded.

His speed was something that surprised Jaden a little. He felt that the capability of this guy was almost at the same level as those guys, the two guys that had followed Ben Raymond in order to attack him.

But he felt that they were just a little weak as compared to those two. But maybe they possess another advantage that those two did not possess. So, Jack decided to watch as the two people in the ring fought against each other.

Bam!

The fist that had been thrown at John was easily blocked by John. Even though the fist possessed immense strength, it did not make John retreat at all. He did not even take a single step backwards.

This was something that surprised this man. He had not expected that the punch that he had thrown using his full strength was actually going to be easily dealt with by John.

Despite the surprise, he immediately retreated, while at the same time, he threw a kick towards John's head. The same, he was no longer being reserved. He felt that if he failed to defeat John despite what he had said, it was going to be a humiliation. And, the reputation that he had already built was going to crumble the moment that the information about what had happened here spread.

In the face of the kick that was heading for his head at an incredible speed, John merely raised his hand and grasped the ankle of the leg.

And just like that, not only had he stopped the attack, but he had also caught the attacker. The man tried to retrieve his leg, but no matter how much strength he used, he found that he could not make John budge.

In the next moment, John pulled the leg towards him. Since the man was currently standing on one leg, he was not capable of resisting the pull from John.

He was easily pulled over by John, and the moment that he arrived in front of John, John punched him in the chest. At the same time, he released the ankle of the leg that he was holding.

Bam!

The guy was suddenly thrown backwards, falling after flying for nearly a meter backwards. This was something that surprised everyone except for Jaden.

Before coming over, he had already gone through the information about John. He already understood that John possessed strength that was way beyond that of an ordinary person.

That was perhaps the reason why the system was so confident that within the next 6 days, there was not going to be even a single person that was going to be capable of defeating John. After all, with such strength, the strength that surpassed even the two that had come together with Raymond to cause trouble for Jaden, not just anybody could deal with him.

It was no wonder that John was actually the vice captain of the team that he belonged to. The special unit depended on the strength of a person in order to acquire the leadership position.

The moment that the man who had been attacked by John landed onto the ground, he held onto his chest with a pained expression on his face. It was clear that the attack from John, even though it had not broken his bones, it had caused him immense pain.

The man looked at John with fear in his eyes. Looking at John, it was as though he had not dealt with someone formidable. Instead, it was as though he had just dealt with a little kid, something that did not need him to strain.

Even though the man really wanted to go ahead and fight against John, after feeling that other than the pain, he had not suffered that much of an injury, he was self-conscious. He understood that the only reason why he could still stand up was simply because John had held back.

Otherwise, if John really went all out, it was impossible for him to be able to stand. And, just from the fact that he had been launched nearly one meter backwards, this indicated that John's control of his own strength was good.

After managing to stand up, he looked at John deeply, before turning around and leaving. He not only left the ring, but he left the gymnasium entirely. Since he had already lost, it was impossible for him to be able to become John's bodyguard.

As for the reputation, instead of getting better reputation, his reputation had gone down the drain after losing, when he had bragged about teaching John a lesson.

The others around were also surprised. At this moment, they finally understood the reason why John was so serious when he said that he really wanted to fight all of them at the same time. They finally understood that John really possessed the capability to become arrogant. In fact, it was not arrogance, but instead, it was confidence.

"Who is going to come up next? You have already seen my ability. So, if you know that you are not stronger than him, or just slightly above him, it is better for you not to waste our time. It is better for you to just leave." John spoke up after more than a few seconds of waiting.

The people around started looking at each other, before they began leaving one after the other. In the end, other than Jaden, only the young lady had remained, surprising John and Jaden, together with the two people that had come together with John.

Jaden was quite curious about the background of this young lady. As for John, he was looking at the two youngsters, wondering what made them stay. Could it be that he had not made himself clear?

Or maybe it was just the hot bloodedness in the youth, something that made these two convinced that they could actually beat him? Additionally, looking at their age, and considering that he did not know any of them, it was clear that the two of them were not established bodyguards.

"Are the two of you still interested in having a spar with me?" John asked while looking at the two curiously.

The moment that he asked, the young lady who had been nervous a single second ago suddenly took a step forward, and went onto the ring.
