The Bodyguard System

It had been a while since Matthew had seen Jaden. Nonetheless, he himself had been busy recently, considering that managing a company that was a monopoly of the entire city was not that easy.

That was especially so considering that the policy of the company kept on changing, and he had to integrate the new policies into the old ones, while eliminating some of those that did not match the current trend of the company.

To say the least, he had been quite busy, but he could never miss having a meeting with Jaden, especially considering that it was Jaden who had asked for this meeting.

Matthew did not understand the reason why Jaden did not go directly to the company for a meeting, but nonetheless, he came over and made the arrangements for the meeting between the two of them the moment that he was informed by Jaden.

"I want to transform the security company into a bodyguard company." Jaden suddenly said.

Matthew was shocked when he heard that. They had already dominated the security industry within this company. Now, Jaden wanted to transform the company into a bodyguard company? A bodyguard company did not have that big market as compared to the security company.

Could it be that Jaden was owning a company, just because he wanted to try things out? That was a possibility, but considering the strategies that Jaden was using, it was as if he had planned everything before.

"Mr. Moore, if I may be presumptuous, may I know the reason why you want to convert the security company into a bodyguard company?" Matthew expressed his curiosity.

"I understand that you are a little confused about this. But I just feel that there is a great potential in the bodyguard market. The bodyguard market is still within the security industry, and I do feel that using the experts that have been trained in our training camp for security is a waste.

For instance, you can find that the majority of the people who have graduated from the first batch are being assigned to guard a building that rarely faces any form of danger. This is a good thing for them, but still, they will never get a chance of using the skills that they have.

Instead, being a bodyguard, although risky, at least, they can use the skills that they have been training all this while. With this, many people will find that the training is important, rather than useless if they become bodyguards, instead of security guards." Jaden explained.

Matthew understood the concept that Jaden was trying to express. But nonetheless, he felt that it was not that much of a good idea to convert the security company that had already captured the market, into a bodyguard company.

If something like that happened, it was obviously going to cause a lot of dissatisfaction among the people in the city. And, venturing in the bodyguard market was going to be a little difficult, considering that they did not have any reputation within that field.

He went ahead and explained to Jaden about his concerns. And in response, Jaden fell into a moment of contemplation.

To say the truth, he had not really thought much about converting the security company into a bodyguard company. To him, he had only been thinking about converting the company into a bodyguard company, because that was the suggestion of the system.

According to the system, if this company was converted into a bodyguard company, he would be able to assign people into being bodyguards for several clients, and as long as they perform well, he would be able to gain rewards.

Currently, Jaden understood that again those big families that could be found within those first tier cities, he did not have enough capability of competing against them. Physically, he might be capable of doing that. But in terms of power and influence, he could not compare.

It was due to that reason that Jaden wanted to convert the company, have several people work as bodyguards, so that he could gain more rewards from the system. Perhaps he would be able to get more chances of getting those big companies that could not be purchased using just money.

But now that Matthew had talked about it, he suddenly realized that it was going to be a little trouble some for him to be able to conquer the bodyguard market, considering that he had zero reputation in that, while the other strategy of having trained security guards had just been initiated not long ago.

The majority of those that were working as security guards for the company were still untrained. It was only those that had been recently joining the company that had been undergoing the training first, before they were assigned to a post.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was part of the plan that after the newcomers had completed their training, those old employees would also undergo training, before they were assigned to different areas for security tasks.

"Okay. Let\'s do this. We can maintain the security part of the company, but we are going to start another part of the company, which is going to be the bodyguard side. We should be able to train a few bodyguards, and look for those that are in need of bodyguards. That way, it should be quite simple for us to be able to establish ourselves in the bodyguard market." Jaden said after a moment of thought.

Matthew was amazed. Initially, he did not have that much hope when he told Jaden that it was not a good idea for them to convert the security company into a bodyguard company. But it seemed that Jaden had another idea, and was willing to listen.

"That can definitely work. In fact, we can take those that performed well in the training camp, and train them according to the way of the bodyguard. Then, after a while, it should not be that difficult for them to handle the tasks of being a bodyguard." Matthew said.

Being a security guard was completely different from being a bodyguard. It might be true that a security guard might work as a bodyguard, but that was not professional enough for a big company like Nightstar.

Those were things that could only work for those small companies, like Assured Bodyguard Association that Jaden had joined, before getting the job of being a bodyguard for the Johnson family.

For a big company like Nightstar, a person would have to undergo professional training first, even if they possessed fighting skills. After all, being a bodyguard was not just about how good one was at fighting.

There might be situations where it didn\'t matter how good one was at fighting, a good example being if one was facing an enemy that was having a gun.

Jaden immediately communicated with the AI after pretending to be receiving a call, asking it to make arrangements for him to get those candidates that matched the bodyguard profession.

He was not willing to take a very long time, considering that he might have to move to another city, in order to start his task as a bodyguard with a new client.

After he went back in, he informed Matthew to make the necessary arrangements for the company to start the bodyguard branch. The advertisements and so on should start, but the time for them to start taking the bodyguard tasks would be announced later on.

As for those that were going to work as bodyguards, Matthew had to leave that to Jaden, as Jaden was the one with more information about those that had been in the training camp, despite Matthew paying attention to them as well. Well, he could not access as much information as Jaden could, through the AI.

With that out of the way, Jaden prepared to go back and make arrangements on how to train this group of bodyguards, so that they can be qualified enough to be able to handle the easy tasks of guarding those small big bosses.

At least for now, Jaden was not willing to assign them to any big tasks, those tasks that involved big dangers. It might be true that with danger, as long as they rescued the client that they would be protecting at that time, Jaden will be able to get a better reward, but if they failed, Jaden would obviously receive a blame.

It was not only from the system which was going to punish him by taking something from him, but even the company\'s reputation was going to be affected. So, it was better to start with those small ones, before trying the big ones after the group that he was training had gotten more experienced.

Just as Jaden was walking out of the hotel, intending to head towards the parking lot to leave this area and go back to his villa, he suddenly met with Castro. And, Castro was not alone, but instead, he was together with Scarlet, Sylvia, and another young man.

"Wow! That is completely unexpected. What a coincidence to meet with you here today Jaden." Castro said with a wide smile on his face.

Sylvia looked at Jaden complicatedly, before looking at Scarlet who was not even looking at Jaden at all. As for the young man who was walking beside Scarlet, he looked at Jaden with an unfriendly gaze.
