Shield is a private corporation that provides bodyguards for important people, from politicians, wealthy families, to artists in need of protection.As long as they pay, Shield will send their personnel to guard the VIP.At the start of the mission, a team leader sits with five bodyguards, guarding a team of three researchers entering a beast-occupied area to gather some poisonous herbs samples that grow near the beasts area, hoping to find a poison that could kill the creatures. Two Hummer trucks drive across the abandoned city.The team leader, scanning the surroundings with a stern look, calls out, "Alex, you need to protect this professor from any harm. That is your mission. Do you understand?""Yes," Alex replies, looking at the professor and starting to guard him closely. From morning to afternoon, Alex follows just about five steps behind the professor, ignoring the other bodyguards and researchers."We got all we want," the professor says, looking at the herbs the research t
Alex's next bodyguard task is to follow the team and guard an elderly woman who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.She refused to work with a Petro Chemistry Company due to her old age, but the company cannot accept the rejection.The company went as far as to say, "If you cannot help me, then you cannot help the rest," and now they are targeting to kill the old woman.Shield sends four bodyguards to protect the woman.The team leader looks at the simple house of the old woman Kathy.It is modest and cozy, with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The walls are lined with bookshelves filled with scientific texts and awards. The living room has a small, worn-out sofa, and the kitchen is simple but tidy.Outside, the garden is well-kept, with blooming flowers and a few garden gnomes.He calls Alex. "You guard Kathy inside and don't let anyone enter. Can you do it?""Yes," Alex replies."You two, check the perimeter. Be ready, as we got intel there will be an attack soon," the team leader instruc
Alex is called for the next job. This time, they are tasked with guarding a company about to be robbed by disgruntled workers.There are five bodyguards from the SHEILD. They are taking to one of the factory hall and each guarding a room filled with money and important documents.The rooms are close to each other. The team leader looks at Alex with dissatisfaction. Since it is the second time, they are together."You idiot, remember this door is your responsibility. Guard it by yourself. Don't let anyone pass this door!"Alex stands by the door and begins guarding it.“If anyone pass this door, you will be fired!”After just three hours, the whole place turns into chaos as hundreds of workers, accompanied by superhumans they hired, attack the hall and want to get into the room.The guards from SHIELD are fighting to win over the attackers, but they are losing count. Many guards are already injured, hit by the superhumans and workers.When some demonstrators find Alex, they start to at
The driver takes Alex to one of the big gates, driving about 60 km per hour for 20 minutes and passing a dense line of trees that resemble a jungle. They finally reach the front of a grand mansion.A large fountain with five exquisite angel statues stands there, their wings the most intricate Alex has ever seen. The mansion itself is as grand as an old castle, reminiscent of a luxurious, old-style hotel.The driver, one of the team leaders from The SHIELD, escorts Alex to join twenty young people. Each is dressed in various uniforms—some in SWAT gear, police uniforms, military attire, and even karate uniforms.“Alex, stand with the other bodyguards and don't say anything,” the driver instructs.“Yes,” Alex replies, standing there like a stone.They wait for about an hour. A very beautiful woman walks by, accompanied by a butler and two people who seem to be her right-hand men, hanging on her every word.Her presence is commanding, and the air around her seems to shimmer with authority
The butler is shocked as he hears Alex’s statement and looks at Shield’s Team leader, "Did this guy mean he wants to give up?"The team leader hurriedly takes Alex aside to the corner and asks in whisper, "You want to cancel your private guard status because of the first rule? This is a fucking good job!""No, this is not," Alex replies. "I want to have a good job so I can have good food and a good sleep. It is a bad job if I can't have a good sleep!""Do you even know how much you will get paid monthly for your time?" The team leader appears stressed. "It's about ten times your normal bodyguard job.""Still, my sleep is the most important thing." Alex says seriously."Can't you just not sleep?""I can for a day or two, but for a week, that is impossible!""But maybe when you work here, you will never find any event where you need to stay awake for seven weeks. All he said is just a preparation for your mental state.""Still, I don't want to lie. I cannot handle it.""Then lie. For th
Alex is taken to the bodyguards' management building, where Sophia's security team has a meeting.Whenever Sophia needs to go out in public, she is accompanied by about 25 bodyguards. These twenty-five individuals must follow strict protocols and blend seamlessly with the crowd to ensure Sophia has private space while maintaining her safety.They usually operate in two shifts for day and night shift.Alex sits on a chair among fifty other bodyguards, briefing for the tomorrow schedule as Sophia plans to go to the theater with her best friend.The team leader is efficiently organizing the movement of twenty-five bodyguards, rotating them to guard Sophia every 10 to 15 minutes.This frequent rotation helps maintain a discreet presence and ensures the guards stay alert and focused, making it appear natural yet highly structured.“Alex, you’re new, so you need to learn about this,” the team leader says, pointing at a detailed map.“First, you will follow Miss Sophia, then at this corner,
The butler glares at Alex with fury, jabbing his finger into Alex’s chest repeatedly. "You are nothing but a lowly bodyguard! How dare you attack your colleagues?""So, you think when they want to attack me, I should just let them?" Alex retorts, his voice steady but laced with simmering frustration."You new guy, you better listen to me, when your senior wants to teach you, just accept it!" the butler insists.Alex steps forward, closing the distance between them. Showing his displeasure, “Are you saying they can attack me and it’s not wrong, but me defending myself is?”The butler, not a bodyguard and without martial arts or superhuman abilities, suddenly steps back in fear.“You are fired! Get out of this place,” he yells, his voice shaking.Alex smirks. “I was waiting for that. Please, protect your young miss with all these losers. If someone pays me to kill her, none of your people here can stop me.”“You are so arrogant,” the team leader says, stepping forward.“Do you think I’m
Sophia sleeps naked beside a naked Alex, about a meter apart. "Alex," she calls softly."Yes?" he responds, his voice tentative."We have kissed and slept naked together, right?"Alex tries to understand what Sophia wants but simply answers, "Yes, miss.""You can just call me Sophia," she says, standing up and putting her clothes back on. "Since we have kissed and slept together, we are now husband and wife."Alex is too shocked to fully grasp her words. They weren't even touching, let alone having sex.They were simply sleeping naked next to each other, only sharing a kiss. But he decides to play along. "Yes," he replies."Go wear your clothes now," Sophia instructs.He has no other option but to follow. He puts on his clothes and sits on a chair that Sophia has prepared. There is a paper on the table."Since we are already sleeping together, I want you to sign the marriage paper," she says firmly."Yes," Alex says, following the charade and signing the paper."This paper will be se
