Getting A System In A Modern World

"Hik... Big brother, please come fast before anyone dies. Please, I don't want anyone to die, big brother. Please come fast."

Silas has never felt so much pain, anger and bloodlust in his life. He felt like millions of knifes were cutting through his heart at the same time and he wanted nothing more than to kill and destroy everything, and everyone related to Daniel.

He had never heard Alex being so scared before and from his voice, Silas knew that he was breaking down.

Silas felt extremely angry with himself for not doing enough. He felt angry for not taking care of Daniel when he got information of his presence in California.

He knew that there was no justification for him to take actions then but still, he felt that he should had done something at least.

Even giving him a scare and warning him to stay off his family would had been something but he was so overconfident to the point of arrogance. And now he has it.

Silas gritted his teeth in anger as he thought of what to do. He was still in the plane and on his way to the Dav Jose.

It would still take him a couple of hours to get there and he doesn't know what would had happened before he got there.

He knew that he has to comfort Alex and let him that everything would be alright. He brought the quantum smartwatch close to his mouth and started talking.

"Alex, can you hear me?" Silas asked.

Almost immediately, Silas heard the sound of Alex crying.

"Big brother!" Alex broke down even more when he heard Silas' voice.

Silas eyes reddened immediately in rage when he heard Alex breaking down in tears. He wanted nothing more than to instantly teleport to Alex's position but there was no way for him to do that as he doesn't have the ability to.

He would had immediately bought the teleportation knowledge if it would help him to do that.

"Alex, I'm sorry for everything. Just stay strong. I'm on my way now," Silas said, doing his best to comfort him.

He knew that no matter what he says, it would change the current situation but he just wants his little brother to stop crying.

Alex's tears felt like millions of sharp needles were pricking his heart.

"Big brother!" Alex broke down once again.

It took Silas a while but he was able to comfort him and stop him from crying.

Silas' face darkened as he thought of how to go about taking care of Daniel. He was maintaining decorum with the US government but with this incident, he would fall out completely with them

He would take matters into his own hands and give himself the comes compensation he deserves.

Silas wasn't worried if the US government was going to deny any connections to the incident as their stance mattered very little to him.

He would do as he wishes and there was nothing is going to stop him or hold him back.

Silas decided to put a call to Elizabeth. He didn't know if she was aware of what Daniel was doing but it mattered very little if she doesn't.

"You have done your best to push me to a wall. It's time I fight back. I just hope you are ready for what's to come," Silas said immediately after the call was picked and hung up afterwards.

He did give her any time to respond or ask any questions. He continued to look out the porthole, observing the clouds and anxiously waiting for when the plane would land.

*****

Inside a coffee shop, Elizabeth looked at her phone in a mixture of surprise and confusion. She didn't understand what Silas meant by pushing him to a wall.

As far as she knew, they hadn't done anything....

"Shit!" She exclaimed in realization and immediately put a call through to Daniel.

She anxiously waited for it to ring and for Daniel to pick up but it came back as unavailable. She knew that something was definitely wrong and she immediately became anxious.

She was about to tell her team to start moving when the owner of the coffee shop hurriedly switched to a news channel.

David was about to ask Elizabeth why she was getting worked up but when he followed her eyes and saw the news, he could sigh in exasperation.

He turned to look at her to ask the question he already knew the answer to.

"Is it him?"

Elizabeth nodded and closed her eyes tiredly.

"Silas just called and he sounds very pissed. We have to do something or we are all going down with him," Elizabeth said as she forced herself to stand up from her seat.

David sighed one more time and also stood up. He looked at others who were still seated and watching the news with almost similar expression on their faces.

"That bastard! It's all about his revenge, revenge and revenge. Now he had gone ahead and done it. Look what he has gotten us into. Fuck!" Pablo cursed angrily and slammed his hand on the coffee table.

He angrily stood up and left the coffee shop. He wasn't the only one feeling very angry with the current development of things.

They knew with how things are right now, the encounter with Silas that they have been avoiding for a very long time is inevitable.

They either fight or allow themselves to get beaten up. They wanted nothing more than to tear Daniel into pieces when they realized the sticky situation they are in now.

"Let's move out, guys," Elizabeth said and took one more look at the TV, before walking out the coffee shop.

The other Phenomenals sighed and followed behind with a gloomy face. They felt that today might just be their last day being alive.

A red car screeched to a stop in front of Westfield Hills Academy. A young lady got out of the car and looked at the school in front of her.

She looked around to confirm if she was really at the right place.

"It's true! It's real! Those dreams... Everything I saw, it was real! I'm not crazy!" The young lady was ecstatic when she came to realization.

"Now, what do I do? How can I save Silas little brother?" The young lady asked as she started pacing around anxiously.

If Silas saw the lady pacing around anxiously outside the school, he would recognize her immediately. As she's no other than Chloe.
