Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Looming Threat, Anticipation
Silas was more than ready to face Daniel and his circus. He told Luna to continue monitoring every single one of them and to report their movements back to him.

He also told her to tighten the security around his family. He wants to make sure that his Dad, Kim and Alex doesn’t get caught in the crossfire.

Another reason why he asked Luna to tighten the security around his family is because of a bad premonition he has and also his understanding of Daniel’s character.

Silas knew that what Daniel wants is revenge. He wants to avenge everything that Silas did to him, from his father being sentenced to death, to the crash of their family’s company. From his understanding of Daniel’s character, he knew that he would use any means even sinister ones to achieve his goal. But Silas wasn’t worried as Daniel was definitely in for a lot of surprises.

Silas was also looking forward to meeting the Phenomenals again. Their last encounter ended on the wrong foot and he didn’t leave much of an impression, but he would make sure to do that this time.

Even though he wasn’t we strong as he was back then, it doesn’t mean that he was

He doesn’t actually plan to fight all of them. If it’s only Daniel that comes at him, the only he would the only one to take the beating that has reserved and become the scapegoat.

He knew that it’s impossible for others to stand and watch him beat Daniel to the ground and if that’s the case, then it can’t be helped. They would have to share the beating with Daniel. It can’t be helped as he’s feeling very generous.

Silas was also aware of is that the Bureau is likely using this to test his full ability. They want to know just how strong he is and what his bottom line is.

Silas smiled mischievously when he thought of this. Since that’s what they want, then he would give it to them.

“I guess it’s time to start putting my plan on creating my own organization into action. Even though I have the military power of Venezuela at my disposal, I still need my own private force made of people who are elite of the elite and best of the best in every area.

Since the underground facility is big enough They will be using the almost completed underground facility as their base of operations and they will answer only to me. There’s also rumors of looming world war, I have to start making preparations for it.

They say that war is a business. I wonder who we those that are going to benefit from it?”

Silas stood up from his seat and walked to the window. He looked at the view of the city below him and smiled.

Everyone was busy going about their daily lives, completely oblivious of the danger looming at the corner. They are battling their hardships the best way each of them can but the world’s governments doesn’t give a fuck and wants to start a war.

Silas pitied the masses, he really did but that was all there was to it; pity. There’s no way he would go out of his way and help everyone. He’s not a saint and he has no plan on becoming one. The only thing he can do is to stop them from destroying the earth.

Silas knew that things between him, the big corporations, organizations, and world’s governments were going to escalate soon but he doesn’t know how soon. But he was looking forward to it. He patiently anticipates the show that they would put on for him.

“Guys, we have landed. You all know what to do, right? Our mission is to test Silas’ strength, know his capabilities, gather as much information we can on him and if possible, bring him back with us,” Elizabeth said with solemn voice as her gaze fell on everyone in the cabin.

She frowned and focused her gaze on Daniel who stood up and walked down the air stairs. She wanted to stop him as she wanted everyone to stay together but she decided not to. She wants to see just how he wants to go about his revenge.

Does he thinks that Silas would be so dumb to leave his family unguarded when he knew perfectly well that he has someone like Daniel as an enemy?

She scoffed when she thought of this. If possible it would be best for all of them if Daniel meets an accident during their mission.

David stood up from his seat and walked to Elizabeth. He didn’t bother himself with Daniel as he already knew that there was nothing he was going to say or do that will change his mind.

He looked at the Phenomenals seated and let out a sigh.

“I know that all of you are feeling the same thing. Fear. But you all don’t have to. Just like Empress said, we weren’t sent here to fight him. All we have to do is to gather intel on him and gauge his strength,” David said, as he did his best to uplift the spirit of the team.

“David, you and Elizabeth say it like that but the both of you know very damn well that we will still have to fight Silas. It’s fucking inevitable due to the bastard we have as a teammate.

Look, I think all this bravado and facade need to stop. We can just go back and tell the higher ups that the mission was a bust. We weren’t able to get to Silas before he sent us packing. There’s no way that they won’t believe us,” Pablo said as he put up the best smile he could muster.

Elizabeth sighed in exasperation when she heard Pablo’s words. She felt that he was intentionally trying cause trouble.

“Pablo, just like I said before, you’re free to go but you will have to face the consequences yourself. If you really think that the higher ups will believe the lie you just cooked up, then you should remember that you have something that would give you away.

I won’t say much and I don’t want to repeat myself. Everyone, move out.”
