Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Visiting Venezuela Again
At the dining table, everyone was seated, quietly having breakfast.

While they were still eating, Silas decided to inform them of his trip.

“I will be flying to Venezuela today for business and I’m not sure when I will be returning,” Silas said and continued eating his food.

Kim heard this and only nodded in response. She wanted to ask what type of business he was going for but she felt that it wasn’t her place to do that, and Silas has been becoming more suspicious lately.

Hearing what Silas said, Alex became saddened at the thought of not being able to see his brother for an unknown period of time.

“Brother, must you really go?,” Alex asked, while lightly tugging on Silas’ shirt, showing his unwillingness.

“I’m sorry, Alex but I really have to go. I promise to make it up to you after I come back, okay?,” Silas said, caressing his hair lovingly, as he tried to soothe him.

Alex could only reluctantly accept his brother’s promise.

“Don’t forget your promise, brother. When you come back, you have to stay with me for a very long time,” Alex said with a smile.

“Of course, I will do anything you want,” Silas said with a smile and ruffled Alex’s hair.

After Silas was done eating, he left the house and made his way to the airport.

When he got to the airport, Silas walked towards the tarmac and directly boarded the plane.

Silas had already been informed by LUNAR that just like the Gulfstream G650, the Bombardier is also an automatically driven aircraft.

Silas took his seat and the aircraft’s engine roared to life, and it started its takeoff run.

Few seconds later, after the plane was already in the air, Silas walked towards his room to continue his gaming session.

…..

8 hours later, the aircraft landed at Caracas International Airport.

Silas, already informed by LUNAR, stood up from his seat and walked to the entry door which automatically opened, and he exited.

After he disembarked from the plane, Silas directly walked out of the airport and made his way to the entrance, where Mr José was waiting for him, with a Mercedes Benz Maybach.

‘Not a BMW series this time?’ Silas thought to himself when he saw the Maybach parked in front of him.

“Mr Silas, welcome back to Venezuela,” Mr José said with a smile and opened the backseat door for him.

“Thank you Mr José, please take me to the hotel.”

Mr José nodded and started the car’s engine, and made his way to Hotel Siete Estrellas.

This time around, the hotel that was booked was different from the previous one that was close to the port.

Instead, it’s one of the city’s most biggest and luxurious hotels.

…..

Almost an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel’s entrance and Mr José came down to open the door for Silas.

“Mr Silas, we have arrived.”

Silas, seeing Mr José’s unnecessary actions, could only smile. How could he not understand why he was going this far to please him.

Silas only nodded and stepped out of the car, and the massive structure in front of him caught his attention.

“Amazing,” He said in a low voice before walking into the hotel.

Silas walked into the hotel and made his way to the reception, to get his room key from the receptionist.

“Hello, I was the one that had the penthouse booked. Can I please have the key?”

Yes, LUNAR booked the hotel’s penthouse.

“Huh?,” The receptionist looked at the handsome stranger in front of her, in shock and surprise.

Silas seeing the shock and surprised expression on the receptionist’s face, could only repeat himself.

“Silas Kurt, Penthouse keys.”

“Ohh… Yes. Sorry. Right. Silas Kurt Penthouse keys,” The receptionist finally came out of her reverie.

A few minutes later, with a smile, she handed over the penthouse keys to Silas.

“Thank you,” Silas said and made his way to the penthouse’s exclusive elevator.

Looking at Silas’ disappearing back figure, the receptionist giggled and muttered.

“So handsome.”

…..

The elevator came to a stop and Silas stepped out of it, and walked into the penthouse.

Silas was pleased with what he saw.

The penthouse’s interior exudes elegance, sophistication, and opulence, incorporating high-end materials, state-of-the-art technology, and breathtaking design elements.

Silas did a quick tour of the penthouse and he was completely satisfied.

The penthouse’s living room, designed with an open-concept, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the cityscape.

The plush, custom-made sofas and armchairs upholstered in fine fabrics, with custom designed coffee tables and side tables made of polished exotic woods, complimented by the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, all enhancing the beauty and splendor of the living.

The penthouse’s dining, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom were designed to what Silas call the peak of class, with top quality furnishings and the latest home appliances.

“Nice.”

“LUNAR, inform Mr Andrés of my arrival.”

[Already did. He scheduled a video conference call for tomorrow.]

“Ok. Let me know when it’s time.”

[Sir, APOLLO is already done with the game’s creation and it has been sent to the Pod.]

“Nice,” Silas nodded in satisfaction. He remembered LUNAR telling him that the game will be done in a week.

“I can’t access the game now. Should I purchase another Pod?..,” Silas thought to himself.

At the moment, he wanted nothing more than to check the VR game that APOLLO created, but he currently can’t do that because the Pod is currently in the Villa, in Newport.

“No. Purchasing another Pod now will be unwise. I can do that when I get to the cabin house on the island.”

Silas has two reasons for his second visit to Venezuela, because of the message he got from Mr Andrés and because of his superpower.

Silas plans to absorb and possibly increase the rank of his superpower.

“I will go to the island tomorrow after the conference call meeting with Mr Andrés. Till then, let me game in peace,” Silas said, and lay down on the bed.
