Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Lucas, Layla
Lucas Anderson was just about to have a taste of the forbidden fruit when he got a call from the hospital, telling him that his son has been hospitalized with several broken bones.

He was shocked when he received the news, and his shock quickly turned to anger and irritation.

He was angry at the person who dared to touch his son, but the greater part of his anger was because there’s no way he will be able to go ahead with the deed he plans to do, as his tool has gone flaccid, and this after he finally managed to get it to work.

Seething with anger, Lucas climbed out of the bed and started putting on his clothes.

“What’s wrong?” Layla asked, when she saw Lucas putting on his clothes. The previous moment, he was to go inside her, but stopped after receiving a call.

“Daniel got hospitalized,” Lucas replied as he continued putting on his clothes.

“What?! How?! Did he get into an accident or what?” Layla couldn’t help but ask in surprise when she heard what he said.

“No, he didn’t get into an accident. The doctor said that some eyewitnesses saw him when someone sent him flying across the street by a push to the chest, and crashing into his own car.

“Wait, what do you mean he was sent flying by a push to the chest?,” Layla couldn’t help ask, as she found it very unbelievable.

She found it hard to believe because due to Lucas’ influence, as he can be literally called the owner of Oakland and everyone that matters and has authority answers to him.

Unfortunately for her, Lucas wasn’t in the mood to answer anymore of her questions.

“Stop fucking asking me questions and get that slutty body of yours dressed up. We are going to the hospital,” Lucas shouted at her.

Lucas found Layla to be very annoying lately. Honestly, he can say that he’s already tired of her but he stood intends to keep around for while before discarding her.

Layla saw this and clicked her tongue internally.

‘Tsk. Just you wait, it will take effect very soon and by then, I will make sure to squeeze you out for all you’re worth,” She thought with a small smile, as she also climbed out of bed and started putting on her clothes.

The two of them quickly put on their clothes, left the hotel room, and went to the reception to check out before making their way to the car, and made their way to the hospital.

When they got to the hospital, they were greeted by the hospital and taken to Daniel’s ward.

Inside the ward, they found a conscious Daniel, who had almost all of his body, except his head, in a cast, looking dejectedly at the ceiling and continuously muttering inaudible words to himself.

Lucas didn’t know the extent of the Daniel’s injury but he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Suspiciously, he looked at the doctor and asked, “And you said that all this is from a push?”

“Yes, according to some of the eyewitnesses’ reports,” The doctor replied.

Lucas found it extremely hard to believe that his son who now looks like a mummified corpse, found himself in this situation because someone pushed him?

How unbelievable is that? It’s just like saying someone got injured by a loaf of bread.

“Daniel?!”

Layla saw Daniel’s condition and rushed towards his bed, as she screamed in shock and a perfectly faked emotion of sadness.

She couldn’t be more happy when she found out Daniel’s actual situation but she openly show her happiness, and she had to mask it with one of sadness.

But there’s one expression that wasn’t faked, the shock she was feeling wasn’t faked.

‘Pfft. You mean he’s almost like a corpse now because he was pushed by someone?,’ She thought in disbelief at Daniel’s situation.

‘I definitely want that person to push me down on the bed,’ She thought as one of her hands, stealthily found its way to her nether region, but was blocked by her skirt.

Her fantasy was sadly broken by the name she constantly heard Daniel mutter to himself.

“Silas?!,” She asked in surprise.

“Daniel, what about Silas? Did he do this to you? Tell Layla, did that fuck face, ogre called Silas, do this to you?,” She asked.

Just like everyone who came to the get-together, Layla has also been trying to get in contact with Silas but she has been very unsuccessful.

Chloe, the bitch who has his contact, has refused to give it it out but Layla can’t fault her, as she knew that she will do same if she were in that position.

Layla is a girl with simple needs and wants.

Yes, simple needs and wants. All she want is a man with a look and manly aura that she can’t resist, money to take care of her material needs and, a big and good D to satisfy her everyday. She felt that if the D is good enough, then she can scrape the good looks.

Lucas heard Layla asking Daniel about Silas and he got curious.

“Daniel, who’s Silas? Is he the one that did this to you?,” He asked.

He didn’t care if this Silas of a person is the actually responsible for Daniel’s condition, he would pin the blame on him as someone has to take responsibility for giving him a severe case of blue ball.

Unfortunately for the Silas person though, Lucas confirmed with a nod from Daniel that he’s the one responsible.

With a smile, he put a call through to one of contacts for the cleanup mission.

…

Lucas felt his phone’s vibration in his pocket and brought it out to check the caller’s id.

“An unknown number? Who might this be? I don’t remember giving out my contact to anyone recently.” Lucas thought for a moment before picking up the call.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Mr Lucas. We finally got a chance to talk.”

“Who’s this?,” Lucas asked in surprise.

“What do you mean who’s this? You sent me some gifts and you’re asking for my identity? You’re hurting my feelings, Mr Lucas,” Silas said with a smile.

“You’re Silas?!,” Lucas asked in surprise. He didn’t expect the unknown caller to be the one he sent a cleanup to, and it seems like the mission was a burst.

…..

Silas smiled when heard Lucas’ surprised voice when he finally found out his identity, and it also confirmed his thoughts.

The reason he called Lucas instead of Daniel was because he felt it was very unlikely for Daniel to be the one who gave the order, and as for how LUNAR got his contact? That’s something that’s very easy for her.

“Mr Lucas, how do you intend to compensate for the damages your dogs caused?,” Silas asked with a smile.
