Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Lucas(II)
Silas, actually had almost forgotten about the issue between his father and Lucas Anderson.

If the current situation hadn’t occurred, he might have called Mr. Williams in a few days to drop the case, but unfortunately for Mr. Lucas, he just had to disturbed a hornet’s nest.

Of course, Silas knew that things won’t exactly go as smooth as he wants it to, but he wasn’t worried as he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

“You see, Mr. Lucas, they actually caused an extensive amount of damages with their action of breaking into the house; the entrance door is lying on the floor, a couple windows had their glasses shattered, and not to forget, emotional damages is also included.

If I’m to total the amount up, it would be around $3 million, and actually, that’s me being generous,” Silas said with smile, as he waited for Mr Lucas to blow his top.

Due to the influence he holds, Lucas has never faced such a situation since as long as he could remember. This is the reason he was amused and angry at Silas, for throwing what he calls a tantrum like a kid.

He felt angry because a no-name individual called Silas was asking him for compensation, and he felt equally amused at his confidence.

With a smile on his face, he replied, “You want compensation? Do you really dare to collect it if I give it to you?”

Silas couldn’t help but laugh when he hears this, but the laugh was cold and devoid of emotions.

“Mr Lucas, if you dare to pay the compensation, then I dare to collect it.”

Lucas felt even more amused when he heard this.

“Interesting. This is a first time that someone will interest me in a very long time. Since you have manage to do the impossible, then I will go ahead and play with you. let’s see how good you are and how long you will last. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, kid.”

Silas found the situation funny.

‘You will go ahead and play with me? I hope your fragile heart can take the excitement that’s to come,’ Silas thought with an sneer.

“Old man, stop trying to make yourself all mysterious and mighty, just send the damn money.”

Hearing this, Lucas gave a hearty laugh, which turned cold the next moment.

“Ok, forward your bank details,” He said with a voice colder than ice.

He completely made up his mind to crush this little rat that dares to stroll into a tiger’s cave. He will make sure to crush him under his paw until he’s nothing more than mincemeat.

Silas felt the coldness in Lucas’ laugh but he couldn’t help but care less. There’s no way he was going to take the old man serious, but that doesn’t mean he will underestimate him.

“The details has been sent. Make sure to send the money before the end of the day or else… I will leave the rest to your imagination, old man,” Silas said and hung up.

Lucas’ expression turned extremely cold after Silas ended the call.

“Just you wait, kid. I will make sure to let you know why one should always have sufficient power to back up their rambling,” Lucas said with a smirk.

He was about to keep his phone in his pocket when he received a message.

“He really sent it? He must have a lot of confidence. I hope it’s not him just trying to put up a strong front,” Lucas said and clicked on the text message, to read it.

“Wait… Why do I find his last name very familiar?,” Lucas couldn’t help but ask himself after reading the message.

“Kurt.. Kurt… Kurt?! Now, I remember. Kurt is the last name of that dog,” Lucas said with a face of realization.

“Now I understand. It seems like Silas is his son and the little cub is trying to seek revenge for his daddy. What an filial child,” Lucas said with a laugh.

Honestly, Lucas won’t have remembered Christopher Kurt if it wasn’t for Kim. She was a woman that left a deep impression on him due to her, constantly refusing his advances, time and time again.

While the conversation between Silas and Lucas was ongoing, Layla who was standing beside Daniel’s bed, overheard it and was shocked.

‘When did Silas change so much?,’ She thought to herself, as she found the situation a little odd and very unbelievable.

If there’s someone who can confidently say they actually knew and understood Silas, then it’s Layla but she was completely confused at the moment as Silas wasn’t acting like the Silas she knew.

…

After hanging up, Silas told LUNAR to send his bank details to Lucas.

He felt that it was high time he dealt with Lucas. He has been putting it on hold for too long and even wanted to let him off completely, but he changed his mind.

This time around, he’s not dealing with him solely because of what happened to Kim and his father, but because he raised a trash called, Daniel.

Silas was expecting Lucas to call him after getting his message, and he didn’t have to wait long as he got his call.

“I was wondering why a kid like you who’s a greenhorn is going all out to challenge me, but now I understand. Chris was your dad, right? Poor guy, he was actually nothing more than a collateral damage but it seems you will also be taking that title.”

“Old man, what I actually wanted to do was to just send you to jail and have you rot in there, but I changed my mind. I will make sure to destroy you first, take everything away from you and make sure you won’t be able to bounce back, before sending you to jail.”

“Big talk for an ant like you. I wonder how you’re going to achieve it? I will be generous and give you a heads up though, Oakland City belongs to me. You will get your compensation but know that I will be collecting it back and with interest,” Lucas said with a laugh, and hung up.

“You can laugh, huh? Let’s see how long that laughter of yours last,” Silas said with an evil smile.

“LUNAR, gather all the dirt you can on Mr Lucas’ acquaintances, I would like to have a little chat with them. Also, do an investigation on Lucas’ company, there’s no way a person like him will have a clean company.”

{Yes, master.}

‘Now, we will see how strong your influence is,’ Silas said internally, as he stood his seat in anticipation of the drama and chaos that’s to follow shortly.
