Getting A System In A Modern World

His fists clenched, nails digging into his palms. Every instinct screamed at him to lash out, to rip the sneer off Daniel\'s face but he couldn\'t.

Not yet. Not with Alex\'s life, his father\'s life, hanging in the balance.

He would admit it\'s and say that he was extremely arrogant and made a erroneous miscalculation. His extremely over-confidence and dismissive attitude towards everything due to his strength is what got him into this position.

He\'s never hated himself this much before. It was all due to his stupidity that his family is in their current situation.

His previous thought was that he should had given Daniel a warning when he had the chance but now, he knew that he should had killed him. It was the only way he would had avoided a situation like this.

Silas knew that one of the major reasons this is happening is because the Bureau and the Organization was using Daniel to push him to show his cards.

They want to know what he\'s capable of, so that they can start making preparations on how to either deal with him or tame him.

A wild and dark grin that sent shivers down one spine, spread on Silas\' face when he thought of this.

If this is how things really are, then there\'s no need to hold back. He would give them the show they so much wish to see. He would make sure to put on a very beautiful performance for them.

He gave a light chuckle that carries so much darkness that Daniel who had a crazed expression on his face, was startled.

"You really did all this for me, Daniel?" Silas asked as he brought his face closer to Daniel\'s, and started whispering into his ear.

"I must say I\'m very grateful for your lovely explosive presents but let me remind you something, you ain\'t the only mentally ill person here. I will advise you sit still and watch the show I\'m about to put on for you."

Daniel\'s eyes narrowed for moment when he heard what Silas said but they straightened the next moment.

"I\'m glad you like my gifts. I\'m also very interested to watch the show you will put on. I hope you\'re not just all mouth. That would be a very let down. Well, you better run, because you know... Your time is ticking," He chuckled as he whispered back into Silas\' ear.

He raised a hand to Silas\' face and started making a countdown gesture.

"Tick tock. Tick tock. Kaboom! Hahahah."

Daniel laughed heartily but his laughter was caught short the next moment as he felt his something cold, and solid clamping on his legs

"Good. Then wait for me, I will be back shortly." Silas said as he stood up and started walking away.

He paused his steps for a moment and glanced back, coldly at Daniel before continuing his walk out of the school.

A mad grin spread on Daniel\'s face when he watched Silas leave. He was looking forward to just how Silas intends to save every single member of his family in less than five minutes.

"Entertain me."

...

Silas walked out of the school and made his way towards Luna who was standing at a distance, with Alex in her arms.

Immediately after he walked out, cameras went wild, flashing incessantly and reporters started flocking to him but just one look deathly look from him, they all backed away in fear.

The scene wa already filled with so much crowd that everyone was finding it very hard to even take a step due to the limited space.

The police officers that initially tried to stop Silas from going into the building, were trying their best to hide after they saw what he did to the armed men standing guard outside the school.

Elizabeth and her team saw Silas but they knew better than to approach him when they saw the dark look on his face, and his tightly clenched knuckles.

They could already guess that Daniel had done something even more and this made their hearts to fall into the lowest part of the abyss. They just can\'t imagine what Silas is going to do in retaliation but they can already imagine how everything would end.

Silas didn\'t pay any attention to anyone as he walked to Luna and Alex. When he got there, he saw Alex who was crying in Luna\'s arms and was being comforted by her, and another person he didn\'t expect to see; Chloe.

He paid very little attention to her as he took Alex from Luna\'s arm and patted his hair lovingly, and looked at him with an affectionate gaze

"Big brother!"

Alex broke down even more when he saw himself in Silas\' arms. The fragile control he had over his emotions when he was still being held by Daniel, was no more.

When he remembered what Daniel did to him in the administrative office, he hugged Silas\' neck and cried even more.

"Alex, it\'s okay. Stop crying. Big brother is here," Silas said softly into Alex\'s ear, trying to soothe his emotions while he continued to caress his hair affectionately.

His words seemed to have a bit of an effect, as Alex\'s tears reduced but he was still crying profusely.

"Big brother, he injected something into my body. Am I going to die? He... he killed my teacher. I heard her scream. He killed her!" Alex asked as he tried to control his overflowing tears.

"No, Alex. Big brother won\'t let anything happen to you," Silas said with the best smile he could muster.

His words worked as Alex\'s crying reduced to a sob but it returned with even more intensity the next second.

Silas felt very guilty at the moment. He knew that everything was his fault and there\'s nothing anyone can say otherwise. He knew that all this would had been avoided if he had done the necessary.

But this wasn\'t the time to drown himself with self-blame as he has lives hanging on the brink of death, and he has to save them.

He looked at Luna and she nodded at him.

{It\'s ready, master. We have less than three minutes.}

Silas smiled in relief when he heard this. He was very glad that the simulated research world came through for him, researching everything about the bomb and how to safely take it out of Alex without it going off.

"Alex, big sister here will take you to where they will take out what Daniel injected into you. Be good, okay?" Silas said and Alex nodded.

"Take care of him. I will take care of other things," Silas said as he passed Alex to Luna.

She would take him to the nearest hospital and have him operated on.

Immediately after she received Alex from Silas, Luna wrapped her arm around him and shot like a bullet into the sky, flying towards the nearest, best hospital.

After Luna left, Silas glanced at Chloe and nodded at her, before turning his attention to the next thing; saving his dad and Kim. And he has less than three minutes to do that.
