Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 117: Aftermath(II)

The White House wasn't the only one condemning what happened in Venezuela.

The same day, a press conference was held at the Buckingham Palace. The content of the press conference was essentially the Prime Minister condemning the killing and disappearance of important people that happened in Venezuela.

The news that came from Venezuela caused a small ripple across the world and created a little topic of conversation for the world.

Mr Yusmairobis, as someone who has been in the game of politics for a very long time and someone who has gained the skill of perfectly controlling public opinion, didn't need to be told what had to be done ws he did what he knows to do best.

Immediately after the press conferences that condemned what happened in the country was held, Mr Yusmairobis held another press conference, being the third that he has held in a just over a week.

The content of the press conference addressed the situation surrounding the disappearance and killings that happened in the country.

Using his wealth of experience and knowledge of what will definitely trigger the common people, he gave a detailed explanation on what happened.

It has been over a week since the clean up process started and those who had been caught had gone through what can be called a hellish interrogation.

After Mr Yusmairobis held the second press conference and gave a somewhat valid reason for the death and disappearance that occured the previous night, Silas decided not to hide his actions any longer and the military got involved.

With the help of the military, they were able to thoroughly interrogate the spies and root out all of their associates in the country.

It wasn't only spies that were killed. Mr Yusmairobis uses the opportunity to take out a the corrupt politicians that had become a tumor in the country.

After the interrogations were made, a lot of information was gathered one everyone that was captured and their crimes were compiled into a list, that Mr Yusmairobis was now presenting at the press conference he's currently holding.

The press conference was broadcasted not just in the country, but Mr Yusmairobis asked the media houses in the country that has the capability to broadcast it all over the world, to do so.

The broadcast was a response to the two condemnation press conference that was held.

Not only that, but the press conference was act on Mr Yusmairobis' side to gain the approval of the masses and it worked just as he wanted.

What would be the response of a group of people who after a long time of suffering and misery, they see the people who theu feel are responsible for their suffering and misery, getting the punishment they deserve? There's no doubt that they would be happy and this was something that Mr Yusmairobis was very much aware of.

After the press conference ended, a lot of movement was seen around the country with a lot of people expressing their gratitude and happiness over the president's actions.

Yes, human lives were lost and the victims' family were mourning their lost, but their voices weren't heard as they were in the minority.

After the press conference ended and Mr Yusmairobis went back to his office, he already had a call waiting for him to answer.

With a knowing smile on his face, he walked towards the telephone line and picked the call.

"President Yusmairobis, I heard something interesting happened at your place. Mind giving me a gist on it?" A cold voice filled with concealed anger, came from the other end of the phone.

Mr Yusmairobis smiled when he heard this. He was already expecting them to contact him personally.

Silas' actions cut off the sources the group uses to monitor him, gather information on him and control him. So, it was to be expected that they would be pissed, but unlike before, Mr Yusmairobis wasn't scared by them.

"Ohhh... About that... I just did some house cleaning. You know.... Taking out some pest that been messing around the house," Mr Yusmairobis replied with a smile.

"Hahahahah!"

The person on the phone laughed when he heard Mr Yusmairobis response. The laughter stopped abruptly and was replaced with a cold voice.

"You took out some pests? Yusmairobis, it seems you have forgotten some very important... Your daughter? Don't you want to see her anymore?" The extremely cold voice asked.

Mr Yusmairobis gave a casual laugh when he hears this.

"My daughter? Of course I still want to see her but the real question is are you guys ready to give her back to me?

It's been five years, Jerome. Five fucking years since you took my daughter from me, in the pretense of having a cure to her situation and during those five bloody years, no damn improvement was made! No improvement and I wasn't allowed to see her! Why?!

All because she's a Phenomenal!" Mr Yusmairobis' voice at this point was loud enough to be heard outside the office, but due the the walls being soundproof, it just bounced around the office.

Jerome knew that Mr Yusmairobis was very angry from his raised voice but he couldn't help but care less.

What about his daughter? Was she the only one that has been captured and is being studied as they look for a way to also gain superpowers themselves.

He knew that their actions was greedy as it was for their own benefits but he felt that Mr Yusmairobis' anger to be very hypocritical as he was the person who handed his daughter over himself.

Yes, they didn't explain to him everything that was involved but the most important thing was that he gave his consent.

"Mr Yusmairobis, I would like to remind you of something. The actions of two organizations is for the benefits of its members, and you're one.

So, I really don't understand why you're angry. You brought your daughter to us, to be treated and your daughter has been put under treatment, and she will keep receiving treatment until she get better. I understand that you're anxious because it's been a very long time since you've seen her.

Okay, what about this? I will talk to the doctors handling her treatment and ask them if it's possible to schedule a visit. If it's not possible to do so, whenever she wakes up, I can help you with a video call so that you can talk to her. Better, right?" Jerome said, as he did his best to ease the situation.

He didn't want to have a fallout with Mr Yusmairobis yet as there's a high possibility that he can go crazy and expose them.

They say that a rat when completely backed up to the wall as with no other option will bite.

Jerome knew that there's a high probability that Mr Yusmairobis will lay things out to the public, and this can also be proven by his recent actions of "house cleaning".

Another reason why Jerome doesn't want to have a fallout with Mr Yusmairobis is because they experience somewhat of a progress recently I'm their experiment, thanks to Mr Yusmairobis' daughter.

Mr Yusmairobis heard what Jerome said and gave a cold smile. His emotions and thoughts were unknown as he looked at the ceiling briefly, and let out an inaudible sigh.

Immediately after he finishes the press conference and was about to walk into his office, he received a message from Silas, telling him not to break out ofthe group yet.

He would had loved to leave the group and have nothing else to do with them, but it seems that he would have to endure being in the hypocritical group for a while.

He thought of Silas' message and his daughter's situation, and closed his eyes briefly.

'Just for a little bit longer,' He thought to himself.

He wasn't going to leave the group but that doesn't mean he can't express what he feels.

"Jerome, tell this to the Dark Council, I want to see my daughter. If they don't grant this request of mine, then don't blame me for responding in kind," He said and hung up.

Mr Yusmairobis tiredly collapsed onto his chair. The week has been a very hectic one for him and he barely got enough rest. All he wanted to do at the moment was to get some shut-eye, but that's impossible as he still has a lot of things he has to get done.

"What pushed me to run for presidency in the first place?" He asked himself with a sigh, and took a document from the pile of documents on his table, and started reading through it.

****

In the penthouse that was Silas was staying at, He looked at the window with a smile on his face.

He heard the call between Mr Yusmairobis and the Jerome person, and he couldn't help but smile.

He found the organization to be very laughable. He was initially scared of having them as an enemy but after the call, he felt that he had overestimated them too much.
