Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 132: Underground Arena, The Empress

After the refree shouted, Silas saw the two men rush towards each other but he was unable to see the subsequent events that followed, as he was dragged through the door by Natasha.

Natasha closed the door and looked at Silas with an exasperated expression on her face.

"Hey, I told you not to look around. You're definitely asking to be killed. Those people outside and the men in that arena, they are people who can kill you ten times over and no one would be able to do anything about it. So, please don't get yourself killed and follow me," Natasha said to Silas with a stern voice, before she turned and started walking down the hallway.

After he was dragged through the door, Silas saw himself in another hallway but unlike the first hallway that has glass walls, this one was made of concrete walls. The hallway wasn't empty as it had multiple luxuriously-designed doors.

Standing in the hallway, Silas noticed how impeccable the soundproofing of the hallway is, and the also that of the hallway he walked through before.

Silas looked at Natasha who was now standing in front of a door at the end of the hallway, and he walked towards her.

When he got to where she stood, he heard her mumbling something to herself, and after that, she took a deep breath before opening the door.

After opening the door, she walked into the room and Silas followed behind. After the two of them were inside the room, Natasha closed the door and turned to look at a lady who was sitting quietly on a black sofa, at the end of the room.

"Natasha, you're back and you came with friends.. without my permission," The lady said with a cold voice, and a menacing look.

"I didn't mean to but I kind of got into a problem. I tried using my superpower on him but he was unaffected. I tried to escape from him after I failed but he was too strong and too fast

The only way I could get myself out of it was to bring him here.

I know it was stupid of me to try to use my power in the public in the first place but I was curious as what I would be able to do with it.

Since I can remembered that I got this power, I have tried to use it but you have always told me not to. I couldn't help it. Even if I can't be in the arena, at least I can help around. A-All, All I just wanted to do was to be useful," Natasha said, and during thw last sentence, her voice cracked due to the emotions she was feeling.

The lady sitting on the sofa shook her head at Natasha's words.

"You said all that but you didn't say how we're going to take care of the mess you created, and what are we going to do about your friend?," She asked, and sighed.

"You see, you're nothing but a crybaby. Why the hell are you getting emotional now? You created a mess and you're trying to wiggle your way out of it by earning my sympathy points? I'm sorry but you failed successfully.

You have a weak mind and this is the reason why I'm always against you using your superpower. I really don't understand why and how you got yours. To be honest, you don't deserve it," She said with an even colder voice.

Natasha at this point, had tears streaking down her cheeks.

With intense anger and hate in her eyes, she clenched her fist tightly, with her nails nearly digging into her skin.

She had a lot of things she wanted to say but she was unable to. She knew that the lady is right. She's weak minded and she doesn't deserve her power.

She closed her eyes briefly and let out a lengthy sigh, as she cleared the anger she was feeling out of her head.

While this was happening, Silas stood quietly at a side of the room.

He was aware of what was happening but his attention was somewhere else. His attention was on the fight going on between the two men in the arena.

Luna hacked into the underground arena live transmission system and connected the Gear to it, allowing Silas to watch the fight, just like those people sitting in the VIP rooms behind the doors he saw in the hallway.

Yes, the doors that Silas saw in the hallway are actually VIP rooms and the people inside are watching the fight going on in the arena, live as it's being displayed on the TV screen in the room.

Silas was initially disappointed when he saw how dull the fight between the two men, but he had a change of thought when he understood the reason for it.

It's not that the fight between the two of them were dull, but they are actually fighting at their full strength, but due to his high perception, the fight was extremely slow. Also, this made their attempts to use their powers and fight, looks like kids playing around with something they know nothing about.

Silas told Luna to record the fight and any other fights that comes up, as he wants to analyze everything later. After he was done giving Luna instructions, he turned his attention to what was happening in the room.

He didn't really pay much attention to the room when he walked in as he was preoccupied with the fight he was watching.

Silas noticed that the lady sitting on the sofa was looking at him strangely.

"You, what's your name?" She asked, with narrowed eyes.

"That isn't important though. What I'm actually curious about is how you guys were able to build an underground arena under a restaurant, and close to an Ivy League university." Silas said, as he walked towards the sofa and took his seat beside the lady.

"You have guts. You saw all that back there and you're still composed. I wonder if you're pretending to put up a tough front?" She asked with a cold smile, as she turned to look at Silas.

"If you talking about me being scared of those playing around in the arena, you're wrong. I have seen worse. Though they may look menacing from their demonstration, they are still human and therefore weak. I'm very sure a bullet to the heart or head can still send them to their maker," Silas said with a smile.

"Another thing I'm curious about is how this place is still up and running with no issues when there are so many of the country's wealthy and affluent individuals gathered here? Do you mind telling me?" Silas asked, as he laid back on the sofa and placed his legs on the table.

The lady was surprised when she heard what Silas said. She couldn't understand how he knew the identity of those behind the doors in the hallway. She felt that he might just be taking a guess.

To her, it would be better if the latter was true as things will be easier but if it's the former, then things are going to get complicated.

Silas' confidence peaked her interest and she got very curious about his identity.

"It seems like we started off on the wrong foot. I'm called the Empress and I would like to know your name," She said with a smile, as she stretched out her hand for an handshake.
