Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 137: Aftermath, Meeting The Second Person On The List

Silas meeting with Carl went smoothly. Too smoothly if he would say and he was satisfied with the arrangements they made.

During the meeting, he gave Carl an overview of what he plans to do and Carl was completely impressed. He made future arrangements with Carl to call him when he's done setting everything up.

As for Carl's personality, Silas found nothing wrong with it. Carl is a very enthusiastic person and very intelligent, something that Silas deduced during their meeting and this are things he approves of.

After the meeting ended and Carl had left, Silas left the restaurant. He decided it was time to meet the next person on the list.

He doesn't plan to wait until after he has met al if Professor Edward's students, as he doesn't know how many of them intends to accept his offer.

As he made his way towards the hotel's entrance, he told Luna to check him out of the hotel.

Since he doesn't have any of his car, he decided to order an Uber ride.

As he waited for his ride, he got a message from Luna.

{Master, in the last ten hours, your bame has been searched through multiple databases several times.}

Silas wasn't surprised when he heard this. It was a reaction he expected after the chaos he caused in the Abyss. It would be very surprising if nothing happened.

Although Silas was casual about everything, his actions the previous day in the Abyss had a massive impact on everyone that saw it.

*****

After Silas left the Abyss, it took everyone almost a full minute before they could breathe.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief and looked at each other simultaneously.

Silas' action gave them so much fear that they have never experienced in their life. A type of fear that paralyzed them and made them unable to move and breathing was labor.

It felt like they were standing in front of an apex predator who could tear them apart whenever he wants. The only difference being that this apex predator didn't put them in his eyes.

They just can't seems to understand how such a monster like him could exist. They couldn't wrap their head around it.

Seeing how Silas was able to send someone, a fully grown adult, flying with just a finger was enough shock. Even more shocking is the fact when he said that he hasn't used his superpower.

How is that even possible, was what they all thought. They had already attributed Silas' feat to his superpower, and to hear that they were so wrong, was too much for their mental health.

The most shocking thing of the day was when Silas threw a punch that created a strong gust of wind, a punch that sent someone flying in a straight, creating a line of fallen individuals in his way.

They saw that Silas' punch didn't make contact with the person that was sent flying the second time, but how did he achieve just effect? The question on how it was possible for a gust of wind to blow in the underground arena was still left unanswered.

The aforementioned was the most shocking but there was something that was even more frightening; it was when Silas sent the guy known as Thor flying across the underground arena with just a fling. Just a fucking fling?!

The most hilarious and frightening thing about the whole thing was that Thor was beaten in a mode he calls his overdue mode. A mode that has always proven effective against everyone, that even the Empress doesn't have the confidence to beat him if he's in it.

It was in that mode that Silas casually flung him like a piece of rag.

They question now is how did Thor's extremely lethal lightning not have any effect on Silas. How was he able to catch Thor's lightning-coated-hand hand and he even said such extremely maddening words to Thor that made him go that into his overdrive mode, and still suffered an extremely humiliating defeat.

When they saw what happened to Thor who was one of the strongest among them, they didn't dare even have the slightest thought of attacking Silas anymore.

They could only freeze in their positions and allow him to leave.

This now brings everyone back to the reason why they all started attacking Silas in the first place, and they all turned to look at Empress who was standing at the door equally shocked.

They all had questions, a lot of questions actually and the first being what the identity of the person they fought was.

They wanted to ask but they knew that except for those among who have the same status as her, others have no chance of getting close to her to ask such questions.

Yes, even among Phenomenals, status matters and a lot at that. Everything from strength, influence and wealth is taken into consideration in the unofficial ranking.

Those who wanted to ask but can't due to difference in status, could only keep their questions to themselves.

Who knew that the seemingly extremely easy competition of capturing a youth for the prize of $5 million would bring so much drama.

The person in the worst condition was Thor, as he lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog.

After Silas left, the Abyss closed for the day, as there was no helping it.

Immediately after she left the Abyss, Elizabeth went home to her father and explained everything that happened to him.

Same as everyone, her father was shocked and as a law-abiding citizen of the country, he immediately told the government about it.

The rest of the day saw them trying to get an information on anyone named Silas, and they came out with a lot of results.

The results they got from their search was useless as Elizabeth confirmed that the faces didn't match the one and saw.

It would had been better if there was an image of him but there was nothing as his existence eludes even the CCTV cameras.

Due to how special the case was, The BEM decided to create a file for Silas.

(Name: Silas

Alias: Unknown

Age: Unknown

Sex: Male

Superpower: Possibly Tech related

Special note: a very powerful individual that the country has to find and document him at all costs.)

*****

As he waited and as he made his way to the airport, Silas was given the briefing by Luna.

Silas smiled when he got the briefing from Luna. The reason he went all out is because he knew that Luna had already taken care of everything.

It would be very impossible for someone to get any information on him as it has already been taken care of by Luna. This is even more so for someone who's trying to get his information with just his first name.

The name Silas isn't a common name, but it's not a common name either.

Silas pushed the incident of the previous day to the back of his mind as he changed his focus to the reason for his trip.

The person he's going to see is someone who isn't popular in any way but his researchs are what interests Silas.

Research on Genetics and Life creation.

Life creation, something that is as crazy as it's impossible but Silas was interested in it, not Life creation exactly but something else, creating a living synthetic body.

He was surprised when he read about it. It's something everyone and even himself would say is impossible but what if the system is thrown into the mix? Everything changes.

Silas isn't actually sure about it yet but getting the brain behind such an intelligent person is priority.

When he got to the airport, Silas made his way to the terminal that took him to his private jet that was ready and waiting for him on the runway.

Silas got into the aircraft and the following moments, it took off into the air.

35 minutes later, Silas landed at ITH airport. After the aircraft taxied to a stop, he got out of the aircraft and made his way out of the airport.

Outside, Silas got into an Uber that has already waiting and it drove immediately after he got in, making its way to Cornell University.

Silas had already informed the person he's going to meet and a meeting had already been scheduled while he was on the plane.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant close to the university. This is the meeting spot that they decided on.

After the car stopped, Silas got out and walked into the establishment. Inside, he looked around a bit and he found who he was looking for.

With a smile on his face, he started walking towards a table that a middle-aged man occupied, with a cup in his front.

"Hi, you must be Jeremiah?" Silas asked as he looked his seat.

The man nodded when he heard this.

"And you must be Silas?" He asked.
