Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 190: Too Rich To Care

Daniel was slightly taken aback when he heard the name.

"You said the person's name is Silas?" he asked for confirmation, and David nodded.

"Did he tell you guys his full name?" Daniel asked again.

He wanted to piece together the puzzle in his head.

"No, he didn't tell us his full name. All he told us was his name. We don't even know if that is his real name, or if what we saw was actually him," David said as he shook his head.

Daniel was starting to have a feeling that there might be a possibility that the Silas David was talking about was the same Silas he was familiar with.

"By chance, did you guys get to see his superpower? Like, what type of superpower does he have?"

David was surprised that Daniel was interested in Silas, but he was happy to answer his questions. He knew that very soon, they would have to fight this person, and it would be good to pass whatever information they had on him around.

"To be honest, we don't even know what his superpower might be. We took a guess, and we think it relates to his physical strength," David said and paused.

Daniel felt a flame light up in his heart—a flame of rage—when he heard that Silas' superpower might be related to his physical strength. It perfectly matched that of the Silas he was familiar with.

The flame burning in his heart spread throughout his body and to his frozen hand, causing the ice on it to start melting slowly and expediting the thawing process.

David sighed and continued, "I'm very sure that our guess is wrong because he also has the ability to evade the surveillance of CCTV cameras, and there's nothing about him coming up when we searched the database of every organization and agency in the country. Honestly, I don't know what to call this person, but I hope we meet soon. I really want to meet him and have a fight with him again.

I want to defeat him, but that's after I've defeated The Empress."

David smiled in anticipation at the final part of the sentence as he thought about how he was going to defeat Silas and take the title of the strongest Phenomenal in the world.

"Hey, your hand looks good now," David said as he patted Daniel's hand, which had completely unfrozen.

He controlled the lightning around his hand and forced it back into his body.

"Thanks, man," Daniel said as he pushed himself up from the ground and stood up.

"Nah, you're welcome. Just don't take whatever Empress did to you personally, and try to get along with everyone. Your superpower is strong, but it still needs a lot of work, and you have to learn how to control it, or it might start controlling you," David said and patted Daniel on his shoulder.

"I will see you later, bud," David said and walked away.

"See you later, man," Daniel smiled, but the smile on his face faded the next second and was replaced with a frown.

'Is it really you? This would be easier if you're not the same Silas, but it would get very interesting if you are. I really hope you're one and the same because I would love to see the look on your face when I crush you completely.' Daniel smiled as he thought of his revenge plan, and it gave him shivers.

Back to the present.

Silas spent the whole day with his family. He made sure not to pay attention to anything else except his family.

Since he had already delegated all the work to Luna, he knew that he had nothing to worry about.

The day went by, and it was already the morning of the next day—the date for the family vacation.

Maybe due to the excitement of the vacation, everyone woke up very early, and this included Silas.

They didn't bother to have breakfast before they left for the airport.

While they drove to the airport, Luna and the security guards were following closely behind.

???#?!?*?&-ƒ-?@?+-$??%??&?-

After Silas told her to raise the level of security for his family to the highest level, Luna had made sure that the family didn't leave her sight or those of the security guards.

Unlike other boring drives that Silas always had, this one was a happy one, as the whole family chatted happily while his father drove to the airport.

Yes, it was Chris who drove the car to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Chris, Kim, and Alex waited while Silas went to arrange things.

"What could he possibly be doing that's taking so long? I thought he already booked the flight?" Chris said to himself when he saw that Silas was taking up time.

"I'm sure it's something important," Kim smiled, and Alex nodded.

Barely a minute after they had the short conversation, Silas' figure appeared at a distance.

"Come on, guys, everything's ready. We can leave now," Silas gestured, and they stood up and went to meet him.

Silas took them through the terminal and onto the jet bridge that was connected to an aircraft.

As they walked through the jet bridge, Chris looked around curiously. He was surprised that there was no one else taking the jet bridge.

'Maybe they have already boarded, and we are the only ones left,' he thought to himself.

His thoughts changed when he got to the end of the jet bridge and got inside the aircraft, where he saw that, except for the hostesses, it was empty.

He looked at Silas in surprise and looked around the aircraft in amazement. He had a thought when they were still on the jet bridge, but he felt that it was too absurd.

'It can't really be possible… can it?'

"Come on, Dad. Take your seat; the plane will be taking off soon," Silas said when he saw that his father was still standing, looking shocked.

Chris nodded and took his seat close to Silas.

A few seconds later, the pilot's voice was heard announcing their departure.

While the announcement was going on, Chris shifted closer to Silas.

"Son, why is the aircraft empty?" he finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

"I booked it, Dad," Silas replied casually.

Chris had never been so shocked in his life. He didn't know how much it had cost Silas to book such an aircraft as the one they were in, but he knew that it was a very ridiculous amount.

He looked at his son, and he started seeing him in a new light. He became even more curious as to how rich his son really was.

Silas didn't know his father's thoughts. If he did, he would be laughing out loud.

The truth of the matter is that Silas didn't book the aircraft. Why book an aircraft when you can buy the entire airline?

Yes, Silas bought the airline that owned the aircraft.

Silas could have taken his own jet, but he would have had to do a lot of explaining afterward, and if there's one thing that Silas hates, it's explaining himself to someone.

Silas didn't put much thought into his actions, especially buying the airline. Why should he when he had unlimited money?

He cleared his mind and lay back on the first-class aircraft, preparing to enjoy the ride.

"The comfort of the seat is not on par with those of my private jets, but it will suffice."
