Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 195: Moves From The Agency

A few day's ago, in an office at the organization headquarter.

"Are you sure about what you're saying Mr Daniel?" Adrian asked carefully, in confirmation to what Daniel said.

"Yes, President Adrian. What happened was just as I explained to you. I wanted to get bully him a little but instead of running, when he saw me coming towards him, he got out of the car and stood in front of him.

I myself was shocked. I had no idea where he got the courage and bravery that made him to stand in front of me but I also wasn't going to back down. I was going to bully him, whatever courage or bravery he has be damned.

I walked to him and we started exchanging words. Things escalated and I shoved him on the chest, the next thing I knew, he said something to me and I saw myself flying across the street and crashing into my own car. That was how I found myself on an hospital bed with multiple broken bones.

President Adrian, that push and followed by flying across the air is very similar to what I heard from others. I'm very sure that the Silas I'm talking about is the same with the one that we are tasked to catch. Even if he's not the one, there's no harm to it as it's part of investigation anyway."

After Daniel told Mr Adrian that he might have information on Silas, the two of them moved to Adrian's office to continue their conversation.

Daniel explained to President Adrian everything that happened and the reason why he thinks the Silas he's familiar with is the same Silas the organization is looking for.

Adrian smiled as he studies Daniel carefully. Daniel's action of telling him everything that happened left him slightly surprised.

He didn't know if he should applaud Daniel for mustering uo courage and telling him that he was formerly a bully or he should laugh at him in ridicule for getting beaten up by his target. But that aside, Adrian knew that the last statement that Daniel made was true.

Everyone that fought Silas that day at the Abyss had the same experience, to get thrown across the room or be sent flying across the air after he pushed them.

'Is he really that strong or he's just messing with their minds?'

Adrian found it hard to believe that a someone as young as Silas—according to everyone's description on how young he looks—can send a man and a full grown man at that, flying across the air with just a push.

To him, that's completely impossible. Where could the strength to achieve such feat possibly come from?

From his knowledge, most Phenomenals are almost on the same level of strength and this is related to both their superpower and their physical strength. There's not chasm-like difference as to describe Silas' strength but Adrian knew that he has to believe it.

"Mr Daniel, I want you to assemble a team with others, get Empress and Thor in it, and track down this Silas of yours. If they are really one and the same, then there's a lot laying in wait as reward for you," Adrian said and dismissed Daniel from his office.

After Daniel left his office, Adrian tapped the table rhythmically for a few seconds before smiling.

"I can smell the change in the air. I'm just curious how things will go moving forward."

...

After he left Adrian's office, Daniel passed down his order to the most important people, just Empress and Thor.

Empress was initially confused when she received the order. She couldn't believe that the newbie who just joined them might possibly be related to the person they are looking for.

She isn't one to discriminate against people but she didn't just have a good feeling about Daniel and that's why she's never friendly to him.

Though since she has received the order, she rallied everyone around and gathered team that swiftly went to the location that Daniel gave them.

Right now, they are standing in front of the second house they are visiting for today and hopefully, they would get concrete information on the Silas.

Daniel walked up to the door and knocked. Few seconds later, a cold female voice was heard from behind the door.

"Daniel, what the fuck are you doing here?!" The voice asked before the door was opened forcefully, revealing a beautiful lady who looks to be the same age as Daniel.,. dressed in casuals.

"Chloe, I'm sorry for bothering you but I would like to ask something from you," Daniel said with a forced smile.

He doesn't understand why but he has never been able to get to Chloe no matter how much he tried.

"What is it that the almighty Daniel wants to ask this peasant and why didn't you call me when you wanted to ask something instead of coming all the way here? Or you plan on doing more than asking questions?" Chloe asked in sarcastic voice.

Daniel has never felt so embarrassed in his life. He knew that Chloe is someone who doesn't care about anyone and would say whatever is on her mind whenever she wants to but he expected her to have some tact.

"Chloe, can you not be a drama queen right now?" Daniel asked with an even more forced smile.

"Daniel, I'm not being a drama queen. I'm just being cautious. Everyone who is familiar with your character is like that. Hope you weren't really expecting me to be all friendly to you and answer your question right away?"

Daniel didn't know how to respond at this point. He was trying to salvage the situation but what Chloe said just ruined everything.

He was still trying to get over the embarrassment caused by Chloe's word when he felt a light push and a figure stood in front of him.

"You're Chloe, right?" Empress smiled as she looked at the beautiful lady in front of her.

She didn't know that the person that Daniel wanted to go and see next was such a beautiful lady.

"And you might be?" Chloe asked as she turned her attention to the lady that pushed Daniel aside.

She was very surprised when she saw Daniel standing at the door with a group of peculiar looking individuals. She wanted to ignore them but as someone who's very aware of Daniel's character, she quickly decided against it.

As she looked at the group in front of her, she noticed that they gave off different... should she call it aura? They gave off different aura and only three people among them gave off the strongest, with the lady in front of her being among them, followed by a man who stood quietly at a corner and the last is Daniel.

She became even more cautious when she noticed this, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"I'm sorry, Miss Chloe but we didn't mean to scare you or anything. We know it's rude for all of us to gather in front of your house but there's something we want to ask and we do hope you can give us an answer." Empress, Elizabeth Frederick said, putting on the best smile she could muster.
