Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 222: The Meeting

Harrisson knew that Elizabeth was right. He knew the value of the technology and assets that Silas has in his hands and he's very sure that the kid is also aware of this.

If he was in the kid's position,. there's no way he was going to take the government serious. He would treat them like a circus.

He wouldn't worry about anything as he has more than enough options. If the government pressures him too much, all he would do is to go to another country, give them little bit of information on the VR Pod and he would become their most treasured asset.

Now that he thought of it, there was something about President Yusmaorobis working with a very strong Phenomenal and they suspect it to be Silas.

He knew that things weren't as easy as he thought it to be but he wasn't worried. Instead, he felt that things were starting to get very interesting.

Harrison was confident. This was the USA and they always get what they want. If Silas is to take the technology and leave the country, then they would have no choice but to label him a terrorist and impose very strict sanctions on the country that he ran to.

They would also talk to their allies and have them do the same. Unites Nations was already in their pocket, they also have NATO. So why should he be bother about a kid that got lucky with a VR technology?

He knew that the government won't have to step in as those old dogs are already making plans on how bring Silas and his company to his knees.

A bright smile painted his face when he thought of how the top industries in the country and in the world are going to deal with silas.

With how bad their personalities are and how greedy, and selfish they are, there's no way they are going to let someone as young and inexperienced as Silas to enjoy everything everything by himself.

They won't allow him to have everything to himself as they will come for it and there's no way that Silas would be able to fend them off.

If things escalates to that extent,. maybe, just maybe, he might also step in and meditate the situation. But that will depend on what Silas would offer in compensation.

Harrison replaced the smile on his face with a solemn one and turned to look at the Phenomenals that were seated around the conference table.

"You guys, if all of you are to meet Silas again and fight him, do you think you will win?" He asked in curiosity.

"Nah, I'd lose." One of them said and shook his head.

Harrison maintained the expression on his face as his gaze moved from each of them. All of them shook their head without an iota or confidence.

Harrison sighed when he saw this. He didn't believe that the country's Phenomenals are so weak compared to a kid. He was thinking of how weak the Phenomenals are when someone broke him out of his thoughts.

He looked at the person and saw that it's the new addition, the living evidence of the organization research breakthrough.

"Mr Daniel, you have something to say?" He asked as he gave him a glare.

"Yes, Mr Secretary. The last time I met Silas was before I awakened and joined the Bureau. I was defeated by him then, something that's natural but I know that I can beat him now. I'm not longer the ordinary human I used to be before. I am now a Marvel!"

The other Phenomenals in the conference room looked at Daniel for brief moment before turning their heads away.

"Yep, he's gonna die and he's trying to bring us down with him." One of them murmured.

"What kind of speech is that? I cringed like hell. The fuck?" Another person murmured in response.

"Let him be. He's gonna get the David treatment soon. No offense, Dave." Another person said and nodded at David in apology.

"Lmao. Bro thinks he's the main character because he awaken a fire based superpower. Jokes on you, even David that used his ultimate secret move still thrown across the room like a ragdoll." One of them laughed.

Daniel was about to flare up from hearing what they were saying. He felt that they are very dumb. Why do they have to place Silas on that high a pedestal?

To him, Silas was just a human like them. So why do they treat him like he's some kind of god?

Elizabeth decided to step in when she saw that things were about to take wrong turn.

"Daniel, they don't mean to belittle you, your confidence or your superpower. What they are trying to say is that Silas is just that strong. You won't understand because you didn't face off against him that day.

I know you said that the two of you had ab encounter and we all know the result of that. You landed in the hospital and had to spend months before you recovered.

Your superpower is strong, I acknowledge that but the question is if you know what Silas superpower is? We are speculating on it being enhancement of his physical strength but what about his ability to manipulate anything related to tech? Or maybe it's not his ability.

You see, Daniel. It would had been a different situation if you know even a little about Silas' ability but you don't. None of us but he knows everything about us and you included. This means that no matter how confident you are, you already lost before the fight even started." Elizabeth said.

She felt that she has break everything down to Daniel. This was so that he would understand the situation and won't make a dumb decision, and get himself killed.

Considering his relationship with Silas, she felt that Silas might just take care of him once and for all if he dares to show up again.

"Still, are you guys just gonna hide from him? The last seven months was spent on training and improving ourselves for this and you guys wants to chicken out? Weaklings!" Daniel said and angrily walked to the door.

He opened the door and took one more look at everyone.

"You guys can hide all you want. I will go and do what you can't." He said and left the conference room.

Garrison sighed when he saw this. He looked at Elizabeth who was rolling her eyes and his gaze moved to David who was seated quietly.

"You guys are going after him. I want an update on Silas' strength before the week runs out. Adrian, I don't care how you do it. Invite him for a demonstration or something but I want a report on how strong he is. Understand?" He said and Adrian nodded.

"Got it, Mr Secretary."
