Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 238: Let There Be Chaos (IV)

Daniel was outside, waiting for the people he sent in to come out with what he tasked them with. He heard the first and second round of gunshots, nodded in satisfaction.

Things were going as planned. The first and second round of gunshots was some sort of signal.

It was to alter everyone that the operation was already underway.

Daniel had already had calculated everything and was waiting for them to come out when he heard a gunshots.

From the sound, he knew that it was probably one of the security guards guarding Alex that just shoot a gun now.

He wasn't bothered as he has already taken everything into consideration and has made a foul proof plan.

To him, no matter how much preparations and arrangements Silas made, they would all be rendered useless.

With a face filled with ease and a bright, sinister smile, he continued to wait.

He was still waiting when he heard two consecutive gunshots and followed by silence. He knew that something must have gone wrong but he was still calm as he knew just how efforts he has put into this operation.

He wasn't worried as he knew that even if the security guards were to kill the three young men that went to drag Alex out of his class, they won't be a able to escape.

They would be blocked by a team of ten armed men at the school entrance. If they decided to be extra cautious and not take the step, they still won't be able to escape as there are still more of those men scattered in and around the school.

He thought everything was still going smoothly when he heard another gunshot and followed by a sound of heavy round of gunfire.

The gunshots felt a response—a retaliation to be precise—to the gunshot that was fired before it.

It was at this point that Daniel started to feel that something was wrong but he decided to still remain calm, and give them some time.

He doubt that security guards would be able to survive the heavy round of gunfire. Even if they are, they would be in a very pathetic and pitiful condition afterwards.

Daniel waited for the gunshots to stop or to see the package but even after waiting for a full minute, he still saw nothing.

He knew that things had gone south at this point. The smile on his face faded immediately, giving way to an extremely dark expression.

"Fine, I will do it myself," Daniel said as he made his way into the school.

As he opened the school gate and walked through, he snapped his fingers and two fireballs bloomed on his palms.

Seeing the fireballs, he smiled darkly and clenched his fist, causing them to exploded and engulfed his lower hands.

The flame didn't go out and kept burning as he walked into the school building.

Daniel didn't care if anyone saw him using his superpower. He didn't care about the bullshit "keep your powers hidden" nonsense that the Bureau and everyone always yaps about.

He found it to be hypocritical of them. They don't want the existence of Phenomenals to be known because they want to maintain the balance, but they are the one that put the world at its current tipping point. They are also the one pushing it beyond that tipping point.

Daniel opened the entrance door of the school and walked in. Immediately after walking inside, he saw corpses—the group's corpses—strewn around on the floor.

"Incompetent fools. What a waste," He said in contempt.

He stretched out his flame-coatef hands and flicked tongues of flames at the bodies on the floor. Immediately after the flames touched the bodies, they started burning.

Daniel didn't pay attention to the burning bodies on the floor as he started walking through the hallway. He never planned to let group live in the first place but the fact they got themselves killed before completing the mission he gave them, infuriated him.

As he walked through the hallway, he took a look at each classroom he passed, looking for any sign of Alex or the security guards.

"Those fuckers! I should had handled this myself from the beginning," Daniel said in angry voice as he got to the end of the hallway without seeing any signs of Alex.

He knew that it was impossible for them to have escaped and were hiding somewhere in the school. But looking for them would be stressful and would take up too much of his time.

A even more sinister smile spread on his face as he suddenly thought of something.

"I can do that. Let's see if they will be still be able to stay hidden," Daniel said as he started walking to the administrative office.

He continued to look for any signs of Alex and the security guards but they seems to have hidden themselves very well, as he was unable to find them.

Daniel was still calm and unbothered by this. He felt like the world was in palm and nothing would go wrong.

He also wasn't worried about what the consequences of his actions would be as he knew that the Bureau would take care of everything.

Daniel got to the door of the administrative office and opened. Inside, he saw a middle-aged lady frantically dialing her phone with fear, anxiety and frustration visible on her face.

As Daniel walked in, she jolted in fear on her seat and was about to confront the person that walked into her office unannounced. Nut when she saw his hands in flames and the dark, menacing smile on his face, she immediately sealed her mouth shut in fear.

She wanted to scream but she knew what her fate would be if she does.

Daniel nodded in satisfaction when he saw the lady's reactions.

"Good. I like smart people. Then I won't start by killing you first."

Daniel walked to the table and picked up the mic. His reason for coming here was the mic in his hand.

With the same dark and sinister smile on his face, he pressed a button on the table and started talking.

"I know you're here somewhere and you hear me. So, come on out before I start killing everyone. For every five seconds you stay hidden, one person will die and their death will be on you head. If you don't want it to happen, bring the boy to me." Daniel's voice echoed throughout the school.

His words shook everyone up, intensifying the fear and anxiety they were feeling, and heightening the already tensed atmosphere in the school.

Everyone looked at each cautiously. Except those in Alex's class, others had no idea who the owner of the voice is and who he was talking to but they all had the same thought—they don't want to die.

Everyone was scared and this was even so for the little children who were of the same age as Alex. They hoped and pray that someone would come and save.

After making the announcement, the smile on Daniel's face widened. He knew that he has already achieved the effect he wanted and had baited those that he wanted to bait.

'Now it's time to give them a way out.' His target was never the security guards but instead everyone else.

"To make everything easier for everyone. You all have a five minutes window. If anyone can bring Alex Kurt to me before the five minutes deadline elapses, everyone will be free and I will leave. But if I don't see him after five minutes, all I can say is that I tried."
