Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 242: Let There Be Chaos (VII)

"What do you mean you can't allow me to go the school?" Kim asked one of the security guards, Silas asked to watched over her, with a very angry expression on her face.

She just saw the ongoing shooting and hostage situation in Alex's school on the news. She was shocked when she saw it and her reaction was to immediately rush to the school but was stopped by one of the security guards secretly watching over her.

Due to the incident that happened during their family vacation, she already knew that there were some people that put were secretly protecting them and she wasn't surprised to see him.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's too dangerous. We can't allow anything to happen to you. If you're worried about the Young Sir, then you don't need to be.

I just spoke to the leader of the security guards watching over him and he said that the Young Sir is safe, and sound," The security guard said, doing his best to ease her worries.

The words clearly didn't work as she once again tried to push her way through but he blocked the way.

Kim became even angrier when she saw this. She glared at the security guard with deep malice burning in her eyes.

"Look here, I don't care if it's dangerous or not. I don't care if you just spoke to whoever you spoke to, all I just want is to go to my son's school.

There's a shooting and hostage situation going on there right now. Which means that my Alex is in danger.

Do you think I can rest easy knowing that? Do you think the words of someone cam ease the anxiety and anger I'm feeling right now? If you don't want things to get messy, I will advice you to get out of the way and let me leave. Right now!" Kim shouted at him, almost going as far as pushing him out of the way but he still didn't budge.

"I understand what you're going through right now, ma'am, but I can't allow you to go there. Your presence there will complicate things further. This is a direct order from Mr Silas," The security guard said, as he stood firm.

Kim broke down in tears when she heard that it was a direct order from. With that, she knew that she won't be able to leave no matter what she does.

"Alex! My baby!" She fell to her knees and started crying profusely.

Even though the security guard saw this, he still showed no reaction. He has already received a direct order from Ms Luna, to stop Silas' family if they make any attempt to go to the school, and he wasn't going to go against it.

.....

Something almost similar but completely different played out at home.

Chris was enraged when he saw the news. His rage went through the roof when he remembered the discussion he had with Silas and who the potential culprit of the ongoing incident at the school could be.

"That fucking Anderson's family. One trash after another," He said through gritted teeth.

He immediately wanted to rush to the school and save Alex but he paused when he remembered the kind of people he was going to be up against.

"They planned it perfectly. They began their operations just after Silas has left the country."

Chris knew that the only this was possible was if Daniel's group has been keeping tabs on them. This made him even more angry when he thought about it.

Chris felt extremely powerless as he couldn't do anything to alleviate the situation. He knew he can't go to the school to save Alex as it's extremely impossible.

He knew that he would only complicate things further and it would leave Silas in a very difficult situation.

He could only pace around the living room with his mind racing, thinking of any possible solution.

It's been more than 30 minutes since Daniel started his game with Alex and so far, a total of more than 25 people has died at his hands. Yet, even with that, Alex is yet to appear in front of him.

Daniel's eyes moved without interest as he looked at the new batch of demonstration subjects that were brought to him.

He had already gotten tired of the game ages ago. He really hopes that Alex would come out and save him the stress of having to kill those that he killed and the ones he's about to.

He had been broadcasting the sweet screams of his demonstration subjects throughout the whole school and it had achieved great results so far.

Just looking at those kneeling in front of him, he could see how scared they are. This was evident by their pale faces, dull eyes tears-filled, runny and with some of them even pissing themselves.

Daniel enjoyed the sight but just as he said before, the game had gotten boring for him.

He took one more look at those kneeling and decided to be a little bit nice. He knew that they don't want to die—none of them do—and they would do anything to keep their lives.

He smiled and licked his lips as he yhoug5if something.

"I really want to go ahead and start killing all of you but I'm sure you all won't want that, right?" He asked but all he got in response was an uncomfortable silence.

He smiled darkly and brought his face closer to theirs.

"I asked a question but all of you are fucking behaving like chicken that caught a cold. I asked, do you all want to die," He said with his teeth clenched in anger.

The group immediately responded when they saw the expression on Daniel's face. They regretted not answering the first time.

"No!" The echoed discordantly.

Daniel nodded and smiled in satisfaction when he heard their response. He wasn't bothered by their discordant voices as all of them have the same answer.

"Good. I will you all a chance to survive. Ten minutes. Every single one of have a ten minutes window to find this boy," He said as he showed them a picture.

"You find him and bring him to me. If any of you can do that, then everyone will be free. That's wonderful, right?" He asked with a dark smile on his face.

"Yes, sir!" They echoed discordantly again but Daniel only waved his hand, dismissing them.

He wasn't worried that they would try to escape as he already his men covering every single inch of the school premises. It was impossible for anyone to come in without his permission and even more for anyone to go out without it.

Yes, there have been some brave ones but their fate wasn't particularly good.

Daniel was seated on the table of the school's principal, waiting for news on Alex, when one of his men came to inform him that someone was looking for him.

Daniel waved his hand dismissively at the person that came to report, sending him back to his position.

He didn't need to ask for the identity of the person looking for him as he already knew who the person is.

'Why come now? You want to come and ruin the work I have done so far? You wish." He laughed softly and continued his wait for Alex.

Outside the school.

Elizabeth clenched her fist angrily when she heard what Daniel told one of his men to tell her.

"That bastard!" She clenched angrily.

David sighed when he saw the expression on Elizabeth. He knew that things were going to get extremely complicated very soon.

If they don't settle this before Silas gets back, then they would have to be ready to face the consequences.
