Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 243: Let There Be Chaos (VIII)

"Elizabeth, what do we do now if Daniel doesn't want to let us in?" Pablo asked with his fist clenched tightly in anger.

His thoughts right now was focused on beating Daniel into a pulp. He doesn't understand how someone would go such length for revenge.

Things wouldn't be this bad if he hadngine after the parents and in a quiet way. In fact, going after the parents wasn't ok in any way but still it was better then the scene he's causing right now.

He took a quick look around and he could see the police cars quickly approaching at a distance, blaring their sirens to announce their presence.

He saw some people who are definitely parents of the kids inside the school, kneeling down on the floor and wailing loudly.

He could see the expression of fear, anxiety and pain on their faces.

Pablo felt very angry at how something so wrong could be happening but he felt even angrier when he realized just how powerless he was to do anything.

He would had loved to made his way into the school, beat Daniel up and save the children. But how is he even going to get into the school if he can't get past the men Daniel placed there?

Also, even if he has the power to do it, he can't. Why? Because he knew that what's happening right now in the school and Daniel's action has been given indirect clearance by the Bureau.

Think about it, is it possible for an incident like this to have been going on for over half an hour and the police is just arriving? Yeah, thought as much.

Even if he does have the strength to stop Daniel, he can't as it would be him going against orders.

Defiance of order is something that the Bureau doesn't take lightly. It can even mean certain death if the person is found guilty.

It wasn't just him that had this thought as others had the same thought as him.

Elizabeth, as someone who understands the Bureau deep enough, could already guess what they are trying to achieve with this.

This goes beyond testing Silas and understanding what his limits are. Every single act of theirs were very intentional.

President Adrian had been casual about the mission but he was expecting results from Daniel.

She knew that the Bureau allowed Daniel to go this far and even assisted with closing the deal with Vegas, because they want to see just what Daniel would achieve.

They are intentionally pitting the two against each other to see who is stronger. They also want to know just how Silas would react to his younger brother's situation.

They want to see Silas full strength so that they can start taking countermeasures against it. They want to know if he's related to the laboratory incident at Ross Shelf.

Elizabeth wasn't against them doing all this, wanting to gather information and everything, but there was a problem;

The Bureau took the wrong approach by using Daniel and allowing his actions.

Another method could had been used and with Elizabeth knowledge of the capability of the Phenomenals they have in the Bureau, it wasn't impossible but it was going to be extremely hard.

She also felt that she had continued to meet up with Silas, they would get closer and she would be able to get something out of him.

Yes, this would take time and she might not even achieve it but it was better than holding his younger brother hostage.

Another thing is that she felt that the Bureau was giving Daniel too much credit and greatly downplaying Silas' strength.

She felt that this was due to the strength Daniel displayed during the series of physical tests and trainings he went through.

But as someone who has seen Silas' strength first hand, she knew how powerful he is and Daniel isn't going to be a problem for him.

The question now is what's will happen to them after Silas has taken care of Daniel? She knew very damn well that he's going to go on a rampage and a lot of people are going to get caught in an unexpected crossfire.

She smiled ruefully when she realized that it was going to be a fair fight. They will be annihilated and walked all over.

She sighed in exasperation when she thought of all this. Everything in her head was useless as there was no way for her to stop what's coming without getting herself into trouble.

She has to make a decision and choose between which of the two devils she will have to go against.

Does she stop Daniel and go against the Bureau but she will save Silas' brother and luckily, he "might" not go on a rampage?

Or does she just fold her arms and watch everything unfold, and accept whatever that follows?

She was still thinking of what decision to take when she sighted a familiar figure from the corner of her eyes.

"Is that Chloe?" She asked herself and started walking towards the figure.

When she got closer, Elizabeth was finally to confirm that it was really Chloe.

"Chloe, what are you doing here?" She asked curiously when she got close to her.

She was very curious to know why she was at somewhere as dangerous as this.

Chloe was nearly scared out of her wits when she heard someone call her name but she let out a deep breath of relief when she saw that it was Elizabeth.

She immediately became anxious when she realized something.

"Elizabeth, I'm glad you're here. We have to go inside right now and rescue Alex, and everyone inside before Daniel kills them off one by one," She said hurriedly scd started dragging Elizabeth towards the school gate.

"Chloe, wait," Elizabeth said, stopping her from sending the two of them to their death.

"Calm down a bit. What do you mean by before Daniel kills them off one by one?" She asked, wanting to understand what Chloe said.

Chloe looked at Elizabeth with different thoughts running through her head and different expressions swelling in her heart.

After a few moments of thinking, she decided to tell Elizabeth everything. She told her of the dreams she has been having and how they keep coming to reality.

At first, it started with her premonition but as time went on, she started dreaming about a lot of things and they came to past.

She thought it was just a coincidence but after it happened a few more times, she started researching about it but found nothing.

She even went as far as seeing a doctor but she was told that it might just be due to memory bias or subconscious processing.

But the dreams continued and two weeks ago, it went from her not only seeing things in her dreams but even while fully awake.

She thought she was going crazy and was thinking of checking herself into a mental hospital soon but when she got the vision about Alex, she knew that she has confirm it.

Elizabeth couldn't be more shocked when she heard what Chloe said.

"So you can see vision?" She asked slowly in confirmation and she saw Chloe nod.

"And you saw Daniel killing off everyone in the school?" She asked slowly and carefully.

"Not all of them but the figure should be more than 30."

"That bastsrd!"

Elizabeth's eyes widened in rage when she heard this. Her fist clenched tightly as she held herself back from exploding.

"Can we go in now?" Chloe asked and was about to start dragging her to the school gate again.

"Chloe.. stop. We can't go in there," Elizabeth said with her head lowered in shame and rage.

"Why?" Chloe asked angrily when she heard her response.

"....Thhere are a lot of things you're yet to understand about the world. Going in there means certain death for us."

Inside the school, Daniel finally got news of Alex whereabout.
