Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 247: Quagmire

"Hehehe." Daniel laughed darkly when he saw Silas finally make an appearance.

"Nice of you to make an appearance, Silas. And such big words. Give me the fix? Hahaha. Please don't make me laugh. You haven't even fixed yourself," Daniel paused and stared at Silas, with an immeasurable amount of hatred and rage in his heart.

He clenched his hands that were engulfed in flames into a fist and rushed at Silas. He wanted nothing more than tear Silas apart as he stood there.

He wants to tear off his flesh bit by bit, while roasting him with his flame little by little but making sure to leave him bordering a near-death status.

No matters what happens, today is the day that he settles everything with Silas. He must make sure to take him down as a lot of things are riding on it.

Before Daniel could reach Silas, he suddenly lost his balance and fell, face flat to the ground. The flames on his hands were dispersed as he lost control of it.

Due to how hard he fell, he immediately sustained a series of injuries and his nose started bleeding.

Before he could react and understand what was happening, he felt something hard smashed into his face, plastering his head into the ground and jolting his head back with a sharp, blinding pain that spread through his skull.

Kuergh!

A wave of disorientation crashed over him and his vision blurred and a loud, continuous ringing sound resounded in his head. The ground seemed to tilt, his stomach churned and his thoughts scattered like leaves in the wind.

The taste of iron flooded his mouth, and the world spun for a heartbeat before he steadied himself.

It took a few minutes before he started recovering. His blurred vision became focused, his thoughts settled, the ringing sound in his head stopped and the disoriented feeling stopped.

Tueeh!

Daniel spitted out a mouthful of blood and teeth. He cleaned the blood running down the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his head. Raising his head, his eyes met Silas who was now in a squatting position in front of him.

"All this fiasco with this much strength? You seem to think that your forceful awakening makes you omnipotent," Silas said slowly with his voice as cold as the North Pole.

"Hahahaha." A series of mad laughter burst out from Daniel's mouth when he heard Silas' words.

The laughter was laced with hate, anger and extreme malice. This was the emotions that Daniel was feeling right now.

He looked at Silas with those eyes burning intensely in his eyes and heart, and gave a wry but dark smile.

"I see... This is why everyone is scared of you. You're strong, that I will admit but just as you said to me, your strength also doesn't make you omnipotent," Daniel said with a cold voice that kept getting colder, and colder with each words he uttered.

"Do you really think I will kick off something as grand as this without making ample preparations? I'm not as dumb as yo, Silas.

Even though you have gotten strength and wealth your intelligence still remains the same; non-existence," Daniel spat bitter words.

"I know that you want to kill me. Every single cells in your body is screaming for my blood to be spilled... The feeling is mutual but jokes on you because you can't."

Just as Daniel said, Silas really wants to kill this pest in front of him. He wants to rip him apart, from the smallest atom in his body.

But he doesn't want to kill him just yet and he was interested to know the reason why Daniel said he can't kill him.

"Hahahaha... I love the look on your face. You think you're the only one that has access to alien tech? I'm sorry to break it to you but I do too. Why don't you check your dear little brother's body and see the present I left for you."

Silas' eyes narrowed in shock and rage when he heard what Daniel said. He knew that Daniel would had done something to his brother before he arrive but he didn't know that the bastard was this sick.

"You bastard!" Silas shouted and was about to attack Daniel but his next words froze his hand in the air.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, the bomb in your brother is connected to me and it will go off if anything happen to me."

Silas' face darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Daniel would go as far as this and he was also shocked to find out about such a technology.

"You beast!" Silas said through gritted teeth as he did his best to control the burning rage inside him.

He already received a confirmation from Luna, saying that Daniel said is true. He was barely holding back his rage at this point.

Daniel bursted out into a hearty laughter when he saw Silas' reaction. The joy of seeing Silas in a tight situation with no way out was immeasurable for him.

Daniel can't remember the last time he felt this good. It was like suddenly finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. A very blissful experience indeed.

"As a very nice person, I must also tell you to rush home and check on your dad. His situation might not be so good. You should also check around your office building, there's an explosive present waiting for you there." Daniel laughed even harder but his laughter held no warmth but extreme cold.

Daniel pushed himself up and sat down on the floor, with a cross-legged position and stared coldly at Silas in the eyes.

"Silas, I went so far and was very generous with my present. Shouldn't you be appreciative and say thank you?" Daniel asked with mad smile on his face.

He was really having the moment of his life right now and he just wants it to continue. He looked at Silas and saw that he wasn't responding, and he decided to deliver the final blow.

"This almost slipped my mind but you should hurry and make a decision on who to save. The bombs goes off in less than 5 minutes.

So, Silas, who is it gonna be? Your precious little brother? Your dad? Or his lover? Make your choice fast, the clock is ticking." Daniel laughed madly as he continued to stared daggers at Silas.

"Now, let me see you run, Silas."
