Getting A System In A Modern World

Silas, of course knew that Elizabeth was threatening him but he wasn't worried. He was completely aware of his strengths and he already made an estimation on what a regular Phenomenal's strength is.

Due to their inability to absorb dark energy, every Phenomenals on Earth, with the exception of Silas, have their superpower unranked and the only way for them to increase it is to take the GES.

Silas' confidence stems from this information and the fact that he has more than enough strength to bring down the underground arena, and still walk out of here without a scratch.

Silas looked at Elizabeth who was looking at him with an icy look in her eyes, and he smiled. He seemed his previous judgement on her not wanting trouble was wrong. Maybe he will get his chance today.

"Am I confident? Maybe.. Maybe not," Silas replied with a smile, and stood up with the intention to leave.

"I will be taking my leave, Empress lady. I hope we meet again in the future," Silas said, as he walked towards the door.

Elizabeth nearly lost it when she saw Silas' response and action.

When has she ever been in a position that she can't control the situation? Never! Not as long as she can remember actually.

"Do you really think you can waltz in and out of here as you like? Do you really think getting out of here is that easy? Without the presence of other Phenomenals, do you really think you can pass the guards and the security system without an issue?" She asked with a slightly raised voice in anger.

"Actually, you can leave. I want to see the reason for your confidence," She said and scoffed coldly.

She relaxed back on the sofa and crossed her leg, as she smiled and gestured for Silas to leave.

"If by security system, you're talking about the CCTV cameras that I'm not appearing on, then you're a little bit slow on the uptake.

As for the fingerprint sensors, those are child's play to me. Also, you gather as much Phenomenals as you can. I want to flex my stiff muscles," Silas said with a smile, and opened the door.

He looked at Natasha who was standing at a corner of the room and waved at her.

"Goodbye Natasha, I hope to feel your melons again," He said and left the room.

The last sentence wasn't needed but it was just him teasing Natasha and making her embarrassed, and he succeeded as her face was completely red at this point but he wasn't there to see it.

"What a bastard!" She muttered to herself.

While Natasha was feeling embarrassed at Silas' words, Elizabeth was alarmed. She immediately picked up her phone to call one of the CCTV operators in the central control room.

"Hey, the CCTV camera in my room, check its footage for the last minute. Check how many people were in the room with me," She said, with her voice slightly anxious.

She held the phone to her ear as she waited for them to check what she asked and give her a response.

The next moment, she got a response and her eyes went wide in shock.

"What do you mean by there were only two of us here? Are you sure of what you're saying?" She asked again, wanting to confirm.

She felt like she was being told an expensive joke. Why do they mean by it was only two people in the room? Just her and Natasha?

Her thoughts were broken when she got a confirmation response from the CCTV operator.

She immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed towards the door.

She opened the door and rushed outside, and she saw Silas standing in front of the door that leads out of the hallway.

Seeing this, she let out a sigh of relief. She didn't understand how he was able to do it that the CCTV camera doesn't have him in the footage, but she was happy that he still hasn't left and was stuck at the door.

So many thoughts were running through her head at the moment. She was really curious to know how Silas did it.

'Is his superpower invisibility?' She thought to herself and shook her head.

'No, if that is so, then how were we able to see him while the CCTV cameras couldn't? Is it related to tech?' she thought to herself, with her thoughts being all over the place.

Due to the confidence that Silas has, she already labeled him a Phenomenal and she was curious about his superpower.

She was still deep in thought when she saw Silas waving at her before he walked out through the open door of the hallway.

Though the hallway door doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, it can only be opened from the control room by the operators, and the fact that the door opened for Silas is an even bigger cause for alarm.

She immediately rushed back into her room and slammed her hand on a red button by the wall.

Immediately after she hit the red button, a blaring emergency sound was heard through out the underground arena.

"VIPs, please stay in your room. Everyone who is a Phenomenal, I have something important to tell you.

A contest just came up with a prize money of $5 million and an unlimited access to the Abyss for a year. To win this contest, all you have to do is to capture a person who is dressed in white shirt and pant, with a glasses on his face." Elizabeth's voice resounded throughout the Abyss.

Everyone who heard her voice, the Phenomenals especially, looked up at the ceiling in surprise.

An impromptu contest? $5 million and unlimited access to the Abyss for a year? These are extremely mouth-watering prices and those who heard it weren't going to miss out on a chance to get free money.

Immediately they all scanned the arena and their eyes fell on a young man with the exact description that the person on the speaker said.

They didn't need to be told what to do as they immediately rushed towards him without warning, with greed in their eyes.

Elizabeth felt proud of herself after she has made the announcement. It was something she came up with on the spot and she decided to go with it.

$5 million and an unlimited access to the Abyss for a year is something she can afford comfortably, and she wasn't bothered using them as motivational material to have people work for her.

She decided to go out and watch the commotion. She wants to see if Silas is actually as strong as he's confident or he would be beaten into a pulp.

Silas sighed when he saw the crowd of people rushing at him.

"The young are truly reckless," Silas said, as he cracked his neck and his fingers.

"I hope you guys speedy recovery in advance," Silas said to himself, and continued walking towards them leisurely.

His first victims arrived and all Silas did was to push him on the chest lightly with a finger, adding a little bit more strength than he did for Daniel.

The result was that the person was sent flying, crashing into others that were rushing towards Silas.

Multiple groaning sounds were heard from the location that the person was sent flying to.

Some saw this and paused, while others continued rushing towards Silas.

Silas didn't bother to use more than a finger as he didn't want to send them to their maker yet.

All it took is a slight push from one of this fingers and each person would be sent flying.

After more than twenty of them were on the ground, with some of them groaning due to the pain they were feeling and some were knocked out cold.

"Come on guys, I have a price tag of $5 million and an unlimited access to the Abyss for a year. You can't let all that pass you by, right?" Silas asked.

He saw that they had already come to their senses and were no longer rushing at him, as they stood and looked at him with fear in their eyes.

He wants to use them as live practice targets but that would be impossible if they don't attack him. He decided to spice things up a little bit.

"Okay, I have decided to put the prize money in a pool format. $100 million prize pool money and for every seconds that I still walk free, $1000 will be deductes. Anyone who catches me will get whatever amount is left in the prize pool.

Also, I will stop using my physical strength and only use my superpower," Silas said with a smile.

He saw that shocked expression on their faces and he shook his head.

"If it's about the money, you don't need to worry about my credibility as the Empress herself can testify to it. Isn't that right, Empress?" Silas asked, as he looked at the door, where Elizabeth was standing.

Silas looked back at them with a smile as he stretched out his hand, and extended his control to the earth around him.

"Here I come though," He said and rushed towards them.
