Getting A System In A Modern World

"How did it go?"

"Same thing, Mr. President. His expression didn't even change when I mentioned his daughter. It seems like there's still so much that we are yet to find out."

Immediately after he came out of Yusmaorobis' office and left the presidential palace, he put a call through to the President.

"Mmhmm... It seems like our old friend Yusmaorobis got himself something significant. How's the infiltration going?" an intrigued voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's been smooth. Too smooth, I would say. Considering that he did some house cleaning, I was expecting that he would tighten the security at the borders, but nothing of such was done. Also, I tried to gather some information before I met with him, and I found out that the country has been experiencing a lot of changes in the past two months, great changes.

Mr. President, I can't help but have a bad feeling about everything. It feels like we are playing right into someone's hand, and I don't like this feeling," Jonathan said, expressing his worries.

He didn't know how to explain it, but he felt that there's a big conspiracy behind everything that has been going on lately, and he felt that everything was being manipulated by someone, and this thought frightened him.

He didn't know how strong the boy that caused trouble at the Abyss was, nor how strong the lady that rescued Yusmaorobis' daughter from the facility was. But one thing he knew was that there was no way the United States would be able to have the two of them for themselves.

The only way he could see it happening is if the information doesn't leak out to other countries, and that, he knows, is very unlikely.

Actually, now that he thought about it, wouldn't it be better if the information leaked to the other countries? It would put some pressure on Yusmaorobis and force him to give up the location or identity of the two of them, except if he wants the whole world to be against him.

"You don't need to worry too much, John. We've already gotten what we needed from President Yusmaorobis' daughter. We don't need her anymore. If he's really not going to tell us anything about the lady that rescued his daughter, then we can only let him be. You can come back now. The next phase of the plan is about to start," the voice said and hung up the call.

Jonathan sighed when he heard this, but his mood was lifted when he remembered that he would be going back home immediately.

"I guess I will be able to spend some time with my family today. I have really been stressed way too much lately."

**BEM Headquarters**

Inside a conference room, a group of people were gathered, and they seemed to be having a serious conversation. This was evident from the serious expressions on their faces.

"We have been tasked by the President to capture these two individuals," Adrian said as he brought up a screen that displayed the blank images of two unknown individuals.

He looked at everyone in the room, and when he saw that he had their attention, he continued.

"One male and one female. The male is called Silas. Though we are not sure if it's his real name, that's the only one we have for now. The second is even more difficult, as there's no name, and all we know is that she's a lady of South Korean descent.

We have spoken to the South Korean government and asked them to provide any possible information they might have, but without any leads, it looks like we're searching for a ghost.

There's something everyone in this room should be aware of: these two individuals are very dangerous. If you encounter them, don't engage recklessly, as they are extremely strong. Maybe even stronger than all of us in this room combined, including me."

Adrian paused, allowing everyone in the room to process what he just said.

"Another thing is that they can't be tracked by CCTV cameras, and they have the ability to control anything related to tech. We don't actually know the extent of their abilities, and we don't know if all the information we have on them is correct, but we can only work with what we have.

I'm sure the majority of you here are familiar with the male. He will be our first target, as we have reasons to believe he's the one the lady who caused the incident at Ross Ice Shelf is working for. Again, these are all speculations." Adrian once again looked at everyone in the room, noticing that they all had peculiar expressions on their faces, and he understood.

"You don't need to worry. The President has promised that if we successfully complete the mission, there will be a lot of rewards for everyone," Adrian said, and he saw their expressions ease.

The meeting went on for a little while longer, and a few minutes later, everyone started leaving the office to prepare for the mission.

"President Adrian," a voice called out to Adrian, who was about to leave the conference room.

He turned back to see who called him and saw Daniel standing behind him.

"Yes, Mr. Daniel? Anything I can help you with?" Adrian asked, looking at him curiously.

He knew Daniel was the first person who successfully underwent the experiment and survived.

'A true specimen indeed.'

Adrian was very curious to see what Daniel would achieve in the future, especially given the results of his tests.

"President Adrian, I think I have information on this Silas," Daniel said, stunning Adrian and causing a smile to spread across his face.

"Oh really? Please, do tell me what you know, Mr. Daniel," Adrian said as he placed his hand on Daniel's shoulder.

*****

One week has passed, which means Silas and his family are back from their family vacation.

They spent seven days at the beach, but it felt like they only spent one day, due to how fast the time flew.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by, and they were back home.

Immediately after he got home, the first thing Silas received was a message from Luna.

{They are already making their moves. They have begun their search, and Daniel has given them tips that you might be the same Silas they are looking for. They are currently at your former house right now.}

Silas chuckled when he read this.

"I see. Daniel never seems to give up, does he? Luna, just keep me updated on their every move."

Silas knew this day would come, and he had been looking forward to it for a very long time. He was excited to see how he would meet the Empress again and the Thor guy, who had left somewhat of an impression on him.
