Chapter 246: Entrance
After securing Alex in his grasp, Daniel proceeded to move to the next part of his plan; abducting Silas' father.
His men were already on their way to Silas' house and would soon arrive. It's only a matter of time before he gets a phone call of the success of their mission.
He wasn't worried that they would fail as the people handling the mission are very special people.
Unlike what one might think, they aren't Phenomenals but Daniel has seen their strength and capabilities, and they are even stronger than the average Phenomenals.
With this knowledge, all he just needs to do is wait for a news from them.
Daniel smiled as he thought of Vegas, his father's old friend and the person who helped him to set everything up.
The smile faded the next moment when he remembered the price he had to pay to everything that he got.
The price wasn't much as it was just him owing Vegas three favors but he knew they knew the value of those favors.
Daniel has no idea what the favors he would ask him would be but he could already guess that it won't be something simple.
He also knew that it couldn't be helped. There was no way he would gotten Vegas' help without agreeing to his condition and he also got help from the Bureau.
Speaking about the Bureau, Daniel could guess what they are thinking by pushing him to fight Silas. He knew that they were using him but he cared very little as he has his own plans.
The game he was playing with them is a game of wit and strength, and it's a game that he's bound to win.
"Alex, when is your brother going to arrive. I'm starting to get really bored and you don't want to see me when I'm bored," Daniel said, glaring at the kid.
Alex chose not to respond as he sat in a corner of the office. He was feeling very frightened at the moment.
Even though he was putting up an act of bravery some minutes ago, he was still a kid after all. His emotions and state of mind were extremely fragile.
He felt an intense amount of fear and panic, guilt and self blame for those who has died, anger and hatred for Daniel, anxiety for Silas' arrival and helplessness.
Alex felt the weight of each passing second like a stone pressing down on his chest. The faces of his classmates, their laughter and voices from just this morning, now haunted him. Did they die because of him? Was this all his fault?
Tears threatened to fall from his eyes but he held them back. He didn't want to appear weak but he just wants everything to be over so that he can sleep. He hopes his brother arrives quickly.
"Aish... This is extremely boring. I should do something fun," Daniel said as pushed himself up from his seat.
Just when he was about to walk to the door, he heard a loud crashing sound as someone crashed through the roof of the hallway the administrative office was connected to, and landed on the floor.
Reacting instantly, he summoned a tongue of fire on his palm and pointed it towards Alex. Before he could take a look at the new arrival, he felt the wind knocked out of his lungs and was sent flying.
Kuergh!
His body slammed onto the wall of the office and a bolt of pain coursesd through his body, forcing a painful gasp escaped his mouth.
It was like he was hit by a fast moving car. Every single bones in his body felt out of place and his chest was where the epicenter of the pain was.
Before he could even catch his breath, he felt a very strong impact to his face. It was like someone used a concrete slab to hit his face.
It was at this point he lost all control and blindly slashed the air in front of him, throwing multiple flame arcs at his attacker.
Luna saw Daniel's action and quickly dodged his sloppy attack, and rushed to Alex. She picked him up and ran out of the office, and shot through the hole in the roof.
The flame arcs missed Luna, hitting the office walls, charing it before dispersing. Even after they dispersing, the heat could still be felt where it passes and the part of the wall that was burned had smokes coming out of it.
Daniel crashed to the ground and he quickly got up to his feet. He looked around but he couldn't find his attacker. He also noticed that Alex was gone.
Raaa!
He roared in rage and intense hatred when he saw this. His rage shot the roof and exploded when he saw his men standing outside, and looking at him like fools.
"Imbeciles! Someone just walked in here and took the kid away, and you wastes just standing there, looking like fools!" Daniel screamed as he flicked licks of flames at them
His men screamed in pain as the flames touched their bodies and they started burning.
"Please sir, help us!" They begged Daniel as they tried put out the flame but just as they were already aware, their actions were futile.
The flame continued to burn them but Daniel paid no attention to them as he walked out of the office and started walking to the entrance of the school.
He was feeling very angry at the moment and the only thought he had right now was to kill. He doesn't care who it was that dies by his hand, all he just want to do is to satisfy his bloodlust.
He snapped his fingers, summoning two fireballs and threw them at the entrance door, causing the wooden door to explain and splinter into pieces.
"Silas, you bastard. Just when did you get so powerful to have someone as strong as that to work for you? Why do you keep taking everything that should had belonged to me? Why are you such a thief? Why don't you come here and face me yourself?! Come here and face me you fucking coward!" Daniel screamed at the top of lungs.
His voice echoed throughout the school and the neighboring area. Everyone could sense the explosive rage in his voice.
They knew that his rage was very likely related to the lady that just broke into the school through the roof and flew out with a kid in her arm.
"What?! Aren't you going out and face me yourself?! Are you going to continue to hide behind a woman?! Yeah, I thought as much. You have always been like thi–"
Daniel's ranting was cut short by the appearance of Silas at the door.
"I really don't know who or what gave you the permission to display your madness here but I'm going to give you the fix you're so badly looking for."
