Getting A System In A Modern World

After he was done with his breakfast, Silas decided to take Alex to school. He didn't want him to be chauffeured this time, preferring instead to spend some one-on-one time with his younger brother.

Alex, who had grown immensely over the past two years, seemed thrilled by the gesture.

Silas and his family had now spent over two years in Venezuela. Their transition to the country had been smoother than Silas initially anticipated.

They had adjusted to the atmosphere, culture, and way of life remarkably well, building a home in the heart of what is now said to be one of the most advanced countries in the world. Thanks to Silas's efforts of course.

For Alex, the journey had been immense. After their initial move, Alex spent several months in the hospital undergoing treatment and making a full recovery from the school incident. And due to Silas' status, he received the best treatment he could get.

When Alex was finally discharged, he dedicated his time to training with Silas, preparing for the enhancement process that had changed the trajectory of their lives.

School life began anew for Alex once his enhancements were complete. Initially, it was a challenge.

The change wasn't just about adjusting to a new school. It was an entirely different environment, culture, and language. Spanish, being the primary language in Venezuela, posed a hurdle for Alex.

At first, he struggled, needing a tutor to teach him the basics while also navigating the complexities of a foreign educational system.

But thanks to his enhancement, Alex picked up the language faster than anyone could have anticipated.

Within months, he was not only fluent in Spanish but excelling in his studies. He had blended seamlessly into the school environment, making friends and proving himself to be a natural.

The drive to Alex's school wasn't long. It was one of the top institutions in Venezuela, located just a short distance from their estate. As expected, Silas had made sure Alex had access to the best education the country had to offer.

When they arrived at the entrance, a young lady who looked to be around Silas's age stepped forward to greet them.

"Good morning, Mr. Kurt," she said politely, her voice steady but her eyes betraying a hint of nervousness.

Silas nodded in response, a polite smile on his face. "Good morning. Please take good care of him."

"Of course," she replied, her tone warming. As she led Alex into the school, Silas couldn't help but notice the subtle glances she kept stealing back at him.

Her curiosity was noticable, but Silas paid it no mind. Attention like this had become so routine for him that it barely registered.

Alex waved goodbye enthusiastically before disappearing into the school building, leaving Silas with a rare sense of peace.

Watching his brother flourish in this new environment brought him more satisfaction than he care to admit.

As Silas drove away from the school, his mind drifted to the information Luna had shared with him the night before.

Chloe and her family were in Venezuela. This was something surprising but if he's to take a guess as to the reason why they are here, it would most likely and definitely related to him.

Silas inputted the address Luna had provided into the car's GPS and started the drive.

The location was on the outskirts of Caracas, nestled in a quieter, upscale district.

As the cityscape gave way to more residential surroundings, Silas found himself pulling up in front of an elegant hotel.

Its modern design contrasted sharply with the colonial-style architecture that characterized much of the area, marking it as a place catering to wealthy foreigners.

Silas stepped out of the car and paused for a moment, surveying the area. His sharp eyes took in every detail—the steady flow of guests entering and exiting, the well-dressed doorman stationed at the entrance, and the subtle presence of security personnel scattered around the property.

Entering the hotel lobby, Silas didn't bother asking for directions as Luna had already provided him with the room number.

He made his way to the elevator, ignoring the curious glances of the staff and guests as he passed.

His presence, as always, drew attention. His tall, confident, and impeccably dressed figure made him to stand out even in a place like this.

When the elevator doors opened on the designated floor, Silas stepped out and walked purposefully toward Chloe's room.

Walking through the hallway, Silas thought of different things he could say when he finally sees Chloe.

He came here uninvited and unannounced, and he was curios to know how she would react.

Silas didn't understand how he was feeling this way. He wouldn't care if it was another person but after his dinner date with Chloe, he has become self conscious, if not too self conscious, when he's around her.

Getting to the front of the door, he stopped, hesitating for the briefest of moments before knocking.

The sound echoed faintly in the quiet hallway, and he could hear muffled voices from inside. A few seconds later, the door opened, and there she was.

Chloe looked almost the same as he remembered, yet there was something different about her. It was something he couldn't place his fingers on—yet.

Chloe blinked in surprise when she saw him, her mouth opening slightly as if to speak, but no words came out.

"Silas," she finally managed, her voice a mix of disbelief and something else he couldn't quite place.

"Chloe," he replied, his tone even, though his heart was pounding in a way that surprised him. "Mind if I come in?"

She stepped aside, still looking at him like she couldn't quite believe he was there. As he entered the room, he quickly took in the surroundings.

It was a suite, spacious and tastefully decorated. Her dad was seated in the living area, their conversation halting abruptly when they noticed him.

"Silas," Mr. William said in surprise when he saw Silas walk into the suite.

He didn't expect that Silas would be the one to come to them—just as Chloe said. He couldn't help but glance at his daughter, who was standing beside Silas.

'They look like a perfect match.'

Silas noticed that the atmosphere in the suite was becoming awkward and he decided to break it.

"So... What brought you guys to Venezuela?"

"We came because of you."

A response that Silas expected and didn't expect at the same time.
