BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 Genuine Happiness, Unwanted Attention
After Chris left the house, Silas went up to his room, not feeling bothered by the small interlude with his father.
One would have expected to do more or even go to the extreme, considering the fact that his father did things that were extreme to him, but a lot of things has happened lately that has changed Silas' perspective on most things in life.
After his first trip to Venezuela and the island incident, Silas mentality changed completely.
At that time, when he was just a breath away from death, Silas had a brief moment of mental clarity. He thought of his life so far and how much he has achieved, with and without the help of the system.
The answer to that was Nothing!
Apart from changing his financial situation, which was all the system's doing, Silas felt that has no achievement to himself. All he had was intense anger and hatred towards his father, Daniel, the opposite sex, everyone and himself.
"Where did that much anger and hatred come from?," Silas couldn't help but ask himself after waking up.
Of course, he knew the reason for those intense feelings, but would he allow it to continue controlling him?
Though, those feelings didn't actually come to the surface due to him suppressing them with the max level [Emotional Intelligence] skill, those feelings was still buried deeply inside him.
Silas knew that burying those emotions would backfire at him in the near future, and that's why he decided to tackle it by the roots, the person who is the initial cause for those feelings, his father.
This was the reason why he vented to his father, without restraint. Unlike before when he would have done his best to avoid the man at all cost, he decided to face those feelings and confront it, before they devour him and make him who he doesn't want to be.
Making the decision was easy but acting on it was very difficult, but Silas was able to do it. As for the remaining anger and hatred in his heart, it dissipated like a fog hit by sunlight.
The stuffy feelings that has been in his heart, choking him and almost making him tomlose his mind, finally got taken care of and he can now breath in fresh air.
With a clear heart and mind, and a soft smile on his face, he lay on his bed and slept off, soundly.
After Chris walked out of the house and Silas went to his room, with different complicated thoughts and emotions running through her heart and mind, Kim stood rooted to the spot.
She didn't know how to comprehend what had just happened.
"Why?! How?!," She muttered and collapsed on the nearby sofa.
Kim found it very hard to believe that Silas would say such hurtful words to his father, but she found even more absurd that Chris did such unspeakable things to Silas.
Kim knew that contrary to Silas' expressionless face and his flat voice, when he said those words, it was completely different to the chilling effects those words had.
Kim knew that Silas wasn't wrong for feeling very angry at his father, but she didn't want the family to fall apart.
"But Alex needs to grow in a complete family," Kim muttered to herself in a low voice.
"Why is this happening?" Kim felt extremely sad and heartbroken.
"I hope things get better soon," She said with a sigh.
Kim also noticed the last expression on Chris's face before he left the house, and she became worried.
"I hope he's okay."
She tried calling his phone but when she saw it ringing in front of her, she knew that he left it phone behind.
With no choice, she decided to stay in the living room and wait till he gets back home.
.....
The next day, a tired Kim woke up and picked up her phone to check the time.
"7:23 AM?! And he's not yet back?..." Kim became worried when she saw the time and noticed that Chris stood wasn't back.
"Ahh... I better start preparing Alex for school," Kim said and made her way to the Alex's room, to wake him up and start preparing him for school.
On the way, she saw Silas coming down to the living room.
"Good morning, Kim," Silas greeted her with a smile.
Kim was momentarily shocked by the smile and the happy expression on his face.
".... Morning, Silas. How was your night?"
"Perfect," Silas said with a smile and went down to the living room.
Kim saw this and smiled. This was actually the first time she saw and felt Silas being genuinely happy.
'I guess he was able to vent it all out yesterday...,' Kim thought and continued towards Alex's room.
Silas woke up, with a lighthearted feeling and feeling very refreshed. His mind was very clear and free of any thoughts.
He looked at the ceiling for a moment and let out a sigh of relief, before jumping out of his bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
After he was done freshening up, he left his room and went downstairs to the living room.
On his way to the living room, he met Kim who looks like she just woke up, on the stairs.
With a bright and happy smile, he greeted her and went down to the living room.
Silas' mood didn't last long as he got a very annoying message from LUNAR.
{Master, we have been experiencing a series of frequent hacking attempts into ELLA's system, but none has been successfully so far.}
The happy expression on Silas' face disappeared and was replaced with a frown.
'Those fucking hounds! Took them long enough.'
"LUNAR, have you identified the origin points of the hacking attempts and their identities."
{Yes. Twelve locations were identified, six in USA, four in China and two in South Korea. Their identities are those of different contracted professional hacking teams.}
'Bunch of smartasses. They didn't dare to do it themselves.' Silas sneered.
"LUNAR, use the connection point created by the hacking attempts to connect to the hackers' server, and plant a trojan in their system and use it to gather as much information on them as you can."
{Yes, master.}
"Also, hack into every hackable devices around their vicinity and plant Trojans into all of them. I want to get access to their call and I want you to read all their messages history, even if they are using burner phones."
{Yes, master.}
'I guess I'm finally going to experience some actions.'
