At first Silas had no idea how to respond. What should he say? Before coming here, he already guessed that the reason why Chloe and her family were here was because of him, but actually hearing it from her mouth was a completely different situation.
Silas was aware that if it's because of him, then there's a high probability that there is trouble brewing.
Chloe and her family had too much of a connection to him. Chloe was his classmate back in highschool and she has been his only friend, ....and they might be on their way to becoming sothing more.
As for Mr William, Silas has had dealings with him before. He retained his law firm, Vanguard Legal Services. Even though he didn't use their services much, there was still a connection between them.
Silas knew that if there are people trying to get to him and with how near blank everything on him is, the only would be through his acquaintances.
He knew that if this was the case, then he has to do sothing about it. He can't have Chloe and her family facing so trouble because of their connection to him.
But before he do anything, he want to have a good talk with Chloe and her father.
"Please, explain everything," Silas said as he turned to look at Chloe.
He saw her take a deep breath as she looked at her father before turning to look back at him.
"Umm... Silas, I... think I'm one of you guys," Chloe said as she let out sigh, that felt like she has been holding it in for too long.
Silas blinked in confusion when she heard what she said. He was completely lost as what she just said was not was he was expecting.
"I don't understand, Chloe. What do you an by you think you're one of 'you guys'?" Silas asked, trying to clear out the confusion in his head.
"Ughh... I thought you would had changed but you're still as dumb as ever. What I ant to say is that I also have superpowers," Chloe said as she glared at him, but her eyes was filled with playfulness.
"Eh? You have superpower?..." Silas asked again in as he looked at Chloe intently.
He thought she might be joking but when he saw the dead serious expression on her face, he knew it wasn't so.
"When? When did this happen?" He asked in curiosity.
"The night of our dinner date," Chloe replied.
Silas didn't exactly hear what Chloe just heard as his brain was spunning, thinking of different things, but he did register what she said.
"If you don't mind asking, what your superpower?"
"I don't exactly have a na for it yet but s good na for it would be precognitive dreaming. My dreams always cos to past."
Silas was montarily shocked by what Chloe just said. Precognitive dreaming? That was completely unexpected.
"When did your superpower start manifesting?" Silas asked in even more curiosity.
"I don't know but the most prominent was after the night of our dinner date."
"I see..." Silas said with a nod. He could already guess where these was heading and he was starting to have a bad feeling about it.
"Then, if you guys are here, it ans that there's sothing going on, right?" Silas asked in confirmation.
"Yes. A few days after you left, done group of strange people started hanging around out neighbourhood. At first we thought they just moved in but there was sothing off about them.
Then, one day, one of them approached my sister and asked if she knew where you were and that's when we understood what was really going on. Since then, we have been constantly approached by them and it has escalated to the point that we are being harassed by them.
They crippled by dad's company, almost abducted my sister and they choked us in the house that we felt like we were being held in house arrest. If it wasn't for the news of your company hiring coming from Venezuela, they wouldn't had left and given us the opportunity to escape from the house and country."
As Chloe spoke, Silas could feel the pain and anger in her voice. He could feel the helplessness and frustration she was feeling.
Silas was feeling extrely angry at the mont. He has no idea that this is what Chloe and her family has been facing since he left the US.
Her words hung in the air, each one a dagger to Silas's heart. He could feel the pain, the fear, and the anger radiating from her. This wasn't just harassnt; it was a coordinated effort to break them.
"I'm sorry, Chloe," Silas said quietly, his voice heavy with guilt. "I didn't know."
Chloe shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "It's not your fault, Silas. But… I don't know what to do anymore. We're here because we had nowhere else to go. You're the only person we could trust."
Silas nodded, his mind already racing with plans. "I'll fix this," he said firmly. "I'll make sure they pay for what they've done to you."
Imdiately he asked Luna to gather up every possible information she could gather on the n that were responsible, and those that wanted to abduct Chloe's sister.
He didn't believe that it was sothing done by the governnt and he hopes he's right as it things would start to go south if he's not.
Unlike before, he doesn't have to think of not being strong enough to take the country on, as it's very easy for him with his current strength.
Even without making a physical appearance, he can do a lot of damage to the country and they would have no idea who the culprit is.
As Silas waited for Luna to pull up the data, he turned back to Chloe and her father. "You'll be safe here," he said, his voice steady and resolute. "No one will touch you while you're under my protection. Just let handle this."
After a few monts, he received the information he wanted from Luna and his face darkened.
Silas turned back to Chloe and gave her a reassuring smile. "This ends here, Chloe. I promise you, they'll never hurt you or your family again."
Though his words were ant to comfort her, Silas's mind was already calculating his next move. The people who dared to target Chloe and her family would learn the hard way that he wasn't soone to be trifled with.
