Chapter 93 Taking LUNAR To The Airport, Picking Up Alex From School
"LUNAR, get ready to leave for Venezuela," Silas said, and LUNAR nodded.
"Before you go, we need to get you some clothes, and I also need a car. Also, it's almost time to pick Alex up from school," Silas said, as he checked the time on his phone and booked an Uber ride.
Silas didn't want to buy a new car, but it couldn't be helped, as where the cars were parked was at least a 6-7 hour drive from Oakland—a distance he didn't want to travel.
While they waited for their Uber ride to arrive, the two repairmen fixing the broken door and windows were finally done with their work. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
With a satisfied smile, Silas paid them with the money that Lucas had sent.
Lucas' action of sending hired goons to his home made Silas realize that he had to put in place some security measures, or the same incident would definitely repeat itself, or something even worse might happen to a member of his family.
What if it had been professional assassins or other Phenomenals that were sent after him?
What if someone targeted Alex at his school, abducted him, and used his life to threaten him? Or what if something happened to Kim? Would he be able to bear the guilt when he knew very well that he was the cause of it?
That was a question that didn't need to be asked, as Silas would fall into the deepest part of the abyss, laden with the burden of intense guilt and rage.
But the problem now was what to do?
Silas thought about it deeply for a moment and felt that the only currently plausible solution was to buy a new house in a new location for Kim and Alex. The house wouldn't be in Oakland but in another city or state entirely.
'I will have to start working on that soon. The earlier, the better for me,' Silas thought to himself.
A few minutes later, a horn was heard outside, indicating that the Uber had arrived.
Silas stood up when he heard the horn and left the house, followed by LUNAR.
"Emerald Bay Galleria," Silas said to the driver, giving him the address, as he and LUNAR got into the car.
"W-What did you say?" the shocked Uber driver asked.
After dropping LUNAR at the store, Silas left and made his way to the car dealership to get himself a new car.
The car dealership he was going to was the same one he got the Corvette from.
Silas was immediately recognized by the female salesperson when he walked into the store, and she approached him with a professional smile on her face.
Even though his appearance had changed and improved greatly, she was able to quickly recognize him, as she's a person who always commits the appearances of important customers to memory, and Silas' action of buying the Corvette placed him on that list.
Silas already knew the reason for her approaching him. He knew that she wanted to start taking him around the shop, showing and introducing the different cars they had in store, but Silas wasn't in the mood for it, nor did he have the time.
"A Camaro. Get the relevant papers and documents ready, and add it to the cost. Let me know when you're done," Silas said to the sales lady as he gave her his bank card, and went to take his seat.
The lady saw this and knew that she wouldn't be getting the opportunity to introduce their shop's latest addition.
Immediately, she walked towards the door that she entered the previous time and disappeared into the room behind it.
A few minutes later, she came out with some documents in her hands and walked towards where Silas was seated.
"Everything is ready, sir," she said and handed the documents to him, then went to the reception table to swipe his card for payment.
Silas received the documents and quickly flipped through them, reading and absorbing their contents. With his high intelligence stat, reading and understanding the documents' contents was very easy.
After he was done, he picked up the pen that was placed in the document and signed in the designated places.
After he was done signing, he stood up and returned the documents to the lady, and she gave him the car's key.
Silas received the key and walked towards his ride, which was quietly waiting for him at the side of the shop.
Silas got in, started the engine immediately, and drove off to the mall to pick LUNAR up.
He would have admired the car if it was the previous him, but the current Silas had seen and driven high-end luxury cars that now felt like toys to him. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want to hear the lady's introduction.
Yes, that's how it feels to be rich! No, that's how it feels to be wealthy!
