Chapter 247: Quagmire



"Hehehe." Daniel laughed darkly when he saw Silas finally make an appearance.

"Nice of you to make an appearance, Silas. And such big words. Give me the fix? Hahaha. Please don't make me laugh. You haven't even fixed yourself," Daniel paused and stared at Silas, with an immeasurable amount of hatred and rage in his heart.

He clenched his hands that were engulfed in flames into a fist and rushed at Silas. He wanted nothing more than tear Silas apart as he stood there.

He wants to tear off his flesh bit by bit, while roasting him with his flame little by little but making sure to leave him bordering a near-death status.

No matters what happens, today is the day that he settles everything with Silas. He must make sure to take him down as a lot of things are riding on it.

Before Daniel could reach Silas, he suddenly lost his balance and fell, face flat to the ground. The flames on his hands were dispersed as he lost control of it.

Due to how hard he fell, he immediately sustained a series of injuries and his nose started bleeding.

Before he could react and understand what was happening, he felt something hard smashed into his face, plastering his head into the ground and jolting his head back with a sharp, blinding pain that spread through his skull.

Kuergh!

A wave of disorientation crashed over him and his vision blurred and a loud, continuous ringing sound resounded in his head. The ground seemed to tilt, his stomach churned and his thoughts scattered like leaves in the wind.

The taste of iron flooded his mouth, and the world spun for a heartbeat before he steadied himself.

It took a few minutes before he started recovering. His blurred vision became focused, his thoughts settled, the ringing sound in his head stopped and the disoriented feeling stopped.

Tueeh!

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, the bomb in your brother is connected to me and it will go off if anything happen to me."

Silas' face darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Daniel would go as far as this and he was also shocked to find out about such a technology.

"You beast!" Silas said through gritted teeth as he did his best to control the burning rage inside him.

He already received a confirmation from Luna, saying that Daniel said is true. He was barely holding back his rage at this point.

Daniel bursted out into a hearty laughter when he saw Silas' reaction. The joy of seeing Silas in a tight situation with no way out was immeasurable for him.

Daniel can't remember the last time he felt this good. It was like suddenly finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. A very blissful experience indeed.

"As a very nice person, I must also tell you to rush home and check on your dad. His situation might not be so good. You should also check around your office building, there's an explosive present waiting for you there." Daniel laughed even harder but his laughter held no warmth but extreme cold.

Daniel pushed himself up and sat down on the floor, with a cross-legged position and stared coldly at Silas in the eyes.

"Silas, I went so far and was very generous with my present. Shouldn't you be appreciative and say thank you?" Daniel asked with mad smile on his face.

He was really having the moment of his life right now and he just wants it to continue. He looked at Silas and saw that he wasn't responding, and he decided to deliver the final blow.

"This almost slipped my mind but you should hurry and make a decision on who to save. The bombs goes off in less than 5 minutes.

So, Silas, who is it gonna be? Your precious little brother? Your dad? Or his lover? Make your choice fast, the clock is ticking." Daniel laughed madly as he continued to stared daggers at Silas.

"Now, let me see you run, Silas."
