The video played for little over 3 minutes before it finally ended. After it ended, a long sigh and the atmosphere in the office tensed up immediately.

Adrian watched as the President\'s eyes fell on everyone in the office—Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security, Director of FBI, Director of CIA.

And even without him needing to speak, everyone knew that things were not good in anyway. The video they just watched show Silas running at a speed of more than 400 mph on the ground and shuttling through the sky at a speed of more than 800 mph.

This was beyond the speed of sound and everyone knew just how scary it is for someone to achieve such speed. The truth of the matter is that they didn\'t think that things escalated to this extent.

This was most especially for Adrian and the Secretary of Defense. They didn\'t believe that Daniel would go to such extent for his revenge. They had no idea that he was this crazy.

Their initial plan was to use Daniel to force Silas to show his strength so that they would be able to understand what and who they are dealing with. But from the looks of things, they knew that they messed up big time.

Adrian was the one feeling the tension in the room the most. He was the one who helped Daniel to set up a meeting with Vegas and he was also the one that helped him to secure the deal. But there was no way that he did something like this and no one was aware.

Heck, it was even the Secretary of Defense that pushed him to it. Adrian was also aware that the President was aware of the situation.

Even if he wasn\'t told directly, he would had heard it from his little birds and the fact that he didn\'t say anything to stop it before it happened, meant that he gave his approval indirectly.

But Adrian knew that this wasn\'t the time to pin blames on anyone. They have to do whatever they can to think of a solution to the current problem.

Everyone in the office without a doubt, was already aware that Silas would be coming for revenge and with the ability, and capabilities he has displayed so far, they don\'t really have the confidence of facing him.

Even if they did, it\'s not like they can do anything to him. As long as things are concerned, legally, Silas has done nothing wrong.

The Phenomenals are also no match for him as he would destroy them without even breaking a sweat.

The first they heard of him was after the incident at the Abyss. He wasn\'t at fault then as Elizabeth explained the situation and what exactly happened to them.

Then, when they heard that he was strong enough to bulldoze his way through the Phenomenals gathered there. Glthey thought Elizabeth was trying to exaggerate things and give them some work to do after a very long time of inactivity.

But who knew that he was actually the monster Elizabeth said he was. Also, it\'s not just Silas but the lady beside him shouldn\'t be left out.

She was the one that took a stroll around the secret lab facility in Antarctica, rescue President Yusmaorobis\' daughter and walked out like it was nothing.

The lab facility was a different situation compared to the kids playground called the Abyss. The facility is a place that has the state of the art defense systems and special security guards that were at a high price from somewhere. But all these was for naught as it did nothing as to even slow her down.

The expression on everyone\'s faces darkened when they thought of this. Their only thought was that they should had let a sleeping dog lie.

After a few minutes of tensed and uncomfortable silence, someone finally decided to say something.

"President, we should take action immediately. If we delay too much and he wakes up, we don\'t entirely know the limits of his power and resources but we can\'t allow him to use them no matter what," The Director of National Intelligence, an middle-aged man dressed in a blue suit, said.

"And how do you intend we do that, Alexander? We already sent a group to capture him before he woke up but that young lady arrived and stopped him.

You all were also here and saw how one of her finger morphed into the blaster. If we are going to make any move, we must first know and understand everything about Silas, and the lady beside him," The President said.

"Mr President, have you tried them?" The Director of CIA asked.

"Yes. About from what has already been given, they have nothing else on him. And the lady is blank to them," The President sighed.

The foreheads of everyone in the office creased when they heard this. Was it really impossible that an organization that has the information on every important person in the world, has nothing on Silas

They found this to be very unbelievable. That organization was something that no matter how discreet someone is and how hidden their information is, as long as you\'re willing to pay enough, you will be able to get what you want. And sometimes with a little delay.

They knew that things have already gone beyond whatever what they can handles but since they are the one that started it, they have to find a way to finish everything. And they must do it cleanly.

Also, they have to find someone who would taken the fall for everything that has happened. Someone the public would pour out all their anger and hatred on.

"Adrian, get your people back here immediately. Alexander, Jared, Kusama, I want you all to come up with something that can be used against Silas.

I don\'t care if his information isn\'t available or his record is clean, cook up something if you have to. I just want to see him unable to take actions freely after he wakes up. While you all do that, I will call for Council meeting with others," The President said and everyone nodded in response.
