Getting A System In A Modern World

Immediately after the gunshots was heard and everyone was in panic, Alex secretly tapped on his smartwatch as he was instructed by his brother before he left.

Though there was no response, he knew that his brother was already aware of what's happening and would come to save him.

This was the reason why he didn't put up much of a fight when the armed men came to take him away. Even if he did, there was no way he would be able to fight them off.

.....

The armed men didn't bother to pay anymore attention to the security guards as they started walking away.

Before they came for this operation, they have already been fed information about their target. They knew everything they had to know about their information and the security guards protecting him.

This was one the reason why they are confident. Another reasons is that it's isn't only the three of them that were contracted for this.

The armed men started walking away without fearing that they would be shot. The reason for this is because of the distance between them and the security guards.

The distance between them is at least more than 100 meters. The security guards were at the beginning of the hallway while they were almost at the end of the hallway.

To them, there was no way that they would be able to shoot them from such a far distance and be accurate enough for the bullet not to hit their clients. Their logic was reasonable but this was only applicable to a regular person not the security guards.

Just like the other security guards, the security guards watching over Alex are also equipped with the AR & VR Gear.

Actually, Silas put them specially in charge of watching over Alex. And he made sure to teach them everything they need to know about the Gear, and how to use it.

The security guard pointing his gun at the armed holding Alex, narrowed his eyes to slit and focused all of his attention on his target.

The next moment, the view in front of him changed and a simulated trajectory of how the bullet would fly if shot, was displayed in front of him.

His lips curled into a smile when he saw it and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

The eyes of the gunman holding Alex widened in disbelief as he fell to the ground with a thud, with blood continuously spilling from his head.

He felt no pain and everything happens too fast for him to process. All he knew was that he heard a gunshot and his eyes turned white in pain as his soul left his body.

The comrade of the fallen gun man looked at the body on the floor in shock. Just a second ago, their leader was walking beside them and the next, he has turned into a cold corpse on the floor.

They found very hard to put what they were feeling at the moment into words. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to grab the kid and take him to their client, get their huge pay and live a happy life afterwards.

But why?... Why is their leader on the floor and blood spilling out of a hole in his head?! Why?!

Their faces darkened as multiple thoughts crashed around in their head. The grip on their guns tightened as they turned to face the security guards.

The two of them screamed and were about to pull the trigger but they were a tard but too slow.

Bang! Bang!!

Thud! Thud!!

The two of them were unable to completely display their bravado before they were sent to escort their teammate.

The security guards immediately rushed towards Alex who was already running towards them as the two men fell to the ground.

They quickly reach where he was and grabbed him securely. They took a good look around their surroundings and observed for any sign of danger.

They felt that it was very unlikely that the three armed men were alone. It was impossible but even if that is so, they still have to be cautious.

The fact that each of them were carrying SMGs, MAC-10 to be specific, shows that a lot of preparations went into this operation.

"Sir, let's get him out of here," one of the security guards said to the security guard holding Alex, as he looked around for any possible threat.

"Yes, scout ahead and make sure that the route is clear." The guard holding Alex nodded and shielded Alex with his body.

He didn't pay attention to the teachers and children that were trembling in their classrooms, and offices. To them, Alex was the top of their priorities and nothing else.

They don't even want imagine what their fate would be if something is to happen to him. They also didn't care about the three cold corpses on the floor.

Even though they were the ones that killed them, they felt nothing. Why should they? As someone who has been in this line of work for more than a decade, they have seen people dying in their presence a couple of times. And some of those times is by their hands.

They knew that the police would soon arrive and would begin their investigation that would probably lead to nowhere but that also wasn't their business.

They made their way through the school, while closely guarding Alex and making sure that no harm comes to him.

Just when they were about to get to the entrance, they saw a group of people standing at a distance and blocking the entrance.

One of them, a with a RPD resting on his shoulder, slowly walked forward. He looked at the security guards and at Alex, sighed.

"They failed..." One could sense the pain in his voice but he did a good of hiding it.

His face darkened the next moment as he glared at the security guards.

"We didn't want to kill anyone but you know what they say right? An eye for an eye!"

With a swift and fluid movement, he pointed the gun at the security guard holding Alex and pulled the trigger.

With a cold voice and eyes devoid of emotions, he uttered a single word.

"Die!"
