Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 240

[1000 PSs bonus chapter]

Lucius sat across from Sylas, not interrupting his eating. He didn’t say anything immediately, but neither did Sylas.

It wasn’t that Sylas was so anti-social, it was more so they both knew that it was a bit rude of Lucius to come and interrupt Sylas when he was trying to recover. But it was also clear that Lucius had done this more so out of appreciation for Sylas than anything else.

He simply sat there and sipped at what looked like water, and Sylas inhaled food as though he hadn’t eaten in weeks.

Soon, Sylas had finished off the last of his food and looked up. The gazes of the two men met, and there seemed to be a clash of sorts… but this was too crude of an explanation.

There was a fire in Sylas’ chest that had yet to wane, and because of that, it was hard for Sylas to restrain his usual thoughts. So at the moment, every thought seemed to be reflected into the air, his Charisma, not to mention his Voice of a King Gene Talent, painting a visual that took Lucius aback.

However, Lucius’ Will didn’t seem to be weak either. He met Sylas’ gaze and watched as the green flames in his eyes slowly extinguished.

Inwardly, Lucius couldn’t help but shake his head. He had meant every word he said back then. Free Wills like Sylas were too difficult to control. Rather than leaving such variables lying around, it was better to just directly kill them. He couldn’t see things the same way Astrid or Malachi did.

However, there was no denying how useful Sylas was to him.

Not only had he brought back the disk he thought had become a lost cause, but now he had brought back Archibald and information about an encampment of another powerful family.

In terms of impact, Sylas had proved himself more useful than his first pick. Though, it would take time for Nathan to display his usefulness.

The disk was a huge boon. Though it was damaged, it would help them to secure the region around Paradise and truly make it their own. This would make it far easier to advance and retreat.

When Portals grew too large, there would also be more area to cover and protect. It would also make it far easier for others to sneak into this region and learn the location of their city. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

But now, once the disk had been refined and fixed, they would have perfect control over this.

Of course, this wouldn’t last forever. The disk was just a temporary measure and it couldn’t stop the Aether Plane from fusing with Earth.

But it would still buy them several months of time, and a lot could be done.

Then there was Archibald. An upgradeable Profession was incredibly rare, but what was far more curious were Archibald’s origins. These sorts of secrets were enough to move those in the shadows of the Grimblade family, and if Lucius reported this matter, then he would gain a huge advantage over Malachi and Astrid even if he didn’t get to keep Archibald himself.

It could be said that after lagging behind, this one move by Sylas had helped him to pull ahead of his two cousins. Soon, that would be reflected in both resources and his Level.

That left Lucius in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Sylas was simply far too useful.
