Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 248

[900 GTs bonus]

Sylas shook his head and put the other two Beast Ward necklaces away. He was already used to being screwed over by these things, so it was fine even if he didn’t gain such a benefit.

Luckily, they had knocked down the house while still having them on, so the noise still hadn’t attracted many beasts over. But it was a matter of time before they started roaming in this area.

Sylas crouched down and looked them all in the eye.

"I know that you can move now, but I would advise that you don’t," he spoke casually to Christina and Sean. He didn’t bother with Lucius because he knew that he was the most injured of them. Even if Sylas paid him, Lucius would be unwilling to make a move right now.

As for Christina and Sean, they were a bit injured from his attack to get them out of range, but not to the point of not being able to do anything.

However, when two kunai appeared at their necks, they didn’t dare to move so casually anymore. They had no idea how Sylas had done it, but he destroyed that battering ram with a single touch. How could they know about the Curse of the Scorned Wraps? To them, Sylas was just a monster.

With Sylas’ words, the last thoughts they had of rebellion flew out of their minds.

"Now. Are you from Legacy or the government?"

They froze, but eventually, piece by piece, and even with some Madness coercion, they were forced to answer.

Soon, Sylas got a picture of what was happening here.

He hadn’t saved two of them out of the kindness of his heart. He only needed several to corroborate what was happening.

He was educated enough to know that torture wasn’t the best method of getting information out of people. Often, it could breed false confessions, or someone with just enough presence of mind could lie to you under duress and then you would be screwed to act properly.

Instead, Sylas found that the best way was to force them to tell the same story, separating them so that they couldn’t communicate. That way, they wouldn’t dare to lie because it would mean their lives. If their companions didn’t lie the same exact way, then wouldn’t they be exposing themselves?

This aside, it turned out that Sylas was correct. There was a clash planned here between the government and Legacy. However, things went awry because there seemed to also be a third party involved.

These three didn’t know who the third party was, but the government ended up evacuating this area over half a month ago, before this portal even appeared. In the end, this region became a stalemated one, while the real battlegrounds were in the shadows of York City.

There was a second one that appeared in the heart of Veridian, and that was immediately taken over by Legacy, leading to a stalemate in the region as both had control over valuable resources in the region. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
