Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: How Much Worse?

"That insufferable! Limp dicked! Peewee brained!..."

Sylas watched all this in silence, not interrupting at all. That would just turn the fury onto him. He liked his peace when he could get it. He had no intention of interfering at all.

"... His suit pants are wound up so tight you'd think he was wearing a thong! ..."

Sylas nodded, pulling out his water bottle treasure and taking a nice swig as he listened.

"... Not the slightest hint of a print! He's got a pussy down there and I bet his ass shaves it too!

...

Sylas reclined, pulling out a piece of meat as he continued to listen. His stomach was already rumbling despite the fact that he had eaten just half an hour ago at most.

It seemed like when he wasn't feeding his body properly, things were all fine. But the moment he started taking his nutrition more seriously, his body wanted more and more.

"... God, he's such a bitch! You know he wears colored contact lenses?! What the fuck kind of grown ass man does that?! It's months after the damned apocalypse and he still has them in stock! How many did he fucking buy?!..."

Sylas continued to nod. It took a full ten minutes for Cassarae to finish her dressing down of this professor. The funniest part about it was that she had probably only met this man once or twice before, yet she had enough material for all of this.

Eventually, she just stood there, huffing and puffing. Sylas was convinced these were the first breaths she had taken in the last several minutes.

Clearing his throat, he spoke. "Okay, so what actually happened this time?"

"Fuck you," she said with a huff of breath. "He wanted to start an absolutely idiotic plan. No, saying that isn't enough, it was practically genocidal.

"There was news that the underwater portal would appear-"

"What?"

Sylas sat up completely, the amusement in his eyes vanishing.

"What? What's wrong?" Cassarae asked. Her anger seemed to fade when she saw the seriousness in Sylas' expression as well.

"This is a problem. A big problem."

Sylas stood up. He paced around, his eyes darting back and forth.

From start to finish, Cassarae remained silent. Sylas usually only got like this when he was thinking through something very important. But the problem was that usually, he was smart enough that he didn't need to consider things for very long at all.

The fact that he was pacing so hard now and seemed to have forgotten everything else could only mean that her words had inadvertently revealed something extremely important... even more so considering his stats should technically make him smarter now than he had ever been.

"You're sure that the portal was known about ahead of time?"

"That's what mom said."

"Any more details than that?"
