Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Flirt (Bonus)

Sylas returned to the Amazonian Wilds on the same day. His target this time was different. He needed a method to bring Brant's family back, and that obviously entailed transportation and a plan of action.

The best plan was to take them out separately. He would deal with Brant's wife and child, along with Olivia, while Brant would leave via his own method.

First, he went to catch more Blue Cyclone Horses. This was more difficult this time because there were no leaders left after he conquered their head. So, they had become more scattered and had broken into several factions.

But it was an easy enough affair. It took Sylas about three hours after scouting the general area they frequented to catch three more.

He unfortunately had to spend more Coins to gather the coins he needed to store them easily, but this much was fine enough. If he could have had a device capable of storing people instead, it would have been even easier. At that point, he could just take them and leave on his own. But unfortunately, the storage devices only worked for Mounts for reasons he was uncertain of.

Sylas then bought a carriage that was meant to be used by merchants. But it would be good enough for his purposes. Then, before the day was even halfway through, he made the return journey to Love City.

He waited for Brant to be on duty again and then was escorted into the city without issue.

The two looked toward one another, and Sylas just handed Brant a spatial pouch that held his Mount.

"Leave whenever you get an opening. Leave the rest to me."

Brant hesitated. He wanted to be there to help, but he knew that he would only slow Sylas down.

Taking a breath, he nodded.

...

Sylas entered the city without any issues. The problem he faced now was Olivia.

Brant hadn't been able to take her out because her situation was a bit special. In fact, her situation was the same as Brant's family's, which was why both things had to be handled by Sylas.

The government was observing Brant in secret. Obviously, he had been put on a watchlist of sorts. Although he came prepared with his reasons, the government wasn't stupid enough to take everything he said at face value. As a result, his family had been put under some covert monitoring.

The good news was that it still wasn't yet to the point that it was excessive. It was mostly a precautionary measure, which was why Brant noticed that he was being monitored at all. Otherwise, if they had placed their higher-level agents, Brant might not have realized there was something wrong until it was far too late.

The bad news was that any such movement would definitely be reacted to at the first instance.

Brant wasn't of high enough military rank to be given the true keys to anything, which was why he was willing to follow Sylas in the first place. But he still knew enough that the government wouldn't allow him to go so easily. After all, he was one of the few who knew the Trial was coming ahead of time.

By now, Olivia's problem was obvious.
