Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Suicide

"This is not the way to our home."

Miss Collin was sharp. It hadn't even been five seconds since Sylas took the wrong path. Until now, she hadn't felt that anything was amiss other than the fact that their supposed bodyguard wasn't doing his bodyguard duties.

At first, she thought that Sylas was just very good at concealing himself. But she, herself, wasn't a pushover. After not catching the slightest whiff of Sylas in an entire two hours, she realized that something must be the matter.

However, that also made her feel odd. If Sylas wanted to do something to them, why would he just vanish? And why let them go to the amusement park first?

Miss Collin was on edge ever since that previous incident. In fact, it was this incident that allowed Sylas to have such an easy time of it. She and her little boy had been attacked before, and Brant was almost too late to stop something terrible from happening.

It was Legacy.

The likes of Professor Fembroise weren't the only ones that Legacy wanted to catch. Much like Sylas could see through the fact that Brant had a great bit of value, so too could Legacy.

However, they weren't as familiar with Brant's personality and background as Sylas was, so they chose to use force rather than persuasion. Ultimately, the result was the failed attack.

Thanks to this, Brant had a legitimate reason to get his wife and son a guard, allowing Sylas to slip into that role perfectly.

Sylas didn't ignore the woman, as that would make things bad very quickly.

"Indeed, we aren't going to your home. But, all you need to do is think about how you ended up here, and you will understand."

Miss Collin's eyes flickered. Indeed, from start to finish, everything was her husband's idea. Even going to the amusement park today was something Brant had spent half an hour convincing her to do.

When she had this thought, she relaxed. In fact, she even smiled a bit.

Sylas looked in the rearview to see that she was calm and relaxed.

"Can I come out now?" Olivia grumbled.

Miss Collin was startled again. The SUV was large, and from her vantage point, she couldn't see that there was someone between Sylas' legs. She wouldn't even think to consider that something could fit down there to begin with.

"Not yet," Sylas replied. "Stay. Once we've been caught, then you can act."

Sylas looked back through the rearview again. "Protect your boy, but don't make it too obvious just yet."

Miss Collin nodded solemnly. Luckily, the toddler was all out of battery after their time in the amusement park, so he was in a deep sleep.

She gently arranged his hair and took a deep breath to calm herself.

'This is for the better...'
