Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Cocky Bastard [Bonus]

Sylas' lip couldn't help but curl a bit when he saw her. She looked like she wanted to take a bite out of someone's neck, half irritated and half anxious.

It was only when he suddenly appeared at her table that she noticed his appearance.

"You..."

Cassarae didn't know what to say.

Sylas looked perfectly healthy, as though he had been living the good life. Honestly, it could be said that he had been. He had had his first night of excellent rest in a while, he had eaten a mountain's worth of food, and he had people waiting on him everywhere he looked.

In fact, because he knew that he was coming here, he was wearing the same outfit he had when he touched down from the helicopter to Paradise: a turtleneck, a pair of jeans, and a nice trench coat on top.

At the moment, he looked nothing like the man who was in the news everywhere... nothing like the man who had murdered a General and his steed with nothing more than his fists... nothing like the man that was now wanted for killing a General of the Celestial Republic... nothing like the man who had a warrant out for his arrest...

Nothing like the man who had somehow lost all his Merits at once.

This last one was the one that Cassarae worried the most about. When she saw Sylas' name disappear from the Merit Leaderboard, how could she think anything other than the fact he had died?

But since he was here alive, that only meant one thing...

Just how many Demerits did he have right now?

Cassarae suddenly wanted to punch his smiling face. Didn't he know how dangerous this was?

The Grimblade's Warrant was the least of his worries. At least only Grimblades could partake in that. But having Demerits, especially heavy Demerits, was like being pegged as Earth's number one enemy.

If they weren't in a virtual setting right now, she might have gotten a Quicktime Event to kill Sylas right here and now.

It wasn't just the fact that the system would target Sylas, but it might reward people for targeting him as well.

He had gone from the hero of Earth to public enemy number one of Earth.

"You seem worried," Sylas finally broke the silence.

"Fuck, Sylas. What did you get yourself into?"

"The usual."

Cassarae rolled her eyes. She should have known better than to worry about this bastard. Only good people died early, and he was far from it.

Still, seeing how casual he was being, she relaxed.

"Where've you been for four months?"

"I got stuck in a Dungeon outside of Earth. I thought it was only a day and a bit that passed. When I got back, it was four months."

Cassarae's gaze flickered. This was the first she had heard of such a thing, but she nodded, taking it in stride.

"What did you want to talk about?"

Sylas almost laughed. This woman was a tough nut to crack, indeed.

If he hadn't contacted her so soon, she would have thrown a fit. But now that he had, she sounded like she wanted to shoo him away already.

"How is Casstle Main?"
