Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 House

[2000 PSs bonus chapter]

Carter knew far more than even Sylas expected, but it probably made sense since he had thought that they were after him.

They had appeared in the evening, not even four or five hours ago, and they were all extremely inconspicuous, or so they thought.

They surrounded the house and entered through covert means, and honestly, Carter thought that meant they were after more people than just him. He wasn't naive enough to believe that he was the only one who had passed the Trial in this place, especially after meeting Sylas.

However, according to Carter, they hadn't found anything. It was as though no one had ever lived there. The house was wiped clean.

Interestingly enough, they were still staying around the house, trying to see if they could catch someone else, or at least that's what Carter thought. He just didn't know how right he was.

Only Bloom and Mark should have escaped that night, which meant that Sylas, as the third, was the only one missing in action. If he didn't know better and returned directly to the house, they could certainly catch him.

But this was far from the most interesting thing that Carter mentioned.

It turned out that just two or so hours ago, a fight broke out.

It was incredibly quick and it didn't even cause much of a disturbance, but it seemed like there were two arms of the government clashing.

Sylas' eyes narrowed when he heard this.

'Two arms of the government? Unlikely. Maybe Legacy was making another move. This disk…'

He felt the heft of the Madness Key around his neck.

Bloom had stayed up for three days straight listening to radio frequencies and tapping in on conversations just to finally get an inkling on where this disk was.

Now, it was on him.

Sylas stood. He couldn't stay here.

"You… where are you going?"

"Not here," Sylas replied.

Carter was speechless. Suddenly, he felt like a cheaply used one-night stand being kicked out of the house… even though Sylas was the one leaving.

Just as Sylas was going to leave, he paused.

"I have a job for you."

Carter frowned, but in the end, he stifled his displeasure. There wasn't much he could do since Sylas had a hold of his weakness, while he knew absolutely nothing about him but his face.

The problem was that now that technology was so finicky, knowing Sylas' face was worthless unless he wanted to make like the Wild West and start posting wanted posters for him everywhere. And even then, he'd have to draw the man first.

All in all, he was fairly screwed.

But now Sylas knew him, knew his name, knew where he lived, and what he had done. Ultimately, all the cards were in Sylas' hands.

"There's a family that I will likely have to use you to protect. I can't stay around here, and they're vulnerable because Legacy is targeting them."

Carter froze and clenched his teeth. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
