Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547: Tasia [Bonus]

Sylas raised an eyebrow.

Honestly, all this time, he was trying to figure out what Tasia might know. He didn't expect it

to be something super important, but he also felt that it had to be something worthy of bringing to his attention.

For Tasia to be sent here, it meant that she wasn't very valuable to the higher-ups of Gothamshire. They didn't care one way or another if she was killed, and as Tasia said, they would probably act to kill them on the way back so Sylas couldn't track them.

Sylas honestly didn't expect any one of the envoys to even be aware of the Africor Continent's involvement in the first place.

So how did Tasia know not only this, but even more information than that?

Tasia blinked, seeing through Sylas' thoughts.

"It's very easy to get information out of men who feel the need to prove themselves

everywhere they go," she said with a smile. "It just made it harder on me that you weren't one of them."

"Is that so?"

Tasia's smile didn't waver. "When you go to Gothamshire, you'll see that although it has its flaws, it's built on a system of rules. What you're thinking of isn't likely to happen." "And what am I thinking of?"

It sounded like Sylas was flirting with Tasia, but he truly wanted to understand her thought processes.

It was honestly hard to tell if she was someone of great intellect, or if she just had high EQ, or if she had some combination of the two.

"I didn't have to spread my legs to get this information," Tasia said cheerily.

Sylas shook his head. This woman really always had sex on the brain.

"Jokes aside, I was a maid for much of my time in Gothamshire. I've overheard quite a number of things through thin walls and small serving windows. The City Lord, Enes, also had a habit of writing down everything into notepads. He once said that he preferred voice notes, but he obviously can't use them in this situation."

"I see." Sylas nodded. She explained it simply, but Sylas knew that this bold woman had likely risked life and limb several times. "And what is the request?"

"An Aether stone mine..." Tasia said in hushed tones.

She hardly knew anything about this world; she hadn't even leveled up before. But what she did know was the value of Aether. When she matched that with what she knew about the value of unrenewable resources, it was a no-brainer just how important this information was.

Sylas' gaze flashed. 'Is it the Aether stone mine I already know about? If that's the case, their ability to case a region and find valuable targets is greater than I gave them credit for. 'Somehow, they already figured out my location and the fact I have no faction backing me. That alone is enough to be wary. But this is an extra mile.

'It's more likely that this Aether stone mine and the one I know of are one and the same. Otherwise, the government would have acted to secure it already.'

Sylas knew even more about the value of Aether stone mines than Tasia did, obviously.
