Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588: Still [Bonus]

Alex's gaze flickered. "Do you still have my Beast Bewildering Amulet? You didn't sell it off in that auction, did you?"

Sylas wasn't surprised that Alex knew about Tasia's auction. He might not have known for 100% certain that Sylas was truly involved-after all, it might be someone trying to use him as a facade to hide their identity-but he could definitely confirm this way.

Sylas would have never allowed Tasia to auction off a Legendary Path item. They were too rare and valuable.

[Beast Bewildering Amulet (Silver) (Treasure)]

[Level: 20]

[Target the mind of a beast and feed it illusions]

[While the beast is Bewildered, +10% Physical]

The value of such items was more than could be put into words. The only reason Sylas hadn't used this treasure was obviously because the Scorned Wraps wouldn't allow it.

The amulet needed to form a connection with his Wisdom first, and that required him to put it on. For obvious reasons, that was a huge no-no.

However, Sylas didn't confirm or deny. Instead, he asked a question.

"Why?" _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

He wanted to understand. How would this amulet help them at all?

It wasn't lost on him that this was likely a Dungeon, so there was a good chance that there would be a large number of beasts around. But as far as he understood, this Beast Bewildering Amulet only worked on one beast at a time.

Unless there was just one large guardian beast blocking everything, which Sylas doubted for various reasons, it wouldn't be useful enough for Alex to mention as though it was the core piece of his plan.

When Alex began to explain himself, though, Sylas found his gaze flickering with understanding.

...

The two left the small city and headed out the next day. On the road, it was mostly Alex doing much of the talking, and Sylas found himself surprised at how a man could talk so much and yet say so little of substance at the same time.

Alex was either very good at talking nonsense, or he was clever enough to say a lot without giving away much of the information he knew.

It was probably a bit of both.

"-So what do you think, Syl? Do I have a chance with the dommy mommy?" Alex's eyes lit up like a child on Christmas Day. He looked like he really valued Sylas' opinion.

To Alex's surprise, though, Sylas actually looked over at him. Well, it wasn't the first time Sylas had done such a thing, but this time it felt like he was actually looking at Alex rather than through him.

"Not a single ounce of one."

Alex blinked and then his eyes widened as though he had just made some shocking discovery.

"Fuck me! You let me talk about her like that all this time and didn't say she was yours?! You're trying to kill me here, man. Be honest. Are you planning my death already?"

Sylas looked away and shook his head. "Words are meaningless."

"Really? So if I said I really wanted to bend her over a desk, you'd be fine with that?"

Sylas didn't react even as Alex got more vulgar.

He truly didn't care.
