Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982 Unsure

Unknown to Lorien, Sylas' pause had little to do with the fact a contract appeared. In fact, it was taking everything in him to not shatter her head to pieces right this moment.

It was hardly an enslavement chance; it was practically a marriage contract. Even half dead, it seemed that this Lorien thought quite highly of herself.

When Sylas read the rest of it, though, he understood why she would. Maybe she was aware of how he would react and as such chose to be quite upfront. But that hardly changed Sylas' thoughts much at all.

He didn't care how powerful his children were. He cared first and foremost about how powerful he was. Ideally, his children wouldn't have to fight a day in their lives.

Sylas could only be said to be an oddball. He had very high standards for himself, and he seemed like the type that would be a strict parent. But the one thing he never did was project his discipline onto others.

He only gave his sister information on becoming a Rune Master because that was a path she was already following. Even his sister's sweet tooth, he did nothing to try and manage it. In fact, he often facilitated it, buying what she wanted or letting her have his desserts. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Though he knew how dangerous things were, he never really pressed his parents or grandfather to improve faster either.

He simply wasn't the type.

To another man, Lorien's offer and the reveal of the Unique Gene she could pass on to "their" children was as far from attractive to Sylas as it could get. It was even more infuriating because it reminded him of the Nyssa situation far too much.

Even though he was the dominant party this time, the taste that was left in his mouth refused to leave. Maybe until he could suppress the Florineth, it would never leave. And even then, it would only dull.

He had said it many times… his standards were far beyond others.

Sylas closed his eyes. Fury, discontent, the way he was taking his rage out on Lorien when all she had really done was beat him a single time… these things weren't like him.

No, they were like him. These were just the first times he had ever experienced true failure in his life. Failure that came not because he didn't care to try, but because he had done his best and it still wasn't enough.

It seemed that he was a terribly sore loser.

'Then just don't lose anymore.'

The thought seemed to send his rage receding like a tide.

He opened his eyes and looked at the beaten and battered Lorien. She had tried to use her Unique Gene as bait, but she had no idea that, in all likelihood, he could just kill her and take it for himself.

But given the specifications of the Unique Gene… he bet that there was quite a strong Gene Lock on it.

He should just kill her.
