Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2055

Chapter 2055: Traitor

There were a lot of ways Sylas thought this could go. This, however, wasn't on his list.

It was almost amusing.

Honestly, if Nobel was insistent, the only thing he could do was leave. There wasn't much he could do about an A- tier Legend who insisted on imprisoning him.

He was already sharp enough to know that Fanelei would be able to stop things from progressing for long enough for him to do this. But honestly, he had been growing bored of staying home for so long, and that was about the last thing he wanted to have to do.

It was odd. He had spent so long as a normal professor, not doing much of anything but a monotonous daily drone. He had done that for years without issue.

But now he wanted more.

It was addicting to face challenges that took a little bit more of him to clear every time.

"What are you expecting out of this?" Nobel asked. "If you don't kill me, I promise I'll spend the rest of my life making yours a living hell."

Malikhi chuckled. "With what you know about me, do you think I arrived here unprepared?"

Nobel's expression stiffened.

"You see, the Lubon have been a bit prickly with our Analei Clan for a long while, and I've honestly wondered why."

If Nobel's expression stiffened first, then it was his entire body this time. It looked like he had been dipped into a frying pan.

"But then I thought, that's right, our Lubon Clan is quite good at information gathering. Their senses are second to none. Maybe instead of trying to figure out why on my own, I should just ask them myself."

"That's enough." Nobel said coldly.

"Is it? For you, maybe. But I'm not quite done yet."

"Malikhi-."

"Now imagine a situation where a Founding Ancestor forms a conspiracy against their own family."

"Malikhi." Nobel's voice was only growing more frosty.

"Oh? Should I stop?" Malikhi asked. "This scandal really is a problem. After all, if it's exposed, the entire family would be destabilized. I'd imagine that's why the Lubon would not disseminate this matter. But how could they foolishly allow a snake to exist in their midst?

"Unless, of course, this snake, in order to save his own scaly hide, decided to take it upon himself to lead the Analei down a slow path of decline so that the Lubon might rest assured."

At this point, even Akshat had grown stiff.

Malikhi smiled and looked toward him. "Not bad, coward. I thought that you might be involved in this matter, but it's good to know that the only fool of our Analei is this old man who thinks himself greater than he is."
