Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280: You’re Sure?

This time, Old Brama was on high alert. He sat up from his reclined position, looking at Sylas intently.

"You’re sure about this?"

"You only need to think about it."

Old Brama opened his mouth for a snarky reply, but then seemed to think better of it.

"You’ll get used to it, old man. I could help you through this troubled time, though, if you just help me out with some of your valuable knowledge."

Old Brama ignored Alex. He wanted to ask Sylas to explain, but Sylas didn’t seem to care to. But when he thought about it, one thing did stand out.

The pirates were anything but stupid if they were capable of targeting potential disciples of the Sanctum and yet remained until now. So why would they send a bunch of D-, E-, and F-tiers?

It might make sense under usual circumstances. But... what of the Skarzok and Cervidon? There were two C-tiers there, two C-tiers that would have been onboard if Sylas hadn’t randomly appeared, causing them to die at Old Brama’s hands.

Sylas and the others arrived last minute, but those two C-tiers had been present for quite a long while, mingling amongst the D-tiers. They would know they were there. And they wouldn’t necessarily be able to afford the same rooms as Sylas could either.

Which meant, the odds they would be in the hangar when the attacks came would be high.

So why would they be confident in doing things like this?

The obvious answer seemed to be a timing issue. They would just wait until the C-tiers were occupied before they sprung their traps.

But this wouldn’t likely be the case either.

Those C-tiers had only one priority: to protect their charges. There was no way they would pay so much to be on the star ship, and then act in any capacity that would put that in jeopardy. In fact, the mere fact that they were taking this star ship meant they were aware of the dangers and were ready to weather them.

However, this still wasn’t enough. Just what was Sylas seeing that he wasn’t? There were a million ways to manipulate them into a situation where they would at least leave the other D-tiers unprotected by their influence, allowing the stowaways to counter.

And then there was the elephant in the room.

The only reason Sylas knew to check the hangar for traitors in the first place was because of the captain. Why would the captain put such a thought into Sylas’ mind when it would only be to his detriment?

But that was when it hit him.

Sylas had already said it. It was odd that the captain had come to tell him these things personally, given his standing.

To have them lower their guards against him? Maybe. But it felt deeper than that. _{f .r e\ewebnov(e)(l).c om}
