Genetic Ascension

Chapter 1034  Control

Sylas' eyes shot open, a coldness radiating from him almost instantly. He felt that his wrist was tied down by a chain, and so was one of his ankles. Other than that, he was completely naked, as though he had been stripped down like a lab rat.

The coldness in his eyes had little to do with fury because of this, though. He had already expected as much. And just as he also expected, his Scorned Wraps were still there, as was his Madness Key around his neck.

Maybe they thought stripping him down would do something, but Sylas was probably one of the very few people in this corner of the universe that could be caught and yet not lose the slightest hint of wealth on him.

Well, that wasn't necessarily true. Unlike others, he didn't have protections on his Genes, so it was very possible for him to lose them. But he very much doubted that would happen.

For one, everyone here was probably so used to people having protections on their Genes that they didn't even think or consider the possibility of succeeding in the first place, so they never tried.

And secondly… Sylas' Genes weren't very valuable in the grand scheme at all. There was no Gene he had on his person now that anyone who could take them in the first place would be interested in.

At best, there were his array of Silver Genes. But he hadn't absorbed them yet to begin with, and he had them tucked away in his Madness Key.
