Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1387

It was neither Cassarae, nor the Thorn Matriarch or Grand Thorns, that spoke first. Instead, it was a member unknown to Cassarae who unfurled a scroll and began to read off the atrocities that Cassarae had committed.

Cassarae just let her read, the list of crimes getting longer, and longer, and even longer than that, until she topped it off with what felt like nothing more than insult to injury.

"… These crimes were levied and sanctioned approximately one month, one week, three days, seventeen hours, thirty-six minutes, and… thirteen seconds ago. Adjusting based on the time it's taken Thorn Cassarae Grimblade to return as she should, there is an additional sanction for every day for the first week, every hour for the first month beyond this, and every minute beyond this first month. This multiplies the current sanctions to—."

"Are you done yet?" Cassarae asked, seemingly having finally grown impatient.

The woman seemed startled by the words, not expecting Cassarae to interrupt even at this point.

"You're wasting everyone's time. I'm not sure who put you up to it, or if you just wanted to flex your intricate knowledge of the rule book, but you can buzz off now. You've already done the important part."

The woman didn't even know what to say, while Wei, who in the crowd of floating roses felt her face go completely pale.

Cassarae didn't seem to care for the woman's response either. She had already looked up.

"Since even this teacher's pet is so familiar with the rule book, I'm sure that you three are familiar with it as well, familiar enough to know that I'm not a disciple under your branch, I'm the Head of the Milky Way Galaxy Branch, I am a Matriarch.

"When I'm given a mission, it's an act of collaboration, not an order. If I deem it fit to act on my own and to do things in the best interest of my branch, then I will do so.

"Of course, you're more powerful than me, and you take precedent in the rule of order because you are a Sector Branch while I'm only a Galaxy Branch.

"But unfortunately for you, you were too busy trying to do things covertly and chose to hand down orders unofficially through a Thorn of your branch rather than through official passage."

Cassarae held up a finger when it seemed that Matriarch Viridorn was about to speak.

"Sorry, I'm not quite finished yet. You see, my husband has a bit of a habit of dressing down people step by step, and letting them fall into their own traps. I thought my plan was decent enough to deal with all of this, but I have to admit that his is better.

"It's just that I don't have the patience to do a back and forth with you first and wait for you to trip over your own words. I have things to do and time is very limited right now. So tell you what, let's do things like this."

Cassarae raised her hand and an orb appeared.

"I bet you're wondering which System Reward my husband received. I was quite shocked when I saw what it was too. I'm not a fan of his cocky attitude. It makes my brain shut off and my panties wet, and the worst part is I'm pretty sure it happens to all the bitches that want to steal my man too.

"But what I have to admit is that he kind of deserves to be. Sometimes." Cassarae looked up.

"Since we're flexing our understanding of the rule book, do you know what differentiates a Sector Branch and a Galaxy Branch? After all, we're all technically in a galaxy, aren't we? So what puts you above me? Is it your strength? The specific galaxy, maybe?
