Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1426

To Elder Leos, it had only been a few minutes since he was here. But to Sylas and the 713th Tiger Warlord, this matter had been set in motion for hours already. Well, to Sylas it was over a day.

Sylas understood the territory of the pirates quite well now. On the way here, he had purposely taken Elder Leos and the Ossarans through a path near the edges of the territory of one of them.

From his understanding of how organizations like this worked, the moment one fell, the others would leap at the chance to swallow their territory. But, not enough time had passed in order for them to fully swallow what was left of the pirate group Sylas had destroyed.

That left them in a situation where they had presence in certain regions, but weren't organized to lead all-out assaults just yet.

And that was a perfect middle ground for Sylas to take advantage of, especially if he was of the opinion that more than just one of these groups was under the control of the Tiger Lineage.

It was then Sylas laid his trap.

Long before he even reached the Sanctum, the 713th Tiger Warlord had already been alerted that a group that had been likely responsible for the Kaelthar prince's death was on the way here.

By the time Old Brama was "planting evidence", he was only adding a bit of polish to a well groomed bride. That was only extra incentive for Byahmad to attack, something more obvious and less subtle than the first plant had been.

Something that would enrage Byahmad the moment he appeared.

Sylas barely had to do anything, and why would he? The 713th Tiger Warlord would handle everything for him.

At the same time, Elder Leos would feel like the timeline was too tight for Sylas to truly be responsible for this.

Even if Elder Leos suspected Sylas at first, by the time the situation settled down and he learned of the War Points, he would realize that Sylas would have plenty of other reasons to be in such a rush to leave.

Of course, Elder Leos would have a stench on him he couldn't wipe away even if he wanted to…

Under normal circumstances, that is.

Sylas already knew exactly how things would play out. That was because if he was correct, the 713th Tiger Warlord would find a way out for Leos, one that damaged that Kaelthar even more.

The best part of this plan?

The Bat Lineage would end up taking the blame for being the reason Sylas could trade for the Lineages in the first place.

In the end, Sylas would get three things he wanted.

First, evidence of the Tiger Lineage's betrayal.

Second, the Legacies he wanted.

And third, the expulsion of the Bat Lineage.

Jala stood in a training room across from Alex, huffing for breath. In fact, both of them seemed to be quite close to the edge, but that was only because Alex was heavily suppressing himself, deciding to spar with Jala for a bit.

"I still don't understand. How will he get those three things?" Jala asked mostly through gritted teeth.

"Evidence is obvious enough, no? The moment the Tiger Warlord acted on the information he gained from the pirates, Sylas had what he needed."

"So you mean to say that… he gets evidence against a hidden enemy, destroys the enemy out in the open, makes the life of someone who offended him a living hell, comes out richer and more information-wealthy… all while not being blamed for any of it at all?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
