The Ancient Genes

Chapter 732 - Synthia Onboard

"The Tempest House, I am sure you are more than aware of the connections that you guys share." Max looked at Synthia, and a frown appeared on her face. Still, she nodded. This connection wasn't something hidden among the Ancient Families after all.

"The Wielder Raising program Supervised by your Second Uncle succeeded through the Young Lord of the Tempest House, correct me if I am wrong?"

Synthia's eyes widened in surprise when Max brought the matter up. This was something hard for her to ignore. After all, the identity of their Wielder was supposed to be a secret. Hell, even other families weren't aware of it.

Even she wasn't fully aware of the person's identity except for the fact that it was someone from the Tempest House.

So, how could this not surprise her?

"I have come across Bayu, even though he himself doesn't seem to be aware of it, there has been some modification in his body which seemed to have similarities to Demons," Max said with a serious look on her face.

Now that he was working alongside Beli, it would be a bad idea to get Bayu in in direct trouble. Hence, Max could only use this indirect method.

"There is no way for that to happen unless your family is in touch with Demons. After all, who knows the method of Demonic Transformation better than the Demons?"

Synthia's face had turned dark by the time Max was done talking.

She knew that if she wanted to doubt him, then the evidence was there for her to identify Max's claims. She just had to look for Bayu, and verify Max's words.

A silence enveloped the two.

Synthia seemed to understand the situation.

"If I go with this matter to anyone else, it will definitely cause trouble for the Storm Family. But, I came to you because it would be in your best interest to solve the matter of your own family on your own." Max looked at her.

"And, you will have a much easier time dealing with them if you have some from inside to act as your puppet.." Synthia added for Max. She was not a fool after all.

If Max tried to do something as an outsider, the whole family would come to protect this Second Uncle of hers. But, if Synthia were to raise this matter up, they would investigate it rather than defend this person.

"If you can see this side of the coin, then I am sure you can see the other side as well." Max calmly stated with a smile.

"I know." Synthia nodded, "So, what do you plan to do?"

Max smiled in a pleasant manner, "First, we will need to deal with this Seventh Brother of yours. The reason for his visit is very important.."

"Isn't he coming for his engagement?" Synthia asked in confusion.

"True, but this engagement is a part of a bigger conspiracy. And, if we grab it in the right manner, we will pull out the connections of your Family with the Demons."

"You mean my brother might be involved as well?" Synthia asked with a frown.

"I am not sure, but is he close to your Second Uncle?" Max asked.

"Yes, he is.." Synthia nodded. "He participated in the Wielder program as well."

"That sure is interesting.."

"You aren't thinking of doing anything to him, right? No matter what kind of jerk he is, Father still loves him." She looked at Max with a serious look on her face.

"Well, I can't say anything for sure. But, what would you do if he had sold his soul to the enemies?" Max asked with a curious look on her face.

"Hmph! I don't even need a reason to kill that guy! He has not only troubled me ever since I came out, but he and his mother had bullied my mom for it as well." Synthia's eyes were literally burning in anger.

"To be honest, he just couldn't swallow the fact that I took Rihanna. He had been wooing her after all."

"Well, that assures me in a certain sense…"

….

Max left the place after talking to Synthia for a bit more. She seemed to be informing Rihanna about it as well. And, Max didn't mind it.

He then went to meet with the Old man Sun, and informed him about the development. Even though it was earlier than planned, the old man finally knew who his disciple was going to be.

And, the first thing that he heard about her was that she was going to be forced into an engagement.

If not for Max calming him down, he would have started a war already.

Anyway, Max just asked him to take a back seat and watch. He was their final card if things didn't go as planned.

Now, the wait was only for Erina.

The moment she arrived, things would begin to move.

Max didn't only plan to destroy the Dark Society, instead, he had plans to wipe Ocien clean all at once. He would return it back into the palms of humans.

This was a huge goal, but he was willing to aim for it.

…

On the other side..

Axel got up in the morning as usual when he bumped into Wilson who was sneaking inside.

"You returned right now?" Axel asked speechlessly.

"Yes," Wilson replied with a straight face.

"Quiet romantic for someone with your face, how did it go?" Axel asked with a meaningful smile.

"Of Course, the way it should have.." Wilson seemed to be in quite a good mood.

"You b*stard! You are no longer the same as us!" Axel seemed to have realised a few things.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wilson glared at him, returning to his usual way.

"Well, everyone has a girlfriend, and are leaving the world of us virgins….poor us.." Axel lamented in his heart, but Wilson ignored him.

"Yeah, did you talk to Erina?" He asked, looking at Wilson.

"About what? She messaged me yesterday that she had to return due to father calling her back," Wilson said with a frown.

Axel's figure froze for a second.

'Why didn't she tell him about it?'

"Something wrong?" Wilson asked.

Axel shook his head as Wilson turned around and entered his room.

'What were you expecting from me?' Axel's face changed as he clenched his fist. The thought wasn't going to leave Axel's head anytime soon.

….

Ocien

Four days later…

The person who everyone was waiting for was here.
