Genetic Ascension

Chapter 797  Caliber

Nyssa's refined smile didn't falter when Sylas didn't reply. In fact, this was the sort of response she expected.

"Your reaction is about what I would expect of a man of your caliber. You like to analyze, and you're not nearly as wild as you seem on the outside. If I'm correct, you're probably a man of education on your world, but the Summoning unleashed quite a wild side of you—maybe a side you've always had but learned to suppress to fit in with the cards you were dealt.

"Your tale isn't a unique one. Men like you tend to either die in a supernova of their own glory, or stamp their own legacy onto the world. Today, you very nearly became the former. I stuck my neck out to save you."

Her words were very straightforward. Since she had already chosen to be herself around Sylas, there was really no need to tiptoe around things.
