The Ancient Genes

Chapter 830 Caught?

"Hmmn.." Max frowned a little as he seemed to have heard someone screaming. But, when he tried to concentrate, there was no further shouts and screams.

\'That\'s strange, I definitely heard that voice, and it seemed familiar too..\'

As Max sat there thinking about it, a person suddenly appeared in his room. Max already knew this guy by now, he was the one who had stopped him multiple times from escaping. He was one of the guards keeping a watch on him.

"What\'s up? I am sure, I didn\'t do anything for you to pay me a visit.." Max asked him with a curious look on his face.

The man stared at the Max, but there was no effect on him at all. He had already experienced first hand how annoying and fearless this brat was. And, even he felt that it was a waste to spend his energy on Max while trying to make him understand his position as a prisoner. Hence, he got straight to the point.

"Get moving..the Matriarch has called you to the Ancestral Hall.."

\'Oh..\' Max smiled as he realized that it was almost time for Old man Sun to pay a visit. Even though he wasn\'t sure whether this was the reason for his summoning, he hoped that it was so.

…

"I am tired.." Synthia stretched out her hands as she laid down on the sofa. She had just completed her morning routine for training. Recently, she was not slacking, instead she had doubled her efforts in training.

Even if the increase in her ability was not going to do much in a short period for rescuing Rihanna, she still wanted to do it, as long as there was even a little help that it could bring to her.

"Hmmn?"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her room. It was the guard who was always keeping an eye on her.

"Get ready, you are being called by the Matriarch.."

…

On the other side..

Erina had just entered the Mansion. She was here to train as usual. But, the moment she entered the place, she found Aunt Kel waiting for her.

"You are here, Aunt.." Erina smiled at her, but the look on Aunt Kel\'s face was stark opposite of her.

"What did you do?" Aunt Kel asked Erina with a worried look on her face.

"Umn..what do you mean?" Erina asked in confusion. She didn\'t think she did anything. She literally only had enough time to go in and train before going out. Of course, the little break she had was used to spend time with her mother or look around the city for a bit.

But, there wasn\'t anything she could do in that time.

"If you haven\'t done anything, why has the Matriarch called you? And, she didn\'t seem happy either.." Aunt Kel looked at Erina with a suspicious look in her eyes. "Anyway, go and be honest..don\'t lie in front of her about anything.."

Erina nodded, feeling confused as she followed after Aunt Kel who led the way.

…

Ancestral Hall..

The two Matriarch were seated in their position while Old Man Sun stood in front of them.

Currently, the Matriarch had a dark look on her face as if someone had fed her some shit while both Second Matriarch and Old Man Sun had no idea what was going on.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the hall as Synthia arrived being led by the guard who brought her in before leaving.

She looked around, her eyes landed on Old man Sun for a bit. And, she definitely recognized him.

The reaction didn\'t escape Matriarch\'s eyes, and it only made her suspicions stronger.

The next to enter the hall was Erina, and her face twitched when she noticed Synthia in the hall. After all, she knew she was being called for doing something wrong, and there was Synthia there in the hall too. If she connected the two dots, how could she not realize where this might head to..

\'No calm down..there is no way she knows anything..\' Erina immediately calmed herself. It was impossible for the matter to leak out unless someone gave it out. And, she was sure no one did, and even if they were forced to somehow, they could always inform each other though Max in the Chat box.

"Will you tell now, what\'s going on?" The Second Matriarch finally couldn\'t take it anymore and asked her sister.

"There is still the main culprit left to come.." Matriarch spoke with a menacing look on her face, and as if she had named the devil, he appeared.

Max finally arrived in the hall, and when he saw everyone in the hall. He was a little surprised but controlled his expression and came in the centre while standing a litte to the side of Erina.

\'The old man kept his words..\' Max thought inwardly as he looked at the old geezer.

But, when Max was expecting to hear the words of him being released, he heard something completely unexpected.

"So, which one of you three will tell me how you planned all of it?"

The words immediately made both Synthia and Erina\'s to open wide.

It didn\'t even take a second for a message to appear in front of them from Max, and it indeed pulled the two back to the ground.

Max was actually shocked himself, but he didn\'t let it on his face.

\'How in hell did she find out?\' Max was sure that even Old Man Sun was not aware of anything. It was literally impossible for her to get to this point.

\'This granny is scary..\' Max realized that he had severely underestimated her intellect.

"I don\'t understand.." Erina was the first to start. She looked at the Matriarch with a confused look on her face.

\'So, you are going to pretend till the end..\' A vein popped out on Matriarch\'s neck as she smiled. She had already witnessed their reactions when she said those words. Even though they had calmed themselves, it didn\'t change anything. She was sure about her suspicion now.

Now, all that was left was a battle of wits..

Since she had no proof, she had to make them speak and catch their lies while digging out the truth..
