Chapter 547: Tasia [Bonus]



Sylas raised an eyebrow.

Honestly, all this time, he was trying to figure out what Tasia might know. He didn't expect it

to be something super important, but he also felt that it had to be something worthy of bringing to his attention.

For Tasia to be sent here, it meant that she wasn't very valuable to the higher-ups of Gothamshire. They didn't care one way or another if she was killed, and as Tasia said, they would probably act to kill them on the way back so Sylas couldn't track them.

Sylas honestly didn't expect any one of the envoys to even be aware of the Africor Continent's involvement in the first place.

So how did Tasia know not only this, but even more information than that?

Tasia blinked, seeing through Sylas' thoughts.

"It's very easy to get information out of men who feel the need to prove themselves

everywhere they go," she said with a smile. "It just made it harder on me that you weren't one of them."

"Is that so?"

Tasia's smile didn't waver. "When you go to Gothamshire, you'll see that although it has its flaws, it's built on a system of rules. What you're thinking of isn't likely to happen." "And what am I thinking of?"

It sounded like Sylas was flirting with Tasia, but he truly wanted to understand her thought processes.

It was honestly hard to tell if she was someone of great intellect, or if she just had high EQ, or if she had some combination of the two.

"I didn't have to spread my legs to get this information," Tasia said cheerily.

"Well... sort of." Tasia rubbed her nose. "But not really. I wanted to become one of their lawyers."

Sylas would have given her a weird look if he had that expression in his repertoire. Becoming a corporate lawyer wasn't the odd part, but trying to get an internship as a corporate lawyer from an investment banking firm was... well, ridiculous.

Those sorts of firms only hired the best of the best. They weren't going to take on a newbie lawyer. They also already had a law firm that they likely favored and had a many-years-long relationship with.

How was Tasia expecting to make it there?

"Don't look at me like that. I was close, okay?"

"Where did you go to school?" Sylas asked.

Tasia cleared her throat again. "Logiers..."

Sylas looked confused. He had never heard of this university before. That meant that Tasia was two orders off from her dream.

First, an investment banking firm would never take on a rookie to fight for them. And second, the law firms that she would have to get hired by in order to even have a chance at Goldmann's usually only hired from legacy, blue-chip universities.

How was she expecting to make it?

Looking at her appearance, Sylas had a guess. Could she have been expecting to seduce

someone again?

Sylas couldn't help but be speechless. This woman... she was a beauty, though a step or two below Cassarae. Of course, he was biased, but that was beside the point.

What he was most concerned about was whether she was a one-trick pony and his senses had failed him this time.

However, it wasn't long before Tasia gave him an unexpected surprise.
