Chapter 1720 Baron Gene (2/2)

”Consumed a Baron Xenogeneic Gene. Baron Gene +1”

When Han Sen finished it all, he heard what he had wanted to hear. His gene tally had increased, and although it was only a Baron tier—which was the lowest—it was a good start, nonetheless.

The heat inside his body lasted a whole hour, and after that, his body temperature returned to normal. Now, though, Han Sen was feeling much stronger.

His Spell armor, as he had begun calling it, didn't seem to improve. That surprised him.

Xenogeneic genes only increased the strength of Han Sen's actual body. They didn't improve his Spell armor.

As Han Sen was happily thinking about these changes, Kun came back. He told Han Sen to pack a few things because they had been given a mission to hunt a xenogeneic.

Han Sen and Kun packed up, as he, Kun, and Long were a team. There would be ten people going on this mission, all led by one leader.

In the plaza, they found nineteen other teams. A captain oversaw them all, and he directed them to board a ship to fly elsewhere.

Han Sen knew Hardman used his people as pawns and little more. Han Sen was prepared for this, though, and he had been expecting it.

Hardman only saw them as cannon fodder. Han Sen's contract put him in a slightly different role. Soldiers could only earn money, but if Han Sen killed a xenogeneic, he could earn rewards in addition to the monetary sum.

Han Sen didn't see any Nobles amongst them. They didn't mingle with ordinary soldiers.

”Where are we going?” Han Sen asked Suo Tu.

Suo Tu merely shrugged and said, ”We are just soldiers. We don't know where we're being deployed. We'll end up fighting no matter where we drop, anyway.”

”If this is so dangerous, why are you joining the hunting group?” Han Sen wondered.

”Because there is a lot of money involved,” Suo Tu said. He then got out his wallet and showed it to Han Sen. It held a picture of a beautiful Kate woman and a little girl. They smiled joyfully.

But the little girl had no hair or fur, and she looked bald.

”My daughter has a genetic problem. A lot of money is required to heal her. She needs expensive geno fluid to stay alive, and that is why I am here,” Suo Tu said calmly.

Han Sen didn't say anything. He wasn't good at comforting, so he wasn't sure what he might say that would make the man feel better.

”I tell you this not for sympathy. I just want you to know that you should be careful. If you are in danger, don't expect someone to play the hero and attempt to save you,” Suo Tu said, pocketing his wallet.

”You're not bad,” Han Sen told him. He knew the man meant it as a genuine warning, not a threat.
