The Ancient Genes-Chapter 692 - Impostor

"Looks like you indeed have some idea about it." Axel snorted looking at Max's reaction. If this guy still said that had no idea, then Axel was going to take his gun out and shoot him right now.

This image was obviously sent to him by Naze.

As for how he got Axel's number, he had no idea, but knowing how he knew Max and Eren, it wasn't a surprise that he could reach him.

Axel obviously tried to call him. But, the jerk seemed to have blocked him. The meaning was obvious, 'I will contact you at my convenience'.

Max looked at Axel and opened his mouth. But, he didn't have any idea where to begin and what to say. He honestly hadn't thought that he was going to be pulled in between the two brothers like this. It was their matter, why in hell did they have to bring him in like this.

"I was the one who made him visit you. Didn't he tell you about it?" Max decided to go with something which would soothe the situation.

Axel's brows seemed to ease a bit. He already had his suspicions when Naze told him that he promised someone to meet him. And, then he later added that Max was in his touch. So, he wasn't that surprised to hear that.

But, that was another thing. He was grateful, sure, it was fine.

Yet he couldn't understand why Max didn't tell him about it earlier. Just knowing that his brother was alive would have been a very big thing for him. He should have known that too, and yet he hid it.

Did he not know that Axel had been suffering all this while due to it?

No, he knew it very clearly!

"Why did you not tell me about it before?" Axel asked with a frown, Max could clearly see the rage in his eyes.

"What was I supposed to do then?" Max asked with a complicated look on his face as he took a seat.

"You were already upset thinking that Naze was dead due to you. It was still better than telling you that your brother had gone rogue, and was our enemy now whom I might kill at any time."

"So, did you want me to tell you that he was alive when I knew that I might be killing the guy next second?" Max further added with a frown.

"What are you talking about?" Axel asked in confusion. He had no idea what was going on. He just knew that Naze was alive. That guy hadn't shared any other information after all.

"Didn't you meet him?" Max asked with an odd look on his face.

"We did, but that jerk ran off after telling me he was alive," Axel replied as his face turned a bit dark. He clearly was angry, it could be seen from the fact that he was shivering while clenching his fist. He was now regretting not punching that guy more.

If he knew that Naze was going to run away like that, he surely would have broken his legs for sure. And, then dragged him back along.

Max's face twitched on hearing that. He had told the guy to meet Axel, and Naze just did that.

That guy was clearly messing with everyone.

"What do you mean he is our enemy?" Axel asked with a frown when Max didn't continue.

"Well, he was our enemy. And, you know who our real enemies are." Max cleared himself, seeing the concerned look on Axel's face.

"That guy was working with the Demons." Axel's face turned dark.

Everyone's eyes immediately widened for a second.

"What are Demons?"

Eren suddenly asked, and the room fell quiet.

'Crap!' Axel looked at him in shock. He was so concentrated on the matter that he forgot about Eren. After all, the guy had been quietly standing all this while.

There were five people in the room here.

Axel, Mark, Eren, Wilson and Max.

The guys exchanged looks.

They were wondering how to clean this mess that Axel had made.

"Enemies…you said enemies...right?" Eren further asked with a frown on his face. He suddenly began to connect some obvious dots. Why these guys kept disappearing, and why they all slipped on the same day. It was now making sense.

"So, you guys have been hiding about this all along." He looked at everyone, and they knew it was too late to correct this guy. Even if they tried, it would make them look even more suspicious.

"Why aren't you guys speaking?" He further asked with a frown.

"They are just a group of bad guys," Axel said in a calm voice. "And, we call them demons due to their heinous acts."

Calling a bad group of people demons was nothing unique.

He was sure that nothing was odd about it. And, the guy would be fooled.

"You guys are strong." Eren suddenly spoke before turning his head towards Max, "Especially you.."

"And, yet all of you were injured. So, I assume your opponents were strong as well. Meaning that the fight would have definitely caused chaos."

"And, I know a few chaotic incidents which had been labelled as accidents in the past few days."

"It sure is a bit too odd for a Union or the Association to censor a group of bad guys who fight students." 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"..."

Max turned his head to look at Axel, <<What did you do to him? Was he always this smart?>>

<<Hell no!!>> Axel immediately denied. He himself was in shock right now.

Was this guy really the Eren they knew?

"Who are you?" Mark asked as he looked at Eren with a frown on his face. "I have known Eren for a long time. That guy is a total moron. There is know way he could made such precise deductions."

"Should I beat this impostor up?" Wilson asked with a smile as he punched his palm and got ready for some exercise.
