Chapter 51

Praising himself, Max glanced at Sylas's bed. Sylas was sleeping soundly, unaware of anything around him. Max carefully crawled under the bed and tapped directly beneath Sylas's pillow.

'I'll start by waking him up lightly.'

Vibrations tend to sound loud only to those nearby. Adding the prepared metal piece and tapping it increased its effectiveness.

Ting, ting, ting. 

'Good sound!'

Max smiled at the ringing noise from the metal piece. He thought that with a few more taps, the noise would be enough to wake Sylas up.

Twenty minutes passed.

'He's not waking up.'
