Revenge After Death



Ewan's entire body was shaking. He was probably extremely regretful. Andy Lincoln died because of him.

Genome Society tricked him. They didn't help him clone his sister, and they even killed Andy. Afterward, he realized the truth and started plotting against them.

"Unfortunately, you went from one wrong path to another." I stared at him as I approached him. "Does Steven know?"

Some of the Rebels stopped me from getting too close to Ewan.

He stared fixedly at me. "In order to find the truth, you'll need to trust your gut."

"Who was the one who killed Stephanie?" I signaled for him to lift up his arm. I wanted to check if he was the one who killed me.

"You think I killed Stephanie Carlson?" He laughed before lifting his arm like I'd asked.

It wasn't him.

Ewan was relatively tall. Even as a middle-aged man, he was still quite muscular. He didn't seem like the man who killed me at all. From the memory prior to my death, the culprit had a red birthmark on his arm. Who on earth could it be?

The man had a slender build, but the birthmark on his arm was extremely striking.

I glanced around the room alertly. Aside from Ewan, there was the leader of the group-a man in a human -skin mask who used a voice changer.

What was his real identity? Why the elaborate disguise?

As for Carol's voice that I had heard outside the door... Where did that come from? Was I mistaken?

"They know too much. Kill them all," the man with the voice changer said.

"Kill them? Who's going to help us tell the world about everything if we do?" Ewan had no intention of killing us. He looked at Joel before continuing, "Besides, my son is with them."

"He's just an adopted boy." The man was slightly annoyed.

"You'd develop feelings for a pet dog after spending enough time together, let alone a boy!" Ewan cut him off.

"What the hell," Joel mumbled through gritted teeth. "This is some secret you've been harboring from me, old man!"

Ewan ignored him and continued speaking. "From the very beginning, our terms were to involve an ample amount of law enforcement workers and imperfect victims. You should know that it wasn't easy to gather enough people to fill this ship.

"If everyone dies... our goal will be left unfulfilled."

I stared cautiously at Ewan and the masked man. I had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

"Find the president first!" the man in the mask bellowed. He shot Ewan a warning look before turning to leave.

Ewan instructed his men to keep a close watch on us. Then, he marched off.

"How much can we trust his words?" I looked at Joel, Eason, and the rest.

"At this stage, we're better off being skeptical. Each and every one of them is a seasoned actor by now." Zion rubbed his temples. He was clearly still in shock.

Even Ewan turned out to be a Rebel. Could I still trust the people around me?NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Stop. My head hurts. Now I'm suspecting that my mom is involved," Eason said through gritted teeth.

Then, he stared darkly at Joel. "If your dad is a Rebel, are you part of the group too?"

"I'm just a high schooler. You think too much of me." Joel grunted before plopping onto the floor, ignoring Eason.

For some reason, I had a feeling that he was feeling guilty.

"Zion is definitely clear..." Eason looked at Zion. No one was more trustworthy than him at the moment. Subsequently, he turned to look at Michael. "Your mother is affiliated with Genome Society. That's pretty shocking too."

Michael instinctively looked toward me and Una. He lowered his head before speaking guiltily.

"I had my suspicions when my mother brought Stephanie home in the beginning. I tried to come up with multiple reasons. I even hated Stephanie because of it. I would've never thought she wanted to observe the experimental subject up close."

I didn't say anything. I just sat on the floor with Ashton and Xandra in my arms.

Zion was right no one was trustworthy at this point.

Yara was a prime example.

From the time she led me to Ashton and Xandra, I started feeling suspicious about her.
