Revenge After Death

Chapter 687

"Do you know that you almost died?" Steven was barely conscious and lying in a pool of his blood by the time Ewan brought him back.

"Please return to the Lincoln family, Mr. Lincoln. Do it for the sake of those you care for. You can never win against the rich and powerful unless you become one yourself," Ewan urged, trying to persuade him to return to the Lincoln family

"Of course, I'll return. It's just that there's no place for me in the Lincoln family right now.' Steven looked out to the window from the hospital bed. "The Lincoln family is full of hungry wolves. I'll meet my demise even sooner if I don't pretend to be crazy."

He had to play the fool in order to live under the watchful eyes of the Lincoln family-he was biding his time. Ewan said. "James is ruthless and cold-blooded. You have to be careful, Mr. Lincoln."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

James entered the ward just as Ewan finished his words. Steven stared blankly outside the window, never once turning around.

He said, "I can't believe you actually found him. You should've just left him dead on the streets. His existence is just a disgrace to the Lincoln family."

James' lips curled upward as he reached over to grab Steven by his chin. "He's quite handsome. The pimps would've loved to get their hands on someone with a face like his."

Steven's eyes were lifeless-only the bulging veins on his arms showed his suppressed emotions. He remained unresisting, which served to lower James' guard.

"I really don't know why Ignatius insists on keeping a dimwit." James spat as he turned to leave. 'Clean him up and send him to me once he recovers from his injuries, Ewan.'

After he left, Steven's vacant gaze turned cold.

"Should we just kill him? Without James around, you'd be the only successor to Mr. Lincoln Senior," Ewan whispered as he wiped Steven's chin with an alcohol wipe.

"It's pointless having him dead,' Steven replied in a low voice. "Since he likes to fool around so much, he'll be useless once he suffers a blow and loses his manhood."

There was no rush in killing him-James had to be kept alive and become utterly useless.

"The Rebels founded by Professor Beatrice, her husband, and your father are now being hunted by Genome Society." Ewan sighed before continuing, 'T'll infiltrate the Rebels according to the plan."

The Rebels and Genome Society were like the two ends of a scale-neither could survive without the other.

Ewan said, 'Even if Ms. Carlson recovers her memories in the future, she'll surely understand your good intentions, Mr. Lincoln."

Genome Society had been hunting the Rebels, killing Stephanie's parents and Andy. They wanted to eliminate them completely.

The reason Steven made Stephanie lose her memories and followed Daisy was because Daisy was interested in his reincarnation project.

As such, Daisy had promised to protect Stephanie on his behalf, allowing her to live with the Ford family as an ordinary person.

It also gave Steven enough time to help Stephanie finish off what she had been planning to do.

"Live your life well, Stephie. Leave all the dirty work to me."

Steven completely removed Stephanie from the picture. Yet, he continued to support the Rebels, preventing them from collapsing entirely.

Genome Society would feel threatened as long as the Rebels existed. Only then would they shift their focus

away from Stephanie.

Ewan asked, "What are you still waiting for, Mr. Lincoln?"

Steven kept looking out of the window while calculating something during his stay in the hospital. Ewan did not understand what he was doing, but he vaguely sensed that Steven was waiting for something.

"I'm waiting for the right time to come." Each time, he would just say that he was waiting for the right time. Ignatius made Ewan lock Steven up in the attic of the Lincoln residence after Steven was discharged. He believed that Steven's unstable behavior would only disgrace the Lincoln family.

James suffered from an ailment due to excessive sexual activity during that period. He became azoospermic and impotent, even resulting in him being unable to have normal sexual relations with women.

As such, he became increasingly irritable and started tormenting Steven as his pastime. He even wanted to hand Steven over to the psychopaths on multiple occasions.

"How much longer do you plan to endure, Mr. Lincoln?" Steven was constantly covered in bruises every time Ewan came to visit him in the attic.

Steven stayed curled up in the corner, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips. "'Have you heard of The Truman Show? Everything we do or say is being watched by Genome Society.

"I'm a monster whose genes were edited before my birth. If I'm not miserable enough, it won't help with what I need to do next."

Steven was doing this on purpose. He wanted to make Genome Society lower their guard against Stephanie and him.

He also wanted to become a powerful backer-one even more powerful than the Lincoln family. It would be too easy for them to figure out his plans if he were to reveal his true abilities too soon.
