Revenge After Death

Chapter 729

Genome Society's mercenaries eventually retreated. There were just too many of the Rebels, and they were all Junatics.

Both sides had to lay low in order to stay out of the police's radar.

Joel jumped out of the first car and scratched his head. "All this is really messing with my college entrance

exam."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I calculated the dates and said, 'Your college entrance exam should've passed by now."

Was he that studious to be thinking about his college entrance exam all day long?

Joel looked smug as he said, 'I got scouted."

I rolled my eyes. He had been waiting for me to ask him just so he could show off-I shouldn't have bothered asking.

"Do you know which university scouted me?' He started to brag when I didn't continue asking about it. "It's Huma University. It'll be a breeze for me seeing that I'm going back again!"

Steven found him a little too smug. "Shut up.'

Joel stopped talking. He leaned against the car and looked toward the others who had come with him.

"Please come with us,' the person said.

We had to go with them today.

Steven looked at Joel, who shrugged. 'It's no use looking at me. Carol is in charge of the Rebels."

I looked at Steven and said, 'It might be safer for us to go with them."

We would let Genome Society and Carol go at each other.

Steven nodded as he understood where I was coming from.

"But the two children are innocent. Let them stay with Michael,' I said. I didn't want to involve Ashton and Xan. After all, children were innocent

Michael was right-they needed socialization. Perhaps they could even find their own emotional support in the future.

"That's fine with me," Joel agreed readily.

Ashton and Xan looked at me nervously. Ashton angrily asked, "Are you trying to take my dad away?"

I raised my brows at him. 'I'll eat your dad up until there's nothing left of him."

Steven smiled helplessly and reached out to ruffle Ashton's hair. "Take good care of your sister and listen to your teachers. Don't bully your classmates, study well, and grow up to be helpful citizens of the society."

Ashton teared up and whispered, 'Will I be able to see you again, Dad?'

Children's hearts were delicate, especially someone as mature and smart as Ashton

He also understood that we were heading into a "battlefield-one with no gunfire. This might even be our final goodbyes.

Steven did not make the promise as he might not be able to keep it.

"What about you? Can you still come back?" Ashton asked me while crying when Steven said nothing.

My heart ached deeply when I looked at the kids.

I, too, had wanted to stay by their side and play an important role in their lives. But the reality was always harsh.

"I'm sorry we had to part like this," I softly said to Xan as I crouched in front of her. 'I want to stay by your side

too, but the future is uncertain, and I'm not in control of it."

Her eyes were reddening. Although she had autistic tendencies and was always lost in her own world, she understood what I was saying. Her emotions were even more delicate than Ashton's.

She looked up at Ashton before looking at me. She said softly, "Home."
