Revenge After Death

Chapter 731

Joel sat in the passenger seat while Steven and I sat at the back.

I couldn't tell how long we had been on the road or how many turns we had taken. All I knew was that all the cars started splitting up after we left the mountain road.

It was a diversion in hopes of shaking off Genome Society's surveillance.

But it wasn't hard for Genome Society to find out the Rebels' base. They just hadn't had the time to deal with them for now.

Carol might have thought that she was smart, yet she clearly couldn't hold a candle compared to the mastermind of Genome Society.

The fact that Genome Society managed to survive despite being outsmarted by her suggested that the mastermind was smarter than her.

Besides, the mastermind had clearly given up resisting, deliberately exposing many of their laboratories I figured that not everyone within Genome Society was united. I even suspected that the mastermind was using the Rebels under Carol's control and the police to clean up their own mess.

After all, the laboratory administrators who were exposed were ambitious individuals like Daisy and Nancy. They were vying to take control of the entire Genome Society in order to rise up to the pinnacle of wealth and power.

"There'll be a huge war between the Genome Society and the Rebels. We might not be safe staying here." Steven held my hand before we got out of the car.

He was well aware that I had deliberately come with him to the Rebels. I wanted to escalate the conflict between Genome Society and the Rebels so that the mastermind would lose their cool.

"As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter where I am or if we're safe or otherwise," I whispered while looking at him.

"Do the two of you really think nobody can see through your act? Stop your lovey-dovey act. Even if others can't tell what you're up to, I can." Joel got out of the car and opened the door for us smugly.

He then looked at me warily, only continuing when the driver got out of the car, 'I know what you're planning to do."

He knew I was about to use Carol.

"Are you going to stop me?' I asked, looking at Joel coldly.

He looked at me cryptically. After a while, he smiled and reached out his hand. "What are you talking about? I look forward to working with you!"

Steven's expression darkened as he slapped Joel's hand away. 'Don't touch my wife."

Joel rolled his eyes and said, "You've been repeating the same thing since we were younger!"

I laughed. It did seem like the case.

Simeon was very attached to Steven when he was younger and would always glue himself to him.

My appearance later on caused him to "lose" Steven's favoritism for him. As such, he was rather hostile to me in the beginning.

It was only after he was beaten up by me that our relationship started to get better.

But Simeon would still get jealous of both me and Steven. He would complain about me favoring Steven while also grumbling that Steven only had eyes for me.

"You've always favored him, even before you understood what feelings were," Joel said with a tinge of jealousy as he leaned against the car door.

He continued, "He would beat me up whenever I insisted on clinging to you while sleeping, and you never stopped him. But you would be against it whenever I tried to retaliate."

I got out of the car and reached out to Steven. He grabbed my hand and slowly got out of the car before taking his crutches from Joel

I recalled that the three of us were once healthy and running freely here.

"Carol must've deliberately made the old orphanage building as the Rebels' temporary base. It was also the place where she killed me

Having been abandoned, this place was looking rather desolated.

Even if the most dangerous place could be the safest, it was clear that Carol had no intentions of hiding from the start.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She was also foolishly waiting for the mastermind behind Genome Society.
