Revenge After Death



The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I got up and glared at Joel. "You singleton can't you just go daydream on your own if you're not sleeping?"

He rolled his eyes and stared at me provocatively. "I won't! Like it or not, I'm just going to stick with the both of you."

I almost choked, but then I tensed up. This scene felt familiar, reminding me of our childhood.

We would playfully fight and get jealous of each other, thinking that we were getting in each other's way.

"You're so childish," I muttered, sitting up regardless. "I'll shuffle the cards."

Joel sat down gleefully. The three of us sat on the bed and played poker.

After playing for some time, someone from the laboratory delivered food for us.

The lunch trolley was filled with delicious food and fruits, resembling a buffet. It was quite the luxury for the three of us.

"It's just like we're having our last meal," Joel muttered.

I frowned, knowing that Genome Society was about to make their next move soon. After all, they had achieved their goal-the three of us had bonded quite well during this time.

Besides, Sarah had also been observing us. She was checking if Joel and I were truly Simeon and Stephanie, who had reincarnated. They were also afraid that the entire reincarnation fiasco was just a fluke on Steven's end.

"Just eat up. Who knows if this might be your last meal?" I raised my brows, teasing Joel.

He cursed while eating, trying to preserve some energy. "You won't just let them torment me to death, will you, Steven?"

"You have the ability to protect yourself." Steven believed that Joel could fend for himself.

"Both of you would lose your value if I could do that." He propped his arms against the table and looked at Steven and me.

"It doesn't matter. You can make your own decisions," Steven reassured Joel not to overthink.

Joel said nothing, and we continued to eat in peace.

Sarah showed up with her men soon after.

"How's your stay here been, Steven?" she asked with a smile.

Steven stayed silent and ignored her.

He had been a quiet person all along, but he grew more reserved after losing a leg. He stopped talking as much as he used to even when I was with him.

"You're a smart person, Steven. You should know why I brought all of you here. It's not for a vacation." Sarah placed some food on her plate and sat in front of us.

She smiled before continuing, "Once you're done eating, I'll bring you all on a tour around the place, Steven."

I raised my brows, knowing that she was about to flex Genome Society's abilities. They would then start to force Steven soon after.

I placed my cutlery down and looked at Sarah. "You should give us a good tour, then."

Joel was also lounging as he watched her eat.

Sarah ate a few mouthfuls before putting her cutlery down. She then got up and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you around Genome Society's headquarters in the Othard region."

Steven held my hand as he sat in his wheelchair. Joel was the one pushing him around.

As we stepped out of the maze Sarah prepared for us, we were met with a huge expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows. We could see glaciers and the ocean outside.

As expected, it was futile to even try to escape from here.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I took a deep breath and looked down at Steven. He shook his head at me.

It was too unrealistic to escape from here.

The reason Sarah took us on a tour was to make it clear that we shouldn't entertain other thoughts now.

Nothing could escape from the headquarters.
