Revenge After Death



I began to panic as I tugged at Steven's hand. "Let's go back. I'll stay with you, Steven. Let's go back."

He tugged at my wrist and shook his head. He was enduring the pain. He coughed out blood once again when he could no longer endure it.

"Steven!" I cried while pleading, "Please don't leave me!"

I finally managed to find him after all this while.

Steven hugged me tight and looked at Michael. "Keep on moving."

"No!" I struggled to push him away, but he was too strong. He refused to let me out of his embrace.

"Steven!" Andy and Sarah began to panic.

Andy was worried that the reincarnation data and its secrets would disappear forever if Steven died. He wasn't worried about his own son dying.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Turn off the micro bomb!" he yelled anxiously for Sarah to turn it off.

However, it was impossible to turn the micro bomb off once it was activated.

"The signal is blocked-I can't turn it off!" Sarah said, panicking.

I thrashed around hard, crying as I pleaded for Steven to let me go, yet he refused to do so.

Michael fell silent for the longest time. He dared not move.

"Michael" Steven turned to look at him with reddening eyes. "Don't forget what you promised me."

He had told Michael that everything would end only with his death.

Michael's eyes were clearly red as he clenched his fist, looking at me. He was probably still scared of me.

"Michael!" Steven trapped me in his embrace as he yelled uncontrollably, "Please!"

This would be the first and last time Steven begged Michael.

In the past, he would submit to anyone but Michael, but now he was begging Michael to kill him.

Michael clenched his fists tightly as he turned to instruct our contact to start moving the boat.

"No! Turn back around, Michael! Stop him, Joel!" I cried while trying to push Steven away.

Joel did not move. It was as if he had also accepted the fact that Andy would never be eliminated unless Steven died.

We had finally caused Andy to lose everything but the headquarters' laboratory now. Steven had finally turned himself into the ultimate leverage over Andy's life-and he was destined to die.

This was a trap set by Steven personally-one with no way out.

"Stephie..." Steven's voice trembled as he chuckled while hugging me tight. "I love you. I'll always be by your side, just in a different way. But trust me, I'll always be by your side."

I shook my head while crying. I refused to let him die.

"Hug me." Steven's voice was beyond weak now.

My arms trembled as I hugged him tight. He leaned against my shoulders, while the scent of blood permeated the air heavily.

His last words to me were asking me to hug him. He had yearned to be loved so much that he wanted to die in my arms.

I gradually stopped feeling his heartbeat and breathing. His arms around me slowly slid down as he lost the strength in him.

I remained stiffly crouching in place, looking up blankly at the blue sky and vast ocean.

My world fell deathly silent at that moment.

Steven was dead.

Andy and Steven stopped their boat as they watched us gradually pulling away.

As they lost Steven as their bargaining chip, they could only hope for the scientists in the base to be able to discover the key to reincarnation.

But how was it possible for those useless pieces of trash to be able to do that?

I gently laid Steven flat on the deck before getting up to look at Andy and Sarah.

Has everything come to an end now? It hadn't.

After all, Andy and Sarah weren't dead yet.

It was a week later when we brought Steven back to Huma.

As expected, the police couldn't find anything in Genome Society's base. They could only head back.

Genome Society's laboratories in the country had been pretty much wiped out, dealing a significant blow to Andy.

For the time being, his focus was entirely on finding the key to reincarnation. "Stephanie," Joel called for me.
