"We should go now," Ewan said after completing the discharge procedure.
"You two go on ahead. I won’t be discharged until tomorrow. Zion should be able to pick up," Violette motioned to co near and hugged . "Get so rest when you get ho. Don’t worry too much." I nodded, following Dexter numbly.
Noticing my concern, Dexter whispered, "Violette’s genetic test ca back fine. It’s really just luck."
"Good to hear." I looked at Dexter and sighed in relief. Rubbing my temples, I realized I was becoming overly anxious. Even the sight of a doctor put on edge.
"Don’t worry. You still got ," Dexter gently reassured .
"About Jimmy... "I wanted to know more about Jimmy and the cooperation he ntioned.
"He ca to the orphanage to see three years ago. He knew I was just pretending to be an idiot." Dexter held my hand, leading into the elevator.
"The mont I laid eyes on him, I sensed he was incredibly dangerous. He showed the evidence and facts about Geno Society, telling that genetic modification had beco popular among capitalists 20 years ago..."
"The wealthy began experinting with geno editing, using their own sperm, high-quality eggs, and surrogates to create a superior population, ensuring the longevity of their assets and families." There was no denying that money was the root of all evil.
"The concept of geno editing raised ethical questions. While scientists and researchers proposed it and successfully validated it with animal experints, such inhumane actions were strictly prohibited worldwide."
"As a result, a criminal organization erged-Geno Society. Operating in secrecy, they conduct experints on human subjects, whom they refer to as ’experintal subjects".
"Sofia and I were undoubtedly among these experintal subjects, and it was likely that many others worldwide shared our genetic makeup."
"To gain further trust from the wealthy and secure their funding, these experintal subjects were implanted into the wombs of ordinary mothers. They were born, raised, and integrated into society. Each was closely observed by dedicated personnel docunting their behavior."
"These subjects exhibited
exceptional intelligence, acute
perception, and physical prowess far beyond that of ordinary individuals. They excelled in various fields, including sports, finance, and scientific research."
"The success of these experints attracted more wealthy individuals, who offered their own children-embryos, to be precise-as subjects for what they deed as ’geno editing’ experints’." It was evident Dexter was one of those who had undergone geno editing-a so-called customized baby of the wealthy.
The Black family had invested in the project because Ignatius wanted a stronger descendant to succeed the Blacks. However, Dexter’s "awakening" ca too late, so he was deed a "failure" and heartlessly abandoned at the orphanage.
It was evident that the wealthy never
considered genetically modified children as their offspring, treating them more like re toys. Even Sofia and I were subjected to complete genetic optimization, treated as re experints as well.
Indeed, human nature could be terrifying.
"Clearly, Geno Society hasn’t ceased their developnt of this technology," Dexter said, his eyes filled with sadness as he looked at .
I realized we were rely sacrifices
of the era, mère stepping stones in the guise of so-called scientific progress. It wasn’t imdiate but rather required years of experintation, observation and
data accumulation.
If genetic modification were to beco a global trend, eventually legalized, then we would be destined to be footnotes in the annals of history.
Hence, the Rebels chose to stand up and fight against Geno Society, against the powerful and wealthy...
It was akin to a tiny ant attempting to topple an elephant. The re thought of it left feeling suffocated and overwheld.
"Jimmy is one of the highly intelligent individuals created through geno editing. Martin did it behind Ignatius’ back."
Martin’s ambitions were imnse. If Ignatius had discovered Jimmy’s existence, he would also uncover Martin’s ambition to take over the Black family.
After all, Martin was rely a collateral beneficiary of the Black family, a relative.
Though Martin was rely a relative, his ambition to take over Ignatius’ fortune was palpable.
Dexter continued, "Andy Black died... because he opposed geno editing, condemning it as inhumane. When I, labeled as a defective product of genetic modification, was cast into the orphanage, Andy fought to bring ho."
"However, Ignatius and the other Blacks strongly opposed him, viewing as a stain on their reputation... It was then that Andy committed himself to fighting against Geno Society, adamantly opposing their unethical human experints."
That explained why Andy Black, heir to Huma’s wealthiest dynasty, t a mysterious end. Ignatius chose to remain silent, relinquishing any pursuit of the truth following the loss of such a remarkable son.... It was evident that the figures behind Geno Society were truly formidable.
"Why did Jimmy propose cooperation?" I asked Dexter.
"He’s against geno editing experints," Dexter replied.
His response surprised .
He then elaborated, "While we oppose the experint due to the loss of our kin and loved ones, aiming to prevent such tragedies from recurring, Jimmy’s motives are different."
"He seeks to preserve his privileged status as one of the highly intelligent individuals. He doesn’t want more highly intelligent individuals like himself to erge as they would compete with him for upper-level resources."
I nodded in understanding. As I had anticipated, the murderer’s real target was Geno Society. Killing Sophia Milford, their most significant experintal subject, served as a demonstration of their intentions.
In other words, even if Juliet hadn’t lured out that fateful night, I would have ended up dead anyway. My na was on the Death List.
"Sofia Miller! I’ll kill you!"
As we were about to enter our car outside the hospital, a frantic figure rushed toward from the crowd. The glint from the fruit knife in her hand could be seen. Instinctively, I raised my hands, aiming to grab the knife. But Dexter acted swiftly, seizing the handle before I could.
"Sofia, why won’t you die? You
did it on purpose, didn’t you? You knew Quinn was an AIDS carrier, you knew it all along! I’ll kill you, I’m going to kill you!" Juliet cried and scread, her deanor disheveled and frantic.
"You’ve destroyed my life! You’ve ruined everything!" She collapsed onto the ground, her sobs echoing loudly.
Damien rushed to her side, yelling at her, "Juliet! Co back with this instant!"
Juliet struggled as she wailed.
"She ruined . I won’t let her get away with it. I’m going to make her pay! Kill her, Damien! Kill her for !
She’s not Sophia Milford She’s really not Sophia Milford!"
Juliet’s cries resonated with despair. Contracting AIDS was tantamount to a death sentence for her. Her life was truly ruined.
Looking down at Juliet, who had beco hysterical with pain, I said solemnly, "Humans should never go against nature... What goes around, cos around. You should’ve expected this when you did what you did."
This was Juliet’s retribution, the consequence of her malice.
"What about you, then? Do you really think you’re so kind of saint? Your hands carry more sins and blood than mine, Sofia..."
"Drop the act, stop pretending! No matter how innocent you pretend to be, it doesn’t change your nature!" Juliet threw so photos and docunts at in a fit of madness.
"Dexter! Damien! You’ve all been
deceived! Look for yourselves. This is the observation data Geno Society has on Sofia. I snuck it out! See for yourselves!" Juliet shouted uncontrollably, her eyes filled with hatred as if she Were facing the devil.
