Revenge After Death

It wasn't easy for the cargo ship to dock. As such, the ship was anchored in the Moannard region.

Stephanie and Steven went to check on Carol before getting off the ship.

Andy had been wary of her. He was the one who nurtured her, but he also wanted to eliminate her. As she would be a significant obstacle to Genome Society, even No. 9 wouldn't easily let her go.

She would be trapped in this cargo ship for a long time to come perhaps forever, or maybe she might find a way to escape.

Stephanie did not talk to Carol.

Carol's emotions were bubbling up. Her gaze was intense as she angrily pounded on the container door.

"I will kill you, Stephanie," she lowered her voice and said threateningly.

Stephanie tricked her into coming here, yet she was leaving with Steven whole.

She flashed Carol a smile and looked at her mockingly. "It's not my fault you're stupid."

Stephanie would never let a madwoman like her go back to Huma. As such, her ultimate goal was to lock her up forever in the ocean.

She had originally planned to kill Carol after using her, but she was Joel's sister, after all. For her, living was far more despairing than dying.

"I've already made arrangements with my men. Just follow them to cross the border," Jimmy said, telling them to return via a smuggling boat.

"Be careful of No. 9 and don't trust him fully. Let us know immediately if there's any sign of trouble," Stephanie reminded him.

"Don't worry. He wants to gradually destroy the hive behind Genome Society while I want to reach the pinnacle to enjoy a better view. We generally wouldn't have any disagreements," Jimmy said before nodding.

No. 9 was looking at Steven and Stephanie from a high vantage point on the cargo ship. He flashed them a smile. Before they got off the ship, he told them, "If you want to live a normal life, you have to be completely ordinary. I promise not to bother you and protect you from any trouble from Genome Society, but you need to make sure to stay completely out of it and not mess with my plans."

Stephanie and Steven did not answer him directly, but they figured that No. 9 was not an ordinary person.

"I only want us to live our lives well. I no longer want to care about anything else." Stephanie tightened her hold on Steven's hands, for once wanting to run away.

Steven smiled at her and said, "Alright."

Stephanie and Steven returned to Huma. She went alone but ended up bringing Steven back whole.

Everyone-especially Zion and Eason-was astonished.

As they were both police officers, they finally understood why Stephanie had not reported Steven's death or filed his death certificate. She did not even cremate him but hid his body and froze it.

She was actually keeping a backup plan and preserving his identity.

"Wait, are you really Steven? Even a clone subject couldn't be made identical, so what's with you?" Eason carefully studied Steven before turning back to look at Joel disdainfully. "Why does he look different from before?"

Ever since Joel entered the room, he had been hiding behind Zion. He was fearful after being beaten up by

Stephanie.

"You'd better stay away from her. She's a lunatic." He tugged at Eason warily before complaining to Steven, "Keep a good watch on your wife. Surely, you know what she did to me! She beat me up and almost ended my life!"

Steven chuckled and said, "Aren't you well and alive now?"

Joel instantly lost it. "Fine! What a chicks-before-dicks friend you are!"

Stephanie coldly glanced at him, and he instantly straightened up.

"How useless," Eason muttered, rolling his eyes.

Joel was still a bit shaken as he carefully tugged at Eason. "Let's head back. I still have to get through my military training."

Eason glanced at his watch and flashed Steven a smile. "This brat still has to attend classes. I'll send him back and we can gather for a celebration tonight."

After he left, Zion mustered his courage and walked up to carefully study Steven. "Are you really Steven?"

Steven laughed and replied, "I am."

"You're even laughing now." Zion thought he seemed a bit different, but he couldn't quite put a finger to it. Still, Zion was sure that he was Steven.
