Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 347

I probably knew everything about what happened next. Steven's exceptional talents suddenly flourished. He entered an advanced class as a teenager and rose to fame overnight. The Lincoln family was thrilled

to welcome Steven back during this time.

Oh, how ironic! How terrible could human nature be?

"How about Simmy?" Eason asked anxiously.

Was Simeon also a baby who underwent genome editing?

Steven gazed at Eason and asked with a solemn tone, "Do you know why wealthy individuals invest in genome editing? They do so because they aspire for their children to become the next Einstein or Rockefeller. But God's creation of human beings is truly miraculous. Every so often, a natural genius emerges to propel the world's development...

"Only God possesses the power to manipulate human genes. However, there are always individuals who dare to challenge this notion, foolishly believing that they can replace or even fabricate God Himself." Steven's words were crystal clear. Simeon was a natural genius, a one-in-a-billion prodigy from birth. Yet, he was changed due to human interference.

He was genetically superior and had been altered and improved based on his superior genetics. He was destined for success.

Steven stared at the scientific researchers. "The woman who bore me carries a quarter of Yowhayton ancestry. Genes can be passed down and inherited. This is the wonder of humanity and the horror of genetics. If it is not against the law, wouldn't you desire your children to be born at the peak of their potential?"

Despite seeming absurd, this idea uncovered an important truth about human nature.

"Do you not desire for your child to be born a genius, possessing natural resistance against various diseases?"

The researchers remained silent.

"But this is uncontrollable. Despite the advantages, the risks of genetic mutation are too high. I can't allow my children to take this risk," one of the researchers replied, shaking his head. Steven agreed. "So we must thoroughly investigate this matter."

Despite the challenges faced, it was crucial to uncover the truth. The entire organization should be completely dismantled and destroyed.

"I've been investigating these issues for six years, yet I've never truly reached their core. I underestimated the complexity of human nature and the horrors of power."

And also underestimated the intelligence of the mastermind.

Steven had concluded long ago that the person who planned all of this was definitely not simple. Without a doubt, this individual was a brilliant genius, far surpassing Steven's intelligence. "Who do you suspect?" Eason looked at Steven nervously.

"Peter." Steven grasped my hand and gazed at me with determination.

He appeared to be assuring me that he would help me replace out everything. He would always be there for me, always protecting me.

"But Peter might not be the true mastermind. I went to the asylum this time not only to uncover Peter's weaknesses but also to assess his true intentions. He is very ambitious and clever, but not exceptionally intelligent." Peter was intelligent but could not meticulously strategize and craft intricate plans.

Eason agreed. "Then let's start with him."

Steven glanced over at Eason. "Regarding the serial murder case, all victims are far from innocent. The reason why this killer has attracted so much attention from society is that his underlying goal... must be to unveil the truth about genome editing."

"He wants us to wait and see. He's provoking the mastermind behind this plan," said Steven, his voice hoarse and low.

I was breathing heavily. From a certain perspective, the individual responsible for the serial murders could be seen as more of an adversary, a foe of the mastermind behind this scheme.
