Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 554

Chapter 554

Jimmy instinctively reached into his pocket, and he was visibly upset. "When did you steal that from me?"

"It was when the intelligent woman beside you started to doubt my intellect." I smiled at Una and guided Steven into the dining area.

"Mom!" Just as I was about to search for Zion, Rachel, and the others, Ashton and Xandra came running toward me and leaped into my embrace.

When Ashton and Xandra didn't reveal their true colors, they appeared adorable. Every passerby would marvel at their beauty. However, I couldn't ignore that behind their outward cuteness, something terrible and uncontrollable lay hidden.

The cruise ship was suddenly hit again and shook violently. I instinctively protected both children in my arms while Steven shielded the three of us.

"Hand over the list of personnel we require or the cruise will sink," shouted the people on the ships following closely outside. They demanded that the Rebels send out the people they requested.

Some passengers rushed to the windows and desperately called out to the ships for help. "Are you here to rescue us? Please, we need your help! Help us!"

They were far too naive. Within Genome Society, there were varying tiers even for the wealthy.

A major sponsor like the president of Crowdstar Group was the first passenger they sought to rescue. They would not easily give up a major sponsor who could provide the organization with multiple small project funds at once. The Rebels were also keenly aware of this.

"There isn't much time left for everyone. Anyone wishing to leave the cruise ship and survive must act quickly to replace the president of Crowdstar Group and complete our game," the voice on the broadcast urged again.

This was a powerful motivator. Rescue ships were waiting outside, and the messages on the broadcast would only serve to further agitate everyone.

"Eat quickly and drink water. Conserve your energy." Steven had a bad feeling and urged everyone to eat as soon as possible.

Joel immediately grabbed a big lobster and started eating it. Eason looked at Joel in disgust. Zion cleverly packed some high-calorie food and placed it in Rachel's arms. She sat in a wheelchair and discreetly covered the food with a blanket.

I quickly grabbed two boxes of milk and stuffed them in Ashton's and Xandra's arms. I intended to make a quick exit before chaos ensued.

"That's him! He's the president of Crowdstar Group! He admitted it himself!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted and pointed at Steven.

I frowned and cast a vigilant glance back at the man. He had hurried over from the medical capsule. Sure enough, we had to eliminate the source of the trouble from the beginning.

"Capture him! Hand him over to the Rebels and request them to release us!" Someone took the initiative by creating disturbances.

I glanced at Steven. Eason, Zion, and Joel exchanged glances while Maverick trailed anxiously behind them. Xandra, who had gone to fetch the fruit, also joined us fearfully. Upon her return, she held the hands of the two children.

"Run! Run separately!" I shouted, pulling Steven with me as we fled. Steven and I dashed in opposite directions to avoid bringing trouble upon them.

"Stephie, go back!" Steven insisted I return.

I firmly gripped his wrist. "No way! I won't leave you alone."

We ran into the corridor and were stopped by some people. Steven looked concerned and watched them closely. After experiencing the baptism of killing, their will to survive was now at its highest.

Just as Steven and I believed that this was a battle for our lives, the door behind us opened. A hand pulled us inside before promptly closing and locking the door.
