Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 346

The baby was never born.

"This is the consequence of tampering with human genomes. Stephanie was born a superhuman. She was naturally immune to various diseases, but it also means that her body isn't suited for reproduction since her birth.

"Much like a mule bred from a donkey and a horse. A mule is incapable of reproduction."

Stephanie was the metaphorical mule in question. It would be impossible for her to conceive a child, let alone a healthy one.

Genome editing was a bit like Pandora's box. Once it was opened, the consequences that followed were unpredictable.

"This isn't a trivial matter. It's honestly terrifying. The scope of implications is very broad. Stephanie was probably not their sole experimental subject. There must be an evil and terrifying organization that had everything planned."

Eason tapped on the table and continued, "We first learned about the genius selection, then learned about the missing teenagers. Serial killings along with dismemberment cases were thrown into the mix as well.

Looking back at this case concerning genome editing, everything seemed unrelated. Who knew that they'd end up inter-relating to one another?"

Eason suddenly showed a remarkable shred of his intelligence.

Perhaps he had always been this smart.

It was just a pity that he figured it out a bit later than someone else.

Steven had already found all of this out many years ago. He had everything plastered on the wall already.

I turned to look at Steven. My gaze burned into him.

I wasn't trying to reprimand him, but I just couldn't understand why he refused to say anything at this moment.

"That's right. The rich have long been conducting genome editing in secret to leave outstanding heirs in their place," Steven's voice was hoarse when he finally spoke up, "I'm actually a genetically modified person as well, but my situation is different from Stephanie's.

"She underwent the complete genome editing process, while I only underwent modifications in resisting hereditary diseases and some enhancements. My intelligence and physical fitness was enhanced, along with some genes related to bettering my facial features."

As soon as Steven finished speaking, everyone stared at him.
