Chapter 778
Indeed, Stephanie did not lie to Carol.
On the day she was captured, Stephanie promised her that she would be able to locate Joel's final hideout as long as she cooperated with Stephanie.
They would then work together to destroy his last lifeline and eliminate Genome Society once and for all.
Carol was unwilling to submit to Stephanie, but Genome Society was in the midst of wiping out the Rebels, leaving her no choice but to comply.
If she refused to cooperate, Stephanie would kill her and use her body as proof of allegiance. But there might still be a slim chance of survival for her if she cooperated.
Stephanie stood at the edge of the ship, staring out at the dark, vast ocean.
The ocean on a windless day was more terrifying than during a storm. It was too calm and unsettling, as if it was about to swallow everything whole.
"There's no turning back once we're here, Stephie," Steven whispered.
"We have no way back now, Steven," Stephanie said hoarsely.
Steven stared at her and chuckled. They truly were united as husband and wife.
"Time for a security check." The armed leader scanned Stephanie's body as she went through the security check, even asking her to take off her hat.
After patting her down and using a metal detector on her, he finally cleared her and allowed her into the cabin.
Jimmy walked behind her and whispered, "You'd better not act rashly and throw yourself into danger. Don't drag me along even if you want to do that."
Stephanie coldly glanced at him and said, "Address me as your sister-in-law."
Jimmy gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath. He endured it and said, "You have to stay calm, dearest sister-in-law. A small slip-up might ruin our plans. If you want to obtain Steven-"
He rephrased himself once he realized how weird he sounded. "You have to bear it if you want to obtain Steven's clone subject."
Stephanie ignored Jimmy and walked into the cabin indifferently.
Everything seemed normal on the ship, with its cargo stacked up but not all of those containers held goods.
The cabin felt like a completely different world from the outside. The further down they
went, the more shocking it became.
It wasn't until they reached the bottom level that they met Sarah in the blindingly bright lab capsule.
She started dressing up glamorously after being reincarnated into her clone subject. Perhaps this was her original taste in fashion, yet it seemed a little out of place for a youthful body to be paired with the fashion sense of someone in their 50s or 60s.
"We meet again, Stephanie. I knew you were going to come back." Sarah flashed Stephanie a smile.
Stephanie reached out to point at Carol. "I've brought you the person you're looking for. I don't want any money-I want Steven's clone subject."
She did not beat about the bush. There was no point in doing that anyway. Andy would have guessed it given how smart he was.
"Did Steven give you the experimental data?" Sarah asked, looking at her suspiciously. "What? You're their ready-made experimental subject now that you've reincarnated. Have they not found the key to reincarnation even after experimenting on you? What useless trash they are!" Stephanie grinned as she grabbed at Sarah's wrist.
Beneath her long-sleeved dress, there were purplish bruises, needle marks, as well as signs of electric shock.
It was evident that Andy was treating her no more than an experimental subject now. "You dare to be so obnoxious even when you're here? This is the high seas. No one will be able to find your body even if we kill you!" Sarah pulled her arm back, flushing in anger." Give us the experimental data now!"
Stephanie turned to Andy, who was watching her while leaning against the desk. "How can you tolerate her when she's so noisy?"
"Well..."
Within a split second before any of the guards could react, the dagger hidden in Stephanie's sleeve had already penetrated Sarah's neck.
Sarah clutched her neck in shock, looking at Stephanie indignantly.
Stephanie wiped the splattered blood from her face and smiled, looking almost maniacal. Silence finally befalls the world again."
Jimmy looked at her in shock while Steven only sighed beside them.
Sarah had dug her own grave. Stephanie had wanted to kill her for the longest time.
Stephanie had repeatedly said that only by killing her original subject could she exist in a complete form in nature.
Jimmy's expression fell. Stephanie and the others were immediately held at gunpoint.
