Revenge After Death



The fairest thing Mother Nature gave to humans was death. It was only a matter of time.

However, some people insisted on going against the laws of nature.

They wanted immortality. They wanted to stay young forever.

Some even start leaning toward dark desires when money and a materialistic lifestyle weren't able to provide them with a higher level of satisfaction or excitement.

Society developed at a gradual yet continuous pace. In just a couple of decades, money had become just a number for many conglomerates. They possessed the most extravagant lifestyle and comfortable living environment in the globe. Life had become mundane for them.

Hence, they needed excitement. They needed something to satisfy their desires.

Immortality and longevity had always been the highest pursuit since historical times.

I sat on the bed and stared at the camera above me.

The camera moved. A red light was flashing. That meant someone was watching me.

If I had to guess, the president of Crowdstar Group probably paid a hefty sum to be able to watch me every day.

I made a gesture of gratitude toward the camera.

Everything aside, this mysterious president was essentially my bank now. I could only stay

in the organization without any fear for my safety if I made him like me.

Since he had now adopted me, the people in Genome Society would need their permission to touch me. If so, at least my life wasn't in danger.

The camera tilted up and down three times, as if to tell me 'You're welcome.'

For some reason, I got the feeling that he was trying to tell me not to worry.

I was probably overthinking it.

The red light on the camera blinked continuously. I knew it meant that he was watching me, but it felt somewhat... soothing, I wasn't sure why, but it calmed my nerves.

I was physically and mentally worn out from today.

I didn't care anymore. I just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

The buzz from the camera's rotation echoed through the space. It seemed to be comforting me and lulling me to sleep.

It was probably my self-defense instincts making me think of nonsensical things. The president of Crowdstar Group was currently the head of Huma's conglomerates. How could he be a kind person?

The wealthy were prone to disguises. They'd offer you some kindness before heartlessly squeezing everything that you were worth out of you.

"Don't worry, Stephie... Sleep, I'll be here."

In a daze, Steven's voice rang out in my head.

Not to my surprise, I could only sleep comfortably while thinking about him.

After I fell asleep, the light from the camera was still blinking.

Even after I woke up, the light was still there.

I didn't know how long I was asleep for. Since Alan had been killed, there was no one assigned to our laboratory.

It was a rare occasion for us to sleep in.

I looked at the camera above quizzically. Did the president of Crowdstar group not need to sleep? Had he been watching me the entire night? What was so entertaining about watching me sleep?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
