Revenge After Death



Dayton clenched his teeth and slowly released his grip. "Okay... I'll try. You let her go."

"Cheap bastard! If you had just listened to my instruction from the start, I wouldn't have harmed you, but you just had to put up a fight."

The leader had a strange smile and a stiff expression on his face. He was wearing a human face mask. I sensed something was wrong with him, not because of how he looked but because of his voice...

His voice had clearly been distorted, but strangely, it felt familiar. It was truly weird. It sent chills down my spine.

"Everyone must listen to our instructions and work with us to survive." The leader smiled strangely as he pulled Dayton's hair and asked him to match his irises.

He was controlling these people as if it were a game of obedience, giving everyone subtle hints.

Suddenly, the alarm of the safe blared. "Palm print does not match..."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The leader threw Dayton out and glared at everyone. "He's not the president of Crowdstar Group. Since he dares to deceive us... there will only be one outcome. Death."

The leader was approaching Dayton with a knife. Zion and Eason locked eyes and made a silent pact to rush in to save him. They refused to stand idly by, even if the odds were against them.

"Hey! In the game you planned, you're God. If God possesses the ability to manipulate life and death, what's the point of this game? If it's unfair, the participants' experience will be greatly compromised," Steven spoke before the two reckless men charged forward. His voice was low and filled with ridicule. The leader turned sharply and locked eyes with Steven, a silent challenge passing between them. As the leader shifted toward Steven, my frown deepened. I immediately stood protectively in front of him.

Michael subconsciously attempted to step forward to protect me but was stopped by the Rebels. Perhaps noticing the absence of fear in my eyes, the leader paused. He gazed at me, then at Steven, and suddenly grinned.

"You're right."

After speaking, he looked at his subordinates. "It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. Everyone here, step forward one by one. Even if I have to go through a thousand people, I'll find him."

The leader moved a chair and took a seat. The subordinates randomly chose a person and instructed him to test the palm prints and irises. If the safe blared, it indicated that he was not the right one.

"Shouldn't the safe go into shut-down mode? They've matched wrongly so many times, and it still hasn't gone into shut-down mode," I murmured.

"This type of safe is extremely secure. The system can be customized at will. There must've been experts behind the scenes who attempted to force it open, but they were unable to do so. They can only alter the program to keep the safe from shutting down," explained Eason.

I nodded and settled on the ground, observing the scene. "The president of Crowdstar Group has concealed himself very effectively. He also demonstrates a strong sense of self-preservation. He's certainly no ordinary person. He must be a genius."

Steven responded with a hum.

I pinched Steven's waist and scolded him, "You told me not to act impulsively, but you're being a hero yourself."

Steven pulled me into his arms and replied softly, "I know how to use my brain, unlike some people who are utterly foolish."

Steven was mocking Michael. Michael clenched his hands and shot Steven a warning look.

Not far away, Una sat elegantly and calmly in the corner. She cast a fearless gaze over the room. It was clear that she was determinedly seeking the identity of the president of Crowdstar Group too.

"Even though the president of Crowdstar Group may not be a good person he provides a steady stream of financial support to Genome Society, enabling them to invest more funds in genetic and human experiments...

"But this person is key as he can help us further understand and infiltrate to find the mastermind behind the organization," I whispered, reminding Eason, Zion, and the others.

No matter what, we had to find a way to ensure that the president of Crowdstar Group was not exposed.
