"We should go now," Ewan said afterpleting the discharge procedure.


    "You two go on ahead. I won''t be discharged until tomorrow. Zion should be able to pick me up," Rachel motioned me toe near and hugged me. "Get some rest when you get home. Don''t worry too much." I nodded, following Steven numbly.


    Noticing my concern, Steven whispered, "Rachel''s gic test came back fine. It''s really just luck."


    "Good to hear." I looked at Steven and sighed in relief. Rubbing my temples, I realized I was bing overly anxious. Even the sight of a doctor put me on edge.


    "Don''t worry. You still got me," Steven gently reassured me.


    "About Jimmy... "I wanted to know more about Jimmy and the cooperation he mentioned.


    "He came to the orphanage to see me three years ago. He knew I was just pretending to be an idiot." Steven held my hand, leading me into the elevator.


    "The moment Iid eyes on him, I sensed he was incredibly dangerous. He showed me the evidence and facts about Genome Society, telling me that gic modification had be popr among capitalists 20 years ago...


    "The wealthy began experimenting with genome editing, using their own sperm, high-quality eggs, and surrogates to create a superior poption, ensuring the longevity of their assets and families." There was no denying that money was the root of all evil.


    "The concept of genome editing raised ethical questions. While scientists and researchers proposed it and sessfully validated it with animal experiments, such inhumane actions were strictly prohibited worldwide.


    "As a result, a criminal organization emerged-Genome Society. Operating in secrecy, they conduct experiments on human subjects, whom they refer to as ''experimental subjects"."


    Stephany and I were undoubtedly among these experimental subjects, and it was likely that many others worldwide shared our gic makeup.


    "To gain further trust from the wealthy and secure their funding, these experimental subjects were imnted into the wombs of ordinary mothers. They were born, raised, and integrated into society. Each was closely observed by dedicated personnel documenting their behavior.


    "These subjects exhibited


    exceptional intelligence, acute


    perception, and physical prowess far beyond that of ordinary individuals. They excelled in various fields, including sports, finance, and


    scientific research.


    "The sess of these experiments attracted more wealthy individuals, who offered their own children-embryos, to be precise-as subjects for what they deemed as ''genome editing'' experiments''." It was evident Steven was one of those who had undergone genome editing-a so-called customized baby of the wealthy.


    The Lincoln family had invested in the project because Ignatius wanted a stronger descendant to seed the Lincolns. However, Steven''s "awakening" came toote, so he was deemed a "failure" and heartlessly abandoned at the orphanage.


    It was evident that the wealthy never


    considered gically modified children as their offspring, treating them more like mere toys. Even Stephany and I were subjected toplete gic optimization, treated as mere experiments as well. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Indeed, human nature could be terrifying.


    "Clearly, Genome Society hasn''t ceased their development of this technology," Steven said, his eyes filled with sadness as he looked at me.


    I realized we were merely sacrifices


    of the era, mère stepping stones in the guise of so-called scientific progress. It wasn''t immediate but rather required years of


    v


    experimentation, observation and


    data umtion.


    If gic modification were to be a global trend, eventually legalized, then we would be destined to be footnotes in the annals of history.


    Hence, the Rebels chose to stand up and fight against Genome Society, against the powerful and wealthy...


    It was akin to a tiny ant attempting to topple an elephant. The mere thought of it left me feeling suffocated and overwhelmed.


    "Jimmy is one of the highly intelligent individuals created through genome editing. Martin did it behind Ignatius'' back."


    Martin''s ambitions were immense. If Ignatius had discovered Jimmy''s existence, he would also uncover Martin''s ambition to take over the Lincoln family.


    After all, Martin was merely a coteral beneficiary of the Lincoln family, a rtive.
