    Ashton whispered, "They went around the city center three times. I caught the scent of roasted coffee beans thrice."


    He also had an exceptional sense of smell. He had keenly picked up the scent of roasted coffee beans from the car''s cirction system.


    Ashton realized that they were driving in circles by identifying these scents. He would be able to pinpoint their exact location as long as he was given a city map.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    "They''re insane to actually ce theboratory inside the city center-" I whispered.


    But I had to admit that Daisy was indeed smart. No one would have guessed that Genome Society''sboratory was actually inside Huma''s city center.


    "Should we call the police and tell Zion and the others?" I looked at Steven.


    He shook his head. "Daisy is crucial to Genome Society. She also has the most ess to the higher-ups. I''m not confident about Dayton, so we shouldn''t alert them for now."


    Steven always made sure everything was perfectly nned.


    Dayton was a little lovestruck at that moment he waspletely focused on Xandra now. Steven was worried that he might mess things up, which was why he had to keep Daisy around as a backup n.


    "Daisy''s n is to use Una''s body to restore her youth. That''s also why she took you in back then and even allowed feelings to develop between Michael and you," Steven replied in a gruff voice.


    I looked at him in surprise. "But our gics are different-"


    Did Daisy have the same gics as well?


    "Daisy and Nancy are experimental subjects with the same gics. They''re the second-generation experimental subjects, and you''re the third-generation." Steven looked at me worriedly.


    "As expected." I nodded. Afterbining it with Xandra''s words, it all made sense now.


    No wonder Ashton said Daisy was one of us. No wonder Miguel said he had brought Daisy out from theboratory.


    "It seems like Miguel also invested in Genome Society," I said with a low voice.


    That Miguel wasn''t much of a good person either.


    "He was one of the earliest phnthropists. When Genome Society first entered the Huma market, they imed to be doing work that was beneficial to humanitybating cancer, gic diseases, and such. "That was why Miguel had been funding Genome Society. Butter on, he discovered their terrifying secret and probably spent a fortune buying out the experimental subjects'' lives."


    Just like how I was brought to theboratory by Genome Society, with a clear price tag for the wealthy to " sponsor" me.


    These wealthy people seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted. And Genome Society provided them a secret ce for such purposes. It truly was terrifying.


    Steven said, "All these years, Genome Society has been providing wealthy individuals worldwide clean organ sources, clone subjects, offspring, genome-edited descendants, and other services.


    "They would even provide many inhuman and terrifying things, like using abducted women and children


    as blood banks or cerebrospinal fluid extraction sources."


    Steven''s words sounded cold, yet Genome Society had done things far crueler than what he had just said.


    They had built a vastwork worldwide to amass wealth and conduct experiments that went against humanity and nature. They had already developed many undisclosable secrets in ces ordinary people would never imagine-things like clones, reincarnation, and immortality.


    Humans had always been crueler than expected.


    "Is Michael really dead just like that?" I asked softly. Steven remained silent, a conflicting look on his gaze.
