Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 441

Steven looked at me.

"Stephie, do you wish it was me?"

"No."

I shook my head.

Regardless of the final goal, the methods were too extreme.

For somebody to use such methods to hurt others to achieve their goals… I didn't think that person would be somebody "good".

Steven held my hand and brought me to hide behind a truck. We took off the hazmat suits.

"If you don't want it to be me, then it won't be me."

I looked at him in confusion.

"And if I wished it was you?"

"Then I'll find the mastermind and replace him, becoming the person you want me to be," Steven answered seriously.

I smiled. He looked a little silly for how seriously he was taking it.

But he also intelligently answered my question.

Eason said Steven had IQ but no EQ. But in my opinion… Steven had a terrifyingly high IQ and EQ.

He just… used his IQ on others and all his EQ on me.

I sighed and walked up to him, giving him a back hug.

Exhausted, I said, "I'm so tired. Piggyback me."

Steven piggybacked me with a smile and took us out of that place.

"Sir."

I wasn't sure how long it took, but I fell asleep on Steven. When I woke up, Ewan had arrived along with many other people. He must've known that we weren't safe.

Shocked, I asked Steven, "How did Ewan get here so quickly?"

"Since Mr. Lincoln has been missing for days, I came here to look for the both of you because this was where his GPS location last appeared," explained Ewan.

"Are Joel and the rest… okay?"

I felt exhausted.

My adrenaline had kept me going in the killing game inside the ruined building.

I had a hard fall on the staircase too. I was hungry and sleepy. My body felt exceptionally tired.

"Where's Zion and the rest?"

I patted Rachel on the back.

"Zion reported himself back to the police station. This case alerted the higher-ups, so everyone's really concerned about the case…" Rachel said softly.

She seemed hesitant.

"I can't tell you too much. But you get it, right? The major higher-ups were alerted!"

I paused.

I understood what she meant. The mastermind had intended for it to attract a lot of public attention. But in case it caused public panic, it hadn't been publicized yet…

The authorities would certainly interfere with the case.

And Genome Society must be in a panic now.

"Was I… asleep for a long time?"

I asked Steven, who immediately stood up to block Michael.

"It's been half a month…" Michael answered hurriedly, looking worried about me.
