Chapter 622
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 circulation 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.
"They're insane to actually place the laboratory inside the city center-" I whispered.
But I had to admit that Daisy was indeed smart. No one would have guessed that Genome Society's laboratory 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 access 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 planned.
Dayton was a little lovestruck at that moment he was completely 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 plan.
"Daisy's plan 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 genetics are different-"
Did Daisy have the same genetics as well?
"Daisy and Nancy are experimental subjects with the same genetics. They're the second-generation experimental subjects, and you're the third-generation." Steven looked at me worriedly.
"As expected." I nodded. After combining 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 the laboratory.
"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 philanthropists. When Genome Society first entered the Huma market, they claimed to be doing work that was beneficial to humanity combating cancer, genetic diseases, and such. "That was why Miguel had been funding Genome Society. But later on, he discovered their terrifying secret and probably spent a fortune buying out the experimental subjects' lives."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Just like how I was brought to the laboratory 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 place 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 vast network worldwide to amass wealth and conduct experiments that went against humanity and nature. They had already developed many undisclosable secrets in places 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.
