Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 449



"It's time to head out," Eric announced, wrapping up the call that had summoned us.

"You guys go on ahead. I won't be discharged until tomorrow. Robin should be able to pick me up," Stella waved at me, pulling me into a hug. "Go home and rest. Try not to worry about anything."

I nodded, following Colin numbly.

Colin noticed my concern and whispered, "Stella's gic test came back clear. She's just incredibly lucky."

Relief washed over me as I looked at him. "That's a relief..."

Rubbing my temples, I realized just how stressed I'd become.

Even a simple visit to the doctor had me suspecting foul play.

"Don't worry, you've got me," Colin soothed in a low voice.

"This Matthew..." I wanted to know more about him and what he meant by collaboration.

"He sought me out at the orphanage three years ago, knew I was playing dumb," Colin said, holding my hand as we entered the elevator. "He's dangerous. I could tell the moment I laid eyes on him. He showed me incriminating evidence and facts about the Gene-Forge Collective, explaining how the elite had been dabbling in gic modifications over twenty years ago... The rich began secretly experimenting with gene editing, using their sperm, top-quality eggs, and surrogates to create offspring with superior intelligence, ensuring their industries and dynasties would thrive."

Where there's capital, there's sin.

That much has always been true.

"But gene editing is a controversial topic. While scientists and researchers have validated and experimented with the concept on animals, such anti- humanitarian acts are banned worldwide. This led to the emergence of a sinister group, conducting experiments on humans in secret. These individuals are known as... test subjects."

Clearly, both Foebe and I were among those test subjects, with potentially many more like us worldwide.

"To keep the wealthy invested and trusting in their research, these test subjects were placed in ordinary wombs to be born, grow, and live. Special operatives would then monitor every significant action of the test subjects in society, noting their superior intellect, sharpness, and physical prowess, whether in sports, finance, research, or any other field, vastly outperforming their peers."

"With these successful experiment data, more capital and interest from

Clearly, Colin was one such gically modified individual.

They didn't even regard these gically modified children as their own, treating them more like toys or dolls.

Such is the horror of human nature.

And Foebe and I, we were part of an experiment, fully optimized test subjects.

as he looked at me.

I knew we were merely sacrifices of our era, stepping stones for what's called scientific progress.

Their 'progress' wasn't instantaneous but built over years of continuous experiments, observations, and accumulated data.

Should gene modification become a global trend and be legalized, we were destined to be mere stepping stones in the flow of history.

And rebels, they were fighting against this organization.

Battling against formidable capital...

It felt suffocating and daunting just to think about it.

"Matthew, he's also a product of gene editing, a high-intellect individual created behind Brendan's back by Henry."
