Chapter 788
It would only be the beginning of a new wave of evil when that happened. The sacrifices made by Steven, Stephanie, and countless others would end up meaningless.
"I have the same thoughts as you. What I want to destroy is the main hive where the queen resides. There's no way of stopping their regeneration just by cutting off their limbs." No. 9 looked at Stephanie, hoping that she would trust him.
However, she did not trust him. "We'll just leave the rest to those who come after us-they'll also need time to regenerate. I just need to clean up Genome Society in the Othard region and live my life peacefully."
Stephanie had lost her initial ambition of completely destroying Genome Society's hive after her experience. Now, she only wanted to live a simple, peaceful life with Steven. As for what would happen next, she would leave them to others.
"Do you think you can live peacefully without me?" No. 9 chuckled coldly, holding onto a hard drive that appeared out of nowhere.
"Andy has already uploaded all your files and information to the hive network, and it'll send all your data directly to the queen. She'll never allow any threats to Genome Society to exist. Both of you will surely be killed."
No. 9 looked at Steven and said, "You have no choice. Only by letting me take over Genome Society can you truly live in peace."
Steven looked back at No. 9, whose face was just like a reflection of his. "What do you want to do?"
No. 9 replied, "I'll send you back to Huma. From now on, just consider that Genome Society has fallen. I'll stay away from your lives and won't do anything evil anymore. I'll also help hold off the headquarters of Genome Society and make sure the queen doesn't set any extermination orders on you."
It sounded extremely tempting for someone else to bear the burden and ensure Steven and Stephanie have stable lives-but would he truly be that selfless?
"I'm willing to exchange my body with yours." No. 9 smiled, looking at Steven.
Steven was currently using Andy's body, after all. Only by exchanging bodies could they each obtain what they wanted.
No. 9 would then become the new "Andy" and continue to keep in contact with the queen of Genome Society.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Stephanie glanced at Steven with a frown. The proposal was truly tempting to her.
After exchanging bodies, No. 9 would continue his life as Andy. Steven would be able to return as himself and live a normal married life with her.
No. 9 said, "All of Genome Society's laboratories in the country have already been discovered and eliminated, and the Rebels are nearly wiped out.
"Everything has come to an end, and I can no longer establish myself in Huma. I pose no threat for the time being, and I wouldn't do something as foolish as Andy had."
He continued, "Working together is the only way to mutually benefit from this."
No. 9 was trying to convince Stephanie and Steven.
From behind, Steven slowly tightened his arms around Stephanie as he said, "Let's trust him this once, okay, Stephie?"
"We'll kill him if he ends up threatening our interests," she said as she coldly looked at No. 9.
No. 9 smiled as he opened his arms. "I'll always lay my vulnerabilities bare before both of you."
Stephanie was already familiar with the experiment of soul-swapping between twins. The success rate was very high as long as both parties agreed to it.
Steven was reincarnated in No. 9's body after the experiment. He looked at his face and his perfectly fitting body, yet something still felt off.
No. 9 was reincarnated into Andy's body. He flashed them a smile and said, "Here's to a smooth partnership." Stephanie took Steven's hand and brought him out.
"Boss!" The mercenary leader stopped both of them outside the door.
"Andy" smiled at him and said, "Let them leave."
It had to be said that No. 9 was the person who understood Andy the best in this world. He even mimicked Andy's microexpressions perfectly.
Jimmy chose to stay and collaborate with No. 9 to take on Genome Society.
Stephanie also thought that it was a good decision. While she did not fully understand or trust No. 9, she knew enough about and trusted Jimmy.
He was ambitious, yet he was timid and feared death. He would definitely let Steven and her know right away if No. 9 ever posed a threat to his life.
