Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 306

Chapter 306: CHAPTER 306 Chapter 306: CHAPTER 306 “Do you still remember me, Dexter?

I’m Logan Cooper.” The man who hit their car ignored Eason and greeted Dexter instead.

Or rather, he seemed to look down on Eason.

Eason’s fists balled up as he stood unmoving, seemingly down in the dumps.

Someone as cocky and sassy as him was now allowing someone else to act insolently before him?

“How disgusting.

Even the air has turned disgusting” he mumbled.

He then took out an alcohol wipe and cleaned his hands repeatedly before putting on his gloves.

I paused to observe Eason for a moment-he did have germaphobia.

He was also aloof back when I first met him.

He had to put his gloves on no matter where he went.

At first, I even thought something was wrong with his hands.

Perhaps he had burns or something of the like.

I later found out that it was merely his germaphobia.

But at some point, Eason no longer acted cocky and wore his gloves less often.

Today was rather unusual for him.

“Dexter?” Logan called out persistently when he saw that Dexter was ignoring him.

Dexter replied indifferently, “I don’t remember you.” Logan’s expression faltered slightly.

He then said with a smile, “It’s only normal that you don’t.

You’re a great genius, after all.

How could you possibly remember normies like us?

Am I right, Hudson?” He then reached out to pat Eason on the shoulders.

“Don’t touch me!” Eason lost control of his emotions and instinctively reached for the gun in Zion’s hand.

Zion was alarmed by his action.

As a police officer with an assigned gun, he couldn’t let anyone casually take it away-not even a colleague.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged out of the way.

Logan chuckled as he looked at Eason.

“Who would’ve thought?

You missed the advanced class reunion a few days ago.

I only heard that you had become a police officer then.” Eason remained silent, as if he was enduring it.

After observing him for a good while, I figured that he probably had a story of his own.

“Come with us for the investigation,” Zion said angrily as he pressed Logan against the car.

Logan was cooperative as he got into the car with a smile.

He looked meaningfully at Dexter.

“There weren’t too many who attended the advanced class gathering this time.

There’ll be another one coming up in a few days’ time.

All of you should attend it, okay?” He spoke loudly.

Eason watched as Zion brought Logan away.

He then started muttering in a deep voice, as if talking to himself.

But at the same time, it seemed like he was also talking to us.

He said, “Actually, I had a thought when the serial murder cases started.

I wondered if Simeon was the murderer.

But I realized that it wasn’t him later on.” “What?” I asked.

Eason continued, “It’s impossible that Simeon would give up on toying with me if he were still alive and was the murderer.

He would’ve killed all these scums as well.” He seemed to be in pain.

As a police officer, he struggled between justice and evil.

They said that a person’s nature would either keep them sane or lead them astray.

“Logan’s appearance definitely isn’t just a coincidence,” Dexter said, voice low and frowning.

There had to be a purpose behind Logan’s appearance, be it Genome Society or the Rebels.

“He seems to be targeting you,” I reminded Dexter to be careful.

He shook his head and looked at Eason.

“It seemed like he was targeting me.

But in reality, he had been provoking Eason all along, intentionally or otherwise.” “But Eason isn’t related to Genome Society,” I said rather curiously.

I watched as he got into the car dazedly.

Only then did I continue, “Surely, Logan appeared with a purpose.

Why would he want to provoke an outsider like Eason?” “Perhaps he has other ulterior motives,” Dexter said meaningfully.

He then took my hand and got into the car.

I paused for a moment.

Suddenly, I realized something.

He might have been targeting Simeon by targeting Eason.

Joel was considered the only successful experimental subject in Dexter’s Reincarnation Project.

But many believed that he was a fake who was pretending.

They thought he was merely a recipient of a memory transplant.

It was especially so for Mrs.

Coleman, who was overly eager to prove the authenticity of the Reincarnation Project.

So, this whole thing was targeted at Joel.

They were planning to conduct some sort of experiment in order to prove that Joel was actually Simeon.

Was it something like an emotional experiment?

Just like how they used me to test Dexter.

And just like how they used Dexter’s feelings toward me to determine that I was indeed Sophia Milford.

“But that’s not it.

The reason why the emotional experiment was valuable and meaningful is because you love me.

Does it work the same way with hatred as well?” I asked, intrigued by it.

Joel and Eason were sworn enemies, and they were both men.

“Aren’t they sworn enemies?” Dexter coughed before stammering, “Your cognitive world may not comprehend it, but feelings…

aren’t about soul connection.

They’re also unrelated to gender.” I was rather confused.

It was indeed in my cognitive blind spot.

“I would still love you if…

you were to reincarnate in a man’s body.” Dexter’s ears turned red.

I parted my mouth slightly, unable to react all of a sudden.

After following Dexter into the car, I watched the way Eason was driving distractedly.

“Um, it might be dangerous for him to drive now” Eason hit the gas and sped away before I could even finish my sentence.

I experienced the terrifying sensation of a roller coaster for the first time.

My survival instinct kicked in as Thugged Dexter tight.

“Life’s still worth living, Eason!” Eason suddenly jerked the steering wheel hard.

He had gone mad!

“You shouldn’t behave like this, Officer Grant!

Let’s talk it out-“I hugged Dexter tight and mumbled,” What’s got into him now?” “I don’t know.” Dexter was considerably calmer than I was.

Eason sped away throughout the journey, forcefully completing a 30-minute journey in under 20 minutes.

I took a deep breath and got out of the car.

I then whispered to Dexter, “Do police officers not get fined for speeding?” “They do,” Dexter answered me seriously.

I noticed that something wasn’t right with the way Eason was acting.

“Is he going to be fine walking away like this?” Dexter took out his phone and called Joel.

“Eason has gone mad.” “I’m taking an exam here!” Joel seemed to be in the middle of a placement exam.

It was almost time for his college entrance exam soon.

“He bumped into Logan Cooper from the advanced class today,” Dexter added.

Joel fell silent on the other end of the call.

I heard him turning in his paper early shortly after.

“These questions are too easy, sir.

I’m totally wasting my time and life here.

I’ll take my leave now.

It’s super urgent!” He then ended the call soon after.

Dexter and I both looked at each other.

“How did you find out that Joel was actually Simeon?” I was curious about Dexter and Simeon’s story.

Back then, Simon was burned to death trying to protect Dexter.

It must have been a painful way for him to die.

How did Dexter recognize that Joel was actually Simeon at first glance, then?

“His attention-seeking behavior and neuroticism are irreplaceable.

It’s just like how Al can never replace humans.” The way Dexter had said it sounded deep.

To put it simply, he was calling Simeon a neurotic attention seeker who can’t be impersonated.

“Besides, he was the one who escaped and found me.” Dexter looked at me and started telling me about Simeon and his story.

“Back then, during the fire…

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to escape…

It wasn’t because of…

my selfishness that caused Simeon to die.

It wasn’t that-“Dexter lowered his head as he recalled the horrifying memories of his past.

I held his hands tightly, signaling for him not to be afraid.

They were all in the past now.

Many had misunderstood Dexter after that incident.

They believed that he was too stubborn and refused to leave the orphanage.

They believed that it was because he refused to leave that room that he ended up being burned, even causing Simeon’s death.

Yet, only Simeon and Dexter knew what the actual truth was.
