Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 389

Chapter 389: CHAPTER 389 Chapter 389: CHAPTER 389 Judging from Genome Society’s abilities and status, it was evident that the Othard region had less influence as compared to the leaders of other regions.

That was why someone as power-hungry as Andy was eagerly seeking more benefits and value.

He wanted to use the key to reincarnation to elevate himself above everyone else.

“Gabriel asked me to get all of you out,” Damien whispered.

He was planning to secretly key in the password and release us from the lab capsule while everyone else was distracted.

“Do you know the password?” I asked.

He shook his head and replied, “I can only take a guess.” Damien was taking a gamble that the password was the same as the ones in the other lab capsules.

“Even if you managed to temporarily get the people in the control room to leave, the entire laboratory will be alerted as soon as you key in the wrong password.” Damien started to panic.

“798413,” I said cautiously.

“How do you know the password?” Damien asked.

“Key that in first,” I said, nervously looking around.

Damien nodded in a hurry and keyed in the password from the outside.

The hatch was finally opened.

I pushed Dexter out, but he stopped my hand.

“Sophia, you and Joel should leave with them.

I’ll only be a burden if you bring me along.” He spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes reddening.

I felt my chest tightened before giving him a hard slap.

“Are you going to say such things again?” A red handprint instantly flushed up on Dexter’s pale skin.

The slap stunned both Joel and Damien.

Aggrieved, Dexter hung his head low and said nothing.

“Are you going to behave now?” I scolded with a frown as I pushed him out.

Damien led us through an empty hallway.

“Gabriel’s men have distracted those in the control room.

With so many visitors today, he’s keeping Andy occupied while our boat is waiting for us outside,” he explained.

I nodded and looked around cautiously.

After passing through a hallway, Dexter lifted his hand up and gestured for us to stop.

Upon hearing footsteps, I quickly brought him and the others to hide in a laboratory.

We only came out once the people dressed in hazmat suits were gone.

“Those from Genome Society are mostly touring around with Andy.

We have to hurry.” Damien helped me to push Dexter as we hurried to the exit.

However, we were eventually discovered.

“Stop right there!” Even though Joel knocked him out right away, he still managed to hit the alarm.

The sirens echoed throughout the entire laboratory.

“Run!” Joel shouted at us.

“Take Sophia and go, Joel,” Dexter softly said to him.

“I’m the only one who can stop them.” “If we have to be turned into fish food, then so be it.

We’ll just die together!

Stop squawking!

“Joel, who was usually meek in front of Dexter, finally scolded him in return.

I cautiously looked around and opened the fire hydrant.

I then took out the ax and smashed the control panel.

The hatch of the lab capsule lost control and slammed shut.

“Run!” Damien led us through the corridor and met up with our contact before the others could catch up with us.

When Andy and Sarah finally rushed over, our boat had gradually left the laboratory.

As we sped away, I gave Andy, who was standing at the entrance, the finger.

Police sirens blared as we left.

I turned to Damien.

“Did you call the police?” He nodded.

“I have Eason’s tracking chip on me.

Even though we’re at the high seas, the police are determined to capture them this time.” Leaning against the boat, I smiled at Dexter.

“We’ve won, Dexter.” At least Damien did not disappoint us this time.

“This was Dexter’s plan-to throw himself into a deadlock.

He thought he could trade his life for the downfall of Genome Society, but you became the variable,” he said, looking at me.

This was his and Dexter’s original plan.

They wanted me to continue living well, while they handled dangerous work like this.

Tears pooled around my eyes as I looked at Dexter.

“Do you think you could escape unscathed if it wasn’t for me?” He merely smiled and said, “You’re the smartest, Sophia.” It should have been something worth getting excited for, but for some reason, I felt as if Dexter was hiding something from me.

“Are you hiding something from me?” My voice trembled as I asked, suddenly feeling nervous.

Dexter said, “Genome Society won’t be wiped out just like this.

We’ve been on the island for some time now.

Surely, you would’ve noticed it.

Other than the experimental subject Joel was asked to dispose of, there’s nothing illegal going around.” “All the clone subjects are their own people, and the remaining people are renowned doctors and biologists from around the world.” His voice trembled as he continued, “Even if the police find this place, there’s nothing they can do, Sophia.

This is a private island bought by Andy a long time ago.” Dexter suddenly coughed out blood mid-sentence.

Joel and I started panicking.

I anxiously crouched in front of Dexter, my fingers trembling.” Dexter…

Dexter!” “I really want to leave with you, Sophia.

I want to enjoy our time together until death do us part,” he said weakly.

I noticed the dark veins on his neck.

I tensed up and yelled at Damien in a panic, “Stop the boat now!” What did those bastards put into Dexter’s body this time?

“What is it?” I cupped his face with trembling hands, carefully wiping the blood away from the corner of his lips.

“There’s a microbomb near my heart.

My heartbeat will be restricted if I leave the base,” Dexter whispered.

He then cupped my face and said, “I really want you to live well, Sophia.” He was crying as he told me to live well.

“Take us back!

We’re not leaving anymore.

Take us back!” I cried, turning back to plead with Damien to send us back.

We wouldn’t leave, then.

It didn’t matter if we were trapped there.

I didn’t want Dexter to die.

“Sophia.” He took a deep breath, forcing me to keep calm.

“We can’t go back, Sophia.” “Turn back!” I yelled at Damien, who looked at Dexter with a troubled expression.

“Can we still save you?” Joel asked in a choked sob.

Dexter smiled as he pulled me into his embrace.

“Take care of Sophia for me, Joel.” “I’d thank you if she doesn’t kill us in return for letting you die,” Joel choked out.

Resigned, Dexter patted my head and said, “We can’t let them have the data for reincarnation, Sophia.

They won’t give up unless I die.” Even though the police had gone over, they wouldn’t find any evidence there.

“Leave with the boat.

They’ll come after you soon.” Dexter knew that Andy wouldn’t let him go.

As expected, his boat was just nearby.

“I’ll kill them,” I said while trembling.

I clutched the ax as I stared at the boat that was after us.

“Sophia!” Dexter grabbed my wrist.

He slowly stood up with Joel’s help.

He shielded me and stared at Andy and Sarah, who were on the opposite boat.

“If I die, nobody else will have the knowledge of the key to reincarnation anymore.

Your plan is ruined, Andy.

You’ve already abandoned Genome Society’s laboratories in this country.

You have nothing left other than this island.” This was a risky bet.

Andy would have nothing left if Dexter died.

Andy was clearly panicking.

“Are you going to watch him die just like that?

Send him over.

He doesn’t have to die if he goes back!”
