Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: CHAPTER 409
“You should head indoors, Xan.” Dexter tugged at Xan, asking her to go into the living room. Sophia nodded at her as well.

Although Xan seemed nervous, she obediently returned to the living room and hid behind the door.

Sophia glanced at Dexter. “I’ve called the police and contacted Zion earlier. Eason and Joel are also behind that car, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

He grabbed her hand and said, “We’re not sure what they’re here for yet.”

Xan was right-the car stopped at the entrance of the villa ten minutes later.

Several teenagers came out of the car-three guys and a girl. They looked no older than Ashton and Xan.

Sophia frowned, wondering why some brats had come over.

The teenage boy who had been driving flashed her a smile. “We’re looking for these two, miss. Have you seen them?”

He slowly made his way over to Sophia while holding a photo in his hand. Dexter reached out to pull her behind his back warily.

The boy walked over and showed the photo to them. It was a photo of Ashton and Xan in the laboratory when they were younger.

There was blood all over both of them as they stood in the middle of a pile of corpses, looking indifferent. There was a string of numbers tattooed behind their necks it was the codes of each experimental subject.

Sophia’s expression paled. After she took in Ashton and Xan as her own, she brought them to get their experimental codes removed.

She wanted the two of them to live a happy and ordinary life, forgetting everything about the laboratory and their pasts.

However, someone still came after them and tried to bother their family.

“Considering you’re all still young, I’d ask you to go back where you come from. Tell Genome Society not to touch my son and daughter, otherwise…” Dexter’s voice went lower. “I’ll go after them and destroy them completely.” Over the years, his anger had mostly been tempered by Sophia, Ashton, Xan, and his colleagues in the laboratory. However, he was still rather intimidating when it came to his children’s safety.

The teenage boy stared at Dexter, momentarily intimidated. However, he started to laugh maniacally soon enough.

He stepped back and looked at Dexter. “You’re just a genetically modified clone subject-not even a first- generation.”

His gaze darkened as he swiftly pulled a gun out at Dexter.

Xan anxiously ran out of the house, yet the boy was too quick.

“This brat doesn’t show any respect to his elders.” Sophia pushed Dexter aside and kicked the boy away. “He’s even using a gun here.”

She chuckled coldly. Before she could do anything, Xan lifted the family’s most valuable piece—an antique porcelain vase-and smashed it onto the boy’s head.

Dexter felt heartbroken seeing his porcelain vase broken but said nothing when he decided that Sophia and Xan were more important.

However, the teenage boy was unharmed despite having a vase smashed into his head. He flashed Xan a smile and said, “We meet again, 1345X.”

She looked at him warily. The other teenage boys who came with him were merely watching from the side, as if

they weren’t planning to take any action.

“Where’s Ashton?” the boy asked as he stood up. He was here for Ashton and almost disregarded Xan completely.” Without him…”

They assumed that Xan wouldn’t have survived until now without Ashton.

Both Sophia and Dexter were aware that Xan was the experimental subject sought after by Genome Society, but they couldn’t expose her.

“Listen to me, Xan. Go back to the living room,” Sophia whispered, wanting to calm her down.

Xan was breathing rapidly, her chest heaving noticeably. She was clenching her hands tightly as her emotions teetered on the edge of spiraling out of control.

“Mom and Dad are fine, Xan. Listen to me, these brats aren’t a big deal to the both of us,” Dexter softly comforted Xan as he pulled her over. “Be good.”

They absolutely couldn’t expose Xan.

“What are you doing? Am I invisible to you, you brats?” Joel said, jumping out of the car.

The teenage boys all looked at him with disdainful smiles. To them, Joel and Dexter were the same-they were both clone subjects unworthy of their attention.

Clone subjects were just like white mice-they were the most worthless things in Genome Society’s laboratory.

On the other hand, they believed themselves superior, being products of first-generation evolution experiments. Eason frowned. He got out of the car with his gun and looked at the teenage boys. “I noticed something fishy about you guys when we were still at the foot of the mountain. You even dare to shoot now? I’m bringing you all back to the police station with me!”

Sirens could be heard from afar, and Zion was leading the other officers over.

“We’re only here to remind you today. We’re responsible for bringing those who betrayed Genome Society back.” The boy tossed the photo of Ashton and Xan over, embedding it directly into the wooden door frame.

It was evident that he was extremely strong.

The boy eyed Sophia with a smile before saying, “You’d better tell your son to be careful, miss.”

He then arrogantly made a throat-slitting move. The teenage boys jumped into their car and rammed into Eason’s old car before driving off arrogantly.

As they were all teenagers, Eason couldn’t hurt them and only fired a warning shot. He looked at his wrecked car and cursed, “I have no choice but to change my car now!”

The police cars hit the brakes immediately in hopes of intercepting them, yet the teenager’s driving skills were as flashy as those in the movies. The teens completely disregarded them.

“Fuck!” Joel cursed, frowning as he watched the car speed down the winding road. “Are those lunatics after Ashton and Xan?”

“They’re after Ashton,” Dexter said, clenching his fists.

They figured that Ashton’s obvious show of talent had caught the eye of Genome Society. Meanwhile, they deemed Xan-who was autistic and had lived in her own world since young-as a defect.

Those people were here to catch Ashton this time.

They came over to the villa not only to warn Sophia and Dexter. It was also to remind Ashton-who was currently away that Genome Society had had their eyes on his family now.

Regardless of where he escaped to, they would definitely catch him.

The reason why Sophia had suddenly agreed to let Ashton go overseas was also to protect him.

With him being targeted, it was a matter of time before he was captured by the leader of the evolution experiment. Instead of letting that happen, it would be better for Ashton to head overseas to collaborate with the leader of the Ulophia branch. That way, he could slowly integrate with them.

That way, those from the evolution laboratory would have to think twice even if they wanted to take him away. Or maybe it would turn into a dog-eat-dog situation within Genome Society.

The interest-oriented faction headed by Andy and the leaders from the other regions primarily focused on experiments related to immortality and reincarnation.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind the evolution experiment was nothing short of the “lunatic” in Genome

Society. Their only focus was human evolution-forced evolution.

In the eyes of these lunatics, if humans weren’t forced to evolve, they would soon be eliminated by nature.

The increasingly harsh living environment would eliminate most of the weak, leaving only the select few worthy of pursuing “immortality”. Otherwise, it would be pointless even if they had the technology to reincarnate and achieve immortality.

As such, evolution was a cruel experiment these lunatics had to force through. It also meant that there would be no escape for Xan and Ashton.

However, they wouldn’t be alone in facing the danger this time-they had Dexter, Sophia, Joel, Eason, Zion, Damien, and the others with them.
