I looked at the man warily, laughing out in surprise.
He walked over and smiled at me. "Must we go to such lengths?"
"Have you been faking your death all along?" I looked at him and burst out laughing once again.
I couldn't believe that it was actually Andy.
They were all such great actors. I thought Joel's acting skills were impressive enough for him to try out in the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect Andy to be even better.
He faked his death and went into hiding for years. What a clever method!
Indeed, it would be the safest for the leader of Genome Society to be officially dead.
I finally understood why Andy had to die back then. It was probably the time he officially took over Genome Society. That was why he needed to "die".
Joel was also looking at him warily. "You're playing quite a big game here, Andy."
"Don't be impulsive, young man," Andy said with a smile as he gestured for Joel to put the syringe down.
He hardly seemed any different over the years. He looked almost the same as he did when he "died". It seemed like Genome Society even knew how to keep people looking youthful.
"Don't you have anything to say to Steven, Andy?" Joel frowned at Andy before turning to look at Steven with a pained look.
Steven was the least surprised among the three of us, indicating that he must've figured it out earlier. However, he must have been the most saddened one.
He tightly gripped his wheelchair before turning around to look at Andy. He remained silent as he couldn't bring himself to call out to his "father".
"Now that I'm here in front of you, I hope that you'll seriously consider joining us," Andy said, looking at Steven. You're a smart child, Steven. You should understand why I'm doing all this."
Steven said nothing as he stared at Andy with reddening eyes. All this while, he was only Andy's proof of allegiance to Genome Society.
Andy must have sacrificed a lot over the years in order to become the leader of Genome Society.
"Let me take a guess on how you managed to become the leader of Genome Society," I said, looking at him. I then walked over to shield in front of Steven.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
I said, "Back then, Genome Society wasn't under your control yet. You were the heir of the Lincoln Group, so they wanted to win you over. They introduced you to the vast ocean of sin that was Genome Society.
"To you, they weren't evil but endless profit. You were dazzled by the opportunities and realized how narrow your perspective was. Genome Society broadened your horizons, and at the same time, they led you into the world of corruption and desire."
Everything escalated from then onward.
I continued, "For Genome Society, proof of allegiance is the first step to accepting scions. Just like those who hunted young women in the desolate area back then, they would present various conditions, forcing you to shoulder a lifetime of guilt."
I looked at Joel. "Just like how Sarah had asked Joel to kill that experimental subject."
Only with proof of allegiance would Genome Society feel secure enough to let Andy join them.
