Chapter 586
When the cruise finally docked, the group of us who were injured were all sent to a local hospital.
Steven and I were carried in on stretchers with our respective broken legs suspended in the air. Fortunately, everyone in our group was alive. Our injuries were manageable as well.
Eason and Zion both suffered from some external injuries while Joel was unscathed. As she had received emergency treatment from the best doctor onboard the cruise, Rachel had also gotten a lot better.
As for Steven's hand, the doctors at the hospital all marveled at how successful and well-done the surgical procedure had been.
The cruise had the best scientists and doctors from around the world. However, they chose to perform heinous acts instead of using their skills for the greater good.
"Did anyone find Dayton yet? Any news?" I asked Zion as he entered the room.
"The Rebels took him away. The ones who want to locate them the most should be Genome Society. I'm sure there'll be news about it soon." Zion assumed that the organization would do everything in their power to rescue Dayton.
Not to our surprise, Eason soon returned with updates. Remains of a lifeboat were spotted near the Crimson Sea. Dayton had been rescued by local armed forces. They had already made plans to bring him back to the country.
"Did the Rebels just leave him like that after going through all that trouble?" I was slightly skeptical about the whole ordeal. It all seemed too easy.
The Rebels gathered thousands of people onboard a cruise and hosted a large-scale game of death. They orchestrated the entire thing only to kidnap Dayton Sacco a mere president-in the end.
I had a nagging feeling that they were leading Genome Society on. By intentionally letting them rescue him, the organization would put their complete trust in Dayton.
Subsequently, he would have the authority to get in contact with the person in charge of the entire organization.
I was stunned by my own train of thought.
I instinctively looked toward Steven. He was seated on the bed and playing chess with the two children.
The pair were incredibly smart. However, despite working together, they only managed to even out the match against their father. The game had been going on for quite some time, but it was still unclear who would come out on top.
"Playing chess in a trio is disrespectful to the game," Rachel blurted resignedly while munching on an apple.
I stared at Steven in silence.
Was Dayton really the president of Crowdstar Group?
Aside from myself, everyone probably believed that he was including Genome Society.
Even someone as proud as Jimmy believed it.
"I never would've imagined. How did someone as reserved as Dayton bring Crowdstar Group to such heights within a matter of years? There's truly a difference between geniuses and the common folk."
Zion slumped tiredly onto the couch before continuing, "If I were a genius, how many cases do you think I
could solve in a day?"
"If over 20 percent of the population were geniuses, the world would become a very scary place." I looked up at him.
If we let Genome Society continue its activities, biased and prejudiced systems would come into play all around the globe.
Everyone would be sorted into classes. The law wouldn't be fair to all anymore.
Education, medical care, and all other privileges would favor geniuses. They'd take over leadership roles in upper-class societies. Eventually, they'd completely fill up the positions at the top of the hierarchy while common people were stuck below them forever.
