Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )

Chapter 807

"You should head indoors, Xan." Steven tugged at Xan, asking her to go into the living room. Stephanie nodded at her as well.

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

Stephanie glanced at Steven. "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.

Stephanie 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 Stephanie while holding a photo in his hand. Steven 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.

Stephanie'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..." Steven's voice went lower. "I'll go after them and destroy them completely." Over the years, his anger had mostly been tempered by Stephanie, 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 Steven, momentarily intimidated. However, he started to laugh maniacally soon enough.

He stepped back and looked at Steven. "You're just a genetically modified clone subject-not even a first- generation."

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

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

"This brat doesn't show any respect to his elders." Stephanie pushed Steven 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.

Steven felt heartbroken seeing his porcelain vase broken but said nothing when he decided that Stephanie 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 Stephanie and Steven 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," Stephanie 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.
