Chapter 688 Full
That was why James' torment and abuse were just a cover for Steven.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"But how long is this going to last?" Ewen felt heartbroken watching him.
Steven shook his head and struggled to get up. His legs were severely burned, with bloodied whip marks covering his calves.
In order to prevent him from escaping, James had him stand on burning coals, took out all his nails, and even slashed his finger pads.
But Steven managed to escape anyway. He limped over to hide in the shadows to look at Stephanie.
She could no longer remember him, but it did not matter as long as she was safe.
Steven resembled a wandering beggar, silently protecting Stephanie in his own way. However, he dared not go close to her, fearing that he might frighten her
"Are you free tomorrow, Michael?" Stephanie asked.
Michael snapped, "How long are you going to keep up this act, Stephanie? Did you lose your memories? Do you think I'd believe in a vicious person like you just because you said you lost your memories?"
Steven watched as the woman he cherished fell for someone else due to her memory loss and emotional emptiness. Yet, the woman he cared for so deeply was now coldly pushed away by someone else.
Several times, he had to suppress the urge to kill Michael. He couldn't expose himself, nor could he touch Michael. That was because he knew that Michael was with Daisy, and Daisy was from Genome Society.
"Please come back with us, Mr. Lincoln." Steven was once again cornered by the Lincoln family's men. He was brought back, where he continued to be tormented. The cycle of him escaping and getting caught continued. "How much longer do you plan to endure, Mr. Lincoln?" Ewan would ask him every single time, wondering when would be the right time.
Yet, Steven continued to remain silent.
Finally, the person he had been waiting for appeared while he was hiding in the orphanage during one of his escapes
It was a teenager who looked no older than 13 or 14. He was covered in blood and looked disheveled as he walked into the orphanage. He saw Steven, who was cowering in a corner and obsessively calculating something
He called out, "Steven, I'm back."
Steven's pen froze in his hand. With red-rimmed eyes, he stared intensely at the teenager.
Simeon-the person he had been waiting for-was finally here.
When Steven managed to crack the key to reincarnation, he knew at once that Simeon, who was so intelligent, would've long since found out about it.
As expected, Simon had reincarnated and come back.
His return reassured Steven as it meant that the Reincarnation Project had succeeded
He brought Simeon to Genome Society in order to prove that his theory of reincarnation was real and that immortality was achievable. He wanted to garner their attention.
However, the project was temporarily labeled as dubious as there were no other successful experiments.
But it didn't matter as Steven had already achieved his goal. Crowdstar Group was founded by Simeon and him.
In just a few years, two absolute geniuses had brought Crowdstar Group to the pinnacle of capitalism. In order to defeat the rich and powerful, they could only be more powerful than them and let the cycle continue-such was the operating principle of the world.
