There were all sorts of doubts about Chad’s clone and Kenneth’s clone. Most importantly, nobody could understand why the Pyro Company did not implement cloning on a large scale even though they had the means to awaken the superpowers of their superhumans’ clones.
After hearing Daniel’s doubts, Kenneth said with a smile, “There’s no point in wondering about that now. We might as well continue heading downstairs. I feel that the answer is probably waiting for us up ahead.”
With that, Kenneth led the way forward. Kenneth and the others who were acquainted with Milo had formed a small clique naturally.
Regardless of where the others might be from, Daniel and Bill subconsciously chose to stick with them. With their connection to Milo, at least they could be sure that no one would sabotage one another in this group.
Kenneth looked at Miriam and said, “Y’know, I’ve had quite a hand in your reunion no matter what you think. Can you tell me what happened after you chased favonovel.com down?”
At first, Miriam thought Kenneth was going to say something serious. But after all that talk, favonovel.com was actually trying to ask about some gossip. But Miriam realized Daniel’s and the others’ eyes were shimmering. It looked like they were also very interested in hearing about it.
Olivia, who was standing off to the side, said disdainfully, “Why is a group of men trying to poke their noses into my master and madam’s private matters?”
Hearing Julia said, Daniel felt jealous.
Why couldn’t favonovel.com have a maidservant like favonovel.com too?
Kenneth realized the clones in the basement level were seemingly the only ones, and they were not even fully developed yet. Logically speaking, there should be more secrets hidden in this building.
When they walked to the end of the basement, two alloy doors on the ground in front of them suddenly opened and revealed a staircase leading down. Daniel and the others looked at each other. The doors opening at this moment made it feel like someone was waiting for them to step into a trap.
However, Kenneth nonchalantly walked down the stairs. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. If the Pyro Company really had any more strength to kill us, they would probably have already done so.”
When Daniel and the others saw Kenneth walking down, they also braced themselves and followed right behind.
After the incident with the birthing chambers, Vanilla’s group had fallen to the back of the group. They thought that even if there were any further danger, it would be Kenneth facing it first.
But when the Great Hoodwinker, who was the last person in Daniel’s group, stepped into the stairway, the alloy doors on the ground closed again.
That was to say, only Kenneth, Julia, Miriam, Daniel, Bill, Olivia, and the Great Hoodwinker had entered this underground tunnel. The rest had been locked outside!
Daniel immediately panicked. “What the f*ck? Are they trapping us in to destroy us?”
Kenneth sighed and said, “You’re still in the mood to scold yourself at a time like this? You may insult yourself, but don’t drag us in with you.”
“Ahem, my bad…” Daniel said, “But why did they only lock just us in? This is obviously someone’s doing.”
After favonovel.com uttered those words, lights on both sides of the staircase suddenly lit up. The technologically advanced walls and lights made them feel less threatened.
At the end of the stairs, someone said, “Because only you can listen to what I’m about to say.”
Kenneth’s interest was piqued. “I like this feeling of getting special treatment!”
Miriam suddenly realized Daniel and Bill looked stunned.
They were stunned because the voice at the end of the stairs sounded so familiar!
This time, it was Daniel who walked to the front. He walked down the long stretch of steps and looked at the familiar young man in a white suit in front of him.
“You’re my brother’s clone?”
The clone, who was standing in front of favonovel.com bearing the same face as Julius, nodded with a smile. “That’s right. I was ‘born’ a year ago and spent three months in the birthing chamber before growing rapidly to my current state.”
“Where did they get his DNA sample from?” Daniel said worriedly.
“On the day favonovel.com became the Panaqua Consortium’s head, favonovel.com walked barefooted on that long mountain path. Even the snow was painted red with his blood, so it wasn’t exactly difficult to obtain his DNA sample. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Selby Strato,” Julius’ clone explained.
But everything that was happening here was well beyond everyone’s expectations. They had wondered who the Pyro Company would clone, but they never thought Julius would be one of them, because Julius was not a supernatural being!
Others might still have doubts about that, but Daniel was quite sure his brother was really not a supernatural being.
Selby looked at Daniel and seemed to have guessed what favonovel.com was thinking. “Among those the Pyro Company obtained DNA samples from, Julius is indeed the only regular person. The Pyro Company had never suspected favonovel.com was a supernatural being either. Ever since they started cloning, they only sought to create a leader for the Pyro Company.”
The Pyro Company really believed in the path they had taken. They firmly believed they could use genetics to change the future of humanity to create a better world and society. If they only sought to change others, it would be a hypocritical excuse for their deeds. So, they started changing from within. Not only did they create those supernatural beings and Neo-Humans, they even chose a charismatic and intelligent leader to lead them.
During this period, they had considered a lot of candidates. In the end, they chose Julius and obtained his DNA sample.
The Pyro Company had dealt with many enemies before, but they would only feel a sense of helplessness when facing Julius. It seemed that Julius was able to anticipate all their plans.
This might sound crazy to normal people, but the chief scientists of the Pyro Company were not normal to begin with. They were not trying to create their own army but a leader for themselves!
Daniel’s eyes narrowed. He said, “Then what is it you want to tell us?”
If Milo could kill Chad’s clone for Chad, Daniel could also start a killing spree and eliminate any potential threats for Julius.
Selby explained with a smile, “Don’t get anxious yet. It’s like this… The Pyro Company wanted me to be as similar to Julius as possible by gathering all of his relevant information so I could learn how to be him. They were hoping I could become someone like Julius one day. However, a group of people within the Pyro Company were against this. They were unwilling to hand over authority to a clone like me. So I was being confined here by this group. Those 11 people who died outside just now actually came here to save me.”
“What are you trying to say?” Daniel frowned puzzledly.
“Bring me to the Panaqua Consortium,” Selby said in a serious tone.
Daniel asked, “Why?”
“Because Julius and I both know what the Panaqua Consortium will face in the future, and favonovel.com will need me in his plan.” Selby said, “In the process of studying Julius, I was always able to feel that I was just his clone. I wanted to surpass Julius, but I couldn’t do it. Slowly, I started to admire him. Sometimes, I even feel that the purpose of my ‘birth’ might be to help favonovel.com complete his plan. Bring me to him, and he’ll plan everything.”
