Chapter 480 Caleb was itching to get into the fold, and to do that, he needed the bigwigs' nod - their interest, specifically. His pitch? The Rebirth Experiment, with a twist - he was using Carter's clone, or as we now know him, Bran." Naomi shared, her tone as casual as if she were discussing the weather.
It seemed she couldn't care less about spilling these beans to- after all, she had no plans of lettingwalk free.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI gasped at the revelation... Bran was Carter's clone.
The so-called secret of rebirth must be tied to cloning and gics, right? "Caleb was a gift to the Langley family from the organization years ago, a product of gic enhancements using Ethan's DNA. They tweaked him to perfection - intelligence, strength, looks - making him a rare breed of man- made genius," Naomi said, her voice dripping with a hint of disdain.
Obviously, she wasn't too impressed with the idea of gically edited prodigies.
"But Carter was different. He was a natural-born genius. The organization's interest in him spiked because of Caleb - one, a carefully engineered marvel; the other, untouched by gic manipulations. Carter's mere existence quickly caught the organization's eye..." "They used a health check at the orphanage as a pretext to extract living cells from Carter when he first started showing signs of genius - just a seven or eight-year-old kid at the time." "Carter's clone has been cooped up in the organization's lab ever since, never seeing the outside world, until three years ago when Caleb joined the ranks, claiming he could prove the existence of soul rebirth. He used Carter, who had just passed away, and his clone, Bran, in a soul transmigration experiment." "The experiment was a shocker for many moguls, though skeptics remained. After all, it was a singular case, and with the clone mimicking the original's memories, it was hard for outsiders to spot the fake. It was like an unverifiable magic trick - no one knew if Bran was truly Carter reborn or just an actor with Carter's memories..." Naomi looked at me, her gaze deep. "But your presence, Phoebe, shocked the moguls anew. They're willing to pay top dollar to 'acquire you, aiming to publicly study and test you to prove if you're a true rebirth or just... a memory match." I couldn't help but smile, understanding why... Matthew had said I was currently the most valuable test subject. "As for Ethan's demise, being a leading mogul of Sea City and daring to oppose the organization, he had to be eliminated. If he had swayed the others, it would have spelled doom for the organization... Ethan's death was inevitable." "And Phoebe's parents, scientists groomed by the organization, foolishly grew attached to a test subject with no real blood ties to them, plotting to protect and escape with the subject. The organization couldn't tolerate such treachery." Naomi's voice grew somber, her gaze onmore intense. "Escaping the organization was nearly impossible for your parents, but they had an ally - Damian... Your parents always wanted you to live a normal life as part of their plan to break away from the organization, and Damian, under the guise of conducting experiments, has been assisting you and your parents..." It's ironic... Damian wasn't harming me...
"Unfortunately, their resistance against the organization was futile." Naomi laughed mpokingly, calling Ethan and the others fools, but within that mockery, I sensed a different kind of bitterness. Naomi... she must have had special feelings for someone among Ethan, Damian, or my parents.
