Austin squinted his eyes. His phone was also protected. Logically, unknown numbers shouldnât be able to reach his phone. But now, his phone was ringing. Austin was silent for a moment before picking up the phone and answering the call. A pure British accent sounded on the other end of the line. âYouâre too forward, Austin.â
That voiceâ¦
Austin stood up startled. He swallowed hard and timidly asked, âMr. King?â
The voice on the other end was gravelly, as if straight from hell. It made Austin feel as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water on his head in the middle of summer. âItâs me.â
Austin was quick to say, âMr. King, I donât know what Iâve done to make you call me personally.â
His mind was racing, he was afraid of angering him if he was any slower. âIs it because of that gene serum, do you want it too?â
The other part: ââ¦Beat it.â
Austin: âOkay, I understand. Iâll immediately cancel all flights to New Yorkâ¦. I guarantee I wonât show up in New York!â
âBeep, beep, beepâ¦â
The call ended.
It was then that Austin realized that his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. He looked straight ahead in surprise and muttered to himself in confusion, âMr. King wants the gene serum too? If he wanted the gene serum, he would only have to say so and the other party would have obediently given it to him, wouldnât he? Besides, what would Mr. King need something like that for?â.
Austin was very puzzled, but he didnât dare ask any more questions.
One of his subordinates asked, âShall we go?â
Austin kicked him. âWhat for, do you want to die?â

In the field.
After Ian hung up the phone, he thought for a while and finally called Joel. He asked him to send all the people from the Smithâs underworld forces to protect Nora in the hospital.
After talking to Joel, Ian was silent for a while, but he remained worried.
Austin was too scary. He was the worst at keeping his promises. Plus, he was ruthless. Ian feared that the Smiths would not be able to withstand his attacks.
At that critical moment, Ian put aside his prejudice against Justin and called him.
Justin quickly answered. âMr. Smith, what is it?â
Ian coughed. âYou must have seen the posting on the foreign forum by now, right? Austin is coming to snatch Noraâs medicine. Although I donât know what it is, Austin is a bit difficult to deal with. Iâm worried about Noraâs safety. The Smithsâ men are already on their way to the hospitalâ¦â
Suddenly he couldnât say anything about asking the Hunts to send someone.
He was, after all, begging.
However, before he could think of a way to say it, he hears Justin say, âI have 81 bodyguards here. Iâll personally keep watch outside the hospital, okay?â
Hearing this, for the first time, Ian felt that this son-in-law seemed quite trustworthy.
He coughed again. âYes. Iâll be more at ease if you keep an eye on him personally.â
Justin said kindly, âAfter all, Iâm still young. There are some things I couldnât do well, so I still need your guidance. This time, you will be the commander and I will listen to your orders, how about it?â
He was showing weakness.
It also made Ian let his guard down against him for the first time.
At the end of the day, Justin was just a man who had just fallen in love. It shouldnât be that dangerous, right?
Ian said, âOkay, sure. Then listen to the arrangements.â
âNo problem.â
Justin hung up the phone. Lawrence shouted from the side, âBoss, how can you not let Ms. Smith know that youâre the one who really saved her?â
Sean looked at Justin as well.
Justin touched his nose. The mole under his eye flickered and a sly look appeared in his eyes. âIf Iâd done something Ian couldnât do, do you think Iâd still be at ease giving myself to Nora?â
Justin had suddenly understood Ianâs thoughts.
Thinking about it, if he were to find a husband for Cherry in the future, he definitely wouldnât want her husband to be too powerful. He just hoped that Cherry would be happy, healthy, and able to find a trustworthy person to take care of her for the rest of her life.
The more capable a man was, the greater his ambitions were. Such a man would be all the more difficult to control.
If Cherryâs husband was stronger than him, how could he help Cherry get revenge if he bullied her in the future?
Therefore, the best way was to prevent Cherryâs boyfriend from having the ability to dominate him!
Therefore, not only could he not follow Lawrenceâs instructions and show off his abilities, but he also had to keep a low profile and get Ian to let his guard down against him.
Justin got up and walked out.
Lawrence asked, âBoss, where are you going?â Justin turned around. âTo the hospital, of course. Didnât I promise Ian Iâd keep an eye on Nora?â.
Lawrence was confused.
Justin didnât dare come!
Before he could finish speaking, however, Justin was already out the door.

Austin was coming.
This news excited Captain Johnson, who kept paying attention to the movements outside.
The next morning, there was still no news from the hospital.
Captain Johnson consoled himself. It would take Austin 12 hours to fly from the UK to New York. He must not be here yet. By noon the next day, there was still no word from the hospital. Everything was incredibly stable.
Captain Johnson could only continue to console himself. Austin had arrived in New York, and he definitely needed rest. He could do nothing without proper preparation.
However, on the morning of the third day, Austin still hadnât shown up!
Captain Johnson could not sit still.
He paced the room. He, who had not slept all night, had serious dark circles under his eyes. He even went online and sent a message to Austin: âYou didnât come?â.
Austin replied, âAre you looking to die? Beat it.â
Johnson: â?????â
He looked dumbfounded at Austinâs response on the screen. Would Austin really not come?
He said he would come, and then posted a comment that scared the others so much that they didnât dare copmment. But in the end, Austin still wasnât coming â why?
Captain Johnson stood up abruptly.
He wanted to rush to the hospital, but the last of his rationality calmed him. Donât be anxious, donât be anxiousâ¦.
What if that genetic serum was useless? He definitely couldnât fall into Noraâs trap!
At that moment, Janson called out. His voice was a little muffled. âCaptain Johnson!
He choked back tears as he spoke. Captain Johnson let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, âDid the experiment fail? Noraâs brother didnât get up, did he? Like I said, using the genetic serum to treat disease is impossible! But Janson, donât get too depressed. Life and death are determinedâ¦â
At this point, Janson interrupted him, âNo, Captain Johnson, thatâs not what I meant. I called to tell you⦠It worked! Quentinâs up!â
