Chapter 917



.

Barbarian cautiously dodged wave after wave of the Schmidt’s security guards.

Because of the V16, the Schmidt’s had hired many more security guards and had further tightened security at the castle. Barbarian even saw some mercenary groups in there. These people were some of the most nefarious and ruthless people around. For Queenie to hire them as security personnel to protect Nora and the others, it could be said that she had certainly invested a lot.

It was just a shame that Barbarian was unrivaled when it came to physical ability and sharpness.

Besides, compared to the outer precincts of the castle, they didn’t patrol the inner precincts as carefully.

He dodged them all and headed straight for the bedroom door.

Then, he pushed the door open.

But just at that moment, a high-pitched sound of an alarm suddenly rang in the earpiece Barbarian wore in his right ear.

It was the alarm the Queen was to set off when she encountered danger.

The Queen was calling him.

Barbarian stopped in his tracks.

He frowned and turned to leave. But a cold, steady voice was then heard from his left earpiece.

gⱯlnσν𝒆𝓁s․com is your storytelling haven “Where are you going?”

Barbarian replied, “Her Majesty is in danger.” With that, Barbarian exited the master bedroom. Without hesitation, he ran to the stairs and prepared to go downstairs.

But the cold, firm voice in the earpiece said, “Are you crazy? V16 is right in front of you.”

However, Barbarian’s reply remained the same: “Her Majesty is in danger.”

As he hurried down the stairs, he said, “Indeed, a refrigerator has been added to Queenie Schmidt’s bedroom. You may go first. Once you have the V16, inject it immediately. Once Her Majesty is safe, I will come to save you.”

After saying that, Barbarian left without hesitation.

Barbarian could not leave the Queen in danger. Because the Queen was the only source of warmth in his life.

He still remembered the moment when he had escaped from the basement ten years ago. Exhausted, he didn’t know where he was and had ended up running aimlessly through the palace.

At that moment, the teenager just wanted to find a way out.

Then he stumbled and fell.

Behind him, the members of the mysterious organization rushed at him. As they were about to catch him, a beautiful voice reached them. “Who are they?”

The Queen was still a Princess then.

She was the new heir to the throne. She had a large number of security officers around her, but even when the people chasing Barbarian saw the Princess’s Royal Guards, they quietly approached. A group of Royal Guards had already subdued Barbarian, who was limp after struggling to get out of the basement. Someone said, “Your Highness, it is obvious at a glance that he is not a good man. His Majesty had warned that there might be hired assassins in the palace. It is very likely that he is a hitman. We should kill him to avoid possible trouble.”

Barbarian did not refute him.

Because he had seen the guy before.

He was a low-ranking leader in the mysterious organization. His purpose in saying what he did was to guide public opinion.

Barbarian had always been ineloquent and simple-minded. He couldn’t think of how to explain himself, so he simply closed his eyes in resignation.

He was frustrated.

He didn’t want to die just like that.

After finally forcing the basement door open with great difficulty, the five surviving children inside had escaped and fled in all directions. I didn’t know where the others had gone.

But I wanted to see what the outside world was like.

Was he going to die here now?

However, he had not yet been administered V16. Therefore, he would still die on his thirtieth birthday.

As Barbarian’s imagination ran wild, he heard the Princess’s voice. “He doesn’t look like a bad person to me.”

“Your Highness, bad guys don’t write the words ‘I’m a bad guy’ on his face. He has a murderous aura about him, and there’s even blood on him. He must be a hitman.”

“Shut your mouth!” The woman spoke arrogantly and willfully. She said, “If I don’t think he’s a bad person, then he’s not. All right, you guys, help him up. I’ll take him away for medical treatment and then I’ll personally ask him what’s wrong.”

Barbarian was taken to the Princess’s quarters.

Afterwards, the Princess called a doctor to give him a medical examination. His wounds were healing quickly, and his strength was also recovering rapidly.

People from the mysterious organization stood guard outside the door.

When Barbarian slowly opened his eyes, he saw the blue-eyed young woman with a curly blonde mane behind her walking towards him.

Before he could speak, the Princess shushed him and put her finger to his lips. Then she whispered, “Have you offended daddy, is that why they want to kill you? Don’t worry, with me around, no one will kill you.”

The Princess was wearing a fluffy white dress, while he was covered in blood. It had been a few days since he had bathed and his body was covered with dirt, stains and even blood. It was a hot summer day, and even he thought he stank.

However, it was as if the Princess didn’t feel it at all.

Her pure eyes and clean temperament made Barbarian understand, for the first time after leaving the basement, what it meant to be ashamed of oneself, and he shrank from her.

In the basement, he had been the most powerful person in the place. To get the follow-up genetic serums, the organization had even let him out to kill for them before.

His genetic enhancements were in his physical body, but right now, he felt a sense of inferiority coming from his soul.

How he wished he could go into the sea to immerse himself there for seven days and seven nights so that he could wash away all his sins.

Before Barbarian could think too much about these things, he had already hurried from the upper floor to the main hall. It was only logical that everyone in the Schmidt castle was very cautious. Besides, the Queen had always trusted the Schmidt’s; that was why she had dared to leave all the people around her during the meal.

Barbarian could think of no one who could harm the Queen.

Could it be that the people who had set fire to the hotel the other time had also come to the Schmidt’s house?

As Barbarian thought about it, he saw the Queen standing where she was, fine and intact. She was glaring angrily at Nora.

Barbarian: “?”

He approached with a look of bewilderment, seeing the Queen with her hands on her hips. The Queen usually did this in private, but when in front of others, she had always minded her manners.

Despite this, she said angrily to Barbarian: “Barbarian, hit her!”

Barbarian: “???”

After lunch, Queenie wanted to take a nap, so she left the second floor to the three young men and the children. Justin made up an excuse and said he would take the four children to play in the back yard, but he actually went to the upstairs master bedroom to catch Barbarian. Nora and the Queen were the only ones left in the living room.

Nora wanted to head upstairs, so she didn’t want to get stuck here because of the Queen. As a result, the two had had a little dispute just now.

It went like this:

The Queen asked, “Have your butlers found Black Cat or not?”

Nora: “?”

She frowned and said, “I will personally go and look for her, OK?”.

She got up to leave, but the Queen grabbed her arm and said, “You can’t! I understand now, Nora. You know who King is, don’t you? Then you must also know that King has special feelings for Black Cat. Does Black Cat still not show up because you’ve done something to him?! Black Cat saved my life. Hand her over to me.”

Nora: “???”

The corners of her lips tightened. Someone had told her a moment ago that Barbarian had made his move, so she was in a hurry to go upstairs and meet Justin to catch him. So he didn’t bother to explain and threatened her, “If you still don’t let go of me, I’m going to beat you.”

The Queen got angry. She said, “Don’t you dare think I’m going to be afraid of you just because you know how to fight a little. I may not know martial arts, but the people around me do.”

So, she had pressed the emergency call button. After Barbarian ran towards her, she looked at Nora and shouted, “Barbarian, hit her!”.

Nora: “???”

She looked at Barbarian, stunned.

Barbarian, aren’t you supposed to be stealing the V16 from the master bedroom upstairs right now?

Why are you here?

As she thought about it, a siren began to sound in the upstairs master bedroom.

Nora’s pupils shrank! The V16 had been stolen! But if Barbarian was here, who was it that had stolen the V16 upstairs?
