Chapter 938



.

Nora frowned and unconsciously took two steps back to stand behind Queenie. Her identity as Black Cat had not yet been publicly revealed. Although Caleb was an ally, having one less person in the know would mean less risk of exposure.

Queenie, who understood his intent, immediately asked, “Who are you?”

At the question, Caleb remained silent for a long moment. A moment later, he sighed and replied, “I’m Caleb. I wonder if Nora has ever mentioned my name to you.”

He deliberately brought up Nora to create a sense of familiarity between the two of them.

Queenie unconsciously glanced at Nora.

After all, Nora had never mentioned the man.

However, she quickly realized that her gaze was not the right one, so she hastily withdrew it. She lowered her gaze and replied dispassionately, “Yes, he has.”

“Really?”

Caleb’s eyes lit up, and a hint of a smile appeared on his soft countenance. He asked, “What did he say about me?”

“…”

The corners of Queenie’s eyes twitched a little, and she thought to herself, ‘This is clearly someone who has fallen prey to Nora’s charms.’ She changed the subject and asked, ‘What are you doing here?’

At the question, a concerned look appeared on Caleb’s face. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “I’m from the mysterious organization. Aren’t you going to deliver the V16 to the mysterious organization today? Trueman told me to follow you until you did.”

Queenie narrowed her eyes. She didn’t like anyone in the mystery organization. She let out a scornful laugh and said, “So, your feelings for Nora must be fake, too?”

“No, they aren’t. I don’t, I…” Caleb wanted to explain himself, but didn’t know how. In the end, he let out a small sigh and instead said, “Never mind. Let’s go”.

After he spoke, he walked back to his car.

Queenie looked at Nora.

Nora stayed where she was, contemplating.

A minute later, the phone in her pocket beeped.

She reached down and picked it up. When she looked at it, she discovered it was a message from Morris from the United States: ‘Caleb just alerted us to the location of Queenie’s deal with the mysterious organization. We’ve already deployed people to intercept them.'”

Although Caleb worked for Trueman, Morris, from the special department, had convinced him to defect long ago.

He was currently their spy in the mysterious organization.

Trueman trusted him, so he had gotten him to go through with the deal.

Informing Morris of it meant that Caleb was still doing his duty as their spy.

To be honest, neither Morris nor Brenda trusted him very much.

After all, Caleb had worked for Trueman for many years. If he hadn’t been arrested the other time, he probably wouldn’t have betrayed Trueman. One could consider this incident a test of his loyalty.

Nora put her phone away and then nodded to Queenie to indicate that she was credible enough. Only then did Nora return to the car.

Just as she was about to drive away, someone knocked on the rear window.

The trio in the car turned their heads to see Caleb standing beside them. He said, “Let me come with you! I have something to tell Madame Schmidt.”

When Nora looked next door, she discovered that the man had parked his car in the emergency lane.

He was also limping as he walked, indicating that his wounds had not yet fully healed. It was very dangerous for him to drive in that condition.

Nora pressed the car’s lock button. Caleb opened the back door and sat in the back seat.

He only moved in a little.

The two had never met, so they didn’t know each other. However, Caleb assumed he was Queenie’s bodyguard, so he didn’t say much to her.

The group resumed their journey. They soon caught up to the bodyguards’ car driving slowly ahead waiting for them. The two cars drove side by side, protecting each other.

Nora was in a constant state of vigilance over her surroundings.

The news that Queenie had stolen the V16s to deliver to the mysterious organization had long since come to light. There was no doubt that Barbarian had heard the news. In that case, he would certainly go after them.

As they moved forward, Caleb suddenly said, “Madame Schmidt, you have always treated Nora very well. Aren’t you afraid that she will be saddened by your betrayal?”

Queenie: “?”

She looked at Nora and then withdrew her gaze. In an impassive and somewhat cold voice, she replied, “I was a member of the mysterious organization from the beginning. I was just hiding by their side, that’s all. There’s nothing to be sad about.”

Caleb frowned. “No one is a saint; how could anyone be so ruthless? Even a cold hard stone would warm up after five years in his chest. Besides, I’ve already heard Nora mention that she admires you a lot. Deep down, she sees you as her mother.”

When Queenie heard this, she didn’t look at anyone around her.

In fact, she even turned her head slightly and looked out the window as she asked, “Really? Then she has really misjudged me. But what about you, does she know you’re a member of the mysterious organization?”.

Caleb was immediately silent. “She knows. I have never lied to her. Madame Schmidt, are you really going to hand over the V16? Why don’t you leave one for Xander? You should know he needs the serum badly. If you let him have one, Nora might not hate you so much.”

Nora listened to their conversation as she drove.

Was Caleb planning to persuade her aunt for her?

It was probably going to be a waste of time, though.

No doubt Queenie was keeping her gaze fixed in the distance. She said, “My master’s message is that he wants both serums-why would he bring only one?”

She grimaced and looked back at Caleb. “Do you believe me when I tell you that if you go ahead, I will relay our conversation to my master?”.

Caleb fell silent. But after a moment of silence, he spoke again. “You distrust me, but you did not relay the conversation to them immediately. This proves that you do have feelings for Nora. In that case, why bother doing this?”

Queenie scoffed and said, “I don’t know who you are, nor do I know whose side you’re on, but I’ll tell you this: don’t waste your breath. I will not betray the mysterious organization. My family is still in their hands…”

Caleb became anxious upon hearing this. He said, “I can help you rescue your family, I…”.

But before he could finish, Queenie sneered and said, “You? Who do you think you are? Are you Trueman? Or are you very powerful? If you can rescue my family, why are you the lackey of the mysterious organization? I have told you that if you say any more nonsense, I will tell my master what you have said. You should know very well what your outcome would be when that happens.” Caleb was silent.

After a while, he sighed.

It was at that moment that Queenie’s phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and then answered the call, putting the phone on speaker. “Hello.”

“Ha, you should know my subordinate by now, shouldn’t you?”.

Queenie looked at Caleb and replied, “Yes.”

“Okay. Hand V16 over to Caleb now! He will guard the V16 all the way.”

As soon as he said that, Queenie’s pupils shrank.

Nora frowned.

Through the rearview mirror, she glanced at Caleb, who was sitting in the back seat. His eyes widened and he also looked terribly surprised, but a brief moment later, he thought of something and let out a quiet sigh. Trueman had trusted Caleb a lot from the beginning. This was supposed to put Caleb under a lot of pressure too, wasn’t it?

After all, he had betrayed his best friend, who was also someone he had grown up with.

Nora didn’t say anything.

However, something suddenly occurred to Caleb. He clenched his fists and said suddenly, “Give me the V16!”.

Queenie didn’t want to do it. She said, “Why should I? What if the mysterious organization doesn’t release my parents and sister after you take the V16?”

On the phone, Trueman scoffed and said, “Do you believe me when I tell you that I will kill your parents and younger sister immediately if you don’t give it to them?”

Queenie shut up instantly.

As for Caleb, he picked up his phone and secretly sent a text message to someone.

Nora’s phone vibrated. With her back to Caleb, she secretly pulled out her phone, where she saw that Caleb had sent her the message.

It read, [I’m with Queenie right now. Black Cat is protecting her along with other bodyguards right now. Black Cat is very strong, but I’m trying to get my hands on V16. If I can trick Queenie, I will find a way out of the car after I get the V16. You must be chasing Queenie right now, right? When the time comes, coordinate with me and take the V16].

Nora: “…”

She knew it was strange for Caleb to take the initiative to demand V16. It turned out it was for his own good.

She put one hand on the steering wheel and used the other to secretly respond to the text message: [I’m following them closely. It would be too obvious if you give me the V16 after you get it. Aren’t you afraid Trueman will spot you?].

Caleb then replied: [I don’t have long to live. If the V16 falls into Trueman’s hands, it will be very difficult for you to get it back for Xander. We’ll get on with it. I’ll find a way to get the V16].

Solo’s voice was suddenly heard in the car. “Hey, who are you texting, is it Trueman?”

Hearing this, Caleb put the phone aside and replied, “No.”

After speaking, he looked at Queenie. As he was about to speak, Queenie grimaced and said, “If you kill my parents and my sister, I’ll have the car flipped over and the V16 crushed immediately.”

Trueman: “…”

With that, a stalemate was reached.

Trueman was silent for a long moment. Finally, he hung up the phone.

In the background, Caleb sighed and said, “Now that you’ve pissed him off, your family is definitely going to suffer.”

Queenie said nothing.

Caleb then said, “Or how about you give me one of the V16s and we’ll keep an eye on them separately? I can get in touch with Trueman right away and put in a good word for you to ease the tension between you two.”

But when he said that, Queenie instead grimaced and said, “No, that’s not necessary. Suffering a little is still better than dying.”

Then, she stared straight ahead and said, “Your master must have told you to pick me up because he’s up ahead, right? After all, it’s already time for your injection. So as not to give rise to possible trouble, he must have come in person.”

Caleb sighed. “I don’t know.”

He had just spoken when there was a sudden turn of events.

The car stopped abruptly, and those talking in the car lurched forward. Solo’s head came to collide with the seat in front of him.

Queenie fared a little better, as she was wearing her seatbelt buckled in.

Caleb reacted quickly, resting his hands on the seat in front of him to steady himself.

All three looked at Nora in unison.

She only opened her mouth to complain. “Do you know how to drive…?”

Before the word ‘drive’ could fully come out of her mouth, she noticed that the other three were looking forward.

So, Solo looked that way too.

Only then did he realize that a huge boulder was obstructing his path. It occupied both lanes, preventing the car from moving forward.

On top of the huge rock was a man.

The man was tall and well built. He wore bulletproof clothing that protected the vital parts of his body, and his whole body was brimming with strength.

It was Barbarian!

As soon as he saw him, Solo’s eyes turned red.
