Nora pulled a bottle of V16 out of her pocket. She opened the lid and drew the serum into a syringe.
In the sunlight, her movements looked exceptionally professional and graceful.
Queenie watched her. For some reason, she suddenly felt content and relieved.
Yvette, as she had wished, her daughter had grown into a very strong person.
Next door, Trueman opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. If Barbarian had known that Nora was carrying the real V16, he probably would have risked his life to take it from her, wouldnât he?
Given Barbarianâs abilities, it was more likely that he could get it.
Once he obtained the V16 and injected himself with it, Barbarian would have been able to push his limit again and defeat any number of people! With that, he wouldnât have had to die.
So what the hell gave Nora the guts to keep bringing the real V16 with her when she knew full well they would be here? Trueman stared at her. As he watched Nora pick up the syringe, he couldnât help but say, âWait!â
Nora didnât hear him.
Trueman shouted, âNora, there are only two doses of that genetic serum in the world! Are you really going to give her one? Itâs obvious sheâs already dying! How can you keep giving it to her! Stop what youâre doing immediately! Stop! Otherwise, youâll regret it.â Trueman wanted to stop her.
However, Trueman had already been subdued, so he could not put up any resistance.
Nora remained indifferent to his verbal abuse.
Just as she was about to insert the needle into Queenieâs arm, a hand suddenly grasped her wrist.
Noraâs eyes followed the hand and she looked up to see Caleb standing in front of her. He frowned as he said, âThink twice about what youâre doing, Nora!â.
Nora narrowed her eyes. âWhat do you mean, Mr. Gray?â
âMr. Grayâ¦â
Noraâs manner of addressing him immediately became much stranger.
Caleb stared at her. âThere are only two genetic serums in this world. You have to understand that there may be more important people who may need you to save them. Do you really want to give her one of the serums?â
While NTT, the company Queenie had founded, might seem very powerful compared to the Hunt Corporation and the Smith Corporation, in the eyes of both King and the mysterious organization, it was insignificant.
Queenie was only Listener, one of five children at the time.
Among those five children, Trueman was the young master of the mysterious organization!
In terms of status, Trueman certainly seemed superior to the others, and besides, Caleb was also on good terms with him. Caleb had never tried to get hold of V16 for himself, and yet he was stopping her at a time like this.
Nora looked at Caleb and scoffed. âMr. Gray, Iâve never cared about statuses and such. The only people I hold dear to my heart are my family.â
After speaking, she shook off Calebâs hand.
But just as he was about to inject Queenie with the gene serum, Caleb shouted again, âBut you havenât caught Trueman yet! Arenât you afraid heâll fight Xander for the other gene serum after Queenie uses this one?â
Nora looked at him suddenly. âWhat did you say?â
Caleb let out a quiet sigh. He suddenly reached over to Trueman, who was being restrained, grabbed his suit jacket and pulled a voice modulator from around his neck.
The moment he pulled out the voice changer, âTruemanâ panicked. His voice changed instantly and he said, âCaleb, what are you doing, are you going to betray Mr. Yale?â
âBetraying Mr. Yaleâ¦â
Nora narrowed her eyes. Suddenly she realized something. âArenât you Trueman?â
All this time, sheâd had the nagging feeling that the trap sheâd set this time had worked too easily. How had she managed to capture both Barbarian and Trueman so easily?
It turned out that this man was not Trueman.
The fake Trueman immediately scoffed and said, âOf course, Iâm not Mr. Yale. It is impossible for Mr. Yale to put himself in such a dangerous situation. But I didnât expect you to actually betray Mr. Yale, Caleb.â
Caleb ignored him. Instead, he looked at Nora and said, âTrueman is not to be trifled with, Nora. Now that there are only two V16s left in the world, your best option is to give one to Trueman and maintain friendly relations with the mysterious organization. If you give this genetic serum to Queenie, whatâs your son going to do if Trueman takes the other one from you?â
Nora clenched her jaw. âI wonât let him!â
But Caleb took a deep breath and said, âAre you sure? Trueman isnât as simple as you think. Think about it, despite having had so many run-ins with him so far, has he really suffered any loss? His power is beyond your imagination.â
As soon as she said that, Queenie also pulled her hand away from Nora. âNora, heâs right. Although I wasnât in the mysterious organization all these years, Iâve also heard that the new young master of the mysterious organization is a ruthless man who is even stronger than the previous leader. I canât use this serum â save it for Xander instead!â
