Nora looked at Queenie with certainty. âSo this is the real reason you decided to sacrifice yourself, is it?â
Queenie was taken aback.
After a while, she sighed quietly. âAgain, youâve figured it out.â
Previously, Yvette had hidden the truth from Queenie and had helped her survive in the beginning. After the last twenty years or so, she was no longer so much looking to die.
While she certainly meant all the things she said earlier, and also agreed with what Nora wanted, in reality, it was Trueman who really worried Queenie.
Barbarian might be powerful, but at the end of the day he was nothing more than a fighter who lacked intelligence.
gαâηÏνððsï¼Ã§Ð¾m takes you away Trueman was the real threat!
The mysterious organization was in possession of all the genetic serums from V1 to V15, meaning it was only a matter of time before the mysterious organization created a second Barbarian!
Therefore, when Nora obtained two doses of the genetic serum but was unable to use it on Xander immediately, Queenie no longer dared to have plans on the other one.
She wanted to leave the second one to Xander, in case of emergency.
By carrying fake serums this time, first of all, she was leaving herself no way out. Secondly, he feared he would not be able to outwit Trueman. In case the other party caught her, if Nora would have the serum Trueman needed, she could at least negotiate with him.
The best solution Queenie could come up with was to blast Trueman and Barbarian with herself.
If she failed, at least there would still be two doses of the genetic serum: one for Trueman and one for Xander. It wasnât that she didnât want to live, she just couldnât. She didnât dare.
He didnât dare risk provoking Trueman by using the genetic serum, which would lead him to take the remaining one. If so, there would be none left for Xander! When Queenie saw how sharp and perceptive Nora was to realize his true intentions so quickly, she sighed and pulled her hand away. She said, âNora, since you already know everything, you should exercise even more caution. I canât use the serum. Iâ¦â
Queenie was about to continue speaking when, suddenly, she felt a burst of pain that made her go into a fetal position: it was the reaction from the last genetic serum she had received, V15.
She was about to die.
Still, with her other hand, Queenie held tightly Noraâs hand that was about to inject her with the serum. âIâ¦willâ¦notâ¦takeâ¦itâ¦letâ¦meâ¦. dieâ¦â
Everyone in the room looked nervously at Nora.
Caleb said, âThink again, Nora!â
But the masked Justin, who was standing behind Nora, suddenly said, âDonât be afraid, Nora. Iâm here.â
After he spoke, he reached out and patted Noraâs shoulder.
His palm was very warm and reassuring, as if he could solve anything, no matter how big Noraâs problem was. Noraâs heart was reassured.
She lowered her eyes and let out a silent sigh. âOkay, I wonât use it on you.â Queenie breathed a sigh of relief.
Caleb breathed a sigh of relief as well.
Even the fake Trueman was relieved.
But the next moment, at the very instant Queenie let go of Noraâs hand, Nora roughly shoved the needle into her arm and quickly pressed the syringe!
Queenie was already in a lot of pain, she just felt as if an ant had bitten her shoulder, so she hadnât noticed anything⦠it was Caleb who pulled himself together first. He stepped forward abruptly to stop Nora. âNora!â
But a large, tall figure blocked his path.
Caleb looked at the masked King and held his gaze steadily. âYouâ¦â
âDonât bother her.â
Justinâs voice was very calm and steady. His eyes swept over everyone in the room, making them flinch.
It only took a few moments for him to finish the injection.
During the brief interruption, the V16 was fully injected into Queenie.
Her pain gradually began to subside, and she also seemed to undergo some changes.
Queenieâs facial features looked even younger. Although she looked very ill, she was now radiant. Even the pain from the backlash had disappeared in an instant, easing the frown on her face.
She squatted on the floor, dazed, as she perceived the changes in her body with disbelief.
Seeing her like this, Nora reached out to check her pulse. âAunt Queenie, I wouldnât let Xander take the serum until I confirmed its effectiveness. You donât have to feel any psychological burden. Iâm just giving you the serum as an experiment.â
Despite saying that, Queenie was no fool.
She naturally understood that Nora was only saying that because she didnât want her to feel guilty, especially sinceâ¦once Trueman realized that she had taken the genetic serum and that there was only one dose left in the world, Truemanâs repercussions would definitely be enormous.
Nora checked Queenieâs pulse cautiously. She found that the womanâs pulse, which a moment ago was so weak as to be almost non-existent, had regained its strength.
She asked, âHow are you feeling, Aunt Queenie?â
Queenie took in the sensations in her body and slowly replied, âI have become even more sensitive to sounds, and I seem to be able to hear sounds of an even wider range of frequencies now. My body feels very relaxed and comfortableâ¦â
Queenieâs physical state was completely normal!!!!
This proved that there was no problem with the V16âs her mother had left behind.
Nora breathed a sigh of relief for Queenie and Xander.
After all, the V16âs were over twenty years old â who could guarantee their effectiveness?
Nora helped Queenie up and looked at her intently. âLetâs get in the car.â
Queenie nodded.
Barbarian was already dead. Although this âTruemanâ was a fake, Nora handed Brenda the mysterious members of the organization. Then, along with Justin, she drove Queenie home. Caleb sighed quietly and said nothing. The limping man left them and returned to the hospital for medical treatment.
Before the fake Trueman was taken away, he shouted, âWait, Nora Smith! Mr. Yale will never leave you alone! Wait for him! Heâll be coming for you very soon.â
Of course, Nora knew that Trueman would never give up. She just didnât expect Truemanâs retaliation to come so quickly or directly.
On her way home, she received a call from Trueman. Truemanâs voice was rough and arrogant as he cried out. âYou seem to want to do this the hard way, eh, Nora? You think all your problems are solved because you now have King on your side? Youâre wrong! Who do you think could be behind such a powerful entity as the mysterious organization? The Former King of the United Kingdom? Is he so powerful that every country in the world fears him? To think that youâre in league with King! Ha, youâre a fool! I donât mind telling you the truth: The mysterious organization is none other than the Imperial League! Why do you think King approached you? Ha! Youâre so naive itâs unbelievable.â
Nora looked at Justin. âOh? So tell me, what is Kingâs goal in approaching me?â
