Hearing this, Nora stopped and looked behind her at Justin, who was following her. She said very solemnly, âDonât follow me. I must go alone. None of you must follow me.â
She couldnât risk putting Xanderâs life in danger at a time like this.
Besides, she was Black Catâ¦there was probably no one in this world who was better at escaping than she was. Even if she was caught by Trueman, she wouldnât be in mortal danger.
Justin looked into the womanâs eyes.
Her docile, obedient almond-shaped eyes, which should look charming and shy, were filled with determination in that instant.
Justin knew that the woman he loved was not a fragile flower who could only depend on men.
He nodded his head.
Nora looked at him intently. After a while, she finally said, âDonât worry, Iâll bring Xander back safe and sound.â
After saying that, Nora walked away decisively.
Justin stayed where he was.
His lips parted slightly as he mumbled, âOkay, Iâll wait for the two of them to come back.â
Watching Nora walk away, Cherry and Pete finally realized something wasnât right, especially since Pete was so sharp and perceptive. He looked directly at Justin and asked, âDad, whatâs wrong, is Xander in danger, whereâs Mom going?â
Justin squatted down and held the boys with one arm each. His voice was steady as he said, âItâs all right. Mommy is going to pick up Xander and take him home.â Cherry and Pete, who had been panicking, finally calmed down when they heard this. Queenie looked at Justin. âYou⦠Youâre really not going to go after her?â
Justin nodded. âI believe in Nora. Besides, there are other things I have to take care of.â
Queenie was taken aback.
Justin stood up. He put his head down, picked up his phone and immediately made a call. âInvestigate everything related to the mysterious organization within the Imperial League and thenâ¦. Eliminate them all!â
There was a slight anger in his voice as he added, âDonât leave a single one of them alive!â.
Why was Trueman so powerful?
Because he trusted the Imperial League!
If the Imperial League could discover the identity of all the members of the mysterious organization and cut off all their sources of income, then Trueman, who would be left without manpower or money, would no longer be a threat to Nora!
It was dangerous for Nora to confront Trueman head-on.
How could Justin stand idly by and do nothing, he would defeat Trueman and clear all obstacles for Nora!

As Nora walked out the door, she saw a car parked outside.
After getting into the car and starting the engine, Trueman said to her over the phone, âThrow away your phone and call me with the one I left you with.â
Nora turned her head to the side and saw an old-fashioned phone on the passenger seat. It was an extremely primitive type of phone that could probably only be used for calling and not even texting. Without hesitation, he threw the phone away.
The primitive phone began to ring. When he answered, Truemanâs voice came from the other end. âGo to 28 Vail Street.â
Nora started the car and headed for 28 Vail Street.
As soon as she arrived, the phone rang again. When she answered it, Trueman said, âMy little maid sure is obedientâ¦. Do you see bus No. 848? Get on it.
As soon as she finished speaking, bus No. 848 pulled up to the stop in front of her. She glanced at the roadside surveillance cameras and boarded the bus immediately.
