Calebâs tone became increasingly urgent. Towards the end, his voice also gradually became higher pitched.
When the last word rolled off his tongue, he took off his glasses impatiently and stared at Nora. âHeâs finished talking to you, hasnât he? You should understand by now that you must follow my orders more obediently, my little servant. Now, I want you to come with me, or you wonât be able to see Xander anymore!â.
Nora lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. âAll right.â
âTake this.â
Surprised, Nora looked at the pill.
Trueman smiled. âDonât worry, my little maid, youâre my favorite maid, you know. Besides, thanks to you, that King confiscated all my goods, so youâre the only servant I have now. Iâm just worried about you running away. After all, I canât beat Big Sister Quinn Martial Arts Schoolâs Big Sister in a fight and I donât have a second Barbarian to serve as my bodyguard either.â
Speaking of Barbarian, when Nora returned to the Schmidtâs, the Queen had called Justin and informed him of Barbarianâs death. In addition, both the captain and vice-captain of the guards protecting the Queen had been injected with genetic serums. One of them could not resist the effects of the serum and died, while the other became stronger. The Queen had asked Justin what she should do next.
Nora also advised him at that time and told him that the genetic serums that Barbarian possessed were not the purest, so they only enhanced a part of the genes, and would not make one as strong as Barbarian. Because of this, there would not be too great a reaction. At worst, the manâs life would only be shortened by ten years.
Barbarian would never let the bodyguard he prepared for the Queen, just before her death, die due to the reaction of the genetic serum⦠he had to survive. He truly had the Queenâs welfare in mind.
The Queen was silent for a long time on the phone before finally saying, âIâd like to give Barbarian a proper burial. Would you mind if I do?â
To be honest, whether Justin minded or not, the Queen would do it anyway.
This was a private matter.
However, the Queen for all these years actually considered Justin a friend, while Barbarian was Justinâs enemyâ¦. Unexpectedly, however, the usually cold man had solemnly replied, âWe must respect the dead. Do what you will.â
This world had treated Barbarian too cruelly, so he had taken his revenge. But no matter what had happened, now that he was dead, all the sins of the past had to be put behind him.
Trueman pressed the pill into Noraâs hand. She brought it to her nose and inhaled it: it was a kind of muscle relaxant.
It did not harm the body and only made one feel weak and limp. This way, she would no longer be able to resist Trueman.
A mocking Nora looked at Trueman and said, âIndeed, given your puny arms and legs, Iâd better not hurt you.â
Trueman: â???â
Trueman was immediately annoyed, and even a hint of mischief appeared at the corner of his lips. âYouâ¦â
The next moment, without waiting for Trueman to lose his temper, Nora took the pill, which took effect immediately. She could feel all her physical strength dissipate. However, she did not feel particularly uncomfortable. She moved her hands and feet a little, realizing that she had become a normal woman, thin and frail, that was all.
The pill was effective for one day.
In other words, during this period when she and Trueman were going to be together, Trueman would give her one every day.
Seeing that she was being so obedient, reprimanding her no longer seemed right to Trueman, so he went ahead of her and said, âFollow me.â
He climbed into the passenger seat of the car in front and pointed to the driverâs seat with his chin. âDrive, my maid.â
Noraâs expression darkened slightly.
Trueman asked provocatively, âDonât you want to see Xander anymore?â
Nora took a deep breath. Having no other choice, she could only walk over and climb into the driverâs seat.
She drove following Truemanâs instructions. As their car turned a few curves from one side of the road to the other, they began to drive farther and farther away from the city, causing Nora to frown.
Trueman chuckled. âIn principle, we should have been in the cruiser by now.How comfortable would that have been? Unfortunately, thanks to you, we no longer have the cruiser⦠however, I am very curious. My little servant, how on earth did you manage to persuade King and get that old man on your side?â
