Chapter 693



Justin pursed his lips and handed Ian a piece of paper next to the medicine in the box.

Ian opened it and saw a line of words, “You have to inject Xander before half a month or he will die.”

Ian’s pupils shrank as he stared in disbelief.

Nora took a deep breath and explained, “Caleb once told me that there is no way to expel the side effects of the gene serum in an adult. Therefore, even if an adult manages to improve their genes, their life is greatly shortened. Within the mysterious organization, they had once found thousands of children for experiments. Among these children, those who could not withstand the genetic serum died. Those who could withstand it had to be injected regularly. Otherwise, they would also die. Just like Caleb and Trueman have to be injected with the genetic serum regularly.”

Ian took a sharp breath. “Are you saying Xander will be controlled by him from now on?”

Nora nodded.

Ian clenched his jaw and gripped the handle of the chair tightly. Then he said sternly, “How dare he conspire against my grandson, he’s truly suicidal! Our family will fight this mysterious organization to the end.”

Nora looked at him and lowered her eyes. Justin looked at Nora nervously. “Xander’s DNA can’t match yours and mine. It’s because of this, Nora, is there something wrong with his body?”

Nora frowned. “To be honest, I don’t know.”

She looked at Justin. “At least he’s healthy for now. Do you think Trueman is lying to us?”

Justin took a deep breath. “Yes.”

Justin’s suspicion was very reasonable.

Trueman was both good and bad. He had never done things logically. Indeed, it was reasonable that he really did plan to trick them.

What if Xander didn’t need the genetic serum but was still injected with it under Trueman’s deception?

Nora was silent for a long moment.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and heard Caleb’s deep voice. “Miss Smith, you might be in trouble.”

Nora was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”

Caleb said quietly, “I noticed that Trueman has secretly shipped a V15 genetic serum into the country…. You may not understand what V15 means. Let me tell you that the genetic serum is divided into 16 stages from 1 to 16. The serum is also divided into 16 injections. Only after these 16 injections can you become a fully transgenic person. Getting a carefree life, and even get more benefits from your body and live longer. But before this, if you miss any injection, you will die! I once told you that the mysterious organization raised a group of children who were very powerful. Among those few, there were five who survived. All five of us took doses up to V15. Currently, there is only V16 left, but V16 is in your mother’s hands.”

Nora’s eyes narrowed. She stared at the gene serum in her hand and took out the small vial. She turned to the back and noticed the words “V15” written on it.

He asked, “Xander is my son. He sent this genetic serum to my son.”

The other party paused and sighed. “Trueman only has three months to live. No wonder he’s in such a hurry.”

A cold light shone in Nora’s eyes. “What do you mean?”

Caleb sighed. “The longer the interval between injections, the lighter the body’s resistance. They’ve figured out that one can’t take more than two years to get the next injection. I’m the same age as Trueman. We are 29 years old. After the first ones, we injected every two years. We injected V15 almost 21 months ago. If he doesn’t find the V16 in three months, Trueman will die.”

Nora instantly understood the logic of this. “So Xander wasn’t even six years old, but he’d already been injected with fourteen serums? That means he was injected with three serums a year!”

“…” The other party was silent for a long time before sighing quietly. “Yes.”

One word made Nora’s heart ache like a needle.

She couldn’t think about it. She had no idea what Xander had been through in the last five years.

She clenched her jaw.

Caleb sighed. “Trueman must have become aware of you when you were giving birth, so he deliberately took your son. When your mother died that year, the mysterious organization couldn’t do anything with her. Most likely, the mysterious organization was afraid that you wouldn’t come out into the open and hide the antidote your mother had left behind, so it deliberately took Xander to force you to give in.”

Nora took a deep breath.

Trueman’s actions had really infuriated her!

She was furious.

Trueman used the boy as bait just to force her to find the V16 left behind by his mother!

She said angrily, “Let Trueman die!”

With that, she hung up.

That’s right. This was Trueman’s real motive.

Sending Xander back to drive a wedge between them was not his real goal. If Justin and Nora couldn’t even save a child, they weren’t worthy of being the Hunt’s boss.

Their goal was to force themselves on Nora.

Nora took a deep breath and looked at Justin.

As the two thought, there was a sudden, violent knock at the door. “Mom, Mom, open the door quick! Something’s wrong!”
