Around the Horgen District, Switzerland.
Since Barbarian wanted to blow up the Horgen District, that meant the bomb had to be installed somewhere nearby. However, the Horgen District, which was considered a residential complex for the wealthy, was huge and even contained a park. It was not going to be easy to find the bomb that Barbarian had buried.
However, that day, everyone in the vicinity of the Horgen District sprang into action.
The couriers first investigated the list of items that had been delivered to the district over the past ten days.
The courier companyâs network of people covered almost the entire area and there were one or two employees who knew everyone in the district. However, no one knew that all courier deliveries in the surrounding area were already under the monopoly of a company called Send Express, let alone that Send Express was a subsidiary of NTT.
On the orders of NTTâs boss, aka Queenie Schmidt, a secret showdown was going on out of sight.
In addition to the courier company, all the street sweepers came to the district to clean up the site. Based on the information sent by the couriers, they conducted a search of the district.
Add to this the fact that the patrolling officers were employees of a security company, and the discreet group came together to form a formidable force, even larger than the security cameras. In just thirty minutes, they found the bomb.
The group immediately made a report to the police.
Nora, who was sitting in the lab, was speechless when she got the call.
âWhy did they call the police instead of dismantling it?â She asked.
Queenie scoffed. âIâm a good law-abiding citizen, you know. They should be the ones to do it in the first place. Why do I have to take care of it for them?â
Nora was silent.
Queenie had professional bomb disposal experts on her team, yet she had to insist on doing a police report instead.
The corners of her lips tightened in silence, after which she heard another chuckle from Queenie, who added, âBesides, itâs not even like Cherry is there, so why should I waste my time and effort doing it? Iâve already made a big contribution by finding the bomb.â
Thatâs right.
The three children had left the Horgen District a long time ago.
Considering that Nora had not only wanted to send the children elsewhere, but was also aware that their whereabouts were already exposed to Spacey, how could she stop at something as simple as taking them elsewhere?
The day before she had sent her children to the Horgen district by car, but unbeknownst to outsiders, the houses in the district had subway passageways that connected directly to the villas next door.
Cindy had been living in the villa next door all along. She drove the car every day, so she hadnât raised Liamâs suspicions at all when she sneaked the three children out.
After all, Nora had just sent them to the district â who would have thought she would immediately move them elsewhere?
She had wanted to defuse the bomb because it was too powerful. If it went off, it would cause damage to people in the surrounding area.
Queenie spoke again. âTsk, the bomb has been defused. How are things going on your end?â
Noraâs lips curved into a smile. âThey havenât realized theyâve been fooled yet. Donât worry.â
Queenie laughed softly and commented dryly, âSneaky bitch.â
Before hanging up, she said, âCherry and the others are here with me. They are very safe, so you can rest easy. But you sure are fertile. To think youâve given birth to three babies, are you really a sow?â
Nora: â!â
The corners of her lips twitched and she hung up the phone on him.
The things her aunt was saying simply sounded too horrible.
Wasnât it because her mother had injected her with the serum that she had had a multiple pregnancy and given birth to three children?
She rolled her eyes and opened the lab door.
When Liam had taken the serums and left without further ado, he had threatened her not to pursue him. Besides, heâd even turned on the labâs security cameras to keep an eye on her. For the sake of the lives of the inhabitants of the Horgen district, Nora had refrained from taking rash action.
But nowâ¦
It was time to strike back!
She might not be able to beat Barbarian in a fight, but Spacey would certainly be cake.

On the road.
Liam was driving at high speed. He was looking ahead with a wild grin, but it was at that moment that he received a phone call from Barbarian.
âThe bomb has been defused!â
His words took Liam by surprise. âWhat?â
Barbarianâs voice was also full of surprise and horror. He said, âItâs true! I couldnât locate the bomb just now, so I checked the surveillance cameras. Thatâs when I discovered that the police had already surrounded it. Then I pressed the remote control, but the bomb had already been defused!â.
Liam pounded the steering wheel.
âItâs only been half an hour! Didnât we agree youâd beat me by three hours? Half an hour isnât enough time for me to escape.â
Barbarian said reluctantly, âIt doesnât matter, with the V16 in your hands they wouldnât dare do anything to you! Besides, no one went after you when you ran away, itâll be too late even if they start chasing you now! After all, there are no traffic jams here.â
Liam felt enlightened listening to him. He said, âYouâre right. Putting aside whether or not they can catch up with me, the mere fact that V16 is in my possession is already like having a hostage with me. If they dare to capture me, I will destroy the V16! Then everyone can forget about living.â
After hanging up the phone, Liam looked back.
Half an hour had passed and he was already a long distance from Staav University. Unless the other party was a divine car racer, they could forget about catching up with himâ¦.
Liam breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
However, he dared not slacken off and pressed on.
Ten minutes later, Liam suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
He turned his head sharply to the side to see a large black jeep driving alongside him on the road.
The moment he looked, the jeepâs window slowly rolled down, revealing Noraâs fresh, beautiful face.
Liam: â!â
His pupils shrank sharply and he stomped on the accelerator.
The next moment, however, the jeep caught up with him again.
Try as he might, he couldnât get rid of the jeep. Besides, it was obvious that he was driving too fast and there were several curves in the road. It was as if one was going to be thrown out of the car if he didnât slow downâ¦..
Still!
He spun the steering wheel frantically before he finally managed to round a curve, but when he looked at Nora, the woman had one hand on the steering wheel while slowly stretching out the other.
Suddenly, she made a gun with her finger, pointed it at him and uttered, âBang.â
At that moment, Liam felt as if he had just encountered the Devil himself.
