Chapter 961



The phone call went silent. Trueman did not hang up. He smiled on the other end and said, “Little maid, I’ve finally tamed you. Hahaha, Xander is really a good son. He’s made you very obedient.”

Nora sat on the bus very quietly. “Can you let me talk to Xander for a while?”

She knew Trueman liked her to be obedient, so her tone was tactful.

In fact, this attitude pleased Trueman. He smiled, “Of course.”

Then, Nora heard a sobbing voice on the other end. “…”

Xander’s silence filled the phone. He didn’t seem to know what to say. Nora’s heart contracted slightly. She said slowly, “Xander…”

Feel inspired by ga ln o vels . com Her words made Xander choke up even more as he cried, “Mommy, I’m sorry!” Nora quickly comforted him. “You don’t have to apologize. There’s no need to apologize. I’m the one who let you down. I gave birth to you, but I didn’t even know of your existence. I let you live in hell for many years. Xander, you are the child I feel most guilty about.”

Xander was definitely feeling shocked, angry and guilty.

The boy was very kind. He knew his stupidity had put his mother in danger. Xander said, “Mommy, don’t worry about me. Daddy won’t do anything to me. He’s always been very good to me…”

Over the years, even though Xander had lived in the basement, it was obvious from the way Xander had dared to answer Ruth that his status in the mysterious organization was still very high.

At least Trueman hadn’t abused him.

When Xander said this, before Nora could say anything, Trueman’s sharp voice said with a hint of mischief, “That’s not necessarily true~ My good son, I treated you well before only to have you bring me the gene serum. Now, the V16 is in my hands. If your mommy doesn’t do as I say, then I can’t guarantee your safety. Of course, beating you is something I won’t do. At most, I will starve you. I guess it won’t do any good if you don’t eat for three days, will it?”

Nora’s voice suddenly sank. “Trueman, if you dare to touch even a hair on my son’s head, I’ll make you die a horrible death!”

Nora rarely spoke such vicious words.

She was usually very tactful and tolerant. She was also very indifferent to others, but at this moment, she was really angry. However, Trueman didn’t back down just because she was angry. He smiled and said, “Little servant girl, is this the attitude you should have when you talk to your master?”

Nora bit her lips.

After a while, she said, “….. Please.”

“Ha, this is simply too nice!” Trueman burst out laughing. “Your mother Yvette was a stubborn person. The mysterious organization could do nothing with her. For many years, they could only set traps and slowly wait for the V16 to fall into their hands. Compared to your mother, you are really better. You refused to admit defeat so many times… little maid, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had submitted to the mysterious organization and me from the beginning, wouldn’t Xander and I have had both serums now? As for Listener and whoever else, they weren’t worthy!”.

Nora remained silent and didn’t argue.

Xander was in Trueman’s hands, so she had to tread carefully. He asked, “Where do you want me to go, where are you, if I come looking for you, I’m sure you’ll want to see me subjected to you, won’t you?”

“Ha, little maid, you’re already good at understanding your master’s thoughts, not bad, keep it up, that’s how you must read my mind!”

Nora: “… Your voice still hasn’t improved.”

“That’s fine. When we meet, I’ll let you teach me. Now, get out of the bus.”

Nora: “…”

She was stunned. She looked at the still moving bus and said in surprise, “I haven’t reached the stop.” The bus would not stop until it reached the stop.

Trueman smiled, “As a Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts, this shouldn’t make things difficult for you, should it?”

Nora took a deep breath and stood up suddenly. Sitting next to her was a tall man. When he saw her get up, he was a little taken aback. He reminded her, “We haven’t reached the stop yet.”

Nora ignored him and opened the window.

The next moment, she raised her hands and her whole body slid out the window.

Thump.

After landing, Nora rolled to slow her momentum. She immediately stood up neatly and looked around, causing everyone on the bus to look at her in surprise.

“Martial arts!”

“How impressive!”

“So strong!”

After showing off her skills, Nora didn’t have time to listen to these people’s praise. She walked away following the instructions on the phone.

Not far away, a black car was parked.

Nora got into the car and started it up. The bus headed northwest as she drove northeast.

Trueman kept the others from following her. When she boarded the bus, it was best to wait at the next stop. However, who would have thought Trueman would ask Nora to jump off a moving bus?

Nora was driving, but her phone was still on the line. Trueman smiled, “Little maid, you’re really capable. I’m very pleased. Hahahahaha…”

Nora looked at the sea in the distance. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, “Do you want me to get on a boat?”

“Yes.”

Trueman laughed. “As long as we go to the open sea, it will be hard for anyone to find us.Not even King! Hahaha, Old King deserves to die. I’ll crush all his hopes of eternal life and watch him die.”

Trueman’s voice was full of arrogance.

Nora narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and bit her lips.

Half an hour later, Nora could already smell the sea water. She watched helplessly as the shore slowly came into view. She knew that if she didn’t find Trueman at that moment and actually set sail with him for the open sea, she would be completely in Trueman’s hands!

Nora became a little nervous.

At that moment, the phone rang. Someone must have walked into Trueman’s room. The person whispered, “Young Master, bad news! Something has happened to our ship.”

Trueman was stunned. “What happened?” The person said anxiously, “Our ship has been stopped.” Trueman said angrily, “Then find another one. As long as you pay well, I don’t think you can’t find another ship before long.”

The other party stammered and finally sighed. “Young Master, all our funds have been frozen, I just realized that all our bank accounts have been blocked! It must be… It was King! He’s cut off all our funds!”

Trueman was instantly irritated. He stood up and kicked something. He muttered under his breath and cursed, “You scum! You’re all scum. A bunch of trash.”

Hearing this, Nora looked down and suddenly asked, “Trueman, you don’t have any money anymore, do you? I can give you a choice. Give me Xander. I won’t take the V16 from you. I’ll think of a way to save Xander myself. Leave him behind. I can give you a large sum of money and let you live happily for the rest of your life.”

Without the support of the Imperial League, Trueman was like a general without soldiers. It was impossible to regain the lost lands.

The V16… Nora no longer wanted it.

This was because Trueman was definitely smart enough to inject himself the moment he got the V16, right?

She just wanted Xander!

She wanted to protect Xander. Even if she couldn’t develop a V16 herself, she wanted to accompany Xander in what little life he had left.

She couldn’t let the boy feel that much fear.

At the very least, she had to be by Xander’s side in his last moments.

However, as he finished speaking, Trueman suddenly scoffed. “Nora, you’re thinking too much! Haha, I won’t give you Xander. If you want him, come to me! Be my servant for the rest of your life.”

After saying this, she ordered, “Turn the car south. I’ll meet you there.”

Nora knew that Trueman had already gone mad.

This person was simply insane.

She gritted her teeth and turned the car. Justin had sent people to look for her all over town, but she had already changed cars a few times along the way and had also changed directions several times. Following Trueman’s instructions, she had already thrown off the people who were chasing her farther and farther away.

Soon, Nora came to an abandoned factory.

She stopped the car and saw a familiar figure standing in front.

As she got out of the car, Caleb approached with an anxious expression and took her by the hand. “Nora, what’s going on, why did Trueman say he captured Xander? He even asked me to take you to him.”

Looking at the person in front of her, Nora looked deeply into his almond eyes and didn’t speak.

Caleb sensed something was wrong with her and said anxiously, “Don’t be distressed. Whatever happens, I’ll save Xander! Don’t worry.”

However, Nora stepped back and avoided his tug. She looked at Caleb steadily and said word for word, “There’s no need to pretend.”

Caleb was stunned. “Nora, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. You…”

The rest of his words stuck in his throat.

Because the next moment, Nora called him “Trueman.”
