Justin was slightly stunned when he heard this and subconsciously said, "1 don't know."
"Okay."
Justin retorted, "Is something the matter?"
"Not really. I just wanted to find out since Dad sounded so mysterious."
Nora did not doubt it. After all, when Ian and the others mentioned King downstairs, she realized that Eagle was Joel, not Justin.
This meant that Justin might not be in the group at all.
... He was quite pitiful.
So, she shouldn't mention this topic to agitate him?
Thinking of this, Nora changed the topic. "Are you really okay? If you need help, just tell me directly."
"No, it's fine."
Justin thought that she was going to ask him for help. But even if she wanted to look for King for help, he could not reveal his identity.
It would be very dangerous if this identity was revealed.
Perhaps instead of helping Nora, he might end up hurting her.
This was also why he had lived in New York for so many years as Justin Hunt alone. After all, no one would associate the person in control of the number one family in New York with King.
The number one power in New York had always lived in public. No matter where he went, his exact whereabouts could be found.
At the thought of this, Justin lowered his eyes and said, "From the legends I've heard of King, I learned that if you want his help with something, he is a very easygoing person. You can get Joel to convey your thoughts."
Nora glanced at him.
She thought that she could deliver the message herself without needing to ask Joel, but she decided not to continue this conversation. She changed the topic again. "How has Xander been these past few days?"
After analyzing Xander's gene serum without any sleep for three days and injecting him with the drug, Nora fell asleep for three days after realizing that all his vital signs were normal.
When she woke up, she was most concerned about Xander's health.
"...He's fine."
Justin thought about it and replied cautiously.
Nora immediately sensed the meaning. "That means something has happened?"
Justin sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I only tested his intelligence and realized... that it's gotten higher. His intelligence is even higher than Pete and Cherry's."
Pete was an extremely smart child. Otherwise, he would not have learned the Math Olympiad questions at the age of five. Those questions were very difficult even for university students.
Cherry was also a representative of high intelligence. She could not calm down. Nora could only let her play games to divert her attention and make her hyperactivity better over the years.
Contrary to these two, Xander had always lived beside Trueman. Nora did not know him very well.
His intelligence surpassed Pete and Cherry's?
Nora was silent for a moment before finally sighing deeply. "Genetic medicine is indeed a good thing."
Justin also nodded. "This temptation is really too difficult for humans to resist. Who doesn't want to strengthen their bodies? Who doesn't want to have outstanding intelligence? We will definitely face many temptations in the future."
At this point, he suddenly asked, "Nora, if you successfully find the V16, will you take it?"
Nora curved her lips and smiled. "I'm already one of the smartest people in the world. Why bother? Besides, humans should respect evolution. The current level of human technology and research are not enough to support a sudden arrival of highly intelligent humans."
Hearing her words, Justin smiled. "What if that gene serum really succeeds and can extend one's life?"
Nora was fine.
She had been a Buddhist her entire life. It was enough for her to have enough money to survive and have her relatives by her side. Furthermore, even if she passed away, she would only be sleeping endlessly.
She was not scared of it.
She waved her hand casually. "Not interested. I'll change my clothes. Let's go see Xander."
"Okay."
The two of them stood opposite each other. Nora looked at him for a long time before pointing at the door. "Aren't you going out?"
Justin smiled. "Our children are already five years old. We're a couple. Do you still care about this?"
Nora:
This man was getting more and more shameless.
She turned around and seemed to be walking to the cloakroom. When Justin strode forward, planning to follow her, she suddenly turned around and kicked him in the chest.
Justin subconsciously stepped back and reached out to block, but he was kicked two steps back by Nora and he went straight out the door.
The next moment, "Smash!"
