Once Nora retrieved the serums, she would only need one for Xander.
Caleb was the only one with some bare connections to Nora. However, his cancer was already at an advanced stage and he didn't have long to live. Besides, he'd never thought of fighting for the serum, either.
Therefore, it was true that she only needed one.
It was better for Nora to agree to Liam's offer. By having the two of them take one each, the spoils would be evenly divided.
Moreover, the current situation seemed to have reached an impasse.
Liam was very sure that Nora would agree, yet she merely cast her eyes down and continued forward.
"Don't move! If you come any nearer, I really will empty the serums into the river!"
Liam shouted nervously.
However, Nora did not stop.
She continued to walk forward with a faint smile on her lips.
"Well, It's purified water anyway, so it doesn't matter even if you empty them into the river."
Her words stunned Liam. "What did you say?"
Nora looked at him. "As I said, we stayed in the school because we wanted to catch Barbarian, and for that end, we had made full preparations. So why would I head to the lab to refine the gene serum so carelessly after
getting my hands on it?"
She looked at Liam and went on. "I didn't expect you to be the backup plan in Barbarian's plans, but the moment you entered the lab, I figured it out. In that case, why would I still refine the V16 and give it to you?"
She stared at the reagent bottles in Liam's hand and said, "Feel free to toss it."
There was only distilled water in there anyway—Nora had poured the real gene serum into an inconspicuous test tube in Wayne's laboratory instead.
It was only after Liam took the two bottles of "gene serum" and left that she had slowly, and leisurely, stored the real V16 in a special container.
Liam:"!!"
He stared at the bottles in his hand in disbelief.
Suddenly, he opened the lids and tossed one straight into the river.
But even when he did that, Nora didn't react in the slightest.
This showed that everything she said was true!
Liam realized at once that he had been fooled!
He threw the other bottle of purified water into the river too and immediately got into his car. Before Nora could catch up, he started the car violently, causing it to zoom straight ahead!
Given Nora's driving skills, he knew that she would definitely be able to catch up with him, but by then, fleeing had already become something instinctive for him.
Seeing that panic had seized him again, Nora cast her eyes down and sneered. She got into her car, moving very slowly as she did. By the time she got into the car, Liam's car was already 600 feet away.
But just as she was about to speed up to catch up to Liam...
Bang! Boom!
Liam's car suddenly exploded violently!!
The entire car was instantly submerged in a sea of flames, which in turn caused a few passing cars nearby to also explode!
Nora could feel her car also shaking. Sound waves and the residual impact of the explosion assailed her from the front, the impact even cracked the windshield.
Half an hour later.
In the hospital.
Nora finished having her wounds dressed.
Fortunately, the windshield of the car she was driving had been modified into bulletproof glass, so it was relatively safe. But even so, parts of the windshield had still shattered and stabbed into her arm.
However, the other four or five cars around them were not as lucky.
Some of the people in the cars suffered burns that covered more than 70% of their skin while others were killed on the spot. There was even a family of three in one of the cars. Both parents had died and only the child in the back seat had survived. Even so, he had also
suffered burns.
Before he was administered anesthesia, he kept calling out for his parents... The doctors could only comfort him and tell him that his parents would be back soon.
The scene was simply too devastating and Nora couldn't help clenching her fists as she watched.
She really didn't expect that Spacey would plant a bomb on his own car. In addition, his mental resilience had also been much worse than she'd imagined.
To think he would start running about in a panic like a headless chicken...
She clenched her jaw. After her arm was bandaged, her cell phone rang.
