Queenie sneered and said, "I don't know who you are, nor do I know whose side you are on, but I'm going to tell you this: don't waste your breath. I'm not going to betray the mysterious organization. My family is still in their hands..."
Caleb became anxious when he heard this. He said, "I can help you rescue your family, I—"
But before he could finish, Queenie scoffed and said, "You? Who do you think you are? Are you Trueman? Or are you very powerful? If you could rescue my family, why would you be the mysterious organization's lackey?
I told you, if you spout any more nonsense, I will tell my master what you said. You should know very well what your outcome would be when that happens!"
Caleb fell silent.
After a while, he sighed.
It was at this moment that Queenie's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and then answered the call, putting the phone on speaker. "Hello."
"Hah, you should have met my subordinate by now, right?"
Queenie glanced at Caleb and replied, "Yes."
"Okay. Hand the V16 to Caleb now! He will guard the V16 the whole way there!"
As soon as he said that, Queenie's pupils shrank.
Nora frowned.
Through the rearview mirror, she looked at Caleb, who was sitting in the backseat. His eyes were widened and he also seemed awfully surprised, but a brief moment later, he thought of something and heaved a silent sigh.
Trueman trusted Caleb very much all along. This must also put Caleb under a lot of pressure, right?
After all, he had betrayed his best friend, who was also someone he had grown up with.
Nora did not say anything.
Caleb, however, suddenly thought of something. He clenched his fists and suddenly said, "Give me the V16!"
Queenie didn't want to. She said, "Why should I? What if the mysterious organization doesn't free my parents and sister after you take the V16?"
On the phone, Trueman sneered and said, "Do you believe me when I say that I will kill your parents and younger sister immediately if you don't give it to him?"
Queenie instantly fell silent.
As for Caleb, he picked up his cell phone and secretly sent a text message to someone.
Nora's phone vibrated. With her back to Caleb, she secretly took out her cell phone, where she saw that Caleb had sent the message to her.
It read: 'I am with Queenie right now. Black Cat is protecting her along with a few other bodyguards at the moment. Black Cat is very strong, but I am trying to get my hands on the V16. If I can trick Queenie, I will find a way to get out of the car after I get the V16. You must be chasing after Queenie right now, right? When the time comes, coordinate with me and take the V16 away.'
Nora:
She knew it was odd that Caleb would take the initiative to demand the V16. As it turned out, it was for her sake.
She put one hand on the steering wheel and used her other hand to secretly reply to the text message: 'I am following you guys nearby. It'd be too obvious if you give me the V16 after getting it. Aren't you afraid that Trueman would see through you?'
