The phone call went silent. Trueman did not hang up.
He smiled on the other end and said, "Little servant, I've finally made you obedient. Hahaha, Xander really is my good son. He made you so obedient."
Nora sat on the bus very calmly. "Can you let me talk to Xander for a while?"
She knew that Trueman liked her being obedient, so her tone was very tactful.
Indeed, 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 seemed to not know what to say.
Nora's heart clenched slightly. She slowly said, "Xander..."
Her words made Xander choke even harder as he cried, "Mommy, I'm sorry!"
Nora quickly comforted him. "You don't have to apologize. There's no need to be sorry. 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 so many years. Xander, you're the child I feel most guilty towards."
Xander was definitely shocked, angry, and guilty.
The child was very kind. He knew that his stupidity had put his mother in danger. Xander said, "Mommy, don't worry about me. Daddy won't do anything to me. He has always been very good to me..."
Over the years, although Xander had lived in the basement, it was obvious from how Xander had dared to rebut Ruth that his status in the mysterious organization was still very high.
At least Trueman had not abused him.
When Xander said this, before Nora could say anything, Trueman's sharp voice said with a hint of evilness, "That's not necessarily true- My good son, I treated you well previously only to get you to 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 what I'll do to you. Of course, beating you up is impossible. At most, I'll starve you. I think it won't be good if you don't eat for three days, right?"
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 said such ruthless words.
She was usually very low-key and tolerant. She was also very indifferent to others, but at this moment, she was really angry.
However, Trueman did not back down just because she was angry. He smiled and said, "Little servant, is this the attitude you should have when talking to your master?"
Nora bit her lips.
After a while, she said,"... Please."
"Heh, this is simply too enjoyable!" Trueman laughed out loud. "Your mother Yvette was a stubborn person. The mysterious organization couldn't do anything to her. For so many years, they could only set traps and slowly wait for the V16 to fall in their laps. Compared to your mother, you're really better. You refused to admit defeat so many times... Little servant, if you knew this would happen, why did you do this in the first place? If you had submitted to the mysterious organization and me from the beginning, wouldn't Xander and I each have had one of the two serums now? As for Listener and whoever, they weren't worthy!"
Nora remained silent and did not argue.
Xander was in Trueman's hands, so she had to tread carefully. She asked, "Where do you want me to go? Where are you? If I come looking for you, you'd definitely want to see me submit to you, right?"
"Ha, little servant, you're already good at guessing your master's thoughts- Not bad, keep going like this! This is how you read my mind!"
Nora:"... Your voice still hasn't improved."
"It's okay. When we meet, I'll allow you to 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 bus stop."
The bus would not halt until it reached the stop.
Trueman smiled. "As the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts, this shouldn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Nora took a deep breath and suddenly stood up. Sitting beside her was a tall man. When he saw her stand up, he was a little stunned. He reminded her, "We haven't
reached the stop yet."
Nora ignored him and opened the window.
The next moment, she held her hands up and her entire body slipped out the window.
Thud!
After landing, Nora rolled away to reduce her momentum. She immediately stood up neatly and looked around, causing everyone on the bus to stare at her in amusement.
"Martial arts!"
"How awesome!"
"So strong!"
After showing off her skills, Nora did not have any time to listen to these people's praise. She walked away as per the instructions on the phone.
