Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 51

Chapter 763: Luring the Snake out of the Cave

Zester stood rooted to the ground and looked at the people in the room in shock.

Justin stood there, but there were three people sitting on the sofa. They were Irene Smith, Will Black, and one other woman.

The hooligan beside her was still clamoring. “Let me tell you, this is Mr. Hunt’s friend, President Zester! He’s in charge of the Hunt Corporation in California. Furthermore, he’s from the Irvin School of Martial Arts. You actually dared to attack us just now. You’re too much. You’re dead!”

With that, he looked at Zester and pointed at Justin. “President Zester, it was this bodyguard who attacked me just now!”

Zester:”…”

He rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, “Why does this bodyguard look so much like Big Brother?”

Justin: “…”

Nora: “…”

Nora originally thought that this Zester might have something to do with the gene serum or was ordered by someone. But at this moment, looking at his silly appearance, she could not help but twitch her lips.

Yes, she had solved the case.

This Zester must have been deceived.

After all, such a foolish person could not have been sent by the mysterious organization as a spy.

When the hooligan heard this, he said in surprise, “President Zester, this person is good-looking and handsome. I already said that it was Mr. Hunt’s order to get those things, but he refused to listen. He’s clearly not taking Mr. Hunt seriously. You have to teach him a lesson!”

Justin could not be bothered to beat around the bush with them. He directly looked at Zester and asked, “Who asked you to come here?”

Zester was stunned. “This person’s voice is the same as Big Brother’s!”

Justin: !!

His expression changed as he reprimanded, “Zester West!”

Zester shivered and immediately jumped up. “F*ck! It really is Big Brother… No, why are you here? And why did you smile at me just now? You smiled so much that I didn’t even recognize you! You should be more fierce to me. That’s more familiar!”

Zester was really a little stunned earlier. In his impression, his Big Brother had always been very serious. Who asked him to smile just now? It made him unable to be recognized.

Justin: “…”

How could he not smile at Nora’s aunt?!

His expression darkened. He felt that this junior was too stupid. He took a deep breath and continued, “Who sent you to ask for these things?”

Zester: “It was you…”

After saying that, when he saw Nora, his eyes flashed. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Oh, I understand. Justin, are you planning to help Nora do something? In the end, your flattery fell on deaf ears? Alright, I’ll help you shoulder the responsibility. You didn’t order me to do it. I wanted it myself! I’m a good brother, right?!”

Justin could not be bothered to speak anymore and slapped his head. “When did ever I order you to do this?”

One had to use a stupid method against an i***t.

As expected, Zester finally said something useful. “You sent me an email! You even sent me a voice message. Have you forgotten? You’re so young, but you’re already so forgetful?”

Justin suppressed the urge to kick him away. “Let me see the email and voice message!”

Zester nodded and took out his phone to open the email. Sure enough, it was from Justin’s account.

Justin narrowed his eyes.

His email had not been used much recently, but there had always been a firewall. There were only two or three people in the world who could break through his firewall, so it would be easy to find.

Zester found the voice message and played it for him.

The voice inside was very similar to Justin’s, but he was sure he had not said these words.

Justin narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, Nora walked over and took Zester’s phone. She also looked at them. Nora said, “The voice is synthesized. Someone recorded parts of your voice to make this.”

Justin raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Heard one’s own recorded voice would feel a little unfamiliar, of course. It was difficult to judge.

He did not expect Nora to be so familiar with his voice.

Nora did not know why this man was smiling at her. She opened his email again and checked it before saying, “Why does this firewall look so familiar?”

Justin stood behind her. “Yes, how can you not be familiar with your own creation?”

Nora: “?”

She then realized that the method to break through Justin’s firewall was really something she used often, and there were also traces of her using it.

But!

How could she have hacked Justin’s email and sent something to Zester?

She frowned. “There are two possibilities either the other party learned my method, or he used my software.”

Justin nodded.

After a moment of silence, they looked at Zester in unison.

“Who did I tell you to give these things to?”

“Who did Justin ask you to give these things to?”

Zester, who was being questioned by the two of them at the same time, was even more stunned. He looked at the two of them in a daze and said weakly, “Wasn’t it supposed to be sent to Big Brother?”

“What’s the address?”

“Just, just the villa at Big Brother’s home in New York!”

The villa at home…

Could it be that the person who had arranged for this was in the Hunt's?

However, the Hunt's had just been cleaned up by Justin. The servants in the house had also been cleaned up. This kind of problem should no longer exist.

Therefore, the person who wanted to find info about V16 from the book her mother had left behind could not be at the Hunt's.

If he was not at the Hunt's, then…

Delivery!

_

Half an hour later, Zester walked out with a box full of books. After he went out, he immediately called a delivery company to collect the mail to New York.

Soon, the courier came and received his parcel before leaving with it.

The delivery man put away the package. There was still another parcel to collect, so he did not stay long. However, he did not notice that after he left, three people came out of the house and followed behind him sneakily.

The delivery man did not care much about the package. He threw the package into his car and drove to the next house to receive the package.

When he went upstairs, the express car was parked outside.

Not many people passed by this time in the district.

Nora and Justin stood in an obscure corner not far away.

Zester looked at the two of them and was very puzzled. “Big Brother, Nora, what are you doing here?”

Almost as soon as he said this, a person on a motorcycle suddenly came to the courier car. Then, he pulled out a box of books and threw them into the courier car. Then, he took out the parcel from the Black's.

His movements were so fast that if they had not been staring, they would not have realized it at all!

“Catch him!”

Chapter 764: The Mastermind Revealed

Zester was simple-minded. Although he did not understand what they were doing, he rushed out when he heard this.

The person on the motorcycle wearing a helmet thought that he was undetected. He turned a corner and was about to leave when he saw a burly man suddenly crawl out from behind the grass and pounce on him, scaring him.

He hurriedly turned the accelerator and wanted to rush over, but although Zester looked huge, he was very agile. After all, he was a member of the Irvin School of Martial Arts. He grabbed the handle of the motorcycle and jumped to the side of the motorcycle. Then, he let go of the handle, grabbed the person’s shoulder, and pulled hard.

The front wheel of the motorcycle instantly went high up and the back wheel spun on the spot. In the blink of an eye, the motorcycle flipped over, and the person was dragged off the motorcycle. The motorcycle dropped to the grass beside him and the person on it was successfully caught by Zester.

The battle seemed intense, but Zester held the advantage.

Only then did Nora and Justin walk over slowly. Zester pulled down the helmet of the motorcycle owner. It was a fifteen-year-old child!

The child spat. “Consider me unlucky to have fallen into your hands!”

Nora frowned. “Who asked you to steal things?”

The child pursed his lips. “No one. I just like to play. What’s wrong?”

Nora still wanted to speak, but Justin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, pressing him hard against the ground. A dagger fell with a clang.

Nora narrowed her eyes.

She had thought that this child was just a thief and had been instructed by someone. After all, he was really too young. She did not expect him to be hiding a dagger.

The moment the dagger fell, the child was suddenly turned around and had his arm pinned down by Justin. In a seemingly inhuman way, he pulled his arm away from the opposite direction.

Then, he stood up and turned to run out.

His movements were smooth and flowed like water. Zester did not react at all and the child broke free.

The child ran very quickly. It was almost as fast as a 100-meter sprint. As he ran, he turned back and made a funny face at Nora.

He looked very arrogant!

If it was anyone else, this child would definitely have kept running. Unfortunately for him, Nora and Justin were also present.

Nora did not move.

Justin threw a small stone he had been playing with in his hand.

Bang!

The little stone hit an acupuncture point on the boy’s knee, causing his knees to weaken. He fell to the ground and landed on his face.

“Ah!”

When the boy fell, Zester had already caught up to him and he grabbed him again.

This time, Nora and Justin did not interrogate him. Instead, they brought him into the car and tied him up.

Zester drove while the little boy had his hands and feet tied to the backseat.

Nora squatted down beside him and pulled up his sleeve. She saw that there were indeed many needle marks on his arm.

She studied it carefully and wanted to search the boy’s body again, but she was stopped by Justin. She looked at Justin hesitantly and saw his eyes drift as he said, “I’ll do it.”

Nora: “…”

No way. She was only searching his body, but this man was still jealous.

She smirked and raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, looking like she had seen through Justin’s scheme, but she still moved aside.

Justin did not speak, but his ears turned red. He coughed before searching the boy’s body. Soon, he found a medicine in his pocket.

Nora had a serious expression. She opened the medicine bottle and took a sniff. Then, she said with certainty, “Indeed, he’s been injected with a genetic improvement agent.”

She had learned this from the special department.

The word gene serum only applied to the correct formula of V1-V16. Currently, not many people in the world had injected this serum.

However, these potions, the ones that improved strength, had all kinds of hidden side effects. These imperfect potions could only be called gene improvement agents.

These injections were all unorthodox. They were extremely harmful to the body and only allowed one to obtain temporary strength.

The drug that Yvonne had been injected with was a gene improvement agent. If one did not adjust the amount of this medicine well, they would hemorrhage and die. Even if they did not hemorrhage, those who had been injected with the medicine could only live for two years.

It was not like the real gene serum. If Trueman got the V16, his DNA would be improved and he would become the first person in the world with a perfect genetic chain!

“Return the medicine to me!”

Seeing that Nora had opened the medicine, the boy roared angrily. Although his hands and feet were tightly bound, he twisted them with all his might.

Seeing how agitated he was, Nora asked, “Where did you get this?”

The boy shouted, “I spent a lot of money on this before Jude gave it to me. Return it to me!”

Jude?

Nora narrowed her eyes. “Who is Jude?”

She suddenly felt like she had found an underground network!

The boy sneered. “I know. You want to buy medicine from Jude, right? Then let go of me. Or else I won’t take you there!”

Hearing his words, Nora and Justin looked at each other and did not speak.

Soon, Zester brought the two of them to a villa in California.

The Hunts’ old residence was in California, so Justin naturally had a place there. This villa was very big. Not long after the two of them entered, Howard swaggered in as he looked at his younger brother from his second grandfather’s family in the old residence.

As soon as he entered, he shouted loudly, “Justin, you’re too much. Why didn’t you inform me that you were coming to California?”

Justin ignored him and looked at Nora, gesturing for him to greet her.

However, Howard touched his hooked nose and ignored Nora. He only asked, “Justin, where’s that weakling of yours? Doesn’t he follow you wherever you go? Why isn’t he here?”

Hearing this, Nora looked up. “Who is this weakling?”

“Pete! He’s so small and doesn’t deserve to be my brother’s son at all!” Howard was Justin’s crazy fan.

He had always protected and admired him unconditionally.

However, Howard felt that it was his humiliation that Justin had a son with autism!

Pete was not fit to be his brother’s son!

Moreover!

Howard glanced at Nora disdainfully.

This woman looked fragile. How was she different from those young ladies of wealthy families in the city? She was clearly spoiled.

Other than having a good family background, what else about her could match up to Justin?

In this world, the only person who could match up to his brother was Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister!

Chapter 765: Protect Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister?

When Howard thought of this, he suddenly reacted and glared at Nora. “Did you scold me just now?”

Nora raised her eyebrows and shrugged. She did not say anything.

Of course, she would retaliate when someone scolded her son. She was not so easygoing where anyone could pinch her cheeks.

Howard was instantly furious and wanted to rush forward to beat her up, but he had just taken a step closer to Nora when Justin’s bright eyes swept over, scaring Howard.

Howard was a boor.

He had been immersed in martial arts since he was young. He had a strong masculine aura and was fundamentally opposite of the Irvin School of Martial Arts’ teachings. Therefore, Irvin had never taken him in as a disciple.

Moreover, Howard was a die-hard fan of the Quinn School of Martial Arts, so Quinn would ignore him even more.

Justin did not care that Howard was furious and asked, “You came at the right time. Do you know Jude?”

When it came to a serious matter, Howard calmed down. He sat opposite Justin and said, “I’ve heard of him. Jude’s dark power rose under California this month. I’m involved in some of it, so I know a little. This person came less than half a month ago and already has a group of loyal supporters. I heard that it’s because he has a secret drug that can make people stronger. Now, he’s quite powerful in California. I’m also thinking of meeting him!”

With that, Howard touched his chin and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, is there really such a medicine? It can make people stronger? If I get some, will Quinn take me as his disciple?”

Justin: “I don’t know if he’ll accept you as his disciple, but if you really eat it, I’ll have to come to California again in two years.”

Howard: “Why?”

“To collect your corpse.”

Howard was speechless for a moment before he sighed. “When I heard about it, I was indeed tempted. But after some thought, I realized how could a person become stronger just like that? There must be a price to pay. Besides, I still despise people who rely on drugs to become stronger.”

Howard was a reckless person obsessed with martial arts. He wanted to become stronger and had a dream.

However, he was also stubborn and had his own pride.

Fortunately, he did not rush to court death.

Justin suddenly asked, “Do you know Jude’s stronghold?”

“Of course.”

“How many people do you have?”

Howard immediately patted his chest and said, “Justin, in California, you can have as many as you want!”

Justin nodded. “Ok, get our men prepared. We’ll destroy their nest tonight!”

“Okie-Dokie!”

With that, Howard turned around and left, calling for help.

After he left, Justin looked at Nora with a stern expression.

Nora thought about it and suddenly asked, “Do we need to tell Morris?”

After all, Morris was from the special department. It was more appropriate for him to handle such matters. The secret organization and the gene serum were both being investigated by the special department.

Justin was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright.”

Nora picked up her phone and informed Morris about the plan.

It was illegal for them to fight in private, but if Morris came, they would be assisting the officials.

After receiving her call, Morris immediately sent someone over.

At night, a group of people gathered in an abandoned steel factory in California. Morris and Brenda rushed over quickly, but the other members of the special department had not arrived yet.

Howard led more than a hundred people and was explaining to Justin, “These are all men we trained with. Justin, command them without any worries!”

The group of people instantly stood up for Justin. They shouted in unison, “Big Brother!”

Justin: “…”

Nora: “…”

It looked a little like a gangster meeting.

Nora felt that it was funny.

However, the next moment, Howard suddenly pointed his spear at her. “Justin, why did you bring her here?”

Nora: “?”

She raised her eyebrows but before she could say anything, Brenda said unhappily, “Who is she!? Howard, why have you been so rude since your childhood? Or don’t you know that she’s Justin’s wife? Shouldn’t you be calling her Sister-in-law?”

Howard pursed his lips. “Get lost. What right does a woman like you have to order me around?”

Brenda sneered. “Because I can beat you down!”

Howard was momentarily at a loss for words.

Other than Justin, Brenda was the only one in the Hunt's who could fight. Otherwise, she would not have been able to work with Interpol.

However, Howard said coldly, “I can’t argue with you, but it doesn’t matter if you come. After all, you can fight. What is she doing here? Is she here to hold us back? There will be many clashes there. It will be a real fight. Who will protect her?”

“I can protect Nora. Besides, there’s Justin too. Why are you such a busybody?”

Brenda defended.

Howard sneered. “You’re protecting her? Is your mission here to protect her? Besides, Justin, how can you use you protect her? There are so many of us here to protect you! A woman who doesn’t know martial arts must be bored. Is she joking?”

Brenda continued to defend her. “But Nora knows medicine. She’s our forensic doctor!”

“Forensics doesn’t charge into battle. Besides, we’re here to catch people today, not to see a doctor. Are you kidding me? People should know their limits. Keep her here obediently, lest she pisses her pants in fear and blames me later!”

Brenda was furious. “If Justin wants to bring her, what can you do about it? Or do you want to rebut his decision too? Are you disobedient? Besides, as a man, shouldn’t he protect his woman? Justin, tell me, should I let Nora in?”

Justin watched as the two of them argued. Howard’s words were simply laughable. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Okay, I’ll protect Nora.”

Nora: “…”

What kind of stupidity was this?

She raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly but did not speak. She could not be bothered to argue with this retard.

However, Howard did not give up. “See, Justin? You should find a wife like Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister. No matter what you do in the future, she won’t hold you back! Even if this woman can’t compare to her, she should at least learn some fancy martial arts, right?”

Nora: “???”

Howard took a deep breath and walked to Justin and Nora’s side. He waved his hand. “Let’s go!”

Forget it. He would help protect the person his brother liked!

He would have to take the opportunity to take a photo of this woman’s frightened and crying appearance and make his brother despise her!
