Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Hubert: “”!!”
In his earphone, Lawrence was still pressing him for details.
“How is it? Did you hear anything?”
“Y-yes, I did.”
“What are they doing? What are they saying?”
Hubert stared straight ahead of him in a daze as he replied, “Take off your clothes’.” “What?!”
Lawrence was dumbfounded. “It’s over, it’s all over. Boss has really been bewitched by that vixen! Ms. Smith is going to be abandoned!”
In the backseat.
Justin was also stunned for a second by Nora’s directness. Then, he broke into a smile, his eyes creasing, which seemed to even brighten the dim light in the car a little.
He remarked unhurriedly, “Mm? Are you that direct?”
However, he didn’t move.
Nora knew that the man was doing it on purpose this time to change the subject. Without saying another word, she reached out forcefully, grabbed Justin’s blazer, and took it off.
As soon as she removed the blazer, she saw that the color of the black shirt he was wearing was a little darker on his chest.
Nora’s pupils shrank, her keen senses detecting that those were bloodstains.
She yanked hard. With a loud rip, the silk shirt was torn open, revealing the white bandages wrapped around Justin.
The bandages were soaked with blood. It was apparent that it was either an old wound that had opened, or it was a fresh one.
She frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“It’s nothing.” Justin said impassively, “It’s just a small injury.”
Nora had already unraveled the dressing, upon which she saw an incision near where his heart was. Judging from its size, it was likely made in order to remove a bullet from within…
In other words, a bullet had scarcely grazed his heart.
Although she knew very well that the man survived, the mere thought that he might have died if the bullet had even so much as deviated by the scantest of lengths made the look in Nora’s eyes turn cold. Murderous intent abruptly burst forth from all around her, and she slowly asked, “What on earth happened?”
Her voice was trembling a little, the fearless woman found herself somewhat shaken at the moment.
Her children had indeed almost lost their father at one point.
Justin patted her on the head as if he was smoothing the fur of a cat close to becoming riled up. His voice was mellow and powerful as he replied, “It’s really nothing. It was just a little skirmish with the enemy.”
A little skirmish?
That so-called “little skirmish” had almost won him an appointment with Hades!
Seeing that Justin was about to speak again, Nora’s voice turned stern and she said, “I want the truth.”
She had never been a fragile flower who needed to be protected by a man.
Seeing her resolute eyes, a short silence later, Justin finally told her the truth. “A few days ago, the mysterious organization sent their men here.”
Nora’s eyes narrowed at once.
Right.
The mysterious organization had always been said to be extremely powerful. Even back in the United States, when Nora and Justin wanted to catch them, they’d been as slippery as eels and had withdrawn all their men there.
Nora only had a taste of how strong Barbarian was; she hadn’t yet come into direct contact with the mysterious organization’s armed forces.
Back when Barbarian came to steal the V16 at Staav University, Brenda’s men had surrounded the school. Despite that, Trueman had still sent just a weakling like Caleb.
Though Caleb had indeed given her a hand at the last moment, the truth was that throughout the fight for the gene serum, the mysterious organization’s armed forces had never once showed up!
She had been wondering why things had gone so smoothly. As it turned out, Justin had fended off the mysterious organization’s attacks for her.
She gazed at the man in front of her.
Back in the United States, he single-handedly held Barbarian back, tossed the clue to the gene serum to her, and then faked his death to direct all the conflicts to Barbarian.
This had made Barbarian everyone’s target.
After that, while everyone kept their eyes on Barbarian, thinking that he’d gotten his hands on the gene serum, she had sneaked into the university and retrieved the real gene serum.
He hadn’t made an appearance then either.
Later, Queenie had even griped about him pulling a disappearing act and leaving her and the children in the lurch.
She’d thought that he was either busy or injured, but as it turned out, he’d gone to eliminate all the remaining obstacles for her!
The man was no weaker than her, and he even had two assistants, Lawrence and Sean, by his side. As King, she believed that he even had his own armed forces. Yet, in spite of all that, he’d still nearly taken a shot to the heart from the mysterious organization.
Nora didn’t even need to probe him for details to imagine how dangerous it must have been!
Seeing that she had fallen silent, Justin said, “Um… Actually, I…”
“You don’t need to say any more.” Nora interrupted him. She checked the wound and found that the operation had been very successful. Even if she was the one performing the operation, all she’d have accomplished would just be a nicer suture and nothing else. She started to rummage through her bag.
As Black Cat, she had been carrying a backpack on her back the whole time.
Justin watched as the girl nearly poked her head all the way into the backpack as she rummaged through it with both hands. The edges of the backpack pushed her hair back, causing a few strands of hair to stand messily, which made her look rather adorable.
The warmth in his eyes deepened.
Since he became King, it had become a given that he’d have to go through perilous situations again and again.
Injuries were also commonplace. In the past, whenever he got hurt, he’d always feel lost and wonder what he was doing all this for. But now, it seemed that he had found his purpose in life.
He knew that she was no fragile flower, of course. That was why, back in the United States, he’d dared to fake his death and slip away so decisively. He had also left the Hunts to her with peace of mind without even so much as a word to her.
Sure enough, she lived up to his expectations and helped him protect the family.
Outside of the United States, he’d led his men to fight off the mysterious organization’s attacks, but in truth, how could he possibly be unaware of the danger she would be putting herself in at the university?
Despite that, he did not regard her as someone who needed protection; rather, he saw her as his comrade-in-arms and the other half in his life.
They joined forces to protect their three children, and watching over them as they grew up seemed to have given meaning to his life.
While he was thinking, Nora found the medicine he needed.
As Nora had to lead the team in the security assignment, she’d specially brought some medical supplies with her, so that it would be more convenient if she needed to treat any wounds. In the hotel, a fire had broken out on the upper floors. When the men at the lower floors besieged the two assailants, they hadn’t suffered any injuries, so the supplies had been left untouched.
She cleaned Justin’s wound with saline solution and then checked his sutures. After applying a salve on the wound, she gently dressed his wound once more.
As his wound was on his chest, her head was lowered as her hands went around Justin’s torso again and again.
Justin could see the top of the girl’s head. A few strands of her hair brushed across his skin, tickling him. He wanted to reach out and neaten her hair for her, and help her smooth out the two silly locks of hair standing upright atop her head.
But the moment he moved even a little, the girl would say fiercely, “Don’t move.”
He could only maintain the same posture.
By this time, the car had arrived at Justin’s residence. When the car stopped, Lawrence quickly hurried over. Though the car windows were covered with black films that prevented people on the outside from looking in, when Lawrence leaned in close, he could still spy two vague silhouettes.
That was when he saw the female silhouette pressed right against the male silhouette’s chest. Not only was she bobbing up and down, but she even ordered coldly, “Don’t move.”
Lawrence: “!!!”
Was that female bodyguard into such thrilling
stuff?!
No wonder his boss was overwhelmed! It was over, all over! Ms. Smith had been utterly defeated!
He was going to see just who on earth that woman seducing his boss was!
Lawrence stood right outside the car door and waited quietly for it to open.
At last, the people inside stopped what they were doing, and it quietened down.
A while later, the car door finally opened and the female bodyguard got out. However, she’d put on Black Cat’s mask again, rendering it impossible for anyone to see what she looked like.
Lawrence glared at her fiercely and then looked at the man in the car. However, even after a while, the man inside didn’t move. He couldn’t help but call out hesitantly, “Boss?”
