Chapter 843

While Nora was wondering about it curiously, Caleb coughed and said, “Forget it, I won’t say it anymore.”

“…”

The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed a little and she suspected that Caleb was playing her for a fool.

Seemingly sensing her displeasure, Caleb chuckled lowly and said, “I really can’t bring myself to say it. If
I ever see you again in this lifetime, I will tell you in person.”

Caleb had returned to the mysterious organization this time as the special department’s spy.

He only had two months left to live.

In fact, if his lung cancer worsened, he might not even have two months.

Therefore, he didn’t know when he would be able to return to America and see Nora again.

Nora realized what he meant, so she said, “We will meet for sure.”

“Hopefully.”

Caleb was about to speak again when a shrill voice suddenly came from the far end of the phone. “Who
are you calling, hiding here?”

It was Trueman!

Nora frowned, worried about Caleb.

“No one in particular.” Caleb’s voice was calm and he didn’t seem to be nervous at all.

“Oh? Heh, show me!”



The sound of people fighting over the phone came from the other side. Caleb said anxiously, “Give me
back the phone!”

Trueman scoffed. “Am I not allowed to know who you’re on the phone with? I’m going to see what you’re
doing behind my back!”

After that, Trueman must have looked at the phone and seen her name, because he sneered and said,
“My little servant?”

Nora ignored him but Trueman said with a sneer, “Oh my, I didn’t expect you two to keep in contact even
after you’ve separated. Why? Is my little servant interested in my little sidekick? Or…”

His voice suddenly turned frosty. “… has my little sidekick betrayed me? And turned to you

guys?”

Nora wanted to make up an excuse but before she could speak, Caleb sighed and said, “She was just
asking me a few personal questions.” “What kind of questions?” Trueman was pushy and aggressive.
“And personal ones at that? Ha, are the two of you even that close?”

Seeing this, Nora did not speak. Caleb continued speaking in an even-tempered manner. He said, “She
was asking me about the five people who survived back then and what they are like. She wants to find
Barbarian and avenge Justin.”

His story seemed to have convinced Trueman.

He scoffed and said, “My little servant, you want to seek revenge? I’d advise you not to fantasize about
that! It’s impossible for you to contend with Barbarian when you only have a normal person’s strength!”



After he spoke, he asked, “Did you tell her what Barbarian’s genetic modification is?”

Caleb replied, “Yeah, I did.”

Trueman uttered an “oh” and then asked, “And Listener and Spacey’s?”

“I told her.”

“Tsk.” Trueman smacked his lips softly and remarked, “You sure tell her everything you know! Do you like
her that much?”

Nora was a little taken aback to hear this.

She looked at the phone in astonishment, upon which she heard Caleb’s prompt rejection. “Don’t talk
nonsense, she and I are just friends.”

Trueman scoffed. “Just friends? From when we were children all the way till now, I have never seen you
care so much about any friend. Caleb, don’t forget who you are! Do you have any right to be in love with
someone?”

Nora slowly frowned.

Caleb was in love with her?

How could this be? How few times in total have they met?

She was about to speak when Caleb denied it. “I don’t, I know very well who I am. I just feel guilty
towards Ms. Smith, that’s all! After all, the Grays didn’t manage to protect her back then.”

Trueman scoffed again. “You say one thing but mean another. You’re really very dull. You are already
about to die yet you still don’t have the courage to express your feelings!”





Caleb had really panicked this time. “Trueman, shut up!”

After saying that, he hurriedly explained, “Nora, don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Nora was a little embarrassed. “… Okay.”

Although she had been confessed to by many others, she really hadn’t expected Caleb to fall for her.

She shook her head, dismissing the idea.

Then she heard Trueman say, “You guys are so boring. Forget it. My little servant, Barbarian’s body has
been improved to the greatest extent. He can not only control every muscle with finesse but he can also
lift a thousand pounds! Even if you are the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister, compared to him, you
still have lots more to work on! If you really want to avenge Justin, then there is only one way.”

Nora lowered her eyes. “What is it?”

Trueman suddenly laughed. “Training with

me.”

Nora: “?”

Trueman asked, “Do you know which genes of mine were improved?”

Nora shook her head. “No.”

Trueman laughed. “It’s longevity!”

Nora: “?”



Trueman said slowly, “Once humans live for a long enough time, don’t they all pursue longevity? The
gene serum I was injected with improves precisely this gene. You and I won’t be able to beat Barbarian
in a fight even if we team up but we can wear him down until he dies!”

The joke really was not funny at all.

Trueman, however, suddenly said seriously, “Do you think I’m joking? I’m not. What do you think a
person pursues after they have earned enough money? Don’t kings and people with high social status
eventually all pursue immortality? Barbarian’s boost in physical strength and Spacey’s boost in
intelligence are all nonsense in the face of longevity! Why do you think the mysterious organization
studied human genes in the first place? It was precisely for longevity!” Nora: “!”

“My little servant, is the information I told you today enough? Heh, are you considering joining us now?
Once we find the V16, we will crack the code of human longevity!”

Nora curled her lip. “I’m not interested in longevity.”

“Tsk.”

Trueman curled her lip and said no more to her. Instead, he said, “Caleb, I’ve found news of Barbarian.
Go to him and bring me back the clue to V16, or V16 itself!”

“Where is he?” asked Caleb.

Nora’s ears pricked up too.

However, Trueman hung up the phone at this moment!

Nora: “…”

Trueman had definitely brought up Barbarian’s whereabouts on purpose without telling her the answer.



Nora put aside thoughts of Barbarian for now and began to think about the person who had hacked into
Mrs. Long’s cell phone. If she wasn’t wrong, he must be Spacey.

But why would Spacey do that?

Did he just want to use Mrs. Long to give her some painless annoyance?

Was there any point in doing that?

Nora couldn’t figure out what Spacey was thinking, so she could only put down the phone.

She was a little curious about Caleb’s improved genes and why it was so difficult for him to speak of it.

—

The next day, when Nora went to class, the counselor walked in with a bespectacled man. “Guys, this is
our school’s newly-hired professor. Please welcome him, everyone.”

Nora: “…”

As she looked at Caleb’s familiar and gentle face as he stood on the podium, she suddenly curled her
lips into a smile.

Caleb did a self-introduction. Then, when his gaze swept across the students, the moment he saw Nora,
he paused slightly-obviously, he had no idea that Nora was here!

With this though, Nora had also confirmed something.

Trueman had ordered Caleb to find Barbarian. Since Caleb had shown up here, this meant that
Barbarian was at Staav University.

Besides, now that they had met, she would also be able to know about Caleb’s improved genes.
