Xander looked at Trueman.
He grinned at him, revealing two little canine teeth.
Trueman's eyes reddened.
Although he had received the V16 injection and survived —which made him selfishly feel happy for himself—now that he was truly faced with the moment of separation, Trueman suddenly understood something he had read on the Internet:
"If one could exchange their life for another's, or if one could make a wish with their death as the price, then there would probably be a lot of mothers and fathers in Heaven."
Though Xander was not his biological son, he had brought him up for five years and watched him grow from a tiny infant to the big boy he was now. How could Trueman possibly bear to part with him?
He reached out and stroked Xander's head. "You're such a silly boy."
Xander took his hand. "Daddy Trueman, don't do anything illegal anymore. Mommy works with the special department, so she is authorized to arrest you... Daddy is also very fierce. He will be watching you too."
Xander looked at Trueman intently. "Can you promise me that?"
Xander's words stunned Trueman.
Faced with the child's clear and pristine eyes, Trueman's lips curled into a smile. "Okay."
Hearing his reply, relief flooded Xander.
Although Daddy Trueman was not a good man, he always kept his word and never lied...
After talking to him, Xander returned to Nora's side.
Trueman looked at Nora and Justin and asked, "What do the two of you intend to do about me?"
Trueman could be said to be an out-and-out villain.
Over the years, he had led the mysterious organization to commit a lot of crimes. Besides, he was not like Caleb who had pushed the blame for all the crimes on him—he was indeed a villain.
Nora and Justin exchanged a look.
Justin replied, "I will get you out of here, but everything else that happens after is out of my hands."
The special department was still searching for him all over the world and trying to capture him. Although the mysterious organization had been dissolved, as its leader, Trueman would remain a wanted criminal for the rest of his life.
To be honest, Nora and Justin had the option of handing over Trueman directly to the special department.
However, Trueman had saved Xander twice and even Pete too...
These two reasons were more than enough to hold back Nora and Justin from doing something like that.
Trueman nodded and got up. "We don't owe each other anything anymore."
Justin said, "The car is right outside." Justin didn't want to see him anymore, not even for another minute or second...
Trueman nodded and headed straight for the door. But halfway through, he suddenly turned to look at Justin. "By right, I can be considered your elder brother, which would then make Nora my sister-in-law. I have something to ask her. You don't mind, right?"
