Charming Lady Hard To Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 982

"How did Trueman appear in the first place?"

Nora asked.

If Trueman refused to appear, then they would have no way of forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the V16. Moreover, Caleb was the primary personality, whereas Trueman had only appeared later on in his life.

Caleb sighed. "When I was ten years old, there was once when I was on the verge of death after being injected with the gene serum. It was then that he appeared, endured the pain, and helped me pull through..."

He pondered for a while before he suddenly said, "How about you beat me up? Until I'm about to die. He usually shows up at moments like that."

"That works..." said Lawrence as he eagerly rolled up his sleeves. However, Sean pulled him back.

Lawrence looked at him in bewilderment. "What's the matter? What are you pulling me back for? Surely it's not because you can't bear to hit him, right?"

Sean:

He glanced at Justin who thought for a moment before finally saying, "No, that won't do. What if we kill him?"

Caleb:

Nora ignored the two of them. As she stroked her chin, she started to ponder.

She was thinking about how they could force Trueman out.

"Let's just stay here tonight for now. You two, get a few men to search the place. Even if you must flip the whole place over, try and find the V16."

Justin ordered Sean and Lawrence.

The two nodded in unison.

After they left the room, Lawrence was still asking, "Why didn't Boss let us beat that guy up? Isn't this the best solution?"

Sean was awfully troubled over the man's IQ. He said, "Boss doesn't want Ms. Smith to owe Caleb any more favors!"

II II • • •

Of course, the people in the room did not hear the conversation between the two.

Justin was currently looking at Caleb. He asked, "Which room do you want to stay in?"

Caleb glanced at the room they were in and then at Xander who was asleep on the bed, the meaning of his actions obvious—he wanted to stay here.

He sighed and said, "It doesn't matter where I stay. I'm just afraid that Trueman would suddenly show up, causing you guys to miss the opportunity."
