In the vicinity of Horgen District, Switzerland.
Since Barbarian wanted to blow up Horgen District, that meant that the bomb must be installed somewhere close. However, Horgen District, which was considered a residential complex for the wealthy, was enormous and even contained a park. It wasn’t going to be easy to find the bomb that Barbarian had buried.
However, on this day, everyone in the vicinity of Horgen District went into action.
The couriers first investigated the list of items that had been delivered to the district during the past ten days.
The courier company’s network of people covered nearly the whole area and there were one or two employees who knew everyone in the district. However, nobody knew that all the courier deliveries in the vicinity were already under the monopoly of a company named Send Express, let alone know that Send Express was a subsidiary of NTT.
At the command of NTT’s boss, aka Queenie Schmidt, a secret showdown was quietly taking place out of sight.
In addition to the courier company, all the street sweepers also went into the district to clean the place. Based on the information sent by the couriers, they conducted a search in the district.
Added to this the fact that the officers on patrol were employees of a security company, the inconspicuous group came together to form a formidable force even greater than security cameras. In just the span of thirty minutes, they found the bomb.
The group immediately made a police report.
Nora, who was sitting in the laboratory, was rather speechless when she received the phone call.
“Why did you call the police instead of just dismantling it?” She asked.
Queenie scoffed. “I’m a good, law-abiding citizen, you know. They should be the ones doing this, in the first place. Why should I take care of it for them?”
Nora fell silent.
Queenie had professional bomb disposal experts in her team, yet she had to insist on making a police report instead.
The corners of her lips spasmed in speechlessness, upon which she heard another laugh from Queenie, who then added, “Besides, it’s not like Cherry is even there, so why should I waste my time and effort doing it? I’ve already made a great contribution by finding the bomb!”
That’s right.
The three children had left Horgen District a long time ago.
Given that Nora had not only wanted to send the children elsewhere but was also aware that her whereabouts were already exposed to Spacey, how would she possibly stop at something as simple as just driving them to another place?
She had sent her children to Horgen District by car the day before, but unbeknownst to outsiders, the houses in the district had underground passages through them that connected straight to the villas next door.
Cindy had been living in the villa next door all along. She drove the car out every day, so it hadn’t raised Liam’s suspicions at all when she sneaked the three children out.
After all, Nora had only just sent them to the district. Who would have thought that she would immediately transfer them elsewhere?
She had wanted the bomb to be defused because it was too powerful. Should it go off, it would bring harm to the people in the vicinity.
Queenie spoke again. “Tsk, the bomb has been defused. How are things on your end?”
Nora’s lips curled into a smile. “They still haven’t realized that they have been fooled. Don’t worry.”
Queenie chuckled softly and remarked dryly, “You wily little fox.”
Before she hung up, she said, “Cherry and the others are here with me. They are very safe, so you can put your mind at ease! You sure are fertile, though. To think you gave birth to three babies, are you actually a sow?”
Nora: “!”
The corners of her lips spasmed and she hung up on her.
The things that her aunt said simply sounded too awful.
