She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 768 I Don’t Need It

Howard was greatly alarmed. In his opinion, the person whom he had intercepted was likely the strongest among

the seven.

Although he didn’t like his sister-in-law very much, for Justin’s sake, he couldn’t let her get hurt either.

Was that guy running up to Nora to take her hostage and force everyone into retreating?

What bad luck!

He knew it, women were trouble. Why did she have to come?

As soon as the thought formed, he stepped forward to rush over. But his leg had only just reached out when he saw

the man reaching towards Nora.

At some point, there was already a dagger in his hand. He jabbed it right at Nora’s neck.

“Don’t move! Or I’ll—”.

But before he could say “kill her”, Nora had suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed his wrist, and exerted a little

force.

Crack!

The dagger in the man’s hand fell to the ground, and his wrist emitted a crisp snap.

Howard had just beaten up the man, but even all the pain he’d suffered just now couldn’t compare to the sharp

pain he was currently feeling. The pain made him turn limp, and he slumped onto his knees in front of Nora.

To everyone, Nora seemed to just be holding his wrist lightly. With her eyes slightly raised, she slowly asked in a low

voice, “Are you getting down on your knees to beg me for mercy? That’s not quite appropriate, is it?”

The whole place was quiet.

Even the thug had fallen into a daze from the pain. He looked at Nora in astonishment. Where on earth did the

delicate woman get all that physical strength from?

On the other side, Howard looked at them in astonishment. He swallowed and looked at his men. “… So, she really

was the one who… beat all those men just now?”

His men, who only knew fancy moves, lined up in a row and then silently took a step back in unison so that they

were all one step further away from Nora. Then, they nodded together.

Howard: “…”

By the time the situation here was resolved, Justin had also finished dealing with Jude. At this time, Morris and

Brenda also rushed over from the other two entrances.

By then, Nora had already let go of the last man’s hand. The man’s wrist was drooping limply, his bones obviously

fractured.

Upon seeing the men collapsed on the floor beside Nora, Brenda raced towards her at once and sent the man with

the limp wrist flying with a kick. She glared at Howard furiously and demanded, “What’s wrong with you? How can

you let him rush all the way up to Nora? What if he scared her?”

She held Nora’s hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, Nora! I’m here!”

Howard: “…”

His lips moved. He wanted to explain, but before he could say anything, Nora glanced over at him, scaring Howard

so badly that he shut up at once.

Nora didn’t want Brenda to know that she was very strong. After all, she found Brenda’s protection of her very

heartwarming.

Howard, who looked like he was in a huge dilemma, shouldered the “blame” and said, “It… it was my mistake!”

Brenda: “?”

She and Howard had always been fighting with each other. Why was he suddenly giving in this time?

However, she didn’t want to spare too much thought on those issues at the moment. After she held Nora’s hand,

she looked at Justin and complained, “Justin, why didn’t you stop him?”

Justin: “…”

“Alright, alright.” Nora patted Brenda’s hand comfortingly. After she calmed her sister-in-law down, her gaze swept

across the people present. Howard’s men immediately straightened their backs and shivered in unison.

Nora’s gaze then swept across the people on the floor. Her little sidekicks immediately reacted and they walked

over to arrest everyone lying on the floor and escort them out.

After tying them all up, Brenda said, “Nora, we’ve found their R&D base. I will take you there now.”

Nora nodded.

To be honest, she’d always wanted to see how these gene-improvement solutions with unknown chemical

components were made. But when she entered their laboratory with Brenda, she found that everything there was

very plain and crude.

This was no R&D base at all!

“What’s going on?”

Brenda turned to the side and grabbed Jude.

After Jude was arrested, he had known right away that there was no escape for him. He immediately explained,

“We actually don’t have a base or anything like that. These gene-improvement solutions are just diluted versions of

the gene serum!”

Nora: “…”

Everyone: “…”

After they had put in so much time and effort, the truth was actually so dull?

And here they thought they had caught a den of thieves that manufactured gene serums!

“Where did you get the gene serum from?” Morris asked, his voice low and serious.

An honest and obedient Jude explained, “I bought it. We have a sales channel abroad where we can buy pure gene

serums. The diluted serums don’t cause too much harm to ordinary people’s bodies.”

“They only have two years left to live, yet you’re saying the serums don’t cause too much harm to the body?”

Morris frowned.

Jude said cautiously, “The gene serum can only be used on children. Adults can’t withstand it at all, they will explode

and die immediately. But once it’s diluted, their genes can still be improved a little… Besides, there are statistics

that show that some people have survived past two years…”

“What happened after the two years?”

“… They lived for another half a month.”

Brenda sneered, “You are pretty smart, aren’t you? Using the gene serum on yourself while giving others the gene-

improvement solution instead. You’re purely just harming people!”

“No, no!” Jude was very honest. “How would I be worthy of using the gene serum? I’m also using the diluted gene-

improvement solution. I… need money, my child has a terminal illness, but the medical fees cost more than one

hundred thousand dollars. Only if I used the gene-improvement solution on myself would I have been able to

convince the others that I have become stronger, and only then could I sell the gene-improvement solution… I

didn’t have any other choice…”

His words stunned everyone present. All of them looked at him in disbelief.

Even Nora and Justin exchanged a look.

They’d initially thought that Jude was likely one of the five children who had survived the experiments back then,

but little did they expect that he actually wasn’t?

No wonder he was so easygoing!

Jude’s martial arts prowess just now, though… He had kept Justin occupied for three minutes all by himself!

At present, there were actually large skill gaps in martial artists in the country.

Apart from Irvin and Quinn, the strongest were Big Brother and Big Sister. The other disciples didn’t have bodies

well-suited for martial arts. Moreover, in these modern times, no one would work that hard to practice martial arts,

either.

As a result, apart from a few top martial artists, the rest were all rather mediocre.

This was also the reason why Big Brother and Big Sister were so popular in the circle, as well as why their statuses

were unopposed!

Because there were very few in America who could even last ten moves with Justin!

The diluted gene-improvement solution alone could improve a person’s physical constitution this much. In that

case, just how strong would people who had been injected with gene serums, and whose genes had truly been

improved, be?

Nora and Justin suddenly felt that even they might not be their opponents’ match should they encounter them!

Their hearts sank.

It was also in this instant, in the face of absolute power, that Nora finally realized how terrifying the gene serum

was.

No wonder even her mother had been driven into a corner and chose to die back then.

Her expression darkened. When she thought of how those five people were after the V16 that Xander needed, she

suddenly felt rather panicked, scared, and at a loss.

The V15 gene serum was already so powerful. Should they be injected with the V16, wouldn’t they all become

superhumans?!

While she was thinking, at some point, Howard had already sneaked over to her. Earlier, he had been overbearing

and arrogant towards her and had also reprimanded her as and when he wanted to, but he was now very cautious

around her.

He asked softly, “Um, Nora… You must be from the Quinn School of Martial Arts, right?”

The Irvin School of Martial Arts didn’t try to win by physical strength. It was just like how Justin hadn’t subdued Jude

with just one move.

Only the Quinn School of Martial Arts would use such open and aboveboard moves.

Nora admitted to it with a grunt.

As soon as she did, Howard spoke again. “Then are you Linda from the Quinn School of Martial Arts? Have you met

Big Sister before?”

The martial arts-obsessed teenager scratched his head. “I… I want to ask Big Sister to be my teacher! Do you know

where she is? What does she like? How can I please her?”

Nora looked at the young man’s pious attitude and sighed silently. “I don’t need pleasing.”
