Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 714

In the hospital.

When Nora arrived at the laboratory, Lily was analyzing the components of VIZ. Seeing Nora enter, Lily immediately said, "Boss, the serum's components are indeed not analyzable. It is too complex, I am afraid it will take a few years for us to study it thoroughly."

Nora was not surprised.

If the gene serum's formula was that easy to analyze, then Trueman and the others would not have pursued her mother so persistently.

Twenty-five years had already passed, yet Trueman and the others were still putting their hopes of finding clues on her. In that case, this must surely be a herculean task.

To be honest, Nora had already expected the results, but she still couldn't bring herself to terms with it.

She nodded. "I'll take over."

Lily stepped aside and Nora sat down. She held various instruments in her hands and separated the components of the serum, hoping to find clues from it.

Three days later.

Nora's eyes were bloodshot and she had dark circles under her eyes.

After three consecutive days of work without any sleep, she had finally derived the V15 formula, but at the same time, her heart also sank.

It was really a gene-repairing drug and not some kind of

narcotic drug.

In other words, Xander must be injected with the drug, otherwise, he would really die.

She took a deep breath.

A while later, she took out her cell phone and called Caleb, who was abroad.

As soon as the call connected, Caleb said, "Nora, I have been waiting for your call."

Nora kept quiet for a while before she asked, "Is it necessary to inject him with the V15?"

"Yes, it is." Caleb said, "If you don't, the reparation of the previously repaired genes won't be adequate, and his brain will explode which would surely kill him. I have already looked into it—Xander's modifications are in his brain genes. If the V15 is not injected at the stipulated time, he will die."

Nora sighed. "The V15's formula does not seem very complex."

"Yes, none of the formulas from VI to V15 are complex. The most complex one is the V16. In addition, there are a few types of gene serums. Some improve IQ while some improve physical strength. The formulas for VI to V15 are all different for each type of serum. The only thing they have in common is that they all need the very last V16!"

Upon hearing this, Nora's pupils shrank.

Caleb sighed. "I'm dying, so I don't need the V16 anymore. However, every genetically-modified person would need the V16 at the end. Therefore, you should know the importance of the V16 now, right?"

Nora nodded to express that she had understood.

No wonder her mother had said that she must not expose her abilities, lest she ended up being targeted.

It was possible that some of the most outstanding people in the world might just be genetically-modified humans. Additionally, there were so many people that needed the V16 as an antidote.

She suddenly felt even greater pressure.

Such a group of people looking for her, could she really obtain the V16 for Xander?

Also...

If what her mother had left behind was really the formula... If she really produced the V16, thereby removing the last restriction on successful genetic modifications, what would the world turn into?

Would someone deliberately train a group of genetically modified warriors and unify the world?

Or would human beings with genetically modified IQ genes develop at a high speed and deplete the earth's resources in a dozen years—or perhaps even just a few years?

She dared not imagine such consequences.

But with how things currently were, she didn't have the leisure to care about such things anymore either.

Nora said, "I see."

Caleb was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, "I didn't expect Xander to also be your son. Don't worry, I will contact you in time if I find clues regarding the V16."

Nora had been trying hard to find clues from the things that her mother had left behind, but she still couldn't find any.

It would be for the best if Caleb could inform her if he found any clues.

Nora replied, "Thanks a lot."

Caleb kept quiet for a while before he finally said, "You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Nora called Justin.

The phone only rang once before Justin answered. He asked, "How is it?"

Nora was silent for a moment. Finally, she said, "Let's inject him with it."

When Justin heard this, he knew at once that the serum was safe and could be injected as-is. But at the same time, the injection would only extend Xander's lifespan by three months.

The two little fellows and Iris' movements were exactly the same, which gave people a joyful feeling.

Nora and Justin looked at each other and smiled.

However, Nora's mood became increasingly heavy.

The more one understood the gene serum, the more they would realize just how amazing it was.

It was too un-human-like.

She sighed silently.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a noise from

downstairs.

Justin went downstairs and saw Herman standing there. When Herman saw him, he immediately yelled, "Justin, have you become muddleheaded? How can you let Iris move back here? Do you have any idea how big a disaster she will bring to the Hunts by moving back here?!"

Herman was furious. He pointed to Iris and said, "And you, too. Never mind that you have offended an influential person, but you still have the cheek to come back here now? Will you really only stop after you've implicated all the Hunts?! Leave the Hunt Manor at once! Otherwise, the Hunts will really be in huge trouble!"

Iris frowned.

With regard to that, she had no right to speak.

Justin stepped forward and asked, "Where's the butler? Who let him in?"

The butler was wiping his sweat in silence beside him. No matter what, Herman was still Justin's father. The bodyguards did not dare to take any real action against him when he forcibly broke in.

The butler didn't speak. It was instead Herman who shouted angrily, "Do you know that Philip Coleman has already started to take action against the Hunts? I heard that he has been doing a large-scale acquisition of the Hunt Corporation's shares, our share prices are rising madly right now. A lot of the shareholders have all decided to sell their shares. He has made up his mind to take over the Hunt Corporation!"

Justin calmly replied, "Yeah, I know."

"You do? Are you sure you do?! With the shares becoming more and more expensive, we will have less and less cash flow to buy back the shares! At the same time, we will also have fewer and fewer shares in our hands. I know you have also been dispatching people to secretly buy them, but how can the Hunts' cash flow compare to theirs? They have accumulated generations' worth of riches! No one knows how many trillions of dollars they have! Can you beat them? As far as I know, the Hunts only have a few hundred billion dollars worth of cash flow!"

Herman pointed at him. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I have also heard another piece of important news —I heard that Philip is a member of the Imperial League. Do you know what the Imperial League is?

"The dozen or so people in there are in control of global economic trends! The Hunts can't beat them at all! What you are doing is no different from risking the entire Hunt Corporation! Everyone already knows about this and they are all waiting to laugh at the Hunts?! Your uncle's family are also waiting for you to step down!"

After saying all that, Herman went on anxiously and angrily. "You are my son, so I will definitely have to take your side. Justin, your only option now is to drive Iris out or send her to Philip. Otherwise, you won't be able to appease his anger! Our family really can't afford to mess with them! The Imperial League! They are part of the Imperial League, you know!"

Justin frowned when he heard him say the things he shouldn't be saying, and the look in his eyes turned cold.
