Peter turned serious.
He had always been similar in personality to Justin—after all, the latter had raised him single-handedly. Peter said seriously, "The lab is forcibly keeping its employees here."
His words made Nora raise her brows. "Forcibly?"
"Yes."
Peter explained, "They refuse to let the employees leave. Now that you guys are here, I reckon they'll also start monitoring you. They will never let me return to the States—after all, I'm one of the talents they specially picked. They gave me a lot of benefits and even promised me real estate. The salary is also high…"
But was he someone short of money?
Peter had never revealed his true identity to outsiders, that was all.
Nora said, "You didn't make us come all the way here just because of that, did you?" Not only was Peter a skilled martial artist himself, but he also had a few other guards by his side. He could easily escape anytime, so he didn't need to have them personally make a trip here if it was just about that.
