Chapter 884

“You look just like her!”

Karl circled Nora. “If I didn’t know who you were, I would have been convinced you were Black Cat.”

Nora: “…”

Actually, it wouldn’t hurt even if he told her the truth, but she was currently out in the open while Barbarian and the rest were hiding in the dark. She didn’t want them to discover too many of their different identities.

Therefore, she said nothing.

After circling around her twice, Karl said to Black Panther, the assassin who ranked second in the Assassin Alliance, who was standing next to him, “If anything happens, you’ll take care of it. Don’t let Miss Smith do it, lest she expose her identity.”

Black Panther looked Nora up and down, curved his lips and said, “Fine.”

Then Karl smiled again. “But you need not fear even if you have to fight. Miss Smith is not a delicate, sheltered young lady. She is the Big Sister of the Quinn Martial Arts School of the United States…. Her moves are no worse than Black Cat’s!”

However, Black Panther was not happy to hear that. He scoffed and said, “I don’t like the sound of that, boss. How are his moves on par with Black Cat’s? Even if the two are more or less on par in their fighting skills, Black Cat is still an assassin. She is an existence that people can’t even begin to protect themselves against. If Black Cat and Miss Smith had to face each other in a fight, Miss Smith would probably die before she realized what was going on!”

“What nonsense are you talking?”

Karl gave Black Panther a shove, then looked at Nora and apologized. “Don’t take what he says to heart, Nora! Black Panther is a diehard Black Cat fan and is very supportive of her. Don’t hold it against him…”

Nora would never hold it against Black Panther, of course.

Because of her, Black Panther had even changed his code name from Assassin, saying he wanted to be part of the same series as her. She even made a big fuss about it in the Assassin Alliance, so that the codenames of all the Assassin Alliance members were now things like ‘Black Bear’, ‘Black Ram’, ‘Black Hound’, etc. The place had become a zoo of large black animals.

Nora nodded.

Only then did Karl let out a sigh of relief.

Then he spoke again. “Nora, don’t worry if I talk some more, okay? Don’t tell Tanya what I do outside of the United States, okay? She’s a delicate, proper young lady raised in a well-to-do family. Let her stay home and try to have a second child in peace and quiet. Let her not find out what we men do outside, lest she worry…”

Nora was surprised. “… Does she want a second child?”

“Yes!” said Karl. “When I was on a video call with her, she told me that you have already given birth to three sons while she only has one daughter, So she must hurry to catch up with you and strive to have three sons too!”

The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed. Tanya probably wanted more children just because her relationship with Joel was really good.

But in a way she understood how she felt.

Neither Tanya nor Joel had many they really considered their relatives, so they must feel especially lonely.

He could still remember what Tanya had once said. In fact, she had a dream as a child: to have many children and to treat them especially well.

Since she had no mother to treat her well, she would give her children a good mother.

By that time, Tanya and Joel had already broken up and she was living abroad.

Her only daughter was also missing.

Nora had asked her why she didn’t have children right away; after all, with another child, her feelings of guilt towards her missing daughter would diminish and she could also start a new life.

Tanya’s answer at the time was that she had not yet met the person she was ready to have children for.

Now that she has met Joel, Tanya must be planning to kick-start her plans to have quite a few babies, right?

While she was thinking, Karl secretly asked, “By the way, you’re a doctor, right, do you have any way to help Tanya have a multiple pregnancy?”

Nora: “?”

Karl sighed. “She is my only daughter; I have no descendants other than her. In the past, I gave all the money I earned to people in the United States, only to find out in the end that Johnson had withheld it all without authorization. However, it was all recovered later, and Captain Ford of the Special Department has also returned it all to me. You could say that I am now a person with substantial financial assets, in which case I would need someone to inherit them, wouldn’t I? If Tanya can give birth to a few more children and let me choose one of them to take over my business, that alone would make me happy!”

The corners of Nora’s lips twitched. “How many do you plan for Tanya to have?”

“Two at the very least, I guess. Mia is definitely not going to be suitable to take over my business. Besides, judging by how much Joel adores and spoils her, I’m sure he’s going to want another child so they can inherit the Smith business and work to support Mia. In that case, Tanya would have to give birth to at least two more. Three would do as well, but four would be most ideal!”.

Nora: “!”

Did that guy think Tanya was a pig?

And did he think she could produce four at once?

The corners of her lips tightened and she rolled her eyes, wondering how Karl had become so unreliable these days?

He didn’t linger on the subject any longer, instead asking, “What’s the security mission route this time?”

The Assassin Alliance’s front was actually a security agency, so they were in charge of security management at some events.

At Nora’s words, Karl finally came to his senses. He explained, “I’ll give you a quick explanation about the job. This time we are protecting the Queen of the United Kingdom, but it is not the Queen herself who has hired our services, but the Swiss authorities.”

Nora raised her eyebrows.

Karl continued. “Her Majesty will bring her own guards, while we are responsible for the security of the outer limits. By the way, I hear Her Majesty has brought a little Princess with her. Her name seems to be Lucy – didn’t she visit your house before?”

Nora: “?”

Wasn’t she Cherry’s little friend?

Would she be here too?

As Nora thought, Karl continued. “The Swiss authorities have not only hired us to protect Her Majesty, but they have also approached the League of Hitmen. Actually, the workload isn’t much, but it’s a good opportunity for our company to get some publicity….”

After going overseas this time, Karl had cleaned up the company’s ways.

Taking assassination missions all the time would make the organization increasingly shady. Now that he had a daughter, he wanted to make the organization clean and unabashed.

This way, at least he wouldn’t be on record as being barred from entering the country when he wanted to return to the United States to visit his daughter.

Of course…

Even if he was the local police informant, he was now still a boss in the underground world, so he would have to submit to strict controls when entering the country.

In other words, if Morris did not alert the relevant authorities, someone like Karl would not be allowed into the country at all.

The American soldiers were all men of firm and unwavering character. They had absolutely no fear of the Alliance of Assassins.

Therefore, the organization would have to take on security jobs from now on.

All members of the organization were in agreement with this. Karl had also sent a message to Black Cat to notify her, and she also agreed. Therefore, they would all start working in the light from now on.

After saying this, Karl took out some photos. “By the way, this is a picture of the captain of the Queen’s personal bodyguards. Here, take a look. I’ve heard that he’s extremely formidable and mysterious, so let’s do our best not to conflict with him.”

Nora took the picture of Karl. She had only glanced at it when she froze.

She frowned.

She’d never imagined that this guy could turn out to be the captain of the Queen’s personal bodyguards .
