Chapter 890

The man across the table shut up right away. A while later, Karl finally coughed and spoke again. “Actually, what you’re saying makes sense, too – are you sure you want to leave?”

Nora was a little surprised to see that the man wasn’t really that agitated. However, Karl was a man of the world after all, so Nora figured he should have deduced a thing or two long ago. Therefore, she said, “Yes, let’s go.”

“Whew!” Karl stood up and patted her on the shoulder. “All right then, Uncle Karl owes you one, Nora! If we can get away with it, I’ll give you a big present. If not, we’ll retire halfway, no matter what. Remember, nothing is more important than your safety, okay?”

Nora: “?”

Why did she feel she didn’t quite understand what Karl was saying?

As she contemplated, Karl said, “But you sure are dedicated, Nora. It’s too bad you’re not in the acting industry. However, it’s good that you’re starting to get into it right away. Only when we all firmly believe that you’re Black Cat, they won’t be able to spot any flaws. After all, no one has ever seen what Black Cat really looks like!”

Nora: “!”

So, even though he had already revealed his identity, Karl still didn’t believe him?

The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed. “I really am Black Cat.”

“I know, I know! From this moment on, you are Black Cat.”

Karl had ‘I understand’ written on it.

Nora: “…”

Forget it, she had already told him the truth anyway. The man could believe whatever he wanted.

She was tired of explaining herself.

Karl didn’t give her time to explain any more either. He called someone and ordered, “Get the men ready and then we can leave!”.

Black Panther, who had just come in, looked at Nora and asked, “Is it okay for us to leave again now?”

With a stern look, Karl said, “Watch your mouth! You’d better show some respect to Black Cat! Also, tell all the men that Miss Smith is Black Cat!”.

Black Panther nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Then, off he went. Soon after, the twenty were ready to move. This time they were to pick up the Queen at the airport and escort her to the hotel where she would be staying. After that, they were to protect the Queen and ensure her safety for the next three days.

Of course, the Queen’s personal guards would be the ones to closely protect her; they were only responsible for perimeter security.

With the Queen’s visit, the Swiss President would have to meet with her. The two would shake hands and discuss matters. During this period, they would be responsible for part of the security work. The Swiss Federal Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport, commonly abbreviated as DDPS, was in charge of all the details.

After all twenty were ready, Karl stepped forward and said to Nora, “Black Cat is the strongest member of our organization, so you will certainly be the leader when we go out on missions. Do you have any experience in the security sector?”

But after asking the question, without even waiting for Nora to answer, he rushed to comfort her and said, “Don’t panic, you don’t have to panic. You’re just the leader on the surface. I’ll have Black Panther help you secretly, so you’ll only be the commander in name. Actually, all orders will be issued by Black Panther.”

Without further ado, the words ‘Yes, I have’ on the tip of Nora’s tongue stuck.

The corners of her lips spasmed and she said, “…. Okay.”

The group set off with great momentum.

Of the twenty, fifteen were in black cars. With each five sharing a car, a total of three cars were deployed. As for the remaining five, they were on motorcycles.

As commander, Nora would most certainly have to drive a motorcycle. After all, motorcycles were more comfortable and also allowed her to know her surroundings better, which would help her make the right decisions.

Black Panther was also on a motorcycle.

All five wore identical black uniforms. Then, Nora put on her mask while Black Panther took out his sunglasses and put them on. He glared at Nora and said, “Do you know how to ride a motorcycle? If not, you can ride in one of the cars. Anyway, you’re a girl, so it would make sense even if you rode in the car.”

But as soon as he spoke, he saw that Nora wasn’t paying any attention to him. Instead, she put on her mask and skillfully climbed onto the bike. Her slender leg bumped and pushed the kickstand up. Then her hand wrapped in a black glove turned the handlebars and the bike’s engine roared.

“Let’s go!”

Following his command, the bike sped off, leaving behind only a cloud of dust for Black Panther.

Black Panther: “…”

Black Panther hurried onto his own motorcycle and took off after it.

Five motorcycles and three black cars headed for the airport with great momentum. Somewhere along the way, Black Panther sped up and caught up with Nora.

As he was about to say something, Nora suddenly accelerated and overtook him. Black Panther: “???”

Why did he feel rejected?

Nora was certainly rejecting his presence: she talked too much! Besides, Black Panther had a habit of chewing gum when on a mission and the sight of his constantly moving mouth got on her nerves.

The group arrived at DDPS and reported for duty.

DDPS staff members began checking their identities.

Nora didn’t have to worry about that, however, because Karl had already prepared an ID card for her.

The minister who ran DDPS took her ID card and glanced at it. Just as he was about to let her pass, a voice was heard.

“Mr. Clifford, are you sure you are Black Cat?”.

Clifford was a little taken aback by the question.

Nora looked back and saw a group of ten people dressed just like them approaching.

Seeing them, Black Panther quietly explained, “They are members of the League of Hitmen. The one in the lead is their captain for this operation, his name is Abbott. He likes to talk trash and the way he looks makes you want to beat him up.”

Nora: “…”

Actually, it seemed to her that the way Black Panther talked also made one want to beat him up, but she didn’t say anything.

When Clifford heard Abbott, he asked in bewilderment, “What are you trying to say?”

Abbott smiled and walked over to Nora. He circled around her twice and then said, “Mr. Clifford, we’re here to protect the Queen, you know. Are you sure you want to let her wear a mask here? You’re not afraid she might be a copycat?”

Clifford smiled and replied, “Black Cat is well known in both the assassin world and the DDPS. Besides, how could someone in the Assassin’s Alliance be a copycat?”

Abbott laughed and said, “Then I’ll show you what a copycat is!”.

Practically as he finished speaking, Abbott tried to punch Nora’s face.

He had already received reliable information that Karl had found an impersonator to impersonate Black Cat. Since he was only pretending, his fighting skills had to be no good.

If she removed his mask in front of Clifford, she could show him Black Cat’s fighting skills, or lack thereof. With that, her identity as an impersonator would be exposed.

“Look out!” shouted Black Panther, but it was too late.

Who would have thought the man would suddenly attack when they had just met?

Abbott’s hand was already around Nora’s mask. As soon as he applied a little force, he would be able to remove it. With a grin, he asked, “Are Black Cat’s moves this terrible?”
