Chapter 891



Seeing the situation, Black Panther was filled with disgust.

He would never have thought that Abbott would have the guts to make an attack right in front of Clifford.

Nor did he expect Abbott to move so quickly. It seemed that the League of Hitmen had hidden their true strength when the two had clashed in the past.

The League of Hitmen was a group with a long history, after all, it was founded before the League of Assassins. It was no wonder they had a stronger base, as well as more powerful hitmen unknown to others.

It was also no wonder they had the guts to challenge and provoke Black Cat.

Still…

Black Panther couldn’t help but glance at Nora. Didn’t they say she was the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts? Why had she been suppressed so easily? If it was Black Cat, there definitely wouldn’t have been a problem!

As Black Panther thought about it, a faint anger appeared on his face, and he said angrily, “How shameless you are, Abbott! You attacked your own allies?”

Black Panther then turned to Clifford and said, “Mr. Clifford, are you going to condone Abbott’s actions? Black Cat came here overnight from the United States at our request, you know. He hasn’t slept a wink since last night. Isn’t it understandable that his reaction is a little slow today? Besides, who would have thought he would launch a sneak attack right in front of you?”

Clifford also frowned and looked at Abbott. “What are you doing, Abbott, the two of you are allies in this operation! Why did you attack Black Cat as soon as you arrived? You’re being very antagonistic.”

Abbott replied, “Mr. Clifford, I was wondering if we should let someone else take command of this operation. The League of Hitmen’s momentum may not have been as strong as Black Cat’s momentum of the Assassin’s Alliance over the past two years, but you have already witnessed my abilities today.

Also, considering how the ‘Black Cat’ here was so easily suppressed, even if he really is Black Cat, can you trust his skills? In this industry, the strong have the last word.”

Clifford’s eyebrows immediately drew together.

He looked at Nora again, a hint of doubt also on his face.

After all, while it was true that Abbott had made a sneak attack a moment ago, in his industry, who could be sure that no one among his peers had been bought off by the enemy?

As such, there were exacting requirements as to one’s capabilities as an individual.

Furthermore, the government had only deployed 30 people from the two organizations for this operation because they simply did not have enough personnel, and the 30 had already agreed that Black Cat would be the one in charge of their deployment.

After all, Gato Negro’s status in the hitman world was among the highest.

However, for her to be suppressed by another party at such close range, was Black Cat really as strong as the stories claimed? Or was she really like what Abbott had claimed: the person in front of her was not Black Cat?

Hesitation appeared on Clifford’s face.

Black Panther said firmly, “Heh, even tigers go to sleep sometimes, not to mention humans…. Abbott, don’t go overboard.”

Abbott smiled and said, “I don’t care, I’ll only bow to the strong. So, tell me, Black Panther: is it Black Cat who is being uncautious ? Or is this person not Black Cat at all?”

Black Panther: “!!!”

As an assassin, it was simply humiliating to be branded as being uncautious!

However, if he answered that Nora was not Black Cat, it would mean that the Assassin Alliance was deceiving the DDPS. If that happened, it would make it even harder for them to get good resources in the Swiss security industry in the future.

Black Panther glared angrily at Abbott. Just as he was about to speak, Nora, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, “Who are you calling an unguarded assassin?”

As soon as she spoke, Abbott smiled and replied, “You, of course. Rumor has it that those who have seen your face are all dead. I’m already about to remove your mask, and you still haven’t noticed anything. Isn’t this proof that you’re not cautious? Besides, the way I see it, all that stuff about everyone who has seen your face being dead must be just rumors, right? The Assassin’s Alliance sure knows how to generate rumors for themselves. They make it sound so real that it’s as if it’s true…”

He had just said that when he suddenly heard a low chuckle.

Abbott was startled. The next moment, the masked woman said coolly under her breath, “Oh? Then try taking off my mask.”

Her words left Abbott dumbfounded.

He frowned and said, “Heh, are you still talking big at this point, Black Cat? Well, since you’ve given me permission to remove your mask, then I’ll do it and show everyone how awesome Black Cat really is!”

Immediately after speaking, I hold the mask to rip it off.

But the next moment, he realized that he couldn’t exert any force on his hand!

Stunned, he lowered his head. It was then that he discovered that on the underside of his wrist, out of sight, there was a silver needle glowing with a subtle light.

It was precisely this needle that had prevented Abbott’s hand from exerting the slightest force.

Abbott was stunned.

Seeing that Abbott did nothing despite his great speech, all the others looked at him-only to see him standing where he was, with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, but his hand showing no further signs of motion Only then did they follow his line of sight and finally spot the needle.

In addition, they also noticed that Nora’s other hand was on Abbott’s chest.

At first glance, they thought she had pulled herself together and intended to push him away.

But if one looked closer, one would see that there was another needle barely noticeable between the fingers of Nora’s fist, and it was pointed right at Abbott’s heart.

With just a little force, the needle would quietly pierce his heart without anyone noticing.

Also.

Nora’s icy voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“It’s true that everyone who has seen my face is dead. So, do you still want to see it?”

For no reason, her words had a sense of ferocity and domination.

It shocked and amazed everyone present.

Abbott did not dare to move.

When Clifford, who stood beside him, saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At last he had witnessed Black Cat’s ability to take someone’s life without a sound.

Moreover, with a simple silver needle, he could take someone’s life without them noticing. This was simply too horrifying!

Clifford’s attitude toward Black Cat underwent a major change immediately. He said, “Please don’t be angry. Abbott just likes to talk bad. We have to work together to protect the Queen in this operation. Everyone here wants to serve the country, so let’s not argue about these things anymore. Black Cat, can you forgive Abbott for this one time?”

Nora did not take Abbott seriously.

The man could be considered in some ways a gentlemanly hit man.

The assassination missions he carried out targeted bad guys…so he was quite famous in the hitman community.

Of course, this was also the reason why the Swiss authorities were willing to accept them.

None of the hitman organizations were made up of heinous evildoers. Now that they wanted to clean up their act, the government was more than happy to see this. That was why they had been given this opportunity.

So, upon hearing what Clifford said, with a flick of Nora’s slender fingers, the silver needle disappeared.

Then she stepped back and put some distance between Abbott and herself.

With her intimidating murderous intent gone, Abbott finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He stared at the masked woman in front of him and said, “You just wait. I’ll definitely find proof that you’re not Black Cat.”
