Nora paid no further attention to Abbott. After the identity check, she headed to the specified meeting point with Black Panther and the others.
They were scheduled to head to the airport in a little while to pick up the Queen.
After dropping Abbott off, Black Panther approached her and said, âAhem. Unexpectedly you have some pretty good moves.â
Nora raised her eyebrows. But before she could speak, Black Panther spoke again. âBut donât jump to conclusions. Black Cat is definitely better than you. All that would be no big deal to Black Cat. Also, be quiet when they start talking about troop deployments, formations and all that. In your place, Iâll give the directions.â
â⦠Oh, okay,â Nora said.
Soon, the ten people on Abbottâs side finished the identity checks. The thirty then followed the Swiss troops and, with great momentum, prepared to leave for the airport.
Before leaving, Clifford said, âPlease turn off your phones and hand them in.â
You were not allowed to carry your phone on missions. It was a rule.
Nora understood that.
Therefore, she didnât plan to ask for special privileges and pulled out her phone. However, just as she was about to hand it over, it started ringing.
She pointed to Clifford.
Clifford nodded immediately and allowed him to answer the call. If it had been anyone else, he would no doubt have been much stricter, but she was Black Cat after all. Besides, she had just shown a bit of her ability, so Clifford was quite afraid of her at the moment.
Nora took the call: it was Cindy, the lady who helped her take care of her houses in the residential district.
âMiss Nora, something has come up. I thought Iâd let you know about it.â
Nora raised her eyebrows. âWhatâs happened?â
Cindy replied, âItâs all Liamâs fault!â.
Liam? In other words, Spacey?
Wasnât he already dead?
As Nora wondered, Cindy said grumpily, âThat Liam is a jerk! You know, he gave Reneâs address to his family before he left. And her family got here yesterday. They went crazy and took René away by forceâ¦â.
Nora looked down.
She remembered researching René before. She was an orphan taken in by her adoptive parents. However, her foster father had abused and even raped her. When her foster mother saw what had happened, not only did she not hold her foster father responsible, she had even beaten Rene up. Thatâs how Rene became like that.
After leaving them and living with Liam recently, Reneâs condition had improved.
What happened was that Liam was too nasty. After using her, he threw her back in thereâ¦.
However, Rene was nothing more than a stranger to her.
Nora was no saint. Without another word, she replied, âUh-huh, so?â.
Rene was mentally ill, so in the eyes of the law, she was considered legally incapacitated and had to have a guardian. Her adoptive parents were her legal guardians.
Therefore, legally, there was no problem with Rene being taken away.
Cindy said angrily, âI didnât stop them because I thought they were legally allowed to take her, but I didnât expect things to go so wrong today. They live relatively far away, so they didnât go home immediately after taking her yesterday, but went to a nearby hotel. That night, when her foster father was going to rape her again, her foster mother found out and they got into a fight. The man killed her foster mother and almost killed her too, but was stopped by the police in time. Poor Rene, she had wounds all over. She was sent to the hospital, but since she has no other relatives, the police contacted me when they found out she was my tenant. Chief, Iâd like to bring her back.â
Cindy had always been a kind woman.
When she was in a desperate situation, Nora had helped her. So she, too, tried to help her compatriots as much as possible.
In the past, Cindy would never have informed her of something like this, but since it was Liam, she had brought it up.
Nora replied casually, âYou can do whatever you want.â
And then, she hung up.
After that, the group left for the airport.
This time Nora was also on a motorcycle.
She vaguely heard Abbott giving instructions to his subordinates standing next to him: âBe vigilant and smart with every action. Itâs the Queen, you know. If our performance satisfies the Queen, things will go very well for us when we go to the UK in the future. In fact, if we try harder, we may even become a member of the Queenâs Personal Guard.â
His subordinates replied, âYes, sir.â
Nora looked at Abbott.
Black Panther curved his lips. Over the walkie-talkie, he asked Nora, âDo you think the Queen will have a good opinion of him?â
Truth be told, it went without saying that everyone expected to stand out and excel in this security operation.
Nora replied with great assurance, âNo, she wonât.â
âI didnât think so either. Even if someone impresses her, itâs likely to be someone from the Assassinâs Alliance. After all, we have the trump card â Black Cat!â
For once, Black Panther didnât criticize her. However, he still asked, âWhy do you think that is?â.
â⦠Because heâs ugly,â Nora replied.
Abbott was not a handsome man.
But the Queen of the United Kingdom⦠heh, she was someone who liked good-looking people.
Unattractive people would never catch her eye.
At the thought of the Queen, Nora couldnât help but twist her lips in disdain.
Queenieâs business often involved the British Royal Family. The Queen knew her, and besides, she had been trying all this time to invite her to expand her business in the UK. If she could get NTT to expand its operations in the UK, she would bring a great fortune to the country.
As a result, the Queen often invited Queenie to various banquets.
Nora had attended some of them.
But her personality clashed with that of the Queen.
The two did not like each other.
If it werenât for the fact that Cherry got along relatively well with Princess Lucy, and her daughter only had that one friend, Nora wouldnât even want to meet with the Queen.
Later, it was Queenie who took Cherry to the UK instead of her, and she never went there again.
Black Panther: ââ¦â
The corners of his lips tightened and he commented, âWomen sure do look at things from a strange perspective.â
Soon, the group arrived at the airport with great momentum.
Clifford arranged for all of them to stay on the perimeter of the airport.
Abbott arched his neck and glanced occasionally toward the exit. He asked, âTell me, will the Queen take notice of us, what can we do to get her attention?â
âItâs the Queen, you know! She is of royal blood.â
âYes, we are already very fortunate to be able to act as her guards even onceâ¦â
As the few conversed, they noticed movement from the other side.
The conversing people instantly fell silent. Hoping to show their best to the Queen, they all stood up and kept quiet as the policemen inside.
Then, like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, the Queen walked out the exit. She kept her eyes straight ahead and walked toward the car in front.
But just as she passed Abbott, Nora and her men, the Queen suddenly turned her head and observed.
