The Swiss minister in charge of receiving the Queen had long since heard about Black Cat from Clifford, so he was in a bind. He said, “But Black Cat once said that everyone who has seen his face is dead…he had also asked to wear a mask when he took this job, so…”

The bodyguard said arrogantly, “Maybe you can approach and ask. I don’t think anyone would refuse the Queen’s request.” The main issue here was: how ridiculous would it be for someone wearing a mask to be among the Queen’s personal bodyguards?

It would look very bad, which would greatly affect her public image.

The Queen had also overheard their conversation, but ignored it.

She had always been on high ground. In her world, it was only fair that these people obeyed her orders. In fact, they should even be proud that they could protect her. The Queen continued toward the airport exit.

“Are you sure you want to give up the opportunity? You’d better think hard about what your purpose is in coming to escort and protect the Queen,” Clifford said to Black Panther.

Black Panther replied, “But before we came, we had already agreed that Black Cat would wear a mask.

Without a doubt, it was the greatest honor to be selected by the Queen to be her personal guard. If word spread in the future, it would bring them much fame.

With that, the Assassin Alliance could openly, and rightfully so, transform into the Assassin Security Agency.

When Nora first heard the company’s new name, she was speechless.

Since they were a security agency, couldn’t they eliminate the word ‘assassins’? The name sounded like they were guarding assassins.

Clifford sighed and said, “You guys also said Black Cat couldn’t come, but isn’t he still here at the end?”.

It wasn’t the same.

Black Panther grumbled silently to himself. Could Black Cat take off her mask?

She was a copycat! There was no way he was going to take it off.

While missing an opportunity like that was a great shame, Black Panther simply could not allow Black Cat’s image to be displayed in public, both for Black Cat’s sake and for Miss Smith’s.

Black Panther declined the offer. “We really can’t.”

When Abbott, who was at his side, first saw Clifford approach, he had thought that the Queen had really noticed him, but unexpectedly, he turned out to notice the fake Black Cat instead….

So when he heard Black Panther turn down the offer, he scoffed, looked at Nora and said, “Of course they wouldn’t dare, because she’s a copycat!”.

Black Panther gave her a cold look. “It is our organization’s responsibility to protect Black Cat’s identity.”

“… Never mind, then. But too bad,” said Clifford.

After speaking, Clifford left and went after the Queen’s bodyguard. After saying a few words to him, the bodyguard gave them another look.

Then, he went to inform the Queen.

When the Queen learned of this, a look of surprise appeared on her face. However, she did not even give them a glance, but said, “Never mind, then.”

The person standing next to the Queen could not help but comment, “How shameless and unappreciative.”

Nora was oblivious to what was going on there.

Instead, her eyes were completely fixed on the large, tall figure following the Queen.

The man’s muscles were well proportioned and every step he took was regular and rhythmic, as if every muscle in his body was on point.

Nora had only ever seen a good figure like this on Barbarian.

Every human’s muscles developed differently after training because the way everyone exerted strength in training was different.

But this was not the case with Barbarian. He was naturally endowed with perfect muscles because he had been injected with the genetic serum.

Since bodyguards were not allowed to wear masks because they represented the British Royal Family, Nora finally got a clear view of Barbarian’s face.

He appeared to be of mixed ancestry and had chiseled facial features. His scarlet eyes struck fear into her heart. Barbarian, who stood 6’6″, wore the uniform of a bodyguard, making him look like a soldier.

Perhaps sensing Nora’s gaze, he suddenly turned his head and looked toward her.

Nora looked away immediately.

The man’s sixth sense was too keen. To think that he could even perceive the malicious glances of others!

“Let’s go.”

Black Panther’s command was heard in his headset.

They all turned around and filed out.

As soon as they got out, they saw that the Queen had already boarded the car.

A powerful fleet of motorcycles and several black sedans led the way, while the Queen’s car and her personal bodyguards rode in the center.

Nora and the others climbed onto their motorcycles. Just as they were about to follow, Clifford suddenly approached. With a face full of embarrassment, he said, “The Captain of the Queen’s Royal Guard has ordered you to ride at a distance in the vicinity.”

The group fell silent.

They all looked at Black Cat and Abbott.

Nora did not speak.

Abbott, however, asked, “Why, we didn’t come just to stay away from them!”.

The Assassins Alliance and the League of Hitmen were world-renowned assassin organizations, and everyone here was a skilled and well-known hitman.

Therefore, before coming, although Clifford had not charged them with protecting the Queen closely, they were to follow her closely.

This was a form of trust and recognition towards them.

But suddenly, they were being asked to stay away? This was a real humiliation.

Clifford also sighed. He said, “The Swiss will show them goodwill, but obviously, the Queen does not entirely trust their abilities.”

Abbott was furious. “Then we resign!”

Clifford was silent for a while. Then he said, “When you joined us, the contract we signed stated that you would obey our orders or else the Swiss government would not work with you again in the future.

They were here to be security agents, not freelancers.

They all understood that. Besides, it went without saying that cooperating and following the orders of the Swiss authorities would also be a written clause in the contract.

Abbott was so furious that he felt as if he had a toothache.

As for Black Panther, he frowned and said, “Let’s go.”

Their only option was to go ahead now. What else could they do? If they reneged on the contract, it wouldn’t be their commission for the job they would lose, but their chances of working with the Swiss government and the British Royal Family.

Abbott understood this too, so they all set off dejectedly.

Nora got on her motorcycle and led the group to the front.

Abbott sped up and closed in on her.

This time, Nora couldn’t speed up and overtake him; after all, the Queen’s retinue was ahead. She could not overtake them.

Consequently, she could only put up with Abbott’s noise. He said to her, “Never mind that you’re a copycat, but what if the real Black Cat were here? We’ve worked hard all our lives, and even after becoming top-notch masters, we’re still nothing in front of the Royal Family. We’re not even qualified to lead the way and can only follow behind the retinue…. Besides, did you see that those bodyguards were looking at us with disdain in their eyes? It’s clear that they’re looking down on us! Why are they so arrogant?”

Nora: “…”

Abbott continued. “Hey, say something, are you stupid, or is Black Panther really in charge of you guys, are you going to put up with being bullied?”

Nora was silent for a while before finally saying, “We’re not close.”

Abbott: “…”
