Chapter 895



.

Nora had the ability to end a conversation in a second.

Her response made Abbott choke, and only a while later he ended up stammering, “Hmph, it’s because you don’t dare offend them, isn’t it? You’re still trying to get on their good side? Come on, they’re completely belittling you! No, wait, I just remembered something: You’re a copycat! If the real Black Cat were here, she’d never allow us all to be belittled!”

After all, Black Cat was the idol of the assassin community!

Seeing that Nora remained silent as if she couldn’t care less, Abbott became even more convinced of this.

Real assassins were very proud of themselves.

He immediately lost interest in chatting with Nora, and instead went to chat with Black Panther, to which Black Panther thought, ‘…. The two of us don’t know each other very well either, do we?’.

The Queen’s visit didn’t influence anything, so there wasn’t really anyone trying to assassinate her, and they arrived safely at the hotel where she would be staying.

The Swiss government had made special arrangements at the hotel for the Queen’s reception. To that end, they had evicted everyone in the hotel, keeping only some of the hotel’s service staff.

Nora and her party were at the back of the motorcade, so when they arrived at the hotel, the Queen had already checked in.

After parking the cars in the parking lot, they went to the hotel lobby and awaited further instructions.

The Queen would be in Switzerland for three days, so the security mission would also last three days.

At the hotel, the Queen’s Royal Guard were assigned rooms on the same floor as the Queen herself, while the internal staff of the Swiss authorities were assigned rooms on the two lower floors.

Needless to say, they were not allowed to stay in the hotel rooms all day. They had to change guard every two hours and take turns to rest.

However, when it was Nora and her group’s turn, the captain of the Queen’s Royal Guards suddenly said to them, “My apologies, but there are no rooms left. You will have to find a place to rest on your own.”

Abbott and Black Panther were outraged at the same time.

Abbott immediately replied, “How is it possible that there are no rooms left when there are so many rooms here?”

The entire hotel had been vacated and it wasn’t as if the mission guards had filled all the rooms.

The Captain of the Royal Guards calmly replied, “His Majesty has a terrible aversion to noise, so the two floors above and below the one he is staying on have been left empty. Everyone else occupies one room each. Of course, there are still three empty rooms left, but there are thirty in all, so I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to make arrangements there, will it?” Even if they arranged for two people to share a room each and take turns resting inside, they would still need at least seven and a half rooms.

The captain’s decision was logically sound. After all, it was guaranteed that the Queen’s Royal Guards and the Swiss staff could be trusted, but the same could not be said of them.

Therefore, it was only natural that their welfare would be overlooked and their accommodation prioritized on the lowest. Abbott was about to say that there were only ten people among them and therefore they could have the assigned rooms when the captain added: “To avoid infighting among you, let’s leave those three rooms empty, lest you go against the rules and end up in a quarrel over a few rooms.”

Abbott: “…”

The Captain looked at them with utter contempt, so immediately after saying that, he turned around and left.

Those behind Abbott spoke up at once. “What the hell? We have to stay here for three days. Are we really going to give up sleeping for the next three days? They’re too pushy.”

The rest of the group also looked at Black Panther. “Black Panther, what should we do?”

Abbott frowned.

Black Panther thought for a while and then said, “The shift changes every two hours. Go to the cars and get some sleep after someone takes over your shift. We’ve been in harsher environments than this when we went out on missions in the past; this is nothing to us. Once we get through the next three days, we’ll start over with a clean slate. Think about it: in the future, we will all be able to go out in the open and no longer have to sneak around. So, let’s bear it for these next three days!”.

Black Panther’s words were very impactful, everyone nodded after listening to him.

After thinking about it for a while, Abbott’s men also came to the conclusion that this was their only option.

They would just grin and bear it.

With that, the two groups split into teams and half of them headed for the cars in the parking lot to rest.

Black Panther looked at Nora and then walked over and said, “Get some rest! You don’t have to report for duty unless you have to.”

Abbott scoffed, “Why should I be exempt from duty, is Black Cat incapable of enduring hardships like this?”

Black Panther shot a warning glance at Abbott. “Because she is a woman!”

If it had been anyone else, perhaps he would have replied, “So what if she’s a woman?” However, Abbott was not so shameless, so Black Panther’s words immediately shut him up.

Black Panther was in command of the operation and Nora had never disputed his right to command in all this time. So when she heard him, she merely nodded her head and headed to the parking lot to find a car to rest in.

When he found his cars, he got into one and sat in the passenger seat. Then, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

While he was resting, some people passed by. One of them said, “… Have you heard? Tonight a special guest is coming, and they will be in this very hotel! For the Queen of the United Kingdom and the Swiss president to make such a big deal out of it, I wonder who the guest will be.”

“To make such a big deal out of it…”

Nora’s first thought when she heard them was, ‘King is coming!’ Her eyes suddenly widened.

In that case, she couldn’t go on lounging around like this. After all, in addition to completing the three-day task, she was also here to meet King and foster a good relationship with him.

Almost immediately after the idea formed in his mind, Clifford walked around the side of the car. The man, who was in the middle of a phone call, said, “I will certainly send the most professional bodyguard to protect the distinguished guest! I will also take care of all travel arrangements. Don’t worry. I’ll go and select someone right away.”
