Chapter 908

Justin leaned over to Nora and whispered, “The Queen Mother.”

Nora raised her eyebrows – what, the Queen Mother was still alive?

Justin nodded.

Nora was puzzled. “So, why did you give up the throne to the Queen?”.

Justin replied, “The Queen Mother abdicated over ten years ago and has retired backstage. She has gotten on in years and must be at least 70 years old by now. The Queen is her youngest daughter.”

Now it all clicked in Nora’s head. That made sense. Only members of the Royal Family could build a huge laboratory in the basement of Buckingham Palace.

“This is just my theory, and I don’t have any direct proof yet, but I should think that a person’s greatest desire after growing old would probably be longevity. Also, Trueman’s modified genes have something to do with his longevity. If he can get V16 administered, he would live to at least 200 years old.”

Nora sighed. “There are numerous stories of rulers seeking the elixir of life in ancient times, and now we have all this stuff too…one’s lifespan is predetermined, so why bother going to such lengths?”

Justin slung his arm over his shoulder. “You’re right. But now that I have you and the kids, I’d probably feel like my lifespan isn’t long enough.”

Nora thought about it, then replied, “Well, that’s true.”

Justin leaned closer to her. “Yes, so I plan to march straight to Buckingham Palace to attack and destroy their base. That way, once the mysterious organization is down to just a few people, it will no longer pose a threat.”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çom has it all “Understood.”

Justin stepped even closer to her. “Nora, I…”

But before he could finish, Nora pushed him away and stood up.

“The food is ready,” she said.

A servant brought the Veal Wellington and placed it on the table.

Justin: “…”

The resigned man got up and followed Nora. As the two sat down at the dining room table, Nora suddenly asked, “Aren’t you planning on taking me with you?”

Justin was a little taken aback to hear this.

After a moment’s silence, he finally replied, “I wasn’t planning to. The children are still too young; if something unpleasant happens to me, I thought at least you would still be there to take care of them…”

After speaking, he looked at Nora.

She knew the woman didn’t appreciate her trying to protect her, so she didn’t know if she would agree.

Nora, however, rested her chin on her palm and kept quiet without answering whether she was going or not. She merely looked at him suddenly and asked, “You’re not hiding anything else from me, are you?”

“Not at all!” Justin’s eyes twinkled and he replied firmly, “Really!”.

“Okay.”

Nora responded nonchalantly.

Justin: “?”

So, was she agreeing or not?

He didn’t dare ask her. He would just make the arrangements with the assumption that she wasn’t going.

When the two of them finished dinner, Justin asked her how the kids were doing. When he learned that the children were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon it was time for bed. Justin looked at her with a smoldering look in his eyes and suggested, “Shall we sleep together?”

“No, that won’t be right.”

Nora had already put on the Black Cat mask after dinner. She said, “I’m your bodyguard, you know.”

Justin also put on his mask.

After all, they were in Switzerland. If anyone found out his true identity, he would be in a lot of trouble in the future.

He laughed and corrected her. “My closest bodyguard, you mean.”

Nora: “…”

In the end, the two didn’t share the same bed; after all, they had a bunch of Swiss breathing down their necks. So, Nora left the house after dinner. As soon as she left, she saw Lawrence furtively watching them not far away. When he saw her leave, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, the three parties met for a chat.

As his bodyguard, Nora followed Justin and entered the meeting room with him. The Swiss president very kindly invited King to make investments in the country and also offered to give the go-ahead for several policies.

Justin accepted and the discussion between the two parties went smoothly.

It was just that…

Nora watched the service personnel coming and going.

Her impression was that the people who could get a job as wait staff here to serve water and such were mostly tall, slim, attractive and pleasing to the eye. So why were they all the strong, muscular type? One of the waitresses even deliberately showed off the muscles in her arms and lifted them a couple of times as she approached Justin.

Nora and Justin were speechless.

Neither of them knew that when the waitresses came out, Clifford immediately stopped them and asked, “Did Mr. King notice either of you?”

The information he had received the day before said that King liked to be on the passive side….

However, the waitresses shook their heads in unison.

Clifford was puzzled – was the information wrong? He couldn’t help but chide his subordinate.

“Can’t you find a few with the same physique as Black Cat instead?”

Her subordinate was on the verge of tears. “Among those who are as thin as she is, how many of them have the same incredible physical strength and muscles as powerful as hers?”

Clifford: “…”

King had always been a very efficient man, and the meeting was successfully concluded in short order. On leaving the meeting room, Justin refused the warm invitations of the Queen and the Swiss president.

Seeing his steadfastness, the Queen could only say helplessly, “I will see you tomorrow at the Schmidt’s. I have heard that your fiancée is also here. It’s been a long time since I last saw her, I miss her a little myself.”

After speaking, the Queen looked at Black Cat, who was standing behind Justin.

Did you hear me, woman? The harpy fiancée will be there too!

However, Black Cat did not seem to understand.

Therefore, the Queen could only beckon him once more and say, “Black Cat, your mission ends tomorrow, right? In that case, you don’t have to follow him there”.

Nora: “?”

She looked at the Queen and fell silent.

At that moment, a waitress approached and walked past Nora from behind. Suddenly, she seemed to lose her balance and lunged straight at Nora. At the same time, her hand grabbed Nora’s mask to rip it off.

For a moment, everyone looked at her in unison.
