Chapter 351: Chapter 220: Northwest Wraith Lachlan, Nora Scott Is the First Villain Blackwood [Part 2]
Unbeatable myth refers to: as long as she takes the job, she never fails.
In the underground, there are no photos of her, only countless rumors. Not many have truly seen her, and those who have remain tight-lipped. But those who’ve heard of her are everywhere, abundant as sand.
In the rumors: this person is ruthless, hideous, kills without blinking... all terrifying and bloody descriptions.
Holding a teacup, Nora Scott blew at the steam, watching the ripples form on the tea’s surface. She sipped it lightly, savoring the rich aroma and the sweet aftertaste.
With her head tilted slightly, her cold gaze fell on the Mediterranean boss, and she lazily spoke, "Did Jennings contact you?"
"He did."
Hearing her voice, the Mediterranean boss couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle, nodding quickly.
Unlike the Northwest Wraith, Humphrey Jennings wasn’t so mysterious, being renowned in the martial world.
In earlier years, the Mediterranean boss had benefited from Humphrey Jennings, and since he opened this teahouse, he had been voluntarily providing Jennings with information after discreetly exchanging some intelligence.
This time, Humphrey Jennings suddenly contacted him, saying the "Northwest Wraith" from the underground wanted to visit his teahouse with some questions, and asked him to entertain her well.
He wasn’t originally at the inn, but upon receiving the call, he hurriedly arranged for the best private room and sped over.
"Who’s looking for me?"
Placing the teacup on the table, Nora Scott narrowed her eyes, her tone calm.
Nora Scott is in the bodyguard business.
Protecting people, safeguarding objects, sometimes even handling special cases.
She got into this line of work as early as twelve or thirteen, working with friends. At sixteen, she completed her training and was sent by Antonio Easton to study in Fenton City, where she washed her hands of the business for a few years. At nineteen, she returned to the martial world and used her previous connections to resume the trade.
And the source of tasks generally stemmed from such underground information.
—— There are such places everywhere, chaotic and full of people of all kinds, with gathered intelligence, exchanged by those in need. However, most people are unaware of them.
Nora Scott came to Greenhill Town firstly to film Katherine Collins’ documentary and secondly because she heard this inn was searching for her at a high price, so she came to check it out.
Due to the instability of communication equipment, according to the rules, they always exchanged information in person. Even when the boss called Humphrey Jennings, such one-way, targeted task content would not be disclosed privately.
It must remain confidential.
This is the rule in the underground.
"Durant Family of the Northwest, Luna Durant." The Mediterranean boss answered.
Again with Luna Durant?
Nora Scott smiled, asking, "What’s the task?"
The Mediterranean boss replied:
"Recently, the Durant Family purchased an antique at a high price in Sand Delta, needing it transported to Anchel. Someone in the underground has said their family has done a lot of evil, and before the antique reaches Anchel, it will certainly be hijacked."
"Their family didn’t believe it at first, but within a couple of days, a threatening letter appeared in their hall."
"Neither surveillance nor the bodyguards noticed. After calling the police and conducting a search, no fingerprints were left behind."
"There are always some with special skills in the martial world; perhaps someone truly might steal the antique under the family’s strict protection, so they are uneasy and want to ask you for help. After all, you’ve never failed."
Facing such a younger woman, the Mediterranean boss addressed her respectfully as "you" without a hint of discord.
With Humphrey Jennings’ call beforehand, and the aura she exuded upon entering... it was enough to solidify his belief in her identity.
After all, no one with even a bit of sense would dare impersonate the title of "First Villain" and go around flaunting it.
"Do you think you could take it?" The Mediterranean boss sought Nora Scott’s opinion, "They know sometimes you choose to protect secretly, never showing yourself, so this time, they will enlist a team of security personnel to escort all the way, and you just need to follow in the shadows."
Nora Scott’s rules—
When protecting people, she might choose to protect secretly or openly depending on her mood.
When protecting objects, she typically would take and deliver them stealthily.
The primary reason few have seen the Northwest Wraith is based on this.
Of course, no one knew that Nora Scott made such efforts to cover her tracks simply to avoid seeing news online one day like "Eighteenth-tier celebrity switches careers to become a bodyguard, performing for a living."
Moreover, her face alone draws trouble.
"No."
Without even a second’s pause, Nora Scott decisively refused.
