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 diterranean boss, and she lazily spoke, "Did Jennings contact you?"
"He did."
Hearing her voice, the diterranean 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 diterranean boss had benefited from Humphrey Jennings, and since he opened this teahouse, he had been voluntarily providing Jennings with information after discreetly exchanging so intelligence.
This ti, Humphrey Jennings suddenly contacted him, saying the "Northwest Wraith" from the underground wanted to visit his teahouse with so 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 ?"
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, sotis 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 resu the trade.
And the source of tasks generally stemd 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 ca to Greenhill Town firstly to film Katherine Collins’ docuntary and secondly because she heard this inn was searching for her at a high price, so she ca to check it out.
Due to the instability of communication equipnt, 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 diterranean boss answered.
Again with Luna Durant?
Nora Scott smiled, asking, "What’s the task?"
The diterranean boss replied:
"Recently, the Durant Family purchased an antique at a high price in Sand Delta, needing it transported to Anchel. Soone 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 so with special skills in the martial world; perhaps soone 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 diterranean 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 diterranean boss sought Nora Scott’s opinion, "They know sotis you choose to protect secretly, never showing yourself, so this ti, 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 beco a bodyguard, performing for a living."
Moreover, her face alone draws trouble.
"No."
Without even a second’s pause, Nora Scott decisively refused.
