Chapter 971 - Grievances

Since the mildly injured guard received first aid from a few other guards and was blocked, the reporters knew they couldn't interview them.

So they decided on the crowd instead.

"Sir! Can you describe what you just saw?"

"Girl, you've asked the right person.

You know, from the angle at which I sat in the dinner over there, I could already tell that those 3 were up to no good.

Who wears a school bag when wearing those shoes?

Isn't that an insult to fashion?

What the hell were those bastards thinking when pairing them together?

In my opinion, whether an item is cheap or expensive doesn't matter very much.

What matters the most is that they complement each integer when paired.

So as a fashion major, looking at it makes my eyes bleed!

Who does that?"

".... Sir, can you get back to the story?"

"Well, as I was saying, from the moment I saw them, I knew they were up to no good."

...

The news reporters continued interviewing as many as they could while trying their best to talk to the guards as well.

But who were they?

As royal security staff, there were some rules that they had to follow for the better of everyone.

For example, they weren't allowed to give or accept interviews on the royals without permission.

Doing so might one day make them accidentally leak some hidden clues that could compromise the safety of their employer and some of their comrades while at work.

There were always spies and assassins lurking in the dark.

So they had to be careful at all times.

At the same time, word had already gone out to the police station, getting several air force units on top of the matter.

Of course, the police cars were on the lookout for mother Winnie's official vehicles as well.

Josh, Mark and Lucius had already gotten word too.

As for Landon, even though he was still in the hospital because he had always placed trackers on all his loved ones, the moment the knife was approaching her neck and overflowing with murderous intent... The system had already alerted him.

Who?

Who would dare?

While in the hospital with Lucy, Landon secretly watched everything from there on out.

Looking at everything, he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Lucy looked at him in confusion?

"What's making you smile all of a sudden?"

"Well, I just think that there are too many fools in this world."

"Hey! What do you mean?"

Landon flicked her forehead playfully: "Of course I'm not talking about you. How could I when my baby is so cute?"

He hugged Lucy and gently stroked her hair while silently watching Mother Winnie's side through the system's monitors.

How would she deal with them?

This, he had to see.

.

Winnie, who had a knife close to her neck, adjusted her glasses calmly and continued marking her papers, which left the assassins in even more confusion.

What was this operation?

Sister, didn't you see that we have a knife against your neck?

Can't you at least pretend to be frightened?

Black, Silver and Wind felt everything funny and amusing.

They were one of the most feared assassins in Yodan, who had successfully made several men peed themselves.

Yet, this woman didn't even flinch or pretend to be scared when meeting them for the first time.

Was this some sort of joke?

Even when they met The now Duchess Ivy of Yodan, she indeed showed some initial reactions of fright before calming down.

But in Winnie's case, it was as if she was looking down on them and indirectly saying that they weren't worth her time?

.

They looked at her in annoyance.

"What the hell are you doing?

Drop those papers now if you don't want your throat slit!"

Winnie raised, and silently raised her face and squinted her eyes at Black and the rest.

In particular, she was more focused on black, as she coldly stared at him with every fibre of his being.

The moment she heard how the other assassins called him, she knew who he was, even without him taking off his mask.

"I know you.

Or rather, I should say that I know your brother."

Black was taken aback.

Did she figure it out?

No! Impossible!

Does she remember that time?

Black felt like he was probably overthinking things a bit.

"Lady, what nonsense are you sitting out?

Heh. If this is your way of trying to wiggle your way out of this, then you can forge it!" Black scoffed.

Winnie nonchalantly ignored his arrogant eyes and leaned back: "Believe it or not. I know him."

How could she not?

The bastard's brother was the cause of her initial exile from Yodan.

.

At the time, Ivy had hired Black's elder brother to sneak into her courtyard and 'accidentally get caught.

Of course, as a skilled assassin, he later snuck out, leaving her to take all the blame, saying that she had a wild man over, leading to her divorce.

At the time, even though she never facially showed it, she was so shocked and confused by the fact that a n.a.k.e.d man was seen leaving her courtyard.

She had never laid on any bed with this man other than Maclaine, so where did the n.a.k.e.d man come from?

He stormed out of her bedroom chambers and was apparently seen by only 3 people at the time.

Yet somehow, that number multiplied to hundreds who swore to have seen him with their very own eyes.

He probably didn't want to flee when many people watched because he still wanted an escape route for himself.

But even at that, the effect of having just 3 people seeing him still did the job.

At that time, she looked at Maclaine and said just 3 words to him: I am innocent."

That was it.

She never did anything more to defend herself because her enemies had hired to hundred other witnesses and did many things behind the scenes

So her defending herself was meaningless.

After coming here and accidentally seeing Sirius, she got the name of the man who dared to run n.a.k.e.d in her courtyard.

That was how she came to know of Black's brother.

Good.

She can finally air out some of her grievances.
