Chapter 1049: Black Cat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rather than a laboratory, Peter’s workplace was actually more like a research center.
As they went deeper into the facility, just on the way to the lounge alone, Nora observed that there were already
about a few hundred people guarding the place. From the looks of it, Peter and the others were doing research on
something extremely important.
There were also a lot of employees—at least a thousand of them—in the research center.
Therefore, the research center had its own employee dormitories and canteen.
The families of most of the people under surveillance also lived and worked there, so they couldn’t leave even if
they wanted to.
When they reached the lounge, Peter said, “Rest here. I’ll bring you guys around and let you meet those people
when lunchtime comes. I’ll give them a heads-up first, too.”
“Okay.”
After sleeping the morning away, when lunchtime approached, the trio went to the canteen with Peter. There, Nora
met the 23 people in question.

The group was both excited and nervous.
But some of them looked clearly uneasy.
“What’s wrong?” Nora asked.
Peter answered, “For some of them, their family members aren’t here, but would also like to leave with us.”
Nora broke into a frown. After a moment of contemplation, she exchanged a look with Justin and then said, “How
about this? Get their families’ addresses and give them to me. I’ll send people to pick them up.”
Peter nodded and went to talk to the others.
After a while, he came back again. The boy, who still looked as troubled as before, asked, “Must we act tonight,
Mom?”
“Yeah.”
For one, by taking action quickly, it was highly likely that they could get away before the people outside even
realized what had happened.
For another, she wanted to go home earlier to sleep!
She couldn’t possibly stay here just because of one or two people.
Peter said, “Actually, a few of them haven’t made up their minds yet. After all, taking their families and children with
them and leaving the country is a big decision. They are not sure whether their wives would agree to it.”
Nora thought for a moment and finally said, “Get them to give me their addresses. I’ll send people to pick them up
at 1 a.m. tonight…”
She raised her head and looked at Peter intently. “If they want to leave, then have their families display the national
flag at the entrance of their homes. If it’s inconvenient for them to display the flag, or if they don’t have one at
home, they can draw stars and stripes on a piece of paper and put that up instead.”
Her words took Peter by surprise.
Stars and stripes…
He suddenly smiled and said, “Okay, got it.”
In this instant, Peter suddenly felt immensely proud of having a mother like Nora.
He looked back and relayed Nora’s instructions to the others.
Then, he collated everyone’s addresses and handed them to Nora.
As Nora stared at the addresses, she lowered her gaze.

In the afternoon, when they returned to the hotel, she immediately dialed Karl’s number. “We have a new mission.”
Karl immediately asked, “What is it?”
“Picking people up.”
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Karl answered, “No problem.”
After hanging up the phone, he gave out orders to Black Panther and Abbott. Both men immediately became
excited. “Do we get to meet Black Cat this time?”
To chase after his idol, Abbott had joined Karl’s team.
Unfortunately, Black Cat hadn’t been in action much these recent years, so he hadn’t managed to meet his idol yet.
Black Panther said, “When Nora impersonated Black Cat back then, she did a pretty good job… Never mind, I’m
going to meet the real Black Cat this time! I wonder who’s more impressive, Nora or Black Cat?”
As Karl stared at them, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but spasm.
Black Cat’s identity was sensitive—after all, she had taken so many lives, so it went without saying that her identity
must be kept a secret—so he hadn’t told these two dummies the truth yet.
Upon hearing what they said, Karl cleared his throat and nodded. “Alright, get going now!”
