Chapter 757: Chapter 478: So You’re the Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Part 2)

According to Camilo Nogueira, the fact that Nora Scott is Zero and Master Sliver was already enough to shock him.

So beautiful, yet talented and capable... Pedro Langley is just clinging onto power.

Before submitting a commission to Biel Hall, Camilo Nogueira had done some investigation into it. A very old civilian intelligence organization that merged with the authorities in the 1980s, becoming an organization under official protection, with specialized training institutes for intelligence personnel. Its network, having developed over a century, spreads nationwide, and recently, all procedures have aligned with the times due to restructuring issues, showing robust growth and undeniable capabilities over the past six months.

The only problem is that the hall retains fairly rigid rules, using a "ceding system" for inheritance, with most powers held in the hands of the Hall Master.

When he came here, Camilo Nogueira regretted not looking into the identity of the Hall Master, even wondering if it was some old geezer, and as it turns out—

Nora Scott?!

Pedro Langley has been loyal to Nora Scott for so many years, clearly seeing her prospects and development, wanting to cling to her for an easy life!

That scoundrel.

"Hmm." Nora Scott sat on a single sofa, raising her eyebrows at Camilo Nogueira, "Do you need some time to process this?"

After three seconds of silence, Camilo Nogueira sighed deeply, "...I’m good now."

"Then let’s get down to business."

Nora Scott glanced at the other three.

The three of them each took a seat.

The atmosphere was relatively relaxed, with five people sitting around the sofa, and the documents placed on the coffee table.

Nora Scott knew nothing about it, and the matter had to be explained from the beginning.

"My commission is to find the person in the portrait," Camilo Nogueira produced the portrait crafted by an expert, "but someone informed me that the person in the portrait is related to your hall and told me to come here."

The portrait was drawn by Camilo Nogueira based on his memory of the kidnapping, depicting the person who kidnapped him—the one behind looking for Master Sliver.

However, Nora Scott had heard about this but had never seen the portrait.

Nora Scott took the portrait and, with one look, was stunned.

Meanwhile, Barton Mansfield began speaking, "This person is likely the grandson of the previous Hall Master."

Nora Scott paused.

Two pieces of information detonated in succession, and it took Nora Scott a second to regain her composure.

Nora Scott’s expression was indifferent, "The troublemaker in our hall?"

Rosie Sullivan + Barton Mansfield + Amy Mansfield: "..." This is a whole other story.

Camilo Nogueira was somewhat surprised, not expecting that in casually finding an organization to locate someone, he ended up targeting their own family.

—The grandson of the previous Hall Master.

This definitely spells trouble.

He wondered whether they might abandon the idea of silencing him, seeing as they respect Nora Scott’s standing.

But Nora Scott’s face remained cold as she pulled up a sketch from her phone, tossed it on the table, and raised an eyebrow, "See for yourselves."

The four of them glanced at the phone screen.

All were stunned.

It was also a portrait, different from the one in Camilo Nogueira’s hand, but very clearly, the two portraits shared a strong resemblance, differing mainly in hairstyle and age—it wouldn’t be too far off to preliminarily determine they were the same person. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

???

Four pairs of eyes once again glanced at Nora Scott.

"I’ve been investigating this person for over a year," Nora Scott said, "He caused the death of one of my friends, nearly caused the death of two others, and almost killed me."

Rosie Sullivan + Barton Mansfield + Amy Mansfield: "..."

!!!

What the hell!

Camilo Nogueira thought to himself: Your hall’s internal relations are indeed complex, it’s practically a palace drama. Does Pedro Langley know if his connection is at risk of being killed at any moment?

Barton Mansfield was the most composed, though he couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat at the thought of the personal vendetta involving Nora Scott and this person. He paused and asked as calmly as possible, "Hall Master, what is this about?"

Nora Scott turned her head, seeing Camilo Nogueira’s eager expression, lost the interest to speak, and changed her course, "We’ll talk later."

Camilo Nogueira: "..." Can’t catch a break on the gossip.

However, since Nora Scott avoided him... Pedro Langley probably doesn’t know about this.

Nora Scott nodded, "You all talk."

The commission from Camilo Nogueira mainly involved conversation between Barton Mansfield and Camilo Nogueira, with Amy Mansfield, Rosie Sullivan, and Nora Scott acting as bystanders.

The previous Hall Master, Len Vaughn’s grandson, is named Alexander Vaughn. He is 29 years old this year and disappeared seven years ago after stealing the Token from Biel Hall, along with the Token, vanishing without a trace.

Alexander Vaughn grew up in Biel Hall, although he was not a member, he was considered half a member of the hall.

Biel Hall has also been investigating Alexander Vaughn’s whereabouts all along. However, as this is a family scandal, it has only been known to a few key members internally; the rest of the hall is unaware.

In conclusion, Biel Hall decided to accept Camilo Nogueira’s commission for free.
