Operation Red Book

Chapter 476: Just the Master's Mission

The embers left after a blaze of fire are the most heart-burning.

Ivy stood there in a daze for a long time. People came and went passing by her, but Ivy kept looking in the direction where Joshua disappeared with hazy eyes, as if he would never come back.

Yes, it seems like he will never come back...

Thinking of this, the tears in Ivy's eyes turned faster.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a shrill cat cry came from behind. The people around were startled and looked towards the security entrance at the edge.

The troublesome activity problem was even worse for Ivy. She frowned and turned to look at the twisting crowd.

I saw a tall, sexy woman in white blocking the security entrance with her arms. She was wearing very little fabric, revealing her golden-wheat shoulders and slender legs.

The oversized wide-brimmed hat covered most of her face, and her seaweed-like hair and cat-like eyes hid in the darkness.

On her shoulder lay a one-eyed black cat, whose eyes were so emerald that the most beautiful jewels in the world pale in comparison.

Both the man and the cat looked very impatient. The black cat with its eyes erect was breathing loudly, and the woman in white with red lips was saying a lot of gibberish in a bad tone.

"Meow! Ha——"

"?Por qué no nos dejan entrar!"

Why won't you let us in?

"Pets need to be on a leash!" The one who stopped her was a young man.

"?Es un gato, no una mascota! ?Maldito inglés!"

(It's a cat, not a pet! Mean British people!)

"Entonces, ?Por qué está en tu hombro?"

(Then why is it lying on your shoulder?)

The young police officer suddenly spoke fluent Spanish. This response was so sudden that Ivy and the crowd watching the show were startled.

The most shocking person among them was the woman in white. She stood up straight, and her golden wheat cheeks seemed to be sprinkled with some pink blush.

"You speak Spanish?" she asked doubtfully.

"I can speak not only Spanish, but also Latin, French, Italian, Dutch and even Mandarin. Madam, why do you think I, at such a young age, can get such a stable and reliable job?"

"because……"

The woman in white pinched the brim of her hat, and her long satin gloves were wrinkled into sections that looked like shimmering waves.

She glanced up and down at the boy in front of her and started to mock:

"You are the king of the cows and horses?"

"Wrong! Because I am the defender of Great Britain, I am His Majesty's servant, I am the Guards of London! I am highly valued by the leaders, if I work hard, I can become the team leader of Scotland Yard within two years!"

The young police officer stood at attention and shouted at her in a loud voice.

Now, everyone became dumbfounded.

The red lips under the brim of the hat paused, and then tilted to the horizon: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference! I am the defender of Great Britain! I am His Majesty..."

"That's enough, that's enough. We heard you the first time..."

Ivy walked up to the two of them without knowing when.

"Sir! Good morning!"

"Keep your voice down!" Even an outgoing person like Ivy began to feel embarrassed. She asked someone to disperse the crowd of people watching the excitement and lowered her voice. "What's the matter with this lady?"

"Report sir!"

"Keep your voice down!" Ivy almost yelled.

"Yes! Sorry sir! The lady won't put a leash on her pet!"

"This is not my pet, this is my family!" the woman in white retorted angrily, her familiar Spanish accent obvious.

"That's nonsense! Either the cat stays and you go in, or both of you put on leashes and I lead you in!"

"Who stipulated it!"

"This is a task assigned by the master! I must complete it!"

"Master?" The woman in white was surprised and secretly delighted.

"Master?" Ivy felt vaguely uneasy in her confusion.

"That's right!" The young police officer suddenly saluted Ivy, shaking the rabbit ears on his head. "That's the officer's mission!"

"Keep your voice down!" Ivy was going crazy.

The air was frozen for a long time. Ivy pinched the wrinkles between her brows irritably and admitted hesitantly in a low voice: "Oh, yes, that's what I said."

As soon as these words came out, Ivy felt two hot and scorching gazes shooting towards her, making her skin feel itchy.

"Eres tu."

(It’s you…)

Feeling the naked gaze of the woman opposite her, Ivy sighed deeply and decided to just go for broke.

"Hola...Ms. Ivy..."

"Bribe me a hundred thousand pounds and I'll let you in, Miss Beatrice de Poppa..."

The two spoke out their thoughts in unison, and were shocked by each other's words.

"You still remember me?"

"One hundred thousand pounds is too expensive!"

The two ladies once again expressed their thoughts in unison, and this time, they were amused by each other and themselves for a moment.

After a long moment, Beatrice coughed twice, snatched the leash from the police officer and handed it to Ivy.

"It's not that I don't want to put this ugly rope on it, it's just that it doesn't like being tied up, so I helped it refuse..."

Beatrice held her head high as she said this.

Ivy saw those jewel-like eyes, but Beatrice was naturally extremely arrogant and refused to look her in the eye.

But Ivy was not angry. She raised her eyebrows, took the blue and white leash and walked to the black cat.

The black cat's emotions were more stable than Ivy's. It looked calmly at the girl walking towards it, its ears trembling slightly.

Ivy first blinked at it slowly, then carefully stretched out a finger and slowly moved it in front of the black cat's nose.

"Thank you. She doesn't like to eat people's fingers."

“I’m saying hello to it.”

The black cat sniffed for a long time with its pink nose, then tilted its head and rubbed Ivy's fingers hard.

"Oh! It said its head itches and it needs to be washed."

“It likes me.”

Ivy turned over her palm and gently scratched the black cat's chin. Listening to the black cat's comfortable purring, a smile finally appeared on Ivy's stiff face.

"Now you can put on the leash."

Ivy rubbed the leash with her hand that had touched the cat's fur, and then placed it in front of the cat's nose.

The black cat sniffed carefully. The process took a while, but Ivy was very patient.

Finally, when the cat's head rubbed against it heavily, Ivy immediately opened the loop and put the leash around the upper half of the black cat's body.

"Good boy...good boy..."

Ivy stroked the black cat's chubby cheeks while saying nice things, until the black cat purred again. Then she turned to Beatrice, who looked confused, and explained the reason for the "animal leash":

"There are too many people at the market, and timid animals will be frightened and stressed. If they are not on a leash, they will run around like crazy."

"When the time comes, the baby won't be able to find its owner, and the owner won't be able to find his baby. Both sides will be very sad."

"No, it's the most beautiful and intelligent creature in the world, just like me!" Beatrice replied loudly like a spoiled child.

"I agree with both hands."

Ivy nodded the black cat's head and smiled as she agreed with Beatrice's words.

Then, she placed the black cat and the leash in Beatrice's palm, and her expression suddenly changed.

"The leash is £2000, and the labor fee is 20%. Cash or on credit?"

Beatrice was shocked when she heard such vulgar words: "What!"

"Or a £10 bribe..."

"You are robbers!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll ask Ms. Bell to kick you out."

"You!" Beatrice became visibly panicked when she heard Bell's name.

"Bell! Bell! Come here!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Beatrice's hair stood up like a cat.

After feeling around for a long time, she simply took off a purple gemstone ring from her glove and threw it disdainfully into Ivy's hand, which had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you, boss!" Ivy smiled sincerely.

She put the gem ring into her pocket and turned to tell the young policeman:

"Next time, try to touch your pet's head. There is no creature that doesn't like to be touched on the head by humans."

"Yes, sir! But some pet owners just don't want to put on a leash. What should we do in this case?"

"Then pat the master's head."

"Hmm? Sir, you..."

"If you look fierce, they will think you are crazy and won't dare to do anything else."

"Yes, sir!"

"I look forward to your transformation. Work hard, young man! The position of team leader will be yours sooner or later!"

"Yes Master!"

"Meow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint cat's meow suddenly sounded.

The little paw suddenly rested on Ivy's shoulder, followed by a light and happy weight.

"Why does your voice become like this? Do you have a cold?"

Beatrice looked at her black cat in confusion, with a lot of confusion brewing in her big eyes.

"It's flirting with me."

Ivy smiled and held the black cat in her arms, slowly running her fingers through its fur.

The long black tail wrapped around Ivy's arm the moment it lay down. After another soft cry, the black cat closed its eyes and stepped on her milk comfortably.

"I remember there was a stall selling dried fish not far away."

Ivy looked at both sides of the market and walked to the left.

After taking two steps, Ivy slowly turned her head and stared at Beatrice, who was full of astonishment, with threatening eyes:

"Why don't you come with me, little witch?"
