Chapter 1728: Angel Takes Action
A moment ago, a car drove to the charity function.
In the car, Jenny looked helplessly at Angel, who was sitting opposite her. “Gabby… you’re too conspicuous in this outfit.”
Angel looked at her loose sweatpants and long-sleeved T-shirt, then at Jenny. “Should I take them off?”
Jenny said, “…Forget it. Your skintight suit underneath is even more eye-catching. I’ll pick out a few outfits for you when we have time. Consider them for work.”
Angel said, “Okay.” She then looked out the window at the people they drove past.
It was almost six in the evening, and the streets were bustling with people.
Before Luke caught her, she hadn’t been in the right frame of mind to enjoy everything.
As a bystander, she liked to observe people and how they lived ordinary lives in this big city.
Although not everyone was happy, they were free to walk under the sky.
Soon, the car reached the building where the charity function was being held, and Jenny walked in with Angel and two bodyguards.
When they entered the hall, they saw Pepper walk toward Reception Room 2.
Jenny smiled. “Pepper’s here too. Let’s go say hi to her first.”
The four of them walked over.
Pepper was a little faster, and Jenny was ten meters away when Pepper entered the room.
Jenny stopped and said, “Fine, it seems she’s meeting someone else first.”
Hearing that, Angel looked around, and just happened to see two waiters follow Pepper in and close the door.
Angel didn’t think much of it at first, but a bodyguard behind her murmured, “The servers here are really considerate.”
Angel’s heart jumped when she heard that.
She looked at the other reception rooms, only to see that there were no waiters.
Then, two more waiters walked into the reception room.
Angel vaguely understood from their vigilant gazes before they entered that something wasn’t right.
It wasn’t that Angel was slow, but that there were a lot of people here, and they were all bigshots. Thus, security was tighter.
She hadn’t expected anyone to sneak in and brazenly abduct Pepper.
Thinking quickly, she pulled Jenny two steps back to the bodyguards behind them and said in a low voice, “Something’s wrong with the waiters in the reception room.”
Stunned for a moment, Jenny then got it.
At that moment, Angel was already pulling her toward the door.
After a brief hesitation, Jenny asked, “Can you save her?”
Angel frowned. “My job is to protect you.”
Jenny immediately said, “They can take me out. Those people probably won’t come looking for me, right? Have them bring the car over immediately.”
She was speaking to the bodyguards behind her.
Angel moved quickly, practically supporting Jenny as she moved.
V had entrusted her with the commission to protect Jenny, and she didn’t want any problems.
However, if she could get Jenny out of the hall and into the car, Jenny indeed wouldn’t be in too much danger.
More importantly, Iron Man was an “external” member of the Bat Squad, and Angel naturally knew that Pepper was Iron Man’s “minder.”
Like Jenny, Pepper was an “ally” they had to do their best to protect.
Besides, those people were clearly after Pepper. If Jenny left the venue and was protected by the bodyguards, she would be in far less danger than Pepper, who had already entered the reception room.
At that moment, the four of them reached the entrance of the hall.
Angel let go of Jenny’s arm and gestured at the two bodyguards. “Everybody, stay alert and leave this place immediately. Take Miss Jenny and wait for me two blocks away.”
Jenny only had time to say, “Be careful,” before she was escorted out by the two bodyguards.
Her car pulled up.
The two bodyguards had already passed on Angel’s order. The three-car convoy started moving, with one car leading the way and another following from behind to protect Jenny’s car in the middle.
The team leader in the passenger seat immediately started making arrangements. “Unlock the equipment. Drones, take off. Pay attention to suspicious cars around you, and then people.”
After he gave the order, Jenny said, “Have one drone follow Gabby.”
“Yes.” That was what the team leader had planned to do. In any case, his patron had a lot of equipment.
Each car in the convoy carried ten drones, which they could never finish using.
After Angel got out, she swiftly went back.
She was quite fast, but her movements were as natural as possible. Most people would just think that she was walking a little too fast.
Naturally, she didn’t want to arouse the suspicions of possible accomplices of the people who were abducting Pepper.
At the same time, she contacted the Dark Knight. “Pepper’s been caught. I’m on my way to save her.”
Luke was stunned. “Where?”
Angel shared her location with Luke. He immediately asked, “How’s Pepper? Is her life in danger?”
Angel said, “I’m not sure.”
Thinking for a moment, Luke ordered decisively, “You can go all out. Don’t be careless.”
Angel: “Copy that. I’m going in.”
With that, she pressed hard on the large door of Reception Room 2.
The door lock broke to reveal a crack.
As the door opened, Angel smelled something burning, and saw that a hole big enough for two people to pass through had been burnt into the wall.
Pushing off of her toes, Angel dashed in.
She glanced at a middle-aged man who was tied up on the side, and kicked him behind the couch to prevent him from seeing too much.
Then, Angel’s nanosuit began to cover her body. She didn’t stop moving as she controlled her strength and ran soundlessly to the hole.
Compared with the nanosuit’s suspension function, she preferred to use her physical strength, which was 100% under her control.
This was also the attack method she was most confident in.
The next moment, she stuck her head out of the broken wall and looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps.
She saw eight criminals dressed as waiters along with Pepper, who was being carried at the very front.
Quickly planning her attack, Angel gently moved to the side so that her feet were in the most suitable stance for exerting strength, and she bent down.
At that moment, she was like a tiger on a hunt, and she flexed her muscles.
The last criminal seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.
Swoosh!
Angel’s body turned into a blurry shadow and instantly hit the man.
The enormous force sent the criminal crashing heavily into the wall.
