She immediately spun around and headed for the dressing room, her steps quick and eager.
"Serena..."
Black Jack frowned and called out to Serena in a hushed voice.
If she could see through this trap, someone as brilliant as Serena definitely saw it too.
If they actually found the necklace in her bag...
Serena simply raised an eyebrow, flashing Black Jack a faint, reassuring smile.
It clicked instantly!
If Serena was this calm.
It meant she already had a countermove lined up.
Black Jack decided to just sit back and enjoy the show.
Brushing off her worries, she followed Serena, Princess Isadora, and the swarm of curious guests as they all crowded into the dressing room.
As soon as they stepped inside.
Isabella eagerly snatched Black Jack's bag and shoved it into the guard's hands. "This is Miss Hazel's bag!"
The guard took it with a blank expression and began unzipping it in front of the entire crowd.
Isabella stared fixedly at the guard's hands, practically vibrating with excitement.
The zipper opened, inch by inch.
"Hold on!" Black Jack suddenly realized something, her expression shifting slightly.
When she changed into her dress earlier.
She had casually tossed her handgun into the bag.
If they pulled a gun out in front of all these people...
Even though gun control in the United Realmon States wasn't as strict as in Elyndor.
Finding a weapon in her bag...
Wouldn't that just validate all the nasty assumptions about her and the Ghost Alliance crew?
