chapter 0176 part 2
With a cocktail party invitation personally issued by the White House, those who could attend were naturally not ordinary people in terms of identity and status.
There were very few young people; most attendees were old men who held real power in consortiums. Their purpose for attending the cocktail party was also very clear: they were all here for Wakanda's Vibranium technology.
Even if the attendees weren't from the same class, they all had impressive backgrounds.
These old men were all shrewd individuals who had been in the business world for a long time. In situations like this, it was generally impossible for them to look down on people or engage in humiliating displays.
So, even though many people saw Rogue, who looked out of place in her hoodie, eating at the buffet area, no one said anything.
Most just smiled and cast kind gazes. After all, no one knew which old man's junior she was, and no one would make enemies for no reason.
But idiocy is like probability; as long as it's not zero percent, no matter how small the chance, it can still appear.
"Madam, this is a cocktail party held for Your Majesty. As a minimum sign of respect, you should remove your hood!"
A tall, bald-headed Black Person woman blocked Rogue's path and spoke to her in an accusatory tone, looking down on her.
Rogue looked up, her mouth full, like a little hamster with its cheeks stuffed with dried fruit.
"Uh, I'm sorry!" Although Rogue didn't know the origin of this aggressive Black Person, she didn't want to provoke trouble for Tang Song.
Hearing the Black Person woman's words, she hesitated for a moment, took off her hood, revealing a slightly youthful face, shoulder-length auburn hair, with two strands of silver-white hair hanging down by her temples.
Rogue didn't want to provoke trouble for Tang Song, but to the Black Person female guard from Wakanda, Rogue's act of showing weakness further confirmed her guess.
She glanced at Rogue's obviously cheap clothes, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
A freeloading intruder. These Federation People are useless. But it's a good opportunity to make these Federation People look foolish.
For Wakandans, especially the King's female guards who guarded T'Chaka, they didn't have much liking for the Federation that had provoked war.
If they could make the Federation People suffer a great humiliation at the cocktail party, that would naturally be for the best.
"Madam, I suspect your identity. For the safety of Your Majesty the King, I need to check your invitation!"
A hint of panic flashed in Rogue's eyes: "I didn't sneak in, I came with my companion, he has the invitation!" Rogue said, pointing to Tang Song who was standing not far away.
However, the arrogant Black Person female guard, having already made up her mind, didn't believe Rogue's words. Instead, she grabbed towards Rogue's arm, wanting to take her to question the security personnel responsible for this event.
Rogue was flustered by the situation and her own physique, afraid of hurting someone, and quickly retreated.
The commotion between the two quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"Check this girl's identity?"
Natasha Romanoff, also in a red dress, was surveying the venue. She quickly noticed the commotion here. Looking at the two arguing, she contacted the internal security responsible for the cocktail party's security work via her earpiece while walking towards them. Meanwhile, another Black Person female guard had already walked behind Rogue, and the two Black Person female guards surrounded Rogue.
"Excuse me! She is my female companion, is there a problem?"
Seeing the two Black Persons getting closer and closer, Rogue was anxious to the point of tears, afraid her ability would erupt and hurt them. Just then, Tang Song walked over in time and blocked her path.
The Black Person female guard glared at Tang Song: "Sir, I suspect she is an Assassin who infiltrated the hotel, threatening the safety of Your Majesty the King. I need to take her away to investigate!"
"Are you deaf? I said she's my female companion, can't you hear me!?" Sensing the malice from this Black Person woman with his Divine Sense, Tang Song said with a calm complexion:
"If there's something wrong with your ears, I can contact a nearby ENT hospital and get you a cochlear implant!"
"You! Rude Federation Person—"
The Black Person female guard was eager to try, exchanging glances with her companion, seemingly intending to go up together and teach Tang Song a lesson.
"Captain Renata, this is Mr. Tang, a guest invited by the White House Secretariat!"
Just then, a voice came. Natasha Romanoff, in a red dress, walked over and, seeing the tense atmosphere, quickly smoothed things over.
"Mr. Tang, there must be some misunderstanding!" After explaining to the female guard, Natasha Romanoff showed Tang Song a smile.
Tang Song glanced at Natasha Romanoff, then turned to Rogue and said: "Are you full? If you're full, I'll take you for a walk to clear your head!"
Rogue nodded, looking at the handsome Tang Song in front of her, her eyes seemed to sparkle with light.
Tang Song took her hand and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"She can't—" A female guard was about to stop them, but Tang Song put on a stern face and let out a cold snort.
The two Black Person female guards felt Tang Song's cold snort pierce their ears like an awl. Their brains felt a burst of severe pain, saw stars flashing wildly before their eyes, and stumbled and fell to the ground, unable to move at all for a long time.
With that cold snort from Tang Song, his vast Mental Power transformed into invisible long spikes that poked the brains of the two female guards. They were just ordinary guards; how could they endure being toyed with by Tang Song like this? "Someone, two people, someone here isn't feeling well..."
Natasha Romanoff watched Tang Song lead Rogue away by the hand, then looked at the two Black Persons slumped on the ground. She could only helplessly call internal security to carry them away first.
............
Outside Blair House at this time, a pouring rain had begun to fall at some point.
Rogue stood on the stone steps, took off her gloves, and carefully caught the rain with her hands, a heartfelt happy smile on her face.
Tang Song stood not far away, chatting with Hyde, accompanying Rogue as she watched the view in the rain...
