Queenie fell silent for a while.

After speaking, she took a sip of red wine and said, “For so many years, the mysterious organization never contacted me, and I naively thought that I had really broken free from them. But unexpectedly, right after you obtained the V16, I received their summons. And now, I must hand over the V16 to them.”

“Because of my family.”
