Ao Zilong felt extremely aggrieved. There was some information about Beatrice in their database, but unlike Dante, Beatrice had never publicly revealed her SDI after being targeted in school when hers grew rapidly.
So while they were aware that Beatrice was strong given the displays of power she had made, they never did take her seriously, at least not as much as they should have given Portia was back and was more… verbose.
Beatrice recently seemed perfectly content to be in the background and let Dante or her mother shine and stand out, leading to people forgetting her pedigree and her fearsome title as the Lady of Genocides.
My Brother in Christ, during an era of 10 or so years - an entire decade!! - many aliens couldn't sleep well at night because of Beatrice, not knowing when their entire family or species would be removed from the galactic camp after being randomly accused of being rebel factions.
