No one expected someone to use a sniper rifle in this kind of venue as soon as the game started. The sniper directly exploded the level 1 helmet of No. 3 with a single shot, scaring her into a terrified scream.Branden raised his eyes toward Catherine with a questioning look in his eyes.When their gaze met, Catherine instantly read Branden's meaning. She pressed down on the small eye icon at the top of the screen and scanned to make sure of the enemy's location."Direction 170, southeast. You take a cover in the next room."Hearing Catherine report a direction, Branden glanced in the direction. He crouched down and did not hide inside the small room next door.He would not hide behind a woman and let her face the bullets. He would feel ashamed of himself if he did so.Catherine was observing the enemy's position when she heard No. 3 shouting in her earphones. "No.1, No. 2, can you guys make a move? I'm hit. Get me up. What are you waiting for? No. 4 has to shoot the enemy and sa
Because of Catherine's words, Branden, who had always been unsmiling and cold, raised the corner of his mouth slightly. In a deep, hoarse, and magnetic voice, he said, "Wasn't it obvious enough?"Catherine was silent for a while. There wasn't much emotion on her face, making it impossible for others to guess what she was thinking.After a while, Catherine slowly raised her head to look at Branden, an obscure enveloping between her eyebrows on her delicate face.Her beautiful eyes were slightly raised. She looked calm and relaxed, and her tone was light, as if she was not talking about herself."I'm a jinx. I'm destined to be lonely, and the people I am with will either be dead or injured!"It was the 21st century, but some people still cringed because of these ridiculous remarks.After hearing Catherine's words, Branden smiled faintly. His deep gaze fell carelessly on Catherine's face, gently sweeping over. He looked lazy, but his attitude was firm, and his tone was even more dom
The corner of Catherine's mouth curled up into a faint smile, making her look quite mysterious and unpredictable. She stared intently at the handsome man at her side.Her gentle voice sounded both deep and hoarse. "Guess!"The simple word made the gentleness in the bottom of the man's eyes grow deeper and thicker, just like the beautiful moonlight that could not be dissipated.Branden understood what she meant. Since she wanted him to investigate independently, he would do it himself.He didn't believe that with the ability of the Duncans, he couldn't even find out about this.The more challenging something was, the more interesting it was, wasn't it?It was getting late. Catherine had classes tomorrow, and Branden was in control of her situation."Let's go. I'll send you back to rest. You have classes tomorrow!"Was this man treating her as one of those little girls who had just become an adult and was busy with daily classes?Fine with her. As long as he was happy!Catherin
As soon as Catherine stepped into the classroom, Ronin immediately stood up and went up to say hello to her.Previously, it was George who used to be the first one to reach class. Today, George discovered that Ronin had arrived when he arrived at class.At first, he thought Ronin was a good student who loved to study and who wished he could go to class early to study every day, but later, he realized that he was wrong. He was completely wrong.It turned out that Ronin didn't go to class so early to study.After entering the class, Ronin took a small electric pot from his school bag. It was the kind of pot that could heat food.Afterward, his actions dumbfounded George.George didn't expect Ronin's cooking skills to be so good, and even more so, he didn't expect Ronin to go to class early in the morning to make breakfast.He initially thought Ronin was living an exquisite life and pursuing perfection, but then he found out that Ronin didn't eat the food he cooked.It wasn't unti
In the afternoon, because of the approaching celebration gala, the students used gym class as a practice class under the arrangement of the gym teacher.Bryan had someone take over the practice room early in the morning. He couldn't wait to take Catherine there, ready to let her feel his efforts these days.After choosing the best viewing position, Bryan carried a stool and placed it before Catherine."Boss, please!"David and the others followed, looking at Bryan expectantly."Bryan, go for it!"Ronin was the last one to enter the door. He just happened to hear the cheers of David and the others. He disdainfully snorted and said sarcastically, "Tsk, tsk... You've only practiced for a few days and are so arrogant. Do you really think you're a genius?"Bryan turned his head slowly sideways, his eyes staring at Ronin with disdain. The atmosphere in the practice room instantly became weird. Inexplicably, there was a kind of tension.After David and the others felt the pressure of
Catherine glanced at the crowd coldly before fixing her icy gaze on Bryan.The moment her gaze landed on him, Bryan reacted swiftly.Bryan stood up abruptly. His handsome face darkened as he looked unfriendly at Elena and the others. He didn't mince words as he said, "You think you can play a couple of tunes and dance a bit, and suddenly you're an expert? And now you want to give others advice? When did it become your turn to instruct me?"Elena blushed deeply at Bryan's blunt taunt. She hadn't expected Bryan to be so harsh.She stomped in frustration and tried to explain herself. She didn't want Bryan to misunderstand her."Bryan, I..."Before she could utter another word, Bryan raised a hand to silence her.The sound of her voice seemed to send shivers down Bryan's spine. Annoyance was written all over his face. Bryan said, "Enough. Just shut up!"After Elena was scolded twice in a row, although she usually had a strong composure, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears
After speaking, Catherine walked away, and Ronin followed closely behind.As Catherine stood at the doorway, a Murion-made Rolls-Royce suddenly pulled up. It came to a smooth stop right in front of Catherine.Branden, who was in the car, rolled down the window and revealed his handsome face.He tilted his head and looked at Catherine. His eyes were clear and deep, which radiated a lethal charm."Get in."Branden's husky voice came through his parted, thin lips.Ronin, who had caught up, happened to witness this scene. He looked at Branden with disdain.Ronin thought inwardly, "Everyone seemed to be trying to get close to Boss." Ronin was determined not to let the scheming Branden succeed."Boss, I drove here today too. Let me give you a ride back."Catherine agreed to the car ride. Naturally, she had to show him some respect.She had no reason to decline since he was willing to pick her up personally.She turned and glanced at Ronin. Then she said in a soft voice, "No need."
Catherine, who was accompanied by Branden, walked into the Charm Bar. It was the top entertainment venue in Casier.For Catherine, it wasn't her first time here. She knew her way around.Today marked the birthday of Aidan Lane, a close friend of Branden's. Moreover, the Lanes were once a famous wealthy family in Casier.Aidan had settled abroad with his family as the Lanes' overseas business flourished.This year, their business brought them to Casier. And it happened to coincide with his birthday. So, Aidan had gathered a group of friends to celebrate.Even Branden couldn't resist the rare occasion and made a personal appearance at the gathering. He rarely participated in gatherings within the circle.The most luxurious room at the Charm Bar had been reserved for the occasion by Aidan. The people who presented were all his closest friends.As everyone began to arrive, they noticed that Branden had yet to show up. Someone decided to ask Aidan directly.One of them asked, "Aidan
