Fortunately, this waiter had been working on the black market for quite some time, and he had some understanding of "Cassie."Seeing the tip on the table, the waiter accepted it calmly and started giving them some information."Gentlemen, Cassie is a legend in our black market. Her story begins five years ago!"A legend has been circulating in the black market for the past few years. There was an underground boxing champion in the black market who took one year to go from being a nobody to making a name for herself and becoming the champion everyone in the black market feared.The crowd knew very little about this champion.At first, they didn't know her name, age, where she came from, or even if she was a man or a woman.Even the nickname "Cassie" was only known after she told them herself."Cassie" had never lost a fight since entering the underground boxing.She even set an unbeaten record for winning continuous battles without sleep or rest for three consecutive days.She
Tyler knew that he had no chance of resisting in front of Catherine.It wasn't just because of Catherine's mysterious status but also Catherine's formidable influence that left him in awe."Can you help me save someone?"After hearing that, Catherine showed some interest. She glanced at him and asked, "Is this your third question?""Yes!" Tyler blurted out. He eagerly stared at Catherine. "Can you help me? If you help me, I'll obey your every command."Tyler had no resources now. All he could do was obey orders and gain acceptance from others."What's your name?"When Catherine asked, Tyler hesitated for a moment. He hadn't expected such an irrelevant question.Tyler remembered what he had said earlier. He immediately showed obedience."My name is Erick Olsen."Remembering Catherine's purpose in coming to him, Tyler added, "I share my mother's last name. Tyler is a nickname Killian gave me. You can call me Erick."Catherine knew he wasn't lying. The information she received
Before returning, Branden had considered asking Catherine why she appeared at the underground boxing gym and even inquiring about her intentions in taking Erick away.However, he abandoned all those thoughts when he saw Catherine's smile.There was no need to question these things.After all, Catherine trusted him so much and surrendered immediately.Branden reached out and gently caressed Catherine's beautiful face with his long fingers.His voice also softened instantly. "Are you hungry?"Catherine had rushed to the black market right after school and hadn't eaten anything.If Branden hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she hadn't eaten.She subconsciously moved her face closer to his hand and rubbed her cheek against his palm for some reason. She was just like a kitten seeking affection from its owner.The slight touch felt electrifying. It made Branden's heart instantly restless.In front of Catherine, Branden's once-proud self-control could easily crumble.
Ronin and Sean stopped arguing. Catherine noticed that Erick was staring at her with no reaction at all.Erick kept staring at Catherine without even a flicker in his eyes.Catherine hadn't worn a mask like last time when she came today. Her uncovered face was unbelievably beautiful. She was as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale. Erick was completely stunned.He had imagined countless faces behind her mask, but he had never thought Catherine would be so beautiful.Catherine glanced at him and continued walking forward. She paid little attention to Erick.Ronin immediately followed suit. Sean reached out to pat Erick's shoulder and teased, "Wake up, kid!"Sean wasn't surprised that Erick was shocked to see Catherine's true face.After all, the first time Sean saw Catherine's face, he had been dumbfounded for quite a while before returning to his senses.Erick realized the situation and hurriedly lowered his head to catch up. His reddened earlobes indicated his true feelings
The Winfreds were a prestigious family in Oceanvile.Oceanvile was renowned alongside Casier, and if Casier were considered the aristocracy, then Oceanvile would be a rising star.The Winfreds were involved in the mining business and made a fortune in previous years. Although they had a tough time in recent years, they had a solid financial foundation.A few months ago, they acquired a rare mine in South Apridon, which attracted envy from the whole industry.Now, they unexpectedly let go of this lucrative opportunity for the sake of an illegitimate child, which was a generous act.It was no wonder Sean didn't value family ties. The Scotts also used to be a prestigious family, and there was a lot of scheming and deceit among the wealthy. He had seen it all.When it came to profit, parents and siblings were all considered trivial matters."Cassie, is this a trap?"Catherine always thought Sean was reliable in his actions, and indeed he was. He never did anything without certainty
A black car slowly pulled up in front of the Winfreds'.This wasn't the Winfreds' primary residence, so the home wasn't magnificent.Before they arrived, someone had already gotten in touch with the Winfreds. Therefore, as soon as the car pulled up, someone was there to greet them."Greetings, I'm the butler. Mr. Winfreds and the others are waiting inside. Please follow me."Ronin nodded and walked in front.Erick was in the middle, and Catherine strolled along at the back.The butler locked his eyes on Erick as soon as the three of them got out of the car. It seemed that he had recognized Erick at first sight.Ronin found it odd and slowed down to walk beside Catherine."Hey, Catherine, why's the butler so fixated on Erick? Does he know him?"Catherine stayed silent, and Ronin didn't push it when he realized she didn't want to discuss it.Once they entered the Winfreds' digs, Ronin finally understood why the butler had been staring at Erick."Sir, Miss, the man at the foref
Catherine had just settled into the car when Ronin couldn't contain his curiosity."Catherine, what was Erick up to just now?"What made Ronin wonder was when Catherine casually reached out and touched Erick's hand at the end.They'd only met a few times, but they seemed really tight, which made him jealous!Catherine decided to brush off Ronin's question. She knew him too well.Every so often, Ronin would do something like this.Ignoring him was the way to go.Catherine adjusted her seat and told Ronin, "Give me a heads up when we arrive!"Seeing that Catherine wanted to take a break, Ronin understood that she didn't feel like talking. He stayed quiet and let her relax with her eyes closed.At the Duncans'.With the latest information in hand, Paxton knocked on the study door.He opened the door and entered the study only after hearing a "coming" from inside."Mr. Duncan, I have a message from the Winfreds!"In the dimly lit study, Branden was completely immersed in a cru
Catherine had just scolded Johnathan and given a little warning to the mischievous Liana.The house had become surprisingly quiet in the past few days. After a significant setback, Korbin was wary of picking fights with Catherine. Rachael was also busy looking after Johnathan to keep him out of trouble, leaving her with no time or energy to deal with Catherine.In Class 8, the atmosphere had changed significantly.Even after class, there were no more rowdy noises.Students mostly sat quietly, chatting in their seats, and the chaos was a thing of the past.Noticing that Catherine wasn't resting or playing games, Ronin brought a chair and sat close to her."Catherine, did you really send Johnathan to Dentler Academy?"Catherine casually nodded.Ronin believed sending Johnathan to Dentler Academy was a fitting punishment, but he couldn't help but worry.Dentler Academy was renowned for its life-and-death waiver agreement, which required all students to sign it.Although the
