Catherine did not stand up to leave until Branden received all the injections and had his wounds bound up.She was the instructor, and her mission was to train the trainees. Her private matter should not keep her too long.As soon as Catherine left, Paxton pounced toward the bed to serve Branden.When Catherine was there, Branden did not allow anyone to get near him. He endured the pain and everything.Paxton could feel the pain by only watching it."Sir, why do you have to do this?"Branden knew what Paxton meant and smiled bitterly. He said dispiritedly, "This is nothing compared to what I have done to her that year."Paxton did not know what to say upon hearing Branden.Branden was willing to do that as his atonement to Catherine. What could Paxton say?The anesthetic started to come into effect, and Branden was gradually unconscious. Before he fell into sound sleep, he gave Paxton one last order."Call the lab. Ask them to deliver the latest potion they developed."Paxto
Catherine told Ronin the details of what had happened these days.Ronin was stunned by Branden's actions."Catherine, he's inhuman and incredible." Branden even ignored his safety. If that were not inhuman, what would that be?Catherine did not respond, and Ronin kept talking."Catherine, are you still going to kill Branden?"Ronin was not sure of it. He could tell Branden was important to Catherine.But Catherine had been hating the chief of Red Star for three years and wished to kill him even in Catherine's dreams.After a series of twists and turns, Catherine's sworn enemy was now by her side and was her boyfriend. That was a horrifying twist.Any ordinary person would find it hard to accept.Ronin's question kept replaying in Catherine's mind. When she knew Branden was her enemy, she had thought of giving him a shot and killing him.But that thought only lasted for a moment. She would never kill him, but neither did she think of how to punish Branden.She did not arrange
The following morning.Catherine arrived at the training ground on time at eight, and the trainees were all waiting for her, including the newcomer, Branden.Branden fixed his eyes on Catherine since she showed up and never turned away."Sir, this is 0339 reporting for duty." Branden's voice was loud, clear, and firm.Catherine was in her usual disguise suit. Like she used to be, she was stern and commanding.She seemed to look at Branden casually, but she noticed his condition was so much different than it was yesterday."Are you sure you want to join the training?" Catherine asked, raising an eyebrow."Yes, sir!" Branden bellowed his answer.Catherine laughed grimly and commanded, "Back in the line."That was officially agreeing to Branden's joining the camp.The other trainees had no objection to Branden's joining.The tasks Branden had finished had gotten spread around. Surviving that kind of horrible environment proved his superior strength.Their training was dangerou
Catherine issued the latest training plan—group combat.Each group of three would compete in jungle battles against each other, and winning was the only goal.Because of the number of people, Branden, who joined in the middle, was isolated.Everyone wanted him in their group instead of in anyone else's.But before they could discuss the results, Catherine announced the answer—Branden was grouped with her.Catherine was an instructor and strong, but Branden was injured. Coupled with the fact that there were only two of them in the group, they seemed to be at a disadvantage.Therefore, no one had any objections to Catherine's arrangement.Branden came to Catherine's side with smiling eyes, his gaze following her closely, and he seemed to be in a good mood."Thanks, sir!"Catherine glanced at him with a cold face and said indifferently, "Wait for elimination if you are at the bottom later!"Branden did not care much about the harsh words and still looked in a good mood. He follo
An hour passed, and three small fish were already inside the fishing basket.It was enough for a meal for two, and now it was a race against time.Branden quickly caught the fish, cleaned them, stuck them on a branch, and put them on the self-made roasting rack.Looking at the man's skillful movements, Catherine finally realized why the man was so good at cooking.It seemed that he had gotten a lot of outdoor training!Watching the man's bold behavior of building a fire, Catherine curiously surveyed him. "Isn't he worried about being discovered?" she thought.The fire smoke would surely expose their location.Those in the other teams were all capable fighters. If they sneaked into the neighborhood and surrounded them together, she couldn't be sure that she and Branden would be a match for so many people.Catherine had doubts in her mind but didn't show a single sign of dissent.Branden patiently picked off the bones of the grilled fish and handed it to Catherine."Have some o
Catherine looked around for a while and finally located Branden.The location of his ambush was very well hidden. If she hadn't been standing high above the ground and Branden had shot first, she wouldn't have been able to find him.Standing high, Catherine could also tell that the team below was preparing to evacuate.Unfortunately, it was too late!The feast of carnage belonging to Branden was about to begin!After Branden pulled the trigger a second time, Catherine also made her move.Like a competition, she and Branden fought for points in this small, dense forest.They weren't competing against another team. Instead, they were competing against each other.The broadcast on the screen shocked everyone in this battle.[Anon beats the member of Team 3, +1 point.][0399 beats the member of Team 2, +1 point.][Anon beats the member of Team 4, +1 point.]...The broadcast on the screen was constantly updated, and wailing filled the dense forest. As one after another team me
"What's there to regret about trading your life for a chance?"Branden cocked his brows and looked at Catherine with a smile.He didn't care, so why was she worried?Catherine threw the things in her hands away, leaned back and was about to get some rest.Conditions were limited in the dense forest, and Catherine wasn't fussy, so she could rest just by leaning against a rock.Just as she was about to lie down, Branden stretched out his long arm and pulled Catherine up in an embrace."Here you go. You'll be more comfortable like this."Catherine didn't refuse. She adjusted to a comfortable position in Branden's arms and began to rest.Everyone's stamina was limited, and the battle had already tired them out.Now that their team was in the top three of the leaderboard, a little rest and full preparation for the night's competition was the best thing they could do.The place Branden chose was very well hidden. Resting peacefully here for a few hours would not be a problem.Bran
Ten minutes later, Cory and Francis, who had been waiting outside, realized that Carlo hadn't emerged from the cave yet. They knew that something must be wrong.The strangest thing was that they were guarding the entrance of the cave, but they didn't hear any movement from inside.With Carlo's ability, even if the other party was a powerful expert, he would be able to send them a final signal at a critical moment. There was no way he could just disappear without a trace.Francis and Cory glanced at each other, and the perennial tacit understanding made the two of them understand each other's intentions.Inside, the cave was dimly lit, and the air was humid.The cave was a natural treasure place in the dense forest, easy to defend and hard to attack.In order not to let the people inside the cave discover their presence, Francis and Cory chose to climb in slowly along the steep walls of the cave.The cave was quiet inside. It was so quiet that even their breathing could be heard
