Catherine's cold and stern attitude was unbearable for the Duncan trio.Francis stood frozen in place, staring at Catherine with a puzzled expression.Carlo was not as composed as Francis. Unable to tolerate Catherine's indifference, he erupted in anger."Francis, let's just withdraw from the competition and ignore this heartless woman."After expressing his thoughts, he felt that it was still not enough. When he thought about Catherine's attitude, a nameless fit of anger surged within him."You're a heartless creature! If it wasn't for our boss trying to please you, would he have suffered so much? Now that he is in trouble, we just want to save him. We don't even need your help. We just want you to let us go, but you refuse. You hold a grudge against him and want him dead, don't you?""Humph..." Catherine sneered. The look in her eyes was as sharp as a honed blade shooting toward Carlo."You know me well. You're right. I want to torment him!"For Carlo, Branden was not only hi
Outside the ward, Paxton had almost brought all the medical experts from the laboratory, and they were in the midst of a consultation. Branden was still in a comatose state and had not woken up yet. No one knew the reason behind this coma or what method could be used to wake him up.Another hour passed, but there was still no sign of any recovery. In a state of panic, Paxton reached for the gun at his waist, preparing to rush in. His subordinates quickly held him back, saying, "Paxton, don't be hasty!"While Paxton could remain calm in other situations, he couldn't calm down when his invincible boss encountered a problem. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, his emotions were no longer stable.Suddenly, a cold voice disrupted the chaos. "What are you doing here?" Everyone turned around and saw Catherine walking towards them with an arrogant stride. Paxton, already enraged, saw Catherine's arrival as an outlet for his anger. He charged at her directly, angrily asking,
Thomas's scolding left everyone present dumbfounded. The attending physician stared at Thomas in disbelief, his face filled with fear. "Mr. Theo, what's going on? Is there anything wrong with my previous treatment plan?" he asked."What treatment did you perform? Tell me!" Thomas impatiently looked at the attending physician, his eyes filled with disgust.The attending physician lowered his head and responded cautiously, "Mr. Theo, since we haven't been able to determine the cause of Mr. Duncan's coma, we have only conducted various tests and have not administered any medication."He had no choice. He was also innocent. Branden's status was so noble that he couldn't just come up with a treatment plan casually. What if something unexpected happened? He couldn't afford the consequences! Every step he took was extremely cautious. After numerous discussions, he finally made the decision. And because there were different opposing opinions each time, which required constant argument
Catherine returned to the training ground, where the trainees were diligently conducting physical training. Even if Catherine, their instructor, wasn't present, they didn't dare to slack off.Carlo and his two brothers had already returned to the training ground. Their gaze remained fixed on Catherine when she appeared. Catherine approached them with an arrogant stride, her cold eyes giving off an icy aura.Once their eyes met Catherine's, fear gripped the hearts of the three men. It felt as if the funeral bells were tolling, accompanied by a mournful lament.Catherine glanced at the three men and pointed at them with her hand. "You, you, and you, step forward!"Silently, the three men stepped forward, their hearts pounding wildly. Their teammates beside them mourned silently for them. Everyone knew that the instructor had a reputation for being ruthless. If the instructor suddenly called them out by name, it couldn't be anything good.With her hands behind her back, Catherine
After the training was over, Catherine headed straight to the hospital.At the entrance of the ward, the people guarding Branden saw Catherine and voluntarily saluted her, each one more devout and respectful than the last.Catherine still had a cold expression on her face, showing no emotions and emitting a formidable aura.Paxton was inside the ward, and when he saw Catherine enter, he immediately saluted her with admiration in his eyes."Miss Swann!"Catherine glanced at him, her icy gaze at him lingering for only a second before shifting away.Branden had awakened. Just as Thomas had mentioned, Branden had exhausted himself physically and was too tired, so he fell asleep.This kind of physical exhaustion was not the ordinary tiredness that was caused by running too much, which only needed some sleep. Humans had only tapped into less than twenty percent of their physical potential, but under the influence of the experimental reagent, Branden had unlocked more than half of hi
When Paxton arrived, Catherine was no longer in the ward. He heard that she had gone to the training ground to train those little brats. He also received news that the Duncan trio had been severely tortured.Carlo had attempted to surrender several times, but the other two stopped him.Paxton could imagine how cruel Catherine's methods were.Branden, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes instantly when Paxton entered the room. His icy gaze was like a sword, bursting out from his eyes, sharp and horrified!"Where is she?"Paxton understood Branden's meaning and immediately gave an answer. "Boss, Miss Swann is still training them on the training ground!"If Branden had known earlier that Catherine was Anon, he wouldn't have spent a fortune to hire this instructor and bring her to Scorpion Island for training.The environment on Scorpion Island was harsh, and the training was tough. Catherine had gotten tanned these past few days, which made him feel heartbroken.Paxton didn'
As expected, Catherine's next move was incredibly cruel, mercilessly torturing people without any mercy. There weren't many people left to begin with, and she managed to torture them to the point where only eight people remained, including Branden. However, this wasn't the result of Catherine going easy on Branden. It was because of his overwhelming power. Despite suffering serious injuries, he was still able to stand out among this group of people and successfully survive. Tomorrow would be the last day of training. As long as they could survive the final test tonight, they would be considered successful in their training. No one knew how many more people Catherine was planning to eliminate. Or perhaps, none of them would be able to pass the test. On the first day of entering the training camp, everyone thought Catherine was joking. After all, they were here to train. How could they all be eliminated? But now, those who had said that Catherine was joking knew they were naïve
Catherine turned her head and looked at Paxton, her sharp gaze instantly tightening his heart, making even his breath unstable."Miss Swann, why are you looking at me like that?" Paxton asked, his voice trembling.Catherine said coldly, her face expressionless, "Since Branden forbids you from telling me, why do you bring me here?"People like them had to constantly remember their identities and responsibilities. They could be devoid of emotions and even cold-blooded, but they must always obey orders. Their only duty was to obey their superiors.Paxton knew that he had violated his boss's command, committing the most unforgivable and deadly mistake a follower could make. He silently lowered his head, straightened his back, and faced Catherine."Miss Swann, after the training ends tomorrow, I will go to my boss and accept my punishment." The consequences of disobeying orders would be more painful than death. Having worked for Branden for so many years, Paxton understood this bette
