Intense training made all the freshmen suffer every day.Every night, after Amelia returned to the dormitory and took a shower, she would have a foot bath. According to her, if she didn't have a foot bath at night, she wouldn't even be able to walk the next day.Seeing Catherine sitting in a chair and playing games with her feet propped up, Amelia became even more curious."Catherine, you used more physical strength today than any of us. But why don't you feel tired at all?" she asked. She had never seen Catherine having a foot bath or doing anything like that to relax her muscles. Every time Catherine finished washing up, she would immediately start playing games without any signs of fatigue.After her roommates finished washing up, Catherine would turn off her phone immediately and rest with everyone else. Just as Catherine finished a game, she heard Amelia talking to her and turned her head to look at Amelia.Amelia was having a foot bath, her face twisted in pain, and she ke
Catherine had just hung up the phone when another call came in. Without even looking at the caller ID, she knew who it was.Branden knew that she was living in a dormitory now. He would call her every day at nine o'clock to avoid disturbing her, as she had to turn off the lights and go to sleep by ten.Catherine answered the call and held the phone to her ear. Branden's deep and attractive voice came from the receiver."I heard you participated in a competition today and even won a prize?"Even though Branden wasn't present, he knew everything related to her at school.Facing his knowingly asked question, Catherine didn't hesitate to expose him."Don't you know better than me?""Haha." Branden chuckled softly, his voice deep and husky."Are you angry? If you don't like it, I won't inquire about your affairs anymore."His cautious tone carried a sense of carefulness and probing. No one would believe that the esteemed president of the Duncan Corporation, the chief of Red Star, w
The day of the closing ceremony of the physical training arrived in the blink of an eye. All the freshmen were dressed in brand-new training uniforms, marching in perfect unison in front of the flag-draped podium.With the ceremony coming to an end, the freshmen's physical training journey also concluded. Immersed in the exhaustion brought by the training, the only thought on the mind of all the freshmen was for the training to end quickly. But now that it was truly about to end, they started to feel reluctant.Having spent half a month together, the thought of the instructors leaving weighed heavily on the freshmen's hearts. Amelia took out her Polaroid camera and raised her arm, shouting, "Let's take a group photo with the instructors!"The usually serious instructors appeared quite outgoing at this moment, satisfying various requests from the freshmen. Several girls expressed their desire to take individual photos with the instructors, and Amelia offered to help take the pictur
Catherine had just arrived at the school gate when she spotted a familiar figure waiting at the entrance.Branden knew she didn't want to attract too much attention at school, so every time he came to see her, he would purposely park his car outside Styre University or on a distant street and then walk in to find her.It was midsummer, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth.Branden stood under the shade of the trees at the school gate, his white shirt perfectly wrapping his figure, revealing his exceptional build. He wore a simple pair of black trousers, and the tailored cut made his already long legs appear even straighter, emitting a hint of restraint.From a distance, he looked like the campus heartthrob, looking handsome and charming. Passing girls couldn't help but glance at him, not willing to take their eyes off him.Branden, however, remained indifferent, his face devoid of any warmth.Then, he saw that familiar graceful figure appear, and suddenly, the ice in hi
Late at night, outside Loxton, Zobber and Withal parked a discreet black SUV in a pile of grass in front of a factory. The factory had been abandoned for many years, and the grass had grown taller than a person, making it quite hidden. However, very few people came here, so suddenly appearing in the workshop would definitely attract attention. Withal decided to leave the car where it was and sneak in while it was dark. When he got out of the car, however, Zobber grabbed him."I'll go. You keep watch!""Are you sure?" Withal asked.Zobber nodded without hesitation, not only because she wanted to impress the leader but also because she understood that this task suited her better. She was petite, agile, and less likely to be detected, although her combat skills were not as good as Withal's.Loxton was not their territory, so it wasn't suitable to cause a scene. It was better to use strategy. Withal didn't say anything more when he saw her determination, but he gave her a final rem
When Catherine spoke, Branden had already gotten up and stood behind her.In the moonlight streaming through the window, his perfect abs were clearly visible."Aren't you going out?" His deep voice brought Catherine's wandering thoughts back.As Catherine snapped back to reality, Branden had already put on a white shirt. While she was in a daze, he casually picked up her jacket and helped her put it on.But this jacket was a bit... thick. It was summer now, but he had brought her a long-sleeved jacket.Noticing Catherine's puzzled expression, Branden explained earnestly, "It gets chilly at night. It's better to wear more."This wasn't the first time Branden had done something like this. Indeed, nights were much colder than the daytime, so Catherine went along with him. The main reason was that she felt it would be too troublesome to take off her clothes again.The two of them went downstairs together. Branden didn't notify anyone. He just took the car keys and brought Catherine
Branden's voice caught the attention of the three of them.Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Branden remained calm. After all, he had gone through a lot of crises like this. He slowly lifted his head, his gentle gaze falling on Catherine."Are you looking for Mr. X's safe?" Catherine casually nodded. Since she had brought Branden, there was no need to hide it from him. "I took on a mission to find this safe." Branden sighed helplessly. His expression carried a faint smile, making it difficult to tell his current mood.Catherine sat up straight, crossed her arms, and raised an eyebrow as she stared at Branden beside her. That gaze seemed to say, "Spill the truth."If it were anyone else treating Branden with this attitude, they would have been sent straight to hell. But Catherine was different. She was the girl who held a special place in his heart, and he had to indulge her."Next time, why don't you let me know before taking on a mission?" Branden's tone carried a hint of helple
The next morning, Paxton arrived with his men at the entrance of the apartment next to Styre University.Francis and Carlo stood at the door, enduring the wind blowing for the entire morning. Finally, they couldn't take it anymore.Carlo, always the talkative one, was the first to speak. "Paxton, what's going on? We've been standing here for almost five hours. Can't we go in yet?"From seven in the morning until now, almost noon, Paxton showed no intention of opening the door.The wind in Loxton was biting in the morning, and the scorching sun near noon made people dizzy. It was truly torture.Paxton glanced at Carlo irritably and then looked down at the watch on his wrist. He said in a low voice, "Don't be impatient. It'll be another half an hour.""It'll be noon in half an hour," Carlo retorted, annoyed."So what? Are you tired? Do you want me to throw you into the mines in Ravenloth?" Paxton's tone was cold, and it scared Carlo.Cory was currently working in the mines in Rav
