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
In just 10 minutes, Catherine managed to open the safe. Paxton, Francis, and Carlo watched her closely as her fingers swiftly tapped on the keyboard. They couldn't see clearly what she was typing before the safe opened. They were shocked by what they had seen. Their mouths were agape.Branden, on the other hand, leaned against the side with an expression of pride on his face. After all, his girl was truly outstanding.After opening the safe, Catherine carefully took out the contents. Once she confirmed everything was in order, she took out her phone and contacted Zobber. With the task completed, she casually tossed the precious safe aside.Catherine's casual act dumbfounded Paxton, Francis, and Carlo. They knew Catherine's formidable combat skills, but they never expected her to have such amazing computer skills.They were well aware of how difficult it was to open the safe. Otherwise, the people from Rexinheim wouldn't have risked their lives to take the entire safe away. They c
When Zobber entered the house, she was stunned by what she saw. Catherine was sitting in the middle of the sofa. Several young men surrounded her. They were completely focused on her phone.Zobber nudged Withal, asking, "What's going on?"Withal rolled his eyes. Lately, he felt like his eyes were twitching from rolling them too much."What's going on? Can't you tell that Catherine is playing games?" Withal replied, ignoring Zobber. How could he miss the thrilling scene of Catherine dominating her opponents?Catherine had reached the final of this game. She was leading Francis and Carlo against four professional players from the opposing team.Currently, the situation was that all three opponents, except the captain, had been eliminated. On their side, only Catherine remained.It was now a one-on-one showdown between Catherine and the top-ranked player on the server, Hero.Hero played for the powerful Golden Star Professional League and was considered the best player in the count
Zobber suddenly shouted, startling everyone.Francis slowly lifted his head and looked at Zobber with a calm expression. He had already learned from Catherine that the person he had fought against was Catherine's ally. But he didn't expect this girl to be so pretty. Her vibrant purple-red hair looked bold and unrestrained.Zobber, seeing Francis sizing her up, couldn't help but ask irritably, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before? Be careful, or I'll poke your eyes out."Francis remained calm. Although Zobber seemed fiery-tempered, he was not an ordinary person who got easily intimidated.Carlo, standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up for Francis when he saw Zobber making a fuss."How dare you call yourself a beauty in front of Catherine? Also, why did you shout so loudly for no reason? Do you think we're deaf, just like you?"Hearing Carlo's mockery, Zobber immediately became furious."What did you say, you brat? Do you believe I'll slap your face?"Ca
Zobber was focusing on completing the new mission Catherine assigned her, with no spare time to gossip.The holiday had come to an end, and Catherine returned to school.After Beatrice left, the dorm room seemed more spacious and comfortable.As soon as Catherine entered the room, she saw Amelia sitting on a chair with her feet propped up. Amelia was watching a live-streaming video on her computer.Hearing the sound, Amelia turned her head and saw Catherine. She waved at Catherine excitedly and asked, "Catherine, do you play the mobile game 'PlayerUnknown's Storms?'"Catherine nodded slightly. She had indeed been playing that mobile game recently.Amelia looked down on Isabella for being a bookworm and not playing games. Seeing Catherine nod, Amelia became extremely excited and quickly introduced her new idol."Catherine, since you play this game, you must know the top player, Hero. He's become very popular on the internet, not only because he's good at the game, but also becaus
