With their night vision goggles, the two men in black could see clearly in the pitch-black environment. Their boss had warned them that the woman not only had good combat skills but was also very clever, so they had to be extra cautious. Quietly, they pried open the door of the restroom. In the pitch-black interior, their target lay motionless next to the toilet.One of the men gestured for his companion to drag Catherine, who had been rendered unconscious by drugs, out of the restroom. However, as his companion bent down to pull her up, he suddenly froze in place. "Alpha, what's going on? Pull her up!" The man found it strange and called out several times, but his companion remained unresponsive. In frustration, he reached out to pull his companion, trying to figure out if he had suddenly gone deaf or something unusual had occurred. To his surprise, when he gently pushed his companion, the latter suddenly collapsed. The unexpected turn of events shocked the man. He didn't have ti
Fergus immediately rushed to the hospital when he received the message. He had conducted extensive research on neurotoxins, but upon examining the virus sample extracted from Catherine's body, he said he had never seen this type of virus before. "Even a slight change in any value can affect the toxin. To wake Catherine up and neutralize the poison inside her, it is crucial to study its structure and components, and then we can find a way to counteract it," he explained."How long will that take?" Marshall appeared impatient, extremely concerned about Catherine's safety.Fergus pondered for a moment before providing an answer. "Three days, at least!""Three days!" Marshall furrowed his brow, his eyes reflecting worry.Eamon, who had rushed to the hospital with Marshall, muttered, "What about tomorrow's match? Catherine's going to miss it." To Eamon, the Bide Cup was a dream for many, and it would be regrettable if Catherine couldn't participate due to this unexpected situation."Al
The second round of the competition officially began, and only three teams could emerge victorious in this round. The winning teams would secure a spot in the final round, competing for the ultimate victory against the previous champions.Throughout the competition, the Styre Team was undoubtedly the most popular and prominent. Although they only sent two teams to compete, both advanced to the second round, showcasing unquestionable strength.As the competition was about to commence, members of the Styre Team were making their final preparations in the backstage lounge. Eamon looked towards the entrance of the lounge, asking, "Professor Hartley, Catherine can't come, right?""Alas!" Marshall sighed deeply. "She's still in the hospital. From now on, you all need to compete seriously. Don't bring shame to her."Eamon's eyes showed some disappointment. Catherine had always worked miracles for them. He thought she would do the same this time, but the miracle did not happen.Due to F
The competition was extremely intense, with the first half dominated by impressive teams. However, in the second half, there was a complete turnaround. For instance, Fergus's team had been quick in solving complex problems in the first half, far surpassing the neighboring team. But their speed noticeably slowed down in the second half, and the opposing teams caught them up. Seeing themselves in a disadvantaged position, Fergus's team was visibly disturbed, their mistakes increasing.As for Marshall's team, they had not been favored from the start because their speed was simply too slow. The opposing teams had completed two-thirds of the tasks while they had only completed one-third. However, at the last moment, with the help of the substitute, their teamwork was extremely coordinated, allowing them to reverse the speed and be the first to finish the game. As long as their completion rate did not fall behind the opposing teams and achieved a lower error rate, they would win.At the
Eamon was in a bit of disbelief after seeing the advancement list. "They actually won!"Unlike last time, after the doubts from last time, no one questioned the strength of the Styre Team this time. The match progressed smoothly.The Styre Team won the advancement card and would stand at the top of the third-round final to challenge the champion team.Seeing Marshall appear, Eamon immediately came forward. "Professor Hartley, did you see Marlon?"Marshall gave him a suspicious look. "Why are you looking for him?""I haven't seen him since the match was over." Eamon's eyes lit up at the mention of his junior brother, Marlon Pratt. "Professor Hartley, our team is really amazing. We have all kinds of talents. Originally, I thought that Catherine was already very powerful, but I didn't realize that Marlon was also so powerful. He really surpassed us."Marshall smiled coldly and said expressionlessly, "Marlon is too tired. He overachieved today and asked to go rest as soon as the matc
The second round of the competition had come to an end. There were two days of rest.Knowing that Catherine had awakened, as a representative, Eamon brought two members to the hospital with Marshall to visit her."Catherine, you heard about our team advancing, right?"Catherine nodded slightly with a particularly calm expression on her face.Eamon excitedly introduced their junior brother, Marlon, to Catherine. He kept praising Marlon as a rare genius with exceptional abilities, just like Catherine.Catherine just nodded lightly and did not respond much.Eamon chattered a lot more, making Marshall on the side a little impatient. "Eamon, Catherine just woke up. We should let her rest more!"After being reminded, Eamon finally realized. "Okay. Catherine, you rest more then. We will take our leave first. You take care. We will participate in the advancement competition together when you get better.""Okay, thanks for coming to see me!" After Catherine finished speaking, Eamon happ
Catherine reached for the information Zobber handed her. She went through the information of the members of the Altonian Team.She had to admit that there was indeed something great about the Altonian Team for them to be able to stand on the championship stage for so many years. Their team members were all the top players in this field at the moment.Catherine laughed softly when she turned to the last page of the lead mentors.She threw the information at Branden, signaling him to take a look.Atticus, the former doctoral mentor of Ellinos Academy, was now serving as the Altonian Team's lead mentor.Branden did not look surprised when he saw the information.He took out his cell phone and handed it to Catherine.A video was playing on the phone screen. The main character in the video was none other than their old friend, Atticus.Catherine gave Branden a suspicious look. "You already knew it?"Branden raised his eyebrows lightly at Catherine, and a hint of amusement showed in
Late at night, the lights of the ward were turned off, leaving everything dim and the pathways barely visible.An agile figure stealthily emerged within the ward and crept toward the bed. Before the intruder extended a hand, the person on the bed acted swiftly. The intruder was subdued completely with a gust of wind and a swift maneuver.As the intruder attempted to resist, Catherine acted decisively and swiftly incapacitated the intruder's hand with a forceful strike. The intruder was in so much pain that he grimaced and pleaded loudly, "Catherine, I swear I won't do it again!"With a firm grip, Catherine hoisted the intruder up and forcefully pushed him aside. The collision with the ceiling light switch instantly flooded the room with brightness from the previously dim space.The intruder sat on the floor and clutched his sore arm. He stared intently at Catherine. "Catherine, aren't you sick? With your current condition, even a special forces soldier won't stand a chance against
