Chapter 429 Not an Ordinary Person

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.”

Paxton understood what Branden wanted. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Branden.

“Sir, that potion hasn’t passed the clinical trials. We don’t know what it could do to human bodies. You can’t use it.”

Branden eyed him and said decisively, ” This is an order.”

Paxton stood upright and saluted Branden.

“Yes, sir!”

The three Duncans were mind wandering on the training ground. Especially Carlo. His heart seemed to drift away. When the instructor did not notice, he whispered to his brothers beside him.

“Branden would not be in danger, would he? I heard Paxton’s voice from Catherine’s headset, and he seemed pretty anxious.”

Not only Carlo but Cory and Francis were worried.

They were Shadow Guards of the Duncans. Their primary mission was to protect Branden and do anything as Branden instructed.

If anything happened to Branden while they were around, how could they stay and work for the Duncans in the future?

Laden with anxiety, the three looked ahead till Catherine showed up again. Since they knew Catherine was their instructor, they were more in awe of her. Just as Cory said, Catherine was the only female he admired except for his mother.

Carlo was thinking about asking Catherine how Branden was doing, but he quickly shut down the idea under Catherine’s glance.

Catherine glanced around harshly and said aloud grimly, “No matter what you’re thinking, stop thinking about it. Tense up and behave yourselves. Don’t think you are safe after half of you are eliminated this week.

“No one of you will pass the tests if you are not qualified enough.”

Her threatening got the trainees uptight again. They would not doubt whether Catherine meant it. Catherine always did as she promised. If they relaxed, Catherine would eliminate them all.

Carlo, Cory, and Francis knew Catherine was emphasizing discipline to them. She would kick them out of her camp when she had the chance without the slightest hesitation.

When all the trainees refocused, Catherine led them to the following training. They used to have forest operations, and now they were about to have deep-ocean training.

The rule had not changed. The winners took all. The ones who could complete the task could stay while those who could not would be out.

After assigning the task, Catherine went back to the car to rest.

She removed her disguise and looked at the time. Zerwick must be at night, so Catherine made a video call to Ronin. Ronin answered the call, and his young face occupied the entire screen. Ronin pouted and looked at Catherine in grievance.

“Catherine, you finally call me! You haven’t texted me after so many days. You’re so heartless.”

Catherine did not call him to hear his complaint. She waited for a few seconds for Ronin to end his gabbling before looking into Ronin’s eyes.

“I’ve something serious to talk to you.”

Ronin instantly put away his complaints. He stared at Catherine in high spirits.

“Catherine, tell me what I can do for you.”

“I don’t need you to do anything. I want to tell you that I know who the chief of Red Star is.”

Ronin was furious when it came to the chief of Red Star. He gritted his teeth as he said, “Catherine, who that jerk is? Tell me. I’ll take out 100 million dollars to issue a warrant to hunt him down no matter where he is. I’ll chop him and feed him to dogs.”

Ronin was in a hurry and rage.”

Catherine, who is he?”

He still felt sorry for Catherine every time he recalled how much she had suffered that month.
