Chapter 345 Attitude
The next day, Ronin brought Sean to Catherine. Catherine was leaning on the chair with her legs on the coffee table. She looked like a boss instead of a lady, casual and carefree.
Sean stood before Catherine. The handsome young man looked pale and looked haggard. He looked like a prince in distress.
His dark circles were noticeable for a fair-skinned man when he stayed late. He looked like a panda. Sean looked at Catherine, who seemed lazy and carefree. He felt his heart hammering. He was in trouble this time and had dug a grave for himself.
After hesitating momentarily, Sean still did not know how to tell Catherine about that. He had never been so embarrassed before.
After waiting for some time and getting no answer, Catherine lifted her head expressionlessly and looked at Sean. Only a glance from her, the rumored ruthless and heartless black market boss knelt before her.
He finally understood why those men in the base were so afraid of an underage girl. She was the boss, after all, and her gaze was enough to scare him. He had to face it no matter what. So, Sean decided to say it and get punished.
“Miss Catherine, please feel free to punish me. I have promised you I’ll get Erick back from you and will not return without him.”
Sean thought Catherine was mad, so he had even prepared himself to face the pain of his limbs breaking. Unexpectedly, Catherine’s voice came from not far away, and it sounded calm.
“Erick refused to leave with you?”
Sean was startled and asked, “How did you know?” It made him wonder if Catherine had any superpowers or mind -reading abilities.
He had taken his men from the black market to look for the Swanns’ secret bodyguards’ whereabouts and gotten Erick’s location. With that, he immediately headed to the location to get Erick out and wanted to teach Korbin a lesson.
He wanted Korbin to know he should not have kidnapped Erick in his place. After all, this place was Casier. It was the Swanns’ territory, and their secret bodyguards were challenging to deal with.
The men Sean brought were more or less injured, but they found the place where Erick was held captive. Just as they were about to take him away, Erick changed his mind.
That was frustrating!
In the end, his men were injured, and he did not manage to bring Erick back. It was inexplicable to face a little loss. Sean did not mind that.
What annoyed him most was he did not manage to bring Erick back because Erick refused to leave. No matter what, it would be humiliating if others knew this.
Sean felt embarrassed to face Catherine. If it were not because Ronin came looking for him, he had planned to hide from Catherine. Catherine was not surprised to know SEan failed to bring Erick back.
Erick seemed better than what she had seen before. Catherine scoffed and said to Sean, ” You don’t have to look for Erick anymore. Let’s take this as a tie.”
Erick was kept in the black market, and Sean was responsible. However, the problem was with Erick. So, she decided to forgive Sean. Sean did not understand what Catherine meant and asked, ” Catherine, are you not going to save Erick anymore?”
Catherine answered lazily, “Since he refused to leave, why should I save him?
Sean was in a puzzle and could not understand what Catherine meant. He wanted to ask further, but Catherine had closed her eyes. So, he did not dare to ask. All he could do was wink at Ronin, hoping he could explain.
Ronin did not care much about Erick. He was happy that Erick was gone. With that, one less person would be around Catherine.
“Catherine, what about the Winfreds? Hacker Alliance and the Winfreds’ business corporation isn’t over yet, and the Winfreds have not given us the developing rights.”
Catherine ordered with her eyes closed.
“Ask Withal to deal with it.”
The lazy tone, which seemed less intimidating, still ran chills down Sean and Ronin’s spine. Although the Hacker Alliance was a hacker organization, they had various job scopes.
They were involved in many fields. In simple, they could do anything as long as they got paid. There was nothing the Hacker Alliance could not do. Hacker Alliance was divided into the Grentelist, Withalist, Zobers, and Wantells, a total of four divisions.
So, everyone guessed the Hacker Alliance’s boss was from Zerwick. Otherwise, they would not divide the Alliance into such special four divisions.
The leader of the Withalist was called Withal. His job scope was to punish and warn those who betrayed the alliance. They were the police in the alliance.
As rumors said, Withal was an assassin on the top three of the world ranking list of assassins. Moreover, he had always been in the top three for seven years. The ranking of the ten assassins had changed throughout the years, yet the top three’s positions remained.
Catherine asked Ronin to get Withal, meaning the Winfreds were in great trouble. They should not have dug their own grave by provoking Catherine.
Feeling the slight buzz from her phone, Catherine, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened her eyes suddenly.
Her eyes were always cold, and looking into them was scary. Just glancing at it was enough to scare Sean. He wondered who had disturbed Catherine’s nap. Unexpectedly, Catherine did not fly into a rage. She stood up, took her bag, and walked out.
Ronin looked at Catherine’s reaction and quickly asked, “Catherine, where are you going?”
Catherine did not turn around and said, “Class!”
Sean almost fell off his chair when he heard that answer. He had heard of Catherine attending a high school for no reason.
It made him wonder if Catherine was serious. Sean tried to ask Ronin, “It’s just a school. Your boss is qualified even to be the headmaster. Why is she so hardworking, attending classes on time?”
Ronin glanced at Sean in disdain as he said, “Catherine said she has to be serious once she decides to do something. It’s the attitude that matters.”
Then, Ronin followed Catherine.
“Where are you going? Let’s have a cup of coffee together,” Sean shouted as he chased Ronin.
Ronin did the same as Catherine. ” Class!”
Sean froze. He did not expect Ronin was going to go to class with Catherine. It made him wonder if they were trying to recall their childhood.
As he knew, Catherine had graduated from university when she was seven, and Ronin graduated one year older than her.
It made him ponder if he should return to high school, too.
Maybe he should try out Catherine’s hobby.
