Chapter 371 Catherine Also Needed Money
Opening the contract handed over by Withal, Catherine scanned the contents on it and put it down. Seeing that her expression remained the same, Withal was somewhat unable to figure out Catherine’s thoughts.
In the base, there were various legends about Catherine.
It was rumored that not only was she a genius in the field of science and technology, but she was also good at fighting, and on the list of the top ten killers in the world, she had always ranked in the top three.
It was also rumored that she had a cold personality, committed innumerable murders, was ruthless and cold- blooded, and no one dared to offend her.
But these were all rumors. Only a very few of the original members of the base had seen her, and the rest of the members could only contact her through absolutely secret single-line contacts. In order to find her, they had to find Ronin first.
Withal waited for a few more minutes, but Catherine still didn’t speak. Unable to sit still, he took the initiative to inquire, “Catherine, is there anything wrong with this contract?”
“No, it’s good!” Her goal from the beginning was to get the mine, and the rest didn’t matter. Withal had already accomplished his mission.
Catherine answered faintly, so Withal’s heart was still in a state of turmoil. He hesitated for a while before reporting what he had done in the past few days.
“Catherine, we not only blocked the Winfred Group’s project these days, we also shorted the Winfreds’ stock to make a profit. In three days, we have nearly 400 million dollars in revenue!”
At the mention of money, Catherine’s eyes lit up. She glanced at Withal in satisfaction. ” Great. It just so happens that I’m short of money lately!”
Catherine then sent Withal a bank account number. “Transfer the money to this account!”
Short of money?
Catherine from Hacker Alliance was actually short of money? Withal couldn’t believe it. Although this might sound unbelievable, it was true that Catherine was short of money. A large portion of her money went to the Arbotte Laboratory.
Any random project in their laboratory required several years of experimental time and several tens of billions of dollars in funding. Even if Catherine could make more money, she couldn’t afford so much money!
Originally, selling the products that their laboratory made could bring a huge profit to the laboratory, but Catherine sold the recent products to Zerwick at a 50% discount.
Although the other members were fine with it, it led to a shortage of funds for the laboratory. For this, Catherine could only choose to use her own money to pay for it.
It was a big sum of money, and even the richest person would be poor after paying for it! Could Catherine not be poor after that?
Seeing Catherine asking for money, Withal didn’t ask much and transferred the money directly without keeping a single penny for himself.
“Catherine, the money is transferred. Please check it!”
After he finished saying that, it so happened that the food was served to the table, and he hurriedly asked Catherine to eat.
“Catherine, this restaurant may be a bit out of the way, but it’s an old brand restaurant in Oceanvile, and their food is very authentic Oceanvile food. Try them!”
In order to find a good restaurant, Withal searched through food posts for a whole hour before selecting it. It could be said that he was very attentive to the matter of meeting Catherine.
Catherine glanced at the dishes on the table and thought they looked quite delicious. She then took off her peaked cap and tossed it aside.
Withal originally did not pay any attention to it. Unintentionally, he raised his eyes and saw Catherine’s face. He was so shocked that he bit his tongue directly.
He really didn’t expect that Catherine was not only young and had a good figure but also had a good-looking appearance. He thought it would be no problem for Catherine to enter the showbiz and become a famous actress!
Seeing Withal didn’t move, Catherine shook her head helplessly. “Are you absent-minded again? Hurry up and eat. There are things waiting for you to do!”
Upon hearing this, Withal obediently started to eat as if he couldn’t wait to take the coming task. If those familiar with Withal knew that the intimidating head of Withalist still had such an obedient side, they would probably be shocked to death.
During the meal, Withal thought of one thing and hurriedly reported to Catherine, “Catherine, idiot Xavier brought Tyler back. I received news that he scheduled surgery for Tyler today. That’s pretty ruthless. He’s really ruthless to do that!
“Catherine, should we intervene?”
Withal had heard Ronin say earlier that Erick was saved by Catherine. He wondered if Catherine wanted to save him again now.
If they needed to save Erick again, it would be just a small matter of arranging for someone to make a move.
Xavier was no match for them even when he was healthy, let alone he was dying now. Catherine was not surprised at all. She only gave a shallow sneer when she heard the news. What couldn’t humans do to survive?
She refused Withal’s proposal directly. “No need!”
She had given Erick the chance to make his own choice. Since Erick had chosen a path he wanted to take, no matter what the future held, he would have to pay the price for his choice. It had nothing to do with others.
“Have you heard any news about Red Star lately?” Catherine inquired suddenly.
Withal shook his head. In the past two years, they had been paying attention to a mysterious organization called ” Red Star”, investigating its movements, but there had been no news.
There were very few organizations in this world that even the Hacker Alliance could not find.
Red Star was one of them. It was a very powerful organization, and it not only sold weapons, manufacturing a variety of top chips, but it also participated in various high-end medical experiments. It could be said that there were no fields that Red Star was not involved in.
However, for such a huge organization, the world knew less about it than the Hacker Alliance, and this organization was even more mysterious than the Hacker Alliance.
Speaking of Red Star, Withal was furious. He said viciously to Catherine. ”
Catherine, don’t worry, I will do my best to investigate Red Star. Once I find out the chief of their organization, I will capture him and chop him up to relieve your anger!”
The reason why Withal said such words was because three years ago, the chief of the Red Star organization had once set Catherine up. They tried to set up a big trap to trick Catherine.
Withal was not sure what exactly happened. He only knew that Catherine lay in the highest level hospital bed at the base for three months after returning that time.
He, Ronin, and several other leaders swore together that they must find the chief of the Red Star organization and chop him up to relieve Catherine’s anger. Catherine wrote an address on paper and threw it to Withal.
“There was someone selling my information in the black market and there were once members of the Red Star here. Go check it out!”
Sean from the black market had some connection with Catherine, which Withal knew well, so he believed that the information must be true.
“Okay, Catherine. I’ll definitely check it out!” Withal glanced at the address and destroyed the paper on the spot after he remembered it in his heart. The address was in Oceanvile, which was one of the reasons Catherine had come to Oceanvile.
However, she still had to take care of the laboratory these days, so she didn’t have time to investigate for the time being. It just so happened that Withal was there, and she wanted to ask Withal to investigate before she made her move.
Almost finished eating, Catherine’s cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at her cell phone and found that it was a message from Branden.
[Are things done? Do you need me to pick you up?]
