Chapter 387 Extremely Insulting
Besides Paxton, Cory and Carlo had yet to witness the martial prowess of Catherine. It would be fine if they didn’t know Catherine’s identity. But now they knew she was the future mistress of the Duncans. Besides, she was a woman.
“As two men, how could we fight against her?” thought Carlo and Cory. They could only follow behind Paxton to scrape the barrel while planning on throwing Paxton under the bus for this.
To their surprise, Paxton, who charged forward first, got taken down by Catherine in just three moves. Paxton was shocked. Carlo and Cory were even more shocked.
Paxton was surprised to find himself so vulnerable in front of Catherine, while Carlo and Cory were completely stunned by Catherine’s violence. The kick from Catherine was so strong that it sent Paxton flying.
Catherine did not continue with the next round of attack. She lazily stood in place, raising her eyebrows and looking frivolously at Paxton.
“I am giving you all one more chance. If you don’t want to die, show me what you’re capable of!”
This statement might not cause much harm, but it was highly insulting. Having witnessed Catherine’s moves just now, the other two knew she was a master among masters and dared not to take her lightly.
However, Catherine’s words were truly insulting. The three of them looked at each other and decided to team up to fight. They grew up and trained together since childhood. Their tacit understanding was off the charts.
The combined strength of the three was definitely several times greater than each of them fighting alone.
Each of them was an expert rarely seen outside. Although they knew that Catherine had excellent fighting prowess, they were not worried.
The tension was high during the fight. Compared to the seriousness of the three, Catherine seemed nonchalant.
She didn’t even stand up properly. Her body twisted as if she had snuck out in the middle of the night and hadn’t gotten enough sleep. Only when the three rushed toward her did Catherine slowly react.
She suddenly opened her slightly narrowed eyes. There was an eerie coldness in her clear eyes. As Cory approached, the glint in those eyes was like two sharp swords flying out in an instant.
Catherine made a move!
A sudden, powerful punch struck Cory’s abdomen directly. Cory was training all year round. His abs were as hard as rocks. He knew Catherine was about to punch him in the stomach, but he didn’t immediately dodge it.
Because he believed in himself and Catherine was just a girl, even if she trained year-round, her speed, agility, and strength would never be too impressive.
The moment the fist attacked him, he realized he was wrong. The power in Catherine’s punch was astonishing. She delivered a direct blow to Cory’s stomach, causing him to take three steps back and cough heavily before regaining his balance.
After knocking down Cory, Catherine followed up with a sweeping left kick, aiming directly at Carlo’s temple. Due to the high speed, Carlo could not react in time and instinctively protected his abdomen with his arms.
Unexpectedly, Catherine moved at a breakneck pace. When she noticed Carlo blocking her attack, she immediately shifted her direction of attack and kicked toward Carlo’s rib cage instead.
Having no time to respond to the attack, Carlo was knocked to the ground. After ten minutes, the three top captains of the Duncans’ Shadow Guard all fell to the ground and couldn’t even muster the strength to get up.
Even though it hurt like hell, no one dared to utter a word. Considering the shameful situation they were in, they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves in it. Branden slowly descended from upstairs at that time, holding a small plate of pancakes.
He walked straight up to Catherine and didn’t even glance at the three lying on the ground. He picked up a piece of pancake with a fork and handed it over to Catherine.
“Try it. How does it taste?”
Catherine opened her mouth and took a big bite. The pancake that just came out of the oven was still a little hot, with a tempting aroma wafting. It was filled with cheese and meat in the middle layer and was topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
With one bite, the lips and teeth were left with fragrance. The crispness of the pastry was irresistible.
“Delicious!” Catherine gave her appraisal. Branden considerately stuffed the remaining half into her mouth. “Shall I bring it for you to eat in the yard?”
When he came in, he immediately noticed a small pavilion on the left side of the yard. There were quite a few utensils inside, indicating that Catherine often ate there.
Catherine couldn’t be bothered to walk upstairs, so Branden’s suggestion was the best decision for her.
She nodded with a satisfied expression. “Alright!”
Branden turned around to get breakfast upstairs. As he passed by the three, his gentle face suddenly darkened.
The change was so fast that it was like a blur to them. Upon seeing the expression on their boss’ face, the three immediately felt a sense of unease. They knew that they were in big trouble this time.
Branden spoke in a cold tone. “When the mission is completed, you’ll take turns training on Scorpion Island for three months!”
Upon hearing the punishment, the expressions of all three changed. Scorpion Island was the most terrifying existence.
They had all previously experienced the training on Scorpion Island, a place that could be aptly described as a purgatory.
There was an 80 percent chance of death during the three-month training session. If one were lucky, one would only be seriously injured. Only a miracle could ensure one’s safe survival.
However, their boss had already issued the order. No one dared to refuse. After all, they weren’t good enough. Three of them couldn’t even beat Catherine.
Of the three, Cory suffered the most severe injuries, all on his face. Thanks to Catherine, his once handsome face now looked like a pig’s.
Seriously, Paxton thought Catherine did it on purpose. After all, this young mistress of the Duncans was rather ruthless. Paxton knew it better than the other two.
Catherine was lounging in a rocking chair, enjoying the pancakes that Branden had made just for her, along with some freshly squeezed juice. She was feeling pretty content.
Exercising early in the morning was good for the body. She had a huge appetite now and could even eat a whole cow. Seeing how quickly she was eating, Branden took a pancake from his plate and handed it to Catherine.
“If you like it, I will make it for you again tomorrow!”
“Okay!” muttered Catherine with some pancake in her mouth. He had this pancake the other day. As coon as he took a bite he knew Catherine would love it.
He sought guidance from the master who made the pancake. Finally, he had the opportunity to make it for Catherine.
As expected, he had guessed correctly that Catherine did love it. The scent of food wafted through the air on one side, while on the other, the three not only got a beating but also felt weak and hungry.
The hurried pattering sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the fence. Shortly after, Randolph hurriedly ran in from outside, intending to report the situation to Catherine. He was instantly stunned after glancing around and finding that the courtyard was jammed with people.
“Ugh…” Randolph let out a startled hiccup.
Catherine took the initiative to speak.” Dr. Dunn, is there something you need?
Randolph had intended to tell Catherine that the two scoundrels surnamed Duncan had run away, but to his surprise, he found them all there when he arrived.
Moreover, there were two more men there. The most deplorable thing was that the seemingly handsome little rascal among them even held his teacher’s hand.
“How despicable!
“I cannot tolerate it any longer!” said Randolph inwardly.
