Chapter 392 Joining Forces
The Withalist guys froze when they got the information and reported it to Withal first.
“Boss, could this be a trap? How come the Duncans are helping us find out the news?”
Withal glanced at his man and gave him a look as if saying, “You know nothing.”
Withal was quite aware of why the Duncans were helping them. The Duncans’ head, Branden, was now Catherine’s man. Now that Catherine was looking for someone, how could the Duncans not help?
Withal was glad to think about it. He did not expect Catherine to be so capable and hurriedly instructed his men to send the information they had found to the Duncans.
He told the Duncans to pay attention to the sea. It was very likely that the other party would flee by water. For a mere Randolph, the two top alliances were actually joining forces.
Other organizations that knew about this news silently prayed for Asmein’s agents. After all, only very few organizations could withstand Hacker Alliance joining forces with the Duncans.
Soon enough, precise news came in. Withal informed Catherine at the first opportunity.
“Catherine, there’s news. You really are a genius. They are at sea. These bastards disguised themselves as fishermen. Fortunately, the Duncans’ maritime channel is awesome, so we managed to target them quickly!”
“Catherine, don’t worry. I will bring the people back to you!” he added. Catherine expressionlessly listened to Withal’s report and said, “Send me the location!”
Withal froze for a second. “Catherine, are you going in person?”
Catherine didn’t say anything and hung up. She didn’t like to talk nonsense and was always decisive.
Hearing the beep as the call was ended, Withal got all excited. He wondered how long it had been since he’d seen Catherine take matters into her own hands.
Catherine hadn’t been seen since she had been set up and injured by the chief of Red Star a few years ago. Today, she actually made a personal appearance for the sake of Randolph. This old man should be something.
And this group of idiots from Asmein. They dared to offend Catherine. It seemed like they were courting death. Withal was getting a little excited and couldn’t wait to see how Catherine would deal with them.
After receiving the location sent by Withal, Catherine changed her clothes and drove out of the base alone.
On the waters west of Oceanvile, the sea seemed calm, but no one could predict when the next storm would come.
After all, the weather at sea was highly variable and hard to predict. Carlo and Cory, with a group of elite forces, changed into diving suits and planned to sneak onto the fishing boat to bring Randolph out.
After rescuing Randolph, they would take down the men from Asmein.
“There’s Hacker Alliance around!”
Cory told Carlo the latest intelligence.
Carlo wasn’t surprised about that. After all, they shared information, and it wasn’t difficult for Hacker Alliance’s people to uncover such details.
“So be it. Anyway, as long as they don’t bother us, it doesn’t matter. Mr. Duncan told us to share the information with them, so perhaps Mr. Duncan has reached a cooperation with Hacker Alliance!
“Cory, I’m ready to go into the water. Remember to inform Mr. Duncan of my success!”
After saying that, Carlo leaped and jumped off the fishing boat. With a team of men on the other side of the sea, Withal observed every move on the waters not far away.
A subordinate was reporting to Withal the latest news they received. He said, ” Boss, the Duncans have made a move. Should we take action?”
Withal said calmly, “There is no rush.”
Suddenly, an update was reported.
“Boss, there’s a speedboat at 30 degrees north latitude heading toward the target at top speed!”
Withal quickly picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction. The white speedboat rushed forward, bringing up waves of water. Standing in the driver’s seat, the person drove the speedboat with the greatest of ease.
Looking at Catherine’s impressive posture, Withal couldn’t help but cheer inwardly. “Peerless Catherine, awesome!”
“Inform everyone to proceed at full speed and assist the speedboat at any cost!”
The Duncans’ men were the first to reach the target ship, but the ship was guarded by elites from the other side, and the Duncans’ men were instantly exposed.
Both sides engaged in direct combat. The men that Carlo brought with him were all elites, and it was hard to tell the winner between both sides. No one noticed that, at that point, a speedboat had suddenly approached.
Catherine arrived at the ship in the shortest possible time. As soon as she boarded, she saw the person fighting with Jon, and she instantly recognized that person as Carlo.
It had been far too long since she’d got into a fight, so Catherine didn’t strategize. She immediately rushed forward and grabbed Jon by the neck.
Carlo was interrupted from the fight by Catherine’s sudden movement. He originally wanted to strike, but after realizing that the person was Catherine, he instantly stopped his movement.
His goal had changed from finding the person to protecting Catherine. After all, she was the beloved of Branden, and if anything went wrong, Branden would surely kill him. However, Carlo soon realized that the mighty Catherine didn’t need his protection.
It was more like Catherine was protecting him now.
Catherine choked Jon’s neck, pressed him against the table, and said coldly, ” I’ll give you one chance. Tell me where Randolph is being held!”
Jon didn’t expect a pretty little girl to have such an overwhelming aura when she was ruthless.
Her eyes were even more intimidating than the murderous demons he had seen on the battlefield.
Although he was afraid of Catherine, the first element of being an agent was keeping secrets, so he naturally couldn’t give out the whereabouts of the hostage so easily.
Three seconds passed, but Jon still had no intention of answering.
Catherine threw her arm out to her side, and before Carlo could react, Catherine took the gun on his waist away.
Carlo froze for a moment. One had to know that he was the champion of physical training in the Shadow Guard of the Duncans. His gun was snatched away so easily in front of so many people. How embarrassing!
In the blink of an eye, Catherine had already fired the gun.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, she aimed directly for Jon’s arm. She looked at Jon with cold eyes, which were as terrifying as a demon that would devour people, contrasting sharply with her stunningly beautiful face.
“I don’t like bullshit, much less do I like people defying me. Tell me what I ask you, or you’ll suffer more.”
Jon gritted his teeth in agony, knowing that Catherine wasn’t joking with him. Someone who could shoot without blinking an eye must be heartless.
Catherine asked again, word by word,
Where is he?”
Jon bit his lower lip and refused to speak.
This time, Catherine had no mercy.
She fired four shots in a row, hitting each of Jon’s limbs. The people around were dumbfounded, and no one had ever seen such torture, let alone the one who did it was a stunningly beautiful young girl.
And this was not the end. After the shots were fired, Catherine picked up a dagger. She said, “If you still refuse to answer, I’ll cut a piece of flesh from each of your wounds and feed it to the fish.”
Catherine sneered, a grim smile laced with blood and terror.
“It’s fine if you don’t say anything. Anyway, the person I want is on this ship. I’ll get him as long as I return to dismantle the ship. It’s just a matter of time!”
She took the dagger and slowly approached Jon. The pain from the wounds was so intense that Jon’s veins were bulging. Only then did she continue to speak, teasing Jon.
“You should love sashimi! Would you like to try something new? How about something other than the fish kind?”
Jon, though a tough guy, was instantly scared out of his wits.
