Chapter 393 You’ll Have a Future
Silence fell over the scene. Jon was strong-willed and had endured the most painful torture during his training.
Although Catherine’s methods were horrific, those who were in the business never thought they’d come to a good end.
What they feared most was psychological warfare, not physical torture. Jon had to admit that Catherine was amazing, and she was absolutely right.
They had boarded the ship and gained an overwhelming advantage, so it was only a matter of time before they found the hostage.
Jon, on the other hand, was at Catherine’s mercy. Since the end had been settled, the sooner he confessed, the less pain he’d suffer.
In the end, Jon compromised. After getting the answer, Catherine put away her knife and shoved Jon toward Carlo. She then strode away, determined and cool.
Though always on the verge of death on the battlefield, Carlo’s henchmen felt a shiver when they saw this scene. Curiously, they asked, “Carlo, who is this amazing girl?”
She was fearless and stunningly beautiful!
Carlo pushed Jon, who was covered in blood, toward his subordinates and said viciously, “Keep an eye on the person and shut your mouth. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, or be careful that your tongue will be cut off.”
After saying that, he immediately chased after Catherine. He had to protect her well. Otherwise, in case she got hurt, Branden would skin him alive.
When Catherine arrived, people from the Duncans had already found Randolph first. Carlo had brought the best of the best this time. They were fast in their movements and capable.
However, a new trouble had come their way. Upon seeing Carlo’s appearance, the men immediately rushed up to him.
“Carlo, Dr. Dunn won’t come with us and is threatening us with death!”
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Every time a hostage was rescued, they cried and begged to get out of there.
But Dr. Dunn was strange. When they went in to rescue him, he refused to leave with them and called them liars, threatening them with death.
Carlo hurriedly looked toward Catherine.
Catherine stepped around him and headed toward the small cabin where Randolph was being held.
“Dr. Dunn, it’s me!”
Randolph, who was struggling violently, instantly settled down as he heard Catherine’s cold voice.
Catherine stepped forward to help him untie the ropes on his hands. He was obedient and allowed Catherine to do it.
Those men from the Duncans at the side all looked dumbfounded. They thought, “Who is this girl? Why is she so powerful?”
After the restraints were undone, Randolph excitedly took Catherine’s hands and said, “You can rest assured. I didn’t say anything. I know you will come for me. I didn’t give in to them!”
“I know!” Catherine responded and calmed him down. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the base. The seeds are almost ripe. You have to watch them!”
At the mention of seeds, the originally dispirited Randolph was instantly full of energy.
“Hurry up. Let’s go!”
Seeing Catherine take Randolph away, the Duncans’ men wanted to stop them, but they didn’t know how to do so, so they could only helplessly look at Carlo.
“Carlo, they’re gone. Aren’t we going to chase after them?”
“No need!” Carlo gave the order and then brought his men back to meet up with Cory. Catherine took Randolph alone and drove the speedboat to the shore. As soon as they landed on the shore, they saw an extremely conspicuous jeep.
Noticing the return of the two, a strong man jumped down from the jeep. Randolph subconsciously stood in front of Catherine. In any case, his teacher couldn’t be in trouble. Catherine gently patted his hand and said, “Dr. Dunn, he is on our side!”
Withal was amused by the old man. He looked like he had never even killed a chicken but was trying to protect Catherine.
Hearing that the person was Catherine’s man, Randolph looked Withal up and down, then nodded approvingly.
“Young man, you’re not bad. With Catherine, you’ll have a future!”
Hearing this, Withal burst out laughing, but what the old man said made sense.
“Dr. Dunn, you’re right!”
“Both of you, get in the car!” Catherine yelled, and the two climbed into the jeep. Withal was there specifically as a driver to take the duo back to the base.
As soon as they had gotten out of the car after arriving at the base, Randolph couldn’t wait to dash toward the field.
The seeds were his most precious thing, more than anything else.
Branden had been waiting at the gate, and he knew as soon as Catherine returned. Carrying a cup of water, he approached her and said, “Have some water first!”
After a long journey, Catherine was quite thirsty, and the cup of water came at just the right time.
Just after finishing the water, the man’s ice-cold voice was heard. “Why didn’t you tell me when you left?”
After Catherine received the news, she left in a hurry and forgot to explain to Branden.
Hearing the man’s question, Catherine decided to admit her mistake.
“I forgot in my haste. I’ll keep it in mind next time!”
The man’s tone was serious, but his eyes looked at Catherine with a rare doting favor.
“Okay. Never again.”
Not long after, Carlo and Cory arrived at the base as well. As soon as Catherine took Randolph away, Carlo informed Paxton.
Learning that it was Catherine, Paxton didn’t have a problem with it. After all, Catherine would be the future wife of their boss, so what could they say?
When Carlo returned with Cory, he called Randolph along. Everyone was now gathered in Catherine’s small courtyard. Cory always felt something was off when he saw Withal. Perhaps because of the same profession, he instantly sensed a distinctive aura about Withal.
He stopped Carlo as Carlo was about to ask Dr. Dunn about the situation.
The duo looked in Withal’s direction, and Withal sensed their gazes were on him, but he sat motionless.
There was nothing anyone could do to force him to leave without Catherine saying so. Paxton didn’t know what to say to Cory, who was always stubborn.
He hinted at Cory with his eyes to no avail. In the end, he could only whisper, “This is Miss Swann’s friend.”
Even Branden didn’t say anything, so why should the two brats care?
Hearing that, Cory finally reacted and agreed for Carlo to continue. Randolph got a little impatient and said, “What the hell do you guys have going on? Quickly, you guys, I must take care of my seeds!”
He was so preoccupied with his seeds that he didn’t care about anything else.
Carlo looked at Randolph with a bitter face. “Dr. Dunn, we are so familiar with each other. Can you please give us some information about Dr. Seven? We have only one purpose: to take revenge on him. Look at it. The Asmein people were able to infiltrate and capture you. If something happens to Dr. Seven, it would be considered a loss to you, don’t you think so?”
Randolph didn’t say anything but just secretly gave Catherine a quiet look.
Then he looked at Carlo with a serious look and asked, “Can you really protect Dr. Seven?”
Carlo replied, “I swear on my life!”
