Chapter 396 1 Versus 4
When they were about to enter the turn, the speed was limited to 40 according to the traffic rules. The driver’s deceleration did not raise the suspect of the following cars. The speed was slow, so the vehicles behind did not dare get too close to them.
Catherine caught an opportunity when the car drove past the next turn and was about to leave the highway.
She opened the car door and leaped out.
The driver was astonished but did not dare hesitate and sped up. Only in that way could he not arouse the suspicions of the cars following behind and ensure Catherine’s safety.
Catherine made several rolls and got onto the green belt. The driving speed was not fast, and Catherine was agile, so she did not even have a scratch.
Catherine heard the engines off and knew that her enemies might have seen what she had done. She spotted a ditch not far away.
That place was dark and wet, and people barely went there.
After confirming where her destination was, Catherine set off for it. Several men following behind Catherine thought she had fled into any place she could find, so she chose somewhere that was more advantageous for them.
The men had been worried that it would be inconvenient for them to take down Catherine with many people around, but Catherine went to a place where nobody would see them. It was a perfect place for them to deal with her.
The four men looked at each other and decided to corner her. They split up to outflank the culvert. It was dark inside the culvert. After the four men slowly entered it, they could not find any trace of Catherine.
“Where is she?”
“No idea. She’s probably hiding somewhere. How about we turn on a flashlight? This place is not big. She can’t escape.”
They entered the culvert from both sides and were sure Catherine did not leave it. The four men turned on a flashlight. There was no one but the four in the small ditch.
“Damn it. How could she disappear just like that?”
Abrupt laughter rang above them before they could figure out what had happened.
“Huh…”
The four men looked up subconsciously and saw Catherine supporting herself on the ceiling. She dug her slender fingers inside the cracks between the slab stones and got herself above them with incredible arm strength.
The four men had no time to react when Catherine lowered herself with incredible speed. She swept her leg and kicked one of them away.
Only then did the other three men regain their senses and realize what a mighty person they were facing. They withdrew their slight attitude toward Catherine and decided to attack Catherine together.
Catherine gained her foothold and had her arms around her chest. She looked at the three men contemptuously.
She was not flustered when the three men besieged her. There was still the calmness and relaxation she always had on her appealing face. The distances between them were decreasing.
One man was so close to Catherine now. The danger set in. Catherine made the move suddenly and punched hard at the man’s belly from close quarters. The men screamed in pain and kept staggering back. He finally stood unsteadily on the spot.
But it only lasted three seconds before the man spat out a mouthful of blood, and the others heard a muffled sound. The man collapsed onto the ground and could no longer stand.
The other two men were stunned as they watched what had happened. It was not difficult for a great fighter to knock a person out with force from up to down.
But Catherine only had one punch at such a close distance, and the man spat out blood and fell to the ground.
They could not imagine how strong Catherine’s punch was. The two men could not believe their eyes. Their legs shook uncontrollably, and fear spread throughout their bodies.
Catherine in front of them was like a demon from hell. She was powerful, murderous, and horrific. The color ebbed slowly from the men’s faces until they were as white as a sheet.
However, Catherine was calm and relaxed and did not take them seriously. She moved toward the two men with an evil smile on her lips, terrifying.
The two men stepped back subconsciously. If they had a chance to regret it, they would never have taken the fatal mission they had thought was easy.
But there was no turning back. They had made their choice and had to bear the consequences. Catherine cast a cold glance at them. They dared to attack her, so they had to pay the price. She made her move so fast that the two men did not see it coming.
She grabbed one man’s arm and gave him a shoulder throw before he could register what was going on.
Catherine not only threw the man onto the ground hard but also dislocated one of the man’s arms. She laughed scornfully. Still holding the man’s arm, she whirled around and broke the man’s arm.
The man shrieked in pain, begging for forgiveness and help non-stop. They were in a remote place, and no one would come to save them.
Catherine scratched her ear somewhat irritably and kicked the man’s chest, who was already on the ground.
The man rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
Catherine clapped her hands and muttered in disgust, “Too much noise.”
The only one standing among the four men was stunned. When he noticed Catherine was looking in his direction, he turned around and wanted to flee.
But he wished!
How could he run away when Catherine had already targeted him? Catherine picked a fragment of a brick from the ground and accurately hurled it at the man’s back.
“Argh!”
The man let out a scream and fell to the ground. Catherine straightened her clothes and clapped her hands before she walked out of the ditch triumphantly.
When passing by the last man falling to the ground, Catherine stepped on his body on purpose. She wanted to be fair to all four men and not let the last one suffer any less on the ground.
Catherine walked out of the culvert. The sunshine was somewhat dazzling, and she frowned in displeasure.
If not for those bugs delaying her, she would have already been resting at home. She heard the roaring sound of the cars and then the screeching brakes. Catherine stopped her steps and looked around.
Branden opened the car door hastily and got out. When he stood on the ground and raised his head, he immediately caught sight of Catherine as if they had telepathy.
His brows loosened when he saw Catherine in front of him unharmed. Branden approached Catherine. He took her hands and checked her from head to toe before finally revealing a light smile.
“Did you get hurt?”
“How’s that possible?” Catherine’s answer was proud.
Branden reached to caress her cheek. ”
You got dirt on your face. I’m glad you are fine.”
Catherine had been in high spirits and unstoppable just now during the fight. Now that Branden had arrived, Catherine seemed to have become a mollusk and fell into Branden’s arms. ”
I’m tired and sleepy.”
Branden carried her up without hesitation and turned to walk toward the car.
“Come on. Let me take you home to rest.”
Catherine leaned on his chest, her eyes lazy as she stared at him and chatted, ” You said you were going back to the company.”
“I’m not going now,” Branden answered without even thinking. “I’ll stay with you.”
A smile was playing around the edges of Catherine’s lips. “Cook for me when I wake up. Will you?”
Branden answered patiently. His voice was tender and pleasant. “Sure. I’ll make food for you when you wake.”
Paxton accidentally overheard their conversation and shook his head silently. He now comprehended the power of beauty. Branden was as doting on Catherine as an ancient crazy king who would do anything for his queen.
