Chapter 481 Questioning Catherine
In Ravenloth Palace, Branden held Catherine’s hand as their group of four appeared at the entrance of Ravenloth Palace.
All four had been disguised, and their original appearance was difficult to distinguish.
Ravenloth was worthy of being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and its palace was not only exquisitely constructed but also permeated with a rich atmosphere.
The guards of the palace were very strict. The four of them met the palace attendant who came to receive them at the entrance of the palace.
Withal handed the invitation letter from the palace to the palace attendant for inspection.
After reading the contents of the invitation, the palace attendant looked at them with an instantly different look in their eyes. Even his attitude toward them became much more respectful.
The remuneration provided by the king of Ravenloth was exceptionally high, so there were many talented and extraordinary individuals coming to take on the mission.
The palace attendant could receive experts who came after taking the task every day, but the matter remained unresolved after so many experts came.
But the invitation letter Withal showed him was different. It was an invitation letter personally issued by the king. Catherine was the expert the king had been searching for months, so her treatment was naturally different.
“After you, please!”
The group of four people was brought to the hospitality hall of the palace. The one who received them there was the chief attendant, the superior of the palace attendant.
The chief attendant stood in front of them with a dignified face, wearing the traditional livery of Ravenloth. He looked to be in his early fifties. With a serious face, he scanned the four of them with sharp gazes.
Catherine’s group was a combination of three men and one woman. The chief attendant’s sharp eyes remained fixed on the man and the woman standing in front.
He realized that both of them had quite a powerful aura, and they had a noble aura emanating from all over them. At first glance, he knew that these two people were not ordinary people.
Surprisingly, he could not tell who was the real expert among these two people for a moment.
This was quite a rare thing!
After a few seconds of contemplation, the chief attendant took the initiative to ask, “May I ask which one of you is Dr. Sugar, the biology expert?”
It was rumored that this biology expert was highly mysterious, and no one knew her background and identity information. No one even discovered what school she graduated from.
It was only known that every time she made a move, it was a major event that stirred the world, and in the end, this mysterious expert would leave nothing behind. All the documents she signed only left a code name, Sugar!
So, the outside world honored her as Dr. Sugar.”
Ravenloth Palace had tried to contact this expert from the very first moment of the incident. However, Dr. Sugar’s whereabouts were too secretive and hard to find.
After searching the world for several months and finding nothing, Ravenloth Palace contacted the Hacker Alliance, a powerful organization. It was said that Dr. Sugar had worked with them before.
After a lot of trouble, Ravenloth Palace contacted Dr. Sugar. To ask her to help, Ravenloth Palace had to pay a lot. They even promised to offer a gold mine’s mining rights.
They were afraid that they would be rejected by this top-notch bigwig outright if they provided a low compensation.
Catherine looked up at the chief attendant. Her clear eyes coldly swept over the face of the chief attendant. The chief attendant understood immediately and nodded politely at Catherine.
“Dr. Sugar, it’s been a long journey. Thank you for coming!”
After saying that, he dropped his gaze on the man at the side.
This man’s aura was just too special. It was intense and contained incomparable nobility. This aura made the man look even more noble than quite a few outstanding royals in Ravenloth Palace, and this kind of aura was extremely rare.
Without knowing the man’s background and identity, the chief attendant asked the man in a very polite manner, “May I know who you are?”
Because the chief attendant asked Branden, Withal was in no position to answer. He could only wait silently for Catherine’s command. But before Catherine said anything, Branden made his own explanation.
He said, “I’m her assistant!”
The chief attendant’s eyes twinkled momentarily, and he did not say much after a light laugh.
“The king is already waiting in the main hall. Please come with me!”
It was not an easy thing to enter the main hall of the palace. Every time they passed through a gate, there were heavily guarded soldiers inspecting them.
Although Catherine and the others were impatient, they were used to it. The palaces were just like that. The procedures to enter a place were complicated and troublesome!
If it weren’t for the high price they offered, Catherine would not even look at them. Arriving at the main hall, the group was arranged by the chief attendant outside the door.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go report to the king!”
Catherine nodded slightly with a very indifferent attitude.
Once the chief attendant left, Withal could not help but spit out in a low voice, “Catherine, the orders of palaces are troublesome. There are too many procedures. We’d better not accept such orders in the future!”
Catherine turned her head and gave him a cold look.
“Who was that greedy person?”
The low pressure lingering around Catherine’s surroundings intimidated Withal completely. He turned pale with fear and apologized cautiously.
“Catherine, I was wrong!”
This could not be blamed on him, and it was the old scheming people at the base who should be blamed. They actually made him, the head of Withalist Clan, in charge of receiving customers and taking on orders now.
If it weren’t for the fact that Catherine was the one to do the orders, he would have quit long ago. To have more contact with Catherine, he would just endure it!
The chief attendant left quickly and came back quickly. It did not take long for him to come back and ask Catherine and the others to go in.
When they entered the hall, they realized that there were some strangely dressed people within the main hall besides the king.
Noticing Catherine’s frown, Withal explained hurriedly in a whispered ventriloquist voice.
“Catherine, in order to cure the palace’s bizarre condition, the king of Ravenloth has issued a mission around the world. These people all came upon hearing the news!”
It was the norm for people to be driven by profit.
The chief attendant introduced Catherine and the others to the king on the main seat above.
“King, this is Dr. Sugar!”
At these words, the hall was quiet for a few seconds.
Everyone focused their eyes on Catherine.
Dr. Sugar was well-known worldwide, and many people had heard of her name. They were all surprised that Ravenloth could be able to have this big shot there.
Some people worshipped Dr. Sugar, and naturally, there were also people who questioned her. After all, there were many scammers these days, so one had to be cautious.
No one expected that the famous Dr. Sugar was actually a little girl with a delicate figure. Although Catherine was wearing a mask and the crowd could not see her appearance, they could still tell she was very young!
Not only was she young, but the three men standing beside her also looked particularly young.
Could these people really be able to solve the matter?
Doubts arose in the hearts of the crowd!
The king’s eyes fell on Catherine. The king was getting old and already looked a little out of his depth.
If it were not for the fact that this incident affected the entire palace members, the old king would not have personally intervened.
“Dr. Sugar, you have a long day. Thank you for your coming!”
Catherine stood there with an expressionless look. She was fearless as the crowd looked at her up and down.
The chief attendant approached Catherine slowly and asked, “Dr. Sugar, may I ask when you can start checking? If you need to use any equipment or instruments, just tell us. We will definitely try our best to prepare for you!”
At these words, the crowd became interested and gazed eagerly at Catherine.
Everyone wanted to see what superior abilities Dr. Sugar had!
