Chapter 390 Dire Consequences
Catherine left the research base with Branden on the second day. Paxton accompanied them while theother two stayed behind temporarily to complete their tasks.
After arriving at the airport with Branden, Catherine was about to board the plane when she suddenlyheard her phone ringing from her pocket. At the same time, Paxton also received a phone call.
As Catherine was about to put down the phone and speak to Branden, he directly took her hand andled her in the direction of the exit of the airport.novelbin
“I’ll accompany you back to the base!”
It turned out that he had also received the news, which was expected since Carlo and Cory were still atthe research base. The news of Randolph’s disappearance should reach their ears soon.
Branden was the first to know this piece of news. They quickly returned to the base. As soon as theyentered, they saw Carlo and Cory questioning the research staff inside the base about the situation.
Sensing the arrival of Branden and the others, Carlo and Cory immediately approached them. Theyglanced casually in Catherine’s direction.
Catherine understood what they meant and asked indifferently, “Do you need me to stay away?”
“No need!” Branden suddenly said and warned Carlo and Cory with his eyes. Startled, the two didn’thesitate and quickly reported the situation.
“Sir, after you and Miss Swann left this morning, we also planned to leave. But when we reached thebase, we noticed several unfamiliar vehicles in the vicinity. Cory was worried that something was
wrong, so we returned to the base to investigate. As a result, the research staff here told us that Dr.Dunn didn’t appear in the experimental fields this morning. Currently, there’s no trace of Dr. Dunn!”
Paxton proposed a possibility. “Could it be that Dr. Dunn is still in the research base? After all, the baseis so big. He might be hiding somewhere in one of the fields doing research!”
They often encountered this situation, where some scientific researchers would immerse themselves intheir work, neglecting sleep and food.
However, Catherine quickly denied this speculation.
“It’s impossible. Dr. Dunn must be in trouble!”
Hearing Catherine’s firm tone, everyone’s gaze fell on her.
Catherine explained, “The seeds in Field NO.1 on the west side have ripened in the past few days. Dr.Dunn’s year-long research results will come out in these few days, and he would never leave this fieldat such a critical moment.”
Randolph would rather sleep in the fields 24 hours a day, fearing that something might happen to hisexperimental results. How could he disappear at such a crucial moment?
There was only one possibility, which was that he was forcefully taken away.
A few minutes later, Cory returned with an extremely grim expression. He faced everyone and said,“The surveillance of the main passages in the base has been completely disabled. The other party isskilled.”
Cory and Carlo both lowered their heads silently, waiting to be reprimanded. They had made a mistakein their initial assumption. They had thought that the other party was targeting Dr. Seven and would do
whatever it took to find his whereabouts. So they had joined in the search for Dr. Seven, hoping to findhim first and ensure his safety.
But the other party had unexpectedly focused their attention on Randolph, seizing the opportunity whenthey left to abduct him. Randolph was the only person who knew Dr. Seven’s whereabouts, socapturing him meant having the most direct clue to Dr. Seven. The other party seemed to have a betterunderstanding of the situation on the base than they had imagined.
This was not only a major blow to the base but also a great humiliation. Those who only knew how tomake mistakes without offering solutions had no place in the Duncans. After admitting their mistake,Cory and Carlo immediately proposed a solution.
“Sir, please give us two days.”
Branden snorted coldly and waved his hand.
Cory knew that this meant their request had been accepted. He quickly turned around, pulling Carlo tostand up. They had to act quickly. If they didn’t complete the mission properly this time, they might bekicked out of the Duncans.
While the Duncans were taking action, Catherine showed no intention of stopping. She would solve thisproblem in her own way.
Initially, she had no intention of making enemies with the other party, but now that they had provokedher, it would make her look like an easy target if she didn’t take action. Anyone who dared to harm herwould face dire consequences.
Catherine took out her phone, walked to the side, and made a call. Paxton stood beside Branden andwatched Catherine walk away. He whispered to Branden, “Sir, I noticed that Miss Swann doesn’t lookpleased. What do you think?”
Her expression was more than just displeased; it was downright ominous. At the moment, she waseven more terrifying than when Branden got angry. Paxton even felt a sense of suffocation.
Branden silently watched Catherine’s retreating figure as she made a phone call, his deep eyesgradually darkening.
He would teach them a lesson if someone wanted to cause trouble.
“Send out the list of agents from Asmein involved in international activities!”
Paxton was stunned upon hearing Branden’s command. The Duncans had an entire intelligencenetwork, which was well-known internationally. Therefore, they possessed a lot of classifiedinformation, which not only served as their greatest bargaining chip but also a weapon to controlothers.
Now, Branden had ordered the release of the list of Asmein agents, intending to deal a fatal blow toAsmein.
Paxton now understood the meaning of the phrase “a wrathful man for the sake of a woman.” It wasindeed ruthless.
In a corner, after the call was connected, Catherine immediately identified herself.
“Withal, it’s me!”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Withal instinctively straightened his posture. ” Yes, Catherine. Pleasegive your orders!
Since Catherine suddenly called him, it must be something important. Withal immediately stopped whathe was doing and waited for Catherine’s instructions.
After sending some information to Withal’s phone, Catherine continued, Help me investigate thisperson and find him as quickly as possible. Ensure his safety. The other party might be an Asmein spyinfiltrating our base. Be cautious!”
Withal was currently in Oceanvile, where Randolph had disappeared. Catherine knew that contactingWithal was the quickest and most efficient way to find Randolph.
“Understood, Catherine. I’ll do my best!
Though Withal didn’t know why Catherine suddenly clashed with someone from Asmein, he knew thathe had to follow any task she had assigned.
Lastly, Catherine gave a shocking command that completely stunned Withal. “Mobilize all our forcesand spare no expense to ensure Randolph’s safety!”
Withal paused momentarily, realizing that Randolph was not just an ordinary scientist. This matter wasfar from simple.
“Don’t worry, Catherine. I guarantee you the completion of the mission!”
