Chapter 620 No Weaknesses
Edson looked proudly at the scene. Even though danger might be looming ahead, he had no regrets.
Witnessing Branden’s anger was not something an ordinary person could achieve. He provocativelylooked straight at Branden. He was fully aware of what a man could not tolerate and was challengingBranden’s limits.
The situation reached a stalemate, and a fight was about to erupt.
Suddenly, Catherine, who had been silent on the side, picked up a crab, snapped off a leg, andcasually brought it to her mouth.
Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Edson was taken aback, exclaiming, ” Cassie…”
Catherine disdainfully glanced at him and retorted, her tone cold and sharp, ” Stay out of my business ifyou don’t understand me. Shut up and mind your meal.”
She casually placed a crab on Branden’s plate in front of him. “Crack open it for me.”
Branden said nothing, gladly taking the crab and expertly extracting the meat. Edson, puzzled andangered, questioned Branden. “She’s allergic, and you’re cracking open it for her?”
Without Catherine explaining, Branden raised his eyes and stared at Edson coldly. “You think what youknow would be true?”
Who was Catherine? She had undergone countless hours of training. Branden used to train with her onthe same island. Even though many things were unknown to others, Branden knew them very well.
People like them couldn’t afford to have vulnerabilities. If the enemy knew, it would be the mostdangerous thing.
He was in the same category as Catherine. If he had such a weakness, he would either guard thesecret tightly or eliminate the weakness entirely. He was sure Catherine felt the same way. If anyoneknew about this weakness, Catherine would make that person disappear for good.
Branden’s hands moved swiftly, and the sharp knife expertly navigated the crab.
Soon, the crab meat was perfectly separated. He placed the dish full of crab meat in front of Catherine,drizzling it with the restaurant’s special sauce.
The aroma of crab wafted, and Catherine scooped a spoonful into her mouth. “Not bad!” She gave acasual comment.
Branden’s lips curled up slightly when he saw her enjoyment, his eyes revealing affection. “Have moreif you like it.”
Edson, observing Catherine’s actions, realized Branden wasn’t lying.
Their deliberate display of affection further fueled his anger. He squinted his eyes, unable to concealhis frustration, and glowered at Catherine. “You lied to me?”
Catherine coldly chuckled, lifting her gaze to Edson with a scornful look. ” You just don’t understandme.”
The simple sentence was like a massive slap in Edson’s face. Catherine was right; it wasn’t herproblem, but Edson simply didn’t understand her.
Once, she did have a slight allergy to crabs. Eating crab roe would make her itch all over, extremelyuncomfortable. But when she discovered this weakness, she locked herself in her room and crazily
consumed crab roe.
A person like her couldn’t afford to have weaknesses. After enduring for three days and nights, sheforcibly got through it. With Thomas’s treatment, as long as she didn’t eat large amounts of crab roe,her body wouldn’t react.
Edson didn’t understand her, but Branden did. She absolutely couldn’t allow others to know herweakness. If Edson knew, then that weakness would cease to exist.
Observing the dumbfounded and unpleasant Edson, Branden chuckled lightly. “Mr. Edson, the crabtastes good today. Would you like some more?
“Hmph!” Edson threw down the napkin and angrily left. If he stayed any longer, he would only becomea laughingstock.
As Edson left, Branden glanced at Paxton.
Paxton had long been holding back his anger. “How dare this red-haired guy challenge Mr. Duncan?Does he think the Duncans are that easy to bully?” he thought. He nodded silently and followed suit.
Catherine saw this scene but remained silent. Edson had nothing to do with her. He overestimatedhimself and sought his own demise. Catherine couldn’t be bothered with him.
Edson, fuming, left the restaurant and headed to the VIP parking lot on the basement second floor. Hisdeparture today was unexpected, a last-minute invitation from Branden. So, he only brought one driverwith him.
The driver was waiting for him in the underground parking lot. Edson furiously descended and wasready to let off some steam.
His exclusive car was parked at the elevator entrance, and Edson saw it as soon as he camedownstairs.
But to his surprise, the driver didn’t immediately notice him and didn’t get up to open the car door forhim.
Anyone who could be his driver was exclusively trained and could not possibly make such a mistake.Edson paused, looking toward the driver’s seat. The driver was still there, seemingly asleep.
For others, this might seem inconsequential, but not for Edson. He immediately sensed something waswrong and prepared to go back upstairs.
But just as he turned around, everything went black in front of him. He was agile enough to try anddodge to the right, but the other party had seen what he was trying to do and moved a little faster thanhe did.
Edson’s head remained covered, and he was unable to discern anything. Then, a rain of fistsdescended, brutally pummeling him.
At first, Edson endured in silence and fought back. But those people were like crazy. Seeing that hedidn’t say anything, they hit him even more fiercely.
As the beating intensified, Edson finally couldn’t hold on and shouted for help.novelbin
Unfortunately, this was a top-notch VIP parking lot, usually deserted. Now, there was no one to hearEdson’s cries.
No matter how desperate Edson’s pleas were, no one came to his rescue. In the end, Edson wasbeaten to the ground, completely unconscious, and only then did the attackers stop.
Once Edson collapsed, Paxton, the one leading the assault, slowly walked out. He raised his foot andkicked Edson a couple of times.
Then, he instructed his subordinates, Strip him naked and tie him up. Then take him to Whispering JoyStreet.”
“Okay!” The subordinates did not dare to hesitate and immediately followed orders.
Whispering Joy Street was a place hidden in the depths of Loxton, a red- light district for those withoutmeans.
The women there were far from glamorous, and anyone with some capital wouldn’t come here. SinceEdson was such a libertine, then this was a good place for him.
Watching Edson being dragged away, Paxton took the cigarette from between his lips and ruthlesslyextinguished it in the nearby ashtray.
He said inwardly, “Don’t blame us for being too ruthless if you’ve got the nerve to disrespect Mr.Duncan.”
