Chapter 729 Neurotoxins
With their night vision goggles, the two men in black could see clearly in the pitch-black environment. Their boss had warnedthem that the woman not only had good combat skills but was also very clever, so they had to be extra cautious. Quietly, theypried open the door of the restroom. In the pitch- black interior, their target lay motionless next to the toilet.
One of the men gestured for his companion to drag Catherine, who had been rendered unconscious by drugs, out of therestroom. However, as his companion bent down to pull her up, he suddenly froze in place.
“Alpha, what's going on? Pull her up!” The man found it strange and called out several times, but his companion remainedunresponsive. In frustration, he reached out to pull his companion, trying to figure out if he had suddenly gone deaf or somethingunusual had occurred. To his surprise, when he gently pushed his companion, the latter suddenly collapsed.
The unexpected turn of events shocked the man. He didn’t have time to assess his companion’s condition and instinctivelylooked up to check on Catherine. In that instant, their eyes met. The chilling coldness in her icy gaze sent a shiver down hisspine. Before he could react, he felt a gust of wind, and in an instant, everything went black as he collapsed to the ground.
Watching the two men on the ground, Catherine slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. Her head was still spinning, and shedidn’t know what kind of drug they had used on her to produce such a strong effect. These two were not to be underestimated. Ifthey had attacked her simultaneously just now, given her current condition, she might not have been able to escape unscathed.That was why she had pretended to be unconscious, deliberately letting down their guard, and only then had she been able tosubdue them both.
When Ronin and the others arrived, Catherine was still standing there, leaning against the wall for support. Seeing this, Brandenrushed forward and embraced her. “How are you?” Catherine tried to speak but found her throat constricting, rendering herunable to produce any sound. Sensing her distress, Branden immediately scooped her up and carried her away from the scene.
Glaring at the two men on the ground, Ronin rushed forward to deliver a few kicks. “Damn bastards! How dare you ambushCatherine? I’m gonna skin you alive!”
Withal quickly intervened to stop Ronin from causing further harm. Ronin struggled furiously, almost coming to blows with Withal.“Withal, why are you stopping me? These bastards dared to attack Catherine. | gotta kill them!”
Withal held Ronin back. “I know you’re angry. You can do whatever you want to them, but we need to keep them alive,understand? This situation is not that simple; we must find the mastermind behind this!”
Withal could tell that these two men were skilled in combat. However, no matter how strong they were, they were no match forCatherine. They couldn’t hurt Catherine; there had to be a reason for the unusual situation, and there must be something fishygoing on.
Withal’s words gradually restored Ronin’s lost composure.“Zobber, you stay here with Ronin and take them away. Connie and | will go to the hospital!” Withal instructed.
Zobber nodded; she was also worried about Catherine's condition, but she understood that the most important thing at themoment was to find the mastermind. “Ronin, let’s go!” she said.
Zobber and Ronin were about to leave with the two men in black when they were intercepted by a group of people led byFrancis.
“What do you want?” Ronin looked disdainfully at Francis. He was in an extremely bad mood right now, and if these peoplewanted to cause trouble, he would make them regret it. After all, Catherine was the most important one to him.
Ronin’s attitude was not friendly, and Francis didn’t back down either. It seemed like a confrontation was about to happen, butfortunately, Paxton arrived just in time.
Paxton stood between the two men, patting Francis’s shoulder. After Francis took a step back, Paxton slowly said to Ronin,“Calm down. Boss has ordered us to take care of these two guys. Trust me. | will give you a satisfactory answer later! Maybeyour friends at the hospital need your help. You two are among Miss Swann’s most trusted people. You can help them!”
Although Zobber was also on the verge of throwing a fit, she understood that Paxton was right. They were angry, and Brandenwas even angrier. They wanted to find the mastermind, and Branden would also take action to catch them.
The Hacker Alliance’s influence in Alton was not suitable for exposure at the moment. Zobber murmured a few words to Ronin.
Ronin, feeling somewhat resentful, threw the men to the ground and provocatively looked at Paxton. “You'd better do your best,or don’t blame me for looking down on you.”
“Don’t worry!” Paxton assured with a serious expression on his face, and Ronin reluctantly left with Zobber.
As soon as they left, Paxton handed the men over to Francis. The situation at the hospital was still unclear; he had to go andhelp Branden.
Catherine was very important to Branden. Right now, all Paxton could do was pray that nothing would happen to her, or else theworld would be in chaos...
The hospital was suddenly flooded with a group of important figures, which frightened the director into personally leading themedical team to provide support.
“Mr. Duncan, why have you come in person?” The director nodded and smiled obsequiously, but Branden didn’t even spare hima glance.
Paxton stepped forward and kept the director a few steps away. “It’s Mr. Duncan's fiancée who's injured. We hope you willcooperate with us.”
“No problem, we will do everything we can to save her. Please rest assured,” the director assured.
Then, the door of the treatment room was pushed open. Leading the way was Connie, dressed in a white coat, and behind herwere the experts from various departments of the hospital.
Branden furrowed his brow and took a step forward, his sharp eyes locked onto Connie. The terrifying gaze sent shivers downher spine. “Catherine’s fiancé is a tough man,” she thought.novelbin
