Chapter 446 Wait for Me
Catherine turned her head and looked at Paxton, her sharp gaze instantly tightening his heart, making even his
breath unstable.
“Miss Swann, why are you looking at me like that?” Paxton asked, his voice trembling. Catherine said coldly, her
face expressionless, “Since Branden forbids you from telling me, why do you bring me here?”
People like them had to constantly remember their identities and responsibilities. They could be devoid of emotions
and even cold-blooded, but they must always obey orders. Their only duty was to obey their superiors.
Paxton knew that he had violated his boss’s command, committing the most unforgivable and deadly mistake a
follower could make. He silently lowered his head, straightened his back, and faced Catherine.
“Miss Swann, after the training ends tomorrow, I will go to my boss and accept my punishment.”
The consequences of disobeying orders would be more painful than death. Having worked for Branden for so many
years, Paxton understood this better than anyone.
“Miss Swann, I can accept punishment. But please, consider my loyalty to my boss and find a solution!” Paxton
pleaded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatherine’s gaze fixed on him, making him feel as if he were naked, with nowhere to hide, no chance of escape.
After a long while, she glanced at him and turned away. Before taking her first step, she coldly uttered a sentence.
“The final test will be changed to jungle shooting!”
Paxton, who had already given up hope, was surprised by this unexpected turn of events. His eyes lit up instantly,
and he exclaimed, “Thank you, Miss Swann!”
On the training ground, all eight members of the training group were present. Catherine stood with her hands
behind her back, her posture appearing lazy. She would always do things in the most comfortable way.
Ironically, despite her relaxed and casual attitude, there was an aura of chilliness emanating from her that made
everyone hesitate to underestimate her.
Catherine circled around the eight individuals, and with each step she took. the atmosphere in the area seemed to
be more intimidating, making it increasingly difficult for everyone to breathe.
“Your training will come to an end at 12 o’clock noon tomorrow. Can you make it to the end?” Her voice was cold
and devoid of warmth, chilling to the bone. No one dared to answer. On the silent training ground, Catherine’s voice
sounded exceptionally loud and sharp.
“The training officially begins now. It’s jungle shooting. Within this jungle, there will be 80 trained soldiers, including
all the instructors from Scorpion Island. As long as you can survive their attacks without being eliminated, you will
pass.”
The eight men looked helpless. They had to face ten opponents, all of them elite instructors. It seemed like a setup
to annihilate them all.
Sensing their low morale, Catherine decided to inject them with a dose of encouragement.
“I won’t participate!”
Three simple words relieved the tension in their hearts.
Even Branden secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Catherine was formidable, and with his current injuries, he couldn’t
guarantee victory against her. What mattered most was that she was on the opposing side. He might choose to
surrender directly. It was better to let him end himself rather than attack Catherine.
Catherine casually fired a signal gun and lazily announced, “Training begins!”
As the gun went off, the trainees immediately picked up their backpacks and rushed towards the dense forest. Only
Branden slowly walked towards Catherine, gently taking her hand.
“See you on the training ground tomorrow!”
Catherine’s cold gaze slowly fell on Branden’s handsome face. His facial features were sculpted, evoking envy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn her calm eyes, there seemed to be no warmth, as usual. However, Branden still noticed the difference. When
Catherine looked at him, her eyes weren’t as cold as before.
This made Branden feel better. He seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. He looked at Catherine with joy. “Wait
for me to come back!”
After a moment’s pause, Catherine nodded.
Time was running out.
Branden held Catherine’s hand, gently rubbing it before turning and disappearing into the darkness of the forest.
Jon stood on the side, his body covered in goosebumps as he saw this. He suppressed the urge to feel disgusted
and looked at Paxton with disdain. “So, this is the reason why Branden has been avoiding women for so many
years?”
His tone carried both disdain and excitement, two contradictory emotions that were somehow reflected in one
person.
After Paxton heard what Jon said, his face turned dark with rage. “Shut up, you fool!” The way he looked at Jon was
filled with disgust.
Jon was scolded for no reason, and the fact that Paxton looked down on him made him extremely resentful.
“What? Do you wanna fight me?” Jon challenged.
“Forget it!” Paxton sneered coldly.” The jungle needs you, Instructor Jon!”
