Chapter 501 Even More Powerful!

After listening to Hayden’s words, Catherine remained calm.

“You’re wrong.” Her voice was calm, devoid of any warmth.

Hayden looked at Catherine with a puzzled expression. “Doctor, what do you mean?”

Catherine bluntly told him, “You’re thanking the wrong person.”

Hearing this, Hayden anxiously interrupted Catherine. “It’s impossible. I couldn’t have remembered

wrong. It was you who saved me back then!”

“It was indeed me, but I didn’t do it to save you.” Catherine’s face remained expressionless, her eyes

not even blinking. “The person who harmed you had a laugh that was too unpleasant.”

That person was a human trafficker in the black market. He enjoyed laughing while dealing with the

captive.

Catherine happened to pass by at that time and was extremely disgusted by the laughter. In order to

stop the person from laughing, she released all the kidnapped individuals. This was the only time she

intervened in the internal affairs of the black market. The black market had its own rules, and outsiders

were not allowed to interfere.

If it weren’t for Catherine’s good relationship with the Lamberts, it would have been much more difficult.

However, Catherine didn’t expect that her unintentional act would lead to such an outcome.

Hayden was stunned, gazing at Catherine with a dazed expression. He never expected that all these

years, it was his own delusion.

After a while, he snapped out of it. A relieved smile appeared on his face. In fact, there was nothing to

be sad about. From the beginning, it was just his wishful thinking, right?

Regardless of Catherine’s intentions, she saved him.

It was true in the past, and it remained true now.

“Doctor, I still have to thank you!”

Catherine already knew everything she wanted to know. As decent as the dungeon was, it was far

inferior to the outside world.

“Don’t forget to pay the reward!” Catherine said, standing up and leaving without even saying goodbye

to Hayden.

Hayden stared, mesmerized at Catherine’s departing figure. His only regret was that he had never

seen her true face.

He believed that the doctor must be as beautiful as an angel. Catherine walked out of the dungeon.

The crisis in the Ravenloth Palace had been resolved.

As for the fate of Queen Lina and Hayden, it had nothing to do with her. She didn’t care who would win

or lose. She just wanted to complete the tasks she was assigned and receive her rightful reward. She

didn’t care about anything else.

Inside the palace of Ravenloth.

The king personally summoned Branden, or rather, he should be said to be seeking an audience with

Branden.

The doctor’s assistant had a temper worse than anyone else, and it wasn’t easy to meet him. No one

else had this opportunity except for the doctor.

After the palace attendant pleaded several times, they finally managed to bring this big shot to the

palace.

Branden calmly sat in front of the king, elegantly sipping his coffee. The king had been waiting for half a

day. He finally couldn’t hold back any longer, taking the initiative to speak.

“Sir, I heard that you and the doctor are about to leave Ravenloth. Is that correct?”

Branden put down his cup of coffee, slowly raised his head, and his gaze fell calmly on the king.

“Of course. The mission is over.”

“If I plan to continue employing you and have you stay in Ravenloth, what conditions do you want? As

long as you are willing to stay and serve Ravenloth, you can ask for anything,” the king said, his gaze

fixed on Branden, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.

Branden didn’t show him any respect and gave a two-word response.

“Not interested!”

The surrounding servants were shocked to hear Branden publicly refuse the king, their jaws almost

dropping.

In Ravenloth, the king was supreme, and anyone who dared to treat the king like this would be

sentenced to death.

In their eyes, Branden was already a dead man. They believed that the king would punish Branden. But

just when they thought that, the most unexpected outcome came.

The king coldly watched Branden, his face darkening and his attitude becoming colder.

“What if I insist on you staying?”

Branden remained calm and composed, casually sweeping his gaze over the king. “You can give it a

try, Your Majesty.”

Compared to the previous sentence, this one was even more arrogant, and the people around were

already trembling in fear.

This time, they all believed that Branden was not only doomed, but would also be subjected to

Ravenloth’s harshest punishment.

Unfortunately, the king’s attitude once again shocked them. Not only did he not punish Branden, but he

even laughed out loud.

“Well, well, well. It seems like I have guessed it right. Why hadn’t you even given a heads-up before

you came to Ravenloth, Mr. Duncan? I should have welcomed such an esteemed guest!”

Branden wasn’t too surprised that the king had known his identity.

He had been in Ravenloth for some time now, and the king had just found out, which was already a

little late.

Branden responded calmly with a poker face, “There’s no need for you to welcome me personally, Your

Majesty. My identity here is merely as Dr. Sugar’s assistant. If Your Majesty has no other business, I

will take my leave.”

Branden’s attitude was clear enough. He came to Ravenloth solely as the doctor’s assistant, which had

nothing to do with the Duncans.

However, this didn’t mean that the king of Ravenloth could easily manipulate him. If Branden wanted to

leave, not only could the king not stop him, but he also had to respectfully see Branden out.

After Branden left, the king became furious.

Seeing the king’s bad mood, the chief attendant lowered his head and cautiously asked, “Your Majesty,

since you don’t want him to leave, why don’t I arrange for someone to bring him back? This is

Ravenloth. Why should we fear him?”

The king coldly glanced at the chief attendant, his icy gaze seemed to respond to the palace attendants

with ” You fool!”

Terrified, the palace attendant quickly knelt down and continuously apologized.

The king still had a dark expression as

if he could explode with rage at any moment.

“Do you know who that man is? Even if we detain him now, we will have to send him back later and

apologize. It’s not worth the trouble.”

The palace attendant didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. He believed that the king wouldn’t say

such things without reason.

If that was the case, there must be a reason behind it. That assistant was definitely not an ordinary

person.

“Your Majesty, what is the background of this assistant?”

The king gave him a hidden glance and coldly said, “Have you heard about the Duncans from Chritie?”

The palace attendant was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and looked at the king in fear.

“The Duncans?”

The king nodded, revealing Branden’s identity.

“He is the current head of the Duncans. It’s already strange enough for him to appear in Ravenloth, and

now that he’s with Dr. Sugar, I’m not sure what the relationship is between them.”

The palace attendant understood the king’s deep concern. The Duncans from Chritie were a very

powerful family, and if they were involved with the Hacker Alliance…

Once this piece of news was confirmed and spread to the world, it would undoubtedly cause a huge

uproar, and the dynamics of a lot of things would change drastically as a result.

The palace attendant finally understood why this “assistant” dared to openly disregard their king’s

power. Because he was even more powerful!
