Chapter 428 Something Happened to Branden
Branden boarded the private plane and headed to Snake Island. Paxton sat with him on the plane and felt uneasy, so he handed the serum the lab newly developed to Branden.
“Sir, this is the serum. Inject it for your safety.”
Branden glanced at Paxton as a warning, and the latter put the serum away gingerly. Branden then pulled open the airplane door.
Without a moment of hesitation, Branden jumped off the plane. Paxton was dumbfounded. They did not arrive at their destination yet.
Why did Branden jump off suddenly?
The plan was to send Branden to Snake Island, and Branden finished the survival challenge there. But Branden chose to increase the difficulty by jumping to the nearby sea area and swimming to the shore.
The sea area around Snake Island was a famous dead zone. The complex geography caused the sea to swell roughly, and the most dangerous thing was the man-eater shark.
If starting from that sea area, Branden would probably be eaten by a shark before he got to the island. Paxton could not understand what Branden wanted. Whether to beg for Catherine’s forgiveness or simply torture himself.
Paxton could not stop Branden from swimming to Snake Island and stayed till the challenge was completed, but he needed to know Branden’s condition at all times.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverything was as usual on the training ground. There was nothing different after Branden joined them. After all, Catherine did not agree with Branden to join her camp officially.
It still depended on whether Branden could be back alive from Snake Island. Catherine started the other half of the training. The trainees were highly focused, and no one dared to do anything wrong.
They knew Catherine’s cruel methods and did not have the guts to risk it. As time passed, Catherine’s training methods became even more harsh.
Three people were eliminated in the afternoon only.
Yet, no one complained, not because they feared Catherine. They knew the training goal was to pick out the best elites from them. If one was not capable enough, they were expected to be out.
Most importantly, they had witnessed their improvement in just one week. That was what Catherine brought them. They were much more powerful now.
Catherine was arranging the following training for the trainees when she heard Jon’s voice from the wireless headset.
“Mr. Anon, could you come to the medical room right now?”
Catherine was confused. Why would Jon suddenly ask her to be in the medical room?
Catherine wanted to refuse, but Paxton’s nervous voice sounded in her ear. “Sir, this is Paxton. Something happened to Branden. Come here now, please.”
Catherine was hesitant for a second after the talk ended in the headset.
Then, she began to rush toward the medical room.
When she arrived, it was already a mess inside the room.
Seven or eight medical officers surrounded the bed and pressed Branden’s body, preparing to give him an injection. Paxton noticed Catherine and hurriedly approached her.
“Miss Swann, please, talk to Branden. He doesn’t listen to anyone else other than you.”
Catherine’s brows knitted tightly, and she asked, trying to suppress her rage, ” Tell me. What the hell happened?”
Paxton dared not hide anything from her and told her everything Branden experienced, from departing to staying on Snake Island.
“Miss Swann, there are many snake bites on Branden. After he fought hard to return, he refused to be cured immediately but said he had to report to you. Please, ask him to receive treatment.”
Before Catherine replied to Paxton, Branden, on the bed, caught a glimpse of her.
He exerted all his strength to push away the medical officers around him, struggled down the bed, and staggered to Catherine.
When he stood in front of Catherine, he made his body stiff and straight.
“Sir, I’ve finished the mission on surviving Snake Island.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBranden almost could not make it. He opened his eyes with difficulty, revealing how bloodshot they were. Catherine could see all kinds of injuries on his body.
The relatively small wounds almost stopped bleeding.
But the large ones still oozed out blood because he refused to cooperate. The medical room was filled with the heavy smell of blood and disgusted people.
Even so, Branden still tried hard to say, “Sir, would you please give me a chance?”
A chance?
What chance?
Did he mean a chance for him to join her camp or a chance to forgive him?
Only Branden knew which meaning it was. After learning the truth, Branden never asked Catherine for her forgiveness.
He only tortured himself, maltreating himself in ways that were way crueler than what he had done to her that month.
His behavior seemed to tell Catherine that he would repay the pain he had inflicted on Su Mian tenfold and a hundredfold on himself.
Catherine stood still on the spot, motionless. She fixed his eyes on him. Branden’s eyes were red, but Catherine’s were only numb.
Catherine measured him with her eyes from head to toe. She asked in composure, “You desire to join my camp?”
