Chapter 725 Pink Beach
After the first round of power struggles by the Johnville Team, no other team dared to engage in reckless behavior.
Losing the game was a small matter. Tarnishing the reputation of the entire school was the real issue.
No one knew if other teams would have hidden talents like the Styre Team, secretly harboring cheat-type players like Catherine.
Without any shenanigans, the Styre Team had also drawn a strong opponent and was prepared to begin the second round of the competition.
Marshall knew that Catherine was extremely talented, but they could not rely solely on her to participate in the competition.
Last time, it was because the Johnville Team played tricks, and this time, since they drew a team of equal strength, they must show their true level and not just rely on Catherine.
Marshall had discussed this with Catherine and advised her not to rush to take action but instead wait until team members were truly incapable before stepping in to turn the tide.
Catherine understood Marshall’s good intentions. He hoped to give every member of the team a chance to shine.
Taking advantage of the time when team members were preparing, Catherine took time off from Marshall.
Everyone came on this trip, but because she had a competition, her friends stayed inside the hotel and didn’t even go out the hotel doors.
The planned vacation turned into sleep in the hotel. She wanted to go on a trip with her good friend.
With only two days left until the start of the second round of competition, all team members were preparing for battle, except for Catherine, who was casually preparing for a vacation.
This made all of the team members extremely envious.
However, they could only envy it in their hearts because the gap between their abilities and Catherine’s was just too far.
Catherine was able to defeat the Johnville Team on her own easily. They would not be able to reach this level even if they tried their best. This was the source of Catherine’s arrogance.
Members of the group chat were ecstatic when they found out that Catherine could take two days off to accompany them on an outing.
The whole group immediately boiled up after earning a lot of money through Catherine’s strong power in the peripheral competition. They changed the name of the group to “Get Rich Quick” to express their joy.
There was a globally famous beach nearby. The sand on the beach was pink, so it had been evaluated by geographical magazines as the most romantic beach in the world.
Coincidentally, Branden had a yacht on a nearby island, so everyone decided to spend a romantic two-day, one-night getaway on the pink sand beach.
Zobber had packed her luggage early and was waiting for Catherine in the parking lot.
Catherine accompanied Amelia back to the dormitory. They happened to run into Marshall and a few others as they were coming down from the elevator on the first floor after finishing breakfast.
Marshall’s originally extremely serious face suddenly lit up with a big smile upon seeing Catherine. “Are you getting ready to go out?”
“Yeah,” Catherine responded lightly.
Like an elder, Marshall reminded her with a word of advice. “Be careful and come back early.”
“Okay!” Catherine obediently did not argue, then bid farewell to Marshall and walked out of the hall.
As soon as Catherine left, a few school leaders who were eating with Marshall couldn’t help but speak up. “Is Catherine going to play? Isn’t there a competition in two days?”
“Marshall, why did you still let her go out?”
Marshall remained calm, showing no signs of urgency or agitation. “Yes, the competition is coming up soon, so there’s a lot of pressure. Let her relax and wait until the competition to really perform well.”
Everyone looked at the calm Marshall, even though they didn’t know whether he was truly confident or just bold, but they didn’t continue to speak.
Anyway, as the mentor, Marshall was not in a hurry. What were they in a hurry for? Besides, they had already witnessed Catherine’s abilities.
Even though the opponent was so dangerous last time, they still won. Not to mention that this time, the opponent’s strength was far inferior to that of the Johnville Team.
The rest of the people began to chat and laugh again, but no one noticed Fergus’s gloomy face on the side.
Looking at the blue sea and sky, everyone’s mood unconsciously improves.
Zobber held the red wine glass and gently swirled it, and the disdainful expression on her face never disappeared. “This place is really nice. The sunshine is good. The beach is good, and even the seafood is good!”
Withal turned his head to look at her and couldn’t help but tease, “Yeah, look at that belly of yours. It’s so big that you look like a pregnant woman about to enter the delivery room.”
The seafood on the table was all freshly caught by Withal. The taste was extremely fresh and sweet. Even the pickiest eater, Zobber, couldn’t help but praise it and ate a lot, filling up the entire stomach.
Upon hearing this, Zobber immediately darkened her face, picked up the dining knife from the table, and shot it toward Withal.
The shiny sharp knife, fierce and steady, was just a tiny distance away from poking Withal’s eyes.
Thanks to the long-term cooperation between Withal and Zobber, Withal was familiar with her approach, which enabled him to escape this disaster.
Nevertheless, that sharp knife was drawn dangerously close to Withal’s temple.
After dodging the attack of the dagger, Withal excitedly patted his chest and looked at Zobber with a terrified expression of narrowly escaping death. “Old friend, with our so many years of friendship, why are you trying to kill me!”
“Humph!” Zobber coldly snorted, disdainfully saying, “Who gave you the right to speak out of turn? If it happens again, I’ll send you to beg for mercy in front of the King of Hell.”
Withal quickly apologized, “Madam, is it not enough that I admit my mistake?”
Zobber did not argue with him. In order to avoid ruining the atmosphere, she took the initiative to change the topic. ”
Unfortunately, such good wine, such good food, and such good scenery are all wasted as the suppliers are not present.”
The supplier was referring to none other than the owner of the yacht, Branden.
It was said that he did not come together because he had official business to attend to.
At the mention of this, everyone turned their gazes toward the bow of the ship.
Catherine was sitting at the railing of the bow with a huge visor hat on her head, pressed down very low, covering almost all of her face.
There was a fishing rod in front of her, patiently waiting for a fish to take the bait.
“You guys keep drinking. I will go bring some seafood to Catherine.” After Zobber finished speaking, she walked toward Catherine’s direction.
She placed the grilled prawns beside Catherine and said, “Catherine, have a bite.”
Hearing the voice, Catherine slowly sat up and raised the brim of her hat slightly, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
Catherine didn’t like noisy places, but she never stopped her friends from having fun around her.
She enjoyed sitting quietly on the side, admiring their joyful smiles. She reached for the large prawn that Zobber handed her, deftly picked up a piece of it, and slowly chewed on it.
Watching her actions, Zobber couldn’t help but swallow hard. ‘Was Catherine still human? She was so beautiful even when eating.’
Catherine finished her prawn and looked up at Zobber again.
Zobber understood that Catherine was waiting for her to speak. Sure enough, no matter how she tried to hide, she couldn’t escape Catherine’s scrutiny.
