Chapter 789 I’m Coming to You
Just after three in the morning, Zobber, who had been unconscious for two hours, slowly woke up. She opened her eyes for a split second and closed them again. She lay quietly. Her breathing was adjusted to evenly.
“Get up if you’re awake!” Catherine said. The familiar sound of her voice made Zobber immediately sit up from the hospital bed with a roll.
Catherine couldn’t help but remind her on the side, “Slow down. Connie just sewed up the wound on your abdomen. Don’t break it!”
“Catherine, it’s not a problem. This little wound is nothing.”
When Zobber had just woken up, she had not fully reacted and instinctively activated an emergency state of alert. She wanted to continue pretending to be unconscious and then observe the surroundings before making a judgment.
However, no matter how well she hid it, she couldn’t hide from Catherine’s sensitive ears.
Catherine then took the initiative to speak. After hearing Catherine’s voice, Zobber confirmed that she had been safely saved. She then didn’t need to disguise herself any longer.
“Catherine, Ronin was captured, and Withal was captured as well. I’m the only one who escaped. They’re all in danger now.”
Catherine nodded slightly, indicating that she was aware of what Zobber had said. “I went to rescue Withal before I went to find you!”
Zobber’s heart tightened when she realized that Catherine hadn’t mentioned Ronin, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What about Ronin?”
Catherine told her the truth. “I haven’t got any news yet. I’ve checked through several channels for news of Ronin, but all to no avail.”
Zobber guessed the key point at once and thought in her mind. “Catherine must have missed the best time to rescue Ronin because she wanted to save me.”
She lowered her head, somewhat dejected. “Catherine, it’s my fault. I’m useless. I couldn’t beat that group, and I got myself hurt.”
Zobber continued to blame herself in her heart, “I wouldn’t have gotten myself hurt if I hadn’t hesitated when Withal protected me escape and hadn’t recklessly tried to turn back to save others. If I hadn’t gotten hurt, I could have escaped back to inform Catherine, and she wouldn’t have had to waste her time rescuing me. That way, Catherine wouldn’t miss the best time to save Ronin. With Catherine’s ability, tracking Ronin’s whereabouts wouldn’t be a problem now.”
Seeing her blaming herself, Catherine reached out and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. “It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself. Tell me what you know, and I’ll bring Ronin back safely.”
Zobber carefully recalled what happened then. The three of them had received a call for help from headquarters at the same time.
The incident was in Loxton, and they were the closest personnel to this base.
So, the three of them decided to go together as soon as they could.
They thought it was just a small problem that could usually be solved by any of them and thought the three of them going together could solve it quickly.
Therefore, the three of them let their guard down a bit.
They thought that with their abilities, they would be able to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations.
But when they arrived at the factory, an accident happened.
The enemy ambushed them. Their enemy knew them very well, and not only that, but they also carried very advanced weapons.
These weapons simply could not be found in the tightly controlled country of Eskana, which was why the three of them lost the battle.
The three realized that this group of people was definitely not simple. To be able to deliver the message to Catherine, the three decided to arrange for one of them to run out desperately.
In the end, Ronin and Withal teamed up to protect Zobber and let her escape.
“Catherine, could it be someone from the Breens?” Zobber thought about it, and of all the people they had offended recently, the most powerful were the Breens.
Catherine thought for a moment and dismissed Zobber’s answer. “Shane doesn’t know about my relationship with the Hacker Alliance yet!”
“We’ve been exposed when we went back to Florona this time. Maybe that was when he found out!” said Zobber.
The Breens didn’t start with a legitimate business. It was initially developed by selling weapons through war and later engaged in illegal business to consolidate its power.
Even now, the Breens still had many illegal forces. And this was the fundamental reason why the powerful Breens could make people afraid.
Catherine thought that Zobber had a point.
Based on Shane’s ability, it was indeed possible for him to find out about it. ” You rest here and take care. I’ll go check again.”
Zobber was a bit uneasy. Although she knew that Catherine was powerful, it was dangerous this time.
The enemy seemed to know them well. Zobber felt like there was an invisible pair of big hands pinching them in the darkness.
“Catherine, how about you contact Mr. Duncan? He still has men here, and you can use them!” Zobber shared Withal’s suspicion that there was a traitor within them.
She dared not suggest Catherine use the power of the Hacker Alliance. Before the matter was thoroughly investigated, every member of the Hacker Alliance might be a traitor.
“I’ll contact him later,” Catherine replied.
It would be dawn in a little while. Catherine thought it wouldn’t be too late to tell Branden about it when he got to work during the day.
Seeing that Catherine had her own ideas, Zobber said nothing more.
Unable to enlist help, Catherine went looking for clues herself.
After getting out of Connie’s clinic, Catherine returned to the abandoned factory once more.
There was still quite a bit of blood on the ground from the fight, but the area around it seemed to have been cleaned up. Catherine inspected around and couldn’t find any valuable clues.
She came out of the factory when a ringing tone came from her pocket.
Catherine pulled out her cell phone and saw that it was Branden calling. She picked the phone up and put it to her ear.
“Where are you?” There was undisguised anxiety in Branden’s voice.
Catherine didn’t respond and asked instead, “What about you?”
A rustling could be heard on the other end of the line, followed by Branden’s voice responding. “I am about to set off to find you.”
It looked like he should have just received the news. Catherine had always had someone arranged by Branden to protect her when she was in Loxton, so it was not surprising that Branden knew the news.
“No, you don’t need to do that. I’m fine! “Catherine didn’t want Branden to come at this time. She had her own way. “You don’t have to come. Just arrange two men for me!”
Branden attempted to persuade Catherine, but she was adamant. She wanted Branden to finish the business in Casier before returning to Loxton.
Her situation there was not urgent enough to require Branden to come personally. Catherine’s persistent attitude forced Branden to abandon his plan to go to Loxton. “I’ll send Carlo and Francis to you. All my men in Loxton are at your disposal.”
Although Catherine felt that Branden was exaggerating, she didn’t refuse him. In a relationship, mutual respect is the key to getting along well with each other.
“Okay!” Catherine hung up the phone and sent her location to Branden, asking him to notify Francis and Carlo to come and help.
All Catherine had to do now was wait. She was sure someone would contact her. She knew the other party’s ultimate goal wasn’t Ronin but her!
