All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 419 Missing

The plane from Zerwick to Alton had only just landed, and Branden, who had just gotten off the plane, turned on his cell phone and made a phone call.

A mechanically cold female voice came over the phone, “Hello, the number you have dialed has been turned off!”

Branden hung up and used WhatsApp to make a video call. Still, no one answered, and it disconnected automatically. Branden’s brow instantly furrowed. ” Go find out where Catherine is!”

Knowing that Branden had gone to Alton primarily for Catherine’s sake, Paxton didn’t dare to cause a delay.

“Mr. Duncan, I’ll do it right away!”

On Scorpion Island, Catherine had just walked from the shooting range to the lounge when she saw her phone screen darkening.

She picked up her phone and realized that Branden had called her. For convenience, she didn’t bring her phone with her during training. She usually set her phone to quiet mode and placed it in the lounge.

Just as Catherine was about to return Branden’s call, Withal called in. Catherine picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

“Catherine, the news of Red Star is confirmed. The chief of their organization will personally come to preside over this deal this time!”

A deal that could make the chief of Red Star personally appear was definitely not ordinary. After learning about this matter, an idea immediately came to Catherine’s mind.

“Withal, don’t act rashly. You only have one goal: to find out the chief of Red Star for me. You just need to find out his identity.”

As long as she could find out who the Red Star’s chief was, she believed she could take revenge with her ability.

Although Withal was usually arrogant, he knew that his ability was limited. Red Star’s chief was a big man who had made even a tough character like Catherine fall into his trap back then. Withal was no match for him, and he needed to be self-aware of this fact.

“Don’t worry. I’ll do what I can. It’s best if I can find out his identity. I’ll try my best!”

Catherine also meant the same thing. She couldn’t leave right now for the time being. Otherwise, she would definitely go to meet the chief of Red Star in person to avenge herself.

Withal was the person who worked for her, and his life was more important than anything else. After hanging up Withal’s phone call, Catherine received a message from Jon.

She didn’t have time to respond to Branden. Thinking that it shouldn’t be a big deal, she dropped her phone in the lounge and returned to the playground. After arriving at the shooting range, Catherine obtained the latest data from Jon.

Eight out of a group of 18 people passed the test. What surprised Catherine was that the three people sent by the Duncans all passed the test. It seemed that these three people still had some skills.

Catherine stood in front of the crowd with her hands behind her back, her body’s aura unusually powerful, giving people an unparalleled sense of authority.

“I always keep my word. Those who passed the task can rest now. Those who didn’t pass will now begin the next round of physical training. You must practice more if your physical fitness is not as good as others. Do you think you’ll have food if you can’t practice well? Dream on!”

The eight people who passed the task breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Catherine kept her word and didn’t make things difficult for them again.

The people who did not pass the task had a fluke mentality. Although physical training was painful, it was only physical pain, which was much simpler than psychological pain.

Jon approached Catherine, and now he had no doubts about her abilities. He dared to guarantee that the people Catherine trained would be the kings of Scorpion Island.

He had never seen such a training method before, and after only two days of training, half of those who participated in the training were eliminated. In such an environment dominated by the strong, only the strongest among the strong could survive.

“Mr. Anon, are you still planning to train them with such intensity next?”

Catherine sat on the roof of the jeep in an extremely arrogant posture, looking down at Jon and saying, “There will only be stronger intensity.”

Jon furrowed his brow slightly, and based on the current situation, the trainees were already exhausted.

“Mr. Anon, aren’t you worried that if the intensity is too much, there won’t be anyone left in the end?” Jon asked the thing worrying him the most.

He really couldn’t guarantee how many people would be left in the end.

Facing Jon’s inquiry, Catherine smiled playfully and looked at him. “That only proves that there is no one strong among them!”

The truly strong would be stronger when they met the strong. “Isn’t the mission I came to Scorpion Island to select the strong?”

Catherine’s explanation made Jon understand her intentions.

Catherine would not reduce the training intensity. The scene in front was brutal for the trainees, but it was only beginning for Catherine. To survive there, one must be the strongest among the strong.

Jon had no right to interfere with any of the training content. He could only silently pray for those trainees in his heart. He didn’t know whether it was their good fortune or misfortune to run into such a devilish instructor.

After arriving at the Duncans’ villa in Alton and putting down his things, Branden contacted Catherine first.

She still couldn’t be reached, and no one replied on WhatsApp. The man, who was always calm and steady, had an immediate change in his expression because he couldn’t contact Catherine.

Hearing a sound coming from the front, Branden immediately looked up. Realizing that he was looking over, Paxton quickened his pace quickly.

“Mr. Duncan, I can’t find out anything about Miss Swann. This is the last picture of her before she disappeared!”

Paxton showed the footage taken by the surveillance cameras before Catherine disappeared, and everything in the footage was normal. Catherine got rid of those who had been placed around her for protection on her own.

Branden was able to contact Catherine the first two days so he did not inquire about her specific situation. It had only been half a day since he couldn’t reach Catherine, and Paxton felt that Branden was a little overwrought.

“Mr. Duncan, maybe Miss Swann is just giving a class to the students and doesn’t notice the call. She will contact you after class later! Now is not yet the end of class time in Alton!”

Actually, Paxton really wanted to say that they hadn’t been in touch for just half a day. Moreover, after Catherine disappeared, it was not that she hadn’t been in contact with Branden. A few hours ago, the two video-called, and Catherine was doing fine.

The probability of not looking at her phone due to being busy in such a short period of time was very high. The biggest concern for Paxton was still the issue of time, as there were only two hours left before they needed to trade.

He was worried that Branden would be distracted by this. Although he knew Branden was powerful, there had never been a Catherine as a variable in the past.

Branden had made too many impossible things possible because of Catherine. Despite the danger, Paxton took the risk to remind Branden of the current time. Branden nodded slightly with a cold expression before standing up.

“Let’s go!”

The two cold words instantly gave Paxton the feeling of returning from hell to heaven. Just a moment ago, he almost thought he was going to be killed by Branden.
