Chapter 435 A Clumsy Trap
“What’s there to regret about trading your life for a chance?”
Branden cocked his brows and looked at Catherine with a smile.
He didn’t care, so why was she worried?
Catherine threw the things in her hands away, leaned back and was about to get some rest.
Conditions were limited in the dense forest, and Catherine wasn’t fussy, so she could rest just by leaning against a
rock.
Just as she was about to lie down, Branden stretched out his long arm and pulled Catherine up in an embrace.
“Here you go. You’ll be more comfortable like this.”
Catherine didn’t refuse. She adjusted to a comfortable position in Branden’s arms and began to rest. Everyone’s
stamina was limited, and the battle had already tired them out.
Now that their team was in the top three of the leaderboard, a little rest and full preparation for the night’s
competition was the best thing they could do.
The place Branden chose was very well hidden. Resting peacefully here for a few hours would not be a problem.
Branden looked down at the delicate little face in his arms, the smile at the corners of his mouth widened infinitely.
Finally, he was holding her in his arms again!
Everything was worth it!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPaxton repeatedly scrutinized the monitor screen but couldn’t locate Branden and Catherine. His heart was
thumping wildly from the fight just now. It was so exciting that it made his blood boil.
He bet the wound on Branden’s leg must have opened up again after the battle. He wanted to find Branden now
and see how he was doing.
If he couldn’t, he would arrange for a helicopter to go in and get Branden out. But in the blink of an eye, Branden
disappeared without a trace.
Paxton stared at the monitor and tried to find Branden several times but couldn’t see any sign of him and
Catherine. Having no choice, Paxton could only seek Jon’s help.
“Quickly help me look for them! Where are they!”
Jon shrugged and spread his hands. He wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do.
“It’s no use. I can’t find them either!”
“Aren’t you the chief instructor of Scorpion Island?” Paxton roared in anger.
“Catherine is the instructor for this training!”
Jon looked at Paxton with an innocent expression. He really couldn’t do anything about it, and like Paxton, he started
looking for signs of the two from the moment they disappeared, but in the end, he found nothing.
They seemed to have disappeared into thin air. There were no traces of them in an instant. This was an amazing
skill. It would be very hard for an ordinary person to do such a thing.
Seeing Paxton anxiously pacing back and forth, Jon opened a beer bottle and threw it to him.
“Come on, bro. Why worry so much? Not to mention how strong Branden is, Mr. Anon alone is enough to keep him
safe! Can’t you see Mr. Anon’s intentional favoritism?”
It was obvious that they could have been split into four teams, but they were deliberately grouped into five!
For the sake of the extra Branden, Catherine even had to include herself in training. What else would this be, if not
favoritism?
Paxton reacted with hindsight and felt Jon’s words made sense, and his tense heart relaxed.
Sitting quietly in front of the monitor, he continued to monitor the battle situation in the dense forest.
The speed of the Duncans’ team of three was relatively slow, and Branden and Catherine were already gone by the
time they arrived.
Not being able to fight against the two made the trio somewhat disappointed. Carlo regretfully said, “What a
shame. I thought I’d finally get a chance to fight Mr. Duncan!”
Since Branden took over the Duncans at 16, they hadn’t had the chance to fight him again.
Hearing Carlo’s sigh of regret, Cory couldn’t help but ridicule, saying, ” Even if you were given the chance, you’d
only end up being eliminated!”
“Not to mention Mr. Duncan, the three of us are no match for Mr. Anon alone!”
At the mention of Mr. Anon, even a tough man like Carlo couldn’t help but tremble. He scrunched up his neck and
obediently hid to the side.
Francis leaned down on the ground and carefully observed the battlefield after the chaos. Seeing him continuously
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexploring forward, Cory came forward and inquired in a whisper, “Any findings?”
Francis cautiously nodded. “Perhaps I can find where Mr. Duncan is now!”
Cory had no doubts about Francis’ words.
Even Branden had said that Francis was a born jungle king.
Nothing was complicated for him in the dense forest.
“If we know where Mr. Duncan is staying, we can quietly approach them and catch them off guard. Wouldn’t that
give us a better chance of winning?
Cory narrowed his eyes and looked at the duo with a sly grin. Carlo instantly got excited. “Then what are we waiting
for? Let’s go. I’m a little looking forward to it.”
“We can’t beat Mr. Duncan head-on, but we can launch a sneak attack from the side, right?” thought he.
Catherine opened her eyes exactly an hour later. When the time was up, she opened her eyes spontaneously, as if
someone had put an alarm in her head.
She looked upwards, and the man seemed to have woken up even earlier than she had. He looked at her with a
tender gaze, his posture already adjusted. Catherine propped her elbows on the ground and brought her body
upright.
Just as she was about to stand up, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she carefully listened to the changes in her
surroundings. There seemed to be something going on.
