Catherine woke up and was shocked by the breakfast on the table. There were various desserts, oatmeal, and even Itascan ham on the table."What a full breakfast. Are you preparing all the food at home and abroad?" Catherine looked up, her eyes full of surprise at Branden who was still busy at one side.Branden elegantly drew a tissue and wiped his hands clean before coming up to embrace Catherine. "If that's the case, I would have to make at least 108 dishes. This is not even worthy of being called a full breakfast. It's just a bit more varied, so you can choose from a variety of options. Didn't you say you have a stomach problem? Breakfast is the most important of the three meals. Since you don't have a good stomach, our first step is to improve your breakfast."Seeing Catherine frown, Branden guessed what she was going to say and immediately gave an explanation. "Don't worry. We're not going to waste the food. Just pick your favorite food and I'll finish the rest later with Cory a

"What?" Zobber's eyes widened in disbelief, and her voice unconsciously became louder.Seeing Withal and Ronin nod in unison, Zobber felt disappointed instantly."Isn't Catherine going too far? For her research, for her experiments, she completely disregards our safety? I almost died." Zobber's tone contained an indescribable anger.Ronin said, "You know why I betrayed Catherine now? I followed Catherine for so many years. I didn't want to do it. But when I was imprisoned and constantly tortured, I was desperate. No one came to save me, and I had no choice but to be killed. Obviously, Catherine had the power to save me, but she didn't come, did she?"Ronin's voice grew sadder and sadder, and the expression on his face grew more and more desperate.Zobber reached out and patted Ronin on the shoulder. "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you before. I only understand the despair now."Seeing that it was almost time, Ronin got straight to the point. "Zobber, join with us."Zobber looked dow

Late at night, Aaron sat alone under a tree in the courtyard, feeling the gentle breeze. Despite the chirping of birds and insects around him, he felt lonely. Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, he let out a long sigh.Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. Looking up at the sky, he slowly said, "Put the coffee there. There's no rush to drink it.""It's getting late. Drinking coffee is bad for your sleep!" The voice was low and indifferent.Aaron felt a chill run through him as if he were in a dream. He couldn't believe the voice he had just heard. Not hearing any sound behind him, he anxiously turned around, only to see Rylan standing behind him. At that moment, Aaron couldn't even blink.Rylan carefully examined him, observing his gray hair, and finally said, "Grandpa!"It wasn't a dream. Aaron quickly composed himself, replacing his surprised expression with a stern look. "What are you doing here? Didn't we cut off contact? Who allowed you to come in?"Rylan knew his

Little did Catherine know that she would encounter a group of skilled intruders on her way back from the laboratory that evening. As she left the school gate, she sensed someone following her discreetly.Intentionally taking a detour through a side path, Catherine wanted to ascertain the identity and motives of the people following her.Reaching the corner, she paused and turned around to find no one behind her. "No need to hide, guys. Come out!" she called out.The next moment, four men dressed in black with masks emerged from the shadows. Though they hadn't engaged in combat yet, Catherine could tell they were formidable.The leader of the group, with a sharp and piercing gaze, locked eyes with Catherine. "Since you've spotted us, why not just come with us and save us the trouble?" he said.With a cold laugh, Catherine replied in a nonchalant tone, "Are you sure you can take me with you?"Her calm demeanor unsettled the leader, who had been aware of Catherine's formidable abili

Ronin and Withal arrived at the destination almost at the same time as Carlo. Luckily, they weren't in disguise or wearing masks, which could have led to a confrontation.Carlo frowned when he saw Ronin. "What are you doing here?"Ronin smiled. "I was about to ask you the same thing."Withal, standing nearby, grew frustrated and puzzled. "Since our goals are the same, why bother with the details? Let's work together and capture those four guys."Carlo's appearance here was clearly at the behest of Branden, while Ronin had come for Catherine. Withal was right—they did share a common goal.Ronin was about to retort but was stopped by Withal. "The bigger picture matters."After negotiations, both sides decided to act together. The four men who had attacked Catherine were already injured during their escape. They had underestimated Carlo, and they didn't expect Ronin and Withal to join forces. Despite their skills, the four men were quickly captured.However, a disagreement arose
