Chapter 787 Inside the Secret Room
“Knock, knock, knock.” The sound of knocking on the door came, startling several people interrogating someone in the secret room.
Everyone’s nerves immediately tensed up, and the atmosphere inside the room immediately became quite solemn.
The leading man looked at the short man next to him. The shorter man pondered momentarily and then said in a suppressed voice, “Keyon went out just now. Could it be that he’s back?”
The leading man signaled the shorter man to open the door along with the other two men in black. The three of them held their weapons and walked toward the door cautiously.
The short man was responsible for opening the door, while the other two were responsible for guarding his side. Once there was a situation, they would immediately attack.
After opening the door, they found that there was no one outside.
The short man found it strange. He walked out to check the situation. ” Keyon…”
After waiting a few seconds, the short man disappeared without sound. The two men in black felt something was wrong and immediately rushed out to check the situation.
Subsequently, the two men in black also disappeared without a sound.
Looking at the dark doorway with no sound, the leading man finally realized something was wrong.
He stared vigilantly at the doorway, holding his weapon aimed at Withal’s vital point.
Although Withal was bound and had many marks of execution on his body, his attitude remained calm and dashing. He caught a familiar scent in the air, which made him more and more calm.
Hearing Withal’s silent laughter, the leading man’s expression instantly turned sinister. “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”
He took his weapon and poked it toward the wound on Withal’s thigh. Blood splattered instantly, and Withal gritted his teeth in pain, but he struggled to endure it without making any sound.
After taking a breath, Withal looked at the leading man with a face full of mockery. He said coldly, “I told you that this factory is haunted and gets even worse at night. You don’t believe me. Do you believe it now?”
The leading man naturally didn’t believe Withal’s flimflam. He had always lived in danger, so how could he believe these kinds of words?
After hearing Withal’s nonsense, he laughed out coldly. “Even if this place is haunted, so what? I’m not afraid.”
“You’re so bold!” Withal shrugged his shoulders casually, completely ignoring the leading man’s threat.
They waited a while longer, and there was still no movement outside.
The leading man and his men decided to go out together and take a look. Just as several of them walked to the door, a black shadow suddenly whizzed past.
The people present were all men with exceptional skills. They instantly clashed with the black shadow.
Although several people were super strong in terms of force, they still lost in front of the powerful Catherine.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the leading man immediately turned around and rushed toward Withal’s position.
He put Withal in a chokehold, then shouted at Catherine viciously. “Do you not care if he lives or dies?”
Hearing the voice, Catherine stopped slowly.
The crowd then surrounded her. It was just that Catherine’s aura was too strong for them to step forward.
“Catherine, you have to be careful. My life is in their hands.” Withal could still shout to Catherine cheerfully.
Catherine glanced at him, and her expression went cold.
The leading man choked Withal’s neck, and there was quite a bit of smugness in his eyes. “The God of War of the Hacker Alliance is just so-so. I thought you’re really a God of War.”
When Withal heard this, he became a bit dissatisfied. “Don’t be so arrogant. Since God brought us together, I’ll kindly give you a heads-up. The boy who threatened Catherine last time has been dead for a long time.”
The seemingly teasing words caused the leading man’s men present to tense up.
After all, they all knew very well that Withal’s words were not a threat to them. The person standing opposite them was someone who was known as the God of War.
They had also learned about Catherine’s strength just now. So many of them were no match for her, so it was obvious that Catherine’s strength was terrifying.
Catherine looked at the crowd with cold eyes, her voice cold. “I’m in a good mood today. If you release him, I’ll let you all go!”
Hearing Catherine’s words, the leading man responded savagely, “He’s in my hands. There’s no way to make me release him unless you come with us.”
Withal shook his head silently. He lamented in his heart secretly, “There are always people who are stubborn.”
Catherine narrowed her eyes. She ímmediately made a move.
After sensing Catherine’s movements, the people present also rushed forward and launched an attack.
The leading man did not expect Catherine to disregard Withal’s life and actually dare to make a move.
In anger, he wanted to kill Withal on the spot.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind suddenly whistled as soon as he made his move.
Then, a wooden stick was inserted into his palm. The wooden stick penetrated his palm, and blood instantly spurted out.
He didn’t expect Catherine to be able to attack him while she was fighting a group of his men.
She had injured his palm with a single wooden stick.
He endured the pain and pulled the stick out. After that, he prepared to pounce on Catherine.
The moment he turned around, he was dumbfounded. Catherine was already standing before him, and the men he had brought with him were all on the floor.
He gulped nervously and silently. He swore that if given another chance, he would never mess with Catherine. “We don’t know anything. You can kill us if you want.”
Just as he finished those words, Catherine knocked him out with her palm. The leading man fell to the side.
Catherine stepped forward and unshackled Withal.
Withal stared at the leading man on the floor and humorously commented, This brat talks a lot. No wonder he’s so vulnerable!”
Catherine glanced at him with a look of disgust. “He’s vulnerable, but you fell into his hands. Aren’t you vulnerable?”
Withal pouted nonchalantly. “I didn’t realize these people knew my moves as well as they did growing up with me.”
Withal’s words made Catherine frown.”
Tell me, what’s the situation? Where are Ronin and Zobber?”
At the mention of Ronin, Withal’s face became quite solemn.
“Things are troublesome this time.
They might be targeting us. Not only do they know the three of us very well, but they even understand our Hacker Alliance’s code words. Ronin was captured, and so was I after I sent Zobber out. They kept me here for interrogation. Ronin was moved somewhere else. Catherine, I suspect there is a traitor within us.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions yet.” Catherine helped Withal stand up.
Although Withal acted like he was fine, Catherine knew he was hurt badly. “I’ll walk you to Connie. Leave the rest to me.”
She would find Ronin. As for whether there was a traitor, she would investigate it.
Since this group was coming for them, she wouldn’t condone it, let alone be soft.
They were already making moves against her. What would they think of her if she didn’t fight back properly?
Noticing Catherine’s anger, Withal’s heart settled down quite a bit.
As long as Catherine was there, he believed there was nothing that couldn’t be solved. Their Catherine was really powerful.
