Chapter 20 Is She Human?
Catherine suddenly halted, slowly turning her body with an icy expression on her face.
The men chasing after her felt a sense of unease, but they were even more astonished by Catherine’s stunning beauty.
Unlike the heavily adorned faces around, Catherine’s exquisite and pure appearance was a rare sight.
The man in front, catching a glimpse of Catherine’s face under her hat, got really excited.
“Oh my! You look amazing!”
His creepy demeanor and unsettling grin annoyed Catherine, causing her to furrow her brow.
Annoyed by losing sight of Joseph, these bothersome men conveniently appeared.
“Hey, why don’t you join us and have some fun, little girl?” one of them sneered. “We’ll make it worth your while. You name your
reward, and we’ll give it to you.”
The leading man, still wearing his sleazy smile, approached Catherine slowly, attempting to grab her.
In an instant, a mysterious figure swiftly intervened, causing the man to scream and collapse to the ground.
“My arm… it’s broken! My arm!”
Meanwhile, Catherine quickly composed herself, showing no signs of being bothered by the situation. She confidently took a
step forward.
With determination, she mercilessly pressed her foot onto the man’s face.
She despised that smile he had shown!
Since she disliked it, she would teach him a lesson, ensuring he would never dare to be so audacious again.
The man writhed in pain on the ground, wanting to scream, but Catherine’s foot kept him from doing so, causing him only agony.
Despite the struggle, Catherine’s strength was overwhelming, leaving him unable to escape.
Witnessing their companion’s suffering, the others quickly assessed the situation. One of them rallied the group, shouting,
“Alright, let’s go! Let’s teach her what true humiliation is!”
As they charged forward, the first person who reached Catherine was swiftly sent flying with a powerful kick.
The six-foot-tall man was sent flying by Catherine’s kick, crashing hard onto the ground. Unable to get up, he cried out in pain.
The other individuals were shocked by this scene.
No one expected Catherine, a petite and delicate girl, to possess such explosive power.
They weren’t trained fighters, so rushing in would mean certain death, right?
They exchanged glances, assessed their choices, and readied themselves to flee.
Catherine had already sensed their intentions and was determined not to give them any opportunity.
With her incredible strength, Catherine forcefully collided the two of them together, causing their heads to slam together with a
resounding thud.
Releasing her grip on them, Catherine swiftly punched each of them, sending them crashing to the ground.
Seeing his companions fall, the last remaining man fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
“Miss, I messed up. We were stupid to bother you. Please forgive me. I promise I won’t do it again. I’ll leave right now!”
“Hmph!” Catherine scoffed dismissively. When she acted, there was no room for hesitation or mercy.
Catherine decisively lifted her knee and delivered a strong kick, causing the kneeling man to instantly lose consciousness and
collapse unconscious to the ground.
In a matter of minutes, the once rowdy men were now sprawled on the ground, groaning in agony.
Most of them suffered from broken ribs or concussions, while the man who dared to lay a hand on Catherine had his arm
rendered completely useless.
Having dealt with the men, Catherine calmly turned around and walked away, effortlessly stepping over their fallen bodies.
Branden and the others on the second floor witnessed this scene unfold before their eyes.
“Oh, my God!” Triston exclaimed, utterly astonished and in disbelief.
For the first time, he experienced fear from someone other than Branden. “Is she even human?”
How on earth could she fight like that?
Catherine’s fighting skills seemed much better, like she had reached a whole new level. It made Triston wonder if even Paxton,
who was famous for his skills, could compete with her.
What if Catherine faced off against Branden in a fight? Who would come out on top?
Just as Triston was about to turn and talk to Branden, he was taken aback when he shifted his gaze and saw a graceful figure
effortlessly leaping over the railing from the second floor.
Triston couldn’t even comprehend what had happened, and Branden had already disappeared.
He was eager to catch up and be part of the excitement.
However, Paxton grabbed him by the collar, rendering him immobile.
Frustrated, Triston glared at Paxton and exclaimed, “Paxton, why are you holding me? Let go! We need to go after Mr. Duncan
before we lose him!”
Paxton held Triston firmly, his expression still icy cold, and he coldly replied, “Mr. Duncan doesn’t like people following him!”
Well, Triston knew that he wouldn’t be able to join in on the fun this time.
As long as Branden gave the command, Paxton would never let him go.
But he really wanted to see what Branden would do, chasing after Catherine. What should he do?
