All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 354 Chief’s Identity Revealed
Looking at Catherine’s graceful departure, Scott couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “Rodge, how can the chief walk out of the
laboratory? Aren’t there 108 layers of security measures here?”
It was extremely challenging to enter and leave the Arbotte Laboratory. The laboratory had numerous intricate security measures
in place.
Scott was utterly astonished to see Catherine leaving as if it were nothing. Rodge rolled his eyes silently and could not
understand why the team leader had paired him with such a chatterbox. He was on the verge of being annoyed.
Amid Scott’s ongoing questions, Rodge finally lost his temper and shouted, ” Don’t you know that the chief herself designed
these security measures? She can walk out because she created these mechanisms!”
Scott was stunned when those words left Rodge’s mouth. It took him a while to process the information. He only knew that the
chief was a genius in weapon design, but he had never imagined she was also a genius in creating security mechanisms.
Rumor had it that the reason the Arbotte Laboratory was so impregnable was due to its master builder, who was the only disciple
of the renowned master of mechanism design.
His inherited knowledge of mechanisms had been continually evolved and improved with time. Any mechanism built by them
was impervious to decryption.
Scott slowly realized that Rodge had said the chief was the one who created these security measures. This meant that the chief
was the sole apprentice of the legendary master of mechanisms.
He was surprised that he had stumbled upon something incredible once again. The chief of the Arbotte Laboratory was a genius
in weapon design and the sole inheritor of the legendary master!
“How could their chief be this powerful and versatile?” thought Scott. Scott felt like nothing more than a speck of dust in front of
Catherine, even though he was the pride of Halleywick!
The Duncans’ mansion.
As the owners of Zerwick’s most potent intelligence network, the Duncans received critical information from around the world
daily. Their elite team categorized and selected the most important news to present to the Duncans’ head for decision-making.

Paxton delivered the latest intelligence report to the study, where their boss, Branden, was.
“Mr. Duncan, we have received news. The last batch of advanced equipment from the Arbotte Laboratory has been decided to
be sold to Zerwick at a price ten points lower than what Alton offered,” said Paxton.
However, this news didn’t surprise Branden.
The Arbotte Laboratory’s mysterious chief seems to have a particular fondness for Zerwick. They noticed that looking through all
their products, they prioritize Zerwick whenever it involves Zerwick’s essential interests, even if it means lowering prices and
reducing income.
Paxton also had some critical information. He said, “Mr. Duncan, we intercepted a message. The Arbotte Laboratory seems to
have developed the latest generation of stealth fighter jets, and the first testing phase has already been completed!”
No more than three intelligence organizations had intercepted this message at the moment. It was bound to cause a
considerable stir once this news came out.
Regardless of which faction or power can obtain this stealth fighter, it will undoubtedly become a national treasure with far-
reaching consequences!
Branden ordered coldly, “Arrange for our people to monitor Arbotte’s activities closely. Notify me as soon as there is any news.
We cannot let this weapon fall into the hands of another country!”
“Mr. Duncan, you can rest assured!” Paxton assured him with a serious expression since his matter was important that none
dared to take lightly.
After handling official matters, Branden instructed Paxton to arrange his personal affairs, “Arrange a flight to Oceanvile for me
tomorrow.”
“Oceanvile?” Paxton looked somewhat surprised, “Mr. Duncan, are you going to see Miss Swann?”
Branden nodded slightly. Tomorrow would be the competition day, and his girl should be resting at this hour. He didn’t want to
disturb or affect her performance due to lack of sleep. Paxton quietly noted the matter in his heart after getting Branden’s answer.
He felt that Branden seemed to be growing increasingly fond of Catherine. This explained why Branden, who never worked
overtime, was up late last night to complete his work in advance and rushed to Oceanvile tomorrow to see Catherine.

He felt Branden was showing affection to singles in the middle of the night. These days were becoming more and more
challenging. The next day, Ronin arrived on the eighth floor early in the morning and knocked on Catherine’s door.
“Catherine, I’ve prepared breakfast for you. Please pick and eat!” said Ronin. They would be going to the venue soon, so Ronin
didn’t prepare too much, just a few dishes that Catherine liked.
Catherine was still half-asleep and silently chewed the food he handed her, mumbling unclearly, “Is everything ready?”
“Don’t worry, Catherine. I guarantee that everything will go smoothly today, and we’ll dazzle everyone’s eyes for sure!” replied
Ronin.
After a simple breakfast, Ronin picked up Catherine’s backpack and joined the rest of the team. Catherine leaned back as usual
in her seat and rested with her eyes closed at the venue.
She had returned late last night and received materials from Rodge, requiring her to review experimental data. She ended up
working until midnight.
Catherine needed some rest to ensure she was well-prepared. Bryan and Ronin acted like her bodyguards and guarded her on
both sides to ensure she could rest without disturbance.
They were sitting in the waiting area and surrounded by other contestants. Many people knew about Catherine’s team, especially
since they had received such high praise from the legendary, Grayson Clifford.
There were even rumors that Grayson himself carried Catherine’s team! The treatment of Catherine’s team was the envy of
many.
Emma Hazel sat with her teammates in the waiting area, and her teammates were aware of the rivalry between Emma and
Catherine. They weren’t fond of Catherine either.
Emma’s teammates couldn’t help but be sarcastic as she saw Catherine sleeping at a time like this, “It’s great to have
connections. Let’s take us as an example; we trained tirelessly all night, and she came here to sleep. When it’s time to perform,
she can easily get a high score from the mentors with a simple routine. Are they even worried about not getting votes with
Peerless Grayson’s support?”
Since Grayson had a massive fan base, his fans would naturally support the team he liked. Today’s finals would involve judges
scoring the performance and allowing all viewers watching the live broadcast to vote. The combination of these two would

determine the ultimate champion.
Therefore, the final results wouldn’t be available until after today’s competition.
This scoring method was quite common. Since large-scale competitions required substantial funding, this voting method helped
generate revenue to support the event.
However, it was also more challenging for the contestants as they needed positive feedback from judges and fan support
through voting. For some highly popular contestants, this scoring method was particularly advantageous!
This format was particularly advantageous for highly popular contestants like Catherine and Emma. Emma’s gaze towards
Catherine gradually turned fierce.
She was convinced that she could compete with Catherine and win the championship!
