Chapter 465 The Scarred Man


    Catherine didn’t even nce at the documents the kidnapper held. She had one request.


    “I’ll sign when I see her.”


    Catherine stood at the entrance of the factory. The afternoon sun cast a glow upon her, which made it


    impossible to discern her expression or features.


    However, she exuded an intense aura that was hard to ignore. Upon hearing Catherine’s demand, the


    scarred man sneered and squinted his eyes. He stared at Catherine with a malevolent look in his gaze.


    “Kid, I’ve got the upper hand now. You’re no one to negotiate with me.


    “Come over here and sign this obediently. I’m giving you this opportunity because you’ve got some guts


    left. Don’t think just because you’re a girl, I can’t handle you.”


    The scarred man often enjoyed hunting in the mountains, but when he captured prey, he wouldn’t


    immediately finish it off.


    Instead, he’d give the prey a glimmer of hope and let it escape. When the prey believed it had escaped,


    he’d recapture and kill it.


    He would make his prey experience the utmost despair before eventually dying in agony. To the


    scarred man, Catherine was now just like the prey he had recently captured. However, this was just the


    scarred man’s imagination.


    After all, he was facing Catherine.


    Catherine idly yed with her fingers.


    She was thoroughly uninterested in the scarred man’s nonsense. She remained calm and casually


    looked up, with her eyebrows slightly arched.


    “Stop wasting time. If you’re going to act, do it quickly!”


    “Oh…” the scarred man chortled. He was taken aback by Catherine’s confidence. He looked at


    Catherine mockingly and waved his hand toward the two henchmen behind him.


    Dealing with a girl like Catherine, he thought two of his men were overkill. His two henchmen rubbed


    their hands eagerly and stepped forward with smiles on their faces.


    They had been itching for Catherine for a while now. With her stunning face and attractive figure, she


    was extremely beautiful.


    She was even better than the top-notchdies from the high-end clubs. And she came from a wealthy


    family to boot.


    Catherine was so extraordinary. Just getting a touch would be a jackpot for them. They would have


    pounced long ago if their boss hadn’t held them back.


    With excitement, the two men inched closer to Catherine. One of them couldn’t resist reaching out a


    hand when he was just a step away from Catherine. But before his hand could touch Catherine’s


    clothes, suddenly…


    A gust of wind rushed in. The men couldn’t quite grasp how Catherine moved so quickly, but he felt a


    powerful force pulling his body forward, and then he was sent sprawling.


    Then came two crisp snaps, and his forearm was twisted into an unnatural position. He didn’t even


    have time to register the pain or scream.


    Catherine swiftly raised her leg and brought it down hard on the man’s lower back.


    “Ah…”


    A wretched scream followed, and the many writhing on the ground in agony. The force behind that


    kick was enough to leave him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.


    On the side, another henchman witnessed everything up close, leaving him petrified. He had been in


    the game for years and seen many tough folks, but never had he witnessed anything as terrifying as


    this.


    Moreover, Catherine was just a young girl.


    Catherinezily scrutinized the other henchman. She extended her hand and lightly beckoned him with


    her finger. The henchman screamed in fear and instinctively tried to retreat.


    Catherine lifted her foot and delivered a powerful kick, sending him flying through the air before


    crashing onto the ground.


    A loud thud followed as his massive body hit the ground. It caused a cloud of dust. The henchman


    struggled to get up and attempted to seek help from the scarred man.


    But as he opened his mouth, a surge of blood gushed from his lips. Then he copsed to the ground


    without lifting his head. The scarred man was sttered with hisrade’s blood. He stood there in


    shock.


    He hadn’t expected Catherine to be this formidable. At that moment, he finally understood why his boss


    had warned him to be cautious of Catherine.


    His grip on the small vial in his pocket tightened. With anxiety, he felt regret that he didn’t use it. His


    boss had prepared a vial of special substance for him to deal with Catherine.


    By threatening her through Audrey, he’d make Catherine take the substance and then have her sign


    the agreement.


    But upon seeing Catherine, he dismissed her as just a pretty girl. He thought his boss was overreacting


    and didn’t follow the n.


    Now he realized his mistake.


    The scarred man turned around and saw his dozen or so henchmen behind him. They were all armed


    with weapons. He himself had a revolver holstered on his waist. With this kind of firepower, Catherine’s


    strength was irrelevant.


    Thinking of this, the scarred man regained his confidence. He looked at his henchmen as he raised his


    arms and shouted, “Let’s go together! Once we finish her, we’ll have a victory celebration tonight!”


    Motivated by the scarred man’s call, the henchmen brimmed with enthusiasm. Catherine still


    maintained her indifferent posture. She was seemingly unimpressed with their numbers.

    But she thought the scarred man’s decision was quite sensible. For Catherine, dealing with all of them


    at once was more efficient. With a thunderous roar, the henchmen charged forward and caused a cloud


    of dust.


    Catherine stood her ground and allowed them to approach. When a henchman swung a baseball bat at


    her head, she casually retaliated. She lifted her leg and delivered a swift kick to the henchman’s head.


    With a side kick, the henchman holding the baseball bat went flying in an instant.


    Then Catherine grabbed another henchman. She seized his arm and struck his abdomen with her


    other hand.


    Her movements were swift and precise. She delivered a brutal blow.


    Coincidentally, the two individuals who were struck happened to be together, providing each other with


    somepany.


    In just a few short minutes, Catherine hadpletely dismantled the opposition. Their previously


    confident demeanor had crumbled under Catherine’s blows. Now, they were filled with fear. The


    scarred man was stunned. He stood frozen and forgot to move.


    It wasn’t until Catherine sent another henchman flying andnded right in front of him, emitting a


    deafening scream, that he snapped out of his stupor.


    In a frenzy, the scarred man hastily drew his revolver and trembled as he aimed it at Catherine. At that


    moment, the scarred man was wearing a self-satisfied grin.


    In his view, no matter how powerful Catherine’s fists were, she couldn’t withstand the cold bullets. No


    matter how good she was at fighting, she would still end up dead in his hands shortly.


    Catherine, who was in the midst of fighting, suddenly felt a chilling presence behind her. After she


    quickly turned her head, their gazes met.


    The scarred man hadn’t anticipated Catherine to turn around at this critical moment. He was shocked


    by the look in Catherine’s eyes.


    Her gaze was akin to a ck hole and seemingly capable of swallowing everything. It brimmed with an


    iprehensible and formidable power.


    After years in the game, he had lived through some seriously tough times.


    He had seen all kinds of tough folks, but it was the first time he’d encountered someone with such an


    intense presence.


    The scarred man was stunned, and his hand paused.


    After just a briefpse of 0.01 seconds, the situation took aplete turn.
