Chapter 610 Edson’s Target
Catherine casually picked up the phone and slipped on her headphones.
“Catherine, I got some fresh intel. You free to listen?”
“Yeah,” Catherine grunted in response.
Ronin hadn’t been hanging around Catherine muchtely. Because Catherine had assigned him a task,
and he went off to handle it.
Ever since they found out that the Breens had meddled with the Swann Corporation, they knew that
trouble was on the horizon.
So Ronin took it upon himself to snoop around the Breens, and he finally unearthed some confidential
stuff.
“Catherine, fire up yourputer!”
Hearing Ronin’s words, Catherine powered up herptop.
Soon, she received a file from Ronin. It was a medical diagnosis.
“Catherine, they’re saying this diagnosis belongs to Shane. Seems like he’s sick.”
Catherine scrutinized the report. Shane, that old fox, wouldn’t just let his health report fall into anyone’s
hands.
Even with Ronin’s intel, Catherine wasn’t jumping to conclusions. She scanned through and found
nothing fishy, but she still felt suspicious and refrained from an immediate confirmation.
Unable to pinpoint any issues at the moment, Catherine ordered Ronin, Keep going.”
“Got it!” Ronin’s tone grew serious. ” Catherine, I heard that the Breens know you’re in Loxton. They’re
sending folks your way soon. We gotta be extra cautious!”
Catherine remainedposed. She replied with a chilly expression, “Let theme.”
They coulde if they wanted, but leaving wouldn’t be their call.
Ronin understood Catherine’s message. There was Loxton in Eskana, not the Breens’ ce in Alton.
The Breens wouldn’t dare act recklessly here.
After years of developing in Eskana, they’d amassed enough finance and power to counter the Breens
in this territory.
But this wasn’t a long-term solution. They needed something to bnce out the Breens.
“Catherine, any results from Rodge’s side yet?”
“Just wrapped up phase one.”
Catherine wasn’t thrilled with the oue. However, in this experiment, they were the only ones
globally to havepleted the first testing phase. They had already achieved the fastest pace
worldwide.
After Ronin heard this, his mood immediately sank.
“Only at phase one? That’s slow! Even the Hacker Allianceb hasn’t cracked theirtest chip tech.
Without these two crucial tools, how do we take on Shane?”
To hold sway, they needed powerful weapons in their arsenal.
With both hoped-for weapons still unperfected, Ronin felt disheartened.
While Ronin was anxious, Catherine remainedposed as the key yer.
“No rush. What’s meant toe wille. Keep a close eye on Loxton and the Swann Corporation.
Let me know the minute anything pops up.”
She had her hands full with theb projects for now, leaving the Breens’ moves to Ronin to monitor.
“Don’t worry, Catherine. I’ll keep a tight watch,” Ronin replied.
The Breens’ business sprawled globally, with quite a fewpanies in Eskana.
Usually, their visits to inspectpany affairs were part of the routine, buttely, theirings and
goings had been too frequent.
Despite their discreet movements, they couldn’t evade the Duncans’ intelligencework.

After Paxton received the news, he had some covert probing. Then he passed the intel to Branden.
He said, “Mr. Duncan, the Breens’ folks seem unsettledtely.”
Aidan, who didn’t appear for a long time, was now present at the Duncans’.
Since Branden apanied Catherine to Loxton, Aidan returned overseas. Now, he relocated all the
Lanes’ assets back to Casier.
His visit to Loxton aimed at coborating with Branden. Having returned to the country, he wanted to
develop in Loxton.
Upon hearing Paxton’s report, Aidan was intrigued. “The Breens? What’s going on?”
After Paxton nced at Branden and saw no objection, he continued, “The Breens often send people
periodically to work in Eskana, but this time it’s different. Shane’s nephew, Edson, was sent. He spent a
week in Casier and arrived in Loxton by nest night. They opted for amercial flight to keep
things low-key.”
Aidan chuckled softly and then said, ” Interesting! The most notorious yboy from the Breens took a
commercial flight?”
It wasn’t the airline that was the issue, but because Aidan knew Edson quite well.
During his time abroad, he had heard quite a bit about Edson’s extravagant and shocking exploits.
Branden was unconcerned about the yboy’svish lifestyle. He wanted to know Edson’s purpose in
Eskana.
Shane had no biological sons, only a daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter wasn’t business-inclined.
Rumors mentioned that he had an adopted daughter, who was shrouded in mystery. Nobody knew who
she was except that Shane showered her with affection.
He even nned to betroth her to his nephew, Edson. There were rumors in the outside world that
Edson was set to seed Shane and be the next heir of the Breens.
Branden cast a slow nce at Paxton.
Paxton immediately adopted a serious demeanor and refrained from asking Aidan about Edson’s
outrageous activities overseas.
“Mr. Duncan, previously Edson was quite active in Casier. We found that he used a subsidiary to
acquire a significant portion of scattered shares of the Swann Corporation held.”
Hearing that, Aidan thought inwardly, ” The Swann Corporation?”
Aidan knew it was Catherine’s inheritance. He discreetly nced at Branden and gauged his reaction.
Catherine was currently someone very dear to Branden. Anyone meddling with her would be in for a
rough time.
Aidan wasn’t sure which family held more power between the Duncans and the Breens when they were
to confront each other.
“Does Catherine know?” Branden inquired.
“She should,” Paxton said. Actually, he wasn’t entirely certain. Catherine was too mysterious. The
information they could get, she probably could ess as well.
But the Swann Corporation waspletely silent as if they weren’t aware. That was why Paxton was
uncertain.
“Mr. Duncan, it seems like Edson’s target in Loxton might also be Miss Swann!”
Aidan’s eyes lit up suddenly, and his voice involuntarily rose as he asked, ” What?”
Paxton rolled his eyes at Aidan. He thought inwardly, “Mr. Duncan isn’t so anxious yet. Why is Aidan so
frantic?”
