Chapter 729 Neurotoxins


    With their night vision goggles, the two men in ck could see clearly in the pitch-ck environment.


    Their boss had warned them that the woman not only had goodbat skills but was also very clever,


    so they had to be extra cautious. Quietly, they pried open the door of the restroom. In the pitch- ck


    interior, their targety motionless next to the toilet.


    One of the men gestured for hispanion to drag Catherine, who had been rendered unconscious by


    drugs, out of the restroom. However, as hispanion bent down to pull her up, he suddenly froze in


    ce.


    “Alpha, what’s going on? Pull her up!” The man found it strange and called out several times, but his


    companion remained unresponsive. In frustration, he reached out to pull hispanion, trying to figure


    out if he had suddenly gone deaf or something unusual had urred. To his surprise, when he gently


    pushed hispanion, thetter suddenly copsed.


    The unexpected turn of events shocked the man. He didn’t have time to assess hispanion’s


    condition and instinctively looked up to check on Catherine. In that instant, their eyes met. The chilling


    coldness in her icy gaze sent a shiver down his spine. Before he could react, he felt a gust of wind, and


    in an instant, everything went ck as he copsed to the ground.


    Watching the two men on the ground, Catherine slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. Her head


    was still spinning, and she didn’t know what kind of drug they had used on her to produce such a


    strong effect. These two were not to be underestimated. If they had attacked her simultaneously just


    now, given her current condition, she might not have been able to escape unscathed. That was why


    she had pretended to be unconscious, deliberately letting down their guard, and only then had she


    been able to subdue them both.


    When Ronin and the others arrived, Catherine was still standing there, leaning against the wall for


    support. Seeing this, Branden rushed forward and embraced her. “How are you?” Catherine tried to


    speak but found her throat constricting, rendering her unable to produce any sound. Sensing her


    distress, Branden immediately scooped her up and carried her away from the scene.


    ring at the two men on the ground, Ronin rushed forward to deliver a few kicks. “Damn bastards!


    How dare you ambush Catherine? I’m gonna skin you alive!”


    Withal quickly intervened to stop Ronin from causing further harm. Ronin struggled furiously, almost


    coming to blows with Withal. “Withal, why are you stopping me? These bastards dared to attack


    Catherine. I gotta kill them!”


    Withal held Ronin back. “I know you’re angry. You can do whatever you want to them, but we need to


    keep them alive, understand? This situation is not that simple; we must find the mastermind behind


    this!”


    Withal could tell that these two men were skilled inbat. However, no matter how strong they were,


    they were no match for Catherine. They couldn’t hurt Catherine; there had to be a reason for the


    unusual situation, and there must be something fishy going оп.


    Withal’s words gradually restored Ronin’s lostposure.


    “Zobber, you stay here with Ronin and take them away. Connie and I will go to the hospital!” Withal


    instructed.


    Zobber nodded; she was also worried about Catherine’s condition, but she understood that the most


    important thing at the moment was to find the mastermind. “Ronin, let’s go!” she said.


    Zobber and Ronin were about to leave with the two men in ck when they were intercepted by a


    group of people led by Francis.


    “What do you want?” Ronin looked disdainfully at Francis. He was in an extremely bad mood right now,


    and if these people wanted to cause trouble, he would make them regret it. After all, Catherine was the


    most important one to him.


    Ronin’s attitude was not friendly, and Francis didn’t back down either. It seemed like a confrontation


    was about to happen, but fortunately, Paxton arrived just in time.


    Paxton stood between the two men, patting Francis’s shoulder. After Francis took a step back, Paxton


    slowly said to Ronin, “Calm down. Boss has ordered us to take care of these two guys. Trust me. I will


    give you a satisfactory answerter! Maybe your friends at the hospital need your help. You two are


    among Miss Swann’s most trusted people. You can help them!”


    Although Zobber was also on the verge of throwing a fit, she understood that Paxton was right. They


    were angry, and Branden was even angrier. They wanted to find the mastermind, and Branden would


    also take action to catch them.


    The Hacker Alliance’s influence in Alton was not suitable for exposure at the moment. Zobber


    murmured a few words to Ronin.


    Ronin, feeling somewhat resentful, threw the men to the ground and provocatively looked at Paxton.


    “You’d better do your best, or don’t me me for looking down on you.”


    “Don’t worry!” Paxton assured with a serious expression on his face, and Ronin reluctantly left with


    Zobber.


    As soon as they left, Paxton handed the men over to Francis. The situation at the hospital was still


    unclear; he had to go and help Branden.


    Catherine was very important to Branden. Right now, all Paxton could do was pray that nothing would


    happen to her, or else the world would be in chaos…


    The hospital was suddenly flooded with a group of important figures, which frightened the director into


    personally leading the medical team to provide support.


    “Mr. Duncan, why have youe in person?” The director nodded and smiled obsequiously, but


    Branden didn’t even spare him a nce.


    Paxton stepped forward and kept the director a few steps away. “It’s Mr. Duncan’s fiancée who’s


    injured. We hope you will cooperate with us.”


    “No problem, we will do everything we can to save her. Please rest assured,” the director assured.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Then, the door of the treatment room was pushed open. Leading the way was Connie, dressed in a


    white coat, and behind her were the experts from various departments of the hospital.


    Branden furrowed his brow and took a step forward, his sharp eyes locked onto Connie. The terrifying


    gaze sent shivers down her spine. “Catherine’s fiancé is a tough man,” she thought.


    “What’s the situation?” Branden’s cold voice brought Connie’s wandering thoughts back. She furrowed


    her brow and shook her head despondently at him, saying, “I can only confirm that Catherine was


    poisoned with a neurotoxin, but I’ve never seen it before. It will take some time to detoxify her.”


    This response was undoubtedly uneptable to Branden. His brooding face went darker, and the


    surrounding atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. The people present were so frightened that no


    one dared to take a deep breath.


    Marshall, who had just arrived, overheard Connie’s words and quickly spoke up. “Neurotoxin? Should


    we ask Professor Lynch for help? Many of his research projects are rted to neurotoxins.”


    Connie was sure that Marshall wouldn’t harm Catherine, so she said, ” Perhaps it’s worth a try.”


    Branden nced at Paxton, who immediately received the signal. “Boss, I’ll bring Professor Lynch here


    right away.”
