Chapter 735 Fergus’ Conspiracy
Catherine reached for the information Zobber handed her. She went through the information of the
members of the Altonian Team.
She had to admit that there was indeed something great about the Altonian Team for them to be able to
stand on the championship stage for so many years. Their team members were all the top yers in
this field at the moment.
Catherineughed softly when she turned to thest page of the lead mentors.
She threw the information at Branden, signaling him to take a look.
Atticus, the former doctoral mentor of Ellinos Academy, was now serving as the Altonian Team’s lead
mentor.
Branden did not look surprised when he saw the information.
He took out his cell phone and handed it to Catherine.
A video was ying on the phone screen. The main character in the video was none other than their
old friend, Atticus.
Catherine gave Branden a suspicious look. “You already knew it?”
Branden raised his eyebrows lightly at Catherine, and a hint of amusement showed in his eyes. “Yes, I
knew that a little earlier than you!”
Zobber stood at the side. Seeing Catherine and Branden eyeballing each other, she could not help but
ask, ” What are you doing? What’s the good news? Share with us!”
“Nothing!” Branden and Catherine almost spoke in unison.
Seeing that the two were so taciturn, Zobber couldn’t help but grunt coldly, ” Having a partner is so
great!”
Branden, who had always been a man of few words, took the initiative to respond to Zobber. As a
result, his words were still full of unt. “It’s indeed great. Don’t you think so?”
Zobber was shocked. She didn’t expect the high and mighty Branden actually to have such a side.
She thought to herself somewhat helplessly, “I have no partner, but you can’t hurt me like this, can
you?”
Branden and Catherine were both big shots. Zobber couldn’t afford to offend them, so she could only
endure! “Yes, I think so. You guys continue showing off!”
Catherine had initially nned to have Ronin and the others keep an eye on Atticus. But from the
expression on Branden’s face, she could tell that Branden should have arranged for someone to do
that. This way, she wouldn’t have to make any more arrangements.
Branden saw Catherine’s weariness and directly ordered everyone out of the ward to let Catherine rest
in peace.
Facing the deep darkness of the night, Marshall knocked on the door of Fergus ‘room.

Fergus was a little surprised to see him arrive. He froze for a moment before an awkward smile
appeared on his face. ” Marshall, it’s sote. What brings you here? Could it be that you couldn’t sleep
from the excitement of your team advancing and came to find me for a drink?”
Marshall looked at him with a frown on his face. “Come on. Stop saying those words. I’m all worried to
death. Let’s have a chat. You help me analyze it!”
“Come in!” Fergus sidestepped and let Marshall into the room.
When Marshall sat down, Fergus poured Marshall a cup of coffee.
Then he took the initiative to ask, ” What’s the situation? Why are you still looking so glum? Didn’t your
team just advance? Why don’t you look happy with such great news?”
“Do you want to be the champion?” Marshall looked at Fergus with a serious face.
Fergus was confused by his pressing look and sudden question. He cautiously sized Marshall up as
various thoughts shed through his mind.
He didn’t understand why Marshall was suddenly asking this question. He thought to himself, “Is he
onto something? Or is it…”
After a few moments of silence, Fergus finally calmed down. He smiled awkwardly, with envy in his
words. ” Who wouldn’t want to win the championship? It’s just that I don’t have the chance now.”
Marshall didn’t seem to see Fergus’s embarrassment. He pped his hand and nodded in agreement.
He said, “That’s right. Even people like you who don’t likepetition want to win championships, not
to mention me. Fergus, I won’t hide anything from you since we’ve been colleagues for so many years.
You want to win the championship, and so do I. This isn’t just apetition but also a scientific one.
This is not an ordinarypetition, but the Bide Cup, the pinnacle of scientific research! If I could win
the championship, that would be great!”
Marshall’s vehement reaction was a secret relief to Fergus’ insides.
He had been specting whether Marshall had found something, but now it seemed he had made the
right bet. “Didn’t your team advance? You’re going to be involved in the championship fight next. What
are you still worried about?”
“We both know how strong the Altonian Team is. Now that Catherine is sick, how can I not worry?”
Marshall sighed deeply and had a worried look on his face.
“Don’t you still have Marlon? I’ve heard that this normally unimpressive kid on your team is as talented
as Catherine,” Fergus said.
Although Fergus didn’t have the chance to go to the match that day, he had heard a lottely about this
new character on Marshall’s team.
He thought that Marshall was really lucky. Marshall’s team just got Catherine, and then the talented
young man Marlon also joined.
Hearing Fergus mention Marlon, the expression on Marshall’s face grew more and more solemn. “He
isn’t that good. He’s not even close to Catherine. If Catherine can attend, perhaps our team can
compete with the Altonian Team, but if it’s Marlon, we will definitely lose.”
Watching Marshall’s extremely distressed expression, Fergus had a sudden idea. “Marshall…”
Fergus’s hesitant demeanor made Marshall anxious. “Fergus, we’ve been colleagues for so many
years. If you have something to say, just say it. Or if you have any difficulties, say it too. I’ll definitely
help you.”
Fergus felt a surge of self-satisfaction in his heart. His opportunity had finallye.
But he remained calm on his face and told Marshall, “Marshall, it’s not that I have difficulties. It’s that I
want to help you!”
Marshall asked suspiciously, “Help me?
“Uh-huh!” Fergus nodded, then spoke his mind out. “I have a way to make Catherine attend. Would you
like to try it?”
As soon as he said this, Marshall immediately looked at him with a shocked expression on his face.
“You have a way? You’ve developed the antidote?”
“Sort of!” Fergus replied.
“What do you mean sort of?” Marshall instantly became anxious when he heard the ambiguous answer.
He looked at Fergus with excitement on his face.
Fergus signaled him to take it easy and then exined the situation to him clearly. “I have developed
this antidote, but ites with a little side effect.”
Seeing that Marshall was about to get anxious again, Fergus took the lead and said, “Don’t worry. The
side effect is minimal. It has no side effects other than making Catherine sleep a few more days after
the match. I didn’t dare to give it to Catherine, and I think you know the reason… Catherine has Mr.
Duncan with her, and Mr. Duncan won’t let Catherine take that risk. You are Catherine’s mentor. You
should know how important it would be for Catherine if she could win this time and how brilliant her
future would be after that!”
Looking at Marshall, who was deep in thought after hearing his words, Fergus understood that Marshall
was in favor of his proposal. He urged, ” Marshall, it’s not toote!”
Marshall stared at Fergus and reconfirmed, “Does its side effect really just make her sleep for a few
more days?
“I’ll bet my life on it!” On the surface, Fergus replied decisively, but on the inside, he was filled with joy.
He could guarantee Marshall would take the bait.
Not to mention Marshall, even if it were him, he wouldn’t hesitate to choose such a good opportunity in
front of him. After all, it was human nature to chase after fame and fortune.
“Marshall, if you really don’t feel okay to make Catherine suffer the little side effect, why don’t you
whisper this news to Catherine and let her make her own decision? But you must ask Catherine to
keep it a secret and not tell anyone!”
“Okay!” Marshall agreed. “I’ll ask Catherine and then give you an answer.
