Chapter 753 Surprise
After discussing, they decided that they would go to Alton together.
They had juste out of the vi, and the door behind them hadn’t even closed when several ck
cars suddenly surged and rushed in front of them.
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed. The few people’s faces darkened, and their eyes
became much more sharp in an instant.
Soon afterward, they quickly reacted and took on a defensive stance, ready for battle at any moment.
The front passenger door of the lead vehicle was opened, and Paxton quickly got out of the car,
approaching the group of people.
Upon seeing the visitor was Paxton, they inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it might have been
the enemiesing to their door.
Ronin nced at Zobber, and Zobber took the initiative to step forward, raising her eyebrows and
appraising Paxton. “What’s the meaning of this? Are you ready to spar with us?”
Paxton gave a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Please don’t misunderstand. We are all
on the same side. Mr. Branden Duncan has some questions he would like to understand.”
Everyone was well aware, whether it was to understand the issue or a subtle maniption.
By taking such a stance, Branden didn’t intend to let them leave.
Zobber had no intention of resisting. This was Loxton, the power base of the Duncans. Even if they
resisted, it would be futile, not to mention that Branden would noty a hand on them.
Zobber followed Paxton to see Branden. Branden’s face was extremely grim, emitting a terrifying aura.
Even Zobber, who was never afraid of anything, couldn’t help but feel a palpitation.
Branden sat in the armchair, his long arms hanging over the armrest, fingers fidgeting with a lighter.
He was a man who usually didn’t show his emotions on his face. However, anyone could see his
impatience at a nce right now.
Zobber originally nned to negotiate a bit, but unexpectedly, Branden didn’t give them the opportunity
at all. He even directly challenged. “You tell me, or should I make the move?”
With his posture set up, even Zobber must concede. “Mr. Duncan, it’s not a matter of whether we want
to say it or not, but rather that we also don’t know the situation. We are nning to do some thorough
investigation to see if we can find any information.”
Zobber gave in, and Ronin followed closely behind. “Yes, even I wasn’t informed by Catherine this time.
It’s truly outrageous.”
After repeated questioning, Zobber and her team spent a lot of effort convincing Branden that they
were not lying.
They were also anxious, as they really didn’t know where Catherine had gone.
After a lot of searching, there was no clue at all. Everyone found that the atmosphere in the room
instantly dropped to a freezing point, making them shiver from the cold.
The silent Withal finally couldn’t help but stand up and say, “Mr. Duncan, there is something I would like
to ask you.”
Ronin had been with Withal for many years and instantly guessed what Withal was thinking. He wanted
to stop Withal but was instantly pinned down by Paxton.
Withal turned his head and smiled at Ronin. “We’re all family. After all, the truth will ultimatelye to
light.”
Ronin was unwaveringly loyal to Catherine, and in his world, there was no right or wrong in her
decisions.
He would unconditionally obey anything Catherine did.
Paxton’s threat didn’t scare Ronin, but he didn’t attempt to stop Ronin again because he felt that
Withal’s words were not wrong.
Withal had been by Catherine’s side the longest, and Branden’s feelings toward Catherine were clear
to him.
Withal used to think that there was no man in this world who could match up to Catherine until the
appearance of Branden made him change his mind. ” Mr. Duncan, what is the task for which you have
ced an exorbitant order with the Hacker Alliance?”
Branden understood that Withal would not have said this without reason. He did not conceal it and
directly told everyone the purpose of finding the Hacker Alliance. “Find someone in Florona.”
“Florona!” eximed Ronin.
He hadn’t forgotten the high price they paid when Catherine came out of Florona.
Paxton was a bit puzzled about Ronin’s surprise. “Why are you all so surprised?
Ronin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Paxton and said, “You specifically requested the chief of
the Hacker Alliance to take the job. Do you even know who the chief of the Hacker Alliance is?”
Hearing Ronin’s angry tone, Paxton felt a sudden sense of unease. “Could it be Miss Swann?”
The silence of the crowd spoke volumes. Paxton felt as though his heart was about to stop beating.
‘Who would have thought that Miss Swann is actually the chief of the Hacker Alliance? I sincerely feel
like kneeling for her. How many identities does Catherine have that we don’t know about? She is truly
powerful.’
After hearing the news, Branden stood up immediately.
Upon seeing Branden leave, Paxton hurriedly caught up with him.
Ronin turned to look at the others and asked, “They left. What should we do?”
“What else can we do? Let’s go together!” Withal said, then chased after the others.
Half an hourter, everyone boarded Branden’s private ne.
Branden was aware of Catherine’s association with the Hacker Alliance, but he did not expect her to be
the chief of the Hacker Alliance.
If he knew, under no circumstances would he allow Catherine to take this risk. At this moment, he really
wished to grab that disobedient girl and bring her back to educate her in bed properly.
Zobber saw that the atmosphere inside the airne was too gloomy, so she decided to find some
topics to lighten the mood. “Mr. Duncan, we are not aware of Florona’s specific coordinates. Only
Catherine knows that. However, from what we understand, one must first make a trip to Snake Ind in
order to reach Florona.”
Originally, Catherine asked Connie to develop serums and snake repellent in order to survive on Snake
Ind. They only then realized that they needed to pass through Snake Ind to get to Florona.
Branden nced at Paxton, and Paxton immediately responded, “Sir, I will make the arrangements.”
On Snake Ind, Wantel held apressed biscuit, nibbling on it while observing the surrounding
restless, poisonous snakes.
He felt that these venomous snakes were bing increasingly drawn to him, with several even
lingering in one ce for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike. This made him feel
extremely uneasy for a while.
Perhaps he was too nervous, to the point of even experiencing hallucinations, as he actually heard the
roar of an airne.
“This sound is too real!” Wantel couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

The sound continued to grow louder as if the distance was getting closer and closer.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong. “Could there really be someoneing to the ind?”
he wondered.
After putting on the protective clothing and taking the snake-repelling stick, Wantel prepared to go out
and take a look.
Following the direction of the sound, he actually saw a helicopter.
The situation was unclear. Wantel dared not make any moves. He was hiding in the bushes, waiting for
the right moment.
The nended steadily, and the cabin door was also opened by some burly men who then came
down from the ne.
Wantel didn’t know how this group came to Snake Ind or their purpose foring here. He dared
not act rashly.
Just as he was full of doubt, he suddenly saw a few familiar figures, which almost made him exim in
surprise. ‘
How did theye?’
Without hesitation, Wantel rushed out immediately when he saw his good friends.
He greeted them with a look of surprise on his face and eximed, “Oh my, howe you guys are
here?”
Unexpectedly, what he got in return was a beating, causing him to scream in pain.
