Chapter 762 The Weapons


    “Paxton’s move isn’t cutting it. If he goes up just an inch more, that guy’s done for.” Zobber stood aside


    andmented with a smile.


    Withal chimed in, “Makes sense. Look at that guy. His footing’s all off. Paxton’s targeting is slightly off.”


    As they fervently discussed, Paxton was entangled in a scuffle with a dozen burly figures dressed in


    ck. Despite Paxton’s formidable strength, he struggled against their relentless rotation, all the while


    trying to listen to his friends’ banter.


    After delivering a swift kick to a charging figure in ck, Paxton finally found a moment. He turned back


    toward Zobber and the others. Then he yelled in frustration, “Are you guys so capable? Why don’t you


    join in?”


    Zobber shrugged casually and replied, We’re not cut out for this physical stuff. That’s all you.”


    Paxton, who was exasperated, had no way with Zobber. Now, he couldn’t spare a moment to deal with


    her either. While they argued with each other, he continued grappling with the figures in ck.


    Zobber, who had been observing for a while, suddenly acted. With a swift step, she charged forward,


    kicked one of the ck-d men, and sent him flying. She looked coldly at the fallen man with a killing


    intent. “Come at me face to face. Dare to sneak? I’ll finish you off.”


    The ck-d man had tried to ambush Paxton while he was distracted chatting with them earlier. As


    Paxton found himself overwhelmed from multiple sides, Zobber caught sight of it.


    As much as she enjoyed spectating, Zobber wouldn’t stand for troublemaking. Her fiery temper red,


    especially with such underhanded tactics.


    Paxton nced at the fallen ck-d man and managed a thumbs-up toward Zobber in between.


    Zobber shot him a haughty nce and waved her hand to signal him to carry on with his solo act.


    Midway through, for some reason, all the ck-d men suddenly retreated. Sensing trouble, Paxton


    immediately withdrew toward Branden’s side.


    A strange sound echoed, and everyone’s expressions turned serious. They all knew the sudden retreat


    of the ck-d men signified something significant. Sure enough, the next moment, they understood.


    After being absent for a while, Jotham drove slowly toward them in arge pickup truck with two


    massive weapons positioned by his side. Within such close range, the armaments he brought were


    more than enough to overpower everyone present.


    Faced with such overwhelming armaments, even the toughest fighters stood powerless. No wonder the


    ck- d men were pulled out. They were preparing for a major offensive.


    The faces of those present grew increasingly grim. They realized that the real crisis was underway.


    Ronin and the others immediately stood in front of Catherine. “Catherine, you go aheadter. We’ve got


    this covered.”


    Catherine nced at them with a faint smile.


    She thought inwardly, “With heavy weaponry aimed their way, how can they possibly fend it off? Use


    their bodies as shields? Abandoning my teammates isn’t something I can bring myself to do.”


    Regan’s face turned pale as she saw the weapons Jotham brought out. She dropped her usual


    demeanor and shouted loudly toward Jotham. She hoped he’d heed her words. Regan didn’t intend to


    leave or betray Jotham. It had been years since she’d seen her son. Branden risked his life to find her


    and wanted just a glimpse to confirm she was alive. Regan thought it was not wrong.


    But Jotham was entirely deaf to her pleas. Right now, he only wanted to wipe out every member of the


    Duncans present. The fire burning within him for over a decade finally had a chance to vent. He


    couldn’t miss such an opportunity.


    “Regan, if you listen to me, stand by my side. I promise to release a group of people!” He pointed


    toward Zobber and the others as he said, “I have no grudge against you all. Since the leader agrees for


    you to leave, as long as you don’t meddle, leave quietly. I won’t take your lives.”


    Facing Jotham’s terms for safe passage, Zobber and the others were indifferent. They had been


    following Catherine for years, and as long as she stayed, they’d follow her, even to hell.


    Their indifference thoroughly infuriated Jotham. He knew just how despicable human nature could be.


    Today, in front of everyone, he was determined to reveal their hypocritical faces.


    With Jotham’s gesture, his men loaded their weapons and aimed at Branden and the others.


    Catherine turned to nce at Branden nearby, and Branden instantly understood Catherine’s intention.


    Just as Jotham was about to give the final order, Branden and Catherine simultaneously acted.


    Witnessing this, the crowd erupted in cheers. Zobber eximed in amazement, “It’s rare to see


    Catherine make a move, but I never expected her and Mr. Duncan to act together! This scene is unreal!


    Who do you think is tougher, Catherine or Mr. Duncan?”


    Ronin, being Catherine’s biggest fan, was the first to step up. “There is no doubt that it’s Catherine. Mr.


    Duncan is always under her thumb. That’s solid evidence.”


    Hearing Ronin’s words, Paxton felt extremely aggrieved. Ronin was mocking him just a while ago while


    Paxton was fighting. Holding back his frustration, Paxton immediately retorted, “No matter how tough


    Catherine is, she’s still under Mr. Duncan!”


    His words silenced the crowd. Ronin’s face turned crimson. He couldn’t find a rebuttal for a moment.


    The others silently gave Paxton a thumbs-up. They thought Paxton didn’t treat them as outsiders and


    dared to say anything.


    Paxton decided to stop there. After all, he had witnessed Catherine’s might and was afraid of her


    prowess.

    On the other side, Branden and Catherine joined forces. They were both formidable powerhouses with


    astounding speed. The team of dozens stood no chance against them.


    Branden took the lead while Catherineunched surprise attacks. In the blink of an eye, they reached


    Jotham. It was too close for therge weapons to aim properly.


    The ck-d men struggled to create distance, but under the overwhelming force of Branden and


    Catherine, they couldn’t withstand their advance.


    As they got increasingly close, Jotham witnessed the astonishing power of Branden and Catherine, and


    his anger peaked. He didn’t expect an exceptional talent from the Duncans. Unable to handle the two,


    he decided to target their friends first.


    Jotham stepped in front of the weapons and aimed directly at Zobber and the others. He prepared to


    wipe them out. Using their lives as leverage, he aimed to inflict pain on Branden and Catherine.
