Chapter 390 Dire Consequences

Catherine left the research base with Branden on the second day. Paxton accompanied them while the other two stayed behind temporarily to complete their tasks.

After arriving at the airport with Branden, Catherine was about to board the plane when she suddenly heard her phone ringing from her pocket. At the same time, Paxton also received a phone call.

As Catherine was about to put down the phone and speak to Branden, he directly took her hand and led her in the direction of the exit of the airport.

“I’ll accompany you back to the base!”

It turned out that he had also received the news, which was expected since Carlo and Cory were still at the research base. The news of Randolph’s disappearance should reach their ears soon.

Branden was the first to know this piece of news. They quickly returned to the base. As soon as they entered, they saw Carlo and Cory questioning the research staff inside the base about the situation.

Sensing the arrival of Branden and the others, Carlo and Cory immediately approached them. They glanced casually in Catherine’s direction.

Catherine understood what they meant and asked indifferently, “Do you need me to stay away?”

“No need!” Branden suddenly said and warned Carlo and Cory with his eyes. Startled, the two didn’t hesitate and quickly reported the situation.

“Sir, after you and Miss Swann left this morning, we also planned to leave. But when we reached the base, we noticed several unfamiliar vehicles in the vicinity. Cory was worried that something was wrong, so we returned to the base to investigate. As a result, the research staff here told us that Dr. Dunn didn’t appear in the experimental fields this morning. Currently, there’s no trace of Dr. Dunn!”

Paxton proposed a possibility. “Could it be that Dr. Dunn is still in the research base? After all, the base is so big. He might be hiding somewhere in one of the fields doing research!”

They often encountered this situation, where some scientific researchers would immerse themselves in their work, neglecting sleep and food.

However, Catherine quickly denied this speculation.

“It’s impossible. Dr. Dunn must be in trouble!”

Hearing Catherine’s firm tone, everyone’s gaze fell on her.

Catherine explained, “The seeds in Field NO.1 on the west side have ripened in the past few days. Dr. Dunn’s year-long research results will come out in these few days, and he would never leave this field at such a critical moment.”

Randolph would rather sleep in the fields 24 hours a day, fearing that something might happen to his experimental results. How could he disappear at such a crucial moment?

There was only one possibility, which was that he was forcefully taken away.

A few minutes later, Cory returned with an extremely grim expression. He faced everyone and said, “The surveillance of the main passages in the base has been completely disabled. The other party is skilled.”

Cory and Carlo both lowered their heads silently, waiting to be reprimanded. They had made a mistake in their initial assumption. They had thought that the other party was targeting Dr. Seven and would do whatever it took to find his whereabouts. So they had joined in the search for Dr. Seven, hoping to find him first and ensure his safety.

But the other party had unexpectedly focused their attention on Randolph, seizing the opportunity when they left to abduct him. Randolph was the only person who knew Dr. Seven’s whereabouts, so capturing him meant having the most direct clue to Dr. Seven. The other party seemed to have a better understanding of the situation on the base than they had imagined.

This was not only a major blow to the base but also a great humiliation. Those who only knew how to make mistakes without offering solutions had no place in the Duncans. After admitting their mistake, Cory and Carlo immediately proposed a solution.

“Sir, please give us two days.”

Branden snorted coldly and waved his hand.

Cory knew that this meant their request had been accepted. He quickly turned around, pulling Carlo to stand up. They had to act quickly. If they didn’t complete the mission properly this time, they might be kicked out of the Duncans.

While the Duncans were taking action, Catherine showed no intention of stopping. She would solve this problem in her own way.

Initially, she had no intention of making enemies with the other party, but now that they had provoked her, it would make her look like an easy target if she didn’t take action. Anyone who dared to harm her would face dire consequences.

Catherine took out her phone, walked to the side, and made a call. Paxton stood beside Branden and watched Catherine walk away. He whispered to Branden, “Sir, I noticed that Miss Swann doesn’t look pleased. What do you think?” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her expression was more than just displeased; it was downright ominous. At the moment, she was even more terrifying than when Branden got angry. Paxton even felt a sense of suffocation.

Branden silently watched Catherine’s retreating figure as she made a phone call, his deep eyes gradually darkening.

He would teach them a lesson if someone wanted to cause trouble.

“Send out the list of agents from Asmein involved in international activities!”

Paxton was stunned upon hearing Branden’s command. The Duncans had an entire intelligence network, which was well-known internationally. Therefore, they possessed a lot of classified information, which not only served as their greatest bargaining chip but also a weapon to control others.

Now, Branden had ordered the release of the list of Asmein agents, intending to deal a fatal blow to Asmein.

Paxton now understood the meaning of the phrase “a wrathful man for the sake of a woman.” It was indeed ruthless.

In a corner, after the call was connected, Catherine immediately identified herself.

“Withal, it’s me!”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Withal instinctively straightened his posture. ” Yes, Catherine. Please give your orders!

Since Catherine suddenly called him, it must be something important. Withal immediately stopped what he was doing and waited for Catherine’s instructions.

After sending some information to Withal’s phone, Catherine continued, Help me investigate this person and find him as quickly as possible. Ensure his safety. The other party might be an Asmein spy infiltrating our base. Be cautious!”

Withal was currently in Oceanvile, where Randolph had disappeared. Catherine knew that contacting Withal was the quickest and most efficient way to find Randolph.

“Understood, Catherine. I’ll do my best!

Though Withal didn’t know why Catherine suddenly clashed with someone from Asmein, he knew that he had to follow any task she had assigned.

Lastly, Catherine gave a shocking command that completely stunned Withal. “Mobilize all our forces and spare no expense to ensure Randolph’s safety!”

Withal paused momentarily, realizing that Randolph was not just an ordinary scientist. This matter was far from simple.

“Don’t worry, Catherine. I guarantee you the completion of the mission!”
