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 and commented 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 black. 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 black, 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 black.

Zobber, who had been observing for a while, suddenly acted. With a swift step, she charged forward, kicked one of the black-clad 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 black-clad 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 flared, especially with such underhanded tactics.

Paxton glanced at the fallen black-clad man and managed a thumbs-up toward Zobber in between. Zobber shot him a haughty glance and waved her hand to signal him to carry on with his solo act.

Midway through, for some reason, all the black-clad 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 black-clad men signified something significant. Sure enough, the next moment, they understood.

After being absent for a while, Jotham drove slowly toward them in a large 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 black- clad 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 ahead later. We’ve got this covered.”

Catherine glanced 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. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Catherine turned to glance 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 exclaimed 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 Catherine launched surprise attacks. In the blink of an eye, they reached Jotham. It was too close for the large weapons to aim properly.

The black-clad 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.
