All Her Secrets

Chapter 914 Join Us

Finn drove Zobber to a mysterious location, with Zobber blindfolded the entire time. After reaching the destination, he removed the blindfold from her eyes. The dim light made it difficult for her to see, but her excellent hearing allowed her to discem some things in the surroundings.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

They were now inside a shipping container in a fast-moving large truck, with the sound of honking and faint signals when passing through tunnels. Despite the good sound insulation of the container, Zobber's trained hearing allowed her to distinguish these sounds.

Zobber was surprised by the cunning of the group of people. Meeting inside the container not only made tracking and locating difficult but also made it hard to leave useful clues.

Zobber forced herself to calm down and turned her icy gaze toward Finn. "Hey, wasn't your boss supposed to meet me? Where is he? Could it be that he's a coward and doesn't dare to show himself?"

Zobber's brazen laughter made Finn scowl. If he hadn't been instructed otherwise, he would have wanted to attack Zobber.

Just as Finn was about to confront Zobber, the lights in front suddenly turned on. Zobber quickly tumed around and saw a tall figure in a black robe standing ahead. The figure wore a mask, with only two visible pupils.

Zobber couldn't discern the figure's appearance or gender. With a sidelong glance at Finn, she said, "So this is your boss, huh?"

Finn nodded respectfully and wamed Zobber to be polite to his boss, or else he would take action. Zobber, however, coldly snorted in response, expressing confidence that Finn was no match for her.

Finn was so angry that his face turned red. Just as the two were about to clash, Black Robe slowly spoke up. Zobber, the head of the Hacker Alliance's Zobers, indeed quite impressive," he said in a casual tone, capturing Zobber's attention.

Zobber squinted and scrutinized the man. "It seems you know quite a bit about me. Why don't you introduce yourself? Who are you?'

"Humph." Black Robe sneered. "You're just like her"

Perplexed, Zobber asked, "What do you mean? Who?'

Black Robe seemed indifferent to Zobber's anger and calmly replied to her question. The things you just said, Catherine also said them."

At the mention of Catherine, Zobber's face immediately turned cold, and she angrily shouted at Black Robe, "Stop mentioning Catherine to me. I'm sick of her!" "You've always been loyal to Catherine, haven't you?" the man asked.

Zobber looked at him coldly and said, "You know better than I do. She is being fooled around, thinking that Ronin is the same as before. Why would I admire someone with no discernment like that?"

Black Robe was pleased with Zobber's attitude, feeling that he had achieved his goal. However, being naturally suspicious, he needed to continue probing. 'Since you hate Catherine so much, why not join us? I guarantee you the highest treatment, fairness, and unique rewards."

"Get lost!" Zobber snapped back without hesitation. Her arrogant attitude didn't seem to anger Black Robe.

"Since you're so insistent, I won't force it," Black Robe said, gesturing for Finn to release Zobber.

Finn, although puzzled, dared not disobey the orders and let Zobber leave.

Black Robe watched her departure with a cold smirk, confident that he would get what he wanted. He didn't believe for a moment that Zobber would join their organization, and her resistance only reassured him because he had ways to make her join them.

Not long after leaving the container, Zobber met Withal.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Zobber shrugged and replied, "I'm perfectly fine."

Seeing her dismissive attitude, Withal quickly softened his tone, saying, "I was just concerned for her safety."

Zobber, however, remained nonchalant, saying, "They may be strong, but I'm no pushover. Nothing will happen. Let's just wait and see what happens!"

Shortly after arriving at the lab, Catherine received a call from Rodge.

"Chief, I'm sending you some data. I'm not sure if it's what you asked me to look into, but I think you should see it," he said.

After hanging up, she received the files from Milton. It contained research data from Branden's laboratory, revealing that their seventh-generation chip had not been successfully developed and was at risk of catastrophic failure during the final stage.

Branden intentionally held a press conference last time to divert attention to himself and alleviate pressure on her side.

Catherine made a decision upon seeing this. 'Rodge, I need you to do something for me!"

Catherine decided to have lunch alone in the cafeteria today because Ronin wasn't around. To avoid too many people there, she went at a particularly late time. The shady path was nearly deserted as she walked with her head down.

Suddenly, a figure blocked her path. Catherine slowly raised her head, her cold eyes sizing up the unremarkable-looking man ahead, who seemed to be a student at Styre University based on his attire.

Perhaps intimidated by Catherine's intimidating presence and gaze, the man hesitated and subconsciously took a step back.

Only after Catherine's reminder did the man remember his purpose. "Miss Swann, Mr. Cloude asked me to tell you that since it's a collaboration, he wants to see some commitment from you. They hope you take action quickly!"

Catherine scoffed and maintained her aloof expression. "Tell him to wait. Since I've agreed to collaborate, I'll satisfy him. If he's impatient, tell him to find someone else!"

With an arrogant attitude, Catherine walked straight ahead without giving him a second thought.

The man, overwhelmed by her intimidating aura, silently stepped aside and watched Catherine leave.
