Chapter 975 Danger Is Coming

The chaos enveloped the entire venue, leaving everyone clueless about the unfolding events.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Onstage, amidst the confusion, Paxton noticed Branden was out cold and didn't waste a moment to call for medical help. "Let's get him to the hospital, now," he ordered.

Meanwhile, the Duncan Corporation's PR team swiftly took over the situation, ensuring order amidst the chaos. Zobber, in her haste to escape, kept dialing Black Robe, anxiety lacing her voice. 'Did it work? Is Branden dead?" Black Robe responded at a leisurely pace, "Seems like you're quite concerned about whether Branden lives or dies.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zobber snapped back, her patience wom thin. "I'm the one who did it, in front of everyone. If Branden survives, what is left for me?"

'No one is more concerned about his fate than I am right now,' she fumed, her anger not drawing any rebuke from Black Robe, who found her frustration more genuine and fitting to her character.

Easing his tone, Black Robe informed, "Calm down. We don't have the full picture from the Duncans yet. Paxton has pulled in the best doctors from Loxton and is searching everywhere for Thomas. It's not easy getting information from the Duncans now. I've got a place you can hide out for a bit. I'll keep you updated."

Left with no other option, Zobber reluctantly agreed, "Alright, send me the address. I'm on my way."

At the warehouse, Catherine and Scott were battling fiercely, taking down many opponents.

Despite their injuries, with Scott's being more serious, they remained undeterred.

Scott was determined, thinking, "Even if it ends for me today, I have to ensure Catherine gets out safely.

Catherine, once an unstoppable force, now grappled with fear, not for herself, but for the sake of protecting her child and her companions, Thomas and Scott.

Selene, watching Catherine struggle, was running out of patience, eager to see Catherine in despair. She ordered her henchmen through the walkie-talkie. "Attack Thomas now, finish him off."  Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

She wanted Catherine to witness the people who loved and protected her disappear right before her eyes, aiming to strike at her heart.

Thomas, positioned above the chaos, remained untouched.

Yet, when the attackers unexpectedly targeted him, neither Scott nor Catherine could reach Thomas in time.

Just when danger seemed imminent, the attackers who had reached Thomas suddenly stiffened and collapsed to the ground, lifeless as corpses.

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone.

Thomas, with a cold smirk, mocked them, "Thought you could mess with me? I was navigating the underworld before you were even born."

No one had expected Thomas, though not known for his physical prowess, to be such a formidable master in his own right. As a legendary healer, his knowledge extended beyond saving lives; he was also an expert in the lethal use of poisons.

Scott, seizing the moment, flashed a thumbs-up to Thomas. "Looking sharp, grandpa."

Thomas, full of pride, responded, "Never mind me. Take care of Cassie."

Selene, witnessing this scene, was fuming with rage. Time was running out, and she was desperate to see

Catherine in utter despair.

Her assistant, cautiously reminding her, said, 'Miss Selene, we only have ten minutes left. We should act now."

'Do you think you're in charge?" Selene snapped back, intimidating the assistant into submission.

'Miss Selene, you misunderstand me," the assistant hurriedly replied, bowing his head in fear.

Despite knowing time was against her, Selene couldn't help but admire Catherine's resilience, fighting fiercely even while heavily pregnant.

It was a determination Selene could relate to, having fought her way up from the bottom herself.

With a dark expression and a gaze filled with murderous intent, Selene ordered, 'Prepare for retreat. Release the poison gas in five minutes."

"Understood, Miss Selene." the assistant responded before quickly leaving.

Selene, weapon in hand, stepped out of the secret room and onto a high platform.

Looking down at Catherine still fighting valiantly, she murmured, "Farewell, Catherine," before aiming her weapon at her.

The trigger was pulled with a loud bang.

'Cassie, danger!" Thomas shouted from above, having heard the threat a moment earlier.

Catherine had already sensed something was off and skillfully dodged the incoming attack.

Selene was shocked, never having seen someone evade her attack like that. 'Is Catherine even human? she wondered, astounded.

After regaining her composure, Selene saw Catherine's defiant gaze and mocking expression as if laughing at Selene's incompetence.

Furious, Selene clenched her fist and slammed it against the wall, swearing, "Bitch, you'll meet your end soon enough."

Catherine found Selene's attempts foolish. Already on high alert from the first failed attempt, she easily dodged the subsequent shots.

Enraged, Selene fired repeatedly, but Catherine's agility allowed her to dodge while fighting off her attackers, appearing almost supernatural.

The assistant, witnessing Selene's frustration, sweated profusely, understanding her desire to finish off Catherine but also knowing the importance of time.

"Miss Selene, the timing is off," he mentioned.

Selene, picking up the walkie-talkie, commanded, "Everyone, retreat."

She had arranged for a group of bodyguards ready to sacrifice their lives to block Catherine and her team's escape, ensuring they had no way out.

With a cold stare, Selene thought bitterly, 'Catherine, you're getting off easy with such a swift death.
