Chapter 356 A Person with Extraordinary Skills
Ronin Oconnor was taken aback momentarily as he looked up and only realized when he saw Branden Duncan ahead.
“Why is this guy following us everywhere? Isn’t it annoying?” Ronin muttered. Bryan gave him a disdainful glance, his face full of disdain. “Kid, are you feeling too safe? Speaking ill of my uncle like that?”
“I’m not afraid of him!” Ronin protested.
“Hmph!” Bryan coldly snorted, his tone dripping with disdain. “Sure, you’re not afraid.”
Ronin felt a bit embarrassed. He had wanted to argue back but realized that he was indeed no match for Branden, so he kept silent. However, he was still somewhat unwilling. He approached Catherine and tried to be ingratiating.”
Catherine, we rarely come to Oceanvile, and we won the competition. Can’t we celebrate together tonight? It’s been a while since I had a meal with you.”
Catherine had been staying in her apartment lately and enjoying the meals Branden had personally cooked for her. Thus, it had indeed been a while since she had eaten out.
“Wait!”
Catherine tossed out these words to Ronin before walking over to Branden. She wasn’t surprised at the sudden appearance of the man in Oceanvile.
She raised her gaze, and her initially cold eyes softened as they landed on the man. “Is the work taken care of?” asked Catherine.

The man looked at Catherine tenderly, raising an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile in the corners of his eyes, and nodded.
“What’s next?” asked Branden. The man handed over the decision to Catherine, letting her make arrangements.
“The competition is over. Ronin and the others want to have a meal together,” Catherine replied casually. Branden reached out and gently stroked her hair as his face filled with indulgence. “Alright, I’ll arrange it,” said Branden.
“Okay,” Catherine replied, feeling at ease leaving everything to him. Since the man said he would arrange it, it would surely be well organized, and she didn’t need to think about it any further.
After getting into the car with Branden, Paxton, who was in the driver’s seat, immediately reported the situation.
“Mr. Duncan, the private room is ready. It’s at Meadow Restaurant, and I’ve sent the location to you,” said Paxton. Bryan and Ronin rode together in one car, and he would take Ronin there.
Half an hour later, Branden’s car stopped in front of Meadow Restaurant, the most famous private kitchen restaurant in Oceanvile.
The restaurant was renowned, and seat reservations were already booked until next year. However, the owner had prepared a special private room not open to regular guests, only used for important occasions when distinguished guests were present.
It was last used when a neighboring country’s dignitary visited Oceanvile. Local officials had arranged for it to give the dignitary a taste of Oceanvile’s specialty dishes.
After getting out of the car, Catherine, Bryan, and Ronin followed Branden. Ronin was in high spirits. Although he hadn’t arranged the location, he was pleased as long as he could celebrate with Catherine.
The private rooms were different from the regular dining area. They were on the third floor and required a separate elevator to access.

The owner of Meadow Restaurant had been waiting at the entrance and rushed forward to greet them when he saw Branden bringing Catherine.
“Mr. Duncan, it’s been a long time. Welcome to Meadow Restaurant.”
“Mr. Duncan, Mr. Lambert, and Mr. Lane have also come to Oceanvile. They are waiting for you in the private room!
Branden nodded indifferently without showing any particular reactions. Catherin guessed that Mr. Lambert and Mr. Lane, mentioned by the owner, were probably Triston Lambert and Aidan Lane. Besides these two, no one else could know Branden’s whereabouts.
As expected, even before entering the private room, they heard the arguing between Triston and Aidan.
These two were natural enemies, constantly arguing when they met as if they were uncomfortable if they didn’t exchange a few words.
The owner of Meadow Restaurant personally led them to the private room’s entrance before respectfully leaving. “Mr. Duncan, please. A service bell in the room connects directly to my office. If you need anything, please feel free to request it!”
Inside the private room, there were service bells provided for different clients. For those regular customers, they could only summon waitstaff. However, prominent figures like Branden had service bells connected directly to the owner’s office.
Branden led Catherine into the private room. After everyone had entered, the owner of Meadow Restaurant personally closed the door before leaving.
The head manager on the side looked puzzled and quietly asked, “Boss, who are these important guests? Why did you personally serve them?”
He thought, “Even when the neighboring country’s dignitary visited last time, his boss only had a brief meeting and didn’t personally serve.”
The owner of the Meadow Restaurant gave his subordinate a mysterious and enigmatic look and said in a tone filled with mystery, “These are all extraordinary individuals with exceptional insight. Remember to serve them well. Offending any of them would end our business in Oceanvile.”
The manager nodded nervously. He understood that if the boss said something like this, these guests were not to be taken lightly.
As a small player, he couldn’t afford to offend them and could only serve them well. Inside the private room, Triston clapped his hands when he saw Catherine and the others enter.

But the next moment, Triston let out a miserable cry. He clutched his foot and glared at Aidan. “What the hell, why did you step on me!”
As Aidan saw this guy, he didn’t react at all. He decided not to rescue him and just rolled his eyes, letting him fend for himself.
Just as Triston finished speaking, he felt a chilling presence approaching from behind. He turned his head and met Branden’s icy eyes. In the deep, intense gaze, his eyes were like two sharp swords piercing straight at Triston.
Terrified, he shivered all over and finally realized what was happening. He quickly explained. “It’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Duncan, We absolutely had no intention of coveting Catherine. We just thought her performance today was too stunning, and we…”
Aidan quickly intervened as he worried that Triston would dig himself into a deeper hole with more explanations.
He picked up a plate of pre-dinner fruits from the table and stuffed it into Triston’s mouth, saying, “Eat more, and thus, you can’t talk anymore!”
Triston gave Aidan a fierce glare but complied, understanding that Aidan was coming to his rescue. Therefore, he didn’t argue with Aidan.

Catherine picked up her phone, which was placed on the table, to answer the call as it vibrated.
Scott had been trying to get Catherine’s number for a long time and finally managed to get it after much effort. Last night, he had felt that Catherine looked familiar, and today, after watching the intercollegiate competition, he finally realized why she seemed so familiar.
He had come across a video with over a billion views on a random website featuring a performance by Catherine.
He had been captivated by that brief glimpse of her. Now that he knew Catherine had finished the competition, he couldn’t resist contacting her to arrange a meeting. He had never expected the chief to be outstanding and multi-talented.
“Chief, can we invite you for dinner?”
Scott cautiously expressed his thoughts as he was afraid that Catherine might refuse. He even pleaded. “Chief, please give us a chance!”
