Chapter 360
Catelyn did not reply.
“Maia was with him for four years, yet you came out of nowhere and snatched him! I warn you: if you
dare betray him in any way, I’ll feed you to the sharks!”
“Are you listening to me?”
Catelyn sensed danger at that moment and, grabbing onto Javier’s arm, sprinted toward the parking lot.
“These people are dangerous. Run, and don’t look back!”
Javier leaned forward from the sudden impact.
He turned around to find that the bikers were getting closer to them. The bikes stopped and a few men in
leather jackets and helmets got down from their bikes with bats in their hands.

He internally cursed himself. These men were not whom he had called for! They looked far too
intimidating and ruthless.
Where did they come from then?
Catelyn dragged Javier away, which prompted the men to chase after her. “Stop running!” Catelyn merely
picked up the pace. It would be stupid for anyone to stop running in such a situation.
She took off her high heels, finding them a hassle to run in, as she continued running barefooted. She
did not have the time to wonder who those men were; the only thing in her mind was to run for her life.
However, there was no way for them to overrun the men. They came prepared. Javier was confused,
even though he had experience, he was still just a teenager.
Summoning his courage, he feebly asked, “W- What are these people here for?”
Catelyn thought about it for a second and said, “I’m guessing they’re Cedrick’s enemies, or Nine’s mnen.
They’re probably trying to get information about the City Center project from us.”
Javier gulped at this, wondering why everyone thought of doing the same thing.
He, too, had wanted to test Catelyn.
He did not expect to lure out the real enemies!
What should he do? Those men won in terms of quantity and size!
Catelyn looked around anxiously as she ran.
Amid her panic, she saw a black trash can a short distance away from them. The trash can was cleaned
out every night, so there should be barely any trash in it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe pulled Javier’s arm and shoved him into a corner, planning on turning the trash can around to cover
him. Javier noticed this and fearfully hissed, “W-What are you trying to do?!”
“You stay inside while I steer them away!” ordered Catelyn, unable to come up with a better
plan.
Javier tried to protest this, staring at her like she was crazy, and stammered incredulously, “A… Are you
crazy? That should be my job. I’m a man!”
“You’re not even turned eighteen yet, and you’re still a child to me! Listen: once they’re done chasing me,
find a way to leave and get Cedrick to save me.”

Time was of the essence, and Catelyn quickly placed the trash can over him. Javier struggled to get out,
but the footsteps of those men sounded dangerously close to them. “She’s right there! Go after her!”
“Don’t let her escape; she must have the information we need!”
