Chapter 882 Let Her Decide Ronin rested for one day. Finn found him the next day and told him what the black-robed man had ordered.
Ronin waited for Finn with his legs crossed. Seeing his posture, Finn wanted to go up to him and hit him, but the black-robed man had given Ronin a mission and he couldn't hit him now.
Until the mission was completed, if Finn hit Ronin, it would be the sas him not putting the black-robed man in his eyes. "Ronin, the boss has asked you to go back to school and stay by Catherine's side to watch her." Upon hearing the content of the mission, the originally calm Ronin immediately sat up straight and looked at Finn with surprised eyes. "What did you say?" His instantly raised volmade Finn a little impatient.
Finn reached up and scratched his ears, looking at him in disgust. "Are you deaf? Do I need to repeat myself? Don't you understand what the boss means? Since you want to surrender, you have to be ready to do so. This is what our boss askedto give you. Don't be too greedy. Disloyal people will make us look down." Finn left after saying that and threw the document the black-robed man prepared to Ronin.
"My job is to convey the boss's orders, and it's none of my business what Ronin thinks. If he doesn't want to follow our boss, I'll just watch the show," thought Finn.
Ronin checked the document after Finn left. When he saw the contents, he couldn't help but snicker.
"The black-robed man is amazing. He actually clearedof stealing information from the Duncan Corporation in one go. Since the mission is here, I'll do as I'm told," thought Ronin as he changed his clothes. He picked a car that was the scolor as the clothes he was wearing. He drove toward his destination.

Catherine was bored alone and cto Zobber and Withal to play a game. They hadn't been playing for long when they heard the knock at the door.
The three of them stopped what they were doing at the stime. This was their secret base, and it was rare for anyone to cknocking on the door.
"Catherine, is Mr. Duncan here to pick you up?" asked Zobber.
Catherine shook her head, thinking that it couldn't have been Branden. Half an hour ago, Branden had messaged her and said that he was in a meeting, so he shouldn't have cthere to pick her up so soon. And Branden would have told her before he came.
"Open the door and check," Catherine ordered.
Since Withal was the only boy in the room, he helplessly stood up to open the door.
Zobber was a little surprised to find Withal standing still after opening the door. "Who's it? Why are you still standing there?" When she walked up to the door and saw the visitor, she froze for a moment, too. After reacting, Zobber instantly becangry. She directly swung her fist over. "Traitor, how dare you still show up?" Her fist cdown head-on, and Ronin didn't even dodge. He took the punch without blinking his eyes. Zobber used all her strength in this punch and Ronin was instantly knocked back and fell to the ground. Zobber was still trying to step forward but was stopped by Withal. "Catherine is inside. Let her decide." "Okay, it just so happens that Catherine is in. We'll let Catherine decide." Zobber looked at Ronin angrily, her eyes staring viciously at him as if she wanted to get him killed at any time.
Seeing that Ronin couldn't stand up, Withal went up to help him. Zobber wasn't that kind, and she entered the door with her arms crossed around her chest, breathing heavily and angrily.
Catherine was sitting on the couch playing games when she saw them cin. She turned her head to look at them.
She wasn't surprised to see Ronin appear. Her brows couldn't help but furrow after her gaze landed on his red, swollen cheek.
She then turned her head to look at Zobber next to her, her eyes becoming increasingly sharp. "Why are you still so impulsive? You haven't changed at all." When Catherine usually scolded Zobber, Zobber would listen obediently, but she was different this time. She felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. She looked at Catherine with sdissatisfaction. " Catherine, why has your attitude toward traitors changed?" "Did I say he was a traitor?" Catherine questioned Zobber in a cold voice.
These words made Zobber not know how to respond. She froze in place and looked around at the two.
Ronin's eyes involuntarily went red when he saw Catherine. He tried to step forward, his foot stopping the moment he took a step. "Catherine..." "Uh-huh!" Catherine nodded calmly, her face remaining the same. She wasn't excited or didn't show any disgust. "Are you going to explain now, or do you want to take a break first?" "I'll explain now," Ronin responded.
"Okay, then Zobber asks and you answer." With that, Catherine leaned aside. She handed over the initiative to them, allowing them to make their own judgments.
The one who was most hostile to Ronin right now was Zobber. As long as Ronin could convince Zobber, the others present were not a problem.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZobber stared into Ronin's eyes and asked coldly, "Have you betrayed our organization, betrayed Catherine?" "No!" Ronin answered without hesitation.
Nonetheless, Zobber didn't believe him, and she questioned him on two points. "Why did you follow the enemy instead of leaving when we were rescuing you? Also, was the Duncan Corporation incident what you did?" "I couldn't leave." Ronin looked at Zobber with a face full of pain. "
Professor Warner is in their hands. If I leave, what will happen to him? We can only promise to cooperate with them in exchange for my and Professor Warner's safety. I didn't steal the information from the Duncan Corporation. They did it just to make you suspect me." After saying that, Ronin handed Zobber the information that Finn had given him. "You can check this. There is something in here that will prove my innocence." The black-robed man had prepared a document and it showed it was the black-robed man who had arranged for someone to imitate Ronin's behavior to steal the information from the Duncan Corporation. The person who really stole the information was not Ronin.
Despite this, Zobber still felt that she was somewhat suspicious of Ronin.
It was all too plausibly organized, and it always made her feel like things weren't that simple.
She turned her head to Catherine on the side. "Catherine, I have no more questions. I still maintain my point of view. I still think there's something wrong." Catherine's cold gaze fell on Zobber. She didn't speak up for Ronin, nor did she directly state her attitude.
She only asked Zobber back, "If you were captured because of the organization and cback from the dead, your most trusted and close Ve friends inside the organization constantly suspected you. No matter what evidence you provided, they didn't believe you. What should you do? What could you do to make those untrusted friends trust you again?" Catherine's question left Zobber dumbfounded. Zobber silently thought it over. If she were in the ssituation as Ronin, she could guarantee that she would never betray the organization, but how was she going to make her friends believe her?
Catherine's words instantly sobered Zobber who was still skeptical of Ronin. The way she looked at Ronin m was no longer hateful thought! wasn't as way wasn't as warm as before. "Since you can even make sense of it, then I'll believe you. But if you really betrayed the organization, you'd better hide those things fromor I'll be the first to kill you. I always do what I say, and you know it." "Okay." Ronin nodded vigorously, his face filled with delight.
