Chapter 922 I Want Flash

Black Robe, seeing Ronin pressing for answers, directly told him the real reason. “It’s not a big deal. Since Zobber is so dissatisfied with your alliance and Catherine, you should find a way to persuade her to join us.”

After understanding the reason, Ronin was shocked. He even doubted if his ears were playing tricks on him. “Sir, you’re not joking with me, are you? Just before coming here, I received a message from Zobber. She threatened to kill me and issued a pursuit order against me. And now you want me to persuade her to come here? Isn’t that sending me to my death?”

Faced with Ronin’s emotional outburst, Black Robe remained incredibly calm. ” Ronin, why get so worked up? Haven’t you forgotten what I just said? If you work for me, I’ll protect you!”

Ronin feared that once he was no longer useful, they would kill him without hesitation. “I can’t do it. Such a difficult task should be given to your elite subordinates.”

“Ronin, you are my elite now. Are you planning to betray me?” The man’s icy voice carried a clear warning.

Ronin knew that if he didn’t agree, he might not leave this place today. “Sir, if I remember correctly, we are in a partnership, right?”

Black Robe suddenly understood Ronin’s meaning. “Just say what conditions you want.”

Seeing this, Ronin didn’t beat around the bush. “I want Flash.”

Worried Black Robe might misunderstand, Ronin added, “Flash tortured me so miserably before. It’s time for me to pay him back.”

Black Robe had heard many times that Ronin took advantage of the opportunity to mistreat Flash, a matter that Finn had talked to him about repeatedly. Finn respected Flash and hated to see his former leader suffer such humiliation. But to Black Robe, Flash was already useless. If Ronin liked, he could do anything he wanted to Flash. Trading Flash for Zobber was a good deal.

“Alright, I agree,” he said. “As long as you can bring Zobber in, I’ll give you Flash.”

Ronin nodded contentedly and left the room. Once he was gone, Finn emerged from the shadows. He had been keeping watch in case Ronin did anything harmful. When Ronin made a move, it would be time to kill him.

“Sir, are you sure you want to agree to Ronin’s terms?” Finn asked.

Black Robe knew Finn’s concern, but he didn’t care. Even though Finn had sympathy for Flash, he didn’t dare to betray him.

Black Robe turned and squinted at Finn. “Do you think Zobber is more important than a useless person?”

This statement left Finn unable to argue. Flash had once harbored thoughts of betrayal, which meant he would never be trusted again. But Finn would rather see Flash locked up for life than suffer humiliation at the hands of Ronin.

“Sir, are you sure Ronin won’t betray us?”

“As long as Professor Warner is around, Ronin is like a puppet!” Black Robe said confidently. He wasn’t worried at all; he had the means to control Ronin.

Finn could only watch helplessly as the matter was settled.

After Ronin left, he immediately rushed back to school and inquired about Catherine’s whereabouts.

“Catherine, I’m here!” Ronin exclaimed as he burst through the door, causing Thomas’s face to darken.

“You rascal, why are you so restless? You’re not a kid anymore!” scolded Thomas.

Ronin had heard that Thomas had arrived yesterday, but it was too late to visit him. Now, being reprimanded by Thomas, he immediately became more obedient. “Mr. Theo, I know I was wrong. I won’t run off next time,” Ronin promised.

Thomas not only took care of Catherine, but also treated Ronin, who was like a brother to Catherine, with great affection, almost as if Ronin were his grandson. Ronin deeply respected the care Thomas showed him.

Being alone in the world, apart from Catherine and this group of friends, Ronin didn’t have family. Thomas was like his grandfather.

Although Ronin had apologized, Thomas was still not satisfied and glared at him. “Next time? If there’s a next time, old man here will break your legs!” Thomas threatened, visibly angry.

Ronin, not daring to argue, turned to Catherine for help, but she paid no attention, enjoying the spectacle. Rarely seeing Ronin being scolded, she had no reason to intervene.

Thomas grew even angrier, worrying that Ronin, unaware of Catherine’s situation, would accidentally collide with Catherine.

After being scolded by Thomas for about ten minutes, Ronin was finally let off the hook. As soon as Thomas left, he immediately approached Catherine. “What’s up with Mr. Theo? Why did he have to make such a fuss?” Ronin asked.

Catherine promptly tapped his head. ” You brat, stop talking nonsense. Just listen to Mr. Theo’s advice!”

Feeling aggrieved, Ronin could only hold back his emotions. Only Catherine knew that Thomas’s actions were mainly to take care of her and ensure her safety.

“Why did you come here?” Catherine asked.

It was then that Ronin realized, thanks to Catherine’s reminder, that he had almost forgotten an important matter due to Thomas’s intervention.

“Yeah, Catherine, I need to talk to you about something,” Ronin said, recounting his day’s experiences to Catherine.

After listening, Catherine sneered. “

Well, he’s got his plans all figured out, hasn’t he?”

“Catherine, what should we do next? Should we really try to persuade Zobber?” Ronin inquired.

Catherine gave him a sidelong glance. “

You already promised, didn’t you? Since you’ve promised, then you have to follow through!”

Ronin was very puzzled by this response. As he looked at Catherine, who kept smiling at him, his confusion grew. “Boss, what do you mean by that? “he asked.

Catherine stood up and lightly tapped his head. “You’ll figure it out on your own, you little rascal!”

Catherine Swann, a simple countryside girl, was having a leisurely and carefree life in the countryside. She thought she could have a happy life there for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, life had other plans for her. Her grandfather left a will for her, making her the inheritor of the Swanns’ billion-dollar fortune. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, he also arranged a marriage for her.

Branden Duncan, the only heir of the wealthiest family in Casier, was the dream prince charming of almost all the women in Casier. But Catherine turned him down in public. Instead of being angry about it, he was attracted by Catherine's cold eyes.Although Catherine seemed to be a girl with a simple life in the countryside, she was not simple. What kind of identity did she have? How would she deal with her unexpected fiancé and the opposition from the rest of the Swanns to her inheritance of the Swanns’ fortune?

Chapter 1 Return of the Jinx At Vicente Swann's funeral. As the Swanns were one of the three prominent families in Casier, Vicente's funeral was naturally packed with big shots and members of respected families in Casier. In the noisy venue, the arrival of a girl in a white T-shirt attracted the attention of everyone present. All of the people present were either rich or powerful. Despite being good-looking, the girl wore a cheap and battered T-shirt, setting her apart from everyone else at the funeral. Seeing how she walked straight toward the Swanns family, someone couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is she? Why is she sitting with the Swanns?" "I heard that she is Miss Catherine, the second daughter of the Swanns that had lived away from the family. Vicente only asked her to come back before he died." "Is that so? I heard that Vicente ordered the family to announce his will in front of everyone before he died. I guess she only returned for this!" ... The girl did not know that she had already become the topic of the guests' discussions. She looked calmly ahead with an indifferent expression on her face. Her eyes remained focused on Vicente's portrait in the middle of the venue. Nobody knew what she was thinking about at the time. At the sight of Catherine Swann like this, Liana Swann, the youngest and favorite daughter of the Swanns, couldn't help complaining to her mother, who was sitting next to her. "Mom, what is going on with this country girl? Grandpa has died. Even if she isn't sad, she should at least pretend to cry. What would the others think if the media took a photo of her like this later? She wouldn't even change her clothes when we asked her to. People that don't know better would think that the Swanns have mistreated her!" After hearing her youngest daughter's complaints, Rachael Swann furrowed her brows too. She thought that her youngest daughter did have a point. She never loved Catherine, her daughter from the countryside, dearly. In fact, Catherine pissed Rachael off just one day after she had returned. However, it was not the right time for Rachael to handle Catherine now. She planned to wait until the funeral was over before sending Catherine back to the countryside so that Catherine wouldn't continue to embarrass the Swanns here. Looking up, Rachael saw that her husband had arrived. She comforted her youngest daughter in a low voice, "Liana, be good. Your father is here. Bear with Catherine for now. We need to deal with what is important first!" Liana couldn't show her annoyance towards Catherine in public, so she could only choke back the complaints on the tip of her tongue. Nobody noticed that Catherine, who had been looking straight ahead, smiled lightly. The Swanns never spent time with Catherine, so they wouldn't know she had exceptional hearing. Even though Rachael and Liana spoke in a low voice, Catherine clearly heard every word of their exchange. Her mother truly did not love her! As Catherine stared at Vicente's portrait, her eyes flashed with a faint trace of sadness. Did she have to cry because of pain? ... Korbin Swann walked up the stage slowly. He gave a long speech first and expressed his views about how great Vicente was before finally announcing that the family would publicly announce Vicente's will. As many people knew this beforehand, the crowd was not too surprised. Vicente had a son and daughter. It was a no-brainer who would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. However, nobody understood why Vicente would make sure to make such a fuss to announce his will publicly. Was it just for formality? The lawyer Vicente trusted the most when he was still alive opened the sealed will and read it out loud. "After careful consideration, I, Vicente Swann, leave all my shares of the Swann Corporation, real estate properties, and a 500 million-dollar deposit at the Bank of Nospines to my granddaughter, Catherine Swann..." At the lawyer's words, the crowd gasped in shock. Not even the Swanns, everyone present was dumbfounded. Catherine Swann? Wasn't she the second daughter of the Swanns, the jinx that Vicente sent off to be raised in the countryside when she was young? How could it be? She would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. With their jaws dropped, everyone shared a similar look of horror. Except for Catherine, the center of the discussion. She still looked indifferent, as though nothing had happened. Her eyes were still fixed on Vicente's portrait in the center of the hall. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke in an almost inaudible voice. "Old man, what were you thinking?"
