All Her Secrets

Branden boarded the private plane and headed to Snake Island. Paxton sat with him on the plane and felt uneasy, so he handed the serum the lab newly developed to Branden.

“Sir, this is the serum. Inject it for your safety.”

Branden glanced at Paxton as a warning, and the latter put the serum away gingerly. Branden then pulled open the airplane door.

Without a moment of hesitation, Branden jumped off the plane. Paxton was dumbfounded. They did not arrive at their destination yet.

Why did Branden jump off suddenly?

The plan was to send Branden to Snake Island, and Branden finished the survival challenge there. But Branden chose to increase the difficulty by jumping to the nearby sea area and swimming to the shore.

The sea area around Snake Island was a famous dead zone. The complex geography caused the sea to swell roughly, and the most dangerous thing was the man-eater shark.

If starting from that sea area, Branden would probably be eaten by a shark before he got to the island. Paxton could not understand what Branden wanted. Whether to beg for Catherine’s forgiveness or simply torture himself.

Paxton could not stop Branden from swimming to Snake Island and stayed till the challenge was completed, but he needed to know Branden’s condition at all times.

Everything was as usual on the training ground. There was nothing different after Branden joined them. After all, Catherine did not agree with Branden to join her camp officially.

It still depended on whether Branden could be back alive from Snake Island. Catherine started the other half of the training. The trainees were highly focused, and no one dared to do anything wrong.

They knew Catherine’s cruel methods and did not have the guts to risk it. As time passed, Catherine’s training methods became even more harsh.

Three people were eliminated in the afternoon only.

Yet, no one complained, not because they feared Catherine. They knew the training goal was to pick out the best elites from them. If one was not capable enough, they were expected to be out.

Most importantly, they had witnessed their improvement in just one week. That was what Catherine brought them. They were much more powerful now.
