Chapter 853 Why Didn’t You Ran Away

With Finn’s lead, Ronin followed him to the new base. After getting out of the car, Ronin raised his hand voluntarily and requested Finn to put the handcuffs on him.

But Finn didn’t do anything, just coldly looking at Ronin, his eyes searching him up and down.

Ronin sneered and stared straight at Finn. “What, you’re not going to lock me up? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away?”

Finn rolled his eyes at him and said, You had countless chances to escape just now. You could even have killed me, but you didn’t. Now you’re leaving from the base? Are you treating me like a fool, or are you treating yourself like a fool?”

Ronin couldn’t argue with that, so he just gestured toward Finn.

Finn pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Ronin.

Ronin took a puff and was choked by the cigarette.

Seeing him like this, Finn couldn’t help but sarcastically say, “If you don’t smoke, then don’t try to imitate others and end up suffering for it.”

Ronin didn’t retort as he usually would. He just stared in the direction of the incoming and said casually, “It’s not that I can’t smoke. It’s been too long since I last smoked. The last time was probably ten years ago. I was still young and dumb then. I used to sneak in a smoke every day. Then Catherine caught me. Do you know how she dealt with me?”

Knowing who Catherine in Ronin’s mouth was, Finn became curious about what he said. “How did she deal with you?”

“She forced me to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes at once, and that directly gave me pharyngitis. My throat was swollen for three days. Catherine even set up hot and spicy barbecues for me every day. I can remember that pain for the rest of my life. I haven’t smoked since then,” replied Ronin.

Finn could tell that Ronin really missed Catherine because his eyes lit up whenever her name was mentioned.

‘He must really miss Catherine, but I don’t understand why Ronin didn’t just leave earlier,’ wondered Finn. “So why did you follow me when Zobber came looking for you?”

Finn’s question left Ronin speechless.

A few seconds later, Ronin let out a sigh and muttered quietly, “Maybe it’s because I feel guilty. I never thought about betraying Catherine, but I did it to survive. For someone who crawled out of hell, they deeply understand that nothing is more important than life.”

After Ronin finished speaking, he stood up and went back to the prison cell alone. Although life had gotten better after he surrendered to the man in the black robe, he was still not free.

Looking at Ronin’s lonely figure, Finn’s thoughts about him started to change.

He originally thought Ronin was just pretending to surrender, and on top of that, because of Ronin, Grayson got into trouble, so he really hated Ronin.

But he didn’t expect Ronin was actually for real. If that were the case, his hatred toward Ronin would no longer exist.

If Ronin was showing so much hatred toward Catherine just now, then he must have been faking it. But his longing for her didn’t seem fake at all.

His eyes were too sincere.

Besides, he believed what Ronin said that people who climbed out of hell knew better than anyone else how important life was because he was one of them.

After Paxton searched the base, they not only caught a few people but also gathered up all the things the other party didn’t have time to take away.

Zobber brought the surveillance video and rushed to Catherine. She handed the surveillance video to Catherine. ” Catherine, hurry up and take a look.”

Zobber’s voice sounded really angry like she had been betrayed by a guy or something.

Seeing her so anxious, Catherine opened the video to take a look.

Even though it was the second time watching the surveillance video, Zobber still couldn’t control her anger. “Catherine, you gotta look at this bastard Ronin on the surveillance. He’s really pissing me off.”

After reading it, Catherine gives the phone back to Zobber.

Zobber was expecting Catherine to be angry, but when she saw Catherine’s expressionless face and no reaction at all, she just couldn’t handle it.

She knew Catherine was pretty chill and didn’t really care about a lot of things. But Catherine’s reaction really threw her off. Even if she was chill, she should definitely be more affected when being betrayed like this.

“Catherine, aren’t you angry?”

Zobber’s voice sounded angry.

Catherine gave her an icy look and asked, “Why would I?”

Zobber was totally baffled. “Because he betrayed you, Catherine. You hate being betrayed the most, right? Why aren’t you angry even though he betrayed you? Shouldn’t we be grabbing this traitor and giving him a good lesson now?”

“Emm,” Catherine just responded with a single word. And then she just left, leaving Zobber standing there dumbfounded.

Zobber was so angry that she stomped her foot. ‘What’s that reaction? Just walking away like that?’ After waiting for a while and not seeing Catherine back, Zobber had to leave by herself..

When she walked out of the lab, she ran into Rylan at the door.

Rylan took the initiative to say hi, ” Hello, Zobber!”

Zobber heard someone call her name, turned around, and saw Rylan. “What are you doing here? Are you here for Catherine?”

Rylan nodded and said, “I’ll wait for Catherine to finish her experiment tonight, then I’ll have dinner with her.”

Zobber could see right through Rylan’s feelings for Catherine.

After all, who wouldn’t want to pursue someone as amazing as Catherine? It was totally normal to have several suitors for her.

“Okay, but Catherine might not be free. I try to find her, but she is always busy, “said Zobber.

Upon hearing this, Rylan chuckled. “So you’re all angry just because Catherine doesn’t have time to see you?”

Zobber was super pissed off because of Ronin just now, so there was no hiding the anger on her face. It was no surprise Rylan could totally see that.

“It’s all because of Ronin. Never thought he’d turn out to be a complete traitor. He’s breaking Catherine’s heart. “In Zobber’s opinion, Catherine was just angry and didn’t want to talk because she felt betrayed by someone she trusted too much.

“Did Ronin betray Catherine?” Rylan frowned and looked at Zobber, his face full of doubt.

If it weren’t for being so angry, Zobber wouldn’t even say something like that.

Even though she knew Rylan, it was not like they were tight or anything. She only met him because of Catherine, and their relationship was not that close.

After realizing it, Zobber immediately shut up. “Nothing. I still have stuff to do, so I’m out of here.”

Even if they had problems, Zobber thought she shouldn’t tell outsiders. Zobber found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Rylan stood there, looking toward the lab, with a really creepy expression.’ Ronin betrayed Catherine? This is interesting,’ he thought.
