Chapter 110: Shoot Him Dead with One Shot!
Catherine frowned slightly.
"After you took the director from Angel's Haven Orphanage, you weren't together?"
Ethan nodded. "We split up pretty quickly. I don't know what information you're trying to get from him, but his identity has always been a secret. If you want to know that secret, wait until Matthew wakes up."
He looked at Catherine standing at the foot of the bed, his eyes flashing with threatening fierceness, his muscular body trembling.
"If anything happens to Matthew, I'll kill you!"
Catherine shrugged, glanced at him casually, her red lips curling under the mask, a hint of disdain at the corners of her eyes.
"With what you've got?"
Her voice was light, yet it still made Ethan feel a strong sense of suffocation!
Phantom Doctor Moon had always had a reputation on the dark web for killing without spilling blood - she could save lives, and she could take them too!
Catherine's eyes were cold and clear, carrying an intense sense of oppression. Just this one look was like a queen in the dark night. She looked at Ethan coolly.
"Ethan, don't forget - I'm a doctor, but I'm also a killer. If you want my life, you're not qualified."
She withdrew her gaze and sneered.
"Matthew's life is in your hands, but if you cross me, he has no way out. Understand?"
Ethan's breathing stopped in an instant!
She dared to threaten him like this?
After all his years in the international scene, this was the first time he'd met such an arrogant woman!
Yet her eyes made Ethan feel an invisible pressure, as if a hand was gripping his throat, making it impossible to breathe!
"I won't leave before he wakes up, but if you try to threaten me, he might never wake up again in this lifetime."
Her tone was flat, as if she was just talking about the most trivial matter!
Catherine glanced at Ethan and walked out of the hospital room.
Mars came up to her and said in a low voice, "Boss, Esme met with a scarred man, and they did secretly trade a large quantity of Vitality Pills."
"Do you know who that man is?"
Mars followed Catherine into the office and closed the door.
This office looked ordinary, but it had actually been carefully modified by Galactic Aurora Collective.
When Elodie was hospitalized before, Catherine had lived in this office, working day and night researching medical records and pharmaceutical texts.
She had casually renovated the office.
Even with a sniper rifle, it would be hard to penetrate the doors and windows of this office!
"That man is probably just a small player. I checked - he's just a drug dealer who used to work with Eli many years ago."
Catherine nodded. "So you're saying there's someone behind him?"
"Of course. At least it's an organization capable of producing Vitality Pills, and the production scale can't be smaller than our lab."
To have a medical laboratory on par with Moon Laboratory - within all of Stellara, that would be traceable.
That left only one possibility!
"A lab outside the country?"
"You're so smart. This place isn't far from the border anyway - most likely a lab in the no-man's-land. After all, bringing something like Vitality Pills in here isn't easy either."
Osflow was only a few hundred miles from the border. Back then, Catherine had traveled between Galactic Aurora Collective and the Smith family's old house this way, never being discovered.
The Smith family people didn't care about her, and even though Elodie cared, she wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Can you find out which lab it is?"
"Still checking. George is following the scarred man - looks like he's heading toward the border. Do we need to arrange protection on our end?"
Mars only said this because the Windsor family people had indeed treated Catherine pretty well.
"Don't expose your identity. Don't let George know which organization it is."
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing. Even if he wants to know, I won't tell him."
The Windsor family people cherished and protected her, and she didn't want them to know about the things she'd done, causing her family to worry for nothing!
All the darkness she'd experienced, she would bear alone.
"Also check how Esme contacted that scarred man."
Mars bit into an apple and raised an eyebrow. "You mean there's something fishy about how Esme found that scarred man?"
Catherine said flatly, "Esme's IQ makes me suspect her brain might just be decoration."
Simply put, Esme didn't have the brains to access something at the level of Vitality Pills!
Mars completely agreed and nodded along.
Esme really was an idiot - who knows how she'd survived this long!
Venus, sitting nearby, stared at the dense data on the computer. The green text on the black screen left him stunned.
"Someone posted a message on the dark web - offering ten million dollars for your life."
Catherine fell silent.
Mars burst out laughing, quickly finishing his apple and coming over to look at the computer.
"Boss, your price isn't even as high as mine. Someone once offered fifty million dollars for my life."
Catherine was also quite annoyed.
"Who posted it?"
This was too cheap! Her life was only worth this much?
Venus's fingers flew across the keyboard, and after a series of operations, he quickly pulled up the IP address behind it.
"Boss, it was that Esme who posted it."
Venus now also thought Esme was a complete idiot. "Should we tell the Windsor family about this?"
Given how much the Windsor family valued Catherine, if they knew about this, they would definitely go after Esme!
Catherine shook her head gently. "No need. The Windsor family will find out about this."
The Windsor family had their own contacts on the dark web.
Mars was a bit curious. "If the Windsor family finds out, will they help Catherine or help that Esme? Even though Catherine is their biological daughter, that Esme has been with them for so many years too."
Mars didn't mean anything by it. They'd grown up with Catherine and already saw each other as family.
He just didn't dare gamble - what if the Windsor family chose Esme and broke Catherine's heart?
Human nature was the thing that couldn't stand testing the most!
Catherine lowered her eyes, concealing her expression.
"That's their business, nothing to do with me."
No matter what the Windsor family chose, she would use her own means to protect herself!
"Boss, if they treat you badly, we'll just leave!"
"Boss, someone actually accepted the contract!"
Venus stared at the information on the screen, eyes wide. After seeing the acceptance message, he stood up and grabbed the sniper rifle from behind him.
"Is this Ethan brain-damaged? Catherine just saved Matthew, and he accepts a contract to kill Catherine! I'm going to shoot him right now!"
In the next hospital room, Ethan had casually accepted several contracts.
He'd just put away his phone when the hospital room door was pushed open, and a cold gun barrel was pointed at his head!
