Chapter 239 Catherine’s Spell
At first, Yesenia had shown disdain for Catherine and even called her a jinx. However, she had now
transformed into a devoted follower. She stuck closely to Catherine’s side, even more so than Branden
did.
Branden and Triston had gone to discuss some business matters. Branden had intended to take
Catherine with him. However, Catherine firmly declined. She showed no interest in boring business
discussions.
So, Catherine remained in place to rest, while Bryan and Ronin were pulled away. This left only
Yesenia, who clung to Catherine relentlessly.
“Catherine, will you play a game with me? I really want to experience what it’s like to be guided by
someone!” Yesenia pleaded with eagerness as she looked at Catherine. In her eyes, Catherine was an
unattainable character and a top-tier gamer.
Yesenia was accustomed to leading others and raising their ranks in games. It was her first time
begging someone to guide her in games.
Considering Catherine’s stature, it was natural to make such a request. Catherine had initially planned
to take a quick nap, but she was swayed by Yesenia’s pleading eyes.
Yesenia’s eyes were remarkably similar to Ronin’s. They were bright and attractive. However, unlike
Ronin’s sharpness, Yesenia appeared more innocent and pure. Catherine remained calm. She lazily
glanced at Yesenia with her beautiful eyes and casually nodded.
“Sure. Let’s play.”
At first, Yesenia didn’t realize the situation. She had expected Catherine to be difficult with her. To her
surprise, Catherine agreed so readily. After a moment of processing, Yesenia clapped her hands
enthusiastically. She smiled brightly in excitement.
“Yes. Thank you, Catherine.”
After Yesenia finished speaking, she couldn’t wait any longer and quickly opened her phone. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuccessfully joined a team with Catherine face-to- face.
The moment Catherine joined the team, Yesenia couldn’t contain her excitement and let out another
scream. She appeared like a big fan of Catherine.
“Wow. Catherine, the way you entered is just so cool.”
In this game, there was no need for in- app purchases. Instead, rare resources were distributed based
on players’ levels.
The higher one’s level was, the more dazzling the way one entered the would be. game The way
Catherine entered the game was something that Yesenia had spent countless sleepless nights trying to
achieve.
As soon as Catherine pressed the ready button, Yesenia eagerly hit the start button. Although it was a
four-person team game, Yesenia chose to cancel the matchmaking with random teammates.
There was no way she was going to share this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with strangers. Yesenia
wanted to enjoy it herself and learn skills from Catherine.
The game officially started as they joined the battle royale. After that, Yesenia continued her usual
strategy. She selected a location with the most resources and the highest number of enemies. She
then began frantically looting resources and engaging in battles.
However, she forgot that this game had a rule of matching teammates based on the team’s average
ranking. Actually, Yesenia was a good player within her rank.
However, Catherine’s rank was significantly higher. When combined, the overall ranking of their team
was higher than Yesenia’s individual rank. Then the opponents all had higher ranks than Yesenia.
Yesenia continued to play aggressively as she usually did. In less than three minutes, she was taken
down by an opponent and needed to be rescued.
She panicked and shouted for help. But she was taken down so quickly that she felt embarrassed to
trouble Catherine.
Thankfully, Catherine was not heartless. After eliminating Yesenia’s attacker, Catherine rushed to her
side. After saving Yesenia, Catherine tossed a health pack to her and left to continue her gameplay.
Yesenia watched Catherine’s stylish departure with amazement. She was stunned for a while. In high-
level matches like this, even a one-second hesitation could lead to fatal consequences.
As Yesenia watched Catherine in shock, the sound of gunfire rang, and Yesenia was down again.
Yesenia was frustrated and couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it. Who’s that jerk? Can’t you give me a
chance to watch Catherine for a bit longer?”
As time passed, the gunfire in the vicinity grew more intense. Now that everyone was well-equipped,
the less skilled players had been eliminated. Only the experts left.
Although Yesenia wasn’t the best player, she knew that this was not the time for Catherine to be
distracted. Seeing that Catherine’s location was surrounded by gunfire and Catherine couldn’t come to
her aid, Yesenia generously said, “Catherine, don’t worry about me. Be brave and go for the victory.”
With no response from Catherine, Yesenia assumed that Catherine had accepted her plan. As she
quietly hid in a corner of the ruins, she waited for her health bar to deplete gradually, which would lead
to her inevitable death.
She decided to end her game like this. She couldn’t let her death be caused by those other players.
Her health bar slowly dwindled. In just a matter of seconds, it was completely depleted.
Yesenia thought the game would soon be over. She was about to set aside her phone and take some
fruit to enjoy Catherine’s performance. However, the next moment, Catherine suddenly appeared.
Just as Yesenia’s health bar was about to vanish completely, Catherine triggered the rescue button and
saved Yesenia in the nick of time.
Yesenia’s eyes lit up instantly. She quickly got up and held her phone again. “Catherine, I told you don’t
save me. In this high-level match, I’ll be a burden to you.”
Catherine looked at her with a sidelong glance and calmly replied, “A burden? That’s not a thing. Just
stick with me.’
After the rescue, Catherine dropped a series of high-end equipment for Yesenia, including weapons,
medicines, armor, and so on.
Seeing the pile of items on the ground, Yesenia was astonished. “Catherine, are you sure about this?
What about yourself?”
“Just take care of yourself,” Catherine said nonchalantly. At that moment, Yesenia finally understood
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat it felt like to be taken care of by someone.
This feeling warmed her heart to the point of tears. Yesenia felt so blessed. It only reinforced her
determination to cling to Catherine, and she wouldn’t waver.
In the end, there were no surprises. Catherine eliminated the last enemy and claimed victory. Yesenia
enjoyed a carefree victory experience. When Branden and the others came out, they were greeted by a
rather surprising sight.
Catherine and Yesenia were both sitting on the sofa. What made it amusing was that Yesenia sat
upright with a serious expression, as if filled with reverence.
Meanwhile, Catherine was reclining on the sofa with her legs crossed. She was in a lazy and relaxed
posture that seemed incredibly comfortable.
From a distance, they could hear Yesenia’s excited comments now and then.
“Oh, my God. Catherine, you’re amazing. One shot and they’re down. That’s incredible!
“Go ahead. Let’s eliminate these little trashes. They think they can gang up on us because we’re
outnumbered.
“With Catherine by my side, I won’t worry about winning.”
Aidan gave a sidelong glance at Branden and teased, “Mr. Duncan, it seems like the Duncans have
fallen under the spell of someone named Catherine. I remember not too long ago, this girl was rather
critical of Catherine.
“Now, with this posture, it seems like she’s turned Catherine into her idol. ”
He had thought that Branden would be annoyed by his words, and Aidan was prepared to be scolded.
However, when he looked at Branden again, he saw a faint smile on his lips. It seemed that Branden
was in a good mood.
Branden stared at Catherine with his intense gaze. His eyes darkened and became more gentle.
“What’s wrong with that?” he responded. Aidan’s mouth twitched. He thought inwardly, “It seems like
the world has turned upside down.”
