Chapter 546
The kidnapper held his head and begged, "Please spare me! I really don't know who it was. Our boss was the one
who accepted the mission, and we’re only working for him to carry out the kidnapping!"
Catelyn did not believe a word he said, however. Even if he did not know who hired them, he must have known
something else.
She gritted her teeth and paced around when she accidentally came across a sharp dagger in the hand of the
kidnapper who lost consciousness. She stumbled toward it and walked back to the other kidnapper, waving the
dagger all the while.
"You won't spill? Fine. Since you both wanted to kill me, I might as well play along, right?" She chuckled. The sunlight
shone on the blade and reflected onto her face in a horrifying manner.

"I heard that there's a surgery where they can sew your bits back even when it's been cut off. Do you want to try
it?" Catelyn batted her eyes innocently.
Cedrick paled.
There were plenty of ways to threaten a man, and she chose the most horrible one!
The kidnapper stared as the blade inched closer to him and felt the excruciating pain even before the blade cut into
his skin. He shivered and looked at Catelyn pleadingly. "Don't! I—I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything I know... The
person who hired my boss to kidnap you was—ack!"
Before he could finish, a bullet pierced through the air and shot the kidnapper in the head. He lifelessly fell to the
ground, his eyes wide open and peculiarly swirling with remnants of regret.
"Watch out!"
Cedrick's expression darkened and darted over to shield Catelyn with his body.
The two fell to the ground and rolled off to take shelter behind the stone wall; through the wall, she could still hear
the sound of bullets hitting off the ground.
A faint scent of blood filled the air and Catelyn simply thought that it was from the kidnapper who was shot dead.
She grabbed onto Cedrick's hand nervously in fear.
"This has to be the other kidnapper who left earlier. Where's Mister Peterson? Why are you here alone?"
Cedrick kept one arm around Catelyn and pressed her toward him as close as possible to avoid exposing their
location to the kidnapper. His lips were pressed against the back of her ear, and his stubble pricked against her skin.
"The area is too large, so I told everyone to spread out."
"Are you an idiot, CedrickMason?" Catelyn felt herself tingling in rage. Had they not been in this situation, she would
have shoved him away.

out, you should've at least brought Alex! Good job. We don't even have any tools or weapons now..."
Cedrick observed the frustrated expression on her face. His heart flattered as he lowered his head to rub his cheek
against hers. " Worried about me?"
"I'm just worried that I won't get out of here alive!"
"If we survive this, will you come with me to Las Vegars?"
"I'll decide once we're out of here."
Catelyn was not in the mood to discuss such a matter when she just narrowly escaped hell, only to run into another
dangerous situation. Her heart was still racing, but she also knew that she could not allow Cedrick to die in vain for
her sake.
"Why don't you escape on your own?" She looked up and stared at Cedrick sincerely. "They're targeting me, so as
long as I step outside to draw the kidnapper's attention, you'll have the chance to escape. Considering how well-
trained you are, you shouldn't have any issue getting out of here—"
Before she could finish, Cedrick pinched the side of her waist harshly.
She grunted in pain, but it sounded like she merely gasped. Cedrick's expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes.
