Catherine washed her feet. Water was still dripping from her fair toes down to the floor tiles before quickly seeping down and vanished.

Any man who saw this scene would probably want this woman for himself.

But Kota was not in the mood.

After all, the house was only so big, and there was still a portrait of Grandma Churchill’s son on the table. This was not the cheapo hotel, a suitable place for making out.

Now, he finally had some free time to think about his future.

Before he got the system, he was just an ordinary student, a small fry at the bottom rung of a gang.

He was ordered around by all those big shots.

If he could have put down his ego and dance around the wealthy women and become their plaything. He could have sold his body for money, biting his lips to live on.

Many seniors in the underworld had walked down this path.

He was poor.

He was afraid of being poor.

This was also the reason he immediately got down to making money after discovering this system.

He didn’t want to continue being poor.

He wanted to become stronger. He wanted to control his own fate and not go with the flow.

But right now, just Ying alone was enough to send him into hiding. Not to mention Heavenly Punishment that even Ying was afraid of.

He wanted to become stronger.

But now, he was far from that.

Perhaps there would be a day when even a corporation as enormous as Heavenly Punishment would tremble in fear upon hearing his name.

Catherine had changed her clothes while Kota was still deep in thought.

Kota was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, “Miss Catherine, is Ying going to go burst soon?”

Catherine crossed her knees and looked at Kota. “Yes, that’s why marrying me to the heir of Heavenly Punishment is the only way out for my grandpa.”

“What if you don’t?” Kota suddenly looked up with a smile.

It was just like the first ray of sunlight had climbed over the roof of the fence in the morning and sprinkled on his handsome face.

Seeing this, Catherine’s heart suddenly fluttered.

But immediately after, when she thought about the consequences of what Kota said, her heart sank.

“Who do you think you are?” Catherine suddenly sat up from the bed.

She was even getting angry.

“Between us, it’s just a transaction. You will get me, and I will get what I want. I have my journey to travel, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Catherine’s anger came from her own cowardice.

Indeed, in the eyes of others, she was an ice beauty. Countless young men will die for just a smile from her.

But she was helpless when it came to Heaven’s Punishment corporation.

Faced with Kota, who was not angry at all and was still smiling, Catherine suddenly seemed to understand something. She covered her mouth. “Don’t tell me you have fallen in love with me, do you?”

Kota shook his head slowly. “Miss Catherine, there’s one thing I hope you understand. I haven’t made love with you yet, so I don’t really like you that much.”

Catherine also realized that Kota might have misunderstood her words.

Falling in love and making love were entirely different things.

“Scum,” she snapped angrily.

Kota ignored Catherine.

Perhaps it was the morning light that shone on his face, or perhaps it was a man’s innate desire to conquer.

He suddenly made a decision.

Catherine was only his first step.

Next, he had to take one step at a time to reach the top of New York.

He was alone at the moment. He had no background, no support, and source of income.

At first, Kota only wanted to fulfill Catherine’s wish of getting laid.

After that, he would get the points, and whatever happened after that would not concern him.

But now, he had changed his mind.

A family like the Yings that opened casinos and entertainment outlets was having an enormous amount of cash in their hands.

What if he could annex Ying?

Catherine did not have to die, and Ying did not have to be liquidated. And everything would be his. Why not?

The thought was brewing inside him.

After a long while, Kota looked at Catherine and chuckled, “Miss Catherine, now that things have come to such a pass, let me be honest with you.”

“What?” Catherine was stunned.

Kota stood up. “I’ll share the information I have with you.”

“What information? What are you talking about?” Catherine was even more confused.

Kota took a deep breath. “Your bodyguard, Coster, is a traitor.”

“His actual name isn’t Coster but Atkins.”

“If you had not come to me and planned this trip to the hotel, you would have been kidnapped by Coster and Yan the next night.”

“Then, no matter what, Heaven’s Punishment would think that you are running away from the marriage.”

“Coster would announce to the outside world that you are missing—forever missing.”

Kota looked at Catherine emotionlessly. “If Heaven’s Punishment is humiliated, your grandfather will be finished, and Coster will take over all the business of Ying.”

He looked at Catherine’s shocked expression and continued. “And if you fall into Coster’s hands, you will be tortured, imprisoned, and become his plaything.”

Kota had compiled what he saw from Coster’s list of desires and told Catherine in one breath.

He could imagine what he said came as a bolt from blue for Catherine.

She was beyond shock.

She stared at Kota with her mouth agape. “You… who are you, you… what nonsense are you talking about?”

“You can treat what I said as nonsense,” Kota said. “But if Coster is really a traitor, then what do you think the success rate of his plan is?”

Before Kota told her this, Catherine had not really thought of that.

But now that Kota had told her, she started to feel that Coster seemed more and more like a traitor the more she thought about it.

“No wonder…” Catherine’s voice trembled.

“No wonder he suddenly said that I should go to the party yesterday. I thought it was an opportunity for me to run away. It turned out that it was his opportunity to abduct me.”

But then Catherine suddenly thought of something.

“Hold on a second. How did you know all this?”
