Chapter 735 Fergus’ Conspiracy

Catherine reached for the information Zobber handed her. She went through the information of the members of the Altonian Team.

She had to admit that there was indeed something great about the Altonian Team for them to be able to stand on the championship stage for so many years. Their team members were all the top players in this field at the moment.

Catherine laughed softly when she turned to the last page of the lead mentors.

She threw the information at Branden, signaling him to take a look.

Atticus, the former doctoral mentor of Ellinos Academy, was now serving as the Altonian Team’s lead mentor.

Branden did not look surprised when he saw the information.

He took out his cell phone and handed it to Catherine.

A video was playing on the phone screen. The main character in the video was none other than their old friend, Atticus.

Catherine gave Branden a suspicious look. “You already knew it?”

Branden raised his eyebrows lightly at Catherine, and a hint of amusement showed in his eyes. “Yes, I knew that a little earlier than you!”

Zobber stood at the side. Seeing Catherine and Branden eyeballing each other, she could not help but ask, ” What are you doing? What’s the good news? Share with us!”

“Nothing!” Branden and Catherine almost spoke in unison.

Seeing that the two were so taciturn, Zobber couldn’t help but grunt coldly, ” Having a partner is so great!”

Branden, who had always been a man of few words, took the initiative to respond to Zobber. As a result, his words were still full of flaunt. “It’s indeed great. Don’t you think so?”

Zobber was shocked. She didn’t expect the high and mighty Branden actually to have such a side.

She thought to herself somewhat helplessly, “I have no partner, but you can’t hurt me like this, can you?”

Branden and Catherine were both big shots. Zobber couldn’t afford to offend them, so she could only endure! “Yes, I think so. You guys continue showing off!”

Catherine had initially planned to have Ronin and the others keep an eye on Atticus. But from the expression on Branden’s face, she could tell that Branden should have arranged for someone to do that. This way, she wouldn’t have to make any more arrangements.

Branden saw Catherine’s weariness and directly ordered everyone out of the ward to let Catherine rest in peace.

Facing the deep darkness of the night, Marshall knocked on the door of Fergus ‘room.

Fergus was a little surprised to see him arrive. He froze for a moment before an awkward smile appeared on his face. ” Marshall, it’s so late. What brings you here? Could it be that you couldn’t sleep from the excitement of your team advancing and came to find me for a drink?”

Marshall looked at him with a frown on his face. “Come on. Stop saying those words. I’m all worried to death. Let’s have a chat. You help me analyze it!”

“Come in!” Fergus sidestepped and let Marshall into the room.

When Marshall sat down, Fergus poured Marshall a cup of coffee.

Then he took the initiative to ask, ” What’s the situation? Why are you still looking so glum? Didn’t your team just advance? Why don’t you look happy with such great news?”

“Do you want to be the champion?” Marshall looked at Fergus with a serious face.

Fergus was confused by his pressing look and sudden question. He cautiously sized Marshall up as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

He didn’t understand why Marshall was suddenly asking this question. He thought to himself, “Is he onto something? Or is it…”

After a few moments of silence, Fergus finally calmed down. He smiled awkwardly, with envy in his words. ” Who wouldn’t want to win the championship? It’s just that I don’t have the chance now.”

Marshall didn’t seem to see Fergus’s embarrassment. He clapped his hand and nodded in agreement.

He said, “That’s right. Even people like you who don’t like competition want to win championships, not to mention me. Fergus, I won’t hide anything from you since we’ve been colleagues for so many years. You want to win the championship, and so do I. This isn’t just a competition but also a scientific one. This is not an ordinary competition, but the Bide Cup, the pinnacle of scientific research! If I could win the championship, that would be great!”

Marshall’s vehement reaction was a secret relief to Fergus’ insides.

He had been speculating whether Marshall had found something, but now it seemed he had made the right bet. “Didn’t your team advance? You’re going to be involved in the championship fight next. What are you still worried about?”

“We both know how strong the Altonian Team is. Now that Catherine is sick, how can I not worry?” Marshall sighed deeply and had a worried look on his face.

“Don’t you still have Marlon? I’ve heard that this normally unimpressive kid on your team is as talented as Catherine,” Fergus said.

Although Fergus didn’t have the chance to go to the match that day, he had heard a lot lately about this new character on Marshall’s team.

He thought that Marshall was really lucky. Marshall’s team just got Catherine, and then the talented young man Marlon also joined.

Hearing Fergus mention Marlon, the expression on Marshall’s face grew more and more solemn. “He isn’t that good. He’s not even close to Catherine. If Catherine can attend, perhaps our team can compete with the Altonian Team, but if it’s Marlon, we will definitely lose.”

Watching Marshall’s extremely distressed expression, Fergus had a sudden idea. “Marshall…”

Fergus’s hesitant demeanor made Marshall anxious. “Fergus, we’ve been colleagues for so many years. If you have something to say, just say it. Or if you have any difficulties, say it too. I’ll definitely help you.”

Fergus felt a surge of self-satisfaction in his heart. His opportunity had finally come.

But he remained calm on his face and told Marshall, “Marshall, it’s not that I have difficulties. It’s that I want to help you!”

Marshall asked suspiciously, “Help me?

“Uh-huh!” Fergus nodded, then spoke his mind out. “I have a way to make Catherine attend. Would you like to try it?”

As soon as he said this, Marshall immediately looked at him with a shocked expression on his face. “You have a way? You’ve developed the antidote?”

“Sort of!” Fergus replied.

“What do you mean sort of?” Marshall instantly became anxious when he heard the ambiguous answer. He looked at Fergus with excitement on his face.

Fergus signaled him to take it easy and then explained the situation to him clearly. “I have developed this antidote, but it comes with a little side effect.”

Seeing that Marshall was about to get anxious again, Fergus took the lead and said, “Don’t worry. The side effect is minimal. It has no side effects other than making Catherine sleep a few more days after the match. I didn’t dare to give it to Catherine, and I think you know the reason… Catherine has Mr. Duncan with her, and Mr. Duncan won’t let Catherine take that risk. You are Catherine’s mentor. You should know how important it would be for Catherine if she could win this time and how brilliant her future would be after that!”

Looking at Marshall, who was deep in thought after hearing his words, Fergus understood that Marshall was in favor of his proposal. He urged, ” Marshall, it’s not too late!”

Marshall stared at Fergus and reconfirmed, “Does its side effect really just make her sleep for a few more days?

“I’ll bet my life on it!” On the surface, Fergus replied decisively, but on the inside, he was filled with joy.

He could guarantee Marshall would take the bait.

Not to mention Marshall, even if it were him, he wouldn’t hesitate to choose such a good opportunity in front of him. After all, it was human nature to chase after fame and fortune.

“Marshall, if you really don’t feel okay to make Catherine suffer the little side effect, why don’t you whisper this news to Catherine and let her make her own decision? But you must ask Catherine to keep it a secret and not tell anyone!”

“Okay!” Marshall agreed. “I’ll ask Catherine and then give you an answer.
