Curse the Mainframe! 425 Killing Them So Easily

While the teen who had been almost assaulted panicked as she tripped in the woods behind her, her heart pounding quickly as she thought about how she was returning to the almost-crime scene, she was instead more worried about Katherine who had comforted a stranger.

Even if she wasn't a stranger to Jae.

She might not be very strong, but at least she was fast and light on her feet. She hardly made any sounds as she ran through the woods.

Meanwhile, Katherine was charging forward, but her steps were still as silent as could be, making no sounds at all in the dense woods. She didn't step on a single branch nor did any leaves rustle.

It could be seen that Katherine was very accustomed to moving about in places like this stealthily. It could only be said that she had spent a long time training herself in stealth.

She soon heard sounds of people complaining and moving around without any sense of stealth whatsoever.

It could be seen from how the wildlife quietened down whenever they passed by, leaving the forest silent with only their loud stomps and words around.

Katherine frowned fiercely, a murderous light appearing in her eyes. How dare they come here to her clan's territory and make trouble?

They even dared to try and rape someone? Kidnap someone?

Did they think that her Klein Clan was dead? Had they been too kind lately, that these lowly and pathetic bandits dared to enter her clan's vicinity and make trouble?

Or was there something deeper than what was seen on the surface?

Anger was boiling deep within Katherine, but she hid her killing intent deep inside her. She might not be the smartest in her clan, but she had at least some judgement. The only time her judgement had been clouded was when she made a move on Alec, her anger clouding her.

The words that she heard coming from them made her blood boil even more.

"I can't believe you let her get away. She was such a good catch."

A snort. "Fourth Brother, you're talking nonsense. Aren't you the one who wanted to play with her the most?"

"Yeah, Fourth Brother, weren't you the one who wanted to play around so much that she ended up getting away?"

Fourth Brother cursed; his face terrifyingly ugly. From the way that the other three were teasing him, they could see that the fourth brother was the one who was picked on the most.

"Who would have known that bitch would have such good escaping abilities? No, I'm unreconciled. We have to get her back. Goods like that don't come around often."

Katherine didn't need to hear anymore. Anymore, and she would directly explode before she managed to make her move.

As she studied the strengths of the apparent bandits who were kidnapping – and even raping people, her eyes were filled with a cold, murderous light.

Her ears perked up again when she heard the sound of someone approaching. It was the girl who had thrown herself into her arms earlier, crying with such terror and helplessness.

Katherine's lips twitched.

She had actually foolishly come back to look for her?

Katherine frowned at the thought.

Foolish girl!

But there was a part of Katherine that bit her lips secretly, her brows furrowing. She didn't reveal herself and instead waited.

She could take care of all these thugs no problem, but if she had a distraction, then she would be able to take care of them with less chance of failure.

The teen girl froze when she caught sight of the thugs who had previously tried to kidnap and rape her, but she glared at them from a distance and turned around swiftly, running. She tried not to catch their attention.

She could see that Katherine was not here, so she shouldn't have encountered the thugs yet.

They had already made it quite far from the distance that she first appeared.

Seeing how Katherine wasn't here, she should be safe.

In that case, what Jae had to do now was run towards town. Once she was there, they wouldn't be able to find her again.

Besides, it wasn't like she was a targeted capture in the first place. They had just stumbled across her.

However, she must have made some sound, because the thugs' eyes sharpened as they shouted, "There she is! Catch her!"

"Haha! You actually came back for us? How nice!"

They started run after the teenager with flowing hair and a tattered dress, Katherine's eyes sharpened.

Just as they were about to use some methods to chase up to her, Katherine's figure flashed out, startling all of them.

The four men were initially startled, but in that micro-second when they saw that it was just another weak-looking girl, their lips involuntarily curled into a grin.

There was only one beauty in front of them, but now there were two!

Instantly there were lascivious grins on their faces, but that only made Katherine narrow her eyes in disgust and contempt.

Before they had any chance to do anything, she'd already struck out, taking advantage of their loss in control and taking two of them down at once.

By the time the other two widened their eyes, something suddenly clicked in their mind.

Looking at her graceful and slender figure, her muscles were firm and taut, and her face was stunning.

But that wasn't the thing that caught their attention.

Red eyes and jet-black hair. Wasn��t this a Klein Clan member?!

Panic was lit inside them. Not good!

Without caring about the two brothers who were struck out cold, they quickly turned around and fled in different directions, no longer caring about friendship or brotherhood.

It was clear to see that they were selfish individuals at heart who didn't have loyalty and friendship in their mind. Their survival was number one in their mind and they wouldn't hesitate to abandon each other.

In their opinion, splitting up would increase the chances of their survival.

Katherine sneered.

She took a brief look at Jae, making sure that she wasn't hurt, before she ran after the one that was running quicker.

The man turned back and whipped out a few daggers, which Katherine dodged low under. The dodging didn't affect her speed at all, which made the man swear. He gritted his teeth and pushed himself harder, but Katherine shot out and grabbed one of the daggers from mid-air, stabbing it into his calf.

The man let out a sharp yell as he collapsed.

Katherine sneered and turned back, dispatching the other slower running man with ease.

He died without a single sound, his eyes filled with grievance and regret.

Katherine went back to the other man with his calf still pierced. He'd taken out the dagger and was running again, but he couldn't stem the blood flow, and he left a trail behind.

The Sin knocked him out with a chop to the back of his head.

She dragged the body of the man with her and killed all three of them, including the other two unconscious ones, in front of Jae.

Katherine briefly felt that they had gotten off much too easily, but she still killed them in case leaving them alive would leave a shadow in the girl's heart.

She looked at Jae, wondering if she would start crying again, but she realized that the girl was looking at her with shiny eyes. She could practically see a flower backdrop from the brightness and sparkles of her smile.

Katherine was surprised. "You're not scared?"

"Scared?" Jae repeated, scoffing. She stuck out her tongue. She tilted her chin up. "Hmph. They've already been taken care of you, and I'll never show mercy to someone who wants to kill me."

Katherine nodded with approval. This was the kind of thinking that she approved of. If she still had some reservations after she'd almost been hurt, she would have disdained her.

"Thank you," Jae said, her eyes soft and gentle as she looked at Katherine. "My name is Jae. Jae Lerve."

"Hm. Katherine Klein."
