Chapter 012: Katerina

Katerina Raven, twenty-four years old, 1.82 meters tall, 80 kilograms, black hair, purple eyes, D-cup. Due to her tall stature, her long legs appeared straight and powerful.

However, this woman's legs were unusual. She had stepped on a landmine on the battlefield and both legs were amputated. But after becoming disabled, she underwent dangerous bionic limb transplant surgery to return to the battlefield, using biotechnology to give herself two super-powerful legs.

Katerina Raven's leg bones were made of high-strength titanium alloy - lightweight, sturdy, and extremely durable. Her leg muscles were constructed from carbon nanotubes, powered by bioelectricity.

Although artificially cultivated skin gave Katerina's legs normal human sensation and appearance, in reality her legs' strength and power were three times that of normal people, able to run 100 meters in just five seconds.

Due to her outstanding speed and quick reactions, Katerina Raven became the scout and point person in David Lawrence's team. Any mission requiring a sprint attack was her job. She could run so fast that she'd go from one end to another in the blink of an eye, making her nearly impossible to catch.

Normal people try to minimize using their legs in combat, but Katerina is different. During the Great Catastrophe, her signature move was kicking people, guaranteed to be accurate and lethal with each kick. Because she ran so fast and had such great strength, others found her impossible to defend against and extremely troublesome.

But her legs weren't Katerina's most distinctive characteristic. This fierce woman came from a military family - her father was a former member of the British SBS (Special Boat Service), and her mother was a Spanish war correspondent, which led to her being raised as a soldier from childhood.

After going through her father's extremely harsh, cruel, and dangerous training, this female soldier joined the British Army at eighteen. But she ran away after three months, saying that working a desk job in the military was too boring. The British military court unhesitatingly found her guilty, and her arrest warrant remains valid to this day.

After fleeing Britain, this fierce woman joined a mercenary group with her father, beginning to travel around conflict zones worldwide. Until she met David Lawrence in one battle and immediately fell in love, following him to New York.

Yes, Katerina Raven had a crazy infatuation with David Lawrence, willing to do anything for him, even staying by his side despite knowing he was married. This kind of devotion made others extremely jealous.

However, David Lawrence always kept his distance from Katerina Raven. He even kept moving houses to shake her off. But it was useless - no matter where David Lawrence moved, Katerina would inevitably move nearby within half a month.

According to the movie's setting, Rachel Connor extremely disliked this love rival, never speaking to her when they met and never showing her a friendly face. However, Angie was very interested in this woman who was madly in love with her father, and the two of them got along very well.

Katerina Raven's personality could be described as having clear loves and hates, quite extreme. Her appearance was very beautiful, but she never used any cosmetics. However, she had bright, shiny, very straight black hair that she always kept tied up at the back of her head, rarely showing it to others!

Katerina Raven lived in Brooklyn, New York. All the money she earned as a mercenary had been spent on her surgeries, which led to a rather tight financial situation in New York. It was said that when money was tight, she would go out at night, and the next day police would often find the bodies of several completely robbed gang members in garbage bins or street corners.

Indeed, this woman was incredibly daring, and her favorite activity was robbing other criminals!

In the movie, this woman's entrance scene even left Cyrus Greene stunned - a fully armed, extremely fierce, and cold beauty of a female soldier charging into a house fortified by gangsters with a machine gun.

When the gang's sentinel spotted her, she was still a hundred meters away. The sentinel thought they had time to respond. But in the blink of an eye, she had rushed over and kicked the sentinel so hard he coughed up blood, then charged into the house running at high speed while spraying machine gun fire. Ten seconds later, it was over - seven or eight gangsters inside were dead.

In her interactions with companions, Katerina Raven only smiled at David Lawrence and showed a cold face to everyone else, making her extremely unpopular. When communicating with her, you either did what she said or just ignored her completely.

In short, after convincing Lena to return to her hometown, when Cyrus Greene was delivered to Katerina Raven by David Lawrence in the middle of the night, thinking about having to live under this fierce woman's supervision, his heart was almost in despair. Who knew what kind of trouble this woman would cause?

When she saw David Lawrence appearing outside her door at past three in the morning, Katerina's joy was obvious. She was wearing a military green short-sleeve T-shirt and military pants. From the movement of her clothes and two protruding points, it was clear she wasn't wearing underwear.

"David, haha... I was just dreaming about you, and here you are! Are you here for a date with me?" This was how a lovesick woman behaved when seeing her crush, with exaggerated words and expressions.

David Lawrence smiled awkwardly and decided to cut to the chase and resolve the matter quickly. He pushed Cyrus Greene forward and said, "Katerina, I want a friend to stay at your place for a while, is that okay?"

Looking at the pushed-forward Cyrus Greene, Katerina immediately changed her expression, not hiding her disappointment at all. She coldly said, "David, you know I won't refuse any of your requests. This kid can stay at my place, for as long as needed."

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble, but still, thank you. Well... goodnight, I'll come pick him up in a few days." Perhaps because Katerina's gaze was too forlorn, David Lawrence seemed unable to resist. He didn't even properly introduce Cyrus Greene's identity, just dropped a few words and left.

After watching David Lawrence's figure disappear, Katerina let out a long sigh and beckoned to Cyrus Greene, saying coldly, "Come in!"

Out of politeness, Cyrus Greene still wanted to introduce himself, "Hello, Miss Raven. I'm..."

But before Cyrus Greene could finish, Katerina waved her hand and said, "You don't need to tell me who you are. I'm not interested in knowing your name. I'll be responsible for providing you with food, lodging, and basic security. Besides that, don't bother me with anything else."

Damn! I knew this woman would be difficult to deal with - she had no intention of acknowledging others at all.

Katerina led Cyrus Greene to a small bedroom, turned on the light, and pointed at the bed saying, "Your activity area is limited to this room and the living room outside. Other areas are off-limits without my permission. Breakfast is served at six o'clock, not a minute later. Now, get to bed, and no noise allowed."

What a miserable life!
