Catarina Mason, twenty-four years old, 5 foot 9 and eighty kilograms. She had black hair, purple eyes, and a pair of D cups. Her overall large stature made her two long legs seem even more toned and powerful. 

However, this woman’s legs were anything but ordinary. Her legs had been amputated after a devastating wound from a mine on a battlefield. After she became crippled, she risked her life to undergo bionic limb replantation, using science and technology to forcefully build herself a new pair of strong and sturdy legs. 

The bones in Catarina’s artificial legs were made of an ultra-high tensile strength titanium alloy, which was light, strong, and pliable. Her leg muscles were made of carbon nanotubes that ran on bioelectricity. 

Although the cultivated skin gave Catarina’s thighs the same texture and appearance as a regular person’s, in reality, her legs were almost three times stronger than an average human’s. She could even run a hundred meters within five seconds. 

With Catarina’s outstanding speed and agility, she became the first patrolling scout in David Lawrence’s team. She was the go-to whenever they needed someone to launch an ambush. With her lightning speed, she could dash away in a blink of an eye and leave enemies in her dust. 

Most people rarely used their legs in combat but Catarina was different. During the Catastrophe, her signature move was her devastating high kick. Whoever she kicked was doomed to a swift death, and people were unable to defend themselves against her inhuman speed and strength. Fighting her was not something anyone would fancy. 

Nevertheless, her strong legs were still not Catarina’s most prominent feature. The fierce woman was born into a military family. Her father used to be a member of the British Special Boat Service (SBS) while her mother was a Spanish war correspondent, and this led to Catarina being brought up in a military-like environment.

Under her father’s extreme and dangerous training, she grew into a female soldier and joined the British Army at the age of eighteen. However, she ran away after three months, tired of working behind a desk as nonmilitary personnel. Her escape resulted in a conviction by the British Army court-martial, and to this day, she was still a wanted person. 

After fleeing England, this bold lady joined her father in a mercenary troop and began traveling around war zones all over the world. One day, she eventually met David Lawrence on a battlefield and fell in love at first sight, which led her to follow David all the way to New York. 

Yes, indeed. Catarina was so madly in love with David Lawrence that she would do anything for him. Even after David Lawrence got married, she still continued to stick by his side like a tick. Her loyalty and infatuation to one man easily made people envious. 

However, David Lawrence had always kept a distance from Catarina. He even went so far as to relocate constantly to keep Catarina away, but it was to no avail. No matter where David Lawrence moved to, Catarina would without a doubt move into the same area within half a month. 

According to the setting in the movie, Rachel Connor despised this rival of hers. She never talked to Catarina whenever the big woman showed up, and she did not bother to be polite. On the other hand, Angie was extremely fascinated with this crazy admirer of her father, and so she built a decent relationship with Catarina. 

Catarina also made it clear on what she loved and what she hated, and she went to the extremes with her emotions. She was a beautiful woman who never bothered with cosmetics, and her hair was always kept in a tight bun at the back of her head. She rarely showed others her natural long, silky hair. 

Catarina lived in Brooklyn, New York. After spending all the money she earned from her mercenary days on surgery, she now lived in the city on a tight budget. The word on the street was that whenever she was short on funds, she would roam the streets in the middle of the night and the very next day, police would find the corpses of several gang members who had been mugged in dumpsters or street corners. 

Well, this lady was truly bold and fearless. She loved nothing more than to fight bad guys with their own shady tactics! 

Zhou Qingfeng was utterly stunned when this woman first appeared on the movie screen, the female soldier armed with a machine gun charged recklessly into a house guarded by gangsters. 

When the gangsters caught sight of her, she was still a hundred meters away so the guard took their time to calmly assess the situation. However, in a blink of an eye, she had closed the distance in a few strides and kicked the sentry so hard that he coughed out blood. Then, she charged into the house at full speed while waving the machine gun around, shooting everyone around her. Within ten seconds, the eight gangsters on guard duty were duly shot and bled to death. 

As for social interactions, aside from treating David Lawrence with a bright smile, Catarina never showed anyone else any courtesy. She was neither the most popular person nor was she exactly sociable. People either listened to her and obeyed her commands or outright ignored her. 

Anyway, after Zhou Qingfeng persuaded Lena to return to her hometown, David Lawrence brought him over to Catarina’s for an overnight trip. At the thought of staying under the same roof as this crazy woman, he nearly had a nervous breakdown. Who knew what kind of sh*t would this crazy woman stir up?

At the sight of David Lawrence standing outside her house at three in the morning, Catarina was surprised beyond words. She was wearing an army green short-sleeved T-shirt with a pair of shorts, and from the way her shirt was swaying perkily with two pointy tips sticking out, she was clearly not wearing a bra. 

“David, ahahaha… I was just dreaming of you and here you are! Are you here to ask me out on a date?” The moment the nymphomaniac saw her true love, her words and expressions became an exaggerated mush. 

David Lawrence offered her an awkward smile and decided to cut straight to the point and settle the matter as soon as possible. He pushed Zhou Qingfeng to the front and said, “Catarina, is it alright if a friend of mine stays with you for a while?” 

Catarina’s expression darkened immediately when she saw Zhou Qingfeng who had appeared out of nowhere. The disappointment on her face was evident and she did not bother to disguise it as she replied coldly, “David, you know I can’t say no to you. You can let this kid stay here with me as long as you need.”

“I’m so sorry for troubling you, but thank you anyway. Alright then… Goodnight, I’ll come and pick him up soon.” Perhaps Catarina’s gaze was too resentful, which was why David Lawrence avoided eye contact. Without even introducing Zhou Qingfeng, he hastily left after a mere few words. 

Staring at David Lawrence’s retreating figure, Catarina let out a heavy sigh. Then, she waved to Zhou Qingfeng and barked coldly, “Come in!”

Out of courtesy, Zhou Qingfeng decided to introduce himself. “Hi, Miss Mason, my name is…” 

Before Zhou Qingfeng could finish his sentence, Catarina waved him off. “You don’t need to tell me who you are. Not interested. I’ll get you food, shelter, and ensure your safety, but aside from that, don’t bother me with anything else.” 

‘Ha! I knew nothing good came out from this woman’s mouth. She doesn’t give a damn about anyone else.’

Catarina led Zhou Qingfeng to a small bedroom. She turned on the lights and pointed to the bed. “You’re restricted to just this room and the living room outside. Don’t stray off to any part of the house without my permission. Breakfast is served at six in the morning and not a second later. Alright then, go to bed, and remember not to make any noise.”

What a rough life!
