RedNovelChapter 552: Marissa had awakened to the gentle sound of Connor typing on his laptop. As her eyes opened, she noticed him deeply absorbed in his work. She made no sound, content to simply watch him. His presence had a calming effect on her, making her sleep more restful.
Despite her medical expertise, this phenomenon puzzled her. Perhaps a theological scholar could shed light on this mystery?

The first message was from Xander.
"Chief Instructor, my brother attempted to question Connor about Black Mallow's identity today but cback with nothing. He's quite upset."

Burnet's attempt to discover Black Mallow's identity likely indicated that Connor knew she was Black Mallow. With Connor's astute intellect, he probably deduced this already.
Feeling Marissa's scrutinizing gaze, Connor looked up and smiled. "What's wrong?" Marissa quickly averted her gaze and responded lightly, "Nothing." It was irrelevant whether he knew she was Black Mallow. As long as he did not meddle in her affairs with the Peridot Consortium, it was acceptable. His decision not to disclose her identity to Buindicated that he had not betrayed her.
She queried Xander, "Why does Buwant to know Black Mallow's identity?" Xander replied promptly, "For Clarissa's sake. Buis deeply concerned that Clarissa might suffer at the hands of the Doomsday Base, and he wants to meet with you, the Chief Instructor, to personally settle the matter. However, I informed him that negotiation is not an option." Marissa affirmed, "You responded correctly. Your message aligns with my stance. How did he react to that?" Xander responded, "He urgedto tell you that under his protection, no harm would cto Clarissa, not even from you, the Chief Instructor of the Doomsday Base. What should we do now, Chief Instructor? He will definitely interfere with our operations concerning Clarissa.

I'm quite intrigued to see who will emerge victorious." Marissa smiled as she replied, "The outcwill reveal itself when they clash. But right now, I have a task for you." "Chief Instructor, I'm ready for your instructions," Xander said.

I won't physically harm him out of respect for you, but I won't make his life easy either." "Understood," Xander replied.
"Monitor Burnet's private jet closely," Marissa continued. "We'll use it for our raid on Skytop Mansion. This move will not only throw Clarissa off but also inflict a financial hit on Burnet." Xander queried, "Should I cover arrangements for a backup pilot as well, Chief Instructor?"
"No need for that,” Marissa responded. "Both White Mallow and I can handle the piloting. Just secure En access to Burnet's jet." "Got it, Chief Instructor," Xander confirmed.
