Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 141:

As Marissa sized up the burly man clad in black, Connor watched her discreetly. A slight twitch of her lips prompted him to chuckle and inquire, “What’s on your mind?”

Shifting her attention to Connor, Marissa asked, “Is he really Lone Wolf? Have you confirmed his identity?”

“Yes,” Connor replied with a nod. “Absolutely. It’s Lone Wolf, no doubt about it.”

Upon hearing this, Marissa gave the man another look, a wry smile crossing her face. Lone Wolf seemed to have been doing well these past few years; he had put on a fair bit of weight. She had encountered him briefly years before, and he had made a lasting impression with his lean and toned physique, much like Connor’s current appearance, not the bulkier figure he now presented. Marissa was initially skeptical about whether this was really Lone Wolf, but her doubts were dispelled by Connor’s confirmation

Trusting his judgment implicitly, she believed that with Lone Wolf there to safeguard Connor, she could proceed with her plans to meet Aelfric that evening without concern. Resolving to go, she climbed onto her motorcycle and told Connor, “I need to handle something tonight. You don’t need to stay with me.”

Connor looked taken aback. “Where are you headed?”

Marissa shot him a glance. “Do I need to report my every move to you?”noveldrama

As she donned her helmet, Connor’s expression turned to one of concern. “You’ve been in surgery all day. You must be worn out. Don’t you think you should get some rest?”

But Marissa had already kicked the motorcycle into gear. “There’s something tonight more urgent than sleep. Take care.”

As the motorcycle roared away, Connor watched her silhouette vanish into the distance and sighed softly to himself. Aside from knowing she was a village girl from Adagend and a miracle doctor named Riss, his knowledge about her was scant. She was so mysterious, akin to the wind that whirled around him—tangible yet elusive, with origins and destinations unknown. But thankfully, her name was recorded as his spouse, assuring him that no matter where she ventured, she would eventually return to him

The moment Marissa departed, a message from Aelfric reached Marc and Terry. Reading it quickly, Marc turned to Connor and began, “Mr. Daniels, Aelfric has set up a Doomsday Base branch in Blebert and has summoned us there tonight. He mentioned…”

Before Marc could complete his sentence, Domenic, brimming with impatience, cut in, “Everyone knows Mr. Daniels and Aelfric are sworn enemies. How can you meet with Aelfric in private?”

“Domenic, you’re mistaken,” Marc replied calmly. “Even though Aelfric holds the position of deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, that doesn’t bind us to his every command. Doomsday Base upholds a principle of autonomous professional growth. As long as we uphold the base’s integrity and do not contravene justice, Aelfric cannot intervene in our affairs, and we would certainly not betray Mr. Daniels on his account.”

Terry swiftly chimed in, “Should he leverage his role as the deputy chief instructor to compel us into actions that harm our employer, it would breach the base’s regulations. We would then have the option to take our complaint to either King or the chief instructor for resolution.”

“Why, then, are you going to meet him?” Domenic inquired. Suddenly, Marc’s and Terry’s faces lit up

“The chief instructor will be there!”

Connor turned to the two brothers. “Your chief instructor is in Blebert?”

Both nodded in confirmation. “The chief instructor is due to reach the Doomsday Base branch here tonight. Every member stationed in Blebert is expected to greet her. Being her greatest admirers, it’s only natural for us to meet her. This has nothing to do with Aelfric.”

Reflecting on Marissa’s recent departure, Connor told Marc and Terry, “You should go.”

“Thank you, Mr. Daniels!” Marc and Terry expressed their gratitude multiple times before departing eagerly. As Connor was about to head back to the Daniels Manor, his phone emitted a special alert. He promptly accessed the Dark Net and discovered a message from Black Snake addressed to Lone Wolf
