Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 583:

The more Silver Fox’s anger raged, the more she itched to hit him. Just as she moved to charge, the rumble of another helicopter echoed above them. Everyone’s heads snapped up.

Seconds later, the man in charge of Skytop Mansion shouted, thrilled, “Our president is back! Our president is finally back!” With his announcement, the staff hiding inside Skytop Mansion rushed out like children greeting their returning mother.

The man in charge laughed loudly. “The president is back. None of you will leave here unharmed.”

Marissa and Silver Fox glanced at the man in charge.

Standing next to Burnet, Xander eyed the man in charge. “You should watch out. When your president is beaten by Black Mallow and starts crying, you’ll regret this.”

The man in charge pursed his lips, not daring to challenge Xander.

Clarissa’s private plane landed on the ground with a growing roar. The door flew open, and Clarissa jumped out, flanked by a dozen tough-looking bodyguards.

She wore gray casual clothes and sneakers, her hair in a tight braid, ready for action. She looked murderous. Her bodyguards also appeared hostile. Clarissa’s eyes swept over the chaotic scene before her, her expression growing even more dangerous.

She marched up to Burnet and glared at Marissa. “Black Mallow, you’re asking for death.”

In stark contrast to Clarissa’s fury, Marissa remained calm and composed. She smiled faintly and said, “You’re wrong. I’m here to bring death to you.”

Clarissa laughed harshly. “At the Doomsday Base, I nearly killed you. Today, since you’ve come to my place, you won’t leave.”

“Then come and try,” Marissa taunted, her sneer clear. “You hid in the shadows and shot at me like a coward. Today, I’ve come openly to send you to hell.”

“Black Mallow, don’t be so full of yourself,” Clarissa snapped. “With Burnet by my side, it won’t be easy for you to take my life.”

Silver Fox scoffed, “Do you think I’m insane?”

Clarissa narrowed her eyes. “White Mallow?”

“Yes, it’s me,” Silver Fox declared coldly. “Don’t think Burnet can protect you. He’s powerless as long as I’m here.”

At that moment, another helicopter’s roar filled the air. Clarissa’s lips curled into a smile. “I’ve brought another ally. He’s the vice chief instructor from your base. Who can beat him besides Black Mallow? Now he’s here! Hahaha…”

Burnet’s eyes narrowed, but he said nothing.

Aelfric’s private plane soon touched down. He stepped out, followed by a team of bodyguards. With Aelfric’s arrival, the power balance shifted. Burnet, Clarissa, and Aelfric were all strong. Their bodyguards, sixty to seventy in number, were elite fighters.

Clarissa’s true identity was a secret to the outside world, as was Burnet’s link to the head of the Peridot Consortium. So, when Aelfric saw Burnet here, his initial nerves vanished, replaced by excitement.

Initially anxious about facing Black Mallow, Aelfric felt reassured by Burnet’s presence. Being on par with Black Mallow greatly boosted their chances of taking her down.

“Mr. Hoffman,” Aelfric greeted warmly.

Burnet only frowned, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face. Clarissa’s decision to bring Aelfric in was unexpected. Burnet disliked Aelfric and resented being on the same team as him. Had he known about Clarissa’s complicated connections, he might have refused her aid years ago, avoiding this debt.

Standing between Burnet and Aelfric, Clarissa lifted her chin defiantly. “Black Mallow, give me back the chip.”
