Novel1Chapter 544: Connor chuckled at Burnet's frustration. "Your younger brother is a student of Black Mallow. Why don't you ask him instead of my bodyguards?" Bureplied with a sense of helplessness, "I can't get any information from Xander. He might appear as carefree as ever, but he's changed. He's beclofty and unyielding since training with Black Mallow. No matter what I try, he refuses to divulge anything." A migraine began to form as Busighed deeply. "To him, Black Mallow is now the most important person. I rank lower than her. If it cto a conflict, he would side with her without a second thought about our brotherhood." The irritation was palpable as Bucontinued, his voice tense. "I never thought the day would cwhen he'd turn againstfor someone else. I've thought about confronting him physically to change his mind, but I can't bring myself to do it. I can't just break his legs or worse, can I?" Connor laughed, not at Burnet's plight but at the influence of his village girl. Mare and Terry had proudly declared themselves her fans, and Connor was amazed that Xander, previously so haughty and bold, was now utterly devoted to her.
Misunderstanding the reason for Connor's laughter, Bufelt slighted. "Stop laughing at me, will you? You've laughed enough at my expense today." Connor, unable to explain that his amusement stemmed from thoughts of Marissa, simply subdued his smile and responded, "It wouldn't make sense to call Mare and Terry here for you to question them about Black Mallow."

If you couldn't get an answer from Xander, you won't from Mare and Terry either." After a brief pause, he added, "You couldn't bring yourself to harm your brother, so why think you could force my bodyguards to betray Black Mallow? Don't waste your time. They'd rather die than tell you the truth." Bulooked puzzled. "Why are you so sure?" Connor sighed. "Burnet, you're known for your wisdom and courage. I didn't expect such a naive question from you. Doomsday Base is a forge for warriors. Your brother transformed there, as did Mare and Terry, who were top trainees.
Do you think they'd be less loyal than Xander? Also, they're die-hard fans of Black Mallow. They would never betray her under any pressure you could apply." Busighed deeply. "Is Black Mallow really that charismatic?" Bugazed at Connor intently. "Connor, I have no intention of declaring war against Black Mallow. I want to negotiate with her before any conflict arises. If Clarissa owes them money, I'm ready to settle her debts.
Whatever the grievances, I'll handle them on Clarissa's behalf. It doesn't matter if Mare and Terry are reluctant to reveal who Black Mallow is. Please call them over. I'll explain my intentions and ask them to convey my message to her." Connor responded, still amused, "Why not have Xander relay your message? Why involve my bodyguards?"
Bulet out a weary sigh. "Before I chere, I had an argument with Xander. He dismissed the idea, m saying the chief instructor wouldn't consider negotiating with me. He toldit was a matter between Doomsday Base and Peridot Consortium and that I should stay out of it as an outsider."
Anger flashed in Burnet's eyes as he clenched his jaw. "That damn Xander! thing that damnxander! Just seeing him makeswant to punch him."
Connor chuckled and shrugged. "If Xander was reluctant to pass on your message, I doubt Mare and Terry will be any different. Have you wondered why they are so resolute?"
