Chapter 574: Seeing that all the bodyguards outside the mansion were on the brink of being annihilated, the man in charge turned as pale as a ghost. He urgently summoned the bodyguards within the mansion for reinforcements and frantically called Clarissa.
When he finally reached Clarissa, he stammered, "Madam, there's trouble! The... the Skytop Mansion is under attack!" Clarissa, clearly not expecting an attack on her mansion in the dead of night, responded with a voice as sharp as a knife, "By whom?" "Five people," the man in charge replied, his voice trembling. "Three men and two women, all masked. They're incredibly skilled, beating our guards to a pulp. If this keeps up, the Skytop Mansion is doomed." As he gave his report, he recorded a live video and sent it to Clarissa.

He scrutinized the attackers again and finally confirmed that the person clad in black, with her face covered by a black veil, was indeed Black Mallow.

The man in charge had only heard tales of Black Mallow's fearsreputation, but today he witnessed her prowess firsthand. He could only watch as Black Mallow effortlessly kicked away the bodyguards who dared to confront her, sending them flying like soccer balls.
When they hit the ground, they writhed and groaned in pain, resembling zombies.
The man in charge, trembling with fear, collapsed to the ground. He stammered, “Wh-wh... What do we do now?" Clarissa hadn't anticipated Black Mallow launching an attack on Skytop Mansion in the dead of night. She was at a loss for a solution.
Fuming, she berated the man in charge, "I chose Skytop Mansion for the experiments because I believed it was a fortress, easy to defend and hard to breach. How on earth did you let this happen? If you'd been more vigilant, Black Mallow would've never gotten close!" The man in charge, sounding deeply aggrieved, replied, "Madam, we didn't slack off. The moment we spotted the plane above Skytop Mansion, we geared up for defense. But then we realized it was Mr. Hoffman's private plane, so we let it land." "Burnet?" Clarissa echoed in disbelief. "Are you certain it's his plane?" "Absolutely!" the man in charge insisted. “Madam, I know this plane well. Mr. Hoffman used to pick you up with it." He sent a picture of the private plane to Clarissa. After scrutinizing the photo, Clarissa murmured in confusion, "Why would Bulend his plane to Black Mallow? Is he colluding with the Doomsday Base against our Peridot Consortium?" Glancing at the unfolding battle, the man in charge urgently reported, "Madam, the situation is dire. We're about to lose Skytop Mansion. Please cback quickly! We need you here!" Ignoring his pleas, Clarissa dialed Burnet's number. As soon as the call connected, she snapped, "BuHoffman, what's this about? Why are you doing this?" It was the first tshe'd ever spoken to Buso harshly or called him by his full name. This completely shattered the gentle image she'd always projected to him.

"You're asking me?" Clarissa shot back. "It's fine that you don't feel the sway aboutand refuse my advances. But why use my feelings to team up with the Doomsday Base and setup?" "Clarissa, I honestly don't know what you're talking about," Bureplied calmly.
"Don't play dumb with me," Clarissa said, her agitation growing. "Black Mallow took your private plane and deceived my people. She's now at Skytop Mansion, fighting my men. Are you seriously going to act like you had no idea?
Burnet, I care about you. I've been chasing after you for years, only to have you and Black Mellow.conspire el against me. It's so disappointing! Tell me, are you in love with Black Mallow? Is that why you teamed with her to attack my mansion?"
