Novel1Chapter 575:
Buwas always unflappable, unfazed even by a looming disaster. Clarissa, on the edge of her patience, raised
her voice over the phone while he listened in silence.
When she stopped her accusations, he responded in his usual calm manner, “Clarissa, | don’t know Black Mallow,
and | certainly didn’t lend her my private plane. There's clearly a mix-up. I'll look into it right away.”
With those words, he ended the call abruptly, not waiting for her reply. Immediately, he dialed his assistant to
delve into the issue.
It didn’t take long to uncover the truth. His private plane, last seen at the Crystal Hotel, had been stolen. The
prsuspect? His own brother, Xander.
The discovery left Buseething with rage. He longed to confront Xander and deal with him directly. Despite
Xander’s warnings to stay out of conflicts between the Doomsday Base and the Peridot Consortium, the audacity
of his brother to steal the plane was infuriating. Bucouldn't let this go.
Resolved, he phoned Clarissa again. “Clarissa, it was the Doomsday Base that took my plane. I'm heading to the
Skytop Mansion now. Don’t worry; you're safe as long as I'm around.”
During the wait, Clarissa had regained her composure. Listening to Burnet’s assurances, she felt a rush of relief
and remorse. “Burnet, I'm sorry. | let my emotions get the best ofand said things | shouldn't have.”

boarded his other aircraft and headed to the Skytop Mansion.
Clarissa, left with words unspoken due to his swift disconnection, felt a pang of disappointment. Burnet’'s manner
was invariably distant, dictated by a vow he once made to always protect her. He fulfilled her every need and
looked after her relentlessly, yet his demeanor remained detached.
Even as he spoke of providing strong support over the phone, his voice was devoid of warmth, as if he were
merely ticking a box on his to-do list. His protection was devoid of affection.
With a heavy sigh, Clarissa lamented the lack of emotional connection. Though she was securely under his wing,
the lack of warmth left her feeling empty and unloved. Yet, with the immediate threat to the Skytop Mansion, this
was no tfor personal grievances.
The threat posed by Black Mallow, backed by the entire Doomsday Base, was immense. Even with Burnet’s
personal involvement, the safety of the mansion was far from assured.
Clarissa turned her thoughts to Aelfric, someone she usually avoided and whose knowledge of her true identity
she closely guarded. Yet, given the dire circumstances, she had no choice but to seek his cooperation against
Black Mallow. She dialed Aelfric without hesitation.
Once the connection was made, she cut straight to the chase. “Aelfric, I'm the leader of the Peridot Consortium,
Clarissa Byrd.”
Aelfric, taken aback by the sudden call from the elusive leader of the Peridot Consortium, couldn’t hide his
surprise or his excitement. “Miss Byrd, you are finally willing to contactdirectly. I'm very happy.”
“Cut the crap!” Clarissa interjected sharply, her tone brusque. “Black Mallow is attacking my Skytop Mansion. |
want to use this chance to eliminate her for good. Are you in?”
Although Aelfric had been eyeing a chance to confront Black Mallow himself, his approach was marked by
caution.
Upon learning that Black Mallow had launched a sudden assault on Skytop Mansion, his initial reaction was
shock. Then, he narrowed his eyes and started to ponder the situation meticulously.
Black Mallow and her crew had
descended upon the Skytop Mapsjon.
