Novel1Chapter 588 Chapter 588: Earlier, Marissa had urged Connor not to get involved in the conflict between the Doomsday Base and the Peridot Consortium, mainly to protect him. The Peridot Consortium was notoriously tricky, with a mysterious and powerful boss behind it.
Nobody wanted to provoke such a force without good reason, and Marissa didn't want to drag Connor into trouble. Furthermore, she knew that Buwould defend Clarissa.
She didn't want Connor to feel awkward or have to fight against his close friend because of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn Connor's eyes, she saw herself as an outsider. One day she would leave, and she intended to exit as quietly as she had entered, without disrupting his life. But he still showed up. His presence made her feel cherished, and she realized how pleasant it was to be cared about.
Unaware that Lone Wolf was Connor, Silver Fox was puzzled by his sudden appearance. She leaned close to Marissa and whispered, "Do you have any issues with Lone Wolf?" Marissa initially wanted to tell her he was someone she owed a debt of gratitude to but felt embarrassed. Instead, she replied, "No." Silver Fox, hearing what Clarissa had said to Aelfric, wondered why Lone Wolf had no conflicts with either side yet still showed up. After a moment, Silver Fox asked in a hushed tone, "Is Lone Wolf here for the chip?" Your next chapter awaits at galno"No," Marissa responded.
Silver Fox looked puzzled. “How do you know?" "He's here for me," Marissa revealed.
Silver Fox was even more baffled. "Didn't you say there was no bad blood between you two?" Marissa smiled, leaned in close, and whispered into Silver Fox's ear, "He is Connor." "What?" Silver Fox's eyes widened.
After a brief pause, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Lone Wolf is Connor?" "Yes," Marissa said with a nod.
Silver Fox recovered from the shock, grinned, and playfully nudged Marissa's shoulder. "Your man really cares about you." Marissa gently pushed her and scolded in a low voice, "Knock it off." Silver Fox shot a knowing smile at Lone Wolf. She felt confident about winning now with Lone Wolf already present. Marissa would have the best chance of success with his assistance.
Standing before the crowd, Connor surveyed the scene and then turned his gaze towards Burnet. From the moment Connor appeared as Lone Wolf, Bulooked taken aback.
When Connor's gaze met his, Buquickly stepped closer and whispered, "Why are you here?" Connor didn't respond verbally. Instead, he cast a tender look toward Marissa.

He finally figured out that Black Mallow was Connor's recently married wife, though he mistakenly thought she was Tiffany from the Nash family. When he cto this conclusion, Buwas stunned. He turned back to Connor and asked incredulously, "How is that possible?" How could it be that Tiffany, widely regarded as ineffectual, was actually Black Mallow, the chief instructor of the Doomsday Base? Connor said softly, "In life, things that seem impossible can still occur." With this, Buslightly nodded. He now grasped the deeper meaning behind Connor's words earlier in the day. Connor understood that Buwould defend Clarissa, causing a rift in their friendship.
With this realization, Bucouldn't help but give a self-deprecatingm smile. He had never imagined that his support for Clarissa might cost him his friendship with Connor. He had stood by Clarissa out of gratitude, never intending to oppose Connor, who was like a brother to him. With a sigh, he let go of any bitterness.
Connor looked at him and said, "There's no need for regrets or sorrow. You act for the person you care about, and so do I. Neither of us is wrong. We should let our hearts guide us." Looking between Marissa and Clarissa, he added, “Their conflict should be resolved between them. If you want to intervene, you'll have to go through me." After a pause, he gazed intently at Buand continued, "Are we going to fight about this now?" Chapter 588 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
