Chapter 460: After listening to Marissa, Xander paused for a moment. Being a member of the Hoffman family, and with Buas his brother, Xander had many things to consider. But he soon looked up and explained, "Chief Instructor, in fact, earlier today, my brother noticed that I was intentionally introducing you to Clarissa.
He suspected it had something to do with the Doomsday Base.
However, he didn't realize you were Black Mallow, the chief instructor there. The reputations of Tiffany and Black Mallow are so different that most people wouldn't make the connection. When you and Clarissa went to the restroom, my brother pressedto reveal our plan.

He even mentioned he might oppose me." Marissa nodded, her expression unchanging. She had anticipated much of what Xander shared. As a former international special forces soldier, Buwas smart and had seen the world.
Since he knew Xander belonged to the Doomsday Base, it was likely he'd guess the reason behind their meeting with Clarissa was connected to the base.
That was why Marissa summoned Xander tonight. She needed to understand his thoughts and which side he would choose between the Doomsday Base and Burnet. If Xander sided with Burnet, she would have to dismiss him from the base and exclude him from missions.

"What was your position then?" Marissa asked.
"I told my brother that I wouldn't blhim if he sided with my enemy for Clarissa's sake," Xander replied. Marissa glanced briefly at him.
Xander continued, "I explained to him that our involvement with Clarissa is linked to the Doomsday Base, but it doesn't concern the Hoffman family. I'm not backing out. I'm committed to the Doomsday Base. It's my duty and honor." Marissa considered his response and said, “I know you would, Chief Instructor. But the Doomsday Base benefits me. I'm trying to choose." He sighed, then added, “Just hope that if our sides clash, my brother and I don't face each other. He's my big brother, and I don't want to hurt him." Marissa patted Xander's shoulder in comfort. "I won't let it cto that." After a silent moment, she asked, "Why do you prioritize the Doomsday Base over your relationship with your brother?" "It's not that I care more about the Doomsday Base than my brother," Xander explained. "When I was a carefree boy, I seemed happy on the outside, but deep down, I felt incredibly empty.
The more people praised me, the worse I felt. I struggled to find meaning in life every day.

Should anyone threaten its interests, I'll stand up to defend it, even if it means risking my life. I never imagined that the Doomsday Base I cherish could one day be at odds with my brother. However, that doesn't change my stance.

Marissa patted Xander on the shoulder again, expressing her m approval of his loyalty. She knew her efforts in training him were not in vain.
