NovelEnglishChapter 878: The ship was a massive, opulent vessel, bustling with activity. The deck was brightly lit, its lights shimmering against the night. As the jet began landing, Marissa looked out and saw a crowd awaiting her arrival. An elderly man with gray hair led the group, flanked by people in white gowns and bodyguards in sharp black suits.
Marissa squinted through the window, trying to determine if the gray-haired man was Q. Her father had mentioned that Q was around sixty, but she hadn't expected him to look so aged. Therefore, she doubted he was Q.

"Yes, indeed." The old man nodded.
Marissa couldn't help but give Q a once-over. Life at sea clearly hadn't been kind to him. At sixty, he looked far older than his years, with sparse, thinning hair and a frail appearance. It seemed that his obsession with longevity had taken its toll on him.

I worked alongside your father, so it's appropriate that we call each other by our first names. But if you prefer sticking with Q, that's fine too. It's all just trivial details."

His gaze grew steely, and despite his grin, an unmistakable aura of menace surrounded him. The implication was clear: if Marissa could prove she was Riss, he would honor his promise and treat her as a valued guest. If she failed, he would unleash his wrath.

He replied leisurely, "Dr. Riss is renowned for her exceptional skills in medicine and surgery, and she's celebrated as the top surgeon. I'll test your surgical prowess today."

"Ah!" A cry of pain filled the air as the man collapsed, blood rapidly pooling around him. Everyone recoited in horror, but Marissa stood still, her face calm and unflinching. Q had plunged the dagger deep into his subordinate's heart, clearly intending to kill
