NovelEnglishChapter 391: Upon hearing Xander's query, Marissa furrowed her brows, pondering for a moment before responding, "Clarissa is unaware of Black Mallow's identity, which frightens her. She's determined to find Black Mallow and delve into her background.
This knowledge will arm her against potential threats. However, she's worried we've already found out her theft at the Doomsday Base. As a result, she hesitates to reach out to Black Mallow herself or use any high-ranking officials of the Peridot Consortium for this task.

His involvement is unlikely to raise suspicions, especially from the Doomsday Base." After laying out her analysis, Marissa turned to Xander and inquired, "Is that correct?" Xander nodded in agreement, adding, "You've got it mostly right. But you've missed part of Clarissa's true motive." galnovs.☐☐☐ brings great stories Intrigued, Marissa looked at him directly and asked, “And what might that be?" Xander replied gravely, "Her actual plan is to covertly assassinate Black Mallow." Marissa's expression turned to one of surprise as she processed this revelation, waiting for Xander to elaborate.
He went on, "Clarissa is not only skilled in combat, but she is also deeply envious. She cannot tolerate the presence of any woman who might rival her in strength. For Clarissa, Black Mallow represents a threat that must be eliminated." Marissa chuckled, somewhat amused. It was unexpected to her that another woman could harbor such intense jealousy, to the point of contemplating murder, despite having never met her.
"Yet, Clarissa excels in concealing her true intentions," Xander remarked, hinting there was more to the story. "Almost no one who works for Clarissa can decipher her true motives or what's going through her mind.
Because they struggle to gauge their boss' mood and Clarissa is so ruthless, her subordinates live in a constant state of anxiety." Marissa, her curiosity piqued, asked, "If she's so skilled at concealing her intentions, how did you figure out she plans to kill me?" "Her weakness is my brother, Burnet." Xander shrugged with a wry smile, “Clarissa is infatuated with him and dreams of marrying him. I've always played the role of the cynic or disinterested observer, which makes her let her guard down around me. That's how I've managed to uncover sof her secrets.” Marissa nodded, the pieces falling into place.

"Why not?" Marissa pressed.

"I'm not sure yet," Xander answered, shaking his head before going into detail. "I have eavesdropped many times on Clarissa's phone conversations, where she respectfully addressed the other party as 'Boss.'
Since she holds significant sway over the Peridot Consortium, she seldom involves her superior.
major However, for e decisions, she consults her boss. From what I've gathered, this boss is formidable, possibly a major player on the world stage." Marissa nodded in agreement. "You're right. We shouldn't make any hasty moves."
She gave Xander a reassuring pat on the shoulder, "You've really made sprogress since leaving the Doomsday Base. Infiltrating the Peridot Consortium and gathering all this information? Well done!"
"Haha!" Xander grinned, basking in the praise. He then said playfully port "Chief Instructor, after report another critical piece of information, do I earn more accolades?" Raising an eyebrow, Marissa prompted, "And what might that be?"
