NovelEnglishChapter 743: Marissa and Kevin were both taken aback when they laid eyes on each other. Marissa was astonished that the entrance to the private room, where the Rasetsu Group's leader was, lacked any form of security. She stepped inside unchallenged, her surprise deepening when she saw Kevin unmasked.

So caught up in her shock, Marissa failed to notice Connor's arrival. He slipped into Private Room No. 9 across the corridor, accompanied by the two children. As they settled down, Connor ordered an array of dishes for the children. Their door remained invitingly open, and they casually monitored the activity in the room across the corridor.
Back in Private Room No. 8, Marissa lingered by the door, her hesitance palpable. Kevin's evident surprise left her reluctant to approach. Thinking it sensible to introduce herself first, she cleared her throat awkwardly. "'Ahem!" Then, she said, altering her voice slightly, "Mr. G?" Though she was inclined not to be wary of Kevin, his refusal to acknowledge her prompted a cautious stance. Opting to conceal her identity for the moment, she played along with the misunderstanding. Kevin gave a slight nod before querying, "Are you Black Snake?" Nodding as well, Marissa confirmed, "Yes, I am Black Snake." Kevin fell silent. He regarded her intently, his gaze almost piercing. After a moment, his face broke into a chuckle. He gestured towards the chair across from him. "Please, take a seat," he invited warmly.

Kevin responded with disarming honesty, "I never pictured Black Snake as a woman-let alone one so elegant and stunning." Marissa's laughter tinkled through the room, light and playful. "Well, Mr. G, I'll accept the compliment on my elegance with pride. But stunning? That's a bit disingenuous, don't you think?" Considering she was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, he couldn't see her features, so saying she was stunning seemed insincere.

Marissa paused, taken aback by his smooth words. Kevin had a knack for charming women-a stark contrast to the irritable youth she remembered, who seemed to be perpetually at odds with the world.
She hadn't anticipated that being raised by Paul would shape Kevin into such a refined gentleman, and his eloquence would evolve so impressively. As she pondered this in silence, Kevin, with a playful tone, inquired, "So what were you surprised about?" Marissa responded candidly, "I was surprised that the leader of the Rasetsu Group ventured out alone, didn't post guards, and freely showed his face." Of course, she was also surprised by another fact, but she was too sheepish to say it out loud-his striking looks and the refreshing, distinct aura he carried. Earlier that day at the Peridot Consortium, he had worn a mask, concealing his features, and only his tall, strong build was apparent. Now, seeing his finely chiseled features up close, she was in awe of how her brother had matured into such a handsman.
In their childhood at the refugee camp, where everyone donned worn clothes and Kevin navigated daily through ruins and blasts, his face smeared with grime, she couldn't have imagined his face being so attractive. Oblivious to her internal compliments, Kevin responded earnestly, "I avoid those bothersbodyguards on my outings. As for revealing my true face here..."
