LittleNovelChapter 610: "Mr. Alvarado, how did you adopt Kevin back then?" Marissa asked.
"That was fifteen years ago," Paul began with a nostalgic look in his eyes. “Back then, the Paul Group was an international trading company. I met Kevin on my cruise ship while I was on a business trip.
The security guards dragged a tattered boy from a corner and started beating him. When I saw this, I stepped in and saved him." He paused, recalling the scene vividly. "After sinquiries, I found he had sneaked onto the cruise ship. No one knew where he cfrom. He wouldn't say a word, so the security assumed he was a thief and a beggar trying to steal from the ship.
I felt sorry for him and took him with me. At first, he was very guarded and refused to say anything. Only after living withfor stdid he finally tellhe was a refugee from Blo Grein." The mention of "refugee from Blo Grein" struck Marissa deeply, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions within her. "Mr. Alvarado, do you have any photographs of Kevin during his younger years?” Lotest chapters in gl.☐☐☐ Although it had been only four years since she parted ways with Kevin, his image was etched in her mind, and she had never forgotten him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, she looked at Paul with great anticipation, hoping he could provide sphotos of Kevin as a child to confirm if Mr. G was indeed her brother.
However, Paul's expression turned apologetic. “No, Kevin has an eccentric personality. He never lets anyone take his photos and always wears a black mask. Even I have never really seen what he looks like." Disappointment washed over Marissa, but she quickly composed herself. This wasn't the end of her search. She still had Mr. G's contact information and could reach out privately when she returned.
Paul spoke again, his voice carrying a tone of reflection. “Kevin and Clarissa grew up together under my care, but they never quite saw eye to eye. From childhood fights to deep-seated hostility, as they grew older, their relationship becstrained.
Eventually, I had to let them find their own paths. The Peridot Consortium, founded with my backing, operates closely with me. Clarissa often acts on my behalf. However, the Rasetsu Group, Kevin's own creation, operates independently.
While I have a lot of knowledge and control over the Peridot Consortium, I have very little information about the Rasetsu Group and minimal influence over its affairs. Kevin keeps that part of his life private from me.” Paul looked up at Marissa and continued, "That's the extent of my knowledge about Kevin. For anything else, you'll have to speak with him directly." He smiled warmly and added, "I hope he turns out to be the person you're searching for. It would bring us even closer." "Alright," Marissa said as she returned his smile.
At that moment, Elvis burst into the room, his expression urgent and voice clipped. "Mr. Alvarado, Mr. Lone Wolf is on edge about Marissa. Our explanations aren't cutting it. If this keeps up, your identity could be exposed." Marissa wasted no tin replying, "Then I'm leaving." With a quick movement, she donned her black veil to obscure her features and stood up, ready to depart.
Exiting the inner room with Elvis, Marissa collided with Connor, who aggressively shoved past two guards to enter. The air crackled with tension as the tlocked eyes in silent recognition.
Connor immediately grasped the true identity of the enigmatic figure in the inner room. Letting out a sigh of relief, he turned to leave as Silver Fox and others also readied themselves to barge in.
After bidding farewell to Elvis, Marissa followed Connor outside. Outside of the cabin, the atmosphere was tense as Silver Fox and others stood ready for a confrontation with Paul's security detail.
Silver Fox approached Marissa cautiously, her voice lowered. "What's happening?" "We'll talk after we return," Marissa replied, her voice low and controlled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnderstanding, Silver Fox nodded. "And Clarissa?" "Leave her with her boss," Marissa instructed.
"And Aelitic?" Silver Fox pressed on.
"Leave him be as well. Let his guards save him. I'll issue a statement tonight, expelling him from the Doomsday Base," Marissa said firmly. m
Then she headed towards Connor's awaiting private plane with Mard and Terry following closely behind.
Silver Fox moved to join them, but before she could take more than a m few steps, someone grabbed her collar. She turned around and saw it was Burnet. With a sharp look, she asked, “Burnet, what do you want?”
