Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 666:

They then lifted it carefully and set it on the roadside.

With everything set, Marissa urged, “Alright, guys, drive off. I’ll take my bike.”

The bodyguards moved quickly, not wanting to hang around longer than necessary. They piled into the car before the engine roared to life.

Nearby, Silver Fox cast a guilty glance at the suitcase, palms pressed together, and said, “Sorry, Burnet, it’s all a big misunderstanding. I’m sorry!”

“Quit trembling and get moving!” Marissa urged. “Burnet’s aren’t exactly the forgiving type. We need to scram now.”

With a jolt, Silver Fox snapped into action, diving into the car just as the bodyguard floored the accelerator. The vehicle sped off, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.

Marissa hopped onto her motorbike, following suit.noveldrama

But she didn’t go too far. Instead, she ducked into a nearby alley. Her fingers flew over her phone, erasing any trace of their presence on surveillance footage while keeping an eye on the scene.

She only breathed easy when Burnet’s team arrived and whisked him away. With the coast clear, Marissa headed back to Daniels Manor.

By the time she rolled into the driveway, dawn had begun to break, casting a soft glow over the manor.

Soon after she parked her bike, her phone buzzed with a message from Xander. “Chief Instructor, my brother was kidnapped from a hotel last night and got beaten up. After checking it out, we found traces linking it to the former mercenary queen, Black Snake!”

Burnet sure didn’t waste time. Marissa smirked, impressed by his efficiency. He’d already linked the incident to Black Snake.

“How is your brother now?” she typed back.

Xander’s reply was quick: “Injuries aren’t serious, just bruises. He’s safe, but his pride took a major hit! He’s ordered a complete media blackout. It’s a secret, but I’m telling you because I trust you!”

Marissa felt a twinge of guilt, touching her nose absently.

“So what’s your brother planning to do next?”

Xander continued, “That is the strange part. Given my brother’s sharpness, confidence, strength, and authoritative demeanor, I have no doubt he will address anyone who merely casts a hostile glance at him.

He was abducted this time, but listen, Chief Instructor. After regaining consciousness, my brother only requested an analysis of the spray he inhaled in his hotel room. He hasn’t done anything else and has been unusually secretive about the incident.

Could you assist me in understanding this, Chief Instructor? Why is my brother behaving like this? Is it possible he sustained a head injury and lost his faculties? But from what I see, he seems mentally intact. His mind remains sharp and lively.”

Marissa’s mouth twitched. It appeared Burnet knew that Silver Fox was responsible for the assault.
