Chapter 390:

Xander gained entry into Doomsday Base because of his grandpa’s friendship with Zyair. He interacted with the top brass at the base, Zyair took him under his wing, and later, Marissa took over.

The tense undercurrents between Aelfric and the chief instructor, Black Mallow, only fueled Xander’s animosity towards him.

Xander’s voice oozed contempt whenever he spoke of Aelfric. At the moment, Xander mentioned he was going to report a secret about Aelfric, causing Marissa to look up sharply. “What is it?” she asked quietly.
