Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 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.

Instead, she has assigned the mission to Remy, a lower-tier member. Remy mingles in the underworld networks, familiar with individuals from various backgrounds. 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.”
