Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 544:

Connor chuckled at Burnet’s frustration. “Your younger brother is a student of Black Mallow. Why don’t you ask him instead of my bodyguards?”

Burnet replied with a sense of helplessness, “I can’t get any information from Xander. He might appear as carefree as ever, but he’s changed. He’s become lofty and unyielding since training with Black Mallow. No matter what I try, he refuses to divulge anything.”

A migraine began to form as Burnet sighed deeply. “To him, Black Mallow is now the most important person. I rank lower than her. If it came to a conflict, he would side with her without a second thought about our brotherhood.”
