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.”

The irritation was palpable as Burnet continued, his voice tense. “I never thought the day would come when he’d turn against me for someone else. I’ve thought about confronting him physically to change his mind, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I can’t just break his legs or worse, can I?”

Connor laughed, not at Burnet’s plight but at the influence of his village girl. Mare and Terry had proudly declared themselves her fans, and Connor was amazed that Xander, previously so haughty and bold, was now utterly devoted to her.

Misunderstanding the reason for Connor’s laughter, Burnet felt slighted. “Stop laughing at me, will you? You’ve laughed enough at my expense today.”
