Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 546:

Connor had harbored this secret deep within himself for a long time, never sharing it with anyone. He hadn’t taken it seriously before, believing it had no real effect on his life.

Yet, everything changed when he discovered Marissa was Black Mallow, the chief instructor at Doomsday Base. Suddenly, the secret took on immense significance, leaving Connor bewildered.

The secret was tied to his martial arts teacher, Kristine Peny. When he was three years old, his grandmother enrolled him in martial arts classes with Kristine, a young and vibrant woman of just thirty.

Connor had always assumed Kristine would eventually marry and have children. But now, passing fifty, she remained single and had never dated.

Throughout her life, Connor was her sole student. Kristine imparted every skill she knew to him and treated him like her own son. Thanks to her devotion, Connor grew up under her protection, thwarting any attempts on his life. He viewed Kristine as a second mother, and their bond was strong.

When he was eighteen, Kristine chose to live in seclusion and avoid all contact with others. Before she withdrew, she made a request of him, which he accepted without a second thought.

Kristine expressed her joy at his promise but sternly cautioned him that breaking his word would mean no longer being her student. She would personally come to dismiss him and sever their ties.
