Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 548:

The instant Connor laid eyes on Marissa, he felt a strong urge to impress her, his smile tinged with caution.

He had just discovered that the chief instructor of the Doomsday Base, known as Black Mallow, was none other than his own wife. Black Mallow’s identity was one of great significance, commanding respect from countless influential figures. Her title was even more daunting than that of the mercenary queen, Black Snake.

Although Black Snake was a famous and feared figure, she was a solitary hero, lacking the support of a formidable force, which made her seem less influential in comparison.

On the other hand, Black Mallow was set to inherit the leadership of the Doomsday Base and one day command one of the most powerful martial arts organizations in the world.

In essence, Black Mallow had the loyalty of many Black Snakes, each ready to follow her orders. If Black Snake was akin to a valiant female general, then Black Mallow was akin to a queen who reigned over many such generals. Thus, challenging such a woman seemed unthinkable.

Before meeting Marissa, Connor could never have imagined that the woman he had married held such tremendous power. The realization was so astonishing that it bordered on surreal.
