?Chapter 200:


    When Marissa saw Connor’s face on her phone screen, she was momentarily taken aback, thinking something was wrong. It took her a few moments to realize that Connor was actually Him. Meanwhile, Connor experienced a simr shock upon seeing Marissa’s face. After verifying a few times, he finally pieced together that Bee, the person he had been envying, was actually Marissa


    Marissa was seething with anger. She had infiltrated the Warren Group’swork to protect Connor from any harm Aelfric might inflict during their trip on the Sunrise. Yet, Connor had been shing with her using another identity all this while, wasting her precious time. At that moment, the Warren Group’s system didn’t reveal that Bee and Him had breached each other’s defenses simultaneously, revealing their identities to one another. This left Aelfric and the other executives on edge, uncertain of how long this standoff would persist


    Suddenly, the dialogue between Bee and Him shed on the screen again


    Bee snapped, “Are you out of your mind? Fuck off!”

    Him responded, “I’m sorry. I’m leaving now.”


    The very next second, Him vanished from the screen. Immediately, every screen in the Warren Group went dark. Aelfric and the senior executives were left bewildered. What just happened?


    Aelfric turned to Ewing for some clue. Staring at the dark screens, Ewing announced, “Him lost.”


    Aelfric was rendered speechless. The room filled with senior executives was engulfed in shock. Could this signal the downfall of the Warren Group?


    Taking a deep breath, Aelfricmanded, “Verify if thework is back up.”


    Ewing powered up theputers to check. “Mr. Warren, allputers and thework are operational again, but…”


    “But what?” Aelfric pressed, his brow furrowed


    “It’s best if you see for yourself.”


    On the screen, Bee’s words appeared: “I’m tired today. I’ll spare yourpany for now. After some rest, I’ll return.”


    A wave of frustration washed over Aelfric as he clenched his fists. Bee’s arrogance was palpable. This person had triumphed over Him today but chose to spare the Warren Group merely because he was tired? Once he was refreshed, he would surely return. This threat would hang over the Warren Group like a looming sword, unpredictable and menacing. They could be thrust into chaos again at any moment. He needed to remain at thepany constantly


    With a grim resolve, Aelfric pulled out his phone and sent a message to Neil: “Cancel the n on the Sunrise.”


    Neil was swamped withints online, leaving him no time to go to the Sunrise himself. He quickly responded with a brief, “Okay.”


    Once Neil was informed, Aelfric sent a message to ck Snake: “I’m sorry, ck Snake. I’m tied up with something and can’t make it to the Sunrise. We’ll have to cancel our agreed cooperation.”


    As Marissa stepped out of her car, she read Aelfric’s message and taunted, “Mr. Warren, are you seriously going to cancel such an important cooperation? What’s the trouble this time? Has your wife eloped, or is your family going bankrupt?”


    Already in a foul mood, Aelfric seethed at ck Snake’s taunts. Knowing he couldn’t afford to retaliate, he restrained himself and simply replied, “Sorry.” Unsatisfied, ck Snake shot back, “Mr. Warren, didn’t you previously say that it was the Doomsday Base that would coborate with me? Now you’re canceling the coboration just because you are tied up with something? Is there no one else who can step in? It seems like you were using the organization as a cover for your personal vendettas, weren’t you?”


    Aelfric chose not to respond to that usation. But ck Snake pressed on. “What will happen if I discuss this with your chief instructor, ck Mallow? What will be your fate then?”


    Fear gripped Aelfric’s heart. “ck Snake, we’re friends. If our coboration doesn’t work out this time, there’s always next time. Please, there’s no need to escte this.”
