?Chapter 215:


    As Marissa spoke, the imposter 0987 trembled with intensity. Elvis, looking puzzled, turned to her. “Mrs. Daniels, what’s wrong?”


    Marissa gestured at the imposter 0987. “I want him alive. Captain Williamson, what are your terms?”


    Elvis gave the imposter a quick nce and then, looking displeased, confronted Marissa. “Mrs. Daniels, are you confessing that you orchestrated the assassination attempt on Amiri?”


    Before Marissa could answer, the imposter 0987 eximed, “I don’t know her!” He red at Marissa, scolding her, “Mind your own business! Get lost! I don’t know you!”


    At that moment, Marissa was almost driven to madness by Landen. She had known he was Blue Wind for a while and had tried to protect him by forbidding him from joining the assassination attempt on Amiri. Yet, he had shown up, determined to act the hero. He mistook her for Tiffany and didn’t want to drag her into his mess, but how could she just stand by and watch him risk his life? Marissa shot Landen a re, then turned back to Elvis, managing a smile. “Captain Williamson, I indeed nned the incident with Amiri. This young man was merely carrying out orders. If you have any issues, direct them at me and spare him.”


    “Tiffany, stop this nonsense! My actions have nothing to do with you. You need to leave now!” Landen shouted


    galnσv???s.????m – your update hub


    “Shut up!” Marissa snapped back


    In that instant, a small ring-shaped de flew from her hand, narrowly missing Landen’s head and embedding itself in the wall


    Elvis’ expression shifted dramatically at the sight of the de. “ck Snake!?” The mention of ck Snake made everyone recoil in fear and stare in disbelief. Hadn’t ck Snake epted Amiri’s bounty to behead Connor? How had she ended up as Connor’s wife?


    Landen gaped at Marissa in shock. “Boss?”


    Marissa nodded slightly at Landen, signaling him to remain silent. She then addressed Elvis again. “Captain Williamson, my feud with Amiri is personal. His death was to settle a score, unrted to the Sunrise. Yet, I admit I vited the ship’s rules. Shall we discuss terms?”


    Elvis, still reeling from the shock, instinctively looked toward Connor


    Marissa added, “You don’t need to consult him. My actions are independent of Mr. Daniels. He has no influence over what I do.”


    Elvis, recovering slightly, asked, “What’s your proposal, Ms. ck Snake?”


    Marissa responded, “If you release my friend, I’ll serve the Sunrise in secret for three years, following all orders.”


    “No, boss!” Landen interjected, tears in his eyes. “Don’t sacrifice so much for me. It’s alright if I die!”


    Marissa gave him a frosty stare. “I told you to shut up!”


    Landen shivered and quickly mped his mouth shut


    Elvis, enticed by the offer, considered the trade. Releasing an unknown for three years of service from ck Snake was an enticing proposition. However, the Sunrise had its reputation to consider. If word of this deal spread, it could tarnish the image of the ship. Noticing his hesitation, Marissa pressed further. “Captain Williamson, Amiri has countless enemies. It wouldn’t be unusual for him to be targeted. The Starlight Hall is sealed tight. If none of us speaks of this, the matter will remain contained, preserving the reputation of the Sunrise.”


    Elvis seemed convinced, but before he could respond, Connor interjected, “I disagree!” As he spoke, Connor pulled Marissa into his arms and faced Elvis. “My wife will not serve the Sunrise, not for three years, not even for three minutes! Captain Williamson, any conditions you have can be discussed with me.”


    Elvis found himself in a dilemma. Facing a figure as influential as Connor, he couldn’t make a decision lightly. “Mr. Daniels, Mrs. Daniels, this matter requires Mr. Alvarado’s input. Please wait a moment,” Elvis said, then hurried to contact Paul, the head of the Sunrise
