?Chapter 237:


    Marissa and Ferris hadn’t expected Landen to see them. But since Landen saw and asked a question, they couldn’t just pretend he wasn’t there. Ferris turned and offered a smile to Landen


    “Miss Nash entrusted me with a DNA test. I’m here to collect the samples.”


    Taken aback, Landen looked at Marissa. “You’re just an outer disciple of Dr. Riss’ team. Why would Dr. Riss’ top assistant personally handle this for you?”


    Ferris shed a grin. “I was in the area, so I figured I’d stop by and pick the samples up.”


    “Alright,” Landen nodded, though he was skeptical


    Marissa chuckled and turned to Landen. “Anything else on your mind?”


    Landen looked at Ferris and asked, “Dr. Frazier, when will I meet Dr. Riss?”


    Ferris looked at Marissa before answering, “Landen, please be patient. Dr. Riss will reach out to you soon.”


    “Okay,” Landen sighed, tinged with disappointment. Each time he pressed Ferris for a meeting with Dr. Riss, he received the same vague answer. He was unsure when he would actually get to meet Dr. Riss


    Ferris smiled again, probing, “Any other questions, Landen?”


    “No, nothing else,” Landen shook his head


    “Well then, I’ll be on my way,” Ferris said as he turned and departed


    Once Ferris had left, Marissa motioned to Landen. “You can leave, too.”


    “Boss, why are you sending me away?” Landen hesitated, not wanting to leave. “Don’t you need my help with the kids?”


    “No,” Marissa said, gently pushing Landen out the door. “You should go back. And remember, don’t talk about who I am.”


    “Alright,” Landen said reluctantly as he left. With everyone gone, Marissa finally felt relieved


    She took a sip of water, settled into the sofa, and messaged Silver Fox, saying, “Can you look into this for me?” She sent a picture of Lindsay’s sketch of the monster to Silver Fox


    Silver Fox’s reply was tinged with excitement. “ck Snake, where are you currently?”


    Marissa replied, “I’m in Blebert.”


    Silver Fox continued, “You have returned to Blebert already? Any injuries?”


    “I’mpletely fine,” Marissa assured


    “That’s a relief! And Amiri? Was the mission sessful?” Silver Fox inquired further


    Marissa confirmed, “Yes. News from the Sunrise about Amiri will be out soon, but it might not be entirely urate. Anyway, we made it back without a scratch.”


    “But I can’t be ck Snake anymore. Our organization is going to be disbanded soon,” Marissa added


    Surprised, Silver Fox responded, “We’re disbanding our organization? That’s a bit sad. But it doesn’t matter. ck Snake is just one of your identities. You’re still ck Mallow, free to do whatever you choose in our circles.”


    Curious, Marissa asked, “And what about you? What are your ns?”


    “I joined you for the thrill. Now that we’re disbanding our organization, I’ll return home to take over my family’s fortune! I’ll meet you in Blebert soon,” Silver Fox announced


    “Okay, I’ll wait for you! And please, look into this picture for me as soon as you can,” Marissa requested


    “I’ve just taken a look at the picture. What in the world is this?” Silver Fox asked


    “I’m not sure. That’s why I need your help to figure it out,” Marissa exined


    “Alright, I’ll give it my all! If Ie up short, we might need to seek help from the Rasetsu Group. They’ve been using the ck Snake name for years. It’s time they returned the favor,” Silver Fox suggested


    After ending her chat with Silver Fox, Marissa logged off the Dark Net and headed to the children’s room. They were sound asleep. During dinner, they had each finished a big ss of milk, and the room was still filled with its aroma. Marissa gently tucked the children in. As she was about to leave, she let out a yawn


    But as she yawned, she suddenly froze. She had just discovered something utterly astonishing
