?Chapter 326:
After a brief exchange of greetings with Aelfric, Dunbar quickly moved on to discuss the chief instructor of the Doomsday Base, ck Mallow.
“Mr. Warren, I heard that ck Mallow was recently in Blebert. Is she still around? Mr. Sugden has been eager to meet her and be friends. Would you be able to introduce us?”
Aelfric’s expression became slightly ufortable, though his mask hid most of it. Despite feeling uneasy, he replied courteously, “Unfortunately, ck Mallow has already left Blebert. As for her whereabouts now, I’m afraid I can’t reveal that information.”
“What a shame!” Dunbar expressed his disappointment with a raise of his eyebrows. “Should ck Mallow return to Blebert, please inform me. Mr. Sugden would certainly like to visit her personally.”
“No problem,” Aelfric forced a smile and nodded. Dunbar then turned to Derek, who was standing next to Aelfric, and offered a hypocritical smile.
“Ah, that fool Charles mistook Derek for someone else and beat him up. Mr. Sugden has already given him a strict scolding. On behalf of Mr. Sugden, I extend our apologies to you, Mr. Warren, and hope for your forgiveness.”

Aelfric maintained his forced smile, “It’s nothing. A little misunderstanding now and then can actually bring people closer. Today, I’m not just here for Mr. Sugden. I’m also introducing my brother-inw to everyone so we can prevent any misunderstandings in the future.”
“Thank you, Mr. Warren, for your kindness,” Dunbar responded. “Charles is in the hospital right now, having surgery on his broken leg and couldn’t be here today. Once he’s out, I’ll make sure hees by to apologize to Derek personally.”
Dunbar’s mention of Charles’ injury was news to Aelfric. The incident at Brando Hotel had been kept secret, so Aelfric hadn’t heard of it. Hearing Dunbar bring it up, he was genuinely surprised. “How did Charles end up with a broken leg?”
Dunbar clearly aimed to make the incident known, so he said outright, “It was Tiffany Nash. She used her position as Mrs. Daniels to cause chaos at the Brando Hotel and hurt people.”
Hearing Tiffany’s name left Aelfric quite surprised. He could guess why Tiffany had hurt Charles and his men—Charles was known to be helping the Clifford family in holding back the Sanchez family. Tiffany probably acted to stand up for the Sanchez family.
What caught him off guard was that Tiffany, often dismissed as a failure, had the courage to take such a step. Not even members of the four top families would risk antagonizing Charles, but she managed to injure him severely.
Aelfric let out augh before asking, “Everyone says Tiffany is a failure, even though she’s trained in somebat skills. Surely, she doesn’t have the power to break Charles’s leg, does she? Especially with so many guards at the Brando Hotel.”
Dunbar sighed and said, “Charles took Mr. Connor Daniels’ reputation into consideration and opted not to escte the situation with Tiffany. He endured the ordeal without seeking revenge.”
Aelfric nodded, now grasping the deeper intent behind Remy’s masterpiece appreciation event, and smiled in anticipation of the unfolding drama. Beside him, Derek waspletely taken aback.
He was aware of how severe the beating Charles and his men had received—a detail Aelfric wasn’t aware of. He was baffled by how Marissa managed to do that. She had always been skilled inbat from a young age, but not to the degree that she could single-handedly take down Charles’s entire crew.
Just then, Wesson, being wheeled by a bodyguard, approached Dunbar. Dunbar looked at Aelfric and said, “Mr. Clifford wishes to extend his apologies for any past misunderstandings. He’s requested my help to mediate and hopes you can overlook the prior issues. Would you do me this favor, Mr. Warren?”
From a distance, Marissa narrowed her eyes as she listened in. Aelfric had firmly promised ck Mallow he wouldn’t give Wesson another chance. She was curious to see if he would abandon that vow for potential gains today!
