?Chapter 574:
Seeing that all the bodyguards outside the mansion were on the brink of being annihted, the man in charge turned as pale as a ghost. He urgently summoned the bodyguards within the mansion for reinforcements and frantically called rissa.
When he finally reached rissa, he stammered, “Madam, there’s trouble! The… the Skytop Mansion is under attack!”
rissa, clearly not expecting an attack on her mansion in the dead of night, responded with a voice as sharp as a knife, “By whom?”
“Five people,” the man in charge replied, his voice trembling. “Three men and two women, all masked. They’re incredibly skilled, beating our guards to a pulp. If this keeps up, the Skytop Mansion is doomed.”
As he gave his report, he recorded a live video and sent it to rissa.
After rissa watched the footage, her voice shot up in shock. “ck Mallow? What?”
The mere mention of ck Mallow sent shivers down the man’s spine. He scrutinized the attackers again and finally confirmed that the person d in ck, with her face covered by a ck veil, was indeed ck Mallow.

ck Mallow’s name was legendary and terrifying within the Peridot Consortium. Even those who had never seen her would nch at the mention of her name, for she was the one person their leader feared above all.
The man in charge had only heard tales of ck Mallow’s fearsome reputation, but today he witnessed her prowess firsthand. He could only watch as ck Mallow effortlessly kicked away the bodyguards who dared to confront her, sending them flying like ser balls.
When they hit the ground, they writhed and groaned in pain, resembling zombies.
The man in charge, trembling with fear, copsed to the ground. He stammered, “Wh-wh… What do we do now?”
rissa hadn’t anticipated ck Mallowunching an attack on Skytop Mansion in the dead of night. She was at a loss for a solution.
Fuming, she berated the man in charge, “I chose Skytop Mansion for the experiments because I believed it was a fortress, easy to defend and hard to breach. How on earth did you let this happen? If you’d been more vignt, ck Mallow would’ve never gotten close!”
The man in charge, sounding deeply aggrieved, replied, “Madam, we didn’t ck off. The moment we spotted the ne above Skytop Mansion, we geared up for defense. But then we realized it was Mr. Hoffman’s private ne, so we let itnd.”
“Bu?” rissa echoed in disbelief. “Are you certain it’s his ne?”
“Absolutely!” the man in charge insisted. “Madam, I know this ne well. Mr. Hoffman used to pick you up with it.”
He sent a picture of the private ne to rissa. After scrutinizing the photo, rissa murmured in confusion, “Why would Bu lend his ne to ck Mallow? Is he colluding with the Doomsday Base against our Peridot Consortium?”
ncing at the unfolding battle, the man in charge urgently reported, “Madam, the situation is dire. We’re about to lose Skytop Mansion. Pleasee back quickly! We need you here!”
Ignoring his pleas, rissa dialed Bu’s number. As soon as the call connected, she snapped, “Bu Hoffman, what’s this about? Why are you doing this?”
It was the first time she’d ever spoken to Bu so harshly or called him by his full name. Thispletely shattered the gentle image she’d always projected to him.
“What’s wrong, rissa?” Bu asked, clearly puzzled.
“You’re asking me?” rissa shot back. “It’s fine that you don’t feel the same way about me and refuse my advances. But why use my feelings to team up with the Doomsday Base and set me up?”
“rissa, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about,” Bu replied calmly.
“Don’t y dumb with me,” rissa said, her agitation growing. “ck Mallow took your private ne and deceived my people. She’s now at Skytop Mansion, fighting my men. Are you seriously going to act like you had no idea?
Bu, I care about you. I’ve been chasing after you for years, only to have you and ck Mallow conspire against me. It’s so disappointing! Tell me, are you in love with ck Mallow? Is that why you teamed with her to attack my mansion?”
