?Chapter 585:
“Hey, Bu!” Silver Fox shouted.
Bu was lost in thought, his brow furrowed. When Silver Fox called out to him, he lifted his head.
Their eyes locked, and Silver Fox taunted, “Bu, teaming up with rissa against ck Mallow? How shameless can you get? Whether you two win or lose today, you’re bringing disgrace to the Hoffman family. I’m disappointed in you.”
Before Bu could respond, rissa sneered, “Scared, White Mallow? If you’re afraid, you’d better convince ck Mallow to surrender the chip and kneel before me, begging for forgiveness.”
“Bah!” Silver Fox spat at rissa. “You shameless coward! Back then, you didn’t dare face ck Mallow directly, so you hid in the shadows like a rat and shot her. Now that ck Mallow confronts you, you need help from others. If you have the guts, face ck Mallow alone.”
Ignoring rissa’s potential reply, Silver Fox turned to Bu with a sneer. “Seriously, I question what’s going on in your head. How could you work for someone as shameless as rissa? Are you sharing her with Aelfric or something?”
Her words cut deep. Anger darkened Bu’s face, his usually cold demeanor growing even more intense. He hadn’t anticipated such harsh words from White Mallow of the Doomsday Base—it felt like an assault on his very being.
He couldn’t contain his frustration any longer!
Witnessing the man who usually maintainedposure even amidst chaos now visibly affected, Silver Fox felt a surge of satisfaction. She had deliberately uttered those cutting words to provoke him, and it seemed she had seeded.
As Bu’s typically handsome visage darkened with anger, Silver Fox’s pretty face beneath the white veil broke into a wide smile.
Bu, too proud to engage in an argument with a woman, despite his seething rage, wore a somber expression with clenched fists.
However, rissa suddenly erupted in exasperation. She had professed her love to Bu daily and feigned the demeanor of a virtuousdy to convince him of her purity andmitment, but Silver Fox’s words made her sound like a promiscuous woman. She couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
Pointing usatorily at Silver Fox, she burst out, “White Mallow, you whore! You’re the one sleeping with countless men! I refuse to believe all those men at the Doomsday Base are no match for you. You must have seduced them into letting you win!”
Standing beside rissa, Bu winced at the piercing volume of her scream. She had always presented herself as a refineddy in his presence, so hearing her utter such crude words shocked him deeply.
He regarded the frenzied rissa with indifference and inwardly sneered, confirming that she was adept at pretense. Despite seeing through rissa’s true nature, Bu maintained a stoic expression and silence.
His assistance to her stemmed solely from her past act of saving his life; her true character held no interest for him.
After her outburst, rissa realized her overreaction had tarnished her image in Bu’s eyes.
Turning cautiously toward him, she observed his unchanged cold demeanor and said, “Apologize, Bu. I’m not usually like this. I was just so angry at White Mallow that I spoke without thinking.”
“It’s fine,” Bu replied tly.
His calmness left rissa uncertain whether he was angered or not, causing her distress as she struggled with what to do next.
At that moment, Marissa interjected with a sly smile, “rissa, you seem quite agitated. Perhaps White Mallow was right. Did you take extra from Bu and Aelfric’s assistance? No wonder they rushed to protect you in the dead of night.”
With a shake of her head, Marissa continued, “Impressive skills indeed, it seems. I’m impressed.”
“Damn you!” rissa suppressed her urge to hurl insults once more when she thought of Bu by her side. After containing her anger, she nced at Bu and vented, “Bu, look at those two women. How malicious they are!”
Ignoring rissa’s outburst, Bu shifted his gaze to Marissa and Silver Fox and inquired, “As the famous ck and White Mallow from the Doomsday Base, do you intend to continue hurling insults like two shrews?”
