?Chapter 745:


    Hearing Marissa’s question, Kevin hesitated for a moment before lifting his gaze to meet hers, a puzzled expression on his face as he questioned, “What makes you so interested in my sister?” She started by inquiring whether he had a sister, and once he acknowledged that he did, she began to explore the tensions between them. ck Snake’s curiosity about his sister was unusually intense.


    A wave of embarrassment washed over Marissa as she realized that her questions about his sister hade across as unexpectedly blunt. With most people, she might have brought up the subject in a roundabout way. However, when it came to her adoptive brother, she had never shied away from being direct. This habit was ingrained since their childhood when she always got straight to the point and avoided unnecessary misunderstandings. The way Kevin’s intense gaze bored into her made her feel exceptionally uneasy and slightly foolish.


    After he acknowledged having a sister and revealed that she had hurt him deeply, Marissa believed there was no need to keep hiding her face. She needed to confront the situation head-on and clear the air. That was why she took off her mask and cap. Once her face was uncovered, she gave a slight pout and said, “It’s because I am your sister. Even though you knew who I am, you still chose to ignore me and give me your attitude. Naturally, I needed to seek some rification.”


    When Kevin saw her face, he was utterly shocked. The menu he was holding dropped onto the table with a loud thud. He remained frozen, staring at Marissa’s face without making a move for what seemed like an eternity. Marissa held his gaze steadily, giving him the freedom to look as she continued, “You mentioned having only one sister, which clearly must be me. You also stated that your sister broke your heart. Please exin, how did I cause you pain?”


    Kevin listened to her question, his amazement evident in his widening eyes. Instead of providing a straightforward answer, he replied with disbelief, “Are you truly ck Snake?”


    “Without a doubt,” Marissa responded.


    gα?ησν????s, the ce for amazing tales


    Kevin’s face was a canvas of disbelief as he asked, “Are you really the renowned painter Only, the world-famous doctor Riss, and the mercenary queen ck Snake?”


    “Indeed,” Marissa said with a resolute nod, showing no signs of evasion. “I am also ck Mallow, the chief instructor at the Doomsday Base.”


    Kevin was stunned. The revtion of Only, Riss, and ck Snake being the same person was certainly startling, but it was not beyond hisprehension. As the leader of the Rasetsu Group, he had long been ustomed to encountering exceptional individuals and extraordinary circumstances. However, learning that Marissa was also ck Mallow, the chief instructor at the Doomsday Base, was beyond what he could easily process.


    The name ck Mallow was a symbol of unparalleled prestige, linked to the world’srgest martial arts base. It boasted a globalwork of students andmanded the respect of all significant figures in the world. Though the Rasetsu Group wielded considerable power, Mr. G, as its leader, felt a certain superiority when facing the mercenary queen ck Snake. Yet, this feeling vanished in the presence of ck Mallow, the esteemed chief instructor of the Doomsday Base.


    He struggled toprehend how the younger sister he had once shielded had evolved into such a formidable force. When had she be so powerful? Kevin was left in stunned disbelief, unable to regain hisposure, as Marissa asked again, “Exin to me, in what way did I cause you distress? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been searching for you, how difficult it has been, and how deeply I’ve longed to see you again?”


    Kevin’s confusion only deepened. “You’ve been searching for me?”


    “Indeed!” Marissa responded with a tone of certainty. “What’s the matter? Are you doubting me?”


    Kevin’s brow furrowed in confusion. “If that’s true, then why did you treat me so coldly and say those cruel words four years ago when I finally found you after going to great lengths?”


    “Four years ago?” Marissa eximed, her eyes widening in astonishment. What did he mean? Despite all her years of searching, she had nevere across him—until today, when they were finally reunited for the first time.


    Observing Marissa’s look of confusion, Kevin began to suspect that something had gone wrong. He started to piece together that the sister he had tracked down years earlier was not the same individual as the woman sitting before him now. Before Kevin could respond, Marissa suddenly had a realization and inquired, “Kevin, did you meet Tiffany four years ago?”
