HappyNovelChapter 144: Wesson was taken aback and quickly chastised Marissa in a hushed tone, "Why are you yelling? Do you think it's wise to shout the nof the Doomsday Base branch leader?" He feared his actions might provoke Aelfric and instantly regretted bringing this unpredictable woman along. In a desperate attempt, Wesson gave the bodyguards a hurried wink, signaling them to escort Marissa out. But it was too late No sooner had Marissa spoken than footsteps echoed from the main hall. In a flash, Aelfric appeared at the doorway, accompanied by Derek and Dennis, and a group of newcomers. Aelfric was no longer in his daytattire but had switched to a black uniform emblazoned with Doomsday Base's logo. His face, unmasked, was camouflaged with splotches of paint, obscuring his true features. He stood tall in the doorway, his presence formidable. Dennis and Derek, also dressed in the black uniforms of Doomsday Base, flanked Aelfric, remaining silent and standing rigid Feeling Aelfric's formidable presence, Wesson forced a smile and greeted him, “Mr. Warren." But Aelfric ignored him, his gaze fixed sternly on the woman by Wesson's side Wesson's heart raced. He feared the trouble Marissa might have stirred. Eager to clear his name, he quickly distanced himself from her. "Mr. Warren, I have no association with this woman. She must have followed us here secretly. She's deranged. She has offended you, and I will have the bodyguards discipline her immediately." After making his remark, Wesson flashed a knowing wink at the bodyguards. The bodyguards caught on immediately and were about to give Marissa a tough tDiscover more at gal"How dare you!" Aelfric burst out in sudden rage Both Wesson and his bodyguards shook in fright and turned to Aelfric, their faces a picture of bewilderment. Aelfric, usually so haughty and composed, dropped to one knee in front of Marissa, bowed his head, and addressed her with reverence, "Chief Instructor." Wesson and the other onlookers were stunned. The woman clad in simple black attire, her face obscured by a black veil, was the legendary chief instructor of Doomsday Base? Derek and Dennis exchanged looks of astonishment, then hastily followed Aelfric's lead, kneeling on one knee and echoing him, "Chief Instructor." Marissa cast a glance at Derek and Dennis, then turned to Wesson, a smirk playing on her lips. She found the situation increasingly amusing-three of her former fiancés gathered in one place. Wesson, overcwith fear, could only stare at Marissa. His face drained of color, and his hands quivered. At that moment, he cursed his audacity for having attempted to flirt with the chief instructor. He assumed he was a goner. Yet, he couldn't help but gamble on a sliver of hope. The fact that the chief instructor hadn't scolded him just now suggested that she might have actually liked his flirtatious remarks. Maybe, just maybe, she had taken a liking to him With this thought, Wesson becslightly distracted. Concerned that his looks might not be up to par, he quickly adjusted his hair and flashed a charming smile at Marissa. Disgusted, Marissa turned to Aelfric and snapped, "Aelfric, it's been ages since I last saw you. How dare you compromise Doomsday Base's integrity for money? Do you no longer respect my authority as the chief instructor?" Aelfric was taken aback. Just as he was about to rise to his defense, Marissa cut him off fiercely. "Kneel! Did I give you permission to stand?" Rushed and flustered, Aelfric dropped to his knee again. Derek and Dennis, who were initially rising with Aelfric, quickly mimicked his actions and knelt down again. The tension in the air skyrocketed Wesson swallowed hard, his fear palpable. This chief instructor was far more formidable than he had anticipated. "Chief Instructor, I'm at a loss here. What are you referring to?" Aelfric asked Without responding, Marissa played a recording of her earlier conversation with Wesson outside the gate. After the playback, Marissa berated Aelfric, "I made it explicitly clear that if Doomsday Base is ever in a pinch, just askfor financial help. I would provide whatever is necessary. Since when do we need you to undermine our pride and sovereignty to court sponsors?"
Enraged, Aelfric clenched his teeth, surged to his feet, and furiously m kicked over Wesson's wheelchair
