HappyNovelChapter 168: When Marissa heard the noise, she tensed up. She couldn't risk anyone discovering that she was impersonating Tiffany at that moment. If someone overheard her conversation with Derek, it would complicate matters. Derek was equally nervous and wanted to keep his relationship with Marissa secret, especially from Aelfric Just after Marissa asked her question, a large cat burst from the bushes and dashed away. Both Marissa and Derek exhaled in relief. They scanned their surroundings to ensure no one was listening in before resuming their discussion. Derek, having been accused by Marissa of putting on airs, grew more irritated "Marissa, while I might not control much wealth right now, I have the backing of Doomsday Base. Not only am I the deputy chief instructor's future brother-in-law, but the chief instructor also holdsin high regard. I have a bright future." "Oh?" Marissa was both skeptical and amused She was aware of Derek's ties to the deputy chief instructor of Doomsday Base, but the chief instructor's high regard was news to her. Noticing Marissa's mocking smile, Derek said, "You don't believe me? Black Mallow, the chief instructor of Doomsday Base, will personally attend my engagement party. Then you'll see I'm telling the truth." Every chapter lives on g a Ino vels; comm Marissa casually cleaned her ear, showing her disinterest in Derek's bragging. "Unless you have something more to say, I'm going to leave." "You..." Derek was infuriated by Marissa's constant disregard, feeling a sharp pain in his chest from the frustration. "Marissa, are you unaware of what kind of organization Doomsday Base is? It is the largest and most terrifying martial arts organization in the world, a force not even Connor would dare provoke." "Oh, so what?" Marissa responded "Now that I have Doomsday Base's support, you should treatwith respect." "How exactly should I show you respect?" Marissa inquired calmly Derek tilted his head up with pride and said, “Since Black Mallow values me, she will surely mentor and support me. I might even surpass Aelfric in the future. And I'll have more than just one woman, so cand be my mistress." A sharp glint appeared in Marissa's eyes momentarily. It was clear now that Derek's true aim for requesting a private meeting was to coerce her into secretly becoming his mistress What a jerk! Marissa realized she had been far too lenient with him in the past. She remained silent, leading Derek to believe she was intimidated by his revelations. So he said proudly, "Don't worry, Marissa. While being my mistress isn't something to flaunt, I'll treat you well. I'll provide you with money and even let you have my child." "Bang!" Marissa's kick sent Derek tumbling into the nearby pond, startling a group of frogs into leaping away. The pond wasn't deep, and Derek quickly got back to his feet. He pointed at Marissa furiously and scolded her, "You've always been hot-tempered. Anytthere's a disagreement, you resort to physical actions. You're such a crude, uneducated, and ignorant village girl. Who else would tolerate you but me? Marissa, you might not likenow, thinking you can depend on my uncle, but he won't be around much longer. I've got the Doomsday Base's chief instructor backing me. My future's looking bright. I'll wait for you to ccrawling on your knees, begging. By then, you won't even deserve to be my mistress. I'll degrade you to nothing more than a lowly whore."
With a smirk, Marissa slowly took out an object the size of a coin from her sleeve and stared at Derek coldly. Derek was frightened by her eyes and took a step back. "What are you holding?" He didn't recognize it. This was the deadly weapon of the m mercenary queen Black Snake, resembling a small coin but actually a sharp circular blade capable of slicing through iron. Black Snake wielded this circular blade with out-of-this-world skills. With a flick of her wrist, it would spin swiftly through the air, severing anything she aimed at, even if it was hundreds of feet away. Those who had witnessed this weapon were either dead or haunted for life. Derek had never seen it and didn't know about it. At this moment, he looked confused. Before he could understand what was happening, Marissa made her move
