Chapter 390: Xander gained entry into Doomsday Base because of his grandpa's friendship with Zyair. He interacted with the top brass at the base, Zyair took him under his wing, and later, Marissa took over.

Unlike the regular recruits who endured rigorous training, Xander had a more privileged path and never trained with Aelfric. Consequently, he didn't hold Aelfric in high regard. The tense undercurrents between Aelfric and the chief instructor, Black Mallow, only fueled Xander's animosity towards him.

Xander's voice oozed contempt whenever he spoke of Aelfric. At the moment, Xander mentioned he was going to report a secret about Aelfric, causing Marissa to look up sharply. "What is it?" she asked quietly.

"Aelfric, using his identity as the deputy chief instructor of Doomsday Base, has reached out to Clarissa in various ways. He's looking to secretly meet with the president of the Peridot Consortium. He mentioned wanting to explore potential collaboration with her," Xander revealed.

Marissa's eyes narrowed as she mulled over the information, her suspicions confirmed. Aelfric had been leveraging the influence of Doomsday Base for undisclosed activities, all behind her and King's backs.

Doomsday Base and the Peridot Consortium had always maintained their distance, a policy she and King had deliberately chosen. Yet, here was Aelfric, reaching out to the Peridot Consortium's leader secretly.

"Why would Aelfric reach out to the leader of the Peridot Consortium?" Marissa asked, looking for more details. "Clarissa has no regard for Aelfric whatsoever," Xander responded, his lips twisting in evident mockery. "Clarissa is outright haughty. Despite Aelfric being the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, she completely disregards him.

Given her character, if she were ever interested in forging ties with Doomsday Base, she'd bypass him and go directly to King or to you, King's successor. She wouldn't waste her ton Aelfric. Her dismissal of Aelfric isn't just because she deems him unworthy of her notice. Most crucially, she harbors a fear of Doomsday Base." Marissa questioned, "Does her fear stem from our uncovering her theft of our crucial document?" Xander confirmed with a nod. "Clarissa is wary of Aelfric's motives. She can't tell if he's operating independently or if Doomsday Base has tasked him to approach her for investigation. Thus, she avoids any contact with him. Consequently, despite the Warren family being among the top four influential families in Blebert, endowed with vast financial wealth and power, the Peridot Consortium has consistently shunned any interactions or alliances with the Warrens.

Clarissa has explicitly instructed Peridot Consortium members to steer clear of any dealings or collaborations with the Warren family. Hence, no matter what Remy does, he never fully engages with the Warren family.” Suddenly, Marissa remembered something. “But yesterday, I heard Dunbar mention to Aelfric that Remy was looking to make contact with Black Mallow." Xander responded, "Remy holds a minor position in the Peridot Consortium. He doesn't have the authority to influence the decisions of the senior management. Being Remy's subordinate, Dunbar is likely just as in the dark about the president's intentions.

However, it is true that Clarissa instructed Remy to forge a link with Black Mallow through subtle means.” Confused, Marissa inquired, “But why would Clarissa do that?"

Xander explained with a sly grin, "Clarissa finds you both intriguing and formidable, which unsettles mer. The Peridot Consortium has stolen E our thing, and they were aware we would uncover their theft sooner or later, and would go to great lengths to reclaim what's ours. They worried we might completely dismantle their organization. The twho wield the most influence at the Doomsday Base are King, yourself, and Aelfric. Everyone is familiar with King's appearance.

Aelfric always wears a mask to keep an air of mystery, yet his role as the head of the Warren Group is known. You on the other hand, remain an enigma to them, which is why Clarissa is keen on obtaining your personal details."

As he spoke, Xander's expression turned grave. He looked directly at Critical om Marissa and posed a critical question "Chief Instructor, do you understand the true motive behind Clarissa wanting Remy to establish a connection with you?"
