Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 739:

When Q mentioned her other identity, Riss, Marissa responded with a sarcastic smirk and chose to stay quiet, anticipating Q’s next words.

Q typed, “We’ve employed various strategies to locate Riss and speak with her directly, but she, much like Dr. Finley, remains very elusive. We’ve never succeeded in approaching her. As an outer disciple of Riss’s team, you now have the best opportunity to meet her in person. Assist us in establishing contact. If we can collaborate with Riss, it will be a significant accomplishment for you, and I can share more information with you.”

Marissa typed back, “Even as an outer disciple of Riss’s team, I rarely see her. Since she last came to perform surgery on my mother, she hasn’t been back to Blebert, and I have no idea where she is now.”

Q typed, “Riss is as elusive as Dr. Finley. We had sent our team there when Riss was operating on your mother, but Connor’s vigilance outside the operating room prevented any form of interference from our side.”

When Marissa received this message, a wave of fear washed over her as she realized the unforeseen risks that had been lurking back then.

During that time, Aelfric disrupted the surgery in the operating room, challenging her as she worked to save her mother. If Q’s team had taken action, it could have jeopardized her mother’s life.

Fortunately, Connor arrived just in time, his presence deterring Aelfric and blocking any maneuvers from Q’s team.

Reflecting on those past events, Marissa was profoundly thankful to Connor. To her, he was nothing short of a guardian angel during those critical moments. His timely action had possibly averted a catastrophe.

Lost in her thoughts, Marissa received another message from Q.

Q said, “Regrettably, we lost that opportunity and haven’t had any leads on Riss since then. Yet, it seems the years have been kind to you. You could assist us with this mission.”

Marissa responded, “I am merely an outer disciple, and seeing Riss again might remain an unfulfilled hope. Depending on me could lead to disappointment.”

Q typed, “Evading this responsibility isn’t an option. Even though you’re merely an outer disciple with limited access to Riss, your cousin Landen is directly under her tutelage. Given his status, he frequently meets Riss. Leverage your connection with Landen to make some progress. Don’t assume that making excuses will deter me from assigning you this task. Should you fail to act through Landen, I am prepared to abduct him and coerce him into disclosing Riss’s location.”

Marissa’s lips tightened in anger when she read this message.

Initially, Marissa had appointed Landen as her disciple to bolster him, aiming to diminish Sansa and Ayla’s influence and rejuvenate the Nash family’s prospects. Besides, she also recognized Landen’s potential and was intent on nurturing him.noveldrama

However, she hadn’t anticipated that her support and guidance might endanger him.

Thinking of Landen, Marissa realized that since she declared him as her disciple, her own hectic schedule had prevented her from adequately mentoring him. He likely awaited her guidance with earnest anticipation, which filled her with remorse.

To safeguard Landen, she felt compelled to comply with Q’s request.

Marissa typed, “Alright, I’ll provide what I know about Riss. Don’t involve Landen.”

Q responded with a smug emoji.

He then said, “You see, the more people you endeavor to shield, the more vulnerabilities you expose. Each individual you protect becomes a potential target. Your safest course is to heed my directives. Otherwise, anyone from either the Sanchez or the Nash family is at risk.”

Marissa’s fists clenched as she narrowed her eyes, a menacing gaze setting in.

Q added, “Naturally, I’m aware that despite Landen’s close connection to Riss as her disciple, he may not always have contact with her. I recognize the difficulty of your situation in locating Riss. Out of respect for your father and my sympathies toward you and Tiffany, I’m offering you additional choices. Besides locating Dr. Finley and Riss, you may choose two other tasks.”
