Chapter 435: The wind did indeed pick up suddenly and with considerable force, but it wasn't potent enough to knock over people, especially not grown men. Even the maids who cout of the main building to greet them managed to stand firm, though their skirts fluttered wildly.
However, Marc and Terry, appearing as fragile as patients, were knocked off their feet by the gust, rolling several times on the ground. Everyone stared at Marc and Terry in astonishment, baffled by how the two head bodyguards, expected to be pillars of strength, appeared so frail and delicate.

Luckily, he was next to the car and quickly stabilized himself by leaning against it, thus avoiding the embarrassing tumble that Marc and Terry experienced.
Marc and Terry were deeply embarrassed. They had always taken pride in their elite training at Doomsday Base, yet here they were, rendered powerless. It becclear that diet was crucial. Their daily intake of pickles was evidently insufficient.

Marissa observed the two, now pale and shaken, wondering what trials they had faced that had left them so weakened.

We'll regain our strength quickly and won't let you down again." Terry joined in, pleading anxiously, though his words sounded ridiculous. "Mr. Daniels, even if you suspend us, please don't stop our pay. We have families to support." Connor scoffed, "Aren't you both orphans? As far as I'm aware, you've never even dated, so how do you have families to support?" Terry realized his blunder, shook his head, and fell silent. In his panic, he had accidentally quoted a line from a television show.
Connor grew even more exasperated. The assistant and bodyguards he depended on were suddenly becoming a source of aggravation.
At that moment, Franco burst out of the main building and shouted excitedly, "Connor!" Connor's focus shifted. He looked at Franco and asked, "What brings you here?"
"I cwith my mom," Franco gestured towards the main building. "She missed you and cto visit you and your grandma. She's currently in the living room chatting with your grandma." Connor's spirits lifted, and he promptly headed towards the main building.
Marissa was debating whether to go inside to meet Connor's aunt, considering she was someone m Connor held in high regard. Just then, her phone buzzed. She checked it and noticed a message from Q.
Without hesitation, she quickly stepped aside to a secluded area to respond to Q's message
