Phoenix finally arrived.

She could briefly deduce what had happened from everyone's discussion.

Her expression was grim, and her face was contorted with rage. “Declan, come with me.”

“Sure, sure!”

Declan immediately followed behind Phoenix, and he entered her room.

Phoenix closed the door, and her smoldering gaze fell on him. “Tell me, Declan. Were those three guards really killed by the newcomer?”

Declan tried to appear calm even though his heart was racing. “Of course, it's true, Ms. Phoenix. How can I joke about this?”

Phoenix asked suspiciously, “Why would they do that? Isn't that digging their own grave?”

Declan answered, “Those people were extremely arrogant. What's stopping them from anything?”


Phoenix inquired, “Could it be that you guys provoked them recklessly?”

Phoenix was clear about the temper of Declan and the others. They had the ability to cause trouble even if there were none.

I shouldn't have let the four of them go on this mission.

Declan declared, “We're innocent, Ms. Phoenix! We spoke to them politely, but they felt we were beneath them and unworthy to talk to them. They insisted on speaking to you directly. I told them I would convey their message to you when I got back. But they insisted that we were looking down on them by sending the four of us, and they wanted to make us pay the price. They killed three of my comrades after that. Boohoohoo... Ms. Phoenix, you have to avenge them!”

Phoenix lifted her hand. “Don't worry. Our people will never die in vain!”

Declan added, “They also said they would spearhead an all-out attack to exterminate Phoenixion if we don't submit to him within three days. Ms. Phoenix, we don't have much time.”

Phoenix nodded. “This is too much! I have misjudged this newcomer's ambition. Declan, you can leave and rest first. I will come up with a plan. I won't let this go easily!”

“Sure, sure!”

With that, Declan took his leave.

Doubt was etched across her face after Declan left.

It didn't seem likely that a newcomer would act so mercilessly. Declan shouldn't be deceiving me, much less using the lives of his comrades to lie to me.

Phoenix did not know what to do at that current moment.

After giving it some thought, Phoenix summoned Scar Face, who had just submitted to her.

When Scar Face entered, he bowed and said obsequiously, “Ms. Phoenix, how can I help you?”
