A murderous glint formed in Platinum's eyes as he pondered the matter.

Declan is no longer of any use to us. There's a risk of him leaking information about this if we keep him around.

However, Platinum eventually dismissed that thought as he still had to establish dominance over Phoenix.

Given how stubborn Phoenix is, it's unlikely that she would submit to me. I might be able to convince her if I keep Declan around, though.

With that in mind, Platinum said respectfully, “All right, Mr. Cook. I won't keep you any longer. Let me walk you out of here.”

“No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Platinum. I can see myself out.”

Platinum insisted on walking him out anyway.

Declan breathed a huge sigh of relief and panted heavily after leaving Platinumion.

His back was drenched in a cold sweat, and his legs were weak from fear.

Declan had noticed the murderous intent in Platinum's eyes earlier.

My goodness! I can't believe Platinum was actually going to kill me! I was so scared that I could barely breathe! I don't know why he changed his mind all of a sudden, but I sure am glad he did!

“If I weren't prepared, I probably would've been done for! Platinum, you b*stard! I'll make sure to kill you someday!” Declan muttered under his breath as he anxiously made his way back to Phoenixion.

Since the guys over at Phoenixion were oblivious to Declan's defection, they greeted him warmly as usual.

Declan forced himself to smile at them as he made his way back to his living quarters.

To his surprise, there was nobody there.

What the f*ck? Where are my wife and kids? Oh, I know! Phoenix must've taken them!

The look on Declan's face turned gloomy at the thought of that. He then quickly made his way to Phoenix's quarters and knocked on the door.

“Hey, Phoenix! It's me, Declan! I have returned!”

“Come in!” Phoenix called out to him lazily.

“Where's my family, Ms. Phoenix? If you must punish me, then go ahead and do so, but please leave my family alone!” Declan said as he opened the door.

“Close the door,” Phoenix ordered coldly.

She then waited for Declan to shut the door behind him before continuing, “I've made arrangements for someone to look after your family, so they're perfectly safe. Don't worry; I won't go back on my promise.”

“I want to see them now, Ms. Phoenix. I can't rest easy until I see that they're fine,” Declan said.

Phoenix nodded. “All right. I'll arrange for you to meet them in a bit. Now, tell me what happened over at Platinumion.”

“I need to see them and confirm that they're all right before I report the situation,” Declan insisted stubbornly.
