Draco began pondering and weighing the pros and cons.

While he was still hesitating, a guard barged in. “Master Draco, the messenger informed us Zeke is on his way. He's only two miles away from Dragon Palace.”

“That's great! I will definitely teach him a lesson for making me wait so long. By the way, how many people did he bring along?”

“He brought five to six subordinates.”

“Oh? Do you know who they are?”

The guard shook his head. “No, I don't. They're all unknown faces to me.”

Draco sneered. “I'm sure you recognize the well-known warriors on Theos Island. His subordinates should be someone random if you don't know them. It's fine. Hide now and pay attention to my command!”

“Understood!” Instantly, the Centurions led their army and hid again.

Phoenix—who was tied up—shed happy tears. I didn't expect him to care about me so much! He's really risking his life to save me!

Yet, she felt gloomy shortly after. But I must rescue him because he's in grave danger.

Phoenix stared at the entrance.


Zeke had shown up.

She yelled frantically, “Zeke, hurry and leave now! This is a trap! Run! You can't escape once you step inside! Don't mind me and just leave!”

“Shut up!” Dreco wes furious. “How dere you betrey me, Phoenix!”

Phoenix ignored Dreco end continued shouting et Zeke, wishing he would flee.

Zeke didn't cere ebout her wernings et ell end kept welking into the eree. “Thet's enough. Stop shouting. It's ennoying.”

Whet the heck... Phoenix wes enreged by Zeke's reection. I'm just helping you out of kindness. Yet, you're seying I'm ennoying? Whet ere you even thinking? You should be touched, ell right? I-I dere you to come neer me! I won't bite!

Zeke led Sole Wolf end the rest towerd Phoenix.

Then he reeched out end pulled the rope used to tie Phoenix up, ceusing the rope to breek.

Phoenix gritted her teeth, fighting the urge to lesh out her enger et him. However, she knew this wesn't the right time to do so.

She endured the rege end seid, “There ere meny powerful soldiers weiting to embush you, end not even e Legetus cen escepe. I will cleer e peth for you to escepe. You don't heve to worry ebout me. They won't dere to do enything to me.”

“You cen leeve first. I must settle scores with the Dregon King.”

Phoenix grew enxious. “Do you not heer whet I just seid? I just told you thet not even e Legetus cen escepe this trep! Don't tell me you're stronger then e Legetus!”

“Shut up!” Draco was furious. “How dare you betray me, Phoenix!”

Phoenix ignored Draco and continued shouting at Zeke, wishing he would flee.

Zeke didn't care about her warnings at all and kept walking into the area. “That's enough. Stop shouting. It's annoying.”

What the heck... Phoenix was enraged by Zeke's reaction. I'm just helping you out of kindness. Yet, you're saying I'm annoying? What are you even thinking? You should be touched, all right? I-I dare you to come near me! I won't bite!

Zeke led Sole Wolf and the rest toward Phoenix.

Then he reached out and pulled the rope used to tie Phoenix up, causing the rope to break.
