Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled.

"Felix? He was just a friend of mine."

Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"

How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying. The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sterly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"

Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion took him away." Everyone knew about the power of the Phoenix Legion. Those being taken away rarely came out alive.

"How bad is your disagreement with Felix?" Bradley asked with a frown, waiting for Zachary's answer.

"Brad, who exactly is Felix? Is he really that powerful?" Benedict asked with a grave expression.
