Zeke said, “Everyone, please be on alert! Notify me immediately if you spot any suspicious activity.”
“Understood!”
Apollyon immediately arranged for people to stand guard. No single suspicious person would be allowed to
approach the base.
Zeke went back to the room to rest.
To him, this matter was not a big deal at all, and he didn't really worry about it.
Whoever the mastermind was, Zeke was confident that he could handle the blitz well.
He would pinch his opponents to death if they dared to strike.
Meanwhile, Phoenix staggered all the way back to the base.
As soon as she returned to the base, she spat out a mouthful of blood. “D*mn it, that cunning b*stard!”
Of course, she purposely splurted out the blood in front of the crowd.
Seeing that Phoenix was injured, her subordinates felt their faces turn pale and ran up in a hurry.
“Ms. Phoenix, what happened to you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Where are the followers who went out with you? Why are you the only one coming back?”
“What about the blood on you?”
Phoenix was panting heavily. Rage blazed furiously in her eyes as she bellowed, “This is too much. The new guy has
gone too far!”
“What?” The members of the Phoenixion turned pale in shock. “Ms. Phoenix, don't tell us that you were injured by
that newcomer.”
Phoenix responded, “Who else but him that would break the rules like they're nothing? Originally, I was hoping to
have a talk with the new guy, but I never expected that he was this wicked and plotted against me. I've never seen
such despicable methods before. I accidentally fell for his trick. Fortunately, I was able to escape in one piece.
However, those two followers weren't this lucky... It's all my fault. I failed to protect them!”
Upon hearing Phoenix, the crowd erupted in fury.
“What! I thought there was a misunderstanding when Declan said that the three guards were killed.”
“He even dared to kill a Centurion. It seems that what happened before was not a misunderstanding at all!”
“How arrogant! As a newcomer, they dare to go against the old Centuria. Do they have a death wish?”
“This is simply intolerable! If we don't eradicate them, it would be a great shame to all of us!”
“I demand that we eradicate the new Centuria!”
“You have my support!”
“Me too!”
Phoenix waved her hand to gesture to everyone to quiet down.
It took a long time for the volatile crowd to calm down.
“Phoenixion will not be bullied. Our brothers shall not die in vain! Hence, I decided to launch a sneak attack on the
new Centuria tonight. Those who support the decision, please stand on the left. Those who don't support it, please
stand on the right!”
The crowd immediately struck into action as soon as Phoenix finished speaking.
Everyone stood to the left.
They all agreed to ambush Zeke tonight.
“Great!” Phoenix nodded with satisfaction. “You guys didn't disappoint me. Go back and get ready. Tonight, we will
fight to the death with them!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fight to the death!”
The crowd dispersed with a jarring war cry and went back to gear up for the battle.
Declan left with the crowd too.
However, he did not return to the resting place. Instead, he sneaked out.
Declan's movement was caught by Phoenix, who had been secretly observing him.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “You son of a b*tch! It's really you! How dare you betray me?
I will skin you alive!”
She summoned Scar Face to her room.
Scar Face bowed and said obsequiously, “Ms. Phoenix, how can I help you?”
Phoenix nodded. “Scar Face, you've been monitoring Declan closely. Have you noticed any strange behaviors from
him?”
Scar Face replied, “I haven't found anything unusual nor seen him come into contact with any suspicious people.”
Phoenix said, “Well, from now on, you don't need to monitor him anymore. I need you to monitor his family instead.
Remember, Declan may secretly transfer his family away. You must stop him at any cost. You must never let Declan
take his family away.”
