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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe 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.
Phoenix gritted her teeth, fighting the urge to lash out her anger at him. However, she knew this wasn't the right
time to do so.
She endured the rage and said, “There are many powerful soldiers waiting to ambush you, and not even a Legatus
can escape. I will clear a path for you to escape. You don't have to worry about me. They won't dare to do anything
to me.”
“You can leave first. I must settle scores with the Dragon King.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhoenix grew anxious. “Do you not hear what I just said? I just told you that not even a Legatus can escape this
trap! Don't tell me you're stronger than a Legatus!”
Sole Wolf chuckled. “Whatever a Legatus is, they're no match for Zeke! I don't care who you are. If Zeke asks you
to leave, you better do so immediately. Otherwise, I'll throw you out of here.”
Phoenix was rendered speechless. As expected, birds of a feather flock together! Everyone around this blockhead
is so dense!
Phoenix was no longer upset but was angry. “Fine. Let's all die together, then. I'll die with you if you insist on
staying.”
“Die? The Draco is the one who's going to die today!”
“How are you so confident? You don't know how powerful he is at all! Stop hiding and come out, all of you!”
Draco gritted his teeth and stared at Phoenix. “Fine! I underestimated you, Phoenix. I didn't expect you to have the
audacity to betray me so publicly! You're extraordinarily daring, aren't you? All right! Show yourselves, everyone!
We don't need to ambush them to win.”
At once, groups of people leaped out from all around the area, surrounding Zeke and his team.
Draco's people had immense battle spirit and murderous intent. An ordinary person would definitely get too
intimidated by them and break down instantly.
