Declan implied that Apollyon and the others were not qualified to speak with him.

Apollyon said, “I'm sorry. Our boss is not here at the moment.”

Zeke had indeed just gone out, but Declan didn't believe that to be the case.

He was under the assumption that Apollyon was deliberately preventing them from meeting with Zeke.

If Phoenix had not repeatedly reminded them not to stir any trouble, the four bodyguards would've inflicted their

wrath on Apollyon and the others.

In the end, Declan managed to contain his fury with much difficulty. “Fine. You can pass this message along to your

boss then. Our Centurion, Ms. Phoenix, would like to welcome you to this district and hope you can get used to

Centuria's lifestyle. Also, since we'll be neighbors in the future, please feel free to let us know if you need any

assistance. Phoenixion will help out as long as it is within our abilities. Phoenixion intends to foster an amicable

relationship with you instead of becoming your enemy.”

Apollyon heaved a sigh of relief after knowing that they meant no harm. “Okay. I will relay this message to our

Centurion.”

“Let's go!” Declan left with the other three bodyguards after they fulfilled their duty.

Following their departure, the members at the base began discussing among themselves.

“Hmph! What's with their attitude? They were clearly looking down on us.”

“I can't believe they even told us to feel free to ask for their help. Ha! We should consider ourselves lucky if they

don't try to kick us when we're down.”

“We should steer clear of people like them because they may just be the ones to target us in the future.”

“That's right. Anyone who offers to help us for no reason is definitely up to no good!”

Meanwhile, Declan and the other bodyguards were also complaining among themselves.

“D*mn those stupid people. Do you reckon they've suffered some form of brain damage on their way here?”

“How dare a group of newbies like them disrespects more experienced seniors like us. They must be clueless about

our status on Theos Island.”

“Hmph! They're just a bunch of ignorant fools. We shouldn't stoop to their level.”

“Declan, their terrible attitude has illustrated many potential problems that may arise should we ally with them.

Hence, we'll count on you to persuade Ms. Phoenix to reconsider this decision.”

Declan didn't assent. Instead, he suddenly stretched out his hand to halt the other three bodyguards.

“What's the matter?”

They gazed at Declan in bafflement.

Declan replied, “Someone's coming.”

Someone's here?

The quartet instantly tensed up. They swiftly positioned themselves with their backs touching and observed their

surroundings.

Their lives were constantly in danger when they were in Centuria's district, especially when the traveling party

consisted of merely three to four people, so they had to take that situation seriously.

Soon, a white figure dashed out from the nearby bamboo forest. “Declan, don't panic. It's me!”

When the four bodyguards realized the identity of the white figure, they let out a sigh of relief. “It's you, Platinum.

Why are you here alone?”

That man, dressed in a white outfit, was the Centurion of Platinumion, Platinum. The bodyguards usually addressed

him as Platinum.

It was a well-known fact that Platinum was interested in Phoenix. He had pursued her relentlessly, but she remained

unfazed.

After that, he got under her skin, prompting her to commence a war between the two Centurias. Both parties

suffered great losses in that battle. Following that, Platinum learned his lesson and toned down the intensity of his

effort to win Phoenix's affection.

Of course, he hadn't given up on his goal all those years, so he would occasionally visit Phoenix to harass her.

Platinum uttered halfheartedly, “I'm in a bad mood, so I came out to take a walk.”

After listening to his answer, the quartet was amused because they knew Platinum was obviously missing Phoenix,

so he chose to loiter near Phoenixion's territory.

Platinum didn't dare to enter Phoenixion, fearing Phoenix might initiate another all-out battle between the two

groups.

“By the way, what are you guys doing?” Platinum asked curiously.

Declan uttered, “Ah, I don't want to talk about it. I'm not sure if you've heard the news, but a newly-promoted

Centurion has replaced Calix.”

“Yes. I got wind of that matter.”

“We received an order from Ms. Phoenix to meet with that new Centurion. I can't fathom Ms. Phoenix's intention for

wanting to form an alliance with him.”

“Alas. How is a newbie like him qualified to gain Ms. Phoenix's favor? Ms. Phoenix is being reckless this time.”
