Of course, things were just as bad for Platinum.
He couldn't sleep a wink that night as he was eager to head over to Phoenixion at dawn to see how it was doing.
Being a cautious man, he couldn't rest easy until he confirmed that both sides were truly worn from battle.
When dawn came, Platinum headed straight for Phoenixion as quickly as he could. Upon arriving outside its door,
he saw that the place was a total mess.
Everyone in there looks exhausted and dispirited. Their bodies are covered in blood and wounds. There are lots of
women sobbing in a corner over there. I'm guessing their husbands have died in battle. It looks like Phoenixion
suffered some pretty heavy casualties...
Whatever doubt he had in the back of his head was gone in that very instant.
One of the members of Phoenixion recognized Platinum and stepped forward to greet him, “What brings you here
today, Mr. Platinum?”

He then glanced about and asked, “What happened to you guys? Why is Phoenixion in such a mess?”
The other guy let out a huge sigh. “Obviously, we lost a battle. What do you think happened?”
Platinum pretended to know nothing about it as he asked, “Battle? What battle? Who were you guys fighting?”
The guy let out another sigh as he replied, “That new guy and his men. You have no idea how arrogant and
obnoxious they were! It's a shame we didn't get to kill them all!”
“What? How dare they behave so insolently? This is unacceptable! It looks like I'll have to show him the true power
of my Centuria!” Platinum yelled angrily. He then glanced about as he asked, “By the way, how is Phoenix? Is she
injured?”
“I think you should go see for yourself.”
“All right.”
Platinum then rushed over to Phoenix's room and knocked on the door. “Hey, Phoenix! It's me, Platinum! Open up!”
“What are you doing here?” Phoenix asked after a brief pause.
“I heard you got into a battle with the newcomer, so I came to pay you a visit,” Platinum replied.
“I'm fine. You can go now,” Phoenix said.
Platinum let out a disappointed sigh in response. “Why must you treat me like this, Phoenix? I came here because
I'm genuinely worried about you.”
“Fine, you may come in,” Phoenix replied after another brief pause.
Platinum quickly opened the door and went inside.
Upon entering her room, he saw her bandaging a wound on her leg. Phoenix quickly covered her wound with her
pant leg when she saw Platinum.
“How's your injury, Phoenix? I have some medication available. I'll have someone bring it over after I get back,”
Platinum said worriedly.
“It's a mild injury, so that won't be necessary. Anyway, you can go now,” Phoenix replied coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You know how I feel about you, Phoenix. Why must you be so cold to me?” Platinum asked with a helpless look on
his face.
“Because you're not my type. It's impossible between us,” Phoenix replied.
“Either way, my love for you will never change. I will avenge you, Phoenix. You don't need to thank me for it or
anything, though. I just want to do something for you because it'll make me feel a lot better,” Platinum said.
Phoenix simply remained silent.
Realizing that was probably his cue to leave, Platinum got up and said, “Anyway, I'll get going now. The next time I
come back, I'll be bringing Zeke's severed head with me.”
Instead of heading back after leaving Phoenix's room, Platinum wandered around the base and pretended to check
on the wounded while he searched for Declan.
Eventually, he saw Declan bandaging a wounded member in a corner.
Since he and Declan weren't exactly close friends, Platinum refrained from greeting him publicly to avoid arousing
suspicion.
Instead, he winked at Declan and gestured at him to go somewhere secluded.
