“Nothing! It's nothing!” Apollyon shook his hands vehemently.
“Don't just stand there. Let's join in the battle too,” Phoenix urged.
“Okay!”
Phoenix and Apollyon joined in the battle between the normal members.
The entry of two Archdukes into the battle was akin to two hungry wolves making their way into a flock of sheep.
They crushed the Platinumion members with ease.
Phoenix roared, “Members of Platinumion, listen up! Surrender now, and I'll spare your life. If you continue to resist,
I'll slaughter you!”
A member of Platinumion asked, “Do you give your word, Phoenix?”
Phoenix retorted, “Of course! When have I ever gone back on my words?”
“Okay, I'll join you.”
Since Platinum had already ditched them and fled, what was the point of them continuing to resist? They knew they
would still die in the end even if they resisted and took down a dozen others with them, so why wouldn't they submit

In less than five minutes, the battle had ended.
The survivors of Platinumion had all thrown in the towel.
Phoenixion won a complete victory.
Meanwhile, after Zeke disappeared from Phoenix's line of sight, he pushed himself to the fastest he could and
pursued Platinum.
In less than a minute, Zeke had rushed past Platinum and halted in front of him.
Platinum was fleeing as fast as he could when a figure appeared out of the blue in front of him, sending chills
running down his spine.
“Who is it?” Platinum asked cautiously.
Zeke slowly turned around. “Me.”
Platinum's mind was blown away when he saw it was Zeke.
What the f*ck! Where did he come from? Why is he here? I saw Zeke standing unmoving when I fled earlier, so how
did he get ahead of me in a blink of an eye? Is his speed faster than mine? That... is very unlikely.
Platinum's greatest strength was fleeing. Until that day, no one in Centuria's district could outrun him.
Or can it be that Zeke has a twin brother, and this guy standing in front of me is his twin? Even I don't believe that.
Platinum's heart pounded, but he kept a calm front. “It's you, Zeke! How did you get in front of me?”
Zeke answered, “What a stupid question. I caught up to you, of course.”
Platinum asked, “You're faster than me?”
Fast?
Zeke smiled. “Oh? Do you think you're fast?”
Platinum didn't know how to respond to Zeke's taunt.
If he's saying I'm slow, then how fast is he? It looks like this guy in front of me is more powerful than I thought. I
underestimated him.
Platinum knew he had nowhere to run and sighed. “All right. I admit I've lost to you, Zeke. Why don't we do it this
way? Spare my life, and I can concede to you and only take your orders. How about that?”
Zeke shook his head. “Sorry, you're not worthy enough to be my subordinate.”
Why you?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnger rushed through Platinum at Zeke's quip.
I'm Platinum, the leader of Platinumion, yet he's telling me I'm not worthy enough to be his subordinate? He sure
talks big!
Platinum said, “Think it through, Zeke! You don't get any benefit by rejecting me. I know I'm not a match for you,
but if I detonate my life force, it'll harm you all the same. Besides, my subordinates are loyal to me. They'll put their
lives on the line to avenge my death. Your Centuria won't get any peace and quiet.”
“Haha!”
Zeke suddenly burst out laughing.
Platinum frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
Zeke mocked, “A pest threatening a human. Don't you think that's hilarious?”
Platinum's heart clenched.
I'm nothing but a pest in Zeke's eyes. He doesn't even consider me his equal. D*mn! Where did he come from, and
what is his background? How powerful is he to say something so presumptuous? What an arrogant man.
The threat of imminent death loomed over Platinum.
