Phoenix scanned her surroundings before her gaze landed on Scar Face.
Besides Calix, Scar Face was considered the most powerful in Calixion. He was known as the second-in-command.
Since Calix was not present, she could only converse with Scar Face.
Scar Face was in a miserable state, seeing that his hand was broken by Megahead.
With a stern expression, Phoenix asked, “Scar Face, tell me. Is Calix really dead?”
Scar Face was overcome with grief as he wept. “Ms. Phoenix, do you think we would use our Centurion's life as a
joke? Mr. Calix's really dead. You have to avenge him for us.” He continued sobbing.
Phoenix took a deep breath and scanned the surroundings once more. She replied uneasily, “Come in and explain
the entirety of the situation to me.”
“Of course!”
Phoenix brought Scar Face into a small office which was beside them.
She quickly located a medical kit to clean up Scar Face's wounds before asking, “Tell me how all of this happened.”

After hearing that, Phoenix was dazed for a long moment. “Apollyon from Archfiends? How did he reach Archduke
without anyone helping him? Did a Centurion give him pointers? However, that's not possible. In order to prevent
any Contubernia in the outer district from challenging our authority, we have agreed to keep the technique a secret
from them.”
Scar Face immediately replied, “Oh, right. Ms. Phoenix, Apollyon is no longer Decanus. Someone else has taken
over him.”
Oh?
Phoenix cast a curious glance at Scar Face. “Didn't you say that Apollyon was the strongest Decanus in the outer
district? How did someone replace him?”
Scar Face answered hastily, “Ms. Phoenix, a newcomer defeated Apollyon, so the latter willingly resigned from his
position as Decanus for him. Oh, right. Apollyon must have been insinuating that it was the newcomer who had
assisted him in improving his abilities. I suspect the newcomer must be a warrior!”
Phoenix was instantly intrigued by the newcomer. “A newcomer! What is he like? How long has he been here? Has
he done anything special or shocking?”
Scar Face answered, “I'm not sure. I only found out about him just now, as I have never heard of him before.”
Phoenix nodded. “All right. I understand. The key to this matter lies in this newcomer. I'll send someone to look into
this.”
Scar Face sobbed and said miserably, “Ms. Phoenix, you must seek revenge for Mr. Calix. He died a horrible death.”
Avenge?
Phoenix could not help but sneer inwardly.
Why would I offend a living person for a dead person? You must be insane. Don't try to claim the moral ground with
me. I won't be affected.
However, she did not outrightly reject him. She asked gently, “Scar Face, let me ask you. Who is more powerful,
Calix or me?”
Scar Face contemplated it for a while before answering, “I guess you guys have your own strengths.”

Phoenix nodded. “Then, you mentioned that the visitor assisted Apollyon in strengthening his skills. So, do you think
the newcomer or Apollyon is stronger?”
Scar Face replied, “Logically speaking, the newcomer should be stronger.”
“That's right. It's because Apollyon killed Calix. Do you think I can win against Apollyon and the newcomer, then?”
Phoenix remarked.
This...
Scar Face hesitated.
Phoenix sighed and continued, “To be completely honest with you, Scar Face, I yearn to avenge Calix much more
than you do. However, if I do it, I'll undoubtedly die or suffer grave injuries. This battle may potentially result in
Phoenixion's demise. You won't even have a place to stay at that point. I can't stand by as my comrades perish
pointlessly. Therefore, I can only restrain myself from exacting revenge on Calix for the sake of Phoenixion. Of
course, I'll support you entirely in your efforts to exact revenge on Calix. However, there would be only the two of
us. We won't drag Phoenixion into this. What do you think?”
