Scar Face said in surprise, “Ms. Phoenix, if I hear it right, you're saying that Declan... wants to betray Phoenixion?”
Phoenix nodded solemnly. “The matter has been confirmed. However, we can't announce it yet so as not to alert
our enemy. You must act stealthily for what I've ordered you. Do you understand?”
Scar Face nodded repeatedly. “I understand. I will keep a close watch on Declan's family.”
“You can leave now.”
Scar Face walked out with a dumbfounded expression.
Everyone knew that the four guards, especially Declan, were loyal to Phoenix. Declan had even once taken a blade
for Phoenix using his body.
The four guards were the least likely people in Phoenixion to betray Phoenix.
To his surprise, the first to betray Phoenix was Declan.
He concluded that one should never judge a book by its cover.
However, Scar Face wasn't livid at all. In fact, he even secretly felt a little happy.
If Declan were still loyal to Phoenix, Scar Face would have to play second fiddle to Declan, no matter how powerful
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe was.
Yet, Declan had betrayed Phoenix. The latter would definitely punish him severely and even take his life.
At that time, Scar Face would be held in high regard!
Phoenix must value him a lot to entrust him with such an important task.
He could already foresee the bright future that awaited him.
After Declan sneaked out of Phoenixion, he ran all the way to Platinumion, where Platinum was.
At the door, the guard of Platinumion blocked Declan's way. “Stop! Who are you? Why do you come to
Platinumion?”
Declan gasped and said, “I-I am from Phoenixion. I have something important to inform Mr. Platinum.”
The guard said indifferently, “Do you have any appointment with Mr. Platinum?”
Declan said, “I don't need an appointment to meet him. Can you please inform him that I'm here?”
“Hmph!” The guard snorted. “Mr. Platinum is busy and has no time to meet you. Please leave now.”
Frustrated, Declan stood at the door and shouted, “Mr. Platinum, I am Declan from Phoenixion. I have come to see
you and have something important to inform you.”
D*mn!
The guard berated, “How dare you cause trouble at the door of Platinumion? Are you seeking death? Go to hell,
jerk!”
With that, the guard was ready to attack Declan.
“Stop!”
Right then, an authoritative voice stopped the guard.
It was from their Centurion, Platinum.
The guard at the door immediately stopped attacking Declan. He turned around and knelt on the ground. “Good
day, Mr. Platinum!”
Platinum reprimanded, “The gentleman here is my esteemed guest. He's also an honored guest of Platinumion.
How dare you be so rude to him? “
Ahhh!
The guard was scared senseless.
He couldn't believe that the insignificant man standing in front of him was actually Platinum's esteemed guest.

Who is this guy? Why does Mr. Platinum respect him this much?
The guard's legs gave out beneath him, and he dropped to the ground in an instant.
“Mr. Platinum, I'm sorry. Please spare my life...”
Platinum said, “There's no use to beg forgiveness from me.”
The guard immediately got on his knees and apologized profusely, “Sir, I shouldn't have treated you disrespectfully.
I'm sorry that I've offended you. I'm begging for your forgiveness. Please spare my life. Please forgive me...”
At this moment, Declan was flattered beyond words.
He never expected Platinum to be so courteous to him.
Platinum was even willing to sacrifice one of his men's lives to appease him.
He enjoyed being the target of worshipping. Declan almost lost himself in the feeling of being someone high and
mighty.
He was having the time of his life.
Haha, it seems like I've picked the right side this time.
Declan said with his chin held up high, “I won't stoop to your level this time. Make sure this never happens again!”
The guard let out a sigh of relief and thanked Declan repeatedly.
