Chapter 2554


    Den 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 Den 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, Den 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 wee 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 rtionship with you instead of bing your


    enemy.”


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


    to our Centurion.”


    “Let''s go!” Den 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, Den and the other bodyguards were alsoining 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 Ind.”


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


    “Den, 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.”


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


    “What''s the matter?”


    They gazed at Den in bafflement.


    Den replied, “Someone''sing.”


    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. “Den, 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,


    tinum. Why are you here alone?”


    That man, dressed in a white outfit, was the Centurion of tinumion, tinum. The bodyguards


    usually addressed him as tinum.


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


    she remained unfazed.


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


    parties suffered great losses in that battle. Following that, tinum 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 asionally visit Phoenix to


    harass her.


    tinum 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 tinum was obviously


    missing Phoenix, so he chose to loiter near Phoenixion''s territory.


    tinum 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?” tinum asked curiously.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Den 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 reced 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.”


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


    this time.”
