Chapter 2562


    “Common sense dictates that the mastermind is instigating us into starting a war, putting him in an


    advantageous position. He wants us to suffer heavy losses, so we will do precisely what he wants, and


    he will show himself sooner orter,” Zeke borated.


    Are you dumb?


    Phoenix made an affronted expression. “That''s a terrible idea. I didn''te from a long line of history


    to be bait for a single person. Am I supposed to rebuild my army? What if he conquers my army? What,


    then? Tears wouldn''t help me at that point.”


    Zeke was at a loss for words. “Are you pulling my leg, or do you really not get what I''m saying? We''re


    obviously not going to put up a real fight. It''s all for a show, and we''ll fabricate a false appearance of a


    great loss. How about this? Tonight you''ll lead a team to ambush me, and we''ll battle each other while


    our men pretend to be wounded or dead. If everything goes ording to n, the mastermind will


    reveal themselves tonight or tomorrow. The truth will be clear by that time.”


    She nodded. “You''re right. Very well then, the sneak attack is scheduled for tonight, so make your


    preparations ordingly.”


    “Let''s put on a convincing show,” he said.


    “How?” she asked.


    His gaze flitted to the two subordinates standing behind her. “These two will have to stay with me and


    do a little more work.”


    “Why are you holding my men hostage?” Phoenix was wary.


    Zeke exined patiently, “In actuality, these two are killed by me, and we have reached an untenable


    position. This will be a justifiable reason for tonight''s ambush, and no one will suspect we''re staging a


    performance.”


    “That makes sense. Okay, let''s do as you say.” She offered a nod.


    She ordered her subordinates, “You''re both dead men now. Why aren''t you lying on the ground? You


    must remain motionless like corpses before the n is a sess.”


    Understood!


    Both of them immediately copsed on the ground and closed their eyes, not moving a muscle.


    Then, Phoenix suddenly mmed her fist into Zeke. “Go to hell, you jerk!”


    Huh?


    Fortunately, he blocked her attack deftly and pretended she had sent him sailing in the air.


    In reality, her attack was merely a tickle to him, but he didn''t want her to know his true capabilities, so


    he feigned a reaction.


    Phoenix barged out of the door and roared, “Zeke, you dared to touch my men? That''s it! There can


    only be you or me on Theos Ind!”


    Then, she quickly took her leave.


    Zeke was dumbstruck. She may be dense, but her acting skills are decent.


    He thought they were really turning on each other for a second there.


    Apollyon and everyone present watched with their hearts pounding.


    They recognized it was a divisive strategy and had hoped Zeke would resolve the misunderstanding.


    Having more enemies would put them at a disadvantage here.


    To their surprise, not only did Zeke not smooth things over, but he had killed Phoenix''s subordinates.


    This means trouble. Our Centuria may be the subject of public criticism.


    Apollyon looked at Zeke and asked, “Mr. Williams, should we go after her?”


    Getting rid of Phoenix would dismantle her Centuria, preventing her people from attacking them.


    Zeke shook his head. “Forget about it. Let her go. I''ve taught her a lesson, so she wouldn''te back


    here again.”


    All right!


    Apollyon heaved a rueful sigh. “Mr. Williams, I think Phoenix wouldn''t let this go easily and will strike


    back. What should we do next?”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
