Chapter 2582


    The battlefield fell utterly silent in the wake of the survivors of tinumionying down their arms.


    Scar Face maintained order while Phoenix and Apollyon were doing the death count.


    Apollyon chuckled. “Will you go back on your word when Mr. Williams brings tinum back, Phoenix?”


    “Preposterous! I am famed for my reputation of keeping my word. I always deliver on my promise!”


    Phoenix replied haughtily. “However, I am concerned that he would be beaten to death by tinum.


    Even if he survived the beating, his empty-handed return here would be humiliating. Hah! I am going to


    give Zeke thembasting of his life, and don''t you dare defend him. I''ll go harder on him if you do.”


    Apollyon was confident. “I still have faith in Mr. Williams. He has never let me down.”


    “Is that so? Why don''t we have our own wager, Apollyon?” Phoenix suggested.


    Apollyonughed. “All right. What would you like to bet on?”


    “If Mr. Williams captures tinum, I will do whatever you ask. If he fails, both of you will have to call me


    Grandma. How about that?”


    Apollyon considered it before making up his mind with a chuckle. “I don''t mind since I''ve lost all my


    dignity during my years in the outermost districts anyway. I would even worship you if you so wish.


    Here''s my term: if Mr. Williams does capture tinum, you spend the night with him. How about that?”


    Phoenix''s anger zed. “How dare you propose such nonsense? Scoundrel! I''ll tear your tongue out!”


    Apollyon shrugged. “I can''t force you to agree to it. We''ll call off the bet, then.”


    “Hang on! I''ll do anything else; just change the term. What you want me to do is disgusting!” Phoenix


    protested.


    Apollyon shook his head. “No, it has to be this. Make up your mind. I don''t have time for meaningless


    wagers.”


    You...


    Phoenix could not bear Apollyon''s torment any longer. “Fine, I promise,” she said while gritting her


    teeth.


    “It''s a deal, then.”


    Apollyon was gleeful.


    Mr. Williams would be delighted if he knew of the stake and might even give me better tips in my


    cultivation!


    As he was lost in thought, a thump suddenly sounded behind Phoenix.


    What was that?


    Phoenix jumped in surprise before turning around, and her heart began to race when she got a good


    look.


    It''s a corpse!


    The deceased had died a gruesome death, it seemed. The body was covered in blood, and his


    stomach, chest, and face were covered in irregr ruptures as if his insides had tried to explode out of


    him.


    “Who the f*ck did this?” Phoenix screeched, livid.


    Apollyon was also unnerved. “This man just fell from the sky... Hang on. I think I know who did it,” he


    uttered with a gasp.


    “Who?” Phoenix demanded.


    “Mr. Williams, if I''m not mistaken,” Apollyon replied.


    Phoenix frowned. “How do you know?”


    He pointed. “Look closer. Is this tinum?”


    Eh?


    Phoenix''s eyes seared as they gazed upon the corpse.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Then, she grew nervous.


    The outfit was indeed tinum''s. She had not recognized it immediately as it had been dyed red with


    blood.


    Also, his frame and disfigured face were very simr to tinum''s.


    Is this a coincidence, or could Zeke have really caught up to and killed tinum?


    Another thud sounded behind her as she was lost in thought.


    Phoenix jumped. Whipping around, she found herself face-to-face with Zeke.
