Arlo spoke and was about to attack L, signaling Theodore at the same time. He wanted Theodore to focus on “Callum” and not let this beautiful woman escape while he dealt with “Landon.”


    Theodore nodded, “Mr. Hernandez, rest assured!”


    Arlo sneered at L, “I know you have tough skin and strong defenses, enduring a hit from the early Core Formation stage. However, resisting one hit doesn’t mean you can withstand my ten or hundred strikes! If there’s a way to heaven, you won’t take it; if there’s no way to hell, you’ll break in! Do you still want to y the hero? Haha, being a heroes with a price!”


    “Die!”


    With that, Arlo shook the spear in his hand, ready to strike L.


    L snorted, facing Arlo’s murderous intent. Despite the threat, a trace of indifference appeared in his starry eyes. “Who dies is still uncertain!”


    However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, “Stop!”


    Swish!


    The next second, L felt a fragrant breeze, and before his eyes, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared.


    “Phoebe?”


    Arlo, seeing the captivating figure standing between him and L, showed surprise on his face.


    “Miss Bishop?”


    Theodore was also taken aback.


    Savannah, equally astonished, looked at the powerful young mistress of the Hudpids Sect.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    L frowned but stopped without revealing any emotion. He hadn’t expected Phoebe to appear at this moment, and the situation seemed unusual. Was she trying to protect him?


    “Enough! This conflict ends here,” Phoebe said calmly.


    Upon hearing this, Arlo’s face flickered several times. “Phoebe, what are you doing? Why are you helping him? Don’t forget, this guy disrespected you before. I was nning to kill him to vent your frustrations!”


    Phoebe’s expression darkened, and she cast a disdainful look at Arlo. As a woman, she had overheard everything Arlo and Theodore had nned to do to Savannah.


    “We’re not that close. Call me by my full name or Miss Bishop. Otherwise, don’t me me for being impolite. Also, your personal grievances are your own problem. I won’t take on this favor.”


    Phoebe’s words were icy.


    Originally, the Hernandez family was an affiliated force of the Hudpids Sect, and Arlo had been pursuing her. At least, he had acted like apdog, calling her “Phoebe,” and she hadn’t bothered to correct him. However, witnessing his recent actions had only intensified her disgust.


    Arlo’s expression froze, revealing a hint of embarrassment.


    Nheless, he still red at L, unwilling to ept it, and asked Phoebe, “Well… Miss Bishop, why? Why are you helping this guy? Last time, you stopped our duel. He doesn’t know how to appreciate your kindness. Have you forgotten? This guy must have offended you.”


    Phoebe, with a cold nce at L, maintained her calm and said, “Exactly because he doesn’t appreciate it and has offended me, you can’t kill him now.”


    Then, her tone became firm, and she addressed L unequivocally, “From now on, you and your fellow disciple will follow me!”


    “Follow you? Why should I?” L frowned upon hearing Phoebe’s domineering words.


    “What if I refuse?” he added.


    “Refuse? I’ll kill you both then,” Phoebe responded with a snort.


    Hearing this, L’s pupils contracted. After staring at Phoebe for a while, he shrugged as if resigned, “Fine, you’re amazing! I’ll follow you! Following a beautiful woman like Miss Bishop is something I can only dream of. Hehe…”


    Phoebe coldly chuckled, her eyes filled with a mocking expression, akin to a hunter looking at its prey.


    Subsequently, Theodore’s and Arlo’s groups reluctantly parted ways. Although Arlo wished to apany the beautiful Phoebe, he understood the importance of achieving a good ranking in the personal trial rather than sticking close to Phoebe and gaining nothing.


    After Savannah tended to her injuries, Phoebe led L and Savannah towards the direction of the towering mountain peak.


    Throughout the journey, Phoebe walked ahead without showing any intention of conversing with L or Savannah. She remained cold and aloof.


    “Hey! What did she make you follow her for?” Savannah, lowering her voice, asked as they walked.


    L, too, was puzzled, feeling like it might not be a good thing. “I don’t know! Maybe she finds me handsome and took a liking to me.”


    Hearing this, Savannah rolled her eyes and sneered, “She took a liking to you? You’re thinking too highly of yourself, huh?”


    L chuckled, teasingly saying, “Well, what else could it be? She stopped Arlo from dueling me the first time, and this time, a beautiful woman saved a hero. If that’s not her taking a liking to me, then what is it?”


    As they spoke, Savannah made a disgusted face and mocked, “Landon, I really don’t know where you get your confidence from.”


    “I don’t know either!”


    At that moment, Phoebe’s cold voice rang out, interrupting their conversation.


    She stood still, looking at L with a slightly amused and disgusted expression. “A truly clueless man! The only reason I kept you is that you still have some use to me! In short, you are now my tool, understand?”


    “Tool?”


    “What do you mean? How am I useful to you?” L’s face darkened, expressing both confusion and displeasure.


    Phoebe, with an air of cold arrogance, said indifferently, “You’ll know when the timees.”


    Meanwhile, on the other side!


    Boom!


    Apanied by a muffled thunder-like sound, Benjamin and Finn each staggered backward.


    Between these two young powerhouses, a sense of solemn killing intent lingered.


    “Benjamin, today I will make you fall beneath my Nine Abyssal ws!”


    “You skinny monkey, with just you? Today, I’ll cut you down with my de for a drink!”
