Fearful of retribution from Sebastian, Monkey exclaimed, “Wait, Phoenix! Wait, I'll bring you to meet Sebastian. I

was only joking earlier, please don't take it to heart.”

“That's more like it,” muttered Phoenix. “Come on then. Let's meet Sebastian.”

Soon enough, they arrived at Sebastian's base.

The scale and luxury of the “base” spoke volumes about how wealthy the Northern Faction was compared to the

Southern Faction.

Sebastian was one of the lowest-ranked Centurions in the Northern Faction, yet his base camp was as lavish as that

of the Southern Faction's leader, Draco.

It was easy to deduce that the Northern Faction's leader would surely boast a more opulent base camp.

In other words, the Northern Faction possessed more Spirit Stones than their southern adversaries.

Monkey said to them, “Wait here, Phoenix. I'll inform Sebastian about your arrival.”

“Sure,” replied Phoenix simply.

She led Zeke and the others to some empty seats.

Shortly after Monkey's departure, boisterous laughter rang out from the most luxurious house on the base. A

bearded man strolled out of the house and boomed, “Ah, my dear Phoenix. What a joy it is to see you again. You

must be here because you miss me. I'm over the moon!”

Disgust swelled in Phoenix's chest at his cringy display.

Still, she mustered a smile and replied, “Yes, Sebastian. It has been a while.”

Sebastian's smiley demeanor belied the displeasure brimming in his chest.

Why didn't she stand up to greet me? How disrespectful! Playing hard to get, is it? You have plenty of time to do

that once I get you in bed. That's exactly my style.

He remained suspicious of Phoenix's motives. He did not believe she would willingly surrender out of the blue.

So what? Her motives aren't important to me. She's on my turf now, and I'm not letting her escape!

Sebastian's smile widened as he asked, “I'm happy that you're defecting to my side, Phoenix. But I have to ask; is

someone picking on you in the Southern Faction? Is that why you're defecting?”

Phoenix sighed and said, “How could you not know, Sebastian? We have a new leader in the Southern Faction now.

He has ill intentions toward me and harasses me all the time. Thus, I have no choice but to come to you for

protection.”

As she spoke, she glanced furtively at Zeke to gauge his reaction.

Alas, Zeke's non-reaction disappointed her.

Phoenix was floored. I can basically confirm that Zeke is a certified blockhead!

Meanwhile, everyone was stunned after hearing Phoenix's words.

“My goodness. Did I hear that right? The Southern Faction has a new leader now.”

“Who usurped the Southern Faction's Dragon King? Or did the man himself step down?”

“Dragon King is too powerful. It's pretty impossible for someone to dethrone him. I guess he must've abdicated his

position.”

“I'd like to know about this new successor!”

Sebastian was equally intrigued and asked, “Tell me more about what happened in the Southern Faction, Phoenix.”

She replied, “A strong newcomer fought his way right into the Centurion's district and defeated Dragon King. That's

how he took control of the Southern Faction.”

A newcomer!

Everyone was shocked.

Sebastian declared, “Well, I don't care who he is. If he's harassing my dear Phoenix, he's as good as my enemy.

Don't worry. I'll punish him for his misdeeds.”

Before Phoenix could utter a word, a familiar voice sounded in her mind. “Enough with the small talk. I need you to

distract Sebastian so we can look for the vault holding the Spirit Stones.”

What's that voice?

“It's me, Zeke. I'm communicating with you through your mind. You don't have to speak up to reply to me. Just think

about your response will do.”

Phoenix swallowed nervously and followed his instructions. “Tell me. What kind of a warrior are you? How can you

communicate with someone through their minds?”
