“How did you know Phoenix?”
On their way back, Lizbeth asked Jared curiously.
“What do you mean?” Jared played dumb.
“Stop pretending in front of me. Why would the head of Phoenix Regiment be so polite with you? Don't tell me that she's interested in you...”
Lizbeth sat in the passenger's seat and stared at Jared closely as though she wanted to get some clue out of Jared's expression.
Yet, there was no trace of emotional turbulence on his face.
“Hmm... maybe you're right. Who knows? After all, all women like handsome men!” Jared joked.
“Stop fooling around. If you don't want to tell me, then get out of the car. I'm not going to interfere in your business from now on!” Lizbeth threatened.
Jared flashed her a weak smile. He then told Lizbeth about the incident where he went to Phoenix Bar with Oliver and got into a conflict with the Phoenix regiment. That was how he encountered Pheonix later on.
However, he did not tell Lizbeth that Phoenix was the subordinate of the Dragon Sect. He only said that he defeated Phoenix in the end. That was why the latter treated him respectfully.
“You defeated Phoenix?” Lizbeth was overwhelmed with shock.
“Why are you so surprised by that?”
Jared stared at Lizbeth with a puzzled look.
“Well, if you could defeat Phoenix, maybe you can defeat Zachariah too. Zachariah became a Grandmaster of internal energy a long time ago. I heard Phoenix, too, had become one. We won't need to fear the Jantz family if that's the case!”
Lizbeth's face was filled with excitement. If Jared can defeat Zachariah, everything will be settled!
“I thought I told you earlier that the Jantz family has never been a problem for me?” Jared scoffed.
“All right. Stop bluffing. The Jantz family has other elites other than Zachariah, you know. You still need to be careful.”
Lizbeth tried to put out the flames of pride in Jared’s heart.
