“We need talk, you say?” Phoenix sniggered. “What makes you think you have the right to?”
He stared at Cameron with eyes full of disdain as a smirk formed on his lips.
Since when did a good–for–nothing who leeched off women like Cameron has the right to talk to someone like Phoenix?
“What is it? Are you afraid?” Cameron met Phoenix’s gaze equally.
“It seems to me that you won’t realize your mistake until I teach you a lesson!” Phoenix roared, his gaze dark. “I was magnanimous enough to let things slide, but you insist on making things worse.”
He continued, “Well then, I’ll grant you your wish!”
He had no idea why Cameron wanted to talk to him in private, but he couldn’t stop the exhilaration he felt at the idea that he could beat Cameron up.
“Phoenix, can’t you just shut up for a second or two?” Lena reprimanded, after realizing the crazed look on Cameron’s face.
“It’s not my fault, Colonel,” Phoenix responded, spreading his hands with his palms upward as if he were innocent. “That punk’s the one who suggested it.”
Lena was pissed beyond words. If Phoenix hadn’t made those derogatory remarks about Cameron’s mother, Cameron wouldn’t have made that suggestion.
“Let’s go, Vice Commander Phoenix,” said Cameron. His tone was calm, yet the wave of emotions that surged within him was nowhere near calm.
“Sure!” Phoenix didn’t notice anything off about Cameron.
There was even a glint of malevolence in his eyes as he said that. In fact, he couldn’t wait to
teach Cameron a lesson.
“Don’t act rashly, Cameron!” Lena yelled anxiously after them as Phoenix and Cameron walked off into the distance.
Cameron saw Lena’s gaze and knew that she was concerned about him. He was grateful that she was worried about him.
Still, his gaze turned sharp and grim as he said, “Colonel, I know you’re worried for me, but I’ll become a good–for–nothing for real if I choose to bear with what Phoenix said about my mom. You wouldn’t want me to become someone like that, right?”

He added, “Besides, the one I’m going to face is just Phoenix. It’s no big deal.”
His tone was light when he spoke the last sentence. That said, he headed straight for the
forest in the distance.
Stunned, Lena was rooted to the spot. Her gaze shifted as she stared at Cameron.
She couldn’t believe that he’d say something like that. He wasn’t usually like this. The feeling he gave off this time was totally different than what he appeared to be most of the
time.
It was as if he’d turned into a completely different person.
“Wait for me to return!” Phoenix told his men.
Then, with a sneer, he went after Cameron.
When Lena finally snapped out of her daze, she quickly called out, “Cameron
But Cameron and Phoenix had already walked into the forest.
Overwhelmed with anxiety, she stomped around. “Cameron, you fool! Why are you always so stubborn?”
Blackheart, who stood not far away from her, saw how frustrated she was. However, he knew how powerful Cameron was.
So, he tried to comfort her by telling her, “Colonel, don’t worry about him. He’s going to be just fine. We should head back into the car to wait for him.”
“Okay…” Although Lena was still concerned about Cameron, there was nothing she could do about it except wait for him.
She truly hoped that Cameron would return in one piece.
In the forest 500 feet away from Lena, Cameron and Phoenix stood in a clearing. It was tranquil here, so they wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone at all.
Cameron seemed particularly satisfied with the place they picked.
Crossing his arms, Phoenix glanced around and sniggered. “Well, well. You really know how to pick a spot to get yourself beaten up so that you wouldn’t embarrass yourself in front of others, don’t you?”
“Come to think of it, have you always been this full of yourself?” Cameron asked.

He looked right into Phoenix’s eyes. There was a shade of iciness in his gaze when he opened his mouth to speak again.
“How are you so sure that I didn’t choose this spot for you instead?”

Phoenix’s pupils shrunk as he stared back at Cameron, his expression darkening as he did so.
“To be honest, I’m really curious just who gave you the courage to talk to me like that,” he spat. “Anyway, what I’m telling you is that you should get away from Ms. Jones because you’re a nobody!”
He added, “I don’t get it. Just what did she see in you?”
Cameron replied, “You’ll get your answers very soon.”
