Phoenix replied, “We were not kicked out of Eurasia by Zeke Williams.”
“However, it still had something to do with him.”
“Back when our teacher taught us, he wanted us to become the pillars of support for Eurasia, so that we could protect the country.”
“In other words, he wanted us to become the Great Marshals.”
“However, our master took in Zeke Williams as his disciple in a coincidence.”
“Zeke had a talent that was way beyond us. He only learned under our Master for a year, but his ability has surpassed us.”
“After a year, our teacher went to explore the world and left us.”
“Before he left, he reminded us repeatedly that we have to assist Zeke so he could become the Great Marshal.”
“At that time, your father and us were already quite well-known.”
“Your father was an Imperial Teacher, and we were The Four Divinities. Zeke Williams was only an insignificant military captain then. Of course, we were discontented that we have to give everything up to assist him.”
“We felt rather helpless, so we wanted to challenge him.”
“If he won, we would be subordinates to him. If he lost, we would kill him and take over his position to become the leading man of Eurasia.”
“One night, we masked up and attacked Zeke Williams’ camp. We fought him for three hundred rounds.”
“The result was..., the Great Marshal is indeed the Great Marshal. He singlehandedly destroyed the four of us, so we had no choice but to leave the country.”
“Of course, Zeke also paid dearly for the battle. There were many who died or were injured in his camp.”
“The deputy commander, who was like his godfather, died in our hands too.”
Connor asked, “What about my father? Was he involved in that attack?”
Phoenix shook his head as he replied, “No.”
“Your father has great respect for our Master. He listened to his teachings.”
“He was already an Imperial Teacher then. However, he stepped down from his position and assisted Zeke Williams in order to make him the Great Marshal.”
Connor remarked, “Oh yes, I remember something now. There is a picture of him and an elderly in his room.”
“The background is a snow peak in the North Zone.”
“Is the old man your Master?”
Phoenix nodded, “Yes, indeed. It is the only picture of him when he was around.”
Connor gritted his teeth. “Zeke killed my father and destroyed my entire family.”
“Even you guys were destroyed by him and had no choice but to leave Eurasia.”
“We have to take our revenge!”
Phoenix nodded, “The Four Divinities combined forces with Jeffrey to form the Satan Forces. Apart from keeping a stronghold in the United States, our main aim is to destroy the Great Marshal with our own hands and to take our revenge.”
“Unfortunately, the Great Marshal is extremely strong, and we were not his match then.”
“Now, even though his life force is injured, he took in the Captain of the Seal Mercenary Team, Tyler Collins, as his subordinate.”
“Tyler Collins killed Chris in one shot. I can’t imagine how powerful he must be.”
“If we were at our peak, perhaps we might stand a chance of killing him.”
“However, our life force was partially destructed by the Great Marshal and have not been able to fully recover...”
Connor was deep in thought and asked, “So in other words, does it mean that as long as you recover fully, you would be able to kill the Great Marshal?”
Phoenix nodded, “Yes, that’s possible.”
Connor smiled, “It is not difficult to recover your life force.”
“As long as your condition is not like the case of Zeke Williams, who had his life force utterly damaged, I can help you with it.”
Oh?
The Four Divinities looked excited as they stared at him, “What plans do you have?”
