Apollyon commanded, “Surround them!”
Apollyon and his men had confidence in numbers, and they were not afraid of the three people. They immediately surrounded Phoenix and the two other people.
Meanwhile, Phoenix and her subordinates were shocked.
They had just arrived, but the soldiers surrounded them without saying anything. It was a serious display of provocation.
Were the men there so violent and unreasonable? Phoenix felt that if that was the case, the possibility of three of her guards being killed by them was very high.
At that moment, Phoenix's view of Zeke's character worsened considerably.
Phoenix sighed. “It looks like I have overrated Zeke's character. From the looks of it, my subordinates have been killed by you.”
Apollyon replied angrily, “Ha! We have not said anything yet, but you've accused us of doing what you have done.”
“Accused you of doing what we have done? I don't know what you're trying to say.”
Apollyon said, “We have a witness. Are you still not going to admit it?”
Phoenix was confused. “Admit what?”
Apollyon replied, “You really know how to put on an act. Come, see if she was the one who killed our comrades!”
The remaining survivor walked forward and scrutinized Phoenix.
He did not recognize Phoenix and did not know if the person that Platinum wanted to slander was the woman standing in front of him.
He said vaguely, “I didn't manage to catch a glimpse of her face, but her attire and figure look a lot like the murderer's.”
Apollyon chuckled coldly. “There shouldn't be another woman dressed like you on Theos Island. Are you still going to deny that you are the murderer?”
B*llsh*t!
Phoenix retorted through gritted teeth, “I have just arrived here! How can I kill anyone?”
Her subordinate hurriedly rushed over and asked, “When were your comrades killed?”
Apollyon replied, “Just ten minutes ago.”
Phoenix's comrade replied, “Then you have wrongly accused Ms. Phoenix. We have been walking together for half an hour and have just arrived. We did not separate during that time.”
Apollyon said, “You are her subordinate. Naturally, you'll speak up for her.”
Ha! How interesting!
Phoenix's smile did not reach her eyes. “The perpetrator often accuses others first. Let's put this matter aside first. Do you have an explanation for killing my people?”
Apollyon replied, “Killed your people? Who are you? I don't recognize you. How can I kill your people?”
Phoenix replied, “I'm the Centurion of Phoenixion. My name is Phoenix!”
Apollyon's wife, Floretta, immediately whispered, “Phoenixion had a good relationship with Calixion in the past. She's probably here because of Calix's death.”
Apollyon came to a sudden realization. “I see. I was wondering why you would create trouble for us for no reason. Phoenix, we had challenged Calix fairly. His abilities were too weak, and he died. He only has himself to blame. Furthermore, he held my wife captive for so many years. I have already shown him mercy by just taking his life.”
Phoenix replied, “Don't put on an act. I'm not referring to Calix but my three subordinates.”
“Your three subordinates? Are you referring to the four guards that had previously come over?” Apollyon asked.
“Of course,” Phoenix said.
Apollyon replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? Although their attitude was bad, and I was a little displeased, they came over to 'greet' us. Even if we are dissatisfied with them, we have no reason to kill them. You are truly unreasonable!”
“Ha!” Phoenix laughed frostily. “Unreasonable? What a bunch of troublemakers. Forget it. Since this is the case, let's stop wasting our breaths. From now on, we'll be on opposing ends. Let's go!”
Thereafter, Phoenix turned around and wanted to lead her subordinates away.
“Please hold on!” Suddenly, a mature and low voice called out to them.
