He was worried that Zeke would miss the time to enter Centuria's district because of him, so he hurriedly came
over to look for the latter.
Gazing at Apollyon and his wife, Floretta, Zeke said, “Apollyon, are you two sure you want to follow me into
Centuria's district? If you stay here, you'll be able to live a regular and peaceful life. However, once you enter
Centuria's district, you'll always face perilous battles like this. If one of you dies, you won't be able to see one
another again.”
Apollyon replied firmly, “Mr. Williams, you saved my life, so I wouldn't mind risking my life for you. Besides, people
should always strive for greatness. I can't allow my woman to suffer alongside me in this shabby place.”
Zeke glanced at Floretta. “What about you?”
Her eyes shone with determination like his husband's. “I'm staying by Apollyon's side for the rest of my life, and I'll
follow him wherever he goes.”
Zeke nodded. A pang of emotion surged within him because the couple's unwavering love for each other made him
miss Lacey suddenly.
Lacey had told him the same thing in the past, but now, he didn't even know where she was or how to rescue her.

Zeke got up and said, “Let's go. We're entering Centuria's district!”
“Let's go!”
The party marched toward Centuria's district under Zeke's lead.
Soon, they arrived at the border.
Just when they were about to step into Centuria's district, Zeke stretched out his hand to halt the party. “Stop.
Everybody stop!”
His subordinates immediately ceased their forward motion and waited for his instruction.
Zeke uttered, “We'll be entering Centuria's district after this. Since we've eliminated a Centurion, the other
Centurions might treat us as their enemy, so there may be other Centuria waiting to ambush us on the way to our
destination. Everyone needs to stay extra vigilant, and whoever senses something is off must notify me at once.”
“Understood!”
“Got it!”
The party waited for Zeke to finish giving the orders before they continued to advance.
Zeke took the lead as usual while the other nine Decani positioned themselves on the left and right flanks as they
guarded the wings.
Johan had already given the map to the location of Calix's base to Zeke, so Zeke guided his men as they rushed in
the base's direction.
Fortunately, they weren't ambushed by other Centurias en route to the base or stumbled into any trouble. Their
journey was too smooth to the extent of being a little unusual.
Calix's base had already been emptied, leaving only a vacated building behind.
Even so, that place was much more luxurious than Apollyon's.
Zeke ordered his ten Decani, “All of you can direct the troops to settle in. I'll scout around the area.”
“Yes, Mr. Williams!”
Zeke was worried that other Centurias might set up traps nearby the base, so he decided to look around to be safe.
Subsequently, everyone began working on their tasks in high spirits.
Suddenly, the four people assigned to guard the doors shouted, “Be careful! Someone is coming. Stay alert,
everyone!”
Everyone fathomed outsiders who would visit the base at that time were most likely unfriendly, so they had their
guards up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe ten Decani took the lead as they stared warily ahead at the incoming party.
The approaching group was none other than the four bodyguards from Phoenixion, tasked to send Phoenixion's
regards to Zeke's troops.
Apollyon bellowed, “Stop right there! Don't blame us for being unmerciful if you take another step forward.”
The four guardians were momentarily dazed before they became infuriated. D*mn you! We are here to send our
regards, yet this is how you welcome us? Putting aside our prominent status on Theos Island, you all should've
treated us with more respect simply because we arrived here earlier than you did, as we're considered your
seniors.
Just as the four bodyguards were about to unleash their rage, they recalled Phoenix's reminder. Ultimately, they
had no choice but to suppress their anger and come to a halt.
The leader of the bodyguards, Declan, uttered coldly, “I suppose you're all the newcomers?”
Apollyon replied, “That's right.”
“Tell your boss to come out and meet with me. I have something to discuss with him.”
“Who are you? Why do you want to meet with our boss?”
“We are from Phoenixion, Ms. Phoenix's four bodyguards. Please inform your boss to show himself at once because
I need to talk to him.”
