Living in the palace in the last few years, she learned how to play her cards. When hearing that Samuel
was going to look for Nicole, Phoenix wanted him to stay. However, she forgot that Samuel was not an
ordinary man. He knew what she wanted to do.
She was being stupid.
Then, she glared at Rey and said in a stern voice, "Rey, shut up. Mr. Green didn't do anything to me. I
haven't slept well these days, and I lost my balance because I was excited and nervous. My ankle was
twisted, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Green."
After saying that, Phoenix looked up at Samuel.
Samuel looked at her with cold eyes and whispered, "Where is the patrol? It'll be good if you can help
me. But if you can't, don't stop me. And you know that you are not able to stop me."
Then, Samuel left.
Phoenix paused for a moment before a trace of bitterness and jealousy flashed through her eyes.
'What was so good about Nicole?'
'Was she worth Samuel's saving her without caring about his own safety?'
"Where did she go?"
Phoenix asked in a low voice.
Helen said, "We didn't see her. I've sent Dillan to look for her."
Phoenix was a little worried and disappointed.
'Nicole seemed smart. Did she think that I was not trustworthy?'
'Did she know something?'
Phoenix felt a little uneasy. Then, she got up and whispered, "I'll go after Mr. Green. You guys keep
looking for Nicole and try to find her before we do. Then...."
"Understood."
Helen nodded.
Phoenix caught up with Samuel.
"Mr. Green, if you want to save her, come with me. I know a path to the patrol's headquarters, but I
don't know if she's there."
Samuel was burning with anxiety now. He didn't pay attention, and he said in a cold voice, "If you were
nice to her from the beginning, she would be fine now."
Phoenix felt a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Green, what do you mean? Although I don't like her, I have never thought of harming her."
"But you haven't thought about saving her, either, have you?"
All of a sudden, Samuel stopped and looked at Phoenix, feeling extremely sad.
"Phoenix, I know that you are obsessed with me, and I admit that I owe you something. But Nicole
doesn't owe you anything. I thought that you wouldn't hurt her as you did so many things for me and
you did them very well. Now I seem wrong. I shouldn't have trusted you with her life or left her."
Samuel said slowly. No one knew how he was feeling right now, but his words shocked Phoenix.
He was blaming her!
He even said that it was she who did this to Nicole!
Indeed, she had done it, but when had she become so despicable in Samuel's heart?
"Mr. Green, am I so horrible in your heart?"
"What's the point now? Nicole is missing. This is the most important thing!"
Samuel couldn't stop blaming himself.
He knew how obsessed Phoenix was with him, but he felt that Phoenix was the same person as
before. Now he thought that he was stupid.
If anything happened to Nicole, he would never forgive himself.
Then, Samuel turned around and left.
"Mr. Green!"
"You stay. Since you don't really want to help me and Nicole, everything about me will have nothing to
do with you, including my life."
Samuel's words brought tears to Phoenix's eyes. This time, she really wanted to cry.
"Mr. Green, how can you say that? I'm your Phoenix. I'm Sky Group's person. How can I not care about
your life? Do you want me to be kicked out of Sky Group?"
"Without Sky Group, you still have Country F."
Samuel's words sent a thrill down Phoenix's spine.
'Samuel didn't want me anymore?'
'Because I didn't bring Nicole back?'
'We'd gone through so many things together these years. Was it unable to compare with that woman?
What did she do for you?'
Phoenix felt jealous.
"No! I only want Sky Group and you. You can't abandon me! I don't care. You can't leave me! You said
you would take care of me for the rest of your life. Even if you can't be my husband, you will take care
of me like a brother. You said that! You can't go back on your word!"
Then, Phoenix hugged Samuel tightly.
She was afraid.
Afraid that Samuel would abandon her, afraid that Samuel would leave her and expel her from Sky
Group, and afraid that Samuel would never talk to her.
However, Samuel pried Phoenix fingers one by one and said in a cold voice, "You can hurt me or kill
me, but you shouldn't harm her. Nicole is my soft spot. No matter who harms her, I will not let the
person get away with it. Phoenix, I hope you haven't done anything to her, otherwise...."
Samuel didn't finish the sentence, but it was more terrifying than finishing it.
Phoenix did not want to accept it. Even though she had used all her strength, she was still shaken off
by Samuel.
Samuel ran away.
"Mr. Green!"
Phoenix wanted to follow him, but she lost him.
She was terrified.
"Quick! Rey, tell everyone to keep an eye on Mr. Green and protect him secretly. And notify Helen to
tell Dillan to give up the killing plan and search for Nicole. I want her to appear in front of me safe and
sound."
Hearing Phoenix said, Rey paused.
"Master Phoenix, why are you...?"
"I hate her. I wish I could kill her. But you also heard Mr. Green say that he wouldn't forgive me if
anything happened to her. Apart from the Sky Group, I won't go anywhere. That's my home. There are
my friends who are like my family. And there is Mr. Green. If I leave Sky Group, what am I? Who am I?
Nicole deserves to die, but she can't die now. Find her first. I have plenty of ways to secretly kill her in
the future."
There were madness and jealousy in Phoenix's eyes.
'Why?'
'Why was Samuel so nice to that woman who slept with him?'
'He even scolded me for that woman!'
'Besides giving birth to two children, what else did that woman do for him? What could she give him?'
Phoenix was emotional, but she still compromised because Samuel was in danger now.
After Samuel ran out of Phoenix's palace, he returned to the Mysterious Entrance according to his
memories. But Nicole and Yanice were not there.
He turned on the tracer on his wrist, but there was nothing on it, which meant that the switch on
Nicole's bracelet was turned off.
'Who turned it off?'
'Nicole? Or someone else?'
Samuel did not know, so he felt more anxious.
Then, Zayn called.
"Zayn, is Nicole with you?"
Samuel answered the phone right away, and the first thing he asked about was Nicole's whereabouts.
Zayn's voice was a little cold.
"Samuel, do you think you are awesome? You dare to bring Nicole here? It's fine that you bring her, but
you left her at the Mysterious Entrance? Do you know what would happen if the patrol finds her? If you
can't keep her safe, don't get her involved in the political struggle. Or are you disgusted with her and
planning to use the political struggle here to get rid of her so that you can marry someone else?"
"No. It's my fault for leaving Nicole alone. Zayn, you can blame me. Now please tell me where Nicole
is."
Samuel was humble.
However, Zayn snorted and said, "I don't know. Find her yourself."
After saying that, Zayn hung up the phone.
He had a grudge against Samuel.
Although Nicole was clever and knew how to fight, she was only an innocent girl compared with the
sophisticated people living in this complicated place.
It was dangerous for Nicole that Samuel brought her here, and now Samuel left her alone. If he was in
front of Samuel, he would punch Samuel. Therefore, he didn't want to tell Samuel where Nicole was
yet.
There were busy tones, so Samuel knew that Zayn had hung up. But Zayn was the only clue through
which Samuel could find Nicole.
Nicole didn't know anyone but Zayn here, and only Zayn could save Nicole.
Because of knowing that Nicole and Zayn were together, Samuel heaved a sigh of relief while worrying
about how Nicole was feeling.
'She must be scared.'
'Zayn was right. I shouldn't have left Nicole alone. The hell Mysterious Entrance. The hell men and
women couldn't get in together. Since when had I begun to follow the rules?'
But it was too late.
Samuel did not know where Zayn's palace was or whom to ask right now. He could ask Phoenix, but
from the moment Nicole was missing, he didn't trust Phoenix anymore.
They used to be friends who watched each other's backs on the battlefield, and now he was unable to
trust her. Samuel felt awful. But for Nicole's safety, he suppressed the feeling.
Meanwhile, there were sounds of footsteps getting closer.
Samuel quickly hid himself away.
There was only a trash can which was suitable for hiding, but Samuel hated it. Therefore, he could only
climb onto a beam and hid there.
The people who came over gathered together.
"Have you found anyone?"
"Not yet. That bastard Daniella made a fool of us and then actually went back."
These people were sent by Major to follow Zayn.
Meanwhile, Major drove over from the other direction.
"Mr. Major."
They were respectful to Major.
Major looked ruthless.
"Did you lose him?"
"Sorry, Mr. Major. We...."
Before they could finish speaking, Major put the dagger into their chests in a quick and accurate
manner. And he looked surprisingly calm.
"Useless!"
Then, he pulled out the dagger, and warm blood squirted. But he ignored it.
Major's cold and fierce eyes were like those of a venomous snake. He stared in one direction and said
word by word, "Zayn, sooner or later, I will cut you into pieces!"
