Chapter 465 [Bonus chapter] The Good or Bad Way

The coincidence was too much. Myla traveled all the way to a distant fishermen\'s village on an island, and the place had few visitors during the entire year and two at the same time never happened before!

That was why all the villagers had questions, trying to figure out the identity of those two who arrived at their village, yet they asked no questions.

They were weak, and the weak had to endure the powerful. No one knew the identity of both Myla or the older man, but considering they arrived on the island by flying, they must be people to not be messed up with.

Myla was also on the same boat as the villagers, as her mind had many questions and fears about the upcoming older man.

For that reason, she stayed in the village for a few days without doing anything, just eating and sleeping. She wanted to see if the older man following her would do anything different, yet he did not.

Arthur stayed in the same room during the days and was not in a hurry to go to that Phoenix Trial, not that he knew its location.

Without any other options, Myla gathered enough courage to speak with him, as that was the only thing she left to do.

"Excuse me," she said, stopping before Arthur\'s table.

He was not surprised by her showing up there — that was only a matter of time — so Arthur looked up, staring at her, and said, "Yes?"

"Only yes? Weren\'t you following me since I left the city?" Myla said.

She sat on the empty chair, staring intensely into his eyes.

"I don\'t know what you are talking about. My parents were born in this village, so I come here occasionally."

"Bullshit. Spit it out! Or I will have to use my strength to get the answers I need, and hear me out when I say this; no one can win against me!"

She acted all brave and with evident pride. Arthur did not blame her. If one considered only the mages from that planet, she was one of the most powerful, yes.

But against Arthur? It was like a kid trying to fight an adult in a boxing match. She would fail, and just hearing her say that made Arthur chuckle.

"What is funny?" Myla said in an angry tone.

Seeing her acting like that before, a being that could destroy her existence without much trouble, was cute, but Arthur would not do that.

"First, don\'t try to fight against me, or you will lose. So, can we talk in a more private place?" Arthur said.

The severe tone he had sent a shiver down Myla\'s spine, and for some reason, even if his sentence sounded absurd, she believed in it.

"Where?"

"Why the hurry? I am eating here."

Myla rolled her eyes at that and wanted to punch Arthur. She was unsure if he had enough power to go up against her — only a few mages on that planet could do that — but she decided not to risk it, and seeing how Arthur only wanted to talk, doing that was not a problem for her.

She waited for him to eat, and after they were done with it, both left the village, walking up further into the island.

Arthur walked all the way like an average person, and that enraged Myla, who was not used to doing that, and it would only waste their time.

"This is enough, no? Why did we leave the village to speak?"

They had walked to the other edge of the island, the complete opposite of where the village was. Nothing around them reminded them of human civilization, only vegetation.

"I think it is. We don\'t want anyone hearing our conversation about the Phoenix Trial, right?" Arthur said with a terrific smile.

When Myla heard that, she froze. How did he know about the Phoenix Trial? That was a well-guarded secret almost no one knew about, and she only spoke about it inside magical formations to avoid anyone overhearing it.

That was another proof that the older man before her was not as simple as he looked.

"Phoenix Trial? I don\'t know what you are talking about," Myla said.

"Look, I am trying to help you with this. Do you want to leave this place with your life and try the Phoenix Trial again? That can happen, or I can just get the answers I need from your head, killing you in the process. Your whole idea of protecting the secret will only result in you dying."

Arthur was being honest with her. There was no way he would leave the place without knowing where the Phoenix Trial was, as he was, trying to learn more about his Phoenix Bloodline. That was a place he had to go, no matter the cost.

Myla stared at him and said nothing, trying to see if he was joking, yet Arthur\'s expression remained the same.

She quickly placed both palms together, casting a quick fire-type magic. Fire came from the ground around Arthur, going all the way up, turning into a cage of fire, locking him in place.

"I am a rank three mage, and this is a rank two spell. You cannot escape from this," Myla said proudly.

Myla was one of the few rank-three mages on that planet, and that was the highest level they had reached. Arthur admired her because that was not an easy rank to achieve. But the difference between her power to his was still worlds apart.

Arthur touched the fire with his hand, and nothing happened. His body power and resistance to the fire were so great that a weak spell could not hurt him.

He walked forward, passing through the wall of flames, leaving the cage without much effort.

"I will say once again. We can do this in a good way or the bad way. How do you want it to be?" Arthur said.

Myla lost all hope after that.
