Chapter 317 - Threat

Chapter 317: Threat

With a flip, the Fire Phoenix dodged it and immediately spat out another fireball at Audrey.

“Shattering technique!” Audrey’s pupils constricted as she calmly released a stream of battle Qi that directly shattered the fireball, causing the sparks to fall to the ground.

Seeing that it was useless, the Fire Phoenix seemed to exert even more strength as it spat out more fireballs. Then, finally, it swept toward Audrey, attempting to drown her in the yellow sand that filled the sky.

However, all Audrey did was build a barrier that repelled all the yellow sand. Unfortunately, the fireballs were also broken by her frost sword.

Feeling that it was about time, Audrey wanted to end this battle.

“Great Goddess of ice and snow, please grant me endless power, ice and fire!” Audrey chanted softly. The sky suddenly changed, like the poles of yin and yang. One side was ice, and the other was fire.

What fell from the sky were also frost sharp blades and fire beads. The Fire Phoenix had nowhere to hide and let out a wailing sound.

Audrey knew that she was about to surrender.

Therefore, she put away her magic and stood in front of the Fire Phoenix arrogantly. She said, “Your strength is extreme. Train well.”

During these days, Audrey also received a lot of benefits through her training. Now that she was about to break through her Dou Qi and magic, she was about to break through to level-20. In addition, her strength had also significantly increased compared to when she was in the devil training.

That was why the Fire Phoenix had admitted defeat so quickly. She had also felt a significant threat.

“Audrey, you’re too amazing. The Fire Phoenix admitted defeat so quickly.” Klein walked over happily, his words filled with admiration and praise.

To Audrey, these were not important. What was important was that the seal that had just appeared signified that their training had ended.

Perhaps it was because they had challenged the most challenging training in the ancient castle. Although the training in the desert was different from the others, it ended a little too quickly. The few of them were still a little unsatisfied, so they returned to the Knights Legion resentfully.

“The training this time was smooth. I hope we can challenge something more difficult next time.” Adrian shook his head in disappointment as he said this.

“Next time.” Audrey chuckled. She wanted to say something else, but a maid who had hurried over interrupted her.

“Miss Audrey, someone is looking for you at the gate of the Templar Knights.”

Who? Audrey was stunned. Could it be Morris? However, he probably would not use such a method.

“I’ll be leaving first. See you tomorrow.” Audrey did not overthink it. She turned around and left. When she came to the door and saw Marcus’ figure, her heart stopped.

He came to look for her? That meant that he knew her true identity!

Audrey instantly became alert. Marcus was a person who was blinded by greed. This time, he came to find her. There was nothing good about it.

At this moment, Marcus also noticed Audrey’s approach. The corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile. Then, using that unpleasant face, he said, “I wonder if I should address you as Miss Audrey or Miss Catherine?”

“Hmph, as you wish, President.” Audrey snorted coldly.

“Then, Miss Audrey it is.” Marcus smiled, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes. He said, “Miss Audrey, you’ve tricked us so hard. You’re the daughter of a noble of the Davis family, yet you want to play the role of a commoner’s daughter.”

“This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. No matter how you find out, you shouldn’t interfere.” Audrey’s eyes were cold. She knew Marcus’ character, so she did not stand on ceremony.

Marcus sneered and took out the crystal that recorded the effects. “Then, Miss Audrey, why don’t you take a look at this?”

Hearing this, Audrey frowned slightly and looked up. It was a crystal that was crystal clear. Inside it was an image of her at the auction house. This kind of crystal could record images in real-time, but because it was expensive, very few people used it.

“You secretly took a video of me?” Audrey laughed sarcastically. “I didn’t expect that the President of an auction house would do such a thing behind my back. It’s really impressive!”

Marcus did not seem to care about Audrey’s evaluation of him. He only said in a threatening tone, “If these images are leaked, I’ll tell everyone that you were the one who refined the potion. What do you think will happen?”

Although Marcus did not understand why Audrey had such strong alchemy skills but did not publicize it, he knew that since she had chosen to hide it, there must be a reason. Therefore, making it public had become her weakness.

Audrey did not want to publicize it, and she did not want to become the focus of everyone’s attention. It was a hazardous thing to have a high reputation, but her strength did not match up.

Audrey did not want to put herself in danger, and she did not want to implicate her friends and family.

“Are you threatening me?”

“No, I’m helping you. If everyone knows that you have such strong alchemy abilities and that Spark City has another strong alchemist, it would be a wonderful thing,” Marcus said shamelessly.

Audrey’s eyes turned colder, and the aura around her turned gloomy. She clenched her fists, faintly emitting some anger.

She really regretted not getting rid of Marcus earlier. But soon!

Audrey sneered in her heart. Since Marcus dared to do this, he had to be prepared to pay the price.

“Then I have to thank you. Tell me, what do you want to do?” Audrey asked coldly.

“It’s very simple. Work with me and provide me with five bottles of potion every month. We’ll split the price 50-50.”

As expected, he was blinded by greed!

Audrey glanced at Marcus with disdain. Did he want to use her as a tool to earn money? She would definitely not let that happen.

“President, you’re really thinking well. However, you’ve miscalculated. I won’t agree with your request. You can do whatever you want with the rest,” Audrey said coldly and turned to leave.
