Chapter 3644 Being Annoying
We shall be a match made in heaven, envied by everyone. At the same time, Phoenix and the like were asking around in confusion. According to their informant, Sonja and the others were seen heading to the base.
However, they were tracking Sonja and the others down when the latter suddenly disappeared without a trail. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Phoenix and the rest immediately started a search all over the mountains.
“Floyd suddenly took charge of the perimeter defense of the base. Do you think he knows something about Sonja and the others’ disappearance?” Azure Dragon asked with a frown.
Sonja and her companions would be able to reveal the identity of the mysterious leader of the Glorian Order.
However, the important clue disappeared right outside the base. It was natural for Phoenix and the others to feel exasperated.
“Oh, speak of the devil. Let’s ask him about it,” Phoenix said and pointed at Floyd, who was whistling as he walked back to the base.
“Floyd, I’m glad to see you here. Our informant told us that Sonja and the other two were heading back to the base. You’re in charge of the perimeter defense tonight. Did you discover anything strange?” Phoenix went straight to the topic.
The rest observed Floyd carefully as they waited for his answer.
It was customary to change the person in charge urgently, but Floyd disappeared after being assigned the job.
That was not normal at all. As the person in charge of the perimeter defense, how could he desert his post?
Why did he even ask to be in charge of the post?
“N-No.” Floyd quickly gave his answer after his initial shock.
Actually, Floyd felt slightly guilty. Gloria might’ve explained everything to him, but the matter had yet to be clarified.
If he revealed the truth, Phoenix and the others would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Levi might even believe them if they used it as evidence to report him.
“Really?” Azure Dragon probed. He had noticed the glint of panic in Floyd’s eyes.
Floyd forced himself to calm down and met Azure Dragon’s gaze. “I left to search for Sonja and the rest. However, I didn’t find any traces of them even after a thorough search. Could your subordinate be wrong?”
He was adamant, so Phoenix and the rest were helpless.
“Now that you’re back, you can be in charge of the perimeter defense. I’m tired after working hard the entire night,” Floyd told them and turned to leave.
Right then, Phoenix’s communication device rang.
His informant informed him of the latest update—Sonja and the other two had been captured by the Glorian Order.
After receiving the news, Phoenix and the rest immediately suspected Floyd.
The panic that flashed across Floyd’s eyes earlier didn’t escape their notice.
Without hesitation, Phoenix blocked Floyd’s path and questioned harshly, “Floyd, be honest with us. Did you see Sonja and her companions? We just received news that they had been captured by the Glorian Order again.”
Deep down, Floyd was flustered.
Nevertheless, he insisted, “Stop being annoying! I didn’t see Sonja!”
Phoenix sighed inwardly. She couldn’t do anything as Floyd was being obstinate.
After they left, Floyd was filled with confusion.
He immediately contacted Gloria and asked her about it.
This time, Gloria responded pretty quickly.
“Floyd, I don’t know anything. After I explained things to them, I released them. If you don’t trust me, you can ask the disciples from West Pavilion. They saw me releasing Sonja and the rest,” she revealed in an innocent but aggrieved voice.
Hearing that, Floyd felt his heart ache for her. As he comforted her, the suspicion in his heart faded away.
If this has nothing to do with Gloria, why did Phoenix and the others keep accusing her?
Floyd was rather annoyed by how Phoenix and the others doubted and suspected Gloria.
How could they question me earlier? It’s obvious they suspect me!
