Chapter 1205 Pleading Phantom
Damian continued to smile. His expression was obsequious and servile as he said,
"Phantom, forgive me for saying this. Whether Jewel can be punished as a deserter is
uncertain, but if Alex finds the two pavilion masters and tells them about your
assassination of Jewel, do you think they will protect you and confront Alex, or will they
hand you over to him for him to deal with as he pleases?"
Phantom was momentarily speechless. There was almost no need to think about this
question. They would naturally hand her over to Alex.
They had almost no rights in the Double Dragon Court.
No matter how hard they worked to climb up the ranks and offered their lives for the
organization, they were still insignificant and not worth mentioning in the eyes of those
higher-ups.
Damian looked at Phantom. He noticed the signs of relenting on her face and hastily
continued, "I believe the two pavilion masters will prioritize the overall situation. If they
can resolve the situation by dealing with you, they won't confront Alex. You only have two
options now. Either you assassinate Jewel again and make sure that your assassination

on what you did to Jewel, do you think Alex will let you off? He will only seek revenge with
double the intensity! Look, we're in the same boat. If it were only Jewel alone, it wouldn't
be much of a threat. But now that she has coincidentally ended up with Alex, things have
become very troublesome."
Phantom became furious as she reached out and grabbed Damian by the neck. A
bloodthirsty killing intent surged on her beautiful face.
"Don't lump me together with the likes of you! It was you who sold Jewel to the Double
Dragon Court. If Alex wants to settle accounts, he will come to you first. Aren't you a
cunning one, huh? Trying to drag me into your mess and settle things for you? Dream on!
If he wanted to find me, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"
Damian's face turned pale. He struggled to force out a sentence. "Phantom, please spare
me!"
Only when he was on the verge of suffocation did she release him.
He could breathe again. He gasped for air with his mouth wide open. His expression was
servile and submissive, but he cursed the woman to death deep down.
Indeed, great men's favors were uncertain.
This kind of drama where his life was on the line would play out again sooner or later.
After a while, he finally recovered from the fear of imminent death and continued, "Don't
you find it strange that they appeared in Mastar?"
Phantom glanced at him coldly. "What's so strange about it? You're here too, aren't you?"
He continued, "But you're also here. Is it just a coincidence? If Alex and Jewel wanted to
settle scores with me, they would have done so already. I've changed my address several
times, but you've only officially taken over Hill Club for a few months. How do you know
they're not here for you?!"
She replied, "Enough. I know what you're thinking. Stop trying to scare me with baseless
speculation."
"Come on, Phantom, you need to get someone to protect me. If I fall into Alex's hands, he
will torture me to death."
She looked at him with a sneer. "How is that my concern?"
Damian pleaded anxiously, "Phantom, you can't just stand by and watch. I've been serving
you for so many years and I've done all kinds of tasks for you. If Alex finds out your

Just then, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Phantom's eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
He hurriedly changed his tune. "I'm not threatening you. It's just that you don't know what
kind of methods Alex is capable of. I have always relied on you, so naturally, I wouldn't
easily betray you. However, I can't guarantee that I won't make compromises to save
myself when my life is at stake. Phantom, you understand it, don't you?"
Phantom impatiently waved him away. "All right. Scram. You can stay with me for these
few days!"
Damian repeatedly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Phantom! Thank you, Phantom!"
After that, he went straight to the casino.
Deep down, he felt pleased with himself, thinking that women were creatures without a
mind of their own.
Based on his many years of experience in this circle, there was no woman he couldn't
conquer. What was so great about Phantom? She was just like those other women who
could be easily deceived. He could achieve his goal with just a few words.
Getting others to do one's work was the mark of a truly skilled person.
