Chapter 219 Celestia Vale
"Are you sure your words represent your intentions?" he boldly questioned. Upon hearing this, Clarence's demeanor suddenly became sharp and intense!
"Caspar, stop messing around!" Dorian sternly scolded. He knew things were going to go south, and Caspar's appearance was only making things worse!
He thought, 'Although the Ashford family does not fear the Harris family, rashly starting a war would only make the other two families laugh and easily gain benefits from the spoils of our feud. I would never allow such a thing to happen!'
"How am I messing around? Dorian, if you don't have the guts, then let me handle it! The Salvador family isn't afraid of the Harris family; we must seek justice for Kenny!" Caspar stated with determination.
Caspar, however, appeared indifferent, almost publicly declaring that the Salvador family would go to war with the Harris family!
"How exciting! Dorian, you're not as decisive as Caspar!" Ethan snidely remarked as he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Dorian's gaze instantly turned to Ethan as if he might strike at any moment.
Although Ethan's face remained unchanged, his heart tightened, feeling as if the air around him had solidified under Dorian's gaze!
"Stop!" Just as Dorian's killing intent surged, a voice suddenly echoed.
With this voice, the murderous aura emanating from Dorian instantly dissipated, easily neutralized!
"Phoenix!" Dorian exclaimed as he looked at Phoenix's timely appearance, his face showing no surprise, but his expression was not pleasant either!
He knew Phoenix would definitely be watching him! He thought, 'Why? Why does Phoenix keep protecting Ethan? What secret does he hold?'
"Phoenix, you finally showed up? You haven't fulfilled the promise you made to me yesterday. Are you planning to go back on your word?" Seeing Phoenix, Ethan immediately reminded him of the promise he had made the previous day.
Clarence and the others were speechless. No one expected Ethan to speak to Phoenix in such a tone, as if afraid he would break his promise!
"Mr. Wilson, if you just wanted me to show up, was this method really necessary?" Phoenix asked while he shook his head and smiled wryly, showing no displeasure at Ethan but rather more helplessness.
"If I didn't push you a bit, who knows when we'd meet next? There are some things I need to clarify sooner rather than later! Today, you must fulfill your promise to me before I let you go!" Ethan said, earnestly.
Clarence really wanted to ask Phoenix what he had promised Ethan, but it was clearly inappropriate to ask in front of the Ashford family. Hence, he had to set aside his curiosity temporarily.
"Fine, come with me," Phoenix suggested as he sighed helplessly, turned, and walked towards the stairs.
Ethan, ignoring the Ashford family's displeased expressions, followed nonchalantly. With Phoenix present, no one dared to stop him, not even Caspar!
Seeing Ethan leave, Sarah immediately wanted to follow, but Ethan stopped her with a glance.
Sarah pouted, reluctantly returned to Clarence's side, and could only curiously watch in the direction Ethan had left.
"You see, it's not that I don't want to act, but now is clearly not the right time!" Dorian scolded as he glared at Caspar angrily.
He thought, 'If it weren't for her impulsiveness, I wouldn't be in such an awkward position, unable to say anything in front of Phoenix!'
"I don't believe he can protect him forever!" Caspar said with a grim expression.
"Isn't it time you gave me an explanation?" Clarence reminded calmly.
"If you want an explanation, I'll give you one. Go back and wait; I'll give you a satisfactory answer today!" he answered, curtly. At this moment, Dorian had no intention of continuing to argue with Clarence.
He thought, 'Evidently, Ethan had just taken advantage of me to force Phoenix out, and I am unwittingly falling into his trap. If word got out, I would be a laughingstock to others!'
"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!" Hearing this, Clarence quickly replied and didn't waste any more words. Since Dorian had already promised, there would definitely be an explanation, there was no need to continue mingling with them.
When Clarence and Sarah were downstairs, they saw Ethan and Phoenix talking in the nearby parking lot. Out of curiosity, Sarah wanted to go over, but Clarence pulled her into the car, not allowing her to disturb them.
"Phoenix, since you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore. If you say it's fate, then it's fate. Thank you for helping me countless times! But what exactly is Celestia Vale? You promised me yesterday that you would tell me!" Ethan initially asked Phoenix the reason why he was helping him.
However, Phoenix only explained it as fate, which left Ethan dizzy, so he stopped asking.
However, he had to find out what Celestia Vale was. He thought that this so-called Celestia Vale was very important to him.
"It's not Celestia Vale as you know; it's a codename for an organization! I hold an honorary elder position in Celestia Vale, but I haven't fulfilled any elder duties over the years!" Phoenix explained with a smile.
"Celestia Vale is an organization?" Ethan asked and was even more surprised. He had always thought Celestia Vale was a place, but it turned out to be an organization!
"That's right, Celestia Vale is an organization. This organization has existed for many years! Celestia Vale rarely reveals itself, but anyone who reaches the master level automatically becomes a member of Celestia Vale and is bound by its rules. This is also why masters like Dorian can't directly attack you!" Phoenix seriously explained.
"Once one reaches the master level, they automatically join Celestia Vale! So, where exactly is Celestia Vale? Since it's an organization, it should have a headquarters," Ethan couldn't help but ask.
"You'll find out later; I can't tell you for now. Only when you reach the master level and become a member of Celestia Vale will you be qualified to know its location!" Phoenix, with a just demeanor, shook his head and refused him without hesitation.
"So mysterious? In that case, Dorian must know where Celestia Vale is?" Ethan muttered while he couldn't help but still feel frustrated. He was annoyed, and he really wanted to save time guessing. Unfortunately, Phoenix's firm attitude meant he probably wouldn't get any answers.
"Yes, Dorian definitely knows, but the location of Celestia Vale cannot be mentioned to anyone below the master level. Otherwise, severe punishment from Celestia Vale will follow, and any ordinary person who knows this secret will completely disappear from this world!" Phoenix said as if it were a matter of fact.
"That's too overbearing! What if a master accidentally slips up, like if Dorian suddenly tells an ordinary person about Celestia Vale? Wouldn't those ordinary people be in danger?" he commented with disbelief. Ethan was speechless. If that were the case, Celestia Vale would not only be overbearing but also terrifying!
"No master would dare to do that. If such a situation does occur, there are other ways to resolve it. Killing is always the last resort!" Phoenix explained as he shook his head and smiled wryly.
"But it's the most effective method!" Ethan added nonchalantly.
