Chapter 328 Phoenix's Stance
On that fateful night thirty years ago, Gino managed to escape from the Salvador family by injuring the guard who came to deliver food to the secret room.
Having witnessed his mom die at the hands of Rex, Gino wished he could kill him right then and there.
He knew that to avenge his mom, he had first to escape the Salvador family, gain strength, and then come back for revenge!
Only ten-year-old Gino, relying on his familiarity with the Salvador family, climbed over the courtyard wall and ran wildly through the wilderness. However, he underestimated the Salvador family and Rex!
Rex even sent experts to hunt him down! Gino was at the end of his rope, surrounded by the experts sent to capture him.
He knew very well that if he was caught again, he might never get out, and there would be no hope for revenge!
What he didn't expect was that the people who came were not there to capture him but to kill him on the spot!
Rex actually ordered his men to kill his son!
With a heart full of unwilling anger, Gino was almost in despair.
Just as the assassin's sword was about to pierce the chest of the despondent Gino, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and the sword was instantly broken into two pieces!
Accompanied by screams, all the assassins who came to kill Gino were lying on the ground, none of them able to get up again!
Before Gino could understand what was happening, he felt as if he was flying, and then he lost consciousness!
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed, and the first person he saw was Francis!
This was the entire process and memory of Gino escaping from the Salvador family and becoming Francis's disciple!
At least he believed that the person who saved him from the assassin's sword was Francis!
However, he was wrong. In the letter personally written by Francis, it said that the person who saved him that night was Phoenix, who handed him over to Francis while he was still unconscious!
"Why is it like this?" After a long time, Gino finally reacted from extreme shock, softly asking himself.
"It was all just a coincidence. When I saved you in the snow, I felt a connection with you, so I decided to take you as my disciple," Phoenix explained with a smile.
"Then why did you hand me over to Francis?" Gino asked, staring at Phoenix with a complex look.
"Because I had a mission at the time and needed to go to a very dangerous place, I could only temporarily entrust you to Francis. But I didn't expect that this would take ten years, and when I came back, you had already become his disciple, and for some reason, I had to stand against Francis!" Phoenix shook his head helplessly.
"What happened twenty years ago? You and Francis were originally friends. Why have things come to this?" Gino took a deep breath and slowly asked.
"I know you have many questions, but it concerns Celestia Vale, and now is not the time to tell you. When you officially enter Celestia Vale, I can tell you everything!" Phoenix slowly shook his head and said.
Gino suddenly fell silent. It was Phoenix who saved him!
Moreover, Francis made it very clear that he should follow Phoenix's arrangements and then enter Celestia Vale to help Ethan revive the ZF Guild in the future!
In other words, from now on, he had two masters. Even if he couldn't accept this for a while, he had to grit his teeth and agree!
"Tomorrow, I will set off for Celestia Vale. You have one day to take care of matters and then leave with me early in the morning!" Phoenix saw Gino's conflicted state and decided to give him some time to calm down.
"Wait, where are you going?" Gino suddenly asked.
"I'm visiting an old friend. I'll come to find you tomorrow!" As soon as he finished speaking, Phoenix turned away.
Gino didn't expect to enter Celestia Vale or to suddenly have Phoenix as his master, but Francis told him all of this, so he had to believe it!
In his shock, Gino also vaguely felt that the relationship between Phoenix and Francis was far from simple!
One of the reasons Francis arranged for him to enter Celestia Vale was to help Ethan!
Phoenix was aware of Francis's intentions.
In other words, in Celestia Vale, the person who could help Ethan the most might not be him but Phoenix!
In fact, to enter Celestia Vale, he had to rely on Phoenix, whose help to Ethan began the moment he stepped into the capital; he was Francis's greatest assistant in Celestia Vale!
After thinking for a long time, Gino finally understood the relationships between the people involved.
Once he figured it out, Gino found it easier to accept the result!
At least he knew that Francis and Phoenix wouldn't really become enemies, and they might even join forces, which meant his biggest psychological barrier was actually removed!
"Boss, that woman wants to see you!" At this moment, one of his men came in to report.
Gino was taken aback, naturally knowing that the woman was Caspar!
Looking at the time, it was already past two in the morning, and she still hadn't left!
"Let her come up!" Gino pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Soon, Caspar appeared in Gino's office again.
"Gino, are you really Phoenix's disciple?" Caspar asked.
"So what if I am? Are you disappointed?" Gino responded noncommittally.
"No, of course not! Since you are Phoenix's disciple, you are now part of Celestia Vale. Dad said that if you could become an official disciple of Celestia Vale, you would be allowed to return to the Salvador family!" Caspar reminded excitedly.
