CHAPTER 917 INTOLERABLE
It is imperative that she quits Phantom. So what about you?
Such a profound statement by Leo instantly made the atmosphere around the room become delicate.
Arthur narrowed his eyes deeply and swept over a hint of danger: "What?"
At those words, Leo withdrew his gaze, and as he asked the question, he knew that his inner
subconscious didn't want to quit Phantom.
However, Leo made it a little clearer.
"Exit Phantom."
He said in a flat tone, "You and Violet are both in charge of the Pompeii market, and now that Violet has
fallen out of favour, do you think anything good will come of you?"
"......"
At these words, Arthur's face still changed slightly, but he still said, "Even if I lost favor, I can't be
blamed for it, why should I quit Phantom? Do you want me to quit Phantom and then be hunted down
by the organization so that you can get me killed?"
Arthur looked at Leo with hostility.
Any member who joins Phantom is not allowed to quit the organisation without permission; to quit the
organisation would mean betrayal, and that would lead to endless hunting by the organisation, and it is
impossible for Leo to be unaware of this rule.
Nadine, for example, chose to follow Leo when she was the world's number one assassin, thus
betraying the organisation, and to this day, Phantom has never given up on hunting Nadine.
This did not stop until Nadine returned to the organisation again.
The higher the rank of the member, the heavier the penalty for betraying the organisation.
"Get you killed?"
In response to Arthur's questioning, Leo laughed disdainfully, smiling with some contempt, "For you, do
I need someone to get you killed? If I really want to kill you, can you walk out of this hospital?"
Arthur once again fell into silence. Yes, if Leo really wanted to kill him, he had no resistance at all, the
gap between him and Leo was too big.
"In my opinion, on the contrary, your sin is a little more serious than Violet's."
He pointed at Arthur and said indifferently, "Violet is at most guilty of misconduct in command, but you
are the real culprit for screwing things up!"
"......"
At these words, Arthur was startled and his face changed greatly, "What do you mean?"
"Remember what you and Violet had just come to Pompeii for? To kill me."
Leo faintly mocked: "For this reason, you went to the extent of hijacking the entire Northern Conference
and planting heaps of explosives just to force me to show up, and what happened was that you failed;
the second time, you wanted to seize power over Wyverns and support your rise to the top. Without the
sharp knife of Wyverns, Pompeii was a paper tiger, not enough to worry about, but you still failed, you
lost to your arrogance, lost to your hatred, you wanted to return to Wyverns too much, and this is what
led to your failure."
"......"
Leo spoke, unaware that Arthur's face had changed deeply, with a touch of invisible shame and anger
in his eyes.
Leo was right, he had been in Pompeii for a long time, yet, it seemed that not a single thing had been
accomplished.
In each case, the work was lost, just a breath away.
Leo, however, did not care and continued, "The most recent one is the matter of Ivy, weren't you also
the main actor? Can you say that you had nothing to do with this loss?"
"......"
Arthur's face changed, with a look of anger on his face, but, apart from anger, there was also more than
a hint of panic.
With so many of his faults listed by Leo, even Leo knew about them, and the organisation must have
known even better.
Although Violet is the leader and by definition the most responsible, it is really just a blame taker, and
for him, who is more responsible, he will certainly not be spared.
"Now do you know why I'm asking you this question?"
Leo looked at him with flat eyes and said, "You are in a worse position than Violet."
"......"
Arthur clenched his teeth, his face shifting in a gloomy and uncertain manner, pondering for a long
time, he still shook his head, "I am not quitting the organization."
"Is that so?"
Leo seemed not at all surprised by this answer, smiled and said, "Your heart still holds a glimmer of
expectation that you will be spared."
Arthur looked at Leo with an incredulous face, how could he know what was going through his mind?
"Fine, according to what you had in mind, the organisation spared your life. But will they reuse you
again?"
Leo smiled lightly and said, "Although they will not kill you, they will dismiss you, someone will appear
to replace you. You have been at the top before after all, you know quite a few secrets, and the number
of people who want to kill you was quite a lot. Don't ask me how I know so well, around me, there are
quite a few traitors of Phantom."
Arthur's eyes were dull, and for a moment, he could not say half a word.
After a pause, Leo continued, "And you have a father."
"Father?!"
At these words, Arthur's face changed dramatically and his eyes lost focus for a moment.
In his mind's eye, a pale old man with a hunched back came to mind.
A glimpse of the past appeared before his eyes like a walk in the park.
He joined Phantom, partly to take revenge, and partly, he wanted to make a good life for his old father?
Only sadly, when his bad news came, his old father thought he was dead until the last Wyverns
rebellion, when he was recognized.
"Think about it."
Leo gave him a deep look, patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
"I've got nowhere else to go!"
However, just as he took a step, he heard Arthur's yell from behind him.
A yell of anger, more than anything else, of helplessness, echoed throughout the hospital floors.
Leo stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.
"There is no longer a place in the world that can take me in."
Arthur said in a hoarse voice, his voice dripping with despair, "Wyverns doesn't want me, my father
disowned me, and now, even Phantom may strike at me, I have nowhere to go!"
"......"
Leo was silent for a while before finally speaking, "If it really comes to that, I think someone will accept
you."
Hearing this, Arthur froze and chased after him, "I have done much evil, who will accept me?" This content © 2024 .
However, instead of answering the question, Leo laughed meaningfully, "Yes, who could it be?"
With a wave of his hand, Leo disappeared from Arthur's eyes.
Arthur stared for a long time, and also seemed to understand what was going on; his whole body was
emptied of strength, and his body went limp, and he sat down softly with his back against the wall of
the building.
"Hahahahaha ......"
Throughout the building, the sound of Hunter laughing madly filled the air.
As he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
He was Hunter, but he also has his own name.
His name is Arthur Dixon.
Once, a glorious Wyverns defender.
Perhaps in this moment he took off the mask of Hunter and presented himself as Arthur.
It's ugly but true.
