Arlo spoke and was about to attack Lachlan, signaling Theodore at the same time. He wanted Theodore to focus on "Callum" and not let this beautiful woman escape while he dealt with "Landon."
Theodore nodded, "Mr. Hernandez, rest assured!"
Arlo sneered at Lachlan, "I know you have tough skin and strong defenses, enduring a hit from the early Core Formation stage. However, resisting one hit doesn't mean you can withstand my ten or hundred strikes! If there's a way to heaven, you won't take it; if there's no way to hell, you'll break in! Do you still want to play the hero? Haha, being a hero comes with a price!"
"Die!"
With that, Arlo shook the spear in his hand, ready to strike Lachlan.
Lachlan snorted, facing Arlo's murderous intent. Despite the threat, a trace of indifference appeared in his starry eyes. "Who dies is still uncertain!"
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "Stop!"
Swish!
The next second, Lachlan felt a fragrant breeze, and before his eyes, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared.
"Phoebe?"
Arlo, seeing the captivating figure standing between him and Lachlan, showed surprise on his face.
"Miss Bishop?"
Theodore was also taken aback.
Savannah, equally astonished, looked at the powerful young mistress of the Hudpids Sect.
Lachlan frowned but stopped without revealing any emotion. He hadn't expected Phoebe to appear at this moment, and the situation seemed unusual. Was she trying to protect him?
"Enough! This conflict ends here," Phoebe said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Arlo's face flickered several times. "Phoebe, what are you doing? Why are you helping him? Don't forget, this guy disrespected you before. I was planning to kill him to vent your frustrations!"
Phoebe's expression darkened, and she cast a disdainful look at Arlo. As a woman, she had overheard everything Arlo and Theodore had planned to do to Savannah.
"We're not that close. Call me by my full name or Miss Bishop. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. Also, your personal grievances are your own problem. I won't take on this favor."
Phoebe's words were icy.
Originally, the Hernandez family was an affiliated force of the Hudpids Sect, and Arlo had been pursuing her. At least, he had acted like a lapdog, calling her "Phoebe," and she hadn't bothered to correct him. However, witnessing his recent actions had only intensified her disgust.
Arlo's expression froze, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
Nonetheless, he still glared at Lachlan, unwilling to accept it, and asked Phoebe, "Well... Miss Bishop, why? Why are you helping this guy? Last time, you stopped our duel. He doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness. Have you forgotten? This guy must have offended you."
Phoebe, with a cold glance at Lachlan, maintained her calm and said, "Exactly because he doesn't appreciate it and has offended me, you can't kill him now."
Then, her tone became firm, and she addressed Lachlan unequivocally, "From now on, you and your fellow disciple will follow me!"
