Chapter 434 Beyond Expectation (1/2)

”You're too kind, Riley, but I won't refuse your kindness. Thank you,” said Zachary. He nodded at Riley with a grateful smile.

”You're welcome,” answered Riley. She was quiet for a while, but sudden light flashed across her eyes, and she asked, ”By the way, do you know anything about the Phoenix Pavilion?”

”I haven't heard of it. Is it a sect or something like that?” Zachary shook his head and frowned, but Riley looked bewildered at his answer.

”It is the third largest force in the Devil Kingdom, only after the Xuanyuan Clan and the Xiao Clan. I can't believe that you haven't heard of it,” she explained and rolled her eyes at Zachary's confused look.

”Have you forgotten that I'm a newcomer here?!” Zachary burst out in embarrassed laughter.

”The Phoenix Pavilion is a sect famous for training female warriors. They are considered influential in the Devil Kingdom with thousands of female disciples. They are also involved in business operations all over the Devil Kingdom, and they have countless properties under their name. Phoenix House is one of them.”

”So, you mean that you're also a member of Phoenix Pavilion?” Zachary's eyes immediately brightened in understanding, and Riley smiled at him, impressed.

”That's right.” She nodded her head, but Zachary could tell that she still had more to say.

”Why, exactly, are you telling me this?” Zachary probed when she didn't volunteer any information, and she smiled at him pleasantly at this.

”Oh, you are truly intelligent. I told the leader of the Phoenix Pavilion everything about you, and she is also very interested in you, so she wants to meet you,” Riley finally answered frankly, and Zachary's eyes widened in surprise.

”The leader of the Phoenix Pavilion wants to meet with me in person? Don't you think too highly of me? I'm a nobody.” Zachary shook his head in disbelief because he couldn't see the reason why the leader would want to meet with him.

”Our leader has a great appreciation for talented people, especially those who are low-key yet very capable like you.”
