Chapter 219: Chapter 219

“Which part?”

“Huh?” Xanthea looked confused. “What do you mean “which part’?”

“The part you’re struggling with?”

“It’s the scene between Phoenix and Maximus.”

Orion said, “Give me the script.”

“What do you need the script for?”

Although Xanthea didn’t understand, she still pulled out her phone and handed him the script, “Here, this romantic scene.”

As an urban drama, “Realm of Illusions” primarily centers on the female lead, revolving around Phoenix’s business adventures and family vengeance, with only a hint of romance. Even her relationship with the male lead, Prescott, felt more like a brotherly affection than a romantic one, starting with friendship and evolving into respect.

The most intense, emotionally charged romantic scenes in the entire story were during the period when she was trapped in a basement by the supporting male character, Maximus.

Originally from an affluent family in Skyville, Phoenix was the legitimate heiress. But tragedy struck at the age of three when her family was massacred. Kidnapped by the enemy, she was sent to the Ignite Camp and molded into a deadly assassin.

From her earliest memories, her world was filled with harsh training, dangerous missions, cold commands, and the lives she took, along with Maximus.

She knew nothing about Maximus’ background or his real name; all she knew was that like her, he had been taken to Ignite Camp at a young age and trained to become a lethal weapon.

The camp leader chose them, the two finest assassins, pairing them as partners and naming them Phoenix and Maximus after the mythical birds fated to unite. Over decades of bloodshed and darkness at Ignite Camp, Phoenix and Maximus became each other’s only shield and slowly developed feelings for one another.

But before they could address their feelings, Phoenix learned that the camp leader was the very man who had murdered her family. Out of anger, she escaped from the Ignite Camp and began to contact trusted allies of her family, continuously honing her abilities, with the sole purpose of one day being able to kill the head of the camp and avenge her family.

During one attempt to assassinate the camp leader, she walked right into a trap set by Maximus and was captured, then locked in a secret room.

By that time, Maximus had become Ignite Camp’s sharpest blade and the likely successor as camp leader. Their roles had shifted from closest partners to mortal enemies.

The scene Xanthea kept failing in was the long-awaited reunion between Phoenix and Maximus in the secret room after five years.

Orion quickly scanned the script and put the phone down, “Don’t let Benjamin come over anymore; I’ll help you practice.”

“Uh?” Xanthea blinked in surprise. “You’ll help me practice?”

“What, you think I’m not as good as Benjamin?”

Orion’s gaze tightened. Xanthea quickly shook her head, “Of course not, you’re exceptional, surpassing him in every way, but everyone excels in different areas. When it comes to acting, he’s better, right?”

Her words “he’s better” felt like needles to Orion, his expression turning icy.

Xanthea could clearly see that he was angry. She was about to speak in attempt to appease him, but before she could, she found herself swept off her feet and carried her toward the bedroom.

“Ah!”

“Orion, what are you doing?!”

“Why not give it a try? How will you know if I’m not good?”
