CHAPTER 222 THE UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER

"The Deputy Commander in Chief?" the team leader repeated. His expression dramatically changed as

he did not expect that Rocky would abruptly mention his senior leader, Deputy Commander in Chief,

who was a tough woman he didn't dare offend.

"And I forgot to tell you that I and your Deputy Commander in Chief are quite familiar with each other,"

Rocky bragged proudly. As the spirit manipulators from the Crimson Dragon Group were quite

unreasonable, Rocky had to use their senior leader to scare them off. He did not know if it was going to

work but he had to try. It was the only idea that dawned on him.

"Hey, brat, are you tired of staying alive or what? How can our Deputy Commander in Chief know you?

You are no better than a piece of garbage. You are cracking me up! Let's cut the crap and get down to

business. Catch him now!" the team leader ordered ferociously. He certainly wouldn't believe what

Rocky just said for all he believed was that Rocky was just bluffing him, trying to take advantage of his

leader's authority.

When Rocky realized the team leader wouldn't listen and let go of him, he was at a loss and his mind

was racing fast for ideas to get out of his trouble. But before he could come up with another idea, the

three spirit manipulators of the team quickly began to catch as ordered. Instinctively, Rocky took a few

steps back. Each of the three spirit manipulators' strength was comparable to his. In short, they could

catch him easily. So, the best and only way to get rid of his current dilemma was to run away as fast as

he could.

At that very moment, the sky above their heads was overshadowed abruptly. Everyone stopped. Rocky

looked up and saw three war dragons flying over the sky. The dragon in front had silver scales all over

its body, glistening under the shining of the sunlight. At first glance, it looked so mighty and

domineering. Meanwhile, they also saw a figure riding on the back of each war dragon.

"It's Silver Wind, the war dragon of Deputy Command in Chief," a spirit manipulator of the team blurted

out the moment he spotted the silver war dragon.

When Rocky heard that, he immediately stared at the silver war dragon. He had a careful observation

and soon saw a delicate figure was riding on the back of the silver war dragon. Realizing who it was, he

laughed and thought wildly, 'What? Speak of the devil and here she comes. What a coincidence!'

Soon, the silver war dragon flew down towards the area where Rocky and the other spirit manipulators

stood, while the other two war dragons flew towards the area where the extremely rare Heaven Divine

Lotus had just appeared.

After the silver war dragon landed on the ground, it immediately stirred up a gust of wind, spreading

dust, sand, and stone. Soon, a figure jumped from the back of the silver war dragon and landed lightly

on the ground. Her gracefulness attracted the attention of the spirit manipulators and their eyes

glistened.

Without any hesitation, they knelt on one knee immediately in front of the woman and chorused

respectfully, "Deputy Commander in Chief!"

She was Isis, the Deputy Commander in Chief of their Crimson Dragon Group who was considered to

be a mighty leader with absolute authority amongst her soldiers.

She threw a strange glance at Rocky because she was not expecting to see him there.

The riot caused by Rocky at the area where the Heaven Divine Lotus appeared had made the spirit

manipulators including those two groups of spirit manipulators from the Crimson Dragon Group suffer a

lot. Finally, the two groups of spirit manipulators had to send a message to their base camp to ask for

help.

Isis, who received their message, dispatched two squads of spirit manipulators plus one troop with 3,

000 soldiers to support them. She and two powerful royal spirit manipulators drove their respective

dragons and rushed to offer aid.

After passing the sky above this area where Rocky and the spirit manipulators were standing, Isis

immediately sensed the breath of the spirit manipulators from the Crimson Dragon Group. Thus, she

went down to see what happened. Unexpectedly, she saw Rocky surrounded by the spirit manipulators

from her camp.

Isis cast a glance at Rocky and then, turned to the captain of the team, asking sternly, "What is going

on here?"

"Deputy Commander in Chief, you've just arrived at the perfect time. We found the Rainbow Glow

Unicorn just now," the captain immediately told Isis with cupped hands, as if he were asking for a

reward.

"What? Is there really a Rainbow Glow Unicorn?" Isis asked, a little taken aback, but she quickly

regained her composure and calmly asked, "Where is this Rainbow Glow Unicorn now?"

"Deputy Commander in Chief, we could have captured the Rainbow Glow Unicorn alive, but this guy

ruined every effort we had made and made the Unicorn escape. He didn't admit what he had done.

Instead, he kept saying that you are familiar with each other. I believe he is just seeking for death by

inventing such stories..." the captain reported feverishly, adding twisted details to what really had

transpired. Then, he looked at Rocky with a sneer. He was certain that after he had reported such an

annoying incident to his senior leader, Rocky would then be in serious trouble.

After hearing the report, Isis turned to Rocky and asked, "Is what the captain said true? You told them

that we are familiar with each other?"

"What Rainbow Glow Unicorn? I know nothing about that! But I did say that we are familiar," Rocky

calmly replied.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, this man is guilty of a heinous crime by using your name illegally. He

should be severely punished!" the captain seemed to try his best to give Rocky a hard time.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, we are familiar with each other, right? Do you remember that last time,

we have been completely 'honest' with each other?" Rocky reminded Isis slowly as he threw a glance

at the captain. Actually, he also suggested implicitly that he had accidentally witnessed her being naked

before.

Immediately, Isis couldn't help but think of the embarrassing incident the other day—he happened to be

in her room when she was changing clothes. Suddenly, her cheeks were flushed, and she glared at

Rocky with a grudge. After a little hesitation, she bit her lips and said to the captain, "Yes, I do know

him."

The captain and other spirit manipulators exchanged looks with each other and were stupefied. They

had thought that Rocky was bluffing them; it never occurred to them that their authoritative leader

would have admitted in public that she knew Rocky.

"It turned out that you are a friend of our Deputy Commander in Chief. I give my apologies that I may

have offended you before. But please do forgive me. I didn't mean it!" the captain immediately

apologized with cupped hands. He was good at bending with the wind. To prevent Rocky from speaking

ill of him, he had to act quick and apologized first so that his senior leader wouldn't be irritated with him.

Rocky was stunned to hear those apologetic words from the captain. With nothing to say, he sneered

coldly at the captain, who looked a little bit embarrassed.

"Since the Rainbow Glow Unicorn has appeared, why are you still dilly-dallying here?" Isis immediately

questioned the captain.

The captain's face changed drastically. He hurriedly explained to his senior leader, "Deputy

Commander in Chief, please allow me to explain. It's not that we are dilly-dallying. It's because..." He

stopped abruptly, walked to Isis and whispered something in her ear.

Isis narrowed her eyes and drove her attention to Rocky after she heard what the captain said.

After a moment of thought, she demanded, "I know of it now. You should join the other teams at once.

Let me settle this matter with Rocky." This content © 2024 .

The captain immediately led his other members and left the grounds, leaving Rocky and Isis alone to

talk.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, your authority is quite impressive!" Rocky teased as he looked at Isis.

"Do you know what the captain has told me just now?" Isis said with a cold look in her eyes.

"How am I supposed to know that? But I guess it was not something nice about me." Rocky shrugged

and smiled.

"Did you get the seeds produced by the Heaven Divine Lotus?" Isis questioned, without beating around

the bush.

"What are you talking about? What 'Heaven Divine Lotus'? What seeds? I have never heard of them!"

Rocky said innocently. He was playing dumb on purpose. He certainly wouldn't tell Isis that he had

acquired the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds. If she knew he got it, she would give her best to get it. He

knew her quite well—she wouldn't give up until her purpose was realized.

"Then, tell me, why did the Rainbow Glow Unicorn walk to you?" Isis kept questioning him, reading him

for more answers.

"If the Rainbow Glow Unicorn is the beast I saw just now, then I can tell you that I really don't know why

it suddenly came to me. Maybe the beast thought that I am innocent, cute and kind, and it is fond of

me." Rocky expressed his banter with Isis.

"You..." Isis was choked with rage. Realizing that Rocky was arrogant and fond of teasing, she was

greatly annoyed. Her eyes grew sharp and her mind raced fast, 'This guy really doesn't give the respect

the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group deserves. If others dared to treat me

like that, I will take immediate action to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.

Yet, he has been given an exemption from death by my father. What can I do now?'
