CHAPTER 578 THE MIDNIGHT TALK

"I just did something within the limits of my abilities. It's no big deal," the woman replied in a calm yet All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

sincere tone.

'Who the hell is this woman? According to Woods, the three passes were conquered due to her

contributions. In that case, she should just be another spy that was planted in the Crimson Dragon

Group. However, except for Marin, there was no other female Commander in the Crimson Dragon

Group. Who could this woman be? How did she get to know the secrets that only the Commanders

were aware of?' A bewildered thought came upon Rocky's mind as he eavesdropped on the

conversation between Woods and the unknown woman.

"Finally, we have conquered the Evian City. Since you have finished your mission, you can return first.

You will be celebrated as a heroine! My sister will surely be happy to see you," said Woods joyfully.

"Let's talk about that later. If you have no more business with me, I'd like to leave now." After the

woman finished her words, Rocky suddenly heard soft footsteps.

Naturally, he was very curious about the identity of this woman. As such, he immediately snuck to the

door of the hall to see who the woman was. If he could find out the identity of the woman, all of his

doubts would certainly be addressed.

However, just when he approached the door, a patrol suddenly appeared. In an authoritative tone, one

of them asked, "Who's there?" The patrol spotted Rocky so quickly!

The shout immediately alerted the three powerful warriors at the Heavenly Stage who were guarding at

the entrance of the hall. Instantly, the three warriors disappeared from their initial location. In the blink

of an eye, they were already in the rush towards Rocky's position.

When he saw this, Rocky remained calm but his eyes grew cold. Suddenly, the spiritual light over his

body shone brightly. In a flash, he jumped up and rushed directly at the entrance of the hall.

With a quick glance, he saw a delicate figure that had just walked out of the hall. The figure rushed to

the other side of the hall as if it realized that Rocky was on its trail. However, when Rocky decided to

catch up, the figure disappeared into the darkness.

On the other hand, when the three warriors saw that Rocky did not escape but instead, rushed towards

them, a surprised look enveloped each of their faces. However, they were able to quickly react and

tried to catch up with him. Nonetheless, they didn't expect him to suddenly turn around and rush into

the hall.

"Protect the prince!" The three warriors ran frantically as their screams echoed throughout the hall.

At that moment, Woods, who was in the hall, heard the commotion outside. Suddenly, a vague figure

rushed in. Woods was slightly shocked, but he still looked at the figure in front of him calmly. When he

recognized who the figure was, a surprised look fell upon his face.

"It's you!" Woods had never expected that Rocky would arrive in the hall. A shocked expression was

immediately shown in his face.

"Your Royal Highness, how are you doing?" Rocky stopped and asked in a sarcastic voice. A boastful

grin came across his mouth.

At the same time, a figure also suddenly appeared in front of Woods. The figure released its energy at

the Heavenly Stage. Spiritual light surged all over his body and he was about to attack Rocky at any

minute.

At that moment, the three powerful warriors had also rushed in. It was a rather difficult situation for

Rocky as four warriors had already surrounded him.

"No, Liam! All of you, leave. Now!" A cold and peculiar order was said by Woods.

"But, Your Royal Highness, he is…" When he heard the command of Woods, Liam felt confused. He

and the other guards couldn't help but suspect that since Rocky suddenly showed up, there must be a

conspiracy. Even if that wasn't the case, maybe he was the one who came here to assassinate Woods.

They had to stay alert about the intruder.

"It's OK; you can leave. He won't hurt me," said Woods with a calm look on his face as he callously

waved his hand.

Troubled looks appeared on the faces of Liam and the other three warriors as they looked at each.

Bewilderment seemed to envelop them as they became worried about the safety of Woods.

"Hey, you brat! We'll stay just outside the door. If you ever dare to hurt our prince, you won't be able to

see tomorrow alive!" After he left such a threat, Liam walked out of the hall along with the other three

warriors. However, even after they'd walked out of the hall, they still stared daggers at Rocky. With

sharp eyes, they meticulously monitored him in case he was to do something to hurt Woods.

"Please forgive my men's rudeness. They can be rough sometimes especially when it's about my

safety," said Woods in an apologetic tone.

"No, it's okay. I think I'm actually the one being rude. It's already midnight and yet I broke in without

informing you. It's a good thing that I was not considered an assassin," Rocky joked with a light smile

on his face.

"So, are you here to kill me?" Woods responded with a giggle.

"Haha. Who knows? I am no longer a Commander. It's a great relief for me that all those

responsibilities are no longer my worry. I'm really grateful for your doing," said Rocky with a cold shrug.

"Uhmmm, yes. I should really apologize to you for this matter. Nonetheless, if I didn't do that, we would

become enemies. I don't want to be on your bad side. On the contrary, I would truly appreciate it if we

can be good friends," said Woods calmly. From the first time they met, he already had a high opinion of

Rocky. With Rocky's outstanding skills as a Commander at the Hippo Land, Woods had already

deemed him to be someone special. That was why Woods set Rocky up, made Lance remove his

official title and even demote him to the logistic camp. Of course, Woods did that to kill two birds with

one stone. In that way, it could not only make Rocky lose confidence in Lance and the Crimson Dragon

Army, but it also made the Crimson Dragon Army a bit weaker since they lost a powerful warrior like

Rocky.

"If apologies are that effective, then the battle between our two empires won't happen," Rocky sneered

with cold eyes.

"I'm very sincere about my actions. You may think that my method is a bit despicable. However, please

believe me that what I did was just to protect you. You have already attracted the attention of my sister.

If you help the Crimson Dragon Army again, my sister will do everything in her power to take your life,"

warned Woods in a sincere voice.

"It's such an honor to be regarded as a strong enemy by Princess Alyssa. You said you would protect

me, but how can you treat me like this? With such a devious plan, you had set me up. If I wasn't lucky

enough, I would be dead right now. You might as well talk to my ghost," said Rocky sarcastically.

"Even if you have done something unforgivable to his daughter, Lance would still think twice about

killing a genius like yourself. Additionally, you only did that to save his daughter, right?" Woods was

already aware of everything that happened to Rocky. Everything had happened according to his plans.

"What a perfect plan!" Although Rocky had guessed about it before, he had a different feeling when he

had heard it from Woods himself.

"It was not very perfect. However, at least Lance had paid for his mistake. Without you in the Crimson

Dragon Army, he wouldn't be able to defeat my sister. Now that we have conquered the Evian City, it

means that the Crimson Dragon Army has lost to us," said Woods firmly.

"Do you really think so?" A trace of shrewdness flashed through Rocky's smile.
