CHAPTER 614 WELL THOUGHT OUT

When Laney came out of the bedroom, she saw Rocky bent over the table. A sly smile appeared on

her ruddy lips.

"Mr. Rocky..." Laney sauntered to Rocky and shook him slightly, but Rocky didn't react at all. She

muttered quietly, "Don't blame me. You shouldn't have spoiled the princess's plans. You will die now!"

She quickly took out the dagger, which she had prepared in advance, from her sleeve.

Everything happened so fast. The dagger glinted in the darkness of the room, as it headed straight

toward Rocky. However, before it reached its mark, a hand stopped it from thin air.

Laney was stunned for a moment. The man who stopped her was Rocky! 'Wasn't he unconscious

earlier?' she thought.

Rocky stood up. He eyed Laney coldly, as he took the dagger from her hand. With a swift movement,

he threw out the dagger. It had landed beside her with a thud and deeply embedded into a wooden

pillar.

"Are you the one who is talking to Woods in the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group?" Rocky

asked as he studied Laney intently.

"How do you know?" Laney gasped in surprise. She suspected that Rocky had already recognized her,

but she didn't know why he could spot her. She should have hidden it well. Besides, Rocky didn't do

anything strange until just now.

"You mentioned that you knew the news of my return so quickly, which reminded me of what Yasmin

had told me. Many of the Commanders of our base camp are your distinguished guests. One of them

must tell you that I am back. I can guess that maybe the Commanders have said something to you, or

maybe you seduced them and inadvertently revealed the secret of the Crimson Dragon Group. If my

guess is right, it means that you know many secrets. In this way, you are very suspicious," said Rocky

with a pensive look on his face.

"So what? Those are just your suspicions. You do not have any evidence to support that." Laney

scrutinized Rocky. She could tell that he had other reasons to think that.

"Actually, your back revealed your identity. On the day I sneaked into the base camp, I heard the

conversation between you and Woods. I wanted to see your face, but I was found by accident.

However, I did see your back. A beauty like you left a deep impression on me. It was just a glance, but

that sight was imprinted in my mind. Just now, I saw your back by accident. I had to double-check, but

now I am sure. I know it was you." The corners of Rocky's lips curled up into a smile. Of course, he

said that as if it easily happened. The truth was, if he hadn't noticed Laney's back, he would have

foolishly fallen into her trap.

Laney never thought that Rocky would identify her just by his suspicions and her body figure. She was

once flawless, but at this critical moment, she failed.

"It seems that I have underestimated you! I thought you would let your guard down around me," Laney

said ruefully. Her eyebrows were scrunched in remorse.

"I should be the one to say that. I didn't expect a weak woman like you to go deep into the territory of

the Crimson Dragon Army. You even gathered information by accompanying the soldiers. Besides, you

are not a spirit manipulator, so your courage makes me admire you. However, I have been suspicious

of you from the start. After all, it was strange for you to stay alone in the Geisha House. That is why I

came tonight. I wanted to confirm the truth with my eyes," Rocky responded with a sneer.

"If you suspected me, why did you let me drive away that master of the Supernal Stage? She was

constantly by your side. If you had her with you, I would not have easily made a move," Laney asked Content held by .

confusedly.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't hit me in her presence. That's why I wanted her to leave. I've also made

up my mind to get rid of her. It's killing two birds with one stone. How else can you swallow the bait?"

Rocky responded with a wicked smirk.

"I guess I have been so stupid. However, I can't just let you leave." As Laney talked, her companions

suddenly broke into the window and crowded the room.

"It seems that you have prepared a lot..." Rocky smiled, as he looked at the several delicate figures

around him. Although they were all women, two of them were at the Heavenly Stage. The rest of them

were all at the fifth level of the Earthly Stage or above. It was obvious that Laney had placed a myriad

of traps for him.

"The princess has ordered us to kill you, so I can do nothing about it. I...I think you are a good man.

You are the second one that I admired. I am sorry I have to kill you..." Laney sighed in dismay. She

looked away from Rocky and put more distance between them.

"Really? I didn't expect to be an eyesore of your princess. Besides, I'm not the only man that you are

interested in. If I'm the second man that you admire, who is the first one?" Rocky asked curiously.

"It's His Royal Highness. In fact, I think you and His Royal Highness have something in common. Even

your gestures and involuntary behaviors are similar," Laney honestly answered. A faint blush stained

her pale cheeks a delightful pink.

"Oh, it's him!" Rocky smiled at her, an amused glint in his eyes.

"Just surrender. I won't kill you. I think it's better to let the princess deal with you. That way, as long as

you are willing to recognize the situation, His Royal Highness will have a chance to plead for mercy for

you," Laney advised gently.

"Do you think you can keep me here? With your strengths..." Rocky trailed off as he studied his

opponents. Although there were a lot of people, they were inferior to Rocky in strength. He was

confident that he could escape.

"Do you think I just put medicine in the wine?" A shrewd expression crossed Laney's face. Her beautiful

red and purple eyes glinted intelligently.

Rocky's body suddenly tensed at Laney's words. He suddenly became aware of the heaviness in the

chest. He was further alarmed when the spiritual power circulation in his body seemed to be blocked.

"I have put a Spiritual Power Interrupting Incense in my censer. As long as you inhale a little of it, your

spiritual power circulation will be affected. The more you inhale, the greater the effect will be. The

incense you have been inhaling from the start is enough to stop you from using your spiritual power for,

at least, an hour. Without your spiritual power, you won't be able to defeat any of them," Laney

explained.

"You are really well prepared! But I still have you. Will your partners do anything to you?" Laney gasped

in alarm when Rocky abruptly pulled her into his arms. She inhaled sharply when he pressed one hand

against her neck.
