CHAPTER 625 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM

"This is all my fault," Woods lamented. "I should have been more careful." He was confident at first that

he could successfully attack Evian City. However, his plans did not consider Rocky joining in defense of

the Crimson Dragon Army especially when he was wronged by Lance.

"Rocky should not have intervened. We underestimated him. He even managed to escape the

assassination and successfully revealed Laney's identity," Alyssa said with resentment. Hearing

Rocky's name made her flinch and triggered a deep anger in her. She could not wait actually meeting

the man and giving him what he deserved.

"I've warned you about him, Alyssa." Woods was only informed afterwards that Alyssa sent Laney to

plan the assassination. When he found out, the plan was already in motion. He could only worry about

Rocky. When Laney returned, she informed them that her identity had been exposed and that the

assassination had failed. Woods felt a rock get lifted off his chest. Despite everything, he did not want

Rocky to die like that.

"He can't run away forever," Alyssa remarked with conviction.

"Your Royal Highness, the Evian City spy sent news." A guard came in with an armful of paper.

Alyssa grabbed the papers and skimmed it. Her eyes widened as she went through the files.

"What happened?" Woods asked after seeing Alyssa's shocked expression.

As a way of response, Alyssa passed the papers to him.

"Rocky is going to marry the daughter of Lance?" Woods shared Alyssa's surprise. "And it's happening

soon.

We shouldn't have let go of him before. We should have killed him earlier. As soon as he marries the

daughter of Lance, he would become much more powerful than he already is," Alyssa said sternly.

"Do you just want to kill him because you are afraid of losing?" Woods inquired. He knew that Alyssa

was already determined to kill Rocky. And, if Alyssa planed something, it was more likely a sure thing

to happen. At that point, Rocky's early death was inevitable.

"Are you kidding me? I am not afraid. I just think he's annoying and a nuisance. He had been hiding

from us which is frankly cowardly of him. He isn't even brave enough to confront me in the battlefield,"

Alyssa sneered scornfully, "That's good to hear especially now that you will soon have a chance to fight

Rocky face to face," Woods said with a knowing smile.

"What do you mean?" Alyssa asked.

"I just have a strong feeling that Rocky will be taking control of Crimson Dragon Army. Lance wouldn't

just let him marry his daughter without a real valuable exchange. Rocky would make a great army

leader," Woods speculated.

"It's possible. But I won't let him win, even he has the entire Crimson Dragon Army with him," Alyssa

said, clenching her fist.

Woods did not let her rage get to him. He smiled and thought to himself, 'Rocky, you owe me big time. I

just saved your life. I will not let you go away easily. And don't you dare fight my sister or else that will

be your sure defeat.'

As Woods and Alyssa planned Rocky's defeat, Lance was planning Rocky's wedding with Isis which

was scheduled to happen in three days.

Lance had already spoken to Rocky about leading the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army. He

would be taking charge right after his marriage with Isis.

Everything happened quickly. It was fortunate that the Crimson Dragon Group had more than enough

resources to fund the wedding. With still three days until the wedding, Rocky and Isis had already

received generous amounts of gift from well-known people in Evian City and the surrounding cities.

They all wanted to be more connected with Lance.

The base camp was already crowded with visitors from different places.

Amidst all the flurry of activities, Isis and Rocky just sat still and waited for their big day.

Isis was involved with the planning because it was expected of the bride.

While Rocky often disappeared into the morning and went home late.

The day before their wedding, Sue went to Rocky's room and found no one inside. He had been gone

for two days and he hadn't tried his red robe yet.

"Why would he disappear the day before the wedding?" Isis was worried. After all, Rocky had already

done something similar in the past.

"Don't worry, Miss Isis. Mr. Bai is reliable. I am certain he will fulfil his duties to you and the Crimson

Dragon Army." Sue treated Rocky like her elder brother. She was happy that Rocky was marrying Isis

especially because she had always admired Isis.

"Sue, don't call the lady Miss Isis anymore. You can just call the lady sister," the maid beside them

teased. Isis was also aware of their relationship.

"I can't do that. Although the lady will be almost like my sister-in-law, she deserves respect and nothing

else. I will still call her Miss Isis," Sue insisted.

Isis let out a soft chuckle. At that point, her mind was overwhelmed. She couldn't believe she was going

to marry the next day, and that she was going to marry Rocky. It seemed like it was just yesterday

when she first met Rocky. It was at the Isis Pavilion and she caught Rocky peeping at her. And now,

she was going to marry that man. They had been through quite a drama together it felt almost unreal.

"Miss Isis, please look out for Mr. Bai. After all, he is quite irresponsible with himself. I hope you take Content held by .

good care of him," Sue said as she combed Isis' hair.

"I will." Isis nodded. She knew that it was her duty as a wife to take care of him and she accepted it

wholeheartedly. Their marriage was inauthentic, but she was determined to act like a real wife.

"The phoenix coronet and the gown are here. You can try it on. If it doesn't fit, we'll send it to the tailor."

Two maids entered with the items.

Isis admired the phoenix coronet and the gown and said, "It's beautiful."

"Oh my, you'd definitely look gorgeous in this!" Sue sweetly remarked.

With the help of the maids, Isis tried the wedding garments. Everyone in the room stared at her with

admiration. She looked like a peony in full bloom.

"Wow," a man's voice said. "My future wife looks beautiful. I wish there was a way for me to capture this

memory." Isis looked up and exchanged glances with the person who just entered the room.
