CHAPTER 722 WE ARE BROTHERS

"Alston, if I kill Woods, it will provoke a huge war between the Timber Deity Empire and the Holy

Dragon Empire. You are the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire. Don't you care about the safety

of the people in your empire?" Rocky asked. Alston would endanger the entire Holy Dragon Empire just

so he could kill him. This was truly insane.

"Yes, you're right. Only in this way can I even the score with you!" Alston laughed. He failed to use

Mont City to crush Rocky; instead he had made him more famous. The battle at Mont City brought out

the best in Rocky and his army. Alston himself, however, had ruined the advantage the Crimson

Dragon Army had built and was thoroughly discredited.

Because of this, Alston needed a big war to prove his ability. He would not hold back on any

opportunity to stir up a conflict between the Timber Deity Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire.

"You're out of your mind! Alston, this idea is insane," Rocky shouted. It was only now that he saw

through Alston's motives. Apart from trying to get even with him, Alston also had a foolish plan that

could backfire if he was not careful. Just to save face, he would stir up a war between the Timber Deity

Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire.

"I never thought the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire would be so despicable and shameless!"

Woods mocked Alston. A bitter smile swept across his face.

"Your Timber Deity Empire started this war. You are the one who should be ashamed," Alston sneered,

staring at Woods.

"The reason I said you're despicable is not because you want to start a war between the two empires,

but because you will go to great lengths just to exact revenge on Rocky. You want to start a war so you

can vindicate yourself from all the embarrassment. I'm sure it was you who leaked the information of

the Crimson Dragon Army to us. It never entered my mind that the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon

Empire would betray his own country just to settle the score with a man. I truly feel sorry for the Holy

Dragon Empire!" Woods glared at Alston with hate.

"Shut up!" Alston said furiously.

"You have the boldness to start a war, but you don't have the courage to let the others know? As the

eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, you do not support a talent like Rocky, and you even want to

kill him. No wonder the Holy Dragon Empire is no match for the Timber Deity Empire," Woods

continued. His face showed no emotion. He was not afraid of Alston at all.

"Humph! The Holy Dragon Empire doesn't give a damn about your Timber Deity Empire. You will soon

witness the power of our Holy Dragon Empire," Alston said in a proud voice.

"If you become the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, eventually the empire will be destroyed.

Thanks to you!" In Rocky's eyes, Alston was like a lunatic.

"Ha-ha! Brother, are you really going to fight me on this? A loser like you has no place on the throne.

You don't even have the right to argue with me. Don't even think about it!" Alston laughed

uncontrollably.

"Brother?" The word stunned Woods. He looked at Rocky, looking for an answer. He had no idea

Rocky and Alston were brothers.

"Yes, I am also a prince of the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky said in a calm voice. There was nothing

more to hide at this point.

"You are also a prince of the Holy Dragon Empire? Now I understand. No wonder he's doing everything

to kill you. Without a doubt, you are a great threat to him. With your proven skills and leadership, you

are more suitable to become the next emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. You have a big heart while holds © this.

he is ruthless and evil. Harming your own brother to get what you want is not something a decent

human can do. From where I stand, there is nothing he would not do to get the throne!" Everything

became clear. As a prince himself, Woods lived through the perils of being the heir to the throne.

"Woods, you talk too much. Don't forget that he will kill you for me. Are you sure you pity him?" Alston

asked, angered by Woods' clear thinking and sympathy towards Rocky.

"I would rather die in his hands than in yours. You are nothing but a lunatic," Woods said calmly, and

then turned to look at Rocky.

Rocky kept his eyes on Sue. His feelings were messed up. Right now, there was a chance for him to

escape. But it meant sacrificing her life. He could never leave her behind.

"Rocky, if you don't do it, I will do it. I will kill Sue!" Alston laughed as he tightened his grip on her throat.

A painful expression appeared on Sue's face.

Rocky glared at Alston, as hate filled his heart.

"Is that girl really so important to you?" Woods asked. He looked at Rocky and found the answer on his

face. It was red with anger and he could see through the pain in his eyes. Woods knew the answer to

his question.

Rocky remained quiet and motionless, but the look in his eyes explained everything.

"It looks like I am at death's door." Woods bowed his head and smiled. He did not expect things to turn

out like this. He did not want to die this way.

"I'm sorry. I don't have a choice." Rocky's voice faltered as he spoke. The light in his eyes dimmed.

"If this is my fate, then so be it. It's an honor to die in your hands." Woods closed his eyes and

remained calm. He was not afraid of death.

Rocky turned to look at Alston and asked, "If I kill him, will you release Sue?"

"That's right." Alston nodded.

"But why should I believe you?" asked Rocky.

"All right, in the spirit of brotherhood, I will let her go so she can stand between us. The moment you kill

Woods, she can run towards you." Alston sounded kind and selfless. He then released Sue and

threatened, "Stand between me and Rocky. Don't you dare do anything foolish if you don't want your

dear Mr. Bai to die."

Sue's face was deathly pale and her body trembled in fear. She was not afraid to die, but it terrified her

that Rocky might die because of her. She walked towards Rocky slowly until she was more than ten

steps away from him.

"That's enough!" Alston shouted and gestured for her to stop.

Sue stopped and fixed her eyes on Rocky.

Rocky could see Sue's body shaking, and he could read the fear in her eyes. He hated seeing her like

this and tried to assure her, "Sue, do not be afraid. I will let nothing happen to you."

"Mr. Bai, please don't do this. Just go! They will not let you go even if you kill Prince Woods!" Sue tried

to convince Rocky. She knew this was part of Alston's plan. He would kill Rocky, come what might.

"It doesn't matter. I will take you away." Rocky understood the truth behind Sue's words and fear. All the

same, he had to make sure she was safe.

He then turned to look at Woods.

"Just do it. We will meet again in the afterlife. I hope next time you will not refuse my kindness," Woods

said calmly. His words pierced through Rocky's heart. He was not afraid of death. His sad fate had

been written in the stars, and there was nothing else he could do right now. His three bodyguards were

useless, unable to protect themselves. He himself did not have the strength to defend himself. He just

wanted to die swiftly and avoid the pain that came with death.

At this moment, Rocky finally realized the reason Woods wanted to take him back to the Timber Deity

Empire. It was not just a gesture of appreciation, but also trust. But unfortunately now he needed to

make a choice and protect Sue from harm.
