CHAPTER 792 A SMALL REQUEST
Surrounding the Xiao mansion, the citizens of Barren City were astonished to see how Raef respected
Rocky. In fact, the citizens even thought that Rocky must be a big shot. Little did they know that Rocky
was just a mere servant of the Xiao Clan before.
At that point, both Travis and Mary had mixed feelings about what was happening. Mary used to
despise Rocky, but now that he had become the Xiao Clan's last hope, she could not help but resent
him even more.
"Chief Raef, I don't know why you put so much effort as to offer a reward on me. Is it because I
offended Miss Queenie of the Cao Clan and she planned to settle accounts with me?" Rocky asked
bluntly.
"You must be kidding me here, Mr. Rookie. Listen, I know I misunderstood you in the past, so please
give me the chance to apologize to you in person," Raef immediately responded with a humble smile.
"I won't dare let the chief of the Xiao Clan to apologize to me. Chief Raef, you must have something
else to tell me. Just say it. Don't beat around the bush. I can take it," Rocky sneered. He thought that it
was not Raef's nature to apologize for what happened last time. There must be something wrong.
"Okay, you got me. I'll be frank with you, Mr. Rookie. Do you remember Master Lucas of the Cao Clan?
The one who came with Miss Queenie the last time..." Seeing that Rocky was not easy to fool, Raef
knew he had to tell him the truth, or he would find it out from other people.
"Oh, Master Lucas! Yes, I do. So what's wrong with him?" Rocky answered.
"So, here is the thing. Master Lucas seems to appreciate your talent very much, so he particularly
recommended you to the chief of the Cao Clan. After that, the chief of the Cao Clan decided to let you,
Travis, and Mary attend the Beast Master Contest of the Timber Deity Empire on behalf of the Xiao
Clan," said Raef with an optimistic expression on his face. On the other hand, he was also worried,
because he didn't know if Rocky would agree to represent the Xiao Clan to attend the contest.
Surprised to hear such a thing, Rocky wondered why Lucas even recommended him to the chief of the
Cao Clan in the first place. On another note, this might have something to do with how he had saved
Queenie before. However, Queenie must be feeling nothing but hate for him. How could she let Lucas
recommend him to the chief? In addition to that, he was sure that if Queenie laid her eyes on him, she
would be furious. That was why he vowed to never see her again.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested." Rocky refused the offer in a straightforward manner.
"Oh, come on. Give it another thought! If you don't go, then the other two slots of the Xiao Clan will be
canceled as well. The future of the Xiao Clan rests on this year's Beast Master Contest. I hope you
reconsider the offer. Of course, the Xiao clan will treat you fairly and with utmost care. In fact, we are
ready to give you anything you want and need," Raef promised as cold sweat started to drip from his
forehead. Although he was already prepared for Rocky's refusal, he still got nervous the minute he
heard Rocky refuse him.
"I don't want to repeat what I just said. Even if you knelt down before me and begged me, I still would
not change my decision," Rocky said indifferently as he waved his hand.
The members of the Xiao Clan heard Rocky's words and could not help but gasp in surprise. They
didn't expect that a mere servant of the clan could get that cocky and domineering in front of their chief.
"How fucking dare you!" Travis shouted angrily upon hearing his refusal.
"Travis, don't be so rude!" Raef immediately yelled at Travis. He knew that now was time for him to
bear the shame and be humble in front of Rocky. It didn't matter if Rocky had insulted him; he would
accept every slander that he would throw upon him as long as he could take part in the contest on
behalf of his clan.
However, Mary seemed to have made up her mind as she walked towards Rocky with a sexy smile on
her face. "It seems that you are still angry with us, Mr. Rookie. In fact, I have done a lot of rude things
to you before, and I want to sincerely apologize for that. Now, could you please do me a favor and help
the Xiao Clan? After everything is done, I promise you that you will be greatly rewarded," she said. At
that point, she thought that she could easily charm him.
Seeing that Mary even used the honey trap, Rocky also smiled with disdain written all over his face.
Like father, like daughter. In order to achieve their goal, both of them would do everything to push
through with their intention. This content belongs to NĂ´/velDra/ma.Org .
"If there is nothing else that we should talk about, then I would rather leave now," said Rocky. Not
wanting to have anything to do with the Xiao Clan, he wanted to leave at that very moment.
Seeing that he didn't bite the bait, Mary seemed a little angry. However, she turned her eyes and
suddenly said, "Mr. Rookie, even if you want to leave, you should go and see my sister first. After you
left last time, she didn't have any appetite for food and drinks, because she felt that you left the Xiao
Clan all because of her. I thought you should know that she feels so guilty. In fact, she has lost a lot of
weight since then."
Mary's words seemed to have successfully captured Rocky's weakness and made him stop at once.
Turning back, his arrogant smile switched into a frown. He said, "Miss Mary, it seems that you have
misunderstood something. There's nothing special between Miss Juey and me."
"Well, that's what you think, Mr. Rookie. But my sister is a single-minded person. She would never
forget those who once helped her," Mary said when she saw that Rocky actually cared about Juey very
much.
Meanwhile, Rocky somehow believed that what Mary said was true, because he knew that Juey was a
soft-hearted girl. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Where is she?"
"Right this way, Mr. Rookie." As soon as she finished her words, Mary nodded to Raef and left with
Rocky.
"Thank God. Mary's plan is working." Seeing that Rocky had finally chosen to stay, Raef felt relieved.
"Father, are we really going to act so humble in front of him?" Obviously, Travis also shared the same
feeling they had towards Rocky.
"The Beast Master Contest is very important to our Xiao Clan. In any case, as long as Rookie can
participate on behalf of our clan, then there is no price too high. But I can see that the guy seems to
have a crush on Juey. Maybe we can make use of it while he still admires her," Raef said with an evil
smile.
"Father, do you mean that we are going to use Juey to our advantage? I don't think it's a good idea."
Travis' face changed dramatically.
"It's none of your business. Focus on getting ready to take part in the Beast Master Contest," Raef
said. He glared at Travis and left afterwards.
On the other hand, Rocky walked in the Xiao mansion along with Mary. They walked past an arched
door that led to a long corridor surrounded by green trees and red flowers. After walking with such a
pleasant scene, they arrived at the backyard of the mansion.
"Where have you been these days, Mr. Rookie? It seems that you have set out for a long journey,"
Mary said. Seeing that Rocky didn't talk much, she decided to initiate a topic that they could talk about.
"I'm not that familiar with you yet, Miss Mary. I don't think I need to tell you where I've been," Rocky
replied coldly.
Upon hearing his harsh words, Mary felt enraged. If it weren't for keeping Rocky to stay and take part in
the Beast Master Contest on behalf of the Xiao Clan, she would not display humility in front of him. In
fact, she could not wrap her head around as to why a mere servant of the clan captured Lucas'
attention. Lucas had even recommended Rocky to the chief of the Cao Clan in person. Despite what
Lucas thought of him, Mary sensed that Rocky was not a Beast Master at all. In fact, all she knew
about him was that he was just a little smart.
