CHAPTER 849 THE MYSTERY MAN

"Master, are you serious? Is he really that talented?" Queenie felt discouraged as she heard Lucas'

generous praise. She had always been Lucas' favorite, and now she felt really worthless and inferior.

People regarded her as a rare genius at evaluating beasts. But now, her master praised Rocky highly.

He never used that praise with anyone else before and it seemed like Lucas was really impressed by

Rocky's ability. However, it was her turn to see Rocky in a new light after she saw him perform the

Radiance Evaluation Skill and the Stroking Evaluation Skill successively.

Rocky's amazing performance also caught the attention of Alyssa, who was seated at the judge's

platform. She stared at him with curiosity and felt that he looked familiar.

Rocky had everyone's attention, including all the other princes in attendance. They were all curious

about his identity, most especially Geoffrey, who wanted to recruit such a low-key but outstanding talent

like Rocky.

Geoffrey gestured to the servant behind him. Immediately, the servant approached and bowed before

Geoffrey. He then whispered something to the servant, and without a word, the servant turned around

and left.

"Alyssa, the man is amazing," said Woods, who already knew the identity of Rocky. He noticed that his

sister had her eyes on Rocky the moment he went up onto the stage. He watched his sister's actions

and looked for clues if she still held a grudge against Rocky. He could not overlook the fact that Rocky

destroyed her plan to fight against the Holy Dragon Empire. Although she freed Rocky twice, there was

no guarantee that she would not try to kill Rocky once she recognized him. After all, Rocky was Timber

Deity Empire's number one enemy.

He had to be cautious, and he needed to know what his sister was up to. He did not want to kill Rocky.

He owed Rocky his life and in return he wanted to protect him. On top of everything, Rocky had a

secret plan that would benefit him. He knew Rocky would not do anything hastily. He had a plan and

that plan could help him ascend to the throne one day. For this reason, he would do anything in his

power to protect that plan and Rocky.

"Is he really a beast evaluator of the Cao Clan? He looked vaguely familiar. Since when did the Cao

Clan acquired an impressive talent?" Alyssa asked in confusion. She never knew that the Cao Clan

took in a young talented beast evaluator, and they had kept him hidden for a long time.

"Who knows? And I feel that he is very similar to that man. They are both extraordinary, don't you

think?" Woods answered as he hinted at something.

"That man?" Alyssa was puzzled at first, but soon realized whom Woods spoke of. In an instant, the

look on her face became cold and distant. Her eyes could not hide the sudden sadness, and

disappointment ensued by the memory that filled her mind.

The pain in her eyes at that moment did not escape Woods' scrutiny. It was not the first time that he

had seen it. He had seen the same look in her eyes after she returned from the Holy Dragon Empire. owns this text.

Obviously, it had something to do with Rocky.

'It seems like she has a unique feeling for Rocky. If it's not anger, then what is it?' Woods asked

himself. But judging from the look in her eyes, he reached a conclusion. Even if she figured out that the

mysterious beast evaluator of the Cao Clan was Rocky, she was not likely to kill him.

Still, Woods chose not to tell her the truth. If Alyssa found out he hid the entire story from her, he knew

she would be furious and he would suffer the brunt of her anger. It would be better if she discovered the

truth herself. Anyway, with Rocky's endless display of strength, he was sure she would recognize him,

sooner or later. For now, he would just pretend not to know anything.

As Rocky continued to amaze everyone with his performance, he and Carter ended the evaluation. It

was a high-level beast evaluating competition, and it was prominent enough to be compared to a

competition hosted by the royal family.

However, the result of the second round astonished the crowd. It was a unanimous decision, and the

five judges decided that it was a tie. The strength displayed by Rocky and Carter were at par with each

other, and none of the five judges dared to argue who was stronger. Even Alyssa kept her admiration

for the mysterious man to avoid ridicule.

But this was a competition, and it had to end with a winner. The competition was not just about

strength. More than that, it was about patience and perseverance. The one who could hold on to the

end would become the winner.

"Damn it! Who the hell is this guy?" Carter stared at Rocky furiously. Fame and victory were within his

reach until this man came up on the stage and threatened to overthrow him. He wondered where this

guy came from and how he learned the Radiance Evaluation Skill.

He only knew one beast evaluator who could use both the Radiance Evaluation Skill and the Stroking

Evaluation Skill. It was prince Basil, and he died a month ago. During the competition for Top Beast

Evaluator's Jade Cup held at the Super Beast Farm, prince Basil defeated him, but that was

understandable. The prince used the Magical Evaluation Skill, which was never passed down to other

clans for the last three hundred years. After he was defeated by Basil, he realized that if he wanted to

become stronger, he must also learn skills of other clans. It was why he ignored his master's

instructions and learned the Stroking Evaluation Skill secretly. He wanted to strengthen himself.

If he didn't know that Basil was dead, Carter could easily assume that the mysterious beast evaluator in

front of him was actually Basil. "It's unthinkable. But who was this guy?"

None of it made sense, but Carter was sure of one thing. No ordinary person could learn the Radiance

Evaluation Skill and the Stroking Evaluation Skill. And the beast evaluator in front of him was someone

important. This frustrated him further. He needed to gain grounds if he wanted to defeat his opponent

and he had to take him seriously this time. He felt that he had miscalculated his strength after he fought

with him twice in this competition. He promised himself not to make the same mistake in the next

round.

"Let's wait and see. I will show you what the true Beast Evaluation Skill is!" said Carter as he stared at

Rocky fiercely. A strong aura suddenly emanated from his body and surrounded him from all sides.
