CHAPTER 904 ALYSSA IS STRANGE

Of course, refining the spiritual crystal required a lot of raw materials, and it was not an easy thing to

collect all of them in such a short time, especially for one person alone. But it just so happened that

Rocky had a very valuable resource now —the Cao Clan. With their help, he could easily obtain the raw

materials.

He knew that he was so important to the Cao Clan that they would be willing to do anything for him. In

fact, they would try their best to fulfill all of his requests and please him so that he would stay.

So, after going back to the mansion of Cao Clan, Rocky went straight to the Magnificent Hall, knowing

that he could find Lucilla there.

When he arrived there, he asked someone to go in and inform Lucilla. Lucilla was surprised to see that

he had suddenly taken the initiative to come to her. Earlier, when Rocky had come back, he had told

everyone not to disturb him. Ever since then, Lucilla had been worried about how he was doing. Now

that she saw he was well, she felt relieved.

A few seconds later, as per Rocky's request, the two of them were alone in the side hall of the

Magnificent Hall.

"What's the matter, Mr. Rookie?" Lucilla asked gently. Even though Rocky was standing in front of her

as usual, she felt like he seemed shining as brightly as the sun.

"Chief Lucilla, excuse me for my abrupt visit, but I have a favor to ask of you." Rocky came straight to

the point.

"Please don't be so courteous to me, Mr. Rookie. You are our Cao Clan's savior now. If it weren't for

you, we would have lost this year's Beast Master Contest. So if there is anything I can do for you,

please let me know." Lucilla was someone who knew how to appreciate others' kindness. Since the

Cao Clan had won the Beast Master Contest with Rocky's help, they would surely do something for him

in return.

"Then I'll be straightforward! Chief Lucilla, I want you to prepare a spacious house for me. It will be

better if the house is located in a secluded environment. In addition, please help me collect a few

things..." Rocky listed them out.

"That's all you want? No problem. But, Mr. Rookie, what are you going to do with all these things?"

Lucilla asked curiously.

"Well, I'm afraid I can't explain my purpose to you now," Rocky said mysteriously.

"I understand. Well, I'll send a steward to you. Whatever you need, just ask him." Since Rocky did not

seem keen on divulging his purpose, she didn't want to pester him about it. After thinking for a moment,

she agreed to his conditions. Moreover, she had guessed from his words that he did not plan to leave

the Cao Clan anytime soon. Even if his stay was only temporary, it was undoubtedly a good thing for

her and the Cao Clan! holds © this.

"Thank you very much," Rocky said calmly.

"Well, now that the Beast Master Contest is over, some of the beast masters from other clans who

represented the Cao Clan will go back to their clans tomorrow, including the two ladies of the Xiao

Clan. However, I can arrange for Juey to stay behind if she wants. What do you think about letting her

become the beast master of our clan, Mr. Rookie?" A hint of shrewdness flashed through Lucilla's eyes.

In fact, she had planned this for a long time and had just been waiting for the right moment to tell Rocky

about it. Of course, she had only come up with such an idea in order to retain Rocky at the Cao

Mansion, because she believed that as long as Juey stayed, Rocky would not leave either.

"Juey is the chief of the Xiao Clan now, so she should return. As for me, I will remain in your mansion

for a while. Don't worry that I will leave abruptly, Chief Lucilla," Rocky said with a slight frown,

immediately seeing through her.

Realizing that Rocky had read her mind, Lucilla blushed and smiled back.

"Then, Chief Lucilla, I'll take my leave." Since he had said all that he wanted to say, Rocky turned to

leave.

"Wait!" Lucilla called out suddenly.

Rocky turned and looked at her. She then said, "I know you don't like noisy events and being

surrounded by many people, so I didn't arrange a celebration banquet for you. However, as the chief of

the clan, I still want to treat you to a meal alone to show my sincere gratitude. There won't be anyone

else present. Would you like to accept my invitation?"

Rocky thought about it for a while, and then nodded. "Sure. Send someone to call me then." The Cao

Clan was an important part in his plan, so he had to show respect to them. After accepting Lucilla's

invitation, Rocky walked away.

Looking at his receding back, Lucilla sighed with a complex expression in her eyes.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the castle of the Qi Clan was tense.

Ever since Alyssa had announced that the winner of the contest was the Cao Clan, the Qi Clan had

been extremely furious as they had planned ahead and gone to great lengths for their victory. With the

victory of the Cao Clan, coupled with Rocky's stunning performance at the contest, everyone in the

Timber Deity Empire was talking about how they all thought that the Cao Clan would take this

opportunity to regain their power and morale. After all, with the help of a talented beast master like

Rocky and the renowned Lucas, the Cao Clan would be far superior to the other clans.

After the Beast Master Contest, some of the second-class and third-class clans that were originally

affiliated with the Qi Clan were now eager to switch sides. If these small clans turned to the Cao Clan,

then the Cao Clan would gain even more power. This could be the downfall of the Qi Clan.

At that moment, the important figures of the Qi Clan, including Alexander and Samson, were gathered

in the meeting hall. In addition, Tate, who had been hurt by Alyssa before, was also there. He seemed

to be recovered now.

"Damn it!" yelled Alexander with a ferocious look on his face.

When the others saw this, they pulled a long face and shook their heads with a sigh.

"I really don't understand why Princess Alyssa is on the Cao Clan's side all of a sudden. She used to

favor our clan very much and even promised me that if the Qi Clan could win the Beast Master Contest,

she would make our clan the number one clan in the Timber Deity Empire," Tate said, feeling extremely

puzzled.

"Who knows what she was thinking about? Or maybe she was just playing a trick on our clan all along,"

said Alexander resentfully, gritting his teeth.

"Prince Alyssa's announcement was indeed very strange, but what was more strange was her attitude

towards the mysterious beast master from the Cao Clan. Moreover, she suddenly disappeared with that

man for a whole night and then came back with him the next day. I can't help but feel that there is

something wrong with the whole thing Maybe they already knew each other before, or maybe they are

hiding some secrets." Samson, who sat beside Alexander, had an equally puzzled look on his face.
