CHAPTER 931 I HATE YOU

"I've received information that Geoffrey has joined hands with the Qi Clan. He has also sent someone

to secretly investigate your identity. Apart from us, no one in the Timber Deity Empire knows your real holds © this.

identity, but with Geoffrey's resources, it's just a matter of time before they find out!" Alyssa said,

throwing a meaningful glance at Rocky.

Laney frowned and bit her lip. "Your Royal Highness, if people find out that Mr. Rocky is actually Prince

Basil, it will be a bad thing for you and Prince Woods. The other princes will use this information to turn

people against the both of you!"

"Exactly." Alyssa nodded.

Laney turned to Rocky with a confused expression and asked, "But Mr. Rocky, how are you still alive?

And why have you come to the Timber Deity Empire?"

"Oh, it's a long story," replied Rocky.

"According to the current situation, I think we should send you away from the Timber Deity Empire as

soon as possible," Laney suggested after giving it some thought.

"I agree. Since Geoffrey has begun to investigate your identity, we have to send you away just in case.

How about you go back to the Holy Dragon Empire?" Woods said to Rocky. Although he wished that

Rocky could stay here and help him, it was not advisable in the current situation. If Rocky's true identity

came to light, it would only complicate matters. In particular, it would have a big impact on his fight for

the throne.

"No, he can't leave the Timber Deity Empire yet," Alyssa said firmly, shaking her head. She couldn't let

Rocky leave before she made a decision. Since she already had a month's agreement with him, she

would not let go of him so easily.

Both Woods and Laney were puzzled to hear this and waited for Alyssa to explain. When she stayed

silent, however, they realized that Alyssa had a secret that she didn't want to talk about. Whatever it

was, if Rocky was to continue staying in the Timber Deity Empire, they would have to come up with an

idea to conceal his identity.

"Maybe we can send him back to the Xiao Clan's mansion in Barren City. It will be safe there," Woods

suggested after a while.

"No matter where we send him, he will be safe as long as he keeps a low profile," Alyssa grumbled.

Ever since Rocky had "died" and "come back to life," there had been a series of ups and downs. Now,

she needed Rocky once again for something that was important for her. Therefore, anything that

happened to him would have an impact on her as well.

Rocky shook his head. "I don't think keeping a low profile will make people stop suspecting me. In fact,

if I keep a low profile all of a sudden, people will become even more suspicious. I think I should act the

opposite. Although this is not my style, I'm afraid I'll have to reveal a fake identity to everyone. This is

the best way to keep my real identity a secret."

"I think Mr. Rocky is right. It's better to lie to everyone instead of just hiding," Laney said immediately.

Woods also nodded in agreement. If they could make everyone buy the lie, that would be the best

course of action. Alyssa didn't object either, but she had one particular concern.

"True, but he is the imperial spirit manipulator of the Holy Dragon Empire. If someone deliberately tests

him, he will easily expose his strength like he almost did just now. If I hadn't stopped him in time,

Harold might have found out that he is the imperial spirit manipulator." As she spoke, she shot a glare

at Rocky. She knew that although there were many types of powers inside Rocky's body, he could not

always avoid using the power of the Dragon Spirit Mark. Therefore, if Rocky was to fight with someone

else, he could unwittingly reveal his identity as the imperial spirit manipulator. And once that identity

was exposed, it would be hard to hide his identity as Prince Basil.

"Why don't we send some top masters to secretly protect him?" Woods asked.

Alyssa shook her head at Woods. "That would only arouse even more suspicion. In everyone's eyes,

Rocky is a member of the Cao Clan, but the Cao Clan has not yet pledged their allegiance to any

prince. Of course, in the end, they will definitely support you because of Rocky. But right now, if either

of us send our men to protect him, the other princes will realize that you have his support, and in turn

the Cao Clan's. If the fact that the Cao Clan is on your side is exposed too soon, the other princes

might work together to deal with you. So, we'd better keep this as quiet as possible. Besides, the Cao

Clan is like a fuse in the whole plan. The other princes will try to win over the Cao Clan or go against

them, especially Geoffrey and the Qi Clan. There will once again be a conflict..." Given the current

situation, she didn't think that they should get too close to the Cao Clan. It could stir up a lot of trouble

for Woods.

"You don't have to send someone to protect me. I don't like to be followed either. I'll just live my life as

usual. As long as I don't expose my identity, there won't be a problem," Rocky said calmly.

"How about this? I can hire some servants to keep watch on the Cao Clan. If Prince Geoffrey wants to

investigate you, he will surely send people to spy on you. In that case, I'll ask my servants to plant false

information about you to confuse his spies. Even if my servants get caught, no one will suspect you,

Your Royal Highness, or Prince Woods," Laney said slowly.

Impressed by this idea, Woods chuckled and nodded. "That's a good idea. No one will be able to

separate the truth from the lie."

"All right, we'll do that. If you get any information about him or his spies, just let me know as soon as

possible," Alyssa said to Laney.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Laney bowed her head.

"Then I'll leave first." Alyssa stood up, took a glance at Rocky, and then walked away.

"Then we'll leave too?" Woods asked Rocky now that Alyssa had left. But before Rocky could reply,

Laney suddenly opened her mouth. "Your Royal Highness, I have something to tell Mr. Rocky. Can you

let him stay for a while?"

Upon hearing that, Woods turned to Rocky to see his reaction. Since Rocky didn't object, Woods

nodded. "All right, I'll leave now. I'll see you at the Cao Clan's mansion soon." Then, he turned around

and left.

Now, only Rocky and Laney remained in the room.

"What do you want to tell me?" Rocky asked as soon as Woods was out of sight.

Laney suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and locked it. Then, she turned around with reddened

eyes.

"What happened? Did I do something wrong?" Rocky asked, feeling perplexed by the sudden change

in her behavior.

"I hate you!" Laney suddenly spat out.
