The Medallion

Chapter 51 The Surprising And Precious Gifts From Marcia (Part One)

Hearing that Marcia wanted to have a private talk with him, Rocky had a bitter smile and shrugged. He turned around and had a look at the crowd that stared at him and Marcia. They were gossiping about them. He didn't seem to care as he strutted away with Marcia. Marcia, a well-respected and well-known general, didn't beat him hard, which meant that she had given him enough face in public. The crowd didn't know the truth and obviously thought that there was a special relationship between them.

"Master Mia, what on earth is going on? Why does General Marcia want to talk with that Basil?" The officials in the crowd asked, completely baffled. Those two people were supposed to be from two different worlds. They should never have got any chance to meet each other. Even if they knew each other, how could the mighty general be willing to talk to an insignificant civilian like Basil?

Just like the officials, Mia was at a loss and shook her head blankly.

The fact remained that nearly one thousand people at the dragon field were stunned, with their mouth agape. Other than watching them leave, there was hardly anything they could do.

Rocky followed Marcia. He was anxious as Marcia had been silent all the way. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Unable to tolerate the silence, he walked a few steps forward. He could not stop himself and asked, "Excuse me! Marcia, why were you looking for me?"

"If I tell you that I want to kill you, so that you keep your mouth shut forever and also to prevent the revelation of my secret, how would you react?" Marcia asked jokingly. She turned around and steered her attention to Rocky. However, from the serious look on her face, Rocky felt that she was not joking at all.

"I've kept my mouth shut and never told anyone your secret!" Rocky protested and looked completely innocent.

"But, I'm still worried that my secret might leak out as long as you are alive." Marcia squinted at Rocky coldly. All of a sudden, the glint in her beautiful eyes disappeared.

"Well, before you kill me, please take this," Rocky added at once. Calmly he took out two bottles of the magical saliva from the pocket inside his robe and handed them to Marcia.

"What is inside the bottles?" Marcia seemed to know the answer, yet she feigned ignorance and asked Rocky.

"You had mentioned earlier that you wanted this miracle liquid. I kept that in mind and managed to get two bottles for you," answered Rocky honestly.

Rocky's words made Marcia's heart pound like a drum. She had come to find Rocky as she was determined to kill him. She clearly told Rocky what she wanted to do. But neither was Rocky afraid nor worried for his life. Rather he was offering her two bottles of the miracle liquid she had been always longing for. She felt that she was wrong.

She also had a deep understanding of the magical effect of the miracle liquid. Even a single drop of such a liquid would have amazing effects, and here Rocky was ready to give away two bottles to her. Based on her judgment, if he sold a bottle of the miracle liquid, he could definitely get rich. It would be right to say that Rocky was being too generous to her.

"Don't hold the thought that I wouldn't kill you after you offer me these two good bottles of the miracle liquid," Marcia warned coldly. Though Rocky was being too generous to her, she still had the worry that her secret would be revealed by him.

"Come with me," Rocky said simply. It seemed as if he was not taking her warning seriously. After finishing his words, he turned around abruptly and walked towards the yard where he was living.

Seeing Rocky's back, Marcia couldn't help but clench her fist. If she wanted to kill Rocky, she just had to wave her hand gently, and Rocky would be dead meat. So, she would not have to worry anymore about her secret. If someone investigated Rocky's death, she could use the excuse that Rocky was trying to harass her so she killed him. In the end, nobody would even bother to trouble her, as she was a high-ranking general of the Holy Dragon Empire. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

However, those were her previous thoughts. Now she happened to know that Rocky, known as Basil, was one of the sons of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. Things would be much trickier if she killed him. Although he had been demoted as a civilian due to his father's punishment, he still had the blood of the emperor in his body, and if she killed him, she would also offend the royal family. On the other hand, he was also the royal spirit manipulator who had integrated the Holy Dragon Bead into his body.

Others might have little understanding about the Holy Dragon Bead. She was more knowledgeable because it had a pretty close relationship with the tattoo on her back. If she killed Rocky now, the tattoo on her back would become useless.

Keeping in mind the above reasons, even if she had the intention of killing Rocky, she would not carry out such an intent now. Or in other words, she was not allowed to kill him unless she figured out the secret hidden on her back. But after she figured out the secret, it would become rather unnecessary to kill Rocky.

Perhaps it was the first time in Marcia's life that she felt most helpless. When she could easily kill a person, she hesitated for a long time and gave it so much thought. It was definitely not her style. Usually, she was a very decisive and formidable general who would intimidate countless enemies on the battlefield. Never had she expected that she would be in such a dilemma.

"Damn it!" Marcia glared at Rocky's back and swore coldly. Seeing Rocky go out of her sight, she had no way but to follow him.

"Where are we going?" Marcia asked in a cold voice after catching up with Rocky.

"There's a little guy who is so eager to see you," Rocky said and beamed.

"Do you mean your war beast?" Marcia couldn't help thinking of the lovely war beast that followed Rocky last time.

Rocky didn't reply but simply took Marcia to his room where his war beast was kept. As soon as the door of his room was opened, a shadow of the beast sprang out, not towards Rocky, but towards Marcia. It was Rocky's war beast, Uriah.

Howl! Rocky saw Uriah get in front of Marcia, winked its two big eyes, stared at Marcia and shook its head, looking a little excited. Apparently, it recognized Marcia.
