Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1017 The Most Wanted Thing Was To Take Revenge

"Mr. Rookie, is there anything bothering you?" A sweet voice came from behind Rocky, startling him.He whirled around and saw Lucilla, who walking gracefully toward him.

"Chief Lucilla, what brings you out here?" Rocky asked with a faint smile pulling at the corners of hismouth.

"Please, call me Lucilla. I just wanted to thank you for protecting Queenie that day. If it weren't foryou, Mr. Rookie, she would have been in danger," Lucilla said gratefully. She greatly appreciatedwhat Rocky had done for her and the Cao Clan, whether it was intentional or not.

"It's no big deal. Anyway, it's the last time." Rocky calmly shook his head.

She couldn't help the gasp that escaped her lips when she heard his words. Her face paled slightly,and her hands trembled by her side. Although she was mentally prepared, she didn't expect thatthis moment would come so soon. "Are you leaving so soon?"

"I have finished what I planned to do in the Timber Deity Empire. There is no reason for me to stay.Besides, I have other important things to do,” Rocky said bluntly.

"I see..." she murmured quietly, looking pitiful and sad.

"What's wrong? Are you missing me already?" replied Rocky jokingly, as his own way of lighteningthe mood.

"Maybe you are right, but I know you won't stay for me, Mr. Rookie,” she answeredstraightforwardly. From the start, she had a feeling that Rocky could not be hers alone, so she didnot harbor any illusions.

"You are right. I cannot stay, but you can consider going with me, as long as you are willing to let goof everything you have now," Rocky said tentatively.

"Mr. Rookie, you know I can't do that... Even if I want to, I can't!" grumbled Lucilla, frowning cutely athim.

"That would be a pity. I thought something more could grow between us, Lucilla.” Rocky pretendedto be regretful, but Lucilla could see the boyish smirk he was hiding

"You are so mean. Stop teasing me! You are going to leave already, so why are you making me thinkabout all these things?" As Lucilla spoke, she suddenly leaned forward in Rocky's arms andcontinued, "When I'm with you, I feel safe. I feel at home. I can put down any disguise and act likean ordinary woman, but we are not destined to be together. Perhaps, you are the only man in mylife who has successfully charmed me. I'm afraid that if I let you go, I will regret it for the rest of mylife..."

"I understand. Take good care of yourself, okay? This could be our last meeting, or maybe, we willmeet again someday. But I cannot stay here any longer," Rocky said frankly. After all, if he returnedto the Holy Dragon Empire and regained his status as Prince Basil, he would not be able to appearin the Timber Deity Empire again, at least not aboveboard.

Hearing this, Lucilla's eyes turned red, and it took every ounce of her self-control to stop herselffrom crying. She took a deep breath, calming herself because this was the last time they could betogether. She didn't want him to see her in such a pitiful state.

"I'll go inside first.” Then, Lucilla left Rocky's arms. She looked at Rocky with a smile, her beautifuleyes wet with unshed tears. She tried to look strong, but the sadness in her eyes could not beconcealed. She gave him a final nod and left.

"You are quite an affectionate man!" At this moment, a coquettish voice sounded. Rocky turned hishead and saw a graceful figure in the moonlight.

"Why are you here? What did the emperor say about the spiritual treasure?" Rocky asked curiously.He had immediately recognized the figure, just by hearing her voice. It was Alyssa.

"That's none of your business. You don't need to care about the spiritual treasure. Didn't I say that Iwould talk to you after the treasure hunting game was over?" Alyssa glared at Rocky.

"Oh, yes. Sorry. So many things have happened today, so I forgot.” Rocky nodded immediately.

The two of them went to the pavilion by the lake where he and Woods had met before. At thismoment, the quiet lake was an enchanting sight, as it reflected the crescent moon, with barely aripple in sight.

"When are you going back to the Holy Dragon Empire?" Alyssa asked straightforwardly even beforethey had entered the pavilion.

Rocky took his time, sitting down before he answered. "If you don't have anything else for me to do,I'm going to leave in two or three days.”

"If you just go back like this, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Alyssa asked. Her voice soundedworried, while her eyes were narrowed suspiciously.

"What kind of trouble? If I go back, everyone will be happy, right?" Rocky said with a faint smile. Ofcourse, he also knew that it was not as simple as he had said. However, he didn't want Alyssa toknow too much about him, especially the things related to Alston.

"Maybe it's true for most people, but for Alston, the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, it'shard to say, isn't it?" Alyssa asked shrewdly, her dark eyes boring into his very soul

The casual name-drop immediately alerted Rocky that she knew more than she was letting on.Maybe she had known from the start, or perhaps she had found out more along the way.

"Did Prince Woods tell you something?" Rocky asked after a short pause.

"I guessed it by myself. I've already found out that my brother was hiding something from me lasttime when you were all attacked. And when I found out that you were the prince of the Holy DragonEmpire, I was already suspicious. Not long ago, after I confirmed some information, I was sure thatthe person who attacked you was the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire. He is your brother,who is also the successor of the next emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, Alston. Well? Did I get itright?” With Alyssa's intelligence, how could she not suspect that there was something strangeabout the attack against Woods and Rocky? And the fake death that Rocky arranged was enoughproof that there must be something wrong.

Later on, she suspected that her brother must have been hiding something from her. When Rockyappeared later, she felt that all of these could not be a coincidence, so she also asked Laney togather information secretly, especially information about him when he was still in the CrimsonDragon Group. As a result, she learned that when Alston was in the Crimson Dragon Army, he keptraising objections against Rocky and almost put the Crimson Dragon Army in trouble, which hadnearly fulfilled the wish of the Timber Deity Empire. Therefore, after some speculation and analysis,she was sure that the one who attacked Rocky and her brother was the eldest prince, Alston. And itshould also be Alston who leaked Rocky's route to her to deal with Rocky. That was all part of hisplan.

In her opinion, the reason why Alston tried so hard to get rid of Rocky was that he was worried thatRocky would threaten his position as the successor, so he tried his best to deal with him.

In this case, everything made sense.

"I really can't hide anything from you, can't I?" Rocky said calmly although it seemed that Alyssa hadalready put together everything.

"So, now that you are going back to the Holy Dragon Empire, your priority is taking revenge onAlston, right?" Alyssa asked as if she had seen through Rocky's mind.
