Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1019 A Gift For Rocky

"I hope you can do me a favor, but whether you agree or not is your own decision,” Alyssaanswered. Her voice was trembling, and her hopeful gaze was fixated at Rocky.

"And what favor would that be?" Rocky asked doubtfully.

"After you exact your revenge, I hope you can give the throne of the Holy Dragon Empire up,”Alyssa said after a moment of hesitation. She then bit her pink lips, nervously waiting for Rocky'sanswer.

"Well, if that's your request, I'm sorry, but I can't promise you anything now," he said with a frown. Ifhe defeated Alston, he would definitely become the heir of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire.It was only natural that he would sit on the throne one day. He didn't understand why Alyssa askedhim to give up the throne, but he didn't ask. Just like he knew that she must have her own reasons,he also knew that she wouldn't tell him now. Alyssa obviously only wanted him to agree to herrequest with no question asked. Although he didn't want to turn her down outright, his answer wasactually already very clear.

"It's not too late to think about it after you have your revenge. I know that the chance of youagreeing to my request is very small, but I still have to ask.” Alyssa understood very well that Rockywas most likely going to refuse, but she still wanted to try because once Rocky became the emperorof the Holy Dragon Empire, they would probably end up as eternal enemies. Moreover, her onlyhope to solve the curse placed on her would be lost.

"Have you decided whom you're going to send to inform Marcia?” Rocky changed the subject. Heplanned to stay in Woods’ mansion and leave for the Holy Dragon Empire immediately after all thematters here were settled.

"Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to send Laney. After that, she'll stay in the Holy DragonEmpire and work for you. Although Laney isn't a spirit manipulator, she's someone who's stayed bymy side for years, and she's also very good at collecting information. I believe that her ability willcome in handy soon. Furthermore, if there's ever the need to, you can also contact me through her."Alyssa had planned this for a long time. Of course, she also had another purpose for sending Laneyto Rocky's side. She wanted to keep an eye on every move he made in the future so that she couldmake corresponding actions whenever she had to.

"Is this a surprise gift for me?" Rocky asked with a smile. He was really surprised that Alyssa waswilling to give Laney to him.

"No surprise, just a gift," Alyssa replied. The gaze she used to look at Rocky seemed to contain someinexplicable emotions.

"Then I have to thank you for your kindness. However, my guts tell me that Marcia won't believe thenews Laney brings her.” Rocky gave the matter some thoughts. A moment later, he pulled theFrozen Wind Dagger out of its sheath and handed the sheath to Alyssa. "Give this to Laney. Thisdagger was a gift from Marcia. I think she'll believe Laney when she sees this sheath.”

Alyssa accepted the sheath. Without any other word, she turned into a shadow and disappearedinto the dark night.

In the following few days, while waiting for news from Alyssa, Rocky focused on his geneexperiments, the last stage of refining the spiritual crystal, and the taming of the Fire Rock Turtle.Inside Marcia's mansion in the Holy Dragon Empire.

Marcia was working in her study. She'd been busy with reports about the war and other militaryactivities from the borders where the Rime Army and the troops of other countries resided."General, there is a woman outside requesting an audience. She said she has something importantto say to you in person!" a female guard reported loudly from outside the study. The sheer volumeof the guard's voice distracted her from her work.

"Did she report her name?" Marcia asked without even looking up from the documents. But thedisturbance made her brows a little wrinkled. Because of the position she had in the Holy DragonEmpire, there were always people wanting to see her for various reasons, so she was already used tothis kind of thing. She usually ignored them. However, most of the people who wanted to see herwere men, so she was a little curious to hear that a woman wanted to meet her.

"She said that her name was Laney and that she came from the Timber Deity Empire,” answered thefemale guard.

Marcia was puzzled. She felt that the name sounded rather familiar, but she was certain that shenever met a woman named Laney before. Thus, she started racking her brain, trying to rememberwhen and where she heard it. The moment she remembered, she was completely shocked. Laneywas the name of the outstanding spy Alyssa planted in Evian City back then! She had heard abouther when she and Lance discussed how to deal with Alyssa.

"Is that her? But why is she here, in the Imperial City of the Holy Dragon Empire? Or could it be thatit's just another woman with the same name? But she also said that she came from the Timber DeityEmpire,” Marcia murmured. Her curiosity was piqued. After thinking for a while, she ordered, "Bringher to me.”

The female guard outside the study immediately left to carry out her order.

Before long, the female guard came back along with a graceful figure and stopped in front ofMarcia's study.

"General, she's here,” the female guard reported.

"Let her in. You may leave now." Marcia stood up and walked out from behind the desk.

Almost at the same time, the delicate figure also entered the study and thus almost crashed intoMarcia who was going to walk out.

The woman was nobody else but Laney, who'd come to see Marcia according to Alyssa’s order."Greetings to General Marcia. I've long heard of your name. It's a great honor to see you in person,”Laney saluted gracefully.

"Cut the crap. Did Alyssa send you here? What are you up to?" Marcia questioned coldly.

"General Marcia is really sharp. It was indeed Her Royal Highness who sent me here." Laney, whosaw how straightforward Marcia was, immediately nodded.

"Why did she send you to me? What's she up to?" Marcia was well aware that Alyssa must have agood reason to send Laney here, and that reason was unlikely to be offering an olive branch to her.After all, Alyssa was considered a great enemy of the Holy Dragon Empire. The war at the GehennaBorder originally occurred because of her provocation. Now that Alyssa was doing such a weirdthing as sending Laney, who used to be a spy in Evian City, to meet her in broad daylight, shenaturally had to be careful. She also had to think of their purpose, but she obviously couldn't figureit out in such a short time.

This wasn't the first time that Alyssa had broken into their capital. Last time, she showed up at Basil'sfuneral ceremony, and it really pissed all of them off, but at least there was still a valid reason for herto do what she did. Now, what did she send Laney to her for?

"Her Royal Highness sent me here to bring news to General Marcia. Her Royal Highness told me thatGeneral Marcia will be more than happy when she hears it. However, Her Royal Highness alsoinstructed me to keep you in suspense as long as I can. It can be regarded as our revenge toGeneral Marcia for snatching away the treasure box," Laney explained bluntly to dispel Marcia'sdoubts.

"Is that so? What if I refuse to hear the news? I'm rather busy to accompany you to play games. AndI doubt the news Alyssa brings me will be worthwhile. It feels more like a trick to me. I'm almost sureI want to hear it. By the way, did she send you here because she thought I won't do anything to youjust because you're delicate and aren't a spirit manipulator? You know... she's wrong. I've nevershown mercy to my enemies!” Marcia said with a cold smile. She walked towards Laney in a calmand powerful manner. Her whole body seemed to emit a kind of oppressive feeling that could makeLaney shudder all over.
