Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1021 The Purpose of Laney's Visit

Meanwhile, at Marcia's mansion of the Holy Dragon Empire, the henchman sent by Marcia two daysago had just returned. In the study, he carefully handed over a small and delicate box that hebrought back from the Ji Clan to Marcia.

"You must be tired. Go and get some rest first,” Marcia ordered in a concerned voice.

Right after she saw the henchman close the door behind him, she picked up the delicate box andmeticulously opened it slowly. As soon as she opened it, she took a closer look at what was inside.Out of the blue, her body began to tremble upon recognizing what was inside. At that moment, allshe could show was a myriad of complex expressions. Soon after, a crystal tear suddenly fell fromthe corner of her eyes

"He's really not dead. I can't believe it... Really not dead...” Marcia murmured to herself in disbelief.At that moment, all that gave her hope were Laney's words and the evidence in the box that shewas holding.

The object she was holding was exactly the Dragon Twined Wood to seal the evil power of the HolyDragon Bead in Rocky's body back then. Due to the close connection of the Dragon Twined Woodwith the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead in Rocky's body, the Dragon Twined Wood wouldchange no matter how far away it was from Rocky as long as the evil power had any change. Theopposite could only happen if Rocky died.

However, at that moment, the crack on the Dragon Twined Wood inside the box appeared to bedeeper than before. This was an indication that Rocky had least removed the fourth layer of the sealin his body. This also indicated that the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead was still changing,which could be positive proof that he was still alive.

In fact, Marcia had a chance to replace out the truth before. But after learning that Rocky had alreadydied, Sabina put away the Dragon Twined Wood as a souvenir. She didn't ask Sabina for it, makingher miss the opportunity to replace out the truth about Rocky's death.

But now that Marcia saw with her own eyes that the Dragon Twined Wood was still changing, shewas now sure that what Laney had said before was true—Rocky was not dead.

As a result, Marcia immediately ordered someone to call Laney to the study.

"General Marcia, it appears that you now have the proof. Now, you know that I was telling the truthabout Mr. Rookie being alive." As Laney entered the study, she saw Marcia's bright and beautifulface. At that moment, she could tell that Marcia believed her now.

"I'm not sure yet, though. After all, Sabina saw Basil disappear in front of her. Did Alyssa trick us? Infact, she had imprisoned Basil secretly. Then, she came to worship him at his death ceremony onlyto check if we suspect that Basil is still alive. But if so, why did she send you to tell me the truthabout Basil?" Marcia asked seriously in an attempt to hide her excitement. Of course, she wanted toreplace out the truth and make sure that Rocky was indeed alive. Moreover, what she couldn't reallyfigure out was that if Alyssa tried her best to hide the truth about Rocky, then why did she sendLaney to tell her now?

"General Marcia, you are asking me too many questions. Give me some time to answer them all.Well, let me start with what I know.” At that moment, Laney seemed to have been prepared toanswer the questions beforehand. Without hesitation, she told the general what Rocky hadexperienced in the Timber Deity Empire these days. Of course, she didn't spill any of the empire'ssecrets.

After hearing the whole story, Marcia immediately realized everything. She then asked, "So, doesthis mean that you didn't know that he was still alive before, and you just found about that later?""Exactly. In fact, when the princess and Prince Woods knew that Mr. Rookie was still alive, they hadthe exact same reaction as you. They also found it hard to believe...” Laney said with sincerity in hervoice.

"Even if what you said is true, why isn't he returning to the Holy Dragon Empire? More importantly,why is he staying in the Timber Deity Empire?" On second thought, Marcia found that instead ofbeing imprisoned by Alyssa, Rocky had been free to go anywhere he wanted to and even made asplash in the Timber Deity Empire. Therefore, Marcia was also confused about why Rocky chose tostay in the Timber Deity Empire than returning to the Holy Dragon Empire. Of course, she alsosuspected that Laney might have been hiding pieces of information from her.

"That's the key. The reason why he didn't return to the Holy Dragon Empire was that he and PrinceWoods were attacked by a group of mysterious people. And I'm sure you didn't expect that theperson who attacked them was actually a member of your empire. A big shot, in fact..." Laneyhinted. She knew that with the general's intelligence, she should be able to guess who wasresponsible for the attack.

"Did Alston do this?" Marcia didn't want to guess, but according to her investigation after Rocky'sdeath, she once suspected that his death might have something to do with Alston. Unfortunately,she had no evidence to prove that. What Laney just said confirmed that her suspicion could be true."General Marcia, what you just said is true. Alston was behind this. The reason why Mr. Rookie didn'tcome back was due to Alston. Back then, in order to deal with Mr. Rookie, Alston used a girl whomMr. Rookie regarded as his sister, to force him to kill Prince Woods. But Mr. Rookie didn't let Alstonuse him, so he pretended to kill Prince Woods to save the prince. But in the end, Alston killed thatgirl. In fact, Mr. Rookie was so angry that he almost died in a fierce battle with Alston. Butafterwards, it was like magic. Truth was that he didn't die, and nobody knew how it happenedSomehow, he even appeared in the Timber Deity Empire..." Laney said with her eyes narrowed."Alston..." Marcia mumbled under her breath. She became so furious that she clenched her fiststightly. If Alston hadn't gone to the Dragon Master Clan, then she might have rushed to the PalaceCity and confronted him face to face at that moment.

Seeing that the general was so angry, Laney was also a little bit surprised. That was because, at thatmoment, she saw how much Marcia cared about Rocky.

"But why did Alyssa help him? He is the prince of our empire. What good will it do to her to help anenemy? Don't you replace that odd?" Meanwhile, Marcia was puzzled. What Alyssa did was obviouslyagainst common sense, and it was hard to believe that the princess of the Timber Deity Empire washelping the prince of the Holy Dragon Empire and even helping him hide his identity. Spreading thisinformation would cause a great uproar in the two empires and even the entire Wild Spirit Land.

"I don't know about that. The princess said that even if Mr. Rookie returned to the Holy DragonEmpire, and told his father that Alston framed him, there's a huge possibility that his father mightnot believe it. After all, no one would believe that the emperor's successor would try every means tokill his brother. And with Alston's brutal and sinister attitude, he would definitely never let Mr.Rookie off the hook once his plots were all exposed. With Mr. Rookie's current power in the HolyDragon Empire, it is obvious that he is not strong enough to fight against Alston yet. Therefore, ourprincess hoped that you could arrange everything for him before he returned to the Holy DragonEmpire. In her opinion, the only person who could pose a threat to him now was his wife and theirunborn child. Mr. Rookie would come back at ease as long as the two can be handled well. And thatis the reason why Princess Alyssa sent me here." Laney relayed Alyssa's words to the general.
