Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1726 Pretend To Become Enemies

"Damn it! This is exactly what I was worried about! That girl really annoys me to the extreme!" Rockycould not help but let out a bitter smile. Right after they returned from the Nether Fire Land, he wasalready worried that Gloria might begin to take action. It turned out that it was even sooner than heexpected.

Since he knew that Gilbert would not be able to deal with the leader of the Genie Fief by himself, hedeemed that he would have to make a move eventually.

Soon enough, he arrived at the conference hall where Gilbert and the others were currently in themiddle of a discussion.

After Rocky entered the hall, his eyes immediately met Adrian's.

Since Adrian was a master at the Shura Realm, Rocky was not surprised that his aura was sooverwhelming. However, he was still able to maintain his composure in front of Arian. In fact, Adrianwas impressed that Rocky did not show any hint of fear or panic as their eyes locked for a moment."You must be the leader of the Genie Fief. Nice to meet you, sir. I've heard a lot of things aboutyou!" Rocky greeted with a big smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Godly Genius Odin,” Adrian responded as he looked at Rocky from head totoe.

"So, now that the Godly Genius of your Ghost Fief is already here, we might as well get straight tothe point, right? Gilbert, do you mind?" Adrian knew that Gilbert asked Rocky to appear in thediscussion just to let him make the decision himself.

Hearing this, Gilbert glanced at Rocky to give him a hint. After all, everything that would happennext depended on what Rocky would decide upon.

"Well, I've just heard that your daughter wants to marry me. I must say that I feel so lucky. I did notexpect that Miss Gloria is so fond of me!" Rocky said pretentiously.

"Yes, you are! So, I expect that you will have no objection to it," Gloria replied as she gave Rocky aflirtatious look.

Her charm was so intoxicating that even the officials could not help but swallow hard.

"Gloria, you are still a girl. You should be more reserved..." Adrian quickly reminded her daughter.

"I don't think there's something wrong with it. I like him, so I want to marry him. I just want to getstraight to the point!” Gloria uttered as if she was a spoiled child.

Seeing her behavior, the elders and officials present were rendered speechless. For an unmarriedyoung woman, they thought that Gloria was too bold. She even expressed her love without anyreluctance. They could not help but think that she was the complete opposite of Valeria.

At the same time, Rocky was also taken aback. He didn't know how to react because Gloria hadreally put him in a tight spot.

"Well, you heard what my daughter said. So, why don't we agree and settle on the marriage?”Adrian said as he turned to Rocky.

"Actually, if the circumstances were normal, I will not object to it. However, you know that I wasoriginally engaged to the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief. So, I don't think I can accept a secondmarriage.” Rocky tried to refuse politely.

"Yes, we know that. But don't forget that there are three names in the engagement covenant. Itmeans that officially, my daughter is your fiancee too. Therefore, I don't think there's a problem ifyou two get married. Moreover, Gloria and I already talked about it. She said that she would notmind if Valeria and she shared a husband. However, if Valeria has any objection to this setup, thenshe can cancel her engagement with you. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I already made upmy mind to let my daughter marry you," Adrian said resolutely the moment Rocky refused.

Gilbert was actually shocked that Adrian had such an unyielding attitude regarding his owndaughter's marriage. It seemed that he had really set his eyes on the Ghost Fief this time.

"Ha-ha!" Out of nowhere, Rocky burst into laughter as he put his palm on his face

Everyone was surprised at Rocky's sudden outburst because they didn't know what was going on inhis mind.

"Well, it seems that I don't have the choice to disagree this time. In that case, fine, let's do it," Rockysaid with a shrug.

Hearing this, Gilbert and the elders of the Ghost Fief were utterly shocked. If Rocky would agree tothis marriage, then they would have a lot of explaining to do with the Flower Fief. Of course, theywould be in greater trouble.

"However, I have one condition. If you want this marriage to happen, you need to agree to it first,"Rocky said to Adrian as his expression suddenly became serious.

"Condition? What is it?" Adrian asked as his eyes narrowed.

"Well, it's actually quite simple. Once I married Gloria, she must cut off all her ties with the GenieFief."

As Rocky finished his sentence, Adrian was utterly stunned. He did not expect that Rocky wouldsuddenly make such an unreasonable request. Of course, there was no way that they would agree toit. Gloria was the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief. If she would cut all ties with her fief, they wouldlose their Godly Genius.

"I don't get it. What is the purpose of your request?" Adrian asked as he furrowed his brows.

"She said so herself. Gloria wanted to marry me because she loves me. Her intention does not haveanything to with the battle of the Godly Geniuses or the fight for power. Hence, in order to protectherself, she should cut off her ties with the Genie Fief right after we get married. That should not bea problem since she likes me and not my identity, right?" Rocky responded with a sly smile.

After he heard everything, Adrian was at a loss for words. He did not expect that Rocky would be sobrilliant so as to use their words to his advantage.

Even Gloria could not help but frown. She realized that she had underestimated Rocky's wit.

On the other hand, Gilbert and the elders instantly showed a look of admiration towards their GodlyGenius. They were actually dumbfounded that Rocky was able to turn the tables in the midst of sucha huge dilemma.

"If you can agree to that, then I can marry Gloria as soon as possible,” Rocky added.

"I see..." Of course, Adrian had no intention of agreeing to those terms. However, he also couldn'tsuddenly change their statement and say that what they really wanted was to form an alliance.

"I don't expect you to answer right away. I know that it's a big deal so you may want to think aboutit first. Anyway, since you came all the way here, we shall do our best to accommodate you. I guessit won't be a problem if you stayed at the leader's mansion for a few days while you consider thismatter carefully,” Rocky said as he glanced at Gilbert.

"That would be great..." Adrian answered flatly. Of course, Adrian did not intend to return to theirfief without achieving their goal. Since Rocky offered that they could stay, they immediatelygrabbed it. They would also utilize this time to think of a solution to Rocky's unexpected demand."Guards, please escort the leader and the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief to the guest hall so thatthey can rest," Gilbert ordered.

Soon enough, Adrian and Gloria left with the guards.

"Sir, I also want to talk to you. Just the two of us." Rocky immediately approached Gilbert as soon asAdrian and Gloria were already out of sight.

Gilbert nodded and also asked the elders and officials to go back.

"I must admit that I was really impressed with your quick-thinking,” Gilbert praised Rocky with asmile.

"Well, I'm afraid that it could just buy us some time. I know that Leader Adrian would not give upthat easily,” Rocky replied as he shook his head.

"Yes, I know. So, do you have any idea about what we should do next?" Gilbert asked.

"It's obvious that Leader Adrian won't agree to my demand. However, if we still insist on what Iwant, they might use that as an excuse to go against us. That will be bad for us since we're going tohave one more powerful enemy.” Rocky was well-aware that if they could not handle thenegotiations with the Genie Fief properly, they would surely make trouble for them afterward.

"You are right. That is exactly what I am worried about,” Gilbert said as he nodded.

"But maybe, we can also use that to our advantage..." Rocky gave a devious smile after thinking fora while.

"What do you mean?" Gilbert asked in confusion.

"We can pretend that our fief and the Genie Fief got into a dispute, but we will actually be allies withthem in secret,” Rocky boldly suggested.
