Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 387 An Impudent Bird
Speaking of the devil, and Rocky showed up in a flutter of an eye. His showing up was undoubtedlya surprise for Lance and Commanders! It left them open-mouthed.
"Rocky, we were on the threshold of searching for you, and here you are..." Lance's eyes grew sharpwhen he got a glimpse of Rocky coming in. Although he was yet ill-humored for Rocky turningdown his promotion in public, being Commander in Chief of Crimson Dragon Group, he shouldkeep the overall interests of the country in mind and attempt not to hold Rocky accountable, sincethe situation was top priority now and Rocky was the best choice in his hour of demand. The nextthing was to determine if Rocky would work side by side with him.
"Commander in Chief, no need to give the low-down to me further. I have understood everythingabout the prevailing situation. But I have to state that I will not give your promotion a whirl as beinga Commander or General. I'd like to do you a favor. Before that, we have to be of the same opinionwith each other first. Even brothers desire to do accounts accurately. We shall lay out conditions. So,you make me aware of what I will get in compensation if I do you a favor..." Rocky said smartly as awhip. Before Lance uttered a word, Rocky stretched out his hand to stop him, putting on abargaining posture.
Lance didn't pursue to lay the liability on Rocky just now, but his face fell, seeing Rocky's philistine’sprofanity. A light of air rage shone from his eyes. No one considered as absolute that one of ThreeGreat Generals in Holy Dragon Empire was cocked a snook at! With a head of chilly perspiration,each of Commanders was beaming at Rocky and guessed he would get in a tight corner. Theyreckoned Rocky chose the improper time to negotiate with Commander in Chief and hoped to getsome advances from the war on this precarious occasion. How can he pluck up the tenacity tothreaten Lance, one of Three Great Generals!
If it weren't at this crucial moment, Lance would have already flown into a towering rage. It was asplain as a pikestaff that Rocky was out of conduct to show no high opinion for Commander in Chief.Lance would throw the books at him by striking him hundreds of times and sentence him intoprison for years if it was in other conditions. Lance was cudgeling his brains if Rocky would be sopresumptuous at that time.
This idea flashed across Lance's mind, and he became conscious he had many ways to inflict pain onRocky. However, the Crimson Dragon Army was driven to the last-ditch, and he had to identify themechanisms to retaliate the enemy at any price. Since Rocky had come to the aid of Rough Slope,Lance hoped he could lift them out of desperate straits this time. That was why Rocky could be soout of hand and presumptuous! Lance had to put up with Rocky's reaction at this moment becausehe should be responsible for his troops and soldiers. His assignment was to triumph over the waralong with his men.
If Rocky didn't have any useful plan, Lance would show no tender-heartedness on him and punishhim severely. Rocky was undeniably too presumptuous in front of him.
"What - on - earth - was - the - advantage - you - require?" Lance uttered the words one by one ina quite low voice. Obviously, he was keeping within bounds his air rage. His eyes were as sharp as adagger to Rocky. It showed as if Rocky had been executed by his eyes millions of times if eyes couldwipe out one,
"It depends on you. What advantages can you put forward? I am of the opinion that Commander inChief won't offer me a preliminary Dark Heaven Egg or red spiritual crystal. These are remarkablylow. Well, if you grant me treasures like middle Dark Heaven Egg or yellow spiritual crystal, I willfigure out how to save your skin." Rocky rubbed his chin as if he was thought-provoking somethingand giving it a burl to rip off Lance.
In Crimson Dragon Group, even in Holy Dragon Empire, three persons plucked up the courage toconverse with Lance like this, while Rocky was one of them.
Lance was sent into a frenzy that the blue veins on his forehead bulged out. His hand clenched intoa fist, and a dreadful light grew in his eyes. As if he was going to hold Rocky dead to bear aresemblance to stepping on an ant, in case Rocky demurred about his limits ever and again.Commanders were caught on the hop to give ear to what Rocky said. The preliminary Dark HeavenEgg and red spiritual crystal were rare treasures for them, not mention middle one and yellowspiritual crystal. But Rocky required the middle Dark Heaven Egg and red spiritual crystal directlywhich they never had the slightest idea. His audacious action was hard to swallow!
In a spit of a second, Conference Hall became bustle and noisy, and everyone commenced to puttheir heads together about and point at Rocky. They thought Rocky had no consciousness aboutdiscipline and organization by paying no heed to Commander in Chief and threatening him in life-and-death survival time.
"Rocky, I guess you have some plans since you have the temerity to ask for advantages. Why notgive the low-down to me your plan first. I will unquestionably give my word to give you benefits,”said Lance. He never thought Rocky would appeal to him for middle Dark Heaven Egg. Rocky wasmore audacious and enthusiastic than he had seen in the mind's eye. But Lance was in a blue funkthat what Rocky said was all empty talk and he changed his mind not to lend a helping hand tothem, or his plan failed after he got what he had a yen for. Lance wanted to make things crystalclear.
"If I tell you now, you will get my idea. I'm not a dumbbell. If you don't fulfil your assurance and eatyour words, how do I come into possession of my things? You're in charge here. If you eat yourwords, I will undergo a loss!" Rocky said calmly like the sleep of a soul that was blest with his armsacross his chest, shaking his head to Lance. He didn't imply to be persuaded by Lance.
"You..." Lance glowered at Rocky, smiting the table and rising to his feet. His trace of the DivineStage was released at once. A drone of sound was heard in the Conference Hall like thousands ofbee were flying. The Conference Hall seemed to collapse. Finally, Lance was hot under the collarwith a frenzy of resentment, and he couldn't bear him anymore!
Commanders were in a state of nerves in a flash.
"Commander in Chief, please calm down! Rocky was utterly good for nothing! I can't lower myself tohis level. Just take him away and mete out retribution to him according to military law!" Flank roseand conversed with Lance seriously with his hand arched. At the same time, he gave Rocky a bleakglance and mulled over, "You deserved this. Don't lay blame on me to hit you down when you aredown!’
"That's right, Commander in Chief. Don't have a conversation with him anymore. He made a fewcontributions and then became too pretentious. How can he have the audacity to ask theCommander in Chief for benefits? He is such a man of hubris!" a Commander echoed who wasgiven a drubbing by Rocky in Army Flag Contest.
Other Commanders were at a loss of words, but Rocky could tell the ill-temper in their eyes. Eventhe Elite Commander who mentioned Rocky just now was shaking his head, sighing. One with talentwas constantly with peculiar temper, which suggested to be a universal rule.
But Lance seemed to become apprehensive of something extraordinary from Rocky and was gettingan inkling that Rocky acted this deliberately. So Lance was pondering if Rocky had his own plan toact like this. He was doing this on purpose. What on earth would he intend to do?
After deliberate consideration, Lance responded, “Leave us alone. I'd like to teach him a lesson bymyself."
After a few seconds of halt, Commanders realized what their Commander in Chief would do andsniffed at Rocky. They reasoned Rocky asked for this because no one plucked up the courage toirritate Lance. This was an appalling thing, and everyone in the Hall bowed and left, except Rocky.Only Rocky and Lance were in the Hall now. Lance's face turned calm as the smoothest waters andasked Rocky in puzzlement, "Boy, what are you doing?"
"Commander in Chief, please don't be in high dudgeon. I have to act like this, just in case,” Rockysaid seriously, and his big-headedness had gone away.
"Just in case?" Lance said with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Don't you perceive something out of the common, Commander in Chief?" Rocky grinned from earto ear, and an elusive light grew in his eyes.
