Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 490 To Protect Rocky

At the same time, the spiritual power around Rocky surged sharply. Spiritual power in interlacingblack and red colors enveloped his body like raging flames, increasing his might.

Lance was also shocked when he saw the color of Rocky's spiritual power. He had never seen thiskind of spiritual power before. It was different from any other type of spiritual power—it wassuffused with Fire.

"You are a royal spirit manipulator?" Lance asked. Astonishment was etched on his face. Althoughhe didn't see the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's arm, his cultivation stage allowed him to perceivethat Rocky was a royal spirit manipulator.

Rocky raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Whether I am or not, does it matter? Now thatCommander in Chief wants to kill me, he shouldn't ask too many questions.”

"Young man, you're already at death's door, but you still have your nose in the air..." Lance wasquite riled by Rocky's arrogance. Had Rocky begged or explained to him humbly, he might'vehesitated. But Rocky's attitude was still so full of defiance and thus his anger burned even fiercer.Lance's stare towards Rocky sharpened. The strong spiritual power his body emitted suddenlyshrouded the whole tent. This made Rocky, Marin, and Sabina feel much more pressured.

Marin knew that Lance wanted to kill Rocky and that it was already too late to stop him now. She,however, didn't want to kill Rocky. She thought that it wouldn't be too late to make a decision afterher cousin woke up. Moreover, Rocky hadn't given them any explanation. It was as if he was facedwith some hard problems he couldn't tell others. Therefore, it was a little hard for her to judge hiscrime only by those two letters.

But once Lance made up his mind, no one could change it.

At this moment, Lance made a slight move, and in the next second, he already stood before Rocky.This scene didn't scare Rocky in the slightest. Even though he knew he wasn't a match for Lance, hewouldn't sit still and wait for his death.

Just as Lance was about to kill Rocky, a delicate figure suddenly appeared, surprising everyone. Itwas Sabina. The girl pulled Rocky back and confronted Lance. Obviously, her purpose was to stopLance.

"Sabina, what do you mean?" Lance shouted with a heavy voice. His eyebrows were raised becausehe found that Sabina had taken actions to protect Rocky on purpose.

Rocky was surprised too. He didn't expect that Sabina would come forward to protect him. Ofcourse, this wasn't the first time. But to have the guts to stop Lance without fear for his sake, Sabinawas definitely not someone simple.

"Commander in Chief, I'll be really bothered if you kill Rocky. As long as I am alive, I can't let you killhim," said Sabina as she stared at Lance coldly.

"Sabina, please get out of the way. No one can stop me from doing what I'm going to do—not evenyou," Lance said firmly. Apparently, he was determined to kill Rocky.

"To be honest, the reason I'm here at Gehenna Border is because I was ordered to protect Rocky. Ifyou kill him, my trip will be meaningless, and it'll be very difficult for me to..." Sabina replied calmly.She had wanted to say more but stopped on second thought. In any case, what she was implyingwas that she wouldn't let Lance kill Rocky.

Rocky was baffled to hear what Sabina said. Who on earth instructed her to protect him?

Her remarks also came as a surprise for Lance. Previously, he already had doubts regarding herpurpose of coming to Crimson Dragon Group, but it had never once crossed his mind that Sabinawas actually ordered to protect Rocky. In fact, Sabina wasn't just a famous lady in the Holy DragonEmpire. She was also the apprentice of Marcia, one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy DragonEmpire. Since Sabina was ordered to protect Rocky, the order was obviously made by either the JiClan or Marcia. Nevertheless, considering the bad relationship between Sabina and her family, it wasvery likely that Marcia was the one giving the order.

Once this thought crossed his mind, Lance's heart wavered. If Sabina was really following Marcia'sorder to protect Rocky, Rocky must be someone very important for Marcia. That could also meanthat he might be someone from the royal family, just like he had guessed before. If that was indeedthe case, if he killed Rocky and alerted both the royal family and Marcia, the consequences would beunimaginable.

Were it not for Sabina, Lance would've ignored Rocky's background and made a big mistake. Lance,of course, only lost his head in anger temporarily. He loved his daughter very much, so he could beover the top with his protective gestures. After being reminded by Sabina, however, he finallyregained his rationality. The strong aura from his body suddenly disappeared, and his killing intentalso subsided. He just kept sending death glares at Rocky, who stood behind Sabina.

Upon seeing what Lance acted, Sabina said coldly, "Of course, apart from killing Rocky, Commanderin Chief may do whatever he sees fit to deal with him. Considering the relationship between me andIsis, if Rocky has really done something that hurt her, I'll never let him get away. However, if wereally want to deal with him, I think we'd better wait until Isis wakes up. We don't know what exactlyhappened between him and Isis. Only when she wakes up can we know all the truth.”

"In addition, judging from the injuries on Silver Wind, it is obvious that it had a fierce battle withsome kind of masters. In other words, something else might have happened before we met Rockyand Isis, and it was what caused Silver Wind to be seriously injured.” After a pause, Sabina made abold guess.

Lance thought that what Sabina said made sense. He was impulsive just now, but he still thoughtthat Rocky was to blame for what had happened to his daughter.

"For the sake of you and your master, I will spare his life for the time being. Though he can bespared from death, he still has to be punished! Now, I am announcing the cancelation of Rocky'sduty as an Elite Commander. He is to be relegated to the logistics camp as a breeder, effectiveimmediately. Furthermore, Commander Marin, from now on, you should keep watch on Rocky. Hecannot leave the logistics camp even for half a step. He won't be convicted until Isis wakes up andwe know the truth,” Lance ordered grudgingly, all the while glaring at Rocky.

"Going back to the logistics camp? That's great... However, you'll definitely regret this!" Uponhearing what Lance said, Rocky sneered and cast a playful look at him. When he spoke, however, histone sounded firm.
