Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 611 Spare No Pains
"I will talk to Isis. She is your responsibility now and I can't think of any reason as to why you shoulddecline. After all, you have slept with her already. I don't care if you only did it to save her. Youcannot escape from your responsibilities with her. This is about Isis’ future. Since she has lost hervirginity, it is impossible for her to get married to others. I don't think she'll ever be happy withanyone else, anyway. I just want a good life for her,” Lance said sternly.
Rocky's brows furrowed. He knew that virginity mattered to women, but it shouldn't matter at thisstage. He already felt guilty about what happened, but marrying Isis would've been an extremething to do.
"You should be grateful I'm letting you marry Isis. Who else in the entire empire can compare toher?" Lance sounded proud.
"Do I have a choice in this decision?" Rocky asked, narrowing his eyes. He could tell that Lance wasvery determined. Yet, even with Lance's explanation, Rocky felt uneasy. There was still somethingstrange about the sudden responsibility dropped on him.
"No, you don't,” Lance said.
"What if I don't marry her?" Rocky inquired.
"Then I would have no choice but to ensure that this world carries no memory of what happened toher. That means never letting anyone know of this and getting rid of your existence.” At that point,Lance sounded angry.
"Is that a threat? It seems that if I don't agree, you might not let me leave here today.” Rocky knewwhat Lance was trying to do. First, he tried to make him work for the Crimson Dragon Group, whichRocky said no to. Now, if Rocky married Isis, he would still be a member of the group. This wasmainly just a ploy to make him stay.
"I am not threatening you. I just want to make sure you understand the repercussions. It's not badfor you to marry Isis, and it can even bring benefit to you. If you marry her, you will have the wholeCrimson Dragon Group as your backer, and with your extraordinary talent, you will soon make agreat achievement. Is there anything better than this in the world?" Lance stated with the anger inhis voice slowly dissipating.
If Rocky was being honest, Lance's words tempted him. The thought of the whole Crimson DragonGroup backing him up was compelling enough. With such an army, he could attack the wholeImperial City and get back everything that belonged to him.
However, marrying Isis would also mean having to deal with Lena's wrath. He wouldn't know how totell her and, in fact, just the thought of her already made him feel guilty. He did not have realfeelings for Isis. He didn't dislike nor like her. The marriage for him, if ever, would have beentransactional. His main goal was to get the support of the Crimson Dragon Group. In other words,he would just be taking advantage of Isis.
Even if Rocky tried to be at his most selfish, he could not replace it in him to just take advantage of Isislike that.
Lance stared at Rocky and knew he was winning. He smiled as he could tell Rocky was genuinelythinking about it. After all, no man with ambition could resist such a temptation of power.
What Rocky did not know yet was that Isis had feelings for him. Lance just preferred framing thearrangement in a way that would feel more advantageous to him when, in fact, he was trying to givehis daughter her happiness. He knew that Rocky was responsible enough, anyway. He would nevermistreat Isis.
Feeling satisfied at the sight of Rocky's contemplative face, Lance said, "I'll give you a few days tothink about it. I won't force you. But just think about it. All you have to do is to marry Isis and we'llboth get what we want.” Lance was confident he could hit two birds with one stone.
"You just want me to help the Crimson Dragon Group defeat the Timber Deity Empire, right?" Rockyguessed.
Lance chuckled. "Then I feel I no longer have to explain myself. Yes, I am hoping you can help theCrimson Dragon Army win this battle and regain our good reputation. And I want our army todefeat the Timber Deity Empire into absolute shreds. You are the perfect leader for the armybecause people in the Timber Deity Empire barely know anything about you." Lance was finallyhonest with his agenda.
"Are you sure about this? I'm just a nobody," Rocky said modestly.
Lance shook his head lightly. "If you are, why is a master at the Supernal Stage protecting you all thetime?" He wore a knowing look on his face.
Rocky felt his walls come up. He knew Lance was talking about Sabina.
"I'm certain there's something special about you and that you are just hiding it. But I'm not here topry about that. I just want you to help the Crimson Dragon Army win the war. Marry Isis and help uswin the war and I promise that you would have the Crimson Dragon Group at your service," Lancesaid. He seemed more committed now to giving everything to Rocky just to get his assistance."Commander in Chief, you really have your heart set on this. I understand you'd be verydisappointed if I do not consider this." Rocky was on the verge of giving in but he wanted to givehimself more time to think things through.
"I'll be fine. Just please, at the very least consider it." Lance felt satisfied that Rocky was lured.
"I will, but I need more time to think about it." Rocky got up to leave.
"I practically begged you," Lance murmured to himself. "You better agree to my request. We dependso much on you." Lance was very unsure about their chances in winning the war. But for now, hehad to talk to his daughter because there was still a chance that she wouldn't agree with themarriage. But even before that, he needed to get Rocky's commitment.
