Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 672 An Urgent Task (Part Two)

"It seems necessary to send someone to keep an eye on Blood Lord Leo and monitor his everymovement. He has to be prevented from messing up again,” Alyssa suggested after thinking for awhile.

"Then who do you suggest we send? Blood Lord Leo is a master at the Supernal Stage. Ordinaryspirit manipulators are no match for him and are not the right people for the job,” Woods said. Hecouldn't figure out who could be sent to watch over Blood Lord Leo.

"Of course, you are right about ordinary spirit manipulators,” said Alyssa. "They are not the rightpeople for the job. But you seem to forget something very important. It seems you underestimatethe power of women and how easily they can bring down a great man." She then paused for amoment. Just enough to let that sink in. Then nodding with satisfaction, she added, "It should be acinch. Let's replace a girl within our ranks. A slick girl, clever enough to play Leo like a fiddle, and havehim do whatever she wants." From the look on her face, you could tell she already had a suitablecandidate in mind.

"Are you thinking of letting Laney go and have a try?" Woods — Alyssa's brother, alongside whomshe had fought for a long time, immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"You got it spot-on. If you need someone to play hooker, look no further. Laney is the real deal,”Alyssa enthused.

However, Woods was doubtful and did not seem to agree with Alyssa. He voiced out his thoughts."I'm afraid it might be a dangerous idea for us to do this. Leo might not be as gullible and easy todeal with as we think. What if Laney's cover is blown, and Leo learns of what we have beenscheming. You can imagine his anger and disappointment with us. That will mean the end of trustbetween him and us. Such a fallout is not something you would wish for, I guess. Of course, I amnot doubting Laney's abilities. I believe in her, but after her mission to kill Rocky failed for thesecond time, I have a feeling that there is something wrong with her." Since Laney's return to thecamp, Woods had talked to her several times. Somehow, he had a feeling, she looked a bit rusty —a far cry from her usual self. In a way, she seemed different, even though she had not done anythingparticularly. Only that Woods could not put a name to what was wrong with her, nor could he replaceany evidence to support his suspicions.

Although Woods was vocal in expressing his concerns, Alyssa still believed Laney was the bestcandidate for the job. She tried to convince Woods. "Laney knows how to maneuver her waythrough tough situations, once she has her eyes set on something. Trust me, she may have suffereda small setback, but that only serves a motivation for her next role. I'm pretty sure, she's yearning foranother chance to prove herself. Among my former students, she is someone I know well enough.She may not be a spirit manipulator, but once she has her sights trained on a goal, she is capable ofwhat we might never achieve with a thousand soldiers. Let us trust her on this and see if she canpull off something. I'm pretty confident about her. Of course, Rocky was just lucky to survive. ButLeo may not be that fortunate. You can bet on her to go in there and rip the jackass apart! Anyway,what we need at the moment is not to finish Leo off. But we ought to make sure that from now on,he will only do according to our wishes. We cannot afford any of his blunders anymore," Alyssa saidcoldly. Indeed, she was so dissatisfied with Leo's conduct in the battle with Rocky. She just couldn'tget over it yet.

Having made up her mind, Alyssa sent someone to summon Laney.

Not long after, Laney, slim and graceful as usual, walked into the camp.

At once, anyone could tell she was a good bet for the task. Her black hair set in a bob with one sidetucked in. With a relaxed, casual look, she walked in with her head held high. A certain rhythm tothe clicking of her heels, she waltzed on with a graceful, effortless saunter, her curves, andtenderness showing with each step she took. Slightly, the corners of her lips lifted, curving into anenchanting smile. Like bright orbs of fire, her eyes glowed with warmth. Looking into those eyes,you could see into her soul—a soul so deep and pure like a pool of gold. The sparkle of innocenceand natural beauty made her an irresistible queen— the kind of a girl that could melt a man’s hearteven before she spoke. For such a girl, a man would fly to space, just to write her name on themoon and come back. As she watched Laney walk in, even Alyssa wondered how on earth Rockyhad not given in to the girl's seduction.

"Your Royal Highness." Laney bowed to Woods and Alyssa in deference.

"I have an urgent task for you to complete immediately.” Alyssa went straight to the point."Whatever you want ma'am, I'm all here at your service!" Laney promised politely, her beautiful eyesfixed on Alyssa in respect.

"The Blood Lord Leo of the Roaring Flame Empire disobeyed me and failed to execute my plan ofattack. Unfortunately, Rocky caught him napping and inflicted heavy losses on the whole army.” Themere mention of Rocky's name stung at Alyssa’s heart, reigniting the fire that had always burnedinside of her. It was like adding gasoline to hot coals. Her fists began to clench. A fit of rage grippedher heart so viciously that in a moment, even her knuckles turned white from clenching. Right thereand then, she promised herself she'd replace that prick, no matter what it took. And if she got hold ofhim, she'd make him pay a dear price. She felt she could rip him to pieces, yanking off pieces offlesh with her bare hands as if they were the powerful claws of a beast.

However, since the last battle in the desolate village, she hadn't figured out what Moon Fox meantby saying that. She had tried to get more information from the beast but to no avail, whichbothered her so much. To win the battle against the Holy Dragon Empire, they had to get rid ofRocky— their most stubborn obstacle. He was no doubt a source of concern in their quest forvictory. If they could get rid of him, his death would also put paid to all other threats, once and forall. Yet, strangely, Moon Fox warned her not to harm Rocky in any way. And it bothered her whatwould happen if she ignored Moon Fox. She was unsure of what to do for the next couple of days.
