Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 798 No Intention Of Marrying Rookie
While the entire Xiao Clan was still bewildered, Rocky took the chance to calmly walk up to Raef.
At that moment, Raef had just come back to his senses. With a face full of dread, he shot a glance atTravis, and soon after, asked someone to help Travis get up from the ground. Bowing into Rocky'spresence, he said, "I sincerely apologize for what my son has done to you. Please forgive me, Mr.Rookie. I am at fault, for I did not discipline him well. I will teach him a lesson after this."
"No, don't sweat it. I did not take any offense at what he did,” Rocky said calmly as he avoidedmeeting Travis’ eyes.
Rocky's cold and merciless words struck hard, like a hard slap on Raef's face. Not knowing how torespond to the situation, Raef just let out a bitter laugh and continued to suffer in silence.Meanwhile, the members of the Xiao Clan could not help but look at Rocky in a bizarre manner. Infact, they were quite surprised at how the man in front of them was acting. Rocky did not look like aservant who had done odd jobs and errands for the Magical Beast House. Instead, what they saw infront of them was a man with valor and power, like someone who was in a high position.
"Father..." Juey walked up and called Raef, but her expression was still as cold as ice.
"Why didn't you tell me that you and Mr. Rookie went out together? I got so worried that I haveeven dispatched all the disciples of the Xiao Clan to look for you. I'm worried about you, my deardaughter. I don't know what to say to your dead mother if something happened to you," acting likea good father, Raef spoke earnestly and patiently as soon as Juey stepped in front of him.
Juey could not believe what she had just heard from her father's mouth. 'Is he concerned about me?Someone must have woken up on the good side of the bed!" Juey thought. From the day she wasborn, her father had always shown indifference to her. Seeing her father's concern, it seemed thatthis was way beyond what she was used to.
But Juey was not a fool. In fact, when she noticed that her father could not keep his eyes off Rocky,she knew that her father might have thought that she had a special relationship with him. Actinglike a good father was only a trick that he wanted to show Rocky.
"Father, if you think that I can persuade Mr. Rookie into attending the Beast Master Contest onbehalf of the Xiao Clan, then it's a complete misunderstanding. Mr. Rookie won't listen to me. Don'tbother doing this father-cares-for-his-daughter kind of thing. I know it's just an act,” Juey expressedher thoughts frankly and straightforwardly.
"Daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares. Look at you, speaking up for Mr. Rookie! You'veonly met him for a short time! How could I not know my own daughter? You're my girl, and I'venever seen you let men get in your room except for Mr. Rookie. At this point, I sense that you haveaffection for him. Don't be shy. I know that you've grown up, and it's time for you to considergetting married.” It seemed that Raef ignored Juey's words.
"Father..." Juey was a little embarrassed to see Raef's reaction about her thoughts. After all, shethought that she had already made herself clear about what she thought about Rookie.
Of course, Raef understood his daughter. But What Juey thought didn't matter to him. Instead, itappeared what mattered was Rocky's thought. If Rocky had a crush on Juey, then Raef would behappy to make use of the favorable situation without making extra effort.
"Chief Raef, get straight to the point. Don't beat around the bush." At that point, Rocky understoodwhat Raef was trying to say and didn't want to waste time.
"Okay, then I will make it clear for you. From this point on, I will entrust Juey's life to you if you'dlike. You have my blessing. Well, if you marry Juey, that will mean that you will be a member of theXiao Clan. When that happens, it will be your sworn duty to contribute to the clan.” At that moment,it appeared that Raef had already made a concrete plan to use his daughter to seduce Rocky intorepresenting the Xiao Clan.
As it turned out, Raef was completely naive about the whole situation. He didn't know that Rockywas not the kind of guy who yearned for beautiful women. After all, Rocky had already seen more oflife that he didn't replace Juey very attractive. If Raef wanted to give Juey to Rocky, then he was justshowing excessive passion to a cold person.
After hearing Raef's words, Rocky turned his gaze to Juey. With a dejected face, she felt nothing butsadness as she lowered her head. Seeing this, Rocky felt nothing but sympathy towards her. Afterall, everyone would sympathize with someone who had a father willing to sell his own daughter justfor his own selfish gain. At that moment, Raef was nothing but a pathetic asshole.
"Chief Raef, I see that you can't wait for your daughter to get married. I'm so sorry to disappointyou, but I only see Juey as my little sister,” Rocky refused, with a poker face.
Hearing the rejection, Raef looked as pale as snow, like he was about to cry at any second
"Well, Mr. Rookie, how on earth will you attend the Beast Master Contest on behalf of our clan?”Mary, who had been silent all the time, asked in a flirtatious manner.
"If I say that I have a crush on Miss Mary, will you marry her to me, Chief Raef?" asked Rocky, as helooked at Mary teasingly.
Raef was stunned as he looked at Mary with big eyes. Of course, he didn't want to marry her off.After all, he still wanted Mary to inherit the position of the Xiao Clan chief unless she could marrysomeone from another big clan. Otherwise, he could only accept the situation if the two would livewith Mary's father. Since Raef thought that Rookie was a mere nobody, then it was most likely thathe wouldn't agree to that. However, if he refused him flatly, then Rookie would surely get annoyed.This, in turn, would surely drive him away and cause the Xiao Clan a big loss—not to mention theclan's future prosperity.
"Chief Raef, so now you are reluctant to give me your second daughter?" Rocky said with a sneer."Father..." At this point, Mary was also worried that her father would agree with Rookie. She dislikedthe idea of marrying Rookie. Moreover, she would rather be an old maid than be married off to him."If Mary agrees to that, then I have no reason to stop her. Therefore, let's respect my daughter'sdecision on the matter...” What Raef really meant was that he could do nothing to stop Mary even ifshe rejected the proposal.
"Marry him? How could it be possible..." Feeling relieved, Mary was delighted to get her father's will.Soon after, she gazed at Rocky with defiance.
"Miss Mary, don't get me wrong. I'm just kidding around. In fact, I'd rather marry a sow than marryyou," said Rocky sardonically.
Hearing how Rocky mocked her, Mary could not help but turn red as she clenched her fists in anger.On the other hand, the Xiao Clan members all laughed out loud upon hearing that Rocky comparedMary to a sow.
Raef felt embarrassed, too, although he knew that Rocky was just playing with him. But he chose notto provoke him as if he was Buddha. At that moment, he had no choice but to see him behaveatrociously in his own mansion.
"Well, let me be straight with you. If you want me to go and meet the Cao Clan, okay, I'll do it. Butthere's a catch—I would have to require you to do two things for me," Rocky said seriously, with anunkind look in his eyes.
"Please go ahead, Mr. Rookie. I'm all ears." Seeing that Rocky suddenly gave away, Raef's face lit up.He leaned forward as he was eager to know what Rocky wanted him to do.
"First off, you need to give me ninth grade code of the Holy Life Saving Hand," Rocky suggested.Back when he taught Juey the Beast Curing Skill, he had done some research on the Holy Life SavingHand. He found out that this skill was an excellent kind of Beast Curing Skill. Moreover, it wassuitable enough for the treatment of spirit-manipulated beasts after surgery, relieving the pain andimproving blood circulation.
Raef was stunned upon hearing Rocky's first demand. He never thought that this Rookie would beinterested in their clan's ancestral Beast Curing Skill, even devising a plan for it. However, this HolyLife Saving Hand was the Xiao Clan's hereditary treasure. Moreover, passing the skill was limited tothe inner members of the Xiao Clan as part of their tradition.
