Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 824 Everyone Confused

The scene they were witnessing seemed to be too familiar for everyone. Not long ago, Rocky alsoshowed up in the same way as he did today.

However, the people knew something was different this time around. When everyone looked to thedirection where the booming sound came, the expression on their faces froze immediately.

"Who the fuck is..." cursed Tod. But as soon as he turned to the direction of the sound, his faceimmediately turned from green to dark, which was unbearable to see.

"Your Royal Highness..." The next moment, a loud scream broke out in the large hall for everyone tohear.

The man who showed up in time was Woods that rushed back to the Cao mansion. At this moment,Woods looked somewhat discomfited, with his clothes all scratched and dirty.

But at that moment, what concerned Woods was that the man's back in front of him was the one hesaw under the moonlight just a few hours ago.

"Who are you?" Woods asked Rocky whose back was facing him.

Everyone was confused when they heard what Woods said. They did not understand what Woodsmeant by his words.

At once, Rocky slowly came to his senses. As his senses came back, a faint smile appeared on his lipsbecause everything was going according to his plan.

Rocky's plan since the beginning was to set up a trap for Raef. His plan was to make the princedisappear in a disguise, and then return at the most critical moment. Rocky thought that Woods'return and appearance in the hall would surely make the whole event turn around.

Of course, the time Rocky was anticipating the most was when he showed his real identity toWoods. In fact, he was excited to see Woods' reaction after knowing that he was still alive!

As for why Rocky let Woods come back alone, it was also a part of the plan to test Woods. Rockyhad come to the capital in an attempt to look for Woods" assistance. Before that he needed to besure whether Woods could be trusted. After all, what he asked Woods to do for him would have agreat impact on him in the future, so he had to really make sure. That's why he intentionally madeWoods suspicious of his identity at first, but he also tantalized and asked Woods to return to theCao Clan when the time was right. He wanted to see first how important he was to Woods. If Woodsarrived at the Cao mansion as expected, it would mean that he still held an important position inWoods’ heart even if he had been regarded as "dead". Otherwise, Rocky knew that Woods was notworth his trust.

Of course, Rocky didn't come up with such a good plan that easily until he had calculated Woods*walking speed. However, the biggest part of the plan was still needed to be executed and finished.Rocky turned around slowly and stared at Woods directly in his eyes. Although there was not muchexpression on Rocky's face, his eyes were filled with a strong sense of teasing.

At this moment, Woods saw a familiar face that he never thought he would ever see again in ahundred years. He froze for a moment in astonishment, and his lips slightly parted with anunimaginable expression on his face. He then said in a trembling voice, "Ro..."

The expression on Woods' face just now made everyone stunned and confused. Woods didn'tbelieve that he was actually seeing Rocky alive, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

But that expression of shock was applicable to anyone who saw a man they thought had died hadsuddenly came back to life.

"How did Your Royal Highness know my initial? Did you hear of me from Chief Lucilla?” With a calmand teasing smile on his face, Rocky shook his head in response when he heard what Woods said.After being dumbfounded for a while, Woods seemed to understand what it meant. He coughed toclear his throat and asked, "Really? When I saw you turn around just now, you reminded me of afriend of mine who had already passed away. He had the same initial as you!"

"Really? Is that so? What an interesting coincidence!" Rocky replied surprisingly.

The sudden conversation between Woods and Rocky made everyone feel very confused.

However, everyone could obviously see from Woods’ eyes that his sudden disappearance hadnothing to do with Rocky. And, judging from the current situation they were witnessing, Woods wasobviously not kidnapped. They wanted to know the truth about where Woods had been and how hehad left the room in secret.

"I saw that you guys were going to arrest and beat him just now. Can someone tell me whathappened here?" At this time, Woods suddenly became unusual. His posture transformed into aprince-like manner as he glared and shouted at Tod's subordinates.

When they heard the shouting of Woods, Tod's subordinates were suddenly covered in cold sweat.They all looked immediately at Tod at the same time.

"Your Royal Highness, the truth is, we thought..." To Tod's surprise, Woods hadn't disappeared orbeen kidnapped after all. He knew he had made a huge mistake by pointing the blame at Rockyeven though there was a lack of evidence. Now that Woods had seen everything, he must explainhis side.

"So what did you think? Or did you even think at all? Kneel down and apologize to this man atonce!" Woods waved his hands dismissively. He didn't even give Tod the chance to explain anything.As soon as Tod's men heard Woods’ orders, they immediately dropped to their knees and hurriedlykowtowed to Rocky.

"Why are you standing still? Were my orders not clear? Get on your knees and apologize to thisman this instant!” Woods shouted at Tod as he pointed his finger at him when he saw that Tod wasstill standing there.

"What? Me too?" Tod pointed at himself in shock. He couldn't believe the situation he was in.

All the people present were shocked at what they were seeing. They did not expect that Woodswould also ask Tod to kneel down and apologize to Rocky. After all, Tod was one of the leaders ofthe Cao Clan, while Rocky was just an ordinary beast master of the Xiao Clan. It was incredible anddaring of Woods to ask him to kneel down and apologize to Rocky!

"Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these people your men? Without your orders, how can they beso lawless in broad daylight? Are you telling me that these commands were not from you? A princehas to be punished for his mistakes. Be honest, do you think you are better than a prince?” Woodsdeliberately said these words to embarrass and humiliate Tod in front of many people.

Tod became scared when he heard what Woods said. He knew he had already offended Woods andPrincess Alyssa was still behind him. Even if he dared to offend Woods, he couldn't afford to offendthe princess too, unless he wanted to die. He immediately knelt down to Woods and cried, "No, Iwon't, absolutely not! I dare not!"

"That's good. Then apologize now!" Woods took Tod's scared demeanor for granted and nodded.Tod turned around to look at Rocky. He knew he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize,"Mr. Rookie, please forgive me and the misunderstanding that happened between us just now! Agreat man rarely stoops to pettiness! I sincerely apologize.”

All the people felt astounded when they saw that Tod apologized to Rocky. After all Tod was famousfor being arrogant and he didn't even give a damn to Lucilla who was the chief of the Cao Clan. Ofcourse, they didn't understand the reason why Woods wanted him to apologize to Rocky. Inaddition to that, Tod was famous in the Timber Deity Empire. If this matter spread out like wildfire,Tod would surely become a laughingstock in the kingdom.

What the people didn't know was that Rocky was the savior of Woods. For Woods, Rocky was atreasure that was completely recovered. So Woods made sure to never allow anyone else to have ashare of that treasure. He would never let go of anyone who dared to take advantage of Rocky, notto mention Tod, even if he was a chief of a clan or some important person in the Timber DeityEmpire!
