Chapter 859 A Strange Feeling


    "Please don''t get the wrong idea, Master Lucas. I only admire Mr. Rookie for his ability. There''s nothing


    more to it," Luci exined hurriedly, her face flushed red out of embarrassment. She didn''t expect


    that Lucas would misunderstand that she had a crush on Rocky. But only she knew that she closed her


    heart long ago and vowed to never open it again for the rest of her life. Therefore, she would never fall


    in love with any man ever again.


    "Chief, you asked me before how to convince him to stay with our n, right? Forgive my bluntness,


    but isn''t the only reason why we want Mr. Rookie to stay with us because he will be of great help in the


    future development of the n? I''ve thought about it thoroughly over the past few days. I think the only


    way to keep him here is to win his heart. Believe it or not, if you ced mountains of gold and silver in


    front of him you still wouldn''t be able to change his mind," Lucas reasoned out with the facts.


    "If that''s the case, then there''s nothing we can do to change it. Mr. Rookie may possess extraordinary


    skills but he keeps a low profile. He''s not the type to fall in love and get into a rtionship with another."


    Luci voiced out her perspective as a woman.


    "I disagree. We all see how kind he''s been treating Miss Juey. From the looks of it, he''s not as


    heartless as you think. Since ancient times, heroes have always associated with beauties. How can


    you know if you never try?" Lucas said as he stroked his beard.


    "Even so, it doesn''t have to be me! Our n has no shortage of beautiful women. If Mr. Rookie is the


    type to fall for such women, then he can have fun with them for as long as he wants to!" Despite what


    she said, she was still repulsed by the idea—not of Rocky, but the idea of using a woman to seduce


    and corrupt him. If he did turn out to be such a man, then his image that she held in her heart would be


    ruined. Men''s minds were unpredictable. This was enough reason for her to refuse Lucas'' advice.


    "It seems you still haven''t understood, my chief. I never suggested that you try to seduce him. I just


    hope that you could consider the thought of him being your husband. Based on his actions over the


    past few days, I think Mr. Rookie is trustworthy enough. He may have his reasons, but I''m sure they


    won''t have any negative impact on the Cao n. In fact, I believe he can help the Cao n redeem


    itself. His strength alone is proof enough. If you could just open your heart and ept him, perhaps


    he''ll reciprocate your feelings," Lucas said, cutting to the chase.


    "I don''t think he''s that kind of man…" While she understood Lucas''s good intentions, Lucille was afraid


    that she couldn''t fall in love with another man.


    "Are you certain you have no feelings for Mr. Rookie?" Lucas asked with eyes so piercing that they


    looked as though they were able to see into her mind.


    "I...I don''t know." Luci couldn''t deny. Her feelings for Rocky wereplicated, but she couldn''t deny


    her admiration for him. Yesterday, Rocky brought her surprises which left quite an impression that she


    had never experienced before. It was the first time she had met a man with such charm. Indeed, she


    began to develop a crush on him.


    "Please don''t rush into any decision, Chief. You don''t have to agree with all that I''ve suggested. They''re


    all just personal opinions. But I hope you can think it over. If Mr. Rookie is the one, I guarantee that


    you''ll never regret it. Time and tide wait for no man. You''d better hurry up. It will be toote if Mr.


    Rookie leaves our n." Lucas nodded at Luci and then walked away.


    Remaining where she stood, Luci''s eyes followed Lucas until he was out of sight. As she began to


    imagine Rocky''s striking figure on the stage yesterday, the confusion was clear in her eyes. "Is he


    really worthmitting my life to?" she asked herself.


    The next day, the finalpetition of the Beast Master Contest was going to take ce as nned.


    Rocky became the main topic of the entire capital due to his brilliant performance two days ago. Before


    thepetition, the hall was abuzz with chatter about the breathtakingpetition between the Cao


    n''s mysterious beast evaluator and Carter. The atmosphere was a very lively one.


    Today was the beast curingpetition, the final battle between the Cao n and the Qi n that


    would determine the winner of the Beast Master Contest. Needless to say, both ns would give it their


    all this time.


    Everyone was looking forward to witnessing this grand battle!


    Of course, no one knew which n would emerge victorious. Whether the Qi n would trample on


    the Timber Deity Empire''s former first n or the Cao n would surprise the people again with


    Rocky''s help and reim the top position, the result was still up for debate and kept everyone in


    suspense.


    To some extent, thispetition was of great significance for both the Cao n and the Qi n.


    What''s more, it would determine both of their fates.


    Just as thepetition was about to begin, some unexpected news took the Cao n by surprise.


    "What? Yang suffered a heart attack?" Luci couldn''t help but shout and jump out of her seat upon


    hearing the news. Her face had drastically changed its color. Yang was the Cao n''s trump card. If he


    couldn''t make it, it would be a big blow to the Cao n''s n to win.


    "Right at this moment?" Lucas asked with cold eyes as he thought of the perfect timing of such a


    coincidence.


    "How is Yang now? Did he get treated?" Luci asked anxiously.


    "He is still in aa," the disciple, who came to report the news, replied.


    Luci furrowed her eyebrows and paced back and forth.


    "Chief Luci, I''d like to take the lead to buy more time for the Cao n. I''ll do my best to dy the


    game. I hope that Yang can wake up in time!" Travis rmended suddenly.


    Luci stopped pacing and directed her gaze to Lucas for advice.


    "It may not be a bad idea," Lucas replied after a moment''s consideration. Technically, Travis was


    stronger than Mary so he had a good chance at extending thepetition''s duration. If Yang woke up


    in time, then the Cao n still had a chance at winning.


    Travis immediately cupped his hands and bowed to Luci and Lucas. Without wasting another


    second, he headed towards the battle ring. But what people failed to see was the horrible smile that


    began to creep across his face the moment he turned away.


    Meanwhile, Rocky and Juey arrived at the Cao n''s waiting area and were surprised by the air of


    grief that hung over the people. They wondered what was going on.


    "There you are, Mr. Rookie. How''s your injury?" Luci asked as she stood up to greet him.


    "Nothing serious. What happened? I have this weird feeling…" Rocky immediately asked.


    Once Luci told him everything she knew, Rocky turned his gaze towards Travis who, with each step

    towards the ring, made the strange feeling within him grow stronger.
