Chapter 1825 Overwhelming Murderous Will
The moment Rocky stepped into the forest, he sensed that a murderous will oozed out from the figure
who was following him. But of course, he still remained calm because he was leading the person here
on purpose.
Realizing that they were now in a remote ce, the person bearing the killing intent suddenly rushed
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
towards Rocky. Soon enough, Rocky felt a shining sharp w around his neck.
"Have you really thought this through, Quentin? I am about to attend a wedding ceremony as the
bridegroom. If anything suddenly happens to me, I''m afraid you won''t be able to escape this ce,"
Rocky warned. Even before he entered the forest, he already knew that it was Quentin who was
following him.
"I''m not stupid. I''m not here to kill you. Just give me the form of the healing pill and you''re free to
go!" Quentin said in a rough and gloomy voice.
"Form? What are you talking about?" Rocky did not want this to be easy for Quentin, so he
pretended not to know about it.
"You can''t fool me! I know that you made a special healing pill to save Valeria. Now, give the form of
that pill to me so that we can both walk out of here as soon as possible! I''m not ying games here,
Odin!" Quentin roared.
"Oh, so you want to heal yourself using my pills? I can create those pills to help you. But is this the way
you''re going to ask me for help? By attacking me?" Rocky sneered, deliberately provoking Quentin.
But after regaining his senses, Quentin finally took away the Spectral King w.
"How do you know that I have those healing pills?" Rocky asked, trying to confirm that Gloria did her
job appropriately.
"Why do you care? That''s not important!"
"Well, there''s only one possible person who could have told you about it. It was Gloria, right? She came
to metely, but apparently, she just did that to steal the pills and give them to you," Rocky said with a
serious expression. He did this on purpose so that Quentin would trust Gloria even more.
"Ha-ha! I see. Were you thinking that Gloria will really fall in love with someone like you? Quit
daydreaming!" Quentin snorted disdainfully, falling easily for Rocky''s splendid act.
"Humph! I don''t need her in the first ce. I already have Valeria, so I can just dispose of her anytime,"
Rocky retorted with a shrug.
"Don''t act like you''re such a big shot. Just cut the crap and give me the form. I don''t have much time
to waste on you!" Quentin demanded sternly, growing impatient with their pointless conversation.
"I can give you the form, but it will just be pointless in your hands," Rocky said while crossing his
arms on his chest.
"What the hell do you mean?"
"It means that I am the only one who can refine thisplex kind of pill. If you really want to recover
from your injuries, you have to ask for my help in refining them. So, if you ever n to do something
against me, then you are doomed to be disabled throughout your whole life."
"Are you threatening me, bastard?" Based on Rocky''s tone, Quentin easily perceived that Rocky was
implying something more.
"Threatening you? No, of course not. I don''t have to do that. After all, at your current state, I can just
watch on the sidelines while the other Godly Geniuses take care of you. I don''t even need to deal with
you myself," Rocky replied, subtly mocking him by stating the obvious.
"Then, what the hell do you want? Just say it direct to my face!" Although Quentin was unwilling to ask
for Rocky''s help, at this point, he was the only one that could heal him.
"All right then, since you want me to be straightforward, listen carefully to what I''m about to say. All I
want is for you to persuade the leader of your Purgatory Fief to side with Princess La in theing
selection of the next ruler of the Shura Race," Rocky said bluntly.
"What? That''s impossible! The Purgatory Fief has already decided to support Prince Zain!" Quentin
instantly refused, knowing that this matter was out of his hands.
"Well, I don''t think that''s my problem anymore. You asked me what I want as payment for your
recovery, so you have to agree with my condition. I''m sure you understand your position. After all,
without the Godly Genius, the Purgatory Fief will be out of thepetition for good, and of course, you
don''t want that. Moreover, I''m a bit certain that the leader of your fief is yet to know that you''re seriously
injured, right?" Rocky knew that Quentin was at his most desperate moment right now, so he was
confident that he could take advantage of it.
"Damn it! Why do I have to go through this?" Quentin''s face twitched in rage that the veins on his
temples became very visible.
"Don''t get so angry. I''m sure that it won''t be that difficult for you to convince your leader. After all,
everyone knows that Princess La has a very good reputation since her mother has been a virtuous
ruler in the past. It will also be advantageous for your fief if she became the next ruler." Rocky
expressed his opinion, pushing Quentin to agree with him.
"Ha! It doesn''t really matter to me who''s going to be the next ruler. Everything will just be the same."
"Then, you have no reason not to agree with my terms. Put your well-being as your priority. There is
nothing wrong with that."
"Fine. I agree..." Since Quentin knew that he really had no other choice, he eventually agreed.
"Here is a bottle of the pills that I promised. Take it and you should feel better." Rocky took out the
bottle he had prepared in advance and handed it over.
"Will I fully recover after taking all of this?" Quentin asked as he examined the bottle.
"No, not yet. But if Princess La became the next ruler, then I guarantee that you can return to your
former state," Rocky answered honestly.
"Why should I trust you? How can you assure me that you''ll fulfill your promise?" It was just natural for
Quentin to be skeptical. After all, they were still enemies. He could not help but worry that Rocky would
stop helping him once La had already be the queen.
"You can doubt me all you want, but one thing is for sure. I am your only hope! So, you actually have
no choice but to trust me whether you like it or not," Rocky said haughtily.
Obviously, Quentin was not satisfied with this answer, so he could not help but reveal a hint of anger on
his face. On the other hand, he realized that Rocky was right. He could not afford to doubt him because
he was the only one that could help him recover.
After they settled with the agreement, Quentin immediately disappeared from where he stood.
Then, a few moments after Quentin left, Gloria suddenly appeared behind Rocky.
"So, you asked me to give him the medicinal pill so that you can manipte him into agreeing with
what you want?" Gloria shook her head, only realizing the motive behind Rocky''s order.
"Yeah, you did well. Thank you." Rocky turned to her and let out a huge smile.
"But why does the Ghost Fief want to support Princess La? In terms of strength, the better candidate
that can contend with Prince Zain is Prince Enoch," Gloria asked with furrowed brows.
"Well, first, Leader Gilbert has already established a good rtionship with Princess La. As for me, I
also want to support her due to my own reasons. Don''t worry. I won''t force the Genie Fief to support
Princess La, as long as you will not side with Prince Zain," Rocky assured Gloria. But of course, if
she could convince her father to side with Princess La, then it would even be better.
"I can''t make the decision myself, but I will surely take this to my father once we meet again." Gloria
knew that it might be difficult to convince her father since he was very close with Prince Enoch.
However, she wanted to stand by Rocky in whatever way she could, because she had a premonition
even during the Spiritual Emperor Contest that he would be thest man standing in the battle of the
Godly Geniuses.
"So, what are you going to do now? Will you stay and watch the wedding?" Rocky asked with a light
smile.
"Of course! I have already prepared some tricks that I could pull off during the event."
"What? Seriously? Valeria would be furious if she found out that it was your doing." Rocky suddenly
panicked a little, afraid of what Gloria might do during the ceremony.
"So? I am not afraid of her. You know what, I actually want to fight her. I didn''t even have the
opportunity to do that in the Spiritual Emperor Contest!"
"Are you not really thinking of the consequences of your actions? What if they caught you?" Rocky
immediately reprimanded her.
"Humph! You''re boring. Of course, I am just kidding! I''m not that stupid to cause such trouble. Anyway,
I''m actually heading back to the Genie Fief, so I will not be able to witness your wedding. My father just
sent a message that Prince Zain started recruiting soldiers there. He wants me to go back and help him
with it," Gloria said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, I see. Before I forget, I''ll also have to go to the human race after the wedding ceremony," Rocky
informed her, just in case she went to the Ghost Fief to find him.
"The human race? Why? What are you going to do there?" Gloria asked out of curiosity.
"Why else? I am going there to do an undercover assignment." Rocky made up an excuse on the spot.
He could not let her know his ns right now.
"That sounds exciting! I''ll alsoe with you." Gloria immediately showed interest, thinking that they
could spend some time without anyone watching them.
"No. I want you to wait for me here. Besides, I need to you collect some relevant information whenever
there is an opportunity." Moreover, Rocky knew that he would not be able to do his tasks if Gloria would
always pester him.
"Humph! You don''t want me there so that no one will interfere when you fool around with other girls!"
Gloria''s eyes widened in anger and jealousy.
"Oh, please! Is that how you really see me?" Rocky was actually at a loss. Gloria was acting more like
his wife than Valeria.
"What is in it for me if I listen to you?" Gloria immediately bargained. As a scheming woman, she would
not do something against her will if she would not gain something from it.
"Fine! I promise to make sure that you will enter the final battle of the Godly Geniuses. Is that enough?"
Rocky eventually offered.
"Really? You are not just saying that so that I will agree?" Gloria''s eyes instantly lit up after she heard
what Rocky was offering this time.
"Tell me. When did I ever break my promise?"
"All right! You have a deal. No take backs!" Gloria said enthusiastically. Holding on to Rocky''s promise,
she hurriedly left with deep satisfaction written all over her face.
