The Medallion

Chapter 1023 Queenie Was Attacked

Rocky had spent most of his time in Woods' mansion for the past few days. He focused on studying and refining the Holy Spirit Panacea, but inwardly, he was about as anxious as a raging river. Alyssa had not come to see him for a couple of days, and he was eager to know how things went on.

It was already getting dark when Alyssa finally showed up, just as Rocky expected.

"Hey, what's up? Is everything all right?" Rocky asked as soon as he saw her.

"Laney sent me a message earlier today. She said that Marcia is coming all the way here to see you in person." She paused when Rocky looked at her in surprise. "Are you surprised? I guess she is a very cautious person, which is wise of her. But I don't think she needed to come here in person. All she needs to do is to prepare everything to make sure that you can go back smoothly and safely. On the other hand, this might be a better idea. This way, I can rest peacefully knowing that she can protect you from any danger on the way back!" Rocky heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Marcia wouldn't come in person if she didn't believe Alyssa. Thus, she must have thought that he was still alive, which made things easier for him.

Even back then, he had been worried that Marcia would have found his death suspicious and would look into it, which would inevitably delay his return to his empire. Even if he tried to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire stealthily, it would still take a lot of time.

"Marcia will be here soon. I suggest that you stay inside this mansion until she arrives. I just received information that Geoffrey may have discovered your real identity. Many commanders have seen you during the war between your country and mine. And even though most of them are on my side, and most of them are still at the border, one or two may have returned to the capital. If Geoffrey confirms that you're Prince Basil, he will undoubtedly take this opportunity to kill you," Alyssa warned seriously.

"Okay, I won't leave this mansion," Rocky agreed, knowing that not only was his life at stake, but Woods and Alyssa could get in trouble too.

"That's it. This may be the last time we see each other in such a friendly atmosphere. If we get a chance to meet again, I'm afraid we'll be enemies," said Alyssa with a sad smile on her face. "So long, take care of yourself!" Truthfully, she didn't want to see Rocky anymore when she found out for sure that he was about to return to the Holy Dragon Empire. She couldn't make up her mind with what she had to do for her curse, so in the end, she gave up trying to decide for now. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Please remember to pull your punches when we meet the next time!" Rocky teased with a relaxed look on his face.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Here. These are several drops of the Moon Fox's blood essence. You mentioned that you want some, didn't you? This is my farewell gift for you!" Alyssa took out a bottle and handed it to Rocky, who was smiling widely now.

"Wow! You're so considerate. Thank you!" Rocky exclaimed as he accepted it without hesitation.

On the outside, she was happy, but inwardly, she could not help but sigh. Alyssa cast one last glance at him, an indescribable emotion flashing quickly in her eyes. In the next breath, she turned around resolutely and walked away with the wind.

At the same time, in Geoffrey's mansion, many people had gathered together in a big hall, including the peerless masters at the Divine Stage and the masters at the Supernal Stage. However, it was strange to see that Algy was there too.

"Geoffrey, are you just going to watch while Woods succeeds and becomes the heir? That position should be yours!" Algy said, sowing discord between the two.

"You must be kidding me, brother. Woods just grabbed the spiritual treasure by accident and gained a little advantage. We still have a chance as long as His Majesty has not made the announcement. Besides, I've found a trump card to defeat him, and I've spent a lot of effort into it. Woods will pay the price soon," Geoffrey said with a sinister smile.

"Oh, really? Good for you!" This piqued Algy's curiosity, and his eyes glittered with excitement. He had planned to set Geoffrey and Woods against each other, and then once they had worn each other out, he would emerge to be the one who gained the most.

"Woods' success or failure is all due to the very same person. And he can only bring disgrace on himself in the end. Just wait and see!" Geoffrey said confidently.

"Okay. I will be satisfied as long as Woods doesn't get that position." Algy had always held a grudge against Woods because of a conflict they once had. Thus, he would rather have Geoffrey as the heir of the emperor rather than Woods.

"Chief Alexander, what about our plan? Is everything ready?" Geoffrey asked, looking at Alexander expectantly.

"Tate has set out, Your Royal Highness," Alexander said with a devious smile of his own.

"Great. Let's wait for his good news." Geoffrey nodded as he sat back on his chair with a satisfied smirk.

Meanwhile, Queenie was getting bored to death inside the Cao Mansion. Rocky hadn't come to visit them even once after the treasure hunting, so she found herself losing interest at anything. She couldn't focus on the things she used to love doing!

"It's so boring. Why don't I go and harass that bastard?" Queenie said to herself, looking for an excuse to go and see Rocky.

She jumped from her chair excitedly and moved to the door, but stopped mid-way, hesitating. She murmured, "Why should I go to that bastard when he hadn't even shown his face here? Besides, he's leaving. I can only make fun of him while he's still here, but I can't do that in the future. What will I do

when he is gone? Forget it. I'd better find another person to kill my time with." She changed her mind and was about to go back to bed when she stopped mid-way again.

"But nobody is as fun as him, and I'm really bored! Ah, what am I doing? It's so annoying. Should I go to find that bastard and annoy him or not?" Queenie thought about it anxiously. She picked up a flower and plucked its petals one by one, counting, "Go or not go, go or — not go! It landed on not go?!"

She couldn't help the pout that pulled at her lips when she didn't get the answer she wanted. "No way. I must have counted wrong. Maybe I should do it again."

She was lost in her thoughts for a long time until a figure suddenly threw himself over the high wall and landed just a few feet away from her. Queenie was immediately vigilant as soon as she noticed the existence of this figure. Putting the flower and her thoughts away, she straightened her body and shot a sharp look in his way, shouting, "Who are you?"

The figure quickly froze in its tracks and called out, "Queenie!"

"Tate?" She was confused at first, but anger took over quickly when she realized who it was. "What are you doing in my home? You are such a despicable man! Did you come all the way here to die?"

"Please wait! I came here with a good intention. Prince Geoffrey has found out about Mr. Rookie's true identity. He is a very dangerous person, and a great threat to the Timber Deity Empire. Prince Geoffrey is now preparing to go to Prince Woods' mansion to catch him," said Tate seriously.

"Liar! How could that bastard be dangerous? There's no way that is true! Are you kidding me? How could he be a threat to the Timber Deity Empire?" Queenie couldn't believe a single word he said.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I came here to inform Lucilla in case your clan can make some preparation for it. I know Lucilla won't see me, and won't believe me even if I manage to see her. Thus,

I came to you instead. Please do tell her!"

As soon as he said his piece, Tate turned around and flew away as fast as he could. "Wait a moment!" shouted Queenie from behind him, but he was already gone. The things he had said made her mind wander. Coupled with the hasty way that he had left, Queenie couldn't help but feel suspicious. She needed to know more about this!

She got up to follow him outside, hoping that he would tell her more, but Tate was faster than she thought. Queenie ran after him with all her might, and as she was about to catch up with him, he suddenly disappeared.

Queenie stopped short, looking around, but Tate had left no trace. The disappointment felt like a lead weight that had been tied to her hands and feet, making her movements sluggish and heavy. All of a sudden, the strong aura of a Divine Stage master approached her and trapped her where she stood. She could not even move, let alone look at the master, because he had locked her spiritual power inside her. In the next moment, her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she fell to the ground soundlessly.
