Meanwhile, at Marcia's mansion of the Holy Dragon Empire, the henchman sent by Marcia two days ago had just returned. In the study, he carefully handed over a small and delicate box that he brought back from the Ji Clan to Marcia.
"You must be tired. Go and get some rest first," Marcia ordered in a concerned voice.
Right after she saw the henchman close the door behind him, she picked up the delicate box and meticulously opened it slowly. As soon as she opened it, she took a closer look at what was inside. Out of the blue, her body began to tremble upon recognizing what was inside. At that moment, all she could show was a myriad of complex expressions. Soon after, a crystal tear suddenly fell from the corner of her eyes.
"He's really not dead. I can't believe it... Really not dead..." Marcia murmured to herself in disbelief. At that moment, all that gave her hope were Laney's words and the evidence in the box that she was holding.
The object she was holding was exactly the Dragon Twined Wood to seal the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead in Rocky's body back then. Due to the close connection of the Dragon Twined Wood with the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead in Rocky's body, the Dragon Twined Wood would change no matter how far away it was from Rocky as long as the evil power had any change. The opposite could only happen if Rocky died.
However, at that moment, the crack on the Dragon Twined Wood inside the box appeared to be deeper than before. This was an indication that Rocky had least removed the fourth layer of the seal in his body. This also indicated that the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead was still changing, which could be positive proof that he was still alive.
In fact, Marcia had a chance to find out the truth before. But after learning that Rocky had already died, Sabina put away the Dragon Twined Wood as a souvenir. She didn't ask Sabina for it, making her miss the opportunity to find out the truth about Rocky's death.
But now that Marcia saw with her own eyes that the Dragon Twined Wood was still changing, she was now sure that what Laney had said before was true—Rocky was not dead.
As a result, Marcia immediately ordered someone to call Laney to the study.
"General Marcia, it appears that you now have the proof. Now, you know that I was telling the truth about Mr. Rookie being alive." As Laney entered the study, she saw Marcia's bright and beautiful face. At that moment, she could tell that Marcia believed her now.
"I'm not sure yet, though. After all, Sabina saw Basil disappear in front of her. Did Alyssa trick us? In fact, she had imprisoned Basil secretly. Then, she came to worship him at his death ceremony only to check if we suspect that Basil is still alive. But if so, why did she send you to tell me the truth about Basil?" Marcia asked seriously in an attempt to hide her excitement. Of course, she wanted to find out the truth and make sure that Rocky was indeed alive. Moreover, what she couldn't really figure out was that if Alyssa tried her best to hide the truth about Rocky, then why did she send Laney to tell her now?
