"Oh, it's him. But shouldn't he be working in the beast farm instead? I mean, why did he go to the guard team? What's going on, Ramon? Tell me. Are you hiding something from me?" Harrison interrogated. At that moment, he recalled that he had asked Ramon to set Rocky up to work in the beast farm. But as it turned out, Rocky was enrolled in Ramon's guard team instead.
"My Lord, Basil was able to pass the entrance exam just a few days ago. Now, he is a preliminary disciple of the Sword Spirit City and has been assigned to my guard team," Ramon replied in a matter of fact.
"Is that so? Did he really pass the entrance exam? Interesting. I have tested him before, and I thought that he is nothing but an ordinary person. But what baffles me the most is that he can actually become a spirit warrior in such a short time, and also a disciple of our sect. How could that be? Tell me, Ramon, is there something I don't know?" Harrison asked curiously as his voice raised a little.
"I'm not quite sure, My Lord. All I know is that if he did not try his best to protect Miss Hannah, then I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to arrive in time," Roman said with all honesty. Somehow, it was very unusual for Ramon to put in a good word for Rocky. After all, he was not so friendly with him to begin with.
"Hannah, is this true?" Harrison asked as he placed his gaze on Hannah.
"I believe so. Basil had almost lost his life just by trying to protect me," Hannah replied with a reassuring nod.
"In that case, then you should be rewarded handsomely for doing a good job on protecting Hannah. I will ask the leader of the Security Hall to reward you and your Cloudlet Team for your contribution!" Harrison was a man who always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
"Thank you so much, My Lord!" Ramon cupped his hands, bowed a little and said.
Soon after, Hannah and Ramon left the hall together.
"Ramon, can I ask you a quick question? What do you think of Basil?" As they walked, Hannah asked him out of the blue.
"Do you really want me to be honest with you, Miss Hannah?" Ramon said in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes.
But as a reply, Hannah nodded heavily.
"To tell you the truth, I have always felt the young bloke to be a little suspicious. But somehow, I can't really pinpoint why I feel that way," Ramon answered frankly.
"You're not alone. Actually, I think the same way." Unexpectedly, Hannah looked him in the eye and agreed with him.
"What makes you say that?" At that moment, Ramon was very curious and eager to hear Hannah's side of the story.
"As far as I have observed, we are facing masters at the seventh stage of the Spirit Realm. I just find it odd that he could manage to hold on for a long time. I am certain that this is something that no ordinary spirit warrior can do. Plus, he owns a Spiritual Weapon—a dagger, which is rare to find. All the clues don't add up," Hannah remarked. Despite not being a spirit warrior, she could feel without using her spiritual sense that Rocky was out of the ordinary. After all, she grew up in the Sword Spirit Sect, thus, sharpening her intuition and her spiritual sense.
"So, why didn't you tell the leader? I say that we should make a prompt decision in case of unnecessary trouble since Basil's identity is becoming more and more suspicious," Ramon advised immediately. Without a doubt, he still had a deep prejudice against Rocky.
"Well, I don't know. I mean, he may be suspicious, but judging from the way he protected me, I don't think he is that dangerous. Even if he is hiding something from us, as long as he is not doing anything that could potentially threaten our sect, just turn a blind eye to it!" When he heard how Hannah even tried to defend Rocky, Ramon's eyes widened in shock.
"But... Miss Hannah..." Ramon still felt that her advice was rather inappropriate and not the best for the situation.
"And besides, if it weren't for him, then I wouldn't have been safe and sound right now. Just keep a keen eye on him for now. If he does anything wrong, then you report straight to me. If that happens, then I will make a decision," Hannah said as she schemed.
"Okay, sure thing. I will." At that moment, Ramon had no other choice but to cup his hands and follow Hannah's orders.
"But I think you must have already known about his hidden skills beforehand, so you deliberately arranged him to protect me. After all, I don't think anyone expects him to have the ability to protect me," Hannah suddenly said suggestively.
