Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 296

"Is that another compliment, Deputy Commander in Chief?" Rocky said with a sly smile. He now believed that Isis somehow thought highly of him.

"Fine. Yes, that was a compliment. My father has commended you in front of other people several times. Even Mr. Sheridan often tells me of your talents," Isis replied.

"What are you really trying to say?" Rocky was not convinced that Isis' true purpose for inviting him here was only to praise him.

"Who are you really, Rocky? There are just so many questions about you. We would like to know about the real you." Isis felt it was appropriate to tell Rocky her true purpose. The more she learned about Rocky, the more she found him special. The fight earlier allowed her to see more of Rocky's special talents. Not only was he able to improve at a rate that was seemingly impossible, he also handled the fight in a manner that was astounding. Isis believed that Rocky's skill had something to do with who he really was.

"If you truly want to know, I suppose, I can tell you. The truth is that I am..." Rocky said and paused on purpose and then stared at the two women.

They never expected Rocky to suddenly tell them the truth behind his identity. They slowly leaned forward towards Rocky in anticipation of Rocky's revelation.

"I'm the future emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky answered with a snobbish look.

"If you are the future emperor, then I am the future empress! Now stop talking crazy," Isis replied. She took Rocky's answer as another one of his jokes. She suddenly blushed as she realized that if she was to be the future empress then it was like she was saying that she would be Rocky's future wife.

"Ha-ha-ha! I am not sure if you truly want to be my future empress. But since Deputy Commander in Chief brought it up, I will definitely consider it seriously," Rocky laughed loudly.

"Why you!" Isis replied in anger. Her lips trembled in anger, but more because it was her who got herself into this predicament than because of Rocky's witty retort.

"Calm down Isis! He is just being absurd again. Are you really taking what he said seriously?" Marin said softly to calm Isis down.

"Well, you are right! That was just another one of his jokes." Isis blushed as her anger evaporated into thin air. The stoic Isis that Rocky was used to seeing was not the same Isis who was before him right now.

"You do not believe me?" What Rocky said was closer to the truth than the ladies realized. Sooner or later, he would have to return to the Palace City, ascend to the throne and take back everything. Rocky told them the truth because the truth about him was crazier than the fiction that they expected to hear.

"Right! Who would be stupid enough to actually believe that? If you truly would become our emperor, the whole country would be in flames. Give us some credit, will you? We are not that stupid. Make up another story that is more convincing, little liar," Isis replied with indifference. She looked at Rocky as if he was just another cocky man. But she could not see through Rocky's veil of mystery. This made her crazy curious about him.

"I told you the truth and yet you do not believe it. That is no longer my fault," Rocky replied with one eyebrow raised in jest.

Isis and Marin stared at each other. They were convinced that it was impossible to get a straight answer from Rocky so they decided to leave it at that. However, they had another reason for bringing Rocky here.

"Rocky, listen to me very closely. The situation you are in right now is a little sticky. My father admires your talents so much that he wants to promote you. But you refused him last time. My father is a stubborn man. He never gives up easily once he sets his eyes on something. What makes it worse is that the details about your identity is highly confidential at the headquarters and this makes him want to know even more about who you really are. Expect that my father will not spare any resource to get what he wants. That means you will find it hard to get away from him. And to tell you the truth, my father organized this contest for you," Isis explained as her words caught Rocky off guard.
