Seeing the shocked expression on the faces of the commanders in front of him, Rocky gave a bigger smile and kept going forward without saying anything, looking calm and casual.
But to those commanders, seeing Rocky hold the middle-class Dark Heaven Egg and the yellow spiritual crystal implied that they would stay awake tonight. They had been kicking their heels outside to see how down in the dumps Rocky would be after being criticized by the Commander in Chief. But to their shock, Rocky looked ordinary and sauntered with one middle-class Dark Heaven Egg and a yellow spiritual crystal.
They were not getting agitated over Rocky not being thrown brickbats at, but they were incredibly green with jealousy of Rocky having the two treasures. In the Crimson Dragon Group, Frontline Commanders and those above the position could get hold of one primary Dark Heaven Egg every three months and one red spiritual crystal after hanging on for practically one year. Only Elite Commanders could get the middle-class Dark Heaven Egg and yellow spiritual crystal every several months.
Rocky went in empty-handed but went out with the two treasuries. It was crystal clear that he had gotten them from the Commander in Chief. Those commanders had heard the Commander in Chief say that he would teach Rocky a lesson, so they couldn't puzzle out why the Commander in Chief didn't cast aspersions on Rocky but granted him two treasuries that any spirit manipulator coveted.
They would never have the slenderest inkling.
At this time, a figure lunged forward and stood in front of Rocky, pointing at the items in Rocky's hands, saying, "Rocky, did you get the middle-class Dark Heaven Egg and yellow spiritual crystal from the Commander in Chief?"
Rocky looked up and recognized it was Flank.
"Yes. Commander Zhao, are you interested in those two treasuries?" Rocky asked with a meaningful smile, his eyes lighting up with interest. His smile shone like stars.
Flank swallowed at the treasuries in Rocky's hands, and his eyes gleamed with envy and greed. But he put on a deceptive front that he didn't care about them and suggested with a grunt, "They are just middle-class Dark Heaven Egg and yellow spiritual crystal. Only the bumpkin like you treasures them that much."
"That's magnificent. I'm afraid Commander Zhao is envious of me having their possession and will plunder me to steal them away," Rocky said with a crisp beam.
"What do you mean by that? How can you have the audacity to think of me in that manner?" Flank was on the warpath after hearing what Rocky had suggested. But deep inside, that thought had crossed his mind.
Most people in this world harbored evil-intentioned thoughts.
Other than Flank, other commanders were envious of Rocky. They were inquisitive about how Rocky got the priceless items from the Commander in Chief and what had taken place in the room.
"You are apprehensive of what I meant. Commander Zhao, no one knows better than you about what you have in mind," Rocky said coldly, his chilly eyesight making Flank dread in cold perspiration. Sweat was gathering to trail down his body.
"Rocky, you'd better keep low key. It's not in your best interests for you to be too big for your boots in front of me. Who do you think you are? Don't think you are someone after doing some deeds of merit. Today I will let you know you are nothing but a worthless piece of trash!" Flank showed a ghastly expression. He had felt repugnance towards Rocky for a long time, for he was in a position to win the favor of the Deputy Commander in Chief and the Commander in Chief, which made him very envious. What was more, Rocky had almost wrecked his son before, so he was hell-bent on teaching Rocky a lesson.
