Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 399

Rocky was cognizant so well about Isis and Marin. Although they consistently regarded him with condescension and wore enraged looks in front of him, they literally had helped him a number of times under the table. The time he turned down Lance's offer, if not because of Isis, he would have already been cast out to the frontline battlefield. While he was in the northeast military camp, he disappeared now and again, which contravened the military law. However, Marin always turned a blind eye to that. If anyone else had done such an action, Marin would have punished them conforming to the military law.

Besides, Sheridan was close to Isis and Marin and treated them well as if they were his own daughters. If Sheridan knew that Rocky didn't grant them any support, he would without doubt nag at Rocky about that for a long time. Because of all those grounds, he would not sit by when Isis and Marin were in danger, although he was not such a meddlesome character. Deep inside, Rocky actually was a man who gratified the inclinations of people. Yet, he always showed a cynical attitude in front of the others.

Apart from those elements above, Rocky had another fundamental reason for lending them a hand. Isis was in charge of an army, and her father was at a high position and had predominant power in the Holy Dragon Empire, all of which would be in his best influences to his future. If the whole Crimson Dragon Group owed him big time, he would get his mitts on the support of the Crimson Dragon Group. Thus, he had to give his affirmation to Isis' well-being. After all, she played the ultimate important part of his strategy. He set his eyes on being a substantial figure in this world. Rocky kept developing and discovering from what happened to him since his spirit passed through the tunnel of time and space and drifted into this younger body. After coming across so much, he didn't wish to be manipulated by anyone anymore. He wanted to be the maker and master of his destiny.

Every time he showed up and came to their aid at the most critical moment, both Lance and Isis felt so grateful to him, which was exactly what Rocky had been planning. No matter how hardhearted a person was, he or she would appreciate him for saving them out of danger one time after another. So long as he came to their aid again, they would owe him one more time. After all, nothing in the world would be more of incalculable value than life.

The reason why he gave the thumbs down to be Frontline Commander was also that he preferred them to owe him. Once he accepted that offer, what he had done now would turn into finishing his own duty. In other words, he could earn nothing at all. He didn't want to work for the Crimson Dragon Group without reaping any reward. What's more, he didn't give a tinker's curse the position as a Frontline Commander at all.

The position as a Frontline Commander could not put Rocky's mind at rest, after all. He would rather idle about in the Crimson Dragon Group and extend assistance occasionally. Then the Crimson Dragon Group would owe him a lot. Or he would have to be a fundamental figure in the Crimson Dragon Group instead of a mere Frontline Commander. If that were the case, he would have the Crimson Dragon Group as his at his fingertip power. What he had an inclination for was to be a high ranking figure who was able to maneuver the Crimson Dragon Group.

Of course, Rocky would never tell Isis his real thoughts. He had put down the enticement in the Rough Slope last time. What he needed to do now was nothing but waiting for Isis and her father to take the bait. So long as he secured their complete freedom from suspicion, he would gain the support of the entire Crimson Dragon Group, which was he planned for.

It would only be in his best interest when he returned the Palace City to get back his everything.

"Does that matter?" Rocky asked as peeking at Isis.

"Of course it matters. You are not a compliant man who will follow an order and come here to save us from danger. You must have offered some requirement, like what you did last time in the Rough Slope. Am I right? What did my father promise you? What do you propose for?" Isis was as smart as a fox that she already got the right point. After all, she had lessons gathered from previous experience. She could tell Rocky must have his motive of offering help this time.

"Wow, you are excellent! The Commander in Chief did promise me some benefit. That's why I'm here." Rocky directly told Isis the fact of the matter. After all, she would be conscious that sooner or later.
