"If it was an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. But this is a war dragon that belongs to a member of the Elite Regiment and each of them is arrogant and tough to deal with. If under my guardianship, something happens to their spirit-manipulated beasts, then they can create serious trouble for me," Sheridan said worryingly.
"A member of the Elite Regiment?" having no idea of their presence there, Rocky asked for confirmation.
"Didn't you know? The Commander In Chief has just ordered to call back some members of the Elite Regiment. They were ordered to join the troops in fighting the battles at the front line. They are supposed to reach the main camp by now. Haven't you seen any of them? I heard about your great contributions at the front line..." Sheridan paused, beaming with joy. As Rocky's master, Sheridan was quite happy to hear about the bravery of Rocky at the Wild Heaven Pass. He felt quite proud of his disciple.
Rocky simply shook his head. He didn't care about the Elite Regiment since they had nothing to do with him.
"I can cure this war dragon, but under the condition that you give me a three-star cub," Rocky said without giving up the good opportunity to blackmail his master, as he had promised Sue that he would give her a spirit manipulated beast.
"What?! A three-star cub? What are you going to do with it? You already have two spirit-manipulated beasts, can you own three spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time?" Sheridan asked with a hint of melancholy in his voice.
"I want to present it to someone else as a gift," Rocky replied.
"A gift? How generous of you to give a three-star spirit-manipulated beast as a gift! Is that someone, a woman? Anyway, do you think those three-star cubs are available freely, and you could pick up one at your own will? But the truth is that all the spirit-manipulated beasts in the main camp are subjected to a strict management system. It would be impossible for anybody to take them away without permission." Sheridan spoke sternly. He knew clearly that his disciple was fleecing him since he was in urgent need of his help. And Rocky did that just in order to make a woman happy. With these thoughts in mind, Sheridan could not help but feel sad for himself.
"It's all up to you," Rocky said while stretching his hands and shrugging. It was obvious that he would refuse to cure the war dragon unless he was offered with a three-star spirit-manipulated beast by Sheridan.
"Poor me! Now I am being threatened by my own disciple! All right. Wait a minute," Sheridan spoke with utter disbelief. He regretted having such an impolite disciple who dared to threaten him. But now for the sake of the war dragon, he was left with no other choice but to tolerate Rocky.
A while later, Sheridan walked towards a beast stable and picked up a cub. Quite seemingly the cub was a newborn as it was wrapped with a red cloth.
"Wintersweet Marten!" Rocky could recognize the cub as soon as he saw it.
A Wintersweet Marten was a pretty impressive species on the same star level that could reach the four-star level at the maximum. Known for its agility, it got its name from the Wintersweet shaped patterns on its body. Being small in size, it had the ability to attack the enemy by surprise.
"Is this one okay? A three-star Wintersweet Marten. It has just been born and not registered yet. I suppose, maybe you can take it. You could have the advantage!" Sheridan spoke with distress. Despite the apparent unwillingness, he offered the Wintersweet Marten to Rocky.
Adding no surprise, Rocky had no second thoughts in accepting it.
"Sheridan, please instruct your men to carry this war dragon to an empty beast stable. Also, make arrangements for a small bottle of liquor, a basin of water, a stove, some clean white cotton and gauze," Rocky declared on receiving the Wintersweet Marten.
