With the stillness of the moon, the Evian City was as silent as death after the big battle, giving anyone a sense of desolation and sadness.
On the ruins of the city wall, a woman and a beast stood side by side bathing in the moonlight. The woman's cold and beautiful face was like an ice sculpture, and the sadness in her eyes made people feel pitiful. The woman was Sabina.
Suddenly, a beast shadow with flickering flame light fell from the sky. Then, a figure jumped off from the beast, and in the blink of an eye, it came in front of Sabina.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Rocky in front of her, Sabina was surprised. But she soon found that Rocky was looking at her with rage as if he had been cheated, which made her feel uneasy.
"Are you Marcia's disciple?" Rocky asked as he glared at Sabina with a ferocious look.
Sabina was stunned upon hearing that. She never expected Rocky would learn her true identity. Besides Lance and Isis, only her uncle knew that she was Marcia's disciple.
Of course, she wasn't stupid. She soon guessed how Rocky knew about it. It must be her uncle who had asked Rocky about her business that revealed her identity. She then asked, "Did you meet Uncle Allen?"
"You just need to answer me yes or no!" Rocky responded coldly.
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to hide the truth any more, Sabina just nodded in silence.
"I never anticipated you to be Marcia's disciple…" Suddenly, Rocky sneered. His laughter was wild as well as disappointed.
"I didn't mean to lie to you. It was because my master told me not to tell you my real identity," Sabina explained, as she saw the strangeness on Rocky's face. She thought that the reason why the man was furious was that she had concealed her true identity.
"Of course you are not going to tell me. Because you have been following me all the way just to keep watch on me, right?" Rocky questioned angrily.
Upon hearing Rocky's groundless accusation, Sabina was stunned and she asked back, "What did you just say? Keep watch on you? Why would I do that?"
"Didn't your master instruct you that she should be the one responsible for my exile to the Gehenna Border?" Rocky didn't forget what happened in the past. He didn't mind about his power being sealed by Marcia. Now he knew that if the woman hadn't sealed his power, he might have been completely controlled by his evil power and then spiraled into madness.
In fact, what made him really mad was that, among all the places, Marcia had actually proposed sending him to the Gehenna Border, an extremely dangerous place quite far away from home. So, he couldn't understand why she would do such a thing, which was almost equal to adding salt into his injury. Moreover, he would have been an unknown soldier in the army if he was not lucky enough to have some unusual experiences on the Gehenna Border. So, he still had a grudge against Marcia. He really wanted to meet her and ask why she had done that to him. Unfortunately, he didn't have such a chance. Now, she had sent her disciple to follow him. It was hard for him to figure out her intention.
Hearing Rocky's reproach, Sabina was at a loss for words. She could make out that he was telling the truth, which explained why her master wanted her to protect him. Her master never disclosed the reason but it was clear that there was something between Rocky and her master, which she was unaware of. Moreover, it seemed he held a grudge against her master.
