Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 619

"A fake marriage? What do you mean?" Isis exclaimed. She was stunned. How could Rocky propose such a thing?

"We will get married, but it'll be fake. You will be my wife, and I your husband, but on paper only. In actuality, there won't be a relationship between us. We will still live our lives separately," Rocky explained calmly.

"Will it actually work? Doesn't marriage oblige the new couple to worship heaven and earth? Marriage is not a flippant thing. How can it be a sham?" Isis' jaw dropped in shock at the idea. After all, she did follow some conservative ideas. Rocky, on the other hand, was familiar with the idea of arranged marriages, only for the couples to secretly live separately.

"If you don't mind worshiping heaven and earth with me, it's ok." Rocky winked. "As for the wedding night, nobody actually knows what goes on in the room. You mentioned you don't even want to get married anyway, but you are responsible for your father. So, I propose that we pretend to get married, and your father will be able to rest easy. You can continue to live your life separate from mine, until you find someone you truly love," Rocky finished with a flourish, his eyes twinkling.

"It sounds reasonable." Isis nodded in agreement. Even though she thought Rocky's proposal was extremely bold, it seemed to make sense to her, and could solve the current bind they were in.

"But you have to tell me first: why did you suddenly agree to marry me? My father said that you wanted to get the Crimson Dragon Group's support. Is that true?" Even with slight hesitation, Isis knew she needed to know the truth.

"The older, the wiser!" Rocky said with a smile. He thought he'd hidden it well, but of course, Lance had seen through it.

"Yes, it's true. I do need the Crimson Dragon Group's forces to help me do something. Of course, I'd also be of great help for the army..." He trailed off in thought. He decided he needed to be honest with Isis. And as long as he had the support from the Crimson Dragon Group, he could cultivate more forces. And when the time came, he would return to the Imperial City to kill Alston for sweet revenge.

But for now, Rocky knew he needed to keep a low profile, until he found a chance.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Rocky's expression grew serious. He clenched his fist, hatred burning in his eyes.

Isis noticed his change in disposition, sensing the intense emotions emanating from Rocky. She suddenly felt she didn't know him, as though the man who stood before her was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"Can you tell me what you really plan to do?" Isis' brows furrowed in worry. She had an inkling that whatever Rocky wished to do with the forces of the Crimson Dragon Group, it was no small thing. What if, in agreeing to this sham marriage, she inadvertently ended up hurting him?

"I can't tell you now. But when the time is right, you will be the first to know. Is that okay with you?" Rocky asked. He couldn't tell her anything about his identity and everything he experienced, for fear that she wouldn't agree to his proposal.
