"This is all my fault," Woods lamented. "I should have been more careful." He was confident at first that he could successfully attack Evian City. However, his plans did not consider Rocky joining in defense of the Crimson Dragon Army especially when he was wronged by Lance.
"Rocky should not have intervened. We underestimated him. He even managed to escape the assassination and successfully revealed Laney's identity," Alyssa said with resentment. Hearing Rocky's name made her flinch and triggered a deep anger in her. She could not wait actually meeting the man and giving him what he deserved.
"I've warned you about him, Alyssa." Woods was only informed afterwards that Alyssa sent Laney to plan the assassination. When he found out, the plan was already in motion. He could only worry about Rocky. When Laney returned, she informed them that her identity had been exposed and that the assassination had failed. Woods felt a rock get lifted off his chest. Despite everything, he did not want Rocky to die like that.
"He can't run away forever," Alyssa remarked with conviction.
"Your Royal Highness, the Evian City spy sent news." A guard came in with an armful of paper.
Alyssa grabbed the papers and skimmed it. Her eyes widened as she went through the files.
"What happened?" Woods asked after seeing Alyssa's shocked expression.
As a way of response, Alyssa passed the papers to him.
"Rocky is going to marry the daughter of Lance?" Woods shared Alyssa's surprise. "And it's happening soon.
We shouldn't have let go of him before. We should have killed him earlier. As soon as he marries the daughter of Lance, he would become much more powerful than he already is," Alyssa said sternly.
"Do you just want to kill him because you are afraid of losing?" Woods inquired. He knew that Alyssa was already determined to kill Rocky. And, if Alyssa planed something, it was more likely a sure thing to happen. At that point, Rocky's early death was inevitable.
"Are you kidding me? I am not afraid. I just think he's annoying and a nuisance. He had been hiding from us which is frankly cowardly of him. He isn't even brave enough to confront me in the battlefield," Alyssa sneered scornfully, "That's good to hear especially now that you will soon have a chance to fight Rocky face to face," Woods said with a knowing smile.
"What do you mean?" Alyssa asked.
"I just have a strong feeling that Rocky will be taking control of Crimson Dragon Army. Lance wouldn't just let him marry his daughter without a real valuable exchange. Rocky would make a great army leader," Woods speculated.
"It's possible. But I won't let him win, even he has the entire Crimson Dragon Army with him," Alyssa said, clenching her fist.
Woods did not let her rage get to him. He smiled and thought to himself, 'Rocky, you owe me big time. I just saved your life. I will not let you go away easily. And don't you dare fight my sister or else that will be your sure defeat.'
As Woods and Alyssa planned Rocky's defeat, Lance was planning Rocky's wedding with Isis which was scheduled to happen in three days.
Lance had already spoken to Rocky about leading the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army. He would be taking charge right after his marriage with Isis.
