Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 676

"Well, lucky for you I don't have the heart to kill such a beautiful girl like you," Rocky joked, giving Laney a wide smile.

"Cut the crap! Tell me the real reason! Why?!" Laney couldn't help but exclaim. She stared at him while adding more strength on the dagger, making Rocky's neck ooze with a river of blood.

"You want the truth? Okay, let me tell you. We have grown very close despite being enemies before. Although I will stop at nothing to achieve my goal, I'm not ruthless enough to kill a woman to whom I made love. Besides, I don't think you deserve to die. You are just Alyssa's pawn. If I kill you, someone else will still take over your post and continue to assassinate me. So, there is really no difference whether I kill you or not, right? And to tell you honestly, I was more than excited to meet you," Rocky informed. His eyes were intense as he stared at Laney with a grin painted on his lips.

"Did you already know I would come for you?" Although quite surprised, Laney understood what he meant by that.

"Of course, I knew you would come for me, especially when I knew Alyssa sent you to the side of Blood Lord Leo to help him deal with me. I think you wouldn't miss such a good opportunity for revenge!" Rocky's tone was nonchalant.

"So why did you still come here alone? I'm well-prepared this time. You are closely hemmed on all sides that I doubt you could still escape even if you grew a pair of wings. The threat on the Timber Deity Empire will only be gone once I finally kill you," Laney sneered, tilting her head to get a clearer view of the expression etched on Rocky's face.

However, while staring at him, she felt a hand tightly wrapping her waist and pulling her to a firm chest. Suddenly, she felt a soft breath against her hair. Their distance was just too close, causing her to hold her breath. Her cheeks popped red like a cherry, and her legs wobbled like jelly.

"Let go of me, or I will kill you!" Laney snapped at him, trying her best to shrug off the tingling sensation she just felt by firmly grasping onto her dagger.

"If you wanted to kill me, you would have already done it.

What have I done to deserve death? Reflect on that, and once you do, don't hesitate to find me. I'll be around the corner. Oh and, Laney, Blood Lord Leo is not a good guy. You should be more careful around him." Finishing his words, Rocky waved his hand and left immediately, leaving Laney in a state of trance.

For a while, she just stood there, blankly staring at nothing while her legs remained wobbly. "Ahm...Miss Laney, should we go after him and catch him?" asked a woman at the Heavenly Stage, who appeared beside Laney.
