The longer he spent with the Cao Clan, the more Rocky realized that it truly deserved its reputation as a big family of the Timber Deity Empire. Everyone was dignified and glowing. Their clothes were embroidered with patterns of Cao, announcing their discipleship with the Cao Clan. The Cao Clan was a big family. It had two to three thousand disciples under its control, and there were more affiliated second or third class families. All in all, it made for a powerful force.
Rocky wasn't new to big families. When he was the son-in-law of the Ximen Clan, he had seen just how big they were during his visit. He thought the Ximen Clan was even more powerful than the Cao Clan. After all, the former's leader Bryant was the strongest cultivator of the Immortal Stage. The Ximen Clan, which was under his control, made various clans tremble when they heard its name.
Rocky was almost at the wing house of the Xiao Clan when he saw a group of Cao Clan disciples standing in the middle of the path. They were laughing and joking as if they were seeing something funny.
He looked at them and quickly averted his gaze. He didn't want to involve himself in their idling around. As he walked away, an arrogant voice came from the crowd. "Is that how Cao Clan members treat guests?"
The voice sounded familiar to Rocky. Then, a teasing voice erupted from the crowd. "Miss Mary, our Cao Clan knows how to treat our guests. We are very warm-hearted. In fact, why don't you come with me and let me tour you around to show you our hospitality?"
"Miss Mary, please don't refuse our warm welcome." The crowd hooted.
"Mary?" Rocky's attention was finally caught. He walked towards the direction of the voice and saw Mary with three men beside her. One wore an exquisite robe, who was tall and fat and looked like a playboy. Upon hearing that, Rocky's eyes became fixed at once. Then, he walked towards that direction. Two other men in green clothes circled Mary.
"Mr. Conrad, I'm here on official business. I will take part in the Beast Master Contest. I am not here for fun. Please get out of my way." Mary seemed to not like Mr. Conrad. She must have heard of his reputation.
Mr. Conrad was the only son of Tod, the elder brother of the former chief of the Cao Clan. Tod always ambitioned to be the chief of the clan.
Because Conrad was his only child, Tod spoiled him very much. As a result, Conrad grew up to be arrogant. Tod was in charge of a lot of industries and enjoyed a high position. Conrad had taken advantage of this and had looked down upon everyone.
Apart from that, Conrad also became a well-known playboy. He had simultaneous relationships with various women. As long as a woman caught his eyes, he'd do anything to get her.
It was obvious that Mary had caught Conrad's attention. He had taken her as his target.
"We'll just have fun a bit. It won't take too much time," Conrad insisted. He did not know how to accept no for an answer. He began to flirt with her, even if Mary looked visibly uncomfortable.
"Mr. Conrad, please watch what you're doing." Mary was fuming but was having a difficult time asserting herself. She knew Conrad's father was the backbone of the Cao Clan. He was not someone she should provoke easily.
"What do you mean? I'm not doing anything disrespectful," Conrad replied with an innocent smile. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and started harassing her.
Out of fear, Mary tried to push Conrad away but failed. She was much weaker than Conrad after all.
Mary watched as Conrad took advantage of her. She could only imagine what might happen if she agreed to go somewhere else with him.
