The Cao Clan disciples ran away in a hurry, abandoning Conrad in Rocky's hands. Rocky lifted him up as Mary stood beside them, her heart fluttering in fear.
"Boss, please! Have mercy on me. It's all my fault! I failed to recognize you. I shouldn't have offended you. Please! Please forgive me! Spare me, I beg you. If you want, I can give this girl to you instead," Conrad pleaded with desperation. Fear flooded his eyes. He was genuinely afraid that Rocky would harm him. Conrad was surprised at Rocky's extraordinary strength even though he looked like an ordinary man.
Not far away, Raef and other Xiao Clan members heard the noise. They rushed out to see what happened. They were shocked at the sight of Mary looking ravaged and Conrad being lifted into the air.
"Mary, are you okay?" Juey stepped forward to ask.
The rest of the Xiao Clan members turned to look at Rocky and Conrad.
"Is that who I think it is? Mr. Conrad? The only son of the hall leader Tod of the Cao Clan?" Raef gasped as soon as he recognized Conrad. He was also the cousin of Chief Lucilla, the current leader of the Cao Clan. Conrad's father was the elder brother of Chief Lucilla's father. Raef looked at Rocky with horror. He knew Rocky shouldn't have messed with the Cao Clan. How dare he harm Conrad?
If only Rocky wasn't affiliated with the Xiao Clan, then Raef could have easily turned a blind eye. But he knew that Rocky's actions would also harm the entire clan. The Xiao Clan would be compromised.
With that in mind, Raef stepped forward and called out to Rocky. "Mr. Rookie, please put him down!" he ordered. "We can't hurt him! Don't put the Xiao Clan in big trouble!"
"Raef, is he your man? How dare he be so rude to me! If I tell my father, the Xiao Clan will be doomed!" Conrad could tell that Rocky was from the Xiao Clan just by how worried Raef was. Immediately, he found his exit. Since pleading did not work, he chose the route of intimidation.
"Mr. Conrad, this young man isn't really a member of the Xiao Clan." Raef tried to distance himself from Rocky but couldn't figure out how.
"Damn Rookie! Just free Mr. Conrad now!" Travis added. Travis hated Rocky to death. Since Rocky appeared, the Xiao Clan had not seen peace. There were troubles each day. He once even made the mistake of hurting Travis. And now with Rocky going against Conrad, Travis knew they were in for more troubles. For Travis, Rocky had the intention to destroy their clan.
Travis was Raef's adopted son. He knew that this gave him very little influence in the Xiao Clan. There was no chance that he would take control in the future. He was used to the feeling of humiliation. But with him qualifying for the upcoming Beast Master Contest, he had earned a platform. He thought that once he made a great success in the contest, he could draw the support of the Cao Clan. In this way, he would get the chance to be the head of the Xiao Clan. Therefore, the contest meant a lot to him.
However, Rocky kept on causing them troubles. A few more of those and the Xiao Clan might get disqualified from the contest. If that happened, Travis' plan would be ruined. He had to make sure that it wouldn't happen.
