"Queenie, you must have misunderstood. But I have never sent anyone to spy on the Cao Clan. Besides, we both know that your sister is so intelligent and wise that she would never let her guard down to allow me to send a spy to the Cao Clan," Tate answered straightforwardly with a stern look.
"Of course I know my sister is very smart and I knew you would say that," Queenie responded quickly with a look of disbelief.
"Queenie, do you have any solid evidence that can prove that he's a member of the Qi Clan? Do you really think he belongs to the Qi Clan only because he is in the Qi Clan's Spirit Treasure Hall? Is that the only evidence you have?" Tate questioned immediately. The expression on his face was still hard as a rock.
Queenie was also stunned. The words of Tate got her thinking for a moment. She couldn't help but glance at Rocky. In all honesty, she did not have any solid evidence indeed to prove that Rocky was a spy. But if he was not a spy, why would he appear in the Spirit Treasure Hall?
"Rector, would you tell us what is he doing in the Spirit Treasure Hall?" Tate asked, after he glanced at Rocky.
"Well, he is supposedly here to sell different kinds of things," Rector replied quickly.
"He's here to sell things? Is that so? If that is the case, then why did he sneak into the VIP room?" Queenie asked. She still didn't believe that what they were saying was true.
"Well, it's because he doesn't like to expose his identity, so he handed over the items to us and asked us to help him sell them through an auction. Besides, these items are very rare treasures, so we treat him as a distinguished guest," Rector answered nonchalantly.
Queenie was stunned when she noticed how easy it was for Rector to answer her questions. The way Rector answered made her wonder whether she really misunderstood Rocky.
"Rector, I will leave the items here with you." Rocky didn't want to get involved in such a predicament. He was already swamped with other matters, so he didn't want to be bothered further. After he finished saying his words, he was ready to leave.
As for Tate, he noticed that Rocky was different from the others as soon as he entered the room. Tate had a keen and observant eye because of his long years of experience in this country. In this country, everyone knew who Tate was. People would immediately show great respect when they met him. Some people flattered him, while others showed fear on their face because they were afraid to see him. However, Rocky had not looked at him from the moment he came into the room until now. Interestingly, his eyes were always fixed on Queenie. While Queenie had just suspected that Rocky was a spy sent to the Cao Clan by the Qi Clan, which meant that there was a possibility that he and Queenie knew each other. But Tate thought that maybe there was indeed a chance that he came from the Cao Clan.
"Sir, don't go yet. Please wait..." Tate uttered all of a sudden when he saw that Rocky was about to leave.
However, Rocky continued to walk past Tate as if he didn't hear him.
Tate got a little infuriated when he saw that Rocky ignored his words. He immediately beckoned several attendants behind him to stop Rocky from leaving. The several attendants at the Heavenly Stage immediately gathered aggressively around Rocky.
When she saw that Tate had asked his men to immediately seize Rocky, Queenie was astounded. She wondered if she was wrong and if she really misunderstood Rocky.
"Is this the way you treat your guests properly? Is this the common courtesy here?" When he saw that he was being seized, Rocky looked at Tate calmly and his face could not be read.
"Please don't get us wrong, sir. I just want to ask you some questions for clarification," Tate uttered with a coy smile.
"Go ahead then," Rocky said expressionlessly as he rolled his hands into fists at his side.
"Are you from the Cao Clan?" Tate asked immediately and directly.
"No. I am not from the Cao Clan," Rocky answered as he shook his head.
"Then please enlighten us as to why Queenie said that you are a spy sent to the Cao Clan by the Qi Clan?" Of course, Tate didn't believe what Rocky said. There was something about Rocky's demeanor that made Tate doubt him.
