Anger burned in Travis' eyes as he stared at Juey and Rocky.
"Mr. Rookie..." Juey called out, looking for answers. She did not expect that she would be the chief of the Xiao Clan. Like a lost child, she looked at Rocky for help.
"Why not express your gratitude to His Royal Highness?" Rocky nodded to Juey.
After she got her bearings straight, Juey bowed to Woods and said, "Thank you so much, Your Royal Highness."
"I look forward to seeing how you will develop the Beast Curing Skill of the Xiao Clan," Woods said with a warm smile. He was joyous not because he was happy for punishing Raef, but because Rocky was alive. Seeing an old friend who he thought died a long time ago, alive and well in front of him sparked an unmatchable joy inside his heart.
"Your Royal Highness, as the chief of the Cao clan, I am also responsible for this accident. I am willing to accept any punishment!" said Lucilla. Though Raef acted on his own accord, his Xiao Clan was affiliated with the Cao Clan, which meant that the latter was also responsible for what transpired. This might make the Cao Clan lose Woods' support, but still, she was adamant to receive the consequences.
"Don't worry, Chief Lucilla. I won't hold you accountable. It's lucky that you have invited me to come over. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will regret not coming here for the rest of my life!" Woods replied with a grin and then looked at Rocky. If he hadn't been here, he wouldn't have found out that Rocky was still alive.
Everyone was confused by what Woods had said. Even Lucilla was at a loss. She noticed that Woods' grin was directed at Rocky as if they were old friends.
"Your Royal Highness, please let the Cao Clan deal with Chief Raef. He endangered not only the name of his clan, but also ours too. For that, he should be severely punished," Lucas said sternly.
"It's up to you," Woods said indifferently. He didn't care about Raef or the Xiao Clan at the moment. What he wanted to know was why Rocky was still alive and how he got in the Cao Clan's mansion. He then gave Rocky a slight nod.
Upon hearing this, the people of the Cao Clan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take Raef out and watch over him closely. We'll decide his fate after the Beast Master Contest," Lucilla said in a cold voice.
Soon, Raef, whose face was as pale as a sheet, was taken out of the hall.
"What about Miss Mary? What are you going to do with her, Your Royal Highness? I guess it was Miss Mary who drugged you," Lucilla asked Woods as she looked at Mary, who was still kneeling on the floor, shaking in fear of what might happen to her.
