"Master, are you serious? Is he really that talented?" Queenie felt discouraged as she heard Lucas' generous praise. She had always been Lucas' favorite, and now she felt really worthless and inferior. People regarded her as a rare genius at evaluating beasts. But now, her master praised Rocky highly. He never used that praise with anyone else before and it seemed like Lucas was really impressed by Rocky's ability. However, it was her turn to see Rocky in a new light after she saw him perform the Radiance Evaluation Skill and the Stroking Evaluation Skill successively.
Rocky's amazing performance also caught the attention of Alyssa, who was seated at the judge's platform. She stared at him with curiosity and felt that he looked familiar.
Rocky had everyone's attention, including all the other princes in attendance. They were all curious about his identity, most especially Geoffrey, who wanted to recruit such a low-key but outstanding talent like Rocky.
Geoffrey gestured to the servant behind him. Immediately, the servant approached and bowed before Geoffrey. He then whispered something to the servant, and without a word, the servant turned around and left.
"Alyssa, the man is amazing," said Woods, who already knew the identity of Rocky. He noticed that his sister had her eyes on Rocky the moment he went up onto the stage. He watched his sister's actions and looked for clues if she still held a grudge against Rocky. He could not overlook the fact that Rocky destroyed her plan to fight against the Holy Dragon Empire. Although she freed Rocky twice, there was no guarantee that she would not try to kill Rocky once she recognized him. After all, Rocky was Timber Deity Empire's number one enemy.
He had to be cautious, and he needed to know what his sister was up to. He did not want to kill Rocky. He owed Rocky his life and in return he wanted to protect him. On top of everything, Rocky had a secret plan that would benefit him. He knew Rocky would not do anything hastily. He had a plan and that plan could help him ascend to the throne one day. For this reason, he would do anything in his power to protect that plan and Rocky.
"Is he really a beast evaluator of the Cao Clan? He looked vaguely familiar. Since when did the Cao Clan acquired an impressive talent?" Alyssa asked in confusion. She never knew that the Cao Clan took in a young talented beast evaluator, and they had kept him hidden for a long time.
"Who knows? And I feel that he is very similar to that man. They are both extraordinary, don't you think?" Woods answered as he hinted at something.
"That man?" Alyssa was puzzled at first, but soon realized whom Woods spoke of. In an instant, the look on her face became cold and distant. Her eyes could not hide the sudden sadness, and disappointment ensued by the memory that filled her mind.
The pain in her eyes at that moment did not escape Woods' scrutiny. It was not the first time that he had seen it. He had seen the same look in her eyes after she returned from the Holy Dragon Empire. Obviously, it had something to do with Rocky.
