Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 859

"Please don't get the wrong idea, Master Lucas. I only admire Mr. Rookie for his ability. There's nothing more to it," Lucilla explained hurriedly, her face flushed red out of embarrassment. She didn't expect that Lucas would misunderstand that she had a crush on Rocky. But only she knew that she closed her heart long ago and vowed to never open it again for the rest of her life. Therefore, she would never fall in love with any man ever again.

"Chief, you asked me before how to convince him to stay with our clan, right? Forgive my bluntness, but isn't the only reason why we want Mr. Rookie to stay with us because he will be of great help in the future development of the clan? I've thought about it thoroughly over the past few days. I think the only way to keep him here is to win his heart. Believe it or not, if you placed mountains of gold and silver in front of him you still wouldn't be able to change his mind," Lucas reasoned out with the facts.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do to change it. Mr. Rookie may possess extraordinary skills but he keeps a low profile. He's not the type to fall in love and get into a relationship with another." Lucilla voiced out her perspective as a woman.

"I disagree. We all see how kind he's been treating Miss Juey. From the looks of it, he's not as heartless as you think. Since ancient times, heroes have always associated with beauties. How can you know if you never try?" Lucas said as he stroked his beard.

"Even so, it doesn't have to be me! Our clan has no shortage of beautiful women. If Mr. Rookie is the type to fall for such women, then he can have fun with them for as long as he wants to!" Despite what she said, she was still repulsed by the idea—not of Rocky, but the idea of using a woman to seduce and corrupt him. If he did turn out to be such a man, then his image that she held in her heart would be ruined. Men's minds were unpredictable. This was enough reason for her to refuse Lucas' advice.

"It seems you still haven't understood, my chief. I never suggested that you try to seduce him. I just hope that you could consider the thought of him being your husband. Based on his actions over the past few days, I think Mr. Rookie is trustworthy enough. He may have his reasons, but I'm sure they won't have any negative impact on the Cao Clan. In fact, I believe he can help the Cao Clan redeem itself. His strength alone is proof enough. If you could just open your heart and accept him, perhaps he'll reciprocate your feelings," Lucas said, cutting to the chase.

"I don't think he's that kind of man…" While she understood Lucas's good intentions, Lucille was afraid that she couldn't fall in love with another man.

"Are you certain you have no feelings for Mr. Rookie?" Lucas asked with eyes so piercing that they looked as though they were able to see into her mind.

"I...I don't know." Lucilla couldn't deny. Her feelings for Rocky were complicated, but she couldn't deny her admiration for him. Yesterday, Rocky brought her surprises which left quite an impression that she had never experienced before. It was the first time she had met a man with such charm. Indeed, she began to develop a crush on him.

"Please don't rush into any decision, Chief. You don't have to agree with all that I've suggested. They're all just personal opinions. But I hope you can think it over. If Mr. Rookie is the one, I guarantee that you'll never regret it. Time and tide wait for no man. You'd better hurry up. It will be too late if Mr. Rookie leaves our clan." Lucas nodded at Lucilla and then walked away.

Remaining where she stood, Lucilla's eyes followed Lucas until he was out of sight. As she began to imagine Rocky's striking figure on the stage yesterday, the confusion was clear in her eyes. "Is he really worth committing my life to?" she asked herself.

The next day, the final competition of the Beast Master Contest was going to take place as planned.

Rocky became the main topic of the entire capital due to his brilliant performance two days ago. Before the competition, the hall was abuzz with chatter about the breathtaking competition between the Cao Clan's mysterious beast evaluator and Carter. The atmosphere was a very lively one.

Today was the beast curing competition, the final battle between the Cao Clan and the Qi Clan that would determine the winner of the Beast Master Contest. Needless to say, both clans would give it their all this time.

Everyone was looking forward to witnessing this grand battle!
