"She is the owner of this house now. It would surprise her to see you here," Woods said playfully.
"Wait! I thought you wanted me to keep a low profile. The fewer people who know who I am, the better, isn't it?" Rocky asked, confused at Woods' sudden suggestion.
"You're right, of course. At present, not only is the Qi Clan keeping an eye on you, but several princes are also inquiring about you everywhere they go. To prevent them from learning your true identity, I suppose it's necessary for her to know who you really are," Woods explained his reasoning.
"Then, what is your plan?" Rocky asked with a quirked brow.
"Haven't you noticed there's a difference between this place and other whorehouses?" Woods recounted with a smile.
Rocky scowled, understanding why Woods had brought him here.
"Stop looking at me like that! Yes, this is not just a whorehouse for dignitaries and distinguished people to have fun. It is an important stronghold Alyssa set up to collect information, similar to what we had in Evian City. The difference is that the clients here are our own people," Woods lowered his voice while looking around.
"Therefore, it's necessary for her to know what's going on. Then she will pay extra attention when people talk about you. We can learn who is interested in you and who is investigating you," Woods elaborated.
His words sounded reasonable. Rocky had attracted a tremendous amount of attention in the Timber Deity Empire. People tended to regard him as one of the Cao Clan after he helped them defeat the Qi Clan and hold on to the seat of first clan in the Timber Deity Empire. In many people's eyes, Rocky was too important to the clan. If anyone were looking for trouble or planned on defeating the clan, they had to know more about Rocky first.
In other words, Rocky's situation was more precarious than he had initially thought. Especially after the Timber Deity Empire's emperor announced that he would be choosing one of the princes to be his successor. Although the Cao Clan had yet to plead their support to a particular prince, the princes would inevitably seek them out to win them over.
"I see. But I don't think it's a good idea for her to see me now." Rocky shook his head with a bitter smile. If Woods learned that his relationship with that woman was much closer than that he was aware of, he would reconsider.
A sudden uproar sounded from downstairs, followed by heavy footsteps. Both of them turned around and saw a tall, fat arrogant looking figure rampantly appear at the stairway at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Behind him stood several Heavenly Stage masters.
"What a coincidence. He has come here too. Is it possible that he is looking for you?" Woods whispered in Rocky's ear, his brows furrowed in surprise.
It was none other than his oldest brother, Algy.
Algy didn't fail to take notice of Woods either. His eyes darkened as they met his brother's. He had already learned that the mysterious beast master from the Cao Clan had defeated his Ghost Lion. Not only that, that beast master was also close to his younger brother Woods. Though, in all fairness, he hadn't come here for his brother. He hadn't even known Woods was here.
Unfortunately, one couldn't really avoid his enemy. Sooner or later they'd run into each other.
"Glad to see you here, Woods." Algy tried to appear pleasantly surprised, but the twitching muscles on his face betrayed his true feelings.
"Nice to see you too, brother. I'm glad to see you here. What a coincidence!" Woods said as he stood up and walked to Algy, the smile on his face not genuine either.
