"Chief Lucilla, you have to consider it well. If you and your people dare to meddle in this matter, your whole clan will definitely be uprooted from the Timber Deity Empire tomorrow," Geoffrey said threateningly.
Lucilla narrowed her eyes. In fact, she had already considered the consequences before she came. She didn't want to implicate the Cao Clan, but still had to save Rocky.
"Cao Clan, listen to order! No matter what happens next, no one is allowed to interfere! From now on, everything I do is my own business and has nothing to do with the clan!" She swept her gaze over the members of her clan before eventually fixating it on Queenie. "Queenie, come here."
Although Queenie was puzzled, she still came forward.
"Queenie, from now on, you're the chief of the Cao Clan. Keep this token. It represents our clan's chief's identity." Lucilla took out a purple gold token and put it in her sister's hand.
"Sister?" Lucilla had worked hard for this position for a decade, so it really came as a shock to Queenie that her sister would give up the position so easily!
She naturally wasn't the only one to feel astonished. Lucas and other members of the Cao Clan, as well as Geoffrey and Algy, were also shocked by Lucilla's abrupt decision.
"Your Royal Highness, are you satisfied now?" Lucilla turned to look at Geoffrey and asked.
Geoffrey's eyes darkened. Fury was etched on his face.
"I don't want to be the chief at all! I also want to save that bastard! Whoever wants to be the chief can take it right now. I don't give a damn!" Queenie immediately threw the token backward, completely not caring about where or whom it landed on. She put on a determined look as if she was ready to risk everything to save Rocky.
"Master Lucas..." Lucilla looked at Lucas, hoping that Lucas would take the token and thus the position over.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Although Lucilla's sudden decision surprised him, Lucas could understand why she did so. He asked that just to make sure she was already resolute.
Lucilla answered with an earnest nod.
"All right then!" Since Lucilla had made up her mind, Lucas knew that saying anything further would only be a waste of breath. He just directly turned to face the members of the Cao Clan and said, "Everyone, retreat now! Our Cao Clan can't and won't interfere in this matter..."
Upon hearing this command, the members of the Cao Clan looked at each other doubtfully, but still retreated as commanded.
"Queenie, we should go," Lucas, who saw that Queenie didn't budge, promptly said.
"I don't want to leave." Queenie shook her head willfully.
Nevertheless, Lucas naturally wouldn't let Queenie do as she wished. He directly lifted her up from Robin's body and then moved more than ten meters to the back along with the members of the Cao Clan.
"Why are you doing this?" Rocky said with a bitter smile. He never thought that Lucilla would give up her chief position just to save him. In fact, he was completely able to escape by himself. Now, however, this abrupt scene changed everything.
