"Before going to the Ximen Mansion, I sent people to pick up Lena from Palace City. If everything goes well, you will be reunited with her soon," Marcia said.
It was only after hearing this that Rocky breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry now was Lena's safety. After all, Alston was a truly despicable man. Now that he knew that Rocky was still alive, he would definitely use any means possible to kill Rocky, including using Lena as bait.
"I'm leaving now," Marcia added. Then, she nodded at everyone and left the hall.
Following her departure, the entire hall went quiet, and a sense of anxiety loomed over all of them.
After a while, Rocky noticed Flint staring at him strangely. Unable to ignore it any longer, he turned to Flint and said, "Hey, dude, you've been staring at me this whole time. Did you fall in love with me because I saved you?"
Flint, who was drinking tea, spat out the tea in his mouth and coughed violently. The people in the hall could not help bursting out into laughter, which finally eased the serious atmosphere.
"Flint, just ignore him! Nothing decent comes out of his mouth," Sabina grumbled.
"I still don't believe that you are the Basil whom I knew years ago," Flint said coldly after a moment of silence.
"I'm not the Basil I used to be. That Basil died a long time ago." Rocky's eyes darkened.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged knowing glances. They had already guessed that Rocky must have overcome a lot after leaving the Palace City. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to survive, let alone become as strong as he was now.
"I can't even connect you with the Basil I used to know. You've changed a lot. When I received General Marcia's order to go to Wal City to support you, I didn't even recognize you at first. I didn't expect you to be Prince Basil," said Mia, who had been silent so far.
Everyone's gaze once again turned to Rocky, this time tinted with a hint of serious respect.
A while later, Marcia walked into the hall again, returning from the Dragon Valley. However, there was a solemn expression on her face.
"What's happening?" Rocky asked her at once.
"The elders are all cultivating in seclusion. They won't come out until three days later," Marcia replied with a frown.
"Three days? But anything could happen within three days." Elvis frowned, shaking his head.
"It seems that we have to be the enemies of the whole royal family. We don't have a choice. Even if we don't take action, Alston definitely will," Sabina said as she clenched her fists.
"How about this? I can send Laney to ask Master Lucas to send us some masters from the Cao Clan for support. Besides, the new emperor of the Timber Deity Empire is also on Basil's side. Maybe they can help," Lucilla suggested immediately.
"Although they support Basil, this is the business of the Holy Dragon Empire, so we can't ask people from another country to help. Besides, it will take them at least three days to get here anyway. By then, everything may have been settled," Marcia replied, squinting her eyes in thought.
Upon hearing this, Lucilla turned to Rocky for his opinion.
"General Marcia is right. Don't bother Woods and the Cao Clan," Rocky said as he nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, something occurred to Marcia and she looked around in a hurry. "Hasn't Lena come back yet?" she asked worriedly.
