"Basil, we will never give up on you no matter what kind of person you claimed to be, okay? Deep down, we know you are lying to us. Plus, we understand that you must be dealing with your own difficulties. With that being said, we will never let you fight alone," Marcia said understandingly. After going through such a life-and-death trial, she had found out that Rocky's apathy and brutality were just a facade. It seemed as if he was trying to conceal something, and the thing was taking its toll on him, putting an unbelievable weight on his shoulders. Therefore, Marcia thought that it was best not to leave his side.
On the other hand, the other women on the spot, including Moira and Cherry, also nodded their heads in agreement.
"Boy, look around you! You are one lucky bastard! Take a look at all these women. They're ready to die for you. I got to admit, you're making me jealous!" Bart teased with a gentle smile on his face.
"Who is he, master? I haven't seen him before." Sabina took a good look at Bart. Upon noticing that he was a strapping spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage, she couldn't help but ask.
"This is Mr. Bart from the Ximen Clan. He was once a famous genius spirit manipulator in the entire Wild Spirit Land," Marcia introduced.
Sabina and the other women were shocked as soon as they heard who he was. Never did they expect that they could meet such a big shot.
Not long after the introduction, Bart took out the slate he had taken out and handed it over to Rocky.
"But sir, this slate..." Rocky saw the slate and looked at Bart with surprised eyes.
"Take it. It's a gift. Time makes it inevitable that the rising generation is worthier than the former ones. Keep this slate. You'll never know when it will become useful to you. Well, I guess it's time for me to leave. I've been locked up in here for more than thirty years, and it's time for me to get out there and see the world again. Oh, by the way, if you see Bryant, please tell him I said hi." After his voice trailed off, he summoned his eight-star dragon beast, and flew up and away towards the sky.
Marcia stared at Bart's receding figure before she said to Rocky, "I didn't expect that someone as famous as Mr. Bart would be imprisoned in the Heavenly Demon Clan for more than thirty years. I mean, it's really unexpected. I'm just so glad that Mr. Bart helped us a lot this time!"
Rocky also nodded. If Bart hadn't saved Marcia for him, then it would have been difficult for Rocky to save Marcia alone.
"Do you have any idea what this slate does or what it is for?" Marcia asked as she looked at the slate in Rocky's hand.
"Look. There is a map, but it only shows half of it. I think it is leading us to a mysterious place," Rocky remarked as he handed the slate over for Marcia to see.
Upon taking the slate, Marcia could not believe at what she saw.
"Is there something wrong?" Rocky asked as soon as he saw the strange look on Marcia's face.
"Just come with me. I'll explain." Marcia quickly grabbed Rocky's arm after hesitating for a while.
At that moment, Rocky already knew that Marcia was going to clarify things that had confused him before, so he went to a remote place not far away with Marcia alone so as to give them more privacy.
"So, what is it you want to tell me?" Rocky asked right away.
Out of the blue, Marcia glanced at Rocky with meaningful eyes and proceeded to turn around to untie her clothes.
"Hold up! What are you doing?" Rocky took a step back.
"Oh, please, it's not what you think. Do you still remember the pattern on my back?" Marcia said at once with her back to Rocky. Her clothes slipped down, and in the blink of an eye, Rocky was looking at a naked body in front of him.
