"Hey, come with me," Ramon said to Rocky as he wore a serious expression on his face.
Rocky quickly nodded and informed Tessa, "Nightshade's condition has basically stabilized already, but I still need to disinfect its wound and put on the necessary medication every day. So, I guess I'll be coming here every morning from now on."
"All right. Thank you very much for all your help," Tessa replied with a bright smile on her face.
"No. I should be the one thanking you for introducing me to a new job," Rocky said before he finally followed Ramon.
Then, shortly after, the two of them left the Fragrance Pavilion.
"Brat, you can't fool me. What's your real purpose?" Ramon asked coldly. As soon as they got out of the pavilion, Ramon's strong spiritual aura suddenly rose and enveloped him.
"Purpose for? I can't follow what you're talking about." Rocky pretended to be ignorant and denied everything that Ramon was speculating.
"I don't think you are who you claimed to be. Besides, didn't you say yesterday that your ribs were broken? Why does it seem that you didn't suffer any injury at all? What stunt are you trying to pull off?" Ramon tried to grill him until he folded.
"Well, I'm not a doctor, so I can't really say if I'm injured or not. It just felt that something was wrong in my body at that time. I'm actually glad that it turns out to be nothing serious," Rocky answered with a bit of a supercilious expression.
"Humph! I'm warning you, brat. If I learn that you are up to something, you won't get away with this." Ramon wasn't stupid, and he knew that Rocky was also the cunning type. Thus, he instantly got annoyed that he couldn't corner the newbie. At the same time, he also knew that Rocky had already gained Tessa's trust, which meant that he couldn't just do anything rash. All he could do right now was to keep an eye on Rocky and look for a chance to expose him. As long as Ramon could find some dirt on him, he could easily kick him out of the Sword Spirit City.
After a while, Rocky and Ramon reached the beast farm where they had been yesterday. When the man in charge saw Ramon, he quickly rushed towards him and said, "Captain Ramon, the person you brought here yesterday suddenly disappear..." Before he could even finish his sentence, he saw Rocky appear from behind Ramon. He was instantly stunned and was rendered speechless for a brief moment.
"Yeah. It turns out that he's alright. From now on, he will be working here on the beast farm. But you don't need to be polite to him. Just order him around and make sure that he does his job well," Ramon ordered as he scoffed coldly.
"Yes, captain! Don't worry about it." The man in charge was still actually a bit confused but he immediately responded without asking any question.
Ramon glanced and snorted at Rocky before he finally left the beast farm.
"I'm Basil. Nice to meet you!" Rocky cupped his hands as he introduced himself to the man.
"Basil, huh? Okay, come with me." The man then waved his hand and signaled Rocky to follow him. Although he didn't know why the guy, who suddenly disappeared yesterday, was now assigned to work in the beast farm, he had no choice but to obey since it was a direct order from his superior.
With that, Rocky followed closely behind him.
Then, the man accompanied Rocky around the beast farm and made him familiarize himself with everything that was in there. He also told him about some matters that needed continuous attention and other basic things that he needed to know. After a brief tour of the place, he gave Rocky a task, asking him to clean the farm and feed the spiritual beasts.
