"That's right. But this is going to be unfair to you!" Realizing the gravity of the situation, Hannah knew that if Rocky fought as the representative of the Sword Spirit Sect, she would probably really marry him. When that happened, he would definitely be promoted to a higher position within the sect. However, since he won disguised as a representative of another sect, it would be a very different case. She worried that he might not even get anything in return.
"You don't have to mind me. As a member of the Sword Spirit City, I decided to do this for the sake of the city and the sect. I don't feel any injustice at all," Rocky said calmly.
"My father told me that he would do his best to make it up to you. If you want anything, please feel free to ask. We will agree with it as long as it is within our capabilities." Hannah knew that Rocky had contributed significantly to the Sword Spirit Sect, so she felt that he deserved to be rewarded handsomely.
"Let's talk about that at a later time. Although I've won the competition, I'm afraid that the Grand Sky Sect wouldn't give up that easily. Let's focus on holding the wedding first and going through the current trouble first." Rocky presumed that since the plan of the Grand Sky Sect had failed miserably, and they also lost an outstanding talent in the process, they probably wouldn't just stand idly.
"That's right. As long as they don't have any evidence to prove what we have done, they will have no excuse to cause any trouble," Hannah agreed.
"Well, let's hope for the best. I'm going to leave now. Oh! Remember to come to my place tomorrow. I will inject the last dose of the gene serum into you, so don't forget," Rocky said as he went on his way.
Looking at the receding figure of Rocky, Hannah couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, marrying him is a good choice!"
After saying that, she also went in the other direction.
However, just when the two of them left, a furtive figure suddenly sneaked out of the Medical Service Hall.
"So, Basil pretended to be the representative of the Heaven Shadow Pavilion, huh? I should quickly go and tell this to Master Miguel! He will definitely reward me for this piece of information!” the figure said as he instantly disappeared into the dark.
Not long after, Miguel finally learned the truth regarding Rocky's fake identity.
"What is he thinking? I didn't expect the leader to ask Basil to take on such a task! Now, he's really going to let that bastard marry Hannah?" Miguel couldn't help but exclaim in exasperation.
"Master Miguel, I think that this is going to be a huge problem. Although Basil is hiding in the identity of the representative of the Heaven Shadow Pavilion, this secret can't be kept for long. Sooner or later, he will officially become Miss Hannah's husband. Miss Hannah is still Master Timothy's biological daughter. If somehow, she tried hard to convince her father, Basil might even become the next sect leader in the future. You will lose all power when that happens," one of Miguel's trusted subordinates said.
"I know. I can't let them get married. I have to stop it at all costs!" Miguel declared resentfully.
"Basil has killed Knox of the Grand Sky Sect. I'm sure that their members hate him to the core. I think it will be a good move if we let them know the truth about Basil's false identity. With that, they will definitely take action against Basil. Eventually, Master Timothy will have to weigh the overall situation, and hand Basil over to them!" Miguel's subordinate speculated.
"Good idea! I'll leave that matter to you. Be sure to find someone that can serve as a witness. When everything's done, you can just let the guy who sent us the information become the scapegoat," Miguel said with a sinister smile.
"I will arrange it right away. It's time to teach that Basil a lesson," the subordinate also replied with a malicious smile.
Meanwhile, in the Grand Sky Sect, Benedict and an elder of the Sovereign Sect were having a conversation in a magnificent hall.
It turned out that Benedict was being scolded because of the recent events. He just showed an apologetic smile and didn't dare to answer rashly.
"If you hadn't asked Knox to participate in that competition, he would still be alive. What a waste of talent it is! You should know that the Sovereign Pavilion spent a lot of time and resources to train him. Now that we've lost him, how are you going to explain this to the leader of the Sovereign Pavilion?" the elder of the Sovereign Pavilion sternly reprimanded Benedict.
"Please calm down. There is nothing we can do right now. Since Knox is already dead, nothing can change that fact. However, I still think that there was something wrong with what happened in that competition. I've already sent someone to the Heaven Shadow Pavilion to confirm something. I don't think that the person who killed Knox is their member. Otherwise, Knox wouldn't be killed mercilessly," Benedict remarked with certainty.
"Then who the hell is that guy? Why would he disguise himself as a member of the Heaven Shadow Pavilion?" the elder asked.
"I don't know yet, but I have a strong feeling that he has something to do with the Sword Spirit Sect," Benedict briefly replied.
"The Sword Spirit Sect? Are you sure about that? You should find pieces of evidence first before you spout those things."
"We're working on that. And if we can prove that the person who killed Knox is really linked to the Sword Spirit Sect, then we can take that opportunity to launch an attack to that vile sect!" Benedict said as his eyes immediately darkened.
"Then, be sure that you can find something. You won't be able to do anything just from baseless accusations," the elder said with a bit of hesitation.
