The Medallion novel Chapter 1728

"Ha-ha! It seems that you are really determined to make me fall in love with you no matter what," Rocky said in a teasing tone as he chuckled.

"Yes! I am serious about that. Now, tell me your answer," Gloria demanded to know his answer as she wore a serious expression on her face.

"Well, maybe. We'll see..." Rocky answered ambiguously before he turned around again and left.

After Rocky got out of the hall, Adrian and Gloria were left alone, and they began to ponder and discuss the issue at hand.

"So, what do you think of his plan?" Adrian asked as he stroked his chin.

"It is like a double-edged sword. Once it succeeds, it will really solve our problem and erase the biggest threat of all—the Primitive Fief. However, if it fails and the Primitive Fief discovers about this plan, we will fall into an even greater passive position. But of course, it is really tempting," Gloria replied as she analyzed every angle of Rocky's proposal.

"Yes, that is true. The plan is too risky, but at the same time, it's very intriguing! It feels like I will always wonder what could have happened if we did not agree to it." Although Adrian had always been cautious, he felt a strong urge to lean into it.

"Father, it's up to you to make the decision. Whatever you decide on, I will respect it." Gloria was well-aware that this matter should be dealt with seriously and with the utmost caution since it would affect the future of the entire Genie Fief. There was no room to be rash at this point.

"All right. Let me think it over. For now, you go and take a rest." Adrian then waved his hand and gestured to his daughter that she could leave.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already returned to the Ghost Palace. However, before he could even take a seat, Valeria came rushing in.

"I heard that the leader of the Genie Fief brought his daughter here to make you marry her. Is that true?"

"Well, yes. The news really travels that fast, huh?" Rocky said with a faint smile.

"What?! Shame on them!" Upon hearing it from Rocky's own mouth, Valeria instantly grew furious.

"Can you blame them? In order to win in the end, they need to do whatever they can. Moreover, since Miss Gloria's name is in the engagement covenant, they are actually eligible to demand a marriage," Rocky said indifferently.

"Humph! I think you just really want to marry her!" Valeria was instantly pissed off that Rocky did not seem to side with her. It was as if she was very jealous that her fiance entertained the thought of being married to another woman.

"Hey! Any gentleman can fall in love with such a beautiful lady as Miss Gloria. She's very charming and gorgeous, so anyone would want to marry her," Rocky immediately teased as he found it funny to make Valeria angrier.

"I knew it. All men are just the same!" Valeria snorted coldly as she rolled her eye at Rocky.

"However, I am not that easy to win over. Of course, I have set a condition if they want to proceed with the marriage. And unless the leader of the Genie Fief agrees to it, there will be no wedding," Rocky said as he let out a cunning smile.

"Do you really plan to ally yourselves with the Genie Fief? You are going to be in big trouble because my adoptive mother will never agree to that!" Valeria reminded sternly.

"I am well aware of that. That is why I made an impossible demand. No matter how desperate they are, the leader of the Genie Fief will not agree to it," Rocky replied.

"What did you say to them?" Valeria asked out of curiosity. She could not guess what possible condition Rocky could have set that made him so confident.

"I said that if Miss Gloria really wants to marry me, she'll have to break all her ties to her family and the Genie Fief," Rocky said with a smirk.

Upon hearing Rocky's words, Valeria was rendered speechless. It never crossed her mind that Rocky would be capable of issuing such a cruel request. Of course, no one in their right state of mind would agree that his daughter would be permanently taken away from him. In other words, Adrian would never consider agreeing with Rocky's demands.

"I must admit that you really are something. It seems that you don't like her that much," Valeria softly mumbled. Somehow, she felt a little better after knowing that Rocky also did not want to be married to Gloria.

"Well, I do like her. But that isn't important since I am the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. I have to put the overall interests of our fief at all times," Rocky said as he convinced Valeria that he was on their side.

"If that is the case, then the Genie Fief should give up soon enough, right?" Valeria asked in a rather hopeful tone.

"Well, that is not necessarily the case. Because of what I did, there is a huge tendency that the leader of the Genie Fief would use this as an excuse to go against us," Rocky replied as he shook his head.

"Humph! How dare he?" Valeria quickly shouted.

"As I said, he is the leader of a fief. Of course, he will do anything convenient for them," Rocky said with a shrug.
