After, Rocky briefly updated Carla with all that he knew about the Shura Race and the Godly Geniuses. He even revealed to her that he was actually Basil.
Carla's eyes were as wide as saucers and her mouth slightly open from the great shock when she learned the truth about everything. Although she was prepared, it was hard for her to conceal her feelings after hearing all of this straight from Rocky's mouth. She never would've thought that the person standing in front of her was Basil, the man she had been missing day and night.
"I've hidden all of this from you for so long. Please forgive me!" Rocky begged for sympathy as he awkwardly scratched his head.
"I was unaware you had experienced all of this after you disappeared..." Carla felt her heart breaking into jagged pieces as she realized all of the terrible experiences he had to endure.
"Don't mention it. What's most important is that we stop these Godly Geniuses of the Shura Race. Although I will participate in the last round as Basil, I can't expose my identity for the time being. I'll need your help to prevent most of the Godly Geniuses from entering the final round."
"Of course! I'll do my best."
Afterward, Rocky, Colton, Jaiden, and the two women discussed the actions to take during the fifth round to achieve their goal.
Since the Godly Genius of the Blood Fief was eliminated by Israel, only seven Godly Geniuses remained excluding Rocky. Among them, Valeria and Gloria were on his side. This meant that only five Godly Geniuses had to be taken care of. Israel was the strongest among them and he would undoubtedly make it to the final round.
Rocky was determined to stop the other four Godly Geniuses during the fifth round.
"However, with our strength, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to stop them," Eunice expressed worriedly.
"Although you're not strong enough to stop them, you can help Valeria and Gloria," Rocky mentioned. He already conjured up a plan to put everything into place.
"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
"Oh, it's simple. In the next round, the chief of the Di Clan has already arranged for a battle for survival. This plays to your advantage to help carry out the plan."
"That's great to know. We can handle it!" Eunice explained with excitement.
"Cool. I'm going to talk to Valeria and Gloria now to inform them that you'll secretly help them with the plan," he immediately replied.
"Wait. Won't they suspect you?" Carla asked as she looked at Rocky.
"No, they won't. Don't worry about it." Rocky shook his head in reply. Immediately after, he left the Di Clan and secretly returned to the manor.
He wasted no time and found Valeria still anxiously waiting for his news.
Valeria was surprised to see him but felt a huge wave of relief wash over her.
"Are you alright? I thought something horrible happened to you," she asked and admitted in a gentle voice. Worry was written all over her face.
"Nothing serious. I just had an accident in the Holy Heaven Palace..." Rocky shook his head, trying his best to soothe her.
"But why did you disappear all of a sudden?" Valeria asked, still confused.
"I wasn't missing. I don't know why but I was just transferred to another place. It took me a lot of effort to escape and return," he said as he revealed the truth, to some degree.
"Really?" Valeria was still skeptical about the whole thing.
"You don't believe me?" Rocky asked her, his gaze locked on hers.
"Of course I do! But the chief of the Di Clan has disqualified you from the fifth round!" Valeria reminded him, her tone full of pity.
