The Medallion novel Chapter 1919

"See, Jeffrey? There's no need to make a fuss about it. Just go. That's enough for today," Richard scoffed. His stern voice and forbidding face had brought tension in the air. He found it utterly disrespectful of Jeffrey to overstep and act so aggressively before him, seemingly disregarding the fact that he was the leader of the clan.

"Ha! You're lucky you can get away this time, brat." Jeffrey finally gave in after seeing that their leader had been giving him such a disapproving glance. He knew that it wouldn't do him any good if he kept on hounding Rocky, so he just shot a ferocious glare at him and Vivian. He then ordered his men to bring Ryan with them and hurriedly left.

"Jeffrey has become awfully irritable. Let's hope he can still control himself next time," Alex regretfully remarked.

"Everyone, thank you for coming. You may now go. Alex, Rookie, and Tripp, please stay," Richard instructed right away.

The members of the Wankong Clan who watched Rocky do the procedure did as they were told and started moving towards the exit.

They walked one after another, until there were only Richard, Alex, Rocky, and Vivian left in the hall.

"Rookie, I apologize for all the trouble today. Jeffrey had indeed gone too far. Even I know you're not at fault," Richard quickly assured Rocky. He was afraid that Jeffrey's recent misdeed had an impact on Rocky's thoughts.

"It's not a big deal," Rocky replied nonchalantly. Actually, he did not take it seriously at all.

"That's a relief. It's almost time for your journey to the Ethereal Valley. I hope you can stay in the Spring Cloud Pavilion for the time being so you can focus on your cultivation. Do not worry about anything else. I will arrange whatever you both need." Richard's encouragement was not entirely ambiguous, since he clearly meant something more than what he just said.

Even Rocky understood that the leader wanted them to stay in the pavilion to avoid any more issues.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Richard, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alex, you may send them back."

As Richard had instructed, Alex immediately accompanied Rocky and Vivian out of the hall and back to the pavilion.

"Jeffrey had seriously blown things out of proportion. You had already agreed to cure his nephew even after him tricking you, yet he still put the blame on you. What a despicable man!" On the way to the Spring Cloud Pavilion, Alex could not keep quiet anymore. She had to blow off steam.

"Well, it's typical for someone like him to bully those he doesn't deem a threat," Rocky commented matter-of-factly.

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for all the inconvenience. Let me make it up to you some time," Alex sheepishly offered.

"Please don't worry about it, young master. We're here to give our best in doing our part."

"Alright. Well, you two, go and just focus on your cultivation in seclusion."

After dropping them off at the Spring Cloud Pavilion, Alex went on her way.

Rocky then smiled at Vivian and said, "It seems we're going to be alone together for a while."

Vivian simply rolled her eyes at Rocky.
