The Medallion novel Chapter 42

"Is this... W-what is this?" Bear's face turned blue as he saw his Lion Eagle pressed under Uriah almost to the point of dying. Bear feared for his Lion Eagle thinking it was on the brink of death. He was then naturally overwhelmed with remorse. If he had known it was bound to happen, he wouldn't have provoked Rocky. But what he was more curious about was what this large animal was.

"What do you mean? It is my war beast," Rocky replied as he held his arms across his chest.

Rocky's words immediately dropped the jaws of Bear and the other young men, because as far as they knew, Rocky's war beast was a tiny little thing that was as weak as its master. However, that little thing had turned into an enormous animal within only a month. More importantly, it had defeated a three-star war beast in a fight in a truly mesmerizing fashion.

"That is nonsense! That can't be your war beast." Bear was unconvinced because he believed it was impossible for a war beast to grow that fast.

"Is that so? Uriah, tear this Lion Eagle's wing for me," Rocky commanded in a cold voice.

Without the slightest hesitation, Uriah gripped the Lion Eagle's wing with its teeth in an attempt to tear it apart. The Lion Eagle cried out in pain as it lay on the ground. The scene was so miserable that it was very hard to watch.

"Alright, I believe you... I believe you... Please show some mercy!" Bear asked for forgiveness as he saw his beast crying in pain. He was slowly falling into a depressive state himself.

"Remember! You shouldn't be messing with me." Rocky darted an annihilating look towards Bear. Since he didn't want to get into trouble, he ordered Uriah to stop and immediately left with him.

"Bear, are you going to let him go that easily? Though your war beast couldn't stand a chance against his, you definitely have enough power to pack him up," the other young men shouted. Seeing Bear who used to be domineering lose his temper, they all defended him against the injustice.

"Shut up. What do you mean my war beast didn't stand a chance against his? It sneaked up on my Lion Eagle and attacked it. If they had gone toe-to toe with one another, my Lion Eagle would surely have a landslide victory. It really bothers me to teach him a lesson myself. However, anyone who dares to bully the Ximen Clan always comes to no good end. I'll tell Shirley about all of this when I go home... Then, I'll watch him die before my own eyes," Bear said with a bad grace as his eyes glimmered with malevolence.

Because of Uriah, Rocky was no longer in the mood to go to the kitchen, so he directly returned to the bamboo grove. He then instructed Uriah with authority. He didn't pursue the matter any longer for he didn't want to discourage it from saving him. Actually, what really bothered Rocky was that the exposure of Uriah could cause them trouble.

As expected, rumors about Uriah began to spread, but the truth was distorted by people who had concealed intentions. Deliberately, they wrongly told people that Uriah was a bad egg that always launched despicable sneak attacks. What's more, Uriah was described to be stupid and arrogant.

Though what Uriah did was far from a sneak attack, some people, with ulterior motives, added highly colored details to the story. As a result, some combative young men even sent Rocky letters to challenge him in beast battles, but Rocky chose to ignore them all.
