The Medallion novel Chapter 51

Hearing that Marcia wanted to have a private talk with him, Rocky had a bitter smile and shrugged. He turned around and had a look at the crowd that stared at him and Marcia. They were gossiping about them. He didn't seem to care as he strutted away with Marcia. Marcia, a well-respected and well-known general, didn't beat him hard, which meant that she had given him enough face in public. The crowd didn't know the truth and obviously thought that there was a special relationship between them.

"Master Mia, what on earth is going on? Why does General Marcia want to talk with that Basil?" The officials in the crowd asked, completely baffled. Those two people were supposed to be from two different worlds. They should never have got any chance to meet each other. Even if they knew each other, how could the mighty general be willing to talk to an insignificant civilian like Basil?

Just like the officials, Mia was at a loss and shook her head blankly.

The fact remained that nearly one thousand people at the dragon field were stunned, with their mouth agape. Other than watching them leave, there was hardly anything they could do.

Rocky followed Marcia. He was anxious as Marcia had been silent all the way. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Unable to tolerate the silence, he walked a few steps forward. He could not stop himself and asked, "Excuse me! Marcia, why were you looking for me?"

"If I tell you that I want to kill you, so that you keep your mouth shut forever and also to prevent the revelation of my secret, how would you react?" Marcia asked jokingly. She turned around and steered her attention to Rocky. However, from the serious look on her face, Rocky felt that she was not joking at all.

"I've kept my mouth shut and never told anyone your secret!" Rocky protested and looked completely innocent.

"But, I'm still worried that my secret might leak out as long as you are alive." Marcia squinted at Rocky coldly. All of a sudden, the glint in her beautiful eyes disappeared.

"Well, before you kill me, please take this," Rocky added at once. Calmly he took out two bottles of the magical saliva from the pocket inside his robe and handed them to Marcia.

"What is inside the bottles?" Marcia seemed to know the answer, yet she feigned ignorance and asked Rocky.

"You had mentioned earlier that you wanted this miracle liquid. I kept that in mind and managed to get two bottles for you," answered Rocky honestly.

Rocky's words made Marcia's heart pound like a drum. She had come to find Rocky as she was determined to kill him. She clearly told Rocky what she wanted to do. But neither was Rocky afraid nor worried for his life. Rather he was offering her two bottles of the miracle liquid she had been always longing for. She felt that she was wrong.

She also had a deep understanding of the magical effect of the miracle liquid. Even a single drop of such a liquid would have amazing effects, and here Rocky was ready to give away two bottles to her. Based on her judgment, if he sold a bottle of the miracle liquid, he could definitely get rich. It would be right to say that Rocky was being too generous to her.
