"He really pissed me off. Tomorrow, I have to tell him that I won't marry Shirley. I'd like to see if he will try and demote me again," knowing he had been used, Rocky felt so angry towards the emperor. He was not the kind of person who was willing to be pushed around.
"No, you cannot do that. Didn't you just give me your word?" Lena said solemnly as she shook her head.
"I am not the old Basil anymore. I won't allow anyone to just push me around," Rocky answered confidently.
"You are not powerful enough to disobey His Majesty. If you do, there will be grave consequences. Everything that you possess will be taken away including the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. If that happens, you will be left with nothing at all. No one will be able to protect you, not even me," Lena said very seriously.
Rocky fell into silence because he could clearly tell that Lena was not kidding judging by the stern look she had on her face.
"I know you are not the old Basil anymore and I know you don't want to be pushed around by others. You have already proven to everyone that you are not a loser but that would not be enough. With the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, you have to climb your way to a higher position. Only then will you have enough power to get rid of all your constraints," Lena said as she tightly held Rocky's hands.
"A higher position..." Rocky's face also grew solemn.
"Yes. There is no doubt that you are an impeccable talent after all these things. No other spirit manipulator's gifts could compare with yours in the entire Wild Spirit Land in all ages, not to mention the dragon spiritual power that you acquired from the Holy Dragon Bead. With these advantages, as long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely become the strongest in the Holy Dragon Empire or even in the entire Wild Spirit Land. No one could ever stand a chance against you. When the time comes, you will get everything you want. You can even be the next emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. But right now, you have to be patient and do whatever His Majesty asks you to do. I want you to promise me that you will. Could you do that? Don't make me worry about you." Lena looked at Rocky so tenderly.
The way she looked at Rocky immediately melted his resolute attitude. He could not refuse her because he understood that Lena said all of that for his own good. He had no reason to say no to her because of her kindness, tenderness, and her reasons. He did not want to disappoint Lena.
"Alright, I promise you. When the day comes that I become the emperor, I won't let you be the Witch anymore," Rocky said confidently.
