The Medallion novel Chapter 1036

As soon as Rocky heard Isis mention Sue, he trembled in anger. He then spoke in a rather gloomy tone, "Sue is dead, and I killed her indirectly."

"What? Dead? Why?" Isis was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing such sad news. At that moment, her eyes were starting to well up with tears.

"It's...It's because of Alston..." Rocky's eyes suddenly became cold and furious after mentioning Alston's name.

"Alston? What does he have anything to do with this?" Isis frowned. Although she didn't know what exactly was going on, she knew it must be related to Rocky's "death".

"Follow me to the next room. You have to know about this. I have something else to explain to you." Soon after, Rocky held Isis in his arms and proceeded to go to the next room.

Upon entering the room, Isis saw that there was another person in the room aside from her father and Marcia. Beautiful and elegant, this other woman had an aura at the Supernal Stage, meaning she was not an ordinary person.

"Basil, do you know who she is?" Isis shifted her gaze to Rocky and asked.

"Well, you must be Isis. I'm Lucilla. Nice to finally meet you!" At that moment, Lucilla appeared to be, as always, well-mannered. On the way, she had heard about Isis, so she had already been mentally prepared for their meeting.

"Likewise. Nice to meet you too." Isis greeted back upon noticing that Lucilla was older than her.

Then, Rocky briefly narrated his experiences in the Timber Deity Empire to Lance and Isis. Of course, he could not miss the chance to tell them about Lucilla's identity and the reason why she was here.

"I didn't expect that the chief of the most powerful clan in the Timber Deity Empire would give up the position of the chief to protect Prince Basil. I really admire your courage!" Lance could not help but exclaim his respect. Although he could see that Lucilla gave up the position of the chief because of Rocky, he sincerely admired her determination and courage for doing it. After all, it was not easy for an extraordinary and influential person in the Timber Deity Empire to give up everything so suddenly and even decide to leave her hometown.

"Well, if you don't mind, I hope we can call and treat each other like sisters and stay with Basil from now on," Isis said to Lucilla nobly. In fact, Lucilla had done so much for Rocky, that Isis didn't find the need to say anything. At that moment, her heart was filled with nothing but gratitude that she was willing to share Rocky with her.

"Sister, are you not bothered by my love for Rocky... No. I mean, Prince Basil? In fact, when I see you, I come to understand why Prince Basil won't easily fall in love with other women," Lucilla remarked. In fact, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, Rocky already had a wife, and his wife was a gorgeous woman who seemed not inferior to her. Therefore, seeing Isis today made her feel uneasy. At that moment, she felt like a home-wrecker. That was why Isis' acceptance shocked her.

"You are not the first one to love him, and I'm sure you won't be the last one. None of this is your fault. In fact, it's his. So, no. I won't mind. I knew long ago that he wouldn't belong to me alone. Now, if you know this by heart, then we won't have any more problems," Isis said straightforwardly.

"Thank you for this, Isis." Lucilla felt her heart warm up after hearing Isis' words.

"Basil, it seems that we need to change our plan now," Marcia said seriously, as she shifted her gaze to Rocky.

"Why now?" Immediately, Rocky's eyes narrowed. Before he returned, Marcia had told him that the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had already known that he was still alive. As a result, Rocky would most certainly go to the Palace City to see the emperor once he came back. Afterwards, he could begin cultivating his forces and take revenge on Alston.

"Prince Basil, before you came back, I just received a secret report from the Palace City that His Majesty has been missing for several days," Lance stated.

"What?" Rocky was shocked upon hearing the news. Never had he expected that the emperor would go missing just when he was about to see him.

"But that's not all. Alston is the acting emperor now. Not only is he in charge of the Holy Dragon Empire, but he also has the support of the entire royal family. Therefore, you can't expose yourself before we find out why His Majesty is missing. More importantly, we can't let Alston know that you are still alive," Marcia stated. If Alston knew that Rocky was still alive, then he would definitely do everything in his power to kill Rocky. In fact, they had to be extra careful when dealing with Alston, especially when he had the support of the whole royal family. With that being said, they couldn't let Alston know that Rocky was still alive.

At that moment, Rocky clenched his fist in frustration. He came back to avenge Alston, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the emperor was missing without a valid reason.

"Marcia told me about what Alston did to you. I didn't expect that it was Alston who framed you and almost killed you. He went out of his way and even disregarded the brotherhood just to destroy you," Lance said angrily.

"Alston is so despicable." Isis also felt the same way.

"I think His Majesty's disappearance has something to do with Alston. He was missing when Alston came back from the Dragon Master Clan. It's definitely not a coincidence!" Marcia speculated.

"If I can't be exposed, then what should I do now?" Rocky asked Marcia after thinking for a while.

"Right now, Alston is the acting emperor. Before we find out why His Majesty is missing, he can only be the acting emperor. Therefore, as long as the reason for His Majesty's disappearance is not found out, Alston can't become the real emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. Moreover, he cannot completely convince the public. Big clans will certainly have doubts, especially the Ximen Clan. Unless Alston can get the support of the Ximen Clan, it will be absolutely difficult for him to be the emperor. That's why we have plenty of time to prepare," Marcia said as she seemed to have a plan in mind.

"If you want to fight with Alston with all your might, you must have more forces behind to support you. Although two of the four legions of the Holy Dragon Empire are on your side, it's still not enough. We still need to win more forces over secretly, but somehow, it will take us a lot of time to prepare. In fact, even Alston can't get the support of all the forces in a short time. Therefore, there will be a war without bullets in the future," Lance stated as he nodded his head.

"So, all I can do now is wait?" At that moment, Rocky immediately understood what Marcia and Lance meant. It seemed that he might have to completely hide himself for some time while waiting for the opportunity to get his revenge.
