The Medallion novel Chapter 1048

"Take off your clothes so I can check if there is anything hidden on you. Only then will I believe you," Mia said coldly as she doubted about Rocky.

"Oh, so, it turns out that Master Mia likes to see men's bodies. Why didn't you tell me earlier, Master Mia?" Rocky responded sarcastically as he tried to tease her.

"Stop fooling around. I just want to double-check if you have stolen anything. And, who even wants to see you and your body? Shame on you!" Mia contradicted with slight fury, but her face blushed a little.

"Look! If you're not, then why is your face turning red? Have I just gotten you?" Rocky kept probing, reluctant to waste such a chance to mock Mia and shame her a bit.

"Are you that tired of being alive? I originally planned to let you go, but now it seems that there is no need. I'll take you to the Ji Clan immediately. Please keep in line!" Mia snorted coldly. At that moment, she was completely irritated and offended by Rocky's words and taunts. Without thinking twice, she stretched her body and approached Rocky with aggression.

At that moment, Rocky also wore a snicker on his face. In fact, seeing someone get angry from embarrassment gave him satisfaction. After all, this was his chance to get back at Mia, who used to play tricks on him before.

"Mia, what brings you here?" Just as Mia was about to make a move, a delicate figure came up from the second floor and interrupted her. It was nobody but Sabina. Soon after, she hurriedly called Mia's attention upon seeing the commotion between Mia and Rocky.

Mia turned around and saw Sabina. Then, she pointed at Rocky and snapped, "This man is a thief. I'm going to catch him."

"Thief?" Sabina immediately put her eyes on Rocky for questioning, but Rocky just shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Oh, Mia. I think you misunderstood. He is not a thief. He is... He's working for me," Sabina explained briefly.

"What? He's working for you? Then would that explain why he is in your Heavenly Frost Pavilion?" Mia cast a confusing glance at Rocky because she didn't completely believe Sabina's words.

"Yes, believe me. I'm telling the truth. His identity should remain confidential, so I always call him here when I need him to do something for me. Please, just forget about him. Why don't we go downstairs and catch up over a cup of tea?" Sabina cast Rocky a sidelong glance as she dragged Mia to the staircase.

At that moment, Mia was very reluctant to go, but she had no choice but to obey Sabina's request. Being a respectful guest, she gave Rocky another deep glance before following Sabina downstairs.

Meanwhile, Rocky was resting with his eyes closed when after two hours, he heard the footsteps coming upstairs. When he opened his eyes, he saw Sabina quietly entering his room. Seeing her, he immediately stood up and asked, "Did Mia leave already?"

"Yeah, she's gone. Didn't she recognize you?" Sabina asked curiously. Upon observing their little moment, she had noticed that Mia talked with Rocky as if she had never seen him before. Thus, she believed that Mia didn't recognize that the man she confronted was Prince Basil.

"Maybe I have changed a lot since then. So, she didn't recognize me at all. Otherwise, we will be in big trouble right now." Rocky smiled with calmness.

"Well, it doesn't really matter even if she finds out who you are. Both her clan and mine are close to my master. In case she finds out your identity, I think that things will be fine as long as you explain to her what's going on. Anyway, we're in the same boat now," Sabina replied. What Rocky didn't know was that Marcia had already made full use of her connections and had secretly gathered the support of many forces. But at this moment, all the forces she gained over were still in the dark. In fact, they weren't aware that Marcia was gaining support for Prince Basil, and not herself.

"Really? I think that's good." Upon hearing this news, Rocky put his heart at rest. At last, there was one less thing to worry about.

"By the way, I got the news that Alston has sent a special envoy to pick up my elder sister." Sabina's eyebrows furrowed as she relayed the news.

"Oh, then we're going to have lots of fun with this one. Sorry, Alston, you're going to be disappointed," Rocky sneered and gave a smirk. He had waited for such a long time to look for troubles in Alston, and here it was. He was not going to waste a precious opportunity to bring a hornet's nest about Alston's ears.

Meanwhile, afternoon came, and the bustling noise and excitement quieted a little. People gathered on both sides of the gate. Most of them were the disciples of the Ji Clan while the rest were those who came to celebrate the birthday.

At that moment, Elvis stood in the middle with several elders surrounding him.

"Here comes the special envoy!" Suddenly, a loud voice echoed from outside the Ji Clan's gate.

Soon, a group of guards in golden armor swarmed orderly from outside, followed by spirit manipulators, who were led by four masters of the Supernal Stage. They didn't march any further and stood in two rows, leaving a path in the middle. Finally, a fifty-year-old man in an exquisite robe slowly walked into the yard. He had an imposing and terrifying manner and, his aura of the Divine Stage was enough to make most of the people present feel demoralized.

"Welcome!" the people standing on both sides immediately shouted all at the same time.

"Come on, you don't have to be so courteous!" The man waved his hand, pretending to be flattered by the warm welcome.

As the people greeted this man, Rocky and Sabina had also slipped into the crowd quietly.

"That is Jason, a master at the first grade of the Divine Stage, and the special envoy Alston sent here to pick up my elder sister. He used to be an elder of a small clan, but later, he was introduced by Priest Dean and became one of Alston's confidants. As a matter of fact, he only carries out missions assigned by Alston. It is known that this man was very cruel and efficient, so Alston attaches great importance to him. Basically, over the past six months, Jason took care of everything whenever they hear a family was against Alston...." Sabina put her lips close to Rocky and whispered.

"He is only at the first grade of the Divine Stage. The Ji Clan should not be afraid of such a lackey, right?" Rocky said with a faint smile.

"Of course. However, Jason is known to be a sinister villain. He can use all kinds of methods. Who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve? We'd better watch our back." Sabina frowned as her eyes scanned Jason.

"Let's wait and see. Don't beat emptily upon the grass, and the snake will be frightened." Rocky smiled as he shared his wisdom.

"I am so honored to have you here," greeted Elvis. Together with the elders, he had come over and stopped in front of Jason. In fact, Jason's strength was no match of Elvis' when it came to their cultivation base. If Jason was not sent here by Alston, then Elvis didn't have to treat him so politely.

As a matter of fact, Elvis even looked so domineering, not inferior to Jason at all. However, they all had to show respect to Jason, not for him, but for the people behind him.

"The pleasure is mine, Chief Elvis. I can't believe that so many people came out to welcome me. I'm flattered," Jason said politely, but it was clear that he was taking everything for granted based on the expression on his face.

"Follow me. This way, please!" Elvis stretched out his hand as he accompanied Jason.

Soon after, the two of them then walked side by side and headed straight to the Celestial Hall, which was especially used to entertain important figures. Meanwhile, other important figures followed behind them as well.

After entering the hall, Elvis and Jason sat side by side on the two seats in front of the hall, while the other big shots sat on both sides.

Jason sat down and leaned backward. He began to talk about the decoration of the hall as if he was at his own home. "This hall is really magnificent! In fact, I see that it's not inferior to the palaces in the Palace City. The Ji Clan is indeed worthy of being called the second largest clan in the Holy Dragon Empire."
