Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 679

Rocky soon realized that Isis only asked about his age to divert his attention, attempting to stop him from sulking with his brooding eyes. Although it looked a little clumsy, her sweet gesture definitely moved him.

After a few hours of riding on Uriah, the two of them finally arrived at the main camp of the front line. As soon as they got off Uriah, a guard approached and greeted them, "Greetings, Commander in Chief Rocky and Deputy Commander in Chief Isis. His Royal Highness and Commander in Chief Lance have been waiting for you in the tent."

"Let's go." Rocky nodded at Isis and then strode forward. Although a fierce storm would come his way, he still appeared calm and collected.

Upon arriving inside the tent, they caught sight of Lance, Alston, and several Elite Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army. Apparently, Alston was going to dominate this meeting.

The moment Rocky set foot inside the tent, Alston's eyes turned sharp, like two daggers aiming at him. Although Rocky had physically changed a lot, there was no way Alston couldn't recognize him at first sight.

As for Rocky, he had mixed feelings about this. Although they had different mothers, the two were half-brothers by blood. And yet, Alston still had set up a trap to frame him shamelessly. No matter how angry and vengeful Rocky was, at this moment, he chose to calm down. After all, he couldn't act on impulse. Much to Rocky's expectation, Alston was nowhere near surprise to see him. This only meant that Alston must be fully aware of his identity and prepared to take him down. Although quite alarmed, Rocky knew better than to act recklessly at this point.

However, as soon as their eyes met, sparks instantly flew out, as if the two distinct forces collided violently. The atmosphere inside the tent seemed to gradually turn dark with the two of them exuding dominant and regal auras that could only be carried by royalties.

Everyone else inside felt slightly intimidated––even Lance, who was familiar with the two, was utterly silent. In their eyes, the two were like two mighty dragons who were about to brawl––tit for tat, an eye for an eye.

'I have always felt a special and familiar temperament on Rocky. Now, I finally understand what it is. He has the same royal presence as Alston. Is it possible that Rocky really comes from the royal family?' Lance thought to himself.

"Rocky..." Isis, like the others, was also perplexed at Rocky's sudden strange behavior. Placing her hand on his arm, she bowed to Alston and said, "Pleased to meet you, Your Royal Highness!"

"Miss Isis, long time no see! Your beauty is still so timeless. You know, my brothers all like you very much, Miss Isis. It's a pity that Rocky has won your heart. What a lucky guy he is!" Alston exclaimed with a broad smile before turning to look at Rocky.

However, Rocky met his gaze with a nonchalant, cold face, obviously not a bit browbeaten by the prince.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't think you will be interested in such a place filled with hypocrites," replied Rocky, raising his eyebrows.

A hint of anger flashed through Alston's eyes, as he was aware that Rocky was clearly mocking him. Clenching his fist, he tried to remain calm, but seeing how much Rocky had changed irritated him even more. If it were the old Rocky, he would've certainly argued with him by now. But Rocky stood calm and composed, although fury was building up inside him.

'I didn't expect that in more than a year, he has grown so fast. No wonder Lance has placed great importance to him, and even let him marry his daughter. He is really not simple!' Alston thought to himself. He seemed to have found a new appraisal of Rocky, but still didn't think the young man could pose as a threat to him. If he wanted Rocky to die, the latter wouldn't survive a second.

But of course, Alston wouldn't just recklessly kill Rocky out in the open. He was Lance's son-in-law and the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group. If he died unexpectedly, the morale of the entire army would suffer significantly. The Crimson Dragon Group was currently in a war with the Timber Deity Empire, and if the Commander in Chief died, it would turn battle around, with the enemy possibly taking advantage of it. Although he wanted to kill Rocky as soon as he could, he couldn't risk it and let the Timber Deity Empire take this opportunity to threaten the Holy Dragon Empire. Therefore, Alston was more than eager to defeat the Timber Deity Empire and utterly make Rocky disappear from the world. This way, he'd practically hit two birds with one stone––gaining the support of his people and eliminating the imposing threat to him.

However, much to Alston's bewilderment, Rocky had always been aware of his plan. Although the time was yet to be set, Rocky knew that an unavoidable fight was destined to befall on them. And fighting a conniving and scheming influential man like Alston would definitely not be a child's play.

Yet, no matter what tricks Alston had up his sleeves, Rocky would find a way to get even with him, making sure that the former got a taste of his own medicine.
