Chapter 387 An Impudent Bird

Speaking of the devil, and Rocky showed up in a flutter of an eye. His showing up was undoubtedly a surprise for Lance and Commanders! It left them open-mouthed.

"Rocky, we were on the threshold of searching for you, and here you are..." Lance's eyes grew sharp when he got a glimpse of Rocky coming in. Although he was yet ill-humored for Rocky turning down his promotion in public, being Commander in Chief of Crimson Dragon Group, he should keep the overall interests of the country in mind and attempt not to hold Rocky accountable, since the situation was top priority now and Rocky was the best choice in his hour of demand. The next thing was to determine if Rocky would work side by side with him.

"Commander in Chief, no need to give the low-down to me further. I have understood everything about the prevailing situation. But I have to state that I will not give your promotion a whirl as being a Commander or General. I'd like to do you a favor. Before that, we have to be of the same opinion with each other first. Even brothers desire to do accounts accurately. We shall lay out conditions. So, you make me aware of what I will get in compensation if I do you a favor..." Rocky said smartly as a whip. Before Lance uttered a word, Rocky stretched out his hand to stop him, putting on a bargaining posture.

Lance didn't pursue to lay the liability on Rocky just now, but his face fell, seeing Rocky's philistine's profanity. A light of air rage shone from his eyes. No one considered as absolute that one of Three Great Generals in Holy Dragon Empire was cocked a snook at! With a head of chilly perspiration, each of Commanders was beaming at Rocky and guessed he would get in a tight corner. They reckoned Rocky chose the improper time to negotiate with Commander in Chief and hoped to get some advances from the war on this precarious occasion. How can he pluck up the tenacity to threaten Lance, one of Three Great Generals!

If it weren't at this crucial moment, Lance would have already flown into a towering rage. It was as plain as a pikestaff that Rocky was out of conduct to show no high opinion for Commander in Chief. Lance would throw the books at him by striking him hundreds of times and sentence him into prison for years if it was in other conditions. Lance was cudgeling his brains if Rocky would be so presumptuous at that time.

This idea flashed across Lance's mind, and he became conscious he had many ways to inflict pain on Rocky. However, the Crimson Dragon Army was driven to the last-ditch, and he had to identify the mechanisms to r

more. He made a few contributions and then became too pretentious. How can he have the audacity to ask the Commander in Chief for benefits? He is such a man of hubris!" a Commander echoed who was given a drubbing by Rocky in Army Flag Contest.

Other Commanders were at a loss of words, but Rocky could tell the ill-temper in their eyes. Even the Elite Commander who mentioned Rocky just now was shaking his head, sighing. One with talent was constantly with peculiar temper, which suggested to be a universal rule.

But Lance seemed to become apprehensive of something extraordinary from Rocky and was getting an inkling that Rocky acted this deliberately. So Lance was pondering if Rocky had his own plan to act like this. He was doing this on purpose. What on earth would he intend to do?

After deliberate consideration, Lance responded, "Leave us alone. I'd like to teach him a lesson by myself."

After a few seconds of halt, Commanders realized what their Commander in Chief would do and sniffed at Rocky. They reasoned Rocky asked for this because no one plucked up the courage to irritate Lance. This was an appalling thing, and everyone in the Hall bowed and left, except Rocky.

Only Rocky and Lance were in the Hall now. Lance's face turned calm as the smoothest waters and asked Rocky in puzzlement, "Boy, what are you doing?"

"Commander in Chief, please don't be in high dudgeon. I have to act like this, just in case," Rocky said seriously, and his big-headedness had gone away.

"Just in case?" Lance said with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Don't you perceive something out of the common, Commander in Chief?" Rocky grinned from ear to ear, and an elusive light grew in his eyes.
