Chapter 399 The Show Begins

Rocky was cognizant so well about Isis and Marin. Although they consistently regarded him with condescension and wore enraged looks in front of him, they literally had helped him a number of times under the table. The time he turned down Lance's offer, if not because of Isis, he would have already been cast out to the frontline battlefield. While he was in the northeast military camp, he disappeared now and again, which contravened the military law. However, Marin always turned a blind eye to that. If anyone else had done such an action, Marin would have punished them conforming to the military law.

Besides, Sheridan was close to Isis and Marin and treated them well as if they were his own daughters. If Sheridan knew that Rocky didn't grant them any support, he would without doubt nag at Rocky about that for a long time. Because of all those grounds, he would not sit by when Isis and Marin were in danger, although he was not such a meddlesome character. Deep inside, Rocky actually was a man who gratified the inclinations of people. Yet, he always showed a cynical attitude in front of the others.

Apart from those elements above, Rocky had another fundamental reason for lending them a hand. Isis was in charge of an army, and her father was at a high position and had predominant power in the Holy Dragon Empire, all of which would be in his best influences to his future. If the whole Crimson Dragon Group owed him big time, he would get his mitts on the support of the Crimson Dragon Group. Thus, he had to give his affirmation to Isis' well-being. After all, she played the ultimate important part of his strategy. He set his eyes on being a substantial figure in this world. Rocky kept developing and discovering from what happened to him since his spirit passed through the tunnel of time and space and drifted into this younger body. After coming across so much, he didn't wish to be manipulated by anyone anymore. He wanted to be the maker and master of his destiny.

Every time he showed up and came to their aid at the most critical moment, both Lance and Isis felt so grateful to him, which was exactly what Rocky had been planning. No matter how hardhearted a person was, he or she would appreciate him for saving them out of danger one time after another. So long as he came to their aid again, they would owe him one more time. After all, nothing in the world would be more of incalculable value than life.

The reason why he gave the thumbs down to be Frontline Commander was also that he preferred them to owe him. Once he accepted that offer, what he had done now would turn into finishing his own duty. In other words, he could earn nothing at all. He didn't want to work for the Crimson Dragon Group without reaping any reward. What's more, he didn't give a tinker's curse the position as a Frontline Commande

rated. That's the key of our plan. They will get cold feet at anything we do and have nothing to do us. Under such a circumstance, they will not hold on for a long. They will leave sooner or later." A snaky smile crept over the corner of Rocky's lips, as if everything of the Timber Deity Army was already under his control.

"Forget that! If you want, you can wear that kind of clothes. Marin and I will on no occasion put on such garments! That's just a show! We just pretend to be that kind of girls! Remember that!" Isis glowered at Rocky. She could not believe that Rocky would offer such a ridiculous suggestion. She and Marin already discarded their pride to agree with putting on that play on top of the city wall. How could they accept being dressed like prostitutes?

"Whatever! It's just my piece of advice. Now I am the leader of the two thousand soldiers. You and Commander Marin can have the preparation. The show will begin in no time!" Rocky shrugged with a faint smile. He just made a joke with her about the "revealing outfits" part. Once Lance knew that his daughter and niece put on such clothes in public because of Rocky, Rocky would only be dead meat. How could he fulfill his great plan then? After concluding his sentence, Rocky walked past Isis and took in charge of the two thousand soldiers she brought back.

Isis shot a deadly glare at Rocky's back. Her brows creased and she clenched her teeth to suppress her desire to beat Rocky right now. However, Rocky played the most important role for them. Whether they could save the Wild Heaven Pass out of danger all depended on Rocky now. Thus, Isis made up her mind to give vent to her anger at Rocky after getting through the current dilemma.

"Rocky, once I found out any mistakes you made or any of your secrets, I would never show you any mercy!" Isis spoke in hushed tones to herself before she came to Marin.
