Chapter 577 A Man And A Woman

"Why did you come back?" Marin asked with a slight quiver in her voice.

"Why do you need to know?" Rocky responded coldly.

"I know I wasn't my best self yesterday, but you know it's partly your fault too." Marin wanted to say more but she stopped herself for a while. "Forget it," she remarked sadly. "I understand if you're still angry."

"Just stop it," Rocky said with a sigh. "If you say anything more, I'll throw you into the tunnel." Rocky concluded with an eye roll.

"If you stop being angry with me then I'll crawl into the tunnel," Marin bargained. Her voice was more cheerful than before.

"I'm not mad. Why would I be mad?" Rocky remarked, his voice sounding impatient.

"Are you sure?" Marin knew that she was being unreasonable the day before and that she had treated Rocky wrongly.

"Just go down now. I will have to block these holes." Rocky ignored her questions.

Marin took a quick look at Rocky and observed that he was starting to look less cold. Feeling relieved, she grabbed the rope and went into the hole.

All the Evian City guards had entered the premises. As soon as Rocky noticed this, he summoned three Dark Heaven Insects and commanded them to fill the three holes. After that was accomplished, he disappeared with the three Insects.

On the other side, the Timber Deity Empire forces were being gathered by Woods at the south gate. After half an hour, they were all finally gathered where they had to be.

"What about the casualties?" Woods asked.

He had a deep frown on his face and evident worry in his voice.

"We lost nearly four thousand soldiers. Perhaps it's time to accept that the Evian City guards are stronger than we thought." Woods' face darkened, and he then ordered, "Investigate the current position of the Evian City guards."

The group scattered in different directions. Spirit manipulators ran off with their spirit-manipulated b

"What about you? What will you be doing?" Sabina asked honestly, hoping not to offend Rocky.

"Don't worry. I'll be busy," Rocky said with an ominous smile before he left the inn.

He returned quietly into the headquarters but, before he could, he noticed a soldier peeping at the corner.

Rocky grabbed him by the arm and demanded that he should give his commander's name. The soldier trembled in fear. Rocky was prepared to use force, but quickly the man confessed, "It's Commander Woods!"

Rocky slowly put the man down. "Commander Woods?" he asked in shock. The man attempted to flee but Rocky quickly beat him up. As soon as he was done, he left the place.

Rocky arrived outside a palace in the headquarters. He quietly approached the main hall but stopped at the sight of the guards and the three Heavenly Stage masters.

Before he could be noticed, Rocky ran to the side of the hall and hid underneath a window. From his hiding spot, he heard a man and a woman talking.

"Our plan worked," the woman's voice declared.

"Yes, thanks to your hard work," the man answered. "We easily broke through the three passes without even alarming the Crimson Dragon Army. Soon, we'll take over Evian City." Rocky stopped his breath. The man sounded like Woods.
