Chapter 600 An Expectation

By now, Sabina had realized that she overreacted. She internally reasoned with herself that this was all because she had been given orders to protect Rocky. That was all. However, she couldn't ignore how her emotions bubbling up inside her heart.

After a moment of hesitation, she stepped toward Sue and gingerly took her hand. "She's going to ride back with me. It's more convenient that way," Sabina said firmly, locking eyes with Rocky.

Sue was taken aback by Sabina's actions. Unable to utter a word, she embarrassedly looked to Rocky for further instructions.

Seeing Sue's worried eyes, Rocky gave a nonchalant laugh. "Relax! She might look like it, but she doesn't eat people. Do what you're told. Just follow her. Don't worry," Rocky ended with a wink, crossing his arms over his chest. He didn't seem to be bothered by Sabina's suggestion.

Sue apprehensively glanced between Rocky and Sabina a couple of times before finally resigning herself to Sabina. Looking to the ground, she said softly, "Thank you for taking care of me."

"No one will take you for dumb if you don't speak," Sabina said haughtily to Rocky, casting him another glare before mounting on Duchess Silver with Sue. Together, they took off into the sky.

Rocky jumped onto Uriah, following closely behind them back to the camp.

When they arrived, Rocky immediately had Sue sent back to Isis Pavilion, and then went in search of Sheridan. He hadn't seen Sheridan since the battle started, and since Sheridan promised to give him a hand, Rocky needed to find him. After an intense search, Rocky couldn't seem to find him, so he resigned himself to returning to the beast farm. Rocky figured he must've been in the beast farm, but to his surprise, Sheridan wasn't there either.

"The old geezer must be hanging around some women," Rocky surmised, shaking his head at the thought.

He soon gave up searching for Sheridan and resigned himself to the idea of cultivating and studying the Sea Blue Magic Jade at the same time on Isis' jade bed in the Isis Pavilion.

Rocky couldn't spare any

o protect him.

"So you mean, you have no idea that she's the apprentice of Marcia, one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire?" Allen asked incredulously, his confusion growing by the second.

"What? Sabina is Marcia's apprentice?" Rocky exclaimed in dismay. What he just heard was far beyond his imagination. If what Allen was saying was true, then it must've been Marcia who sent Sabina to protect him. But why would Marcia want to protect him? Rocky was in this difficult situation because of her, not to mention all the hardships he'd been through on the Gehenna Border. He couldn't understand why Marcia would sent her apprentice to watch over him, unless maybe to spy on him or for some other reason.

"You didn't know that either?" Seeing that Rocky had no idea what he was talking about, Allen sighed. It seemed Allen wouldn't be able to find the answers he was seeking.

"Well, I know now," Rocky said coldly. Rocky felt rage surging within him, anger flashing on his eyes. With a stone-faced expression, he brushed past Allen, without bidding him farewell.

"What the hell is this..." Allen could tangibly feel Rocky's anger when he brushed against him, but he was confused as to why he was angry. He had just come here to find out about his niece, but now he was left more confused than before. He shook his head with a sigh, wondering where he went wrong.
