Chapter 617 An Expectation

"We got a news that Miss Laney was kidnapped here, so... But what on earth happened? Miss Laney, why did you..." Those figures looked at the clothes scattered on the ground with little confusion and couldn't guess at all.

"I'm fine. My identity has been known to all, so I can't stay in Evian City any longer. We have to go back to the Timber Deity Empire right now," said Laney. She shook her head very calmly and then went out of the cave while wrapping her robe more tightly. But soon she turned around and said, "You better forget what you saw just now. If anyone dares to disclose it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes, Miss Laney. We obey as you say." Those figures cupped their hands and bowed hurriedly.

Soon Laney left the cave and disappeared in the dim moonlight under the protection of these figures.

As Rocky walked out of the dense jungle with tall dark conifers, he looked at Laney and other figures disappearing. Rocky sneered and said to himself, "You must be curious to know why I didn't kill you? You are still useful for me. I would rather keep you alive than kill you. Maybe you can be a trump card of mine." After that he disappeared from the land of tall trees in the jungle.

Lance had already asked someone to deliver the information to Isis informing her that Rocky was back.

Isis had been sending people to look for Rocky during the period that he was missing. So when she heard that Rocky was back, she finally felt relieved. Meanwhile, she went back to the base camp as soon as she got the news because Lance wanted to meet her urgently.

After returning to the base camp, she went straight to Lance's study.

His study was this vast room with mild yellow light and wooden cabinets. Isis always met her father there when she had to talk in person.

"Father... I'm here," said Isis as soon as she entered Lance's study. Lance was stuck at a moment of contemplation when Isis arrived.

"You are back! Thank God," said Lance. With a kind fatherly smile, he was very happy to see his daughter after long.

"Is there anything important that you want to say as you asked me to meet you urgently?" asked Isis. She knew that her father would not call her back in such a hurry, unless the matter was of much importance.

Isis raised her brows with desperation to know what he had to tell her. She was confused.

Lance nodded gently. Then he stood up and walked to the bay window on the north. He sighed, looking a little bit worried. He tried to speak out, but ended up mumbling few words.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Is there anything bothering you?" Isis asked anxiously.

"Isis, do you think we can win in this final battle? I know we have worked hard," Lance asked by staring into his daughter's eyes.

"If we use the power of the Elite Regim

n exposed yet. I can tell from his eyes that he wants to get the forces of the Crimson Dragon Group..." Lance shook his head and continued, "Isis, if Rocky marries you, he will be able to get everything he wants and the Crimson Dragon Group will also have the trump card to defeat the Timber Deity Empire. Moreover, I believe that he is a nice person at heart and he will treat you pretty well. What more do you want? Besides, you can lie to others, but not to me, your father. I know that you liked him from the very beginning."

On hearing this, Isis trembled with fear and anxiety. She didn't dare to look straight into her father's eyes.

"Just as I expected." Lance was not sure about it before. But now he had known the answer from his daughter's behavior and added, "Isis, my method may be a little sneaky. But I am willing to do anything for you and for the future of the Crimson Dragon Group. I have your best interests in mind. I won't do any harm. So, please think about it seriously. If you still don't agree with me, I will make another plan. But think!" Lance knew that he couldn't force Isis to agree on this. He decided to leave her alone for a while to think in peace.

Isis' mind was very complicated at this very moment as she did not want to compel Rocky to do anything he didn't like. But her father was right, at present the Crimson Dragon Group needed Rocky. Her feeling for Rocky was truly different from others. Although it was not that strong, it was undeniable that there was indeed a love relationship between them. She always liked for his bravery and strength.

Isis lost her head when she realized that she was about to marry a man who was still strange to her. All of a sudden she didn't know what to do with him at all. But at the same time, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope deep down in her heart. She didn't know how to make a decision...
