Chapter 819 Who Is He

Just then, Woods became delirious. He started muttering incomprehensible words.

Mary glanced at Juey with a sense of guilt.

"Juey, don't blame me. I'm sorry but I have to sacrifice you for the future of the Xiao Clan!" Mary unfolded her guilt as she left Juey beside Woods.

When Woods became conscious, his eyes flickered like burning flames.

Juey remained unconscious because of the frame-up from her father and sister. Suddenly, a ghost-like figure entered the room. It reached out its arm and attacked the vital point on Woods' chest to knock him out. It then picked up a quilt and covered Juey with it.

'I still can't believe Raef had the audacity to target the prince. I'm sure he's heard of the prince before, otherwise he wouldn't have been so daring. He even used his own daughter! And Mary actually agreed to it. She is indeed a cold hearted woman. If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have rescued her from Conrad, ' the figure thought. The figure was no one else but Rocky. He'd been observing Woods secretly when he attended the banquet. Since then, he had also watched Mary's every move. He saw Mary send Woods to his room. Rocky figured Raef was behind it, although he didn't expect that his actions would be so low. He intended to threaten Woods with this, just so the Xiao Clan could gain reputation.

Above all, Raef shouldn't have taken advantage of Juey. She was already half an apprentice of Rocky. She also looked like Sue, to whom Rocky felt indebted. Every time he looked at Juey, he remembered Sue, so he could not help but treat her like his sister as well. Rocky couldn't let Raef use her to achieve his evil goal. Soon, he'd suffer the consequences of Rocky's rage.

th a confused look on his face, he asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Do you really want to know?" There was a small chuckle in the man's voice.

"Have we met before? You remind me of someone I know. But he's dead now and it's impossible for him to come back to life." Woods shook his head dejectedly.

"Perhaps God is just making fun of people. Nothing is impossible, after all," the figure mocked. "Actually, I wanted to spark some memories with you. But I have to deal with something first. If you want to know who I am, return to the Cao mansion. You'll have to do it alone so you better wait until dawn. This mountain is crawling with beasts. It's dangerous for you to go out now." After that, the figure disappeared silently like a ghost.

Woods felt even more confused. As he stood alone in the mountain, he wanted to know the man's identity, so he had decided to start his journey to the Cao mansion. His solitude made him think that maybe it was all just an illusion. Perhaps his mind was playing tricks on him, or that the person was just making an amusement out of him. Either way, he had to return to the Cao mansion.
