Chapter 823 Hitting Her When She Is Down

All the people who were present in the area were surprised to see that someone dared to hurt the two disciples of the Cao Clan in public. They turned their astounded eyes to the person who was walking towards Juey.

"Mr. Rookie?" Lucilla was the first to recognize the approaching figure. It was none other than the famous Rocky. Prior to this moment, she had sent people to bring the members of the Xiao Clan to meet her and she had also ordered people to look for him. However, she was surprised when she found out that the man was not in his room. The situation made her feel strange towards him. Lucilla even suspected that he might have something to do with Woods' disappearance. Since she had to interrogate the Xiao Clan members, she planned to order people to find Rocky as well and take him to her after the interrogation. But she was surprised since she did not expect that he would suddenly appear.

"Mr. Rookie..." Juey felt her body tremble as soon as she saw Rocky. Her eyes began to turn red and her face was painted with the expression of despair and depression.

"Don't be afraid. You are safe. I'm here with you." Rocky walked up to Juey and gave her a comforting and reassuring look. He stared at Juey's eyes as if he was saying that everything would be alright. When Juey met his gaze, she calmed down immediately.

"Excuse me! Who are you? How dare you hurt my men..." As soon as Tod saw Rocky, he trembled as rage filled his body. He immediately glared at him and everyone could see the fury in his eyes. Of course, he also found out that Rocky was not a member of the Cao Clan. This looked a little suspicious for Tod.

"Hall Leader Tod, that is the man who insulted and embarrassed Mr. Conrad," reported one of the several men who followed Tod. He was one of the two attendants who accompanied Conrad last time.

"Oh, is that him? His arrival is perfect and just in time. What a man full of arrogance and gut! He even dared to insult and embarrass my son. He is just asking for a death sentence. Drag him out of here and cut his hands and feet immediately. I'll deal with him when I get back." Tod stared at Rocky with fury in his eyes and continued, "Take these people of the Xiao Clan away too. I'll punish them to pieces later."

Raef was shocked when he heard what Tod said. He hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded, "Hall Leader Tod, the prince's disappeara

g to prioritize is to find the prince..." Lucas said in a low and hushed voice. Woods had disappeared, and some members of the Cao Clan began to rebel and riot. It would be extremely disadvantageous for the Cao Clan if they kept on fighting among themselves. Thus, Lucas thought that it was better and more strategic to put the interests of the whole situation above everything else.

When she heard what Lucas had said, Lucilla stopped in her tracks and just stared at Tod furiously.

"Take him away!" Tod shouted at his men as they were about to take Rocky away.

At this moment, all the people present were worried about Rocky. The people knew that Tod was famous for his viciousness and ruthlessness. If people offended him by any means, they would be surely put to death. Hence, if Rocky was taken away by Tod and his men, he would probably be killed.

Even Juey was looking at Rocky with despair and worry. But she knew she could not do anything because no one would even listen to her.

Rocky was still standing there. He looked surprisingly calm, as if he was waiting for something.

Tod even got more furious when he saw that Rocky was still composed and calm even though he was about to be taken away for interrogation. His men immediately took action as they were about to capture Rocky as Tod commanded.

All of a sudden, a figure appeared outside the Magnificent Hall. The figure saw that Rocky was about to be captured. At that moment, the figure trembled and hurriedly entered the hall. Then, he shouted in a deep and booming voice, "Stop! Who dare to catch his man?"
