Chapter 824 Everyone Confused

The scene they were witnessing seemed to be too familiar for everyone. Not long ago, Rocky also showed up in the same way as he did today.

However, the people knew something was different this time around. When everyone looked to the direction where the booming sound came, the expression on their faces froze immediately.

"Who the fuck is..." cursed Tod. But as soon as he turned to the direction of the sound, his face immediately turned from green to dark, which was unbearable to see.

"Your Royal Highness..." The next moment, a loud scream broke out in the large hall for everyone to hear.

The man who showed up in time was Woods that rushed back to the Cao mansion. At this moment, Woods looked somewhat discomfited, with his clothes all scratched and dirty.

But at that moment, what concerned Woods was that the man's back in front of him was the one he saw under the moonlight just a few hours ago.

"Who are you?" Woods asked Rocky whose back was facing him.

Everyone was confused when they heard what Woods said. They did not understand what Woods meant by his words.

At once, Rocky slowly came to his senses. As his senses came back, a faint smile appeared on his lips because everything was going according to his plan.

Rocky's plan since the beginning was to set up a trap for Raef. His plan was to make the prince disappear in a disguise, and then return at the most critical moment. Rocky thought that Woods' return and appearance in the hall would surely make the whole event turn around.

Of course, the time Rocky was anticipating the most was when he showed his real identity to Woods. In fact, he was excited to see Woods' reaction after knowing that he was still alive!

As for why Rocky let Woods come back alone, it was also a part of the plan to test Woods. Rocky had come to the capital in an attempt to look for Woods' assistance. Before that he needed to be sure whether Woods could be trusted. After all, what he asked Woods to do for him would have a great impact on him in the future, so he had to really make sure. That's why he intentionally made Woods suspicious of his identity at first, but he also tantalized and asked Woods to return to the Cao Clan when the time was right. He wanted to see first how important he was to Woods. If Woods arrived at the Cao mansion as expected, it would mean that he still held an important positio

ately said these words to embarrass and humiliate Tod in front of many people.

Tod became scared when he heard what Woods said. He knew he had already offended Woods and Princess Alyssa was still behind him. Even if he dared to offend Woods, he couldn't afford to offend the princess too, unless he wanted to die. He immediately knelt down to Woods and cried, "No, I won't, absolutely not! I dare not!"

"That's good. Then apologize now!" Woods took Tod's scared demeanor for granted and nodded.

Tod turned around to look at Rocky. He knew he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize, "Mr. Rookie, please forgive me and the misunderstanding that happened between us just now! A great man rarely stoops to pettiness! I sincerely apologize."

All the people felt astounded when they saw that Tod apologized to Rocky. After all Tod was famous for being arrogant and he didn't even give a damn to Lucilla who was the chief of the Cao Clan. Of course, they didn't understand the reason why Woods wanted him to apologize to Rocky. In addition to that, Tod was famous in the Timber Deity Empire. If this matter spread out like wildfire, Tod would surely become a laughingstock in the kingdom.

What the people didn't know was that Rocky was the savior of Woods. For Woods, Rocky was a treasure that was completely recovered. So Woods made sure to never allow anyone else to have a share of that treasure. He would never let go of anyone who dared to take advantage of Rocky, not to mention Tod, even if he was a chief of a clan or some important person in the Timber Deity Empire!
