"See you later, sister. Don't come back too late." Woods was a little surprised that Alyssa had taken away Rocky in front of so many people. Since his sister saved Rocky from Tate, who was trying to kill him, he was assured that he didn't have to worry too much about what his sister would do to Rocky after she abducted him. On the contrary, he thought that there could be something interesting that was happening between his sister and Rocky. Of course, it was none of his business, as he knew that it was just a grudge between them, and the doer was responsible for undoing what he had done. Therefore, he did not need to do anything, and he should just stay back and watch what would happen next.
He walked from the judge's platform to the round platform and soon arrived at its center, staring back at the people who were still in a state of shock. He declared with a smile, "Today's competition is over. As for the result of the last round, it will be announced tomorrow. You all may leave now."
The crowd burst in an uproar instantly, as no one seemed to be willing to leave because they wanted to know why Princess Alyssa of the Timber Deity Empire suddenly took away the mysterious Cao Clan's beast master.
Seeing that no one was willing to leave, Woods shook his head and grinned bitterly. It seemed that everyone was shocked at her sister's actions. Who would not be? Their princess just kidnapped the man before their very eyes. But he had no intention of explaining for her.
"Your Royal Highness, why did Princess Alyssa injure my son?" Alexander asked Woods in anger after he went to the round platform to check on Tate's wound.
"Why? Do you still need to ask why? Everyone here saw what he was about to do. You should ask your son why he suddenly attacked the beast master of the Cao Clan." Woods had planned to ignore the Qi Clan because what Tate did to Rocky was unforgivable, but for Samson's sake, he planned to deal with
ddy didn't go with the crowd, as they seemed to have other plans. Alyssa and Rocky sat on the back of the giant spirit-manipulated beast far away from the Qi mansion, saying nothing.
Although Rocky was kidnapped by Alyssa, he had looked very calm while it was happening. And Alyssa had stared at him with such a strange and complicated expression as if the single look amounted to a thousand words and years of history between them.
It was natural for her to have that reaction because she had believed that Rocky was dead for a long time, and the clue that could remove the curse from her was lost. Hence, she felt discouraged. From an objective point of view, Rocky's death was good for the Timber Deity Empire and its plans. But for her, his death was like her last hope that had been dashed, because Rocky, whom she had been trying so hard to look for, was the clue that could remove the curse from her.
Hence, during the period of Rocky's death, Alyssa had been disconcerted by a complex and strong feeling. It was the first time that she had felt it, and she had been so troubled like her heart was occupied by something invisible and untouchable.
Although her mind settled as still water, she couldn't help but think of Rocky from time to time. It had never happened to her before.
