Chapter 907 Be My Friend

Meanwhile, night fell, and Rocky had almost finished dictating the whole plan to Juey while she wrote it down.

"Did you understand? Is everything clear?" Rocky asked as he fixed his eyes on Juey.

"Yes. But I'm afraid that I can't carry out this complex plan with my current state. You, on the other hand, can carry it out easily," Juey responded as she doubted her abilities. Meanwhile, Juey was surprised by Rocky's plan. In fact, she had always thought that ordinary people could not even begin to devise such an elaborate plan. But when it came to Rocky, she never even doubted that he was able to construct a huge plan with ease.

"I just want you to know that I cannot stay in the Timber Deity Empire for too long. If it weren't for some particular reasons, then I might have already left this place. That's why you are here today. I am training you with the hopes of helping me with the things that I can't do once I leave the Timber Deity Empire," Rocky said in a straightforward manner.

"I am willing to do anything for you no matter how difficult things get as long as you believe and trust in me. Mr. Rookie, I will do anything. But the only thing I don't ever want to do is... to let you go," Juey said in a melancholic tone. Although she had not spent that much time with Rocky, she had already begun to be reliant on him in some way. At that moment, all she knew was that she didn't want to leave him, even though she knew that one day, he would leave her.

"Don't worry. Just do what you need to do, and I will meet you again one day," Rocky replied smoothly. In fact, giving her that kind of assurance made Juey feel a sense of relief.

"Take good care of yourself, okay? I'm leaving tomorrow, and I won't come and say my goodbyes personally. I'm worried that I'll..." Just when Juey was about to say something more, her eyes started to well up with tears. But somehow, she managed to hold them back in the end. After all, saying goodbye was never an easy thing to bear

ore and even after she took over being chief at the age of 19. Before all of this grandeur, she used to wear simple and elegant clothes. However, she made an exception just today, all for the sake of one man.

"Well, Chief Lucilla, my clothes seem a little shabby compared to yours. Don't you think so?" Rocky joked in an attempt to break the embarrassing silence that flooded the entire room.

"As a matter of fact, I don't think so. I'm very honored that you were able to come. By the way, please don't call me Chief Lucilla anymore. Just call me by my name, Lucilla," Lucilla answered back.

"But I'm afraid that it's a little bit inappropriate for me to address you in a first name basis." At that moment, Rocky seemed to have realized something upon noticing that Lucilla's tempting words.

"It's okay. You told me that if I couldn't support the Cao Clan, then I should give up the position of the chief. And now, I want to give it up. So please, starting now, just treat me as your friend, Mr. Rookie," Lucilla said with finesse.

"All right. As you wish." Rocky nodded as a reply.

Soon after, Lucilla sat down beside Rocky, instead of sitting opposite to him. But after they sat side by side, the small table suddenly seemed even smaller.

As a result, the atmosphere of awkwardness suddenly filled the room.
