Chapter 1036 Waiting For An Opportunity

As soon as Rocky heard Isis mention Sue, he trembled in anger. He then spoke in a rather gloomy tone, "Sue is dead, and I killed her indirectly."

"What? Dead? Why?" Isis was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing such sad news. At that moment, her eyes were starting to well up with tears.

"It's...It's because of Alston..." Rocky's eyes suddenly became cold and furious after mentioning Alston's name.

"Alston? What does he have anything to do with this?" Isis frowned. Although she didn't know what exactly was going on, she knew it must be related to Rocky's "death".

"Follow me to the next room. You have to know about this. I have something else to explain to you." Soon after, Rocky held Isis in his arms and proceeded to go to the next room.

Upon entering the room, Isis saw that there was another person in the room aside from her father and Marcia. Beautiful and elegant, this other woman had an aura at the Supernal Stage, meaning she was not an ordinary person.

"Basil, do you know who she is?" Isis shifted her gaze to Rocky and asked.

"Well, you must be Isis. I'm Lucilla. Nice to finally meet you!" At that moment, Lucilla appeared to be, as always, well-mannered. On the way, she had heard about Isis, so she had already been mentally prepared for their meeting.

"Likewise. Nice to meet you too." Isis greeted back upon noticing that Lucilla was older than her.

Then, Rocky briefly narrated his experiences in the Timber Deity Empire to Lance and Isis. Of course, he could not miss the chance to tell them about Lucilla's identity and the reason why she was here.

"I didn't expect that the chief of the most powerful clan in the Timber Deity Empire would give up the position of the chief to protect Prince Basil. I really admire your courage!" Lance could not help but exclaim his respect. Although he could see that Lucilla gave up the position of the chief because of Rocky, he sincerely admired her determination and courage for doing it. After all, it was not easy for an extraordinary and influential person in the Timber

do now?" Rocky asked Marcia after thinking for a while.

"Right now, Alston is the acting emperor. Before we find out why His Majesty is missing, he can only be the acting emperor. Therefore, as long as the reason for His Majesty's disappearance is not found out, Alston can't become the real emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. Moreover, he cannot completely convince the public. Big clans will certainly have doubts, especially the Ximen Clan. Unless Alston can get the support of the Ximen Clan, it will be absolutely difficult for him to be the emperor. That's why we have plenty of time to prepare," Marcia said as she seemed to have a plan in mind.

"If you want to fight with Alston with all your might, you must have more forces behind to support you. Although two of the four legions of the Holy Dragon Empire are on your side, it's still not enough. We still need to win more forces over secretly, but somehow, it will take us a lot of time to prepare. In fact, even Alston can't get the support of all the forces in a short time. Therefore, there will be a war without bullets in the future," Lance stated as he nodded his head.

"So, all I can do now is wait?" At that moment, Rocky immediately understood what Marcia and Lance meant. It seemed that he might have to completely hide himself for some time while waiting for the opportunity to get his revenge.
