Chapter 1048 The Second Largest Clan

"Take off your clothes so I can check if there is anything hidden on you. Only then will I believe you," Mia said coldly as she doubted about Rocky.

"Oh, so, it turns out that Master Mia likes to see men's bodies. Why didn't you tell me earlier, Master Mia?" Rocky responded sarcastically as he tried to tease her.

"Stop fooling around. I just want to double-check if you have stolen anything. And, who even wants to see you and your body? Shame on you!" Mia contradicted with slight fury, but her face blushed a little.

"Look! If you're not, then why is your face turning red? Have I just gotten you?" Rocky kept probing, reluctant to waste such a chance to mock Mia and shame her a bit.

"Are you that tired of being alive? I originally planned to let you go, but now it seems that there is no need. I'll take you to the Ji Clan immediately. Please keep in line!" Mia snorted coldly. At that moment, she was completely irritated and offended by Rocky's words and taunts. Without thinking twice, she stretched her body and approached Rocky with aggression.

At that moment, Rocky also wore a snicker on his face. In fact, seeing someone get angry from embarrassment gave him satisfaction. After all, this was his chance to get back at Mia, who used to play tricks on him before.

"Mia, what brings you here?" Just as Mia was about to make a move, a delicate figure came up from the second floor and interrupted her. It was nobody but Sabina. Soon after, she hurriedly called Mia's attention upon seeing the commotion between Mia and Rocky.

Mia turned around and saw Sabina. Then, she pointed at Rocky and snapped, "This man is a thief. I'm going to catch him."

"Thief?" Sabina immediately put her eyes on Rocky for questioning, but Rocky just shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Oh, Mia. I think you misunderstood. He is not a thief. He is... He's working for me," Sabina explained briefly.

"What? He's working for you? Then would that explain why he is in your Heavenly Frost Pavilion?" Mia cast a confusing glance at Rocky because she didn't completely believe Sabina's words.

"Yes, believe me. I'm telling the truth. His identity should remain confidential, so I always call him here when I need him to do something for me. Please, just forget about him. Why don't we go downstairs and catch up over a cup of tea?" Sabina cast Rocky a sidelong glance as she dragged Mia to the staircase.

At that moment, Mia was very reluctant to go, but she had

her eyes scanned Jason.

"Let's wait and see. Don't beat emptily upon the grass, and the snake will be frightened." Rocky smiled as he shared his wisdom.

"I am so honored to have you here," greeted Elvis. Together with the elders, he had come over and stopped in front of Jason. In fact, Jason's strength was no match of Elvis' when it came to their cultivation base. If Jason was not sent here by Alston, then Elvis didn't have to treat him so politely.

As a matter of fact, Elvis even looked so domineering, not inferior to Jason at all. However, they all had to show respect to Jason, not for him, but for the people behind him.

"The pleasure is mine, Chief Elvis. I can't believe that so many people came out to welcome me. I'm flattered," Jason said politely, but it was clear that he was taking everything for granted based on the expression on his face.

"Follow me. This way, please!" Elvis stretched out his hand as he accompanied Jason.

Soon after, the two of them then walked side by side and headed straight to the Celestial Hall, which was especially used to entertain important figures. Meanwhile, other important figures followed behind them as well.

After entering the hall, Elvis and Jason sat side by side on the two seats in front of the hall, while the other big shots sat on both sides.

Jason sat down and leaned backward. He began to talk about the decoration of the hall as if he was at his own home. "This hall is really magnificent! In fact, I see that it's not inferior to the palaces in the Palace City. The Ji Clan is indeed worthy of being called the second largest clan in the Holy Dragon Empire."
