Chapter 1092 The Situation Was Serious

"Before going to the Ximen Mansion, I sent people to pick up Lena from Palace City. If everything goes well, you will be reunited with her soon," Marcia said.

It was only after hearing this that Rocky breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry now was Lena's safety. After all, Alston was a truly despicable man. Now that he knew that Rocky was still alive, he would definitely use any means possible to kill Rocky, including using Lena as bait.

"I'm leaving now," Marcia added. Then, she nodded at everyone and left the hall.

Following her departure, the entire hall went quiet, and a sense of anxiety loomed over all of them.

After a while, Rocky noticed Flint staring at him strangely. Unable to ignore it any longer, he turned to Flint and said, "Hey, dude, you've been staring at me this whole time. Did you fall in love with me because I saved you?"

Flint, who was drinking tea, spat out the tea in his mouth and coughed violently. The people in the hall could not help bursting out into laughter, which finally eased the serious atmosphere.

"Flint, just ignore him! Nothing decent comes out of his mouth," Sabina grumbled.

"I still don't believe that you are the Basil whom I knew years ago," Flint said coldly after a moment of silence.

"I'm not the Basil I used to be. That Basil died a long time ago." Rocky's eyes darkened.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged knowing glances. They had already guessed that Rocky must have overcome a lot after leaving the Palace City. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to survive, let alone become as strong as he was now.

"I can't even connect you with the Basil I used to know. You've changed a lot. When I received General Marcia's order to go to Wal City to support you, I didn't even recognize you at first. I didn't expect you to be Prince Basil," said Mia, who had been silent so far.

Everyone's gaze once again turned to Rocky, this time tinted with a hint of serious respect.

A while later, Marcia walked into the hall again, returning from the Dr

he first to resume her composure and nod in agreement. "Exactly. The Palace City is impregnable and is guarded by lots of masters. It's not easy to break in, so we must be fully prepared."

"But we don't have time. Alston is definitely going to battle me within three days. And this time, it's a fight to the death," Rocky said sternly.

"I'm afraid that he has already set up a trap and is just waiting for us to walk into it," Sabina chimed in.

"Since he wants to kill me anyway, I will trade my life for Lena's. I can't let her get hurt again," Rocky said resolutely with trembling fists.

However, Marcia shook her head. "You know how despicable Alston is. Even if you give your life, he may not let go of Lena in the end."

"It doesn't matter. We know that Alston will go all out to kill me. So, we can use that to our advantage. I'll keep him busy. What you need to do is to save Lena," Rocky said calmly. It seemed that he already had a plan in mind.

"Are you saying that you're going to be the bait?" Marcia immediately understood what Rocky meant.

"Get ready," Rocky said. Although he didn't answer Marcia's question, the look on his face was evident enough.

A grim atmosphere descended over the entire hall. Everyone knew how serious the situation had become.

Seeing that Rocky had made up his mind, Marcia didn't say anything more.
