Chapter 1140 Know His Real Identity

Rocky found a seat in a corner and then sat down calmly. His composure was as careless as if he had never seen the disdainful looks on everyone's faces. Everyone in this room was here with the same goal: to see Mia. Luckily though, Rocky didn't have to wait here for any longer than he wanted to. If he told the butler who he was, the chief of the Lan Clan, Mia's grandfather, would come out and welcome him in person. Mia's grandfather had once been an influential and mighty general, though he was retired now. In fact, Mia would have waited outside the mansion for him if she had come to know of his arrival.

However, since Rocky was a modest man, he didn't want to use any special privileges. After all, he was only here to seek their cooperation and support. Keeping a low profile would help him see more and hear more. He just sat there patiently and listened to these businessmen, who had also been waiting there for quite some time. Getting impatient, they had started discussing their assets with each other.

Some of them were now showing off their resources to each other, and talking about the kind of profitable deals they had done recently. They were all competing with each other even when there was no competition.

As time went by, they soon lost interest in talking all high and mighty, and a short, awkward silence fell in the room. By then, a shifty-eyed and bearded businessman clad in a blue robe and looking like a miser, suddenly put his eyes on Rocky. Something in him irked and he said, "Hey, buddy, are you here to see Miss Mia? Do you wish to do business with the Lan Clan as well? I never knew that the Lan Clan is also interested in selling vegetables or steamed buns on the street. No, wait, you must be here to sell some home-made cookies or pots, huh?"

His scoff successfully pulled everyone else's attention towards Rocky, and the entire hall burst into laughter.

"A toad is wishing to eat swan meat! Forget the swan meat, brat... Can you even afford pork? Tell you what, I'll do you a favor. I am interested in people with pretty faces like you. How about you come with me? I promise you will eat swan meat every day!" a gorgeously dressed businesswoman cut in during the laughter. She was sitting next to Rocky and when she laughed, her cumbersome body shook two whole sofas on either side of her.

Rocky, however, just sat there quietly as if their words had never reached his ears.

Before they could say anything more to make fun of him, a man in brocaded clothes came in the door, with two spirit manipulators behind him. He looked quite young and had a port

ely began whining like a kindergarten kid, "Miss Mia, you have come at just the right time. Someone is attacking me in your mansion. You must uphold justice. Call the guards and arrest him at once."

"Oh, who is bold enough to attack you in my mansion?" Mia asked in surprise and then looked in the direction where the young man was pointing. She then saw Rocky who was sitting calmly at the other end of the room and smiling at her. This gave her yet another surprise, and a bigger one at that. What was this guy doing in the Lan's mansion?

The businessmen in the room all straightened hastily their backs and moved in a corner to stay and watch the fight.

However, to their immense surprise, Mia kicked the young man himself on the knee without a word. The poor man was forced to kneel down in pain.

"Miss Mia, what are you doing?" He cried as he stared at the woman in confusion.

But the woman then respectfully knelt down on one knee and bowed to Rocky. "Prince Crimson, please forgive me for not being there to welcome you at the gate!"

The onlookers in the room were now dumbstruck, as if a bomb had been strapped to their chest and would explode if they moved. This company of awestruck people included the young man on the floor. They couldn't believe their eyes or ears, but Mia's movements and mannerisms told them that she was not joking. This young man, with his humble clothing and lonesome nature, was indeed the high and mighty Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire.

"All of you, welcome Prince Crimson!" Mia coldly told those businessmen.

"Greetings! Your Royal Highness!" Every single person in the room hastily rose up on their feet and fell to the ground like toads, not daring to make a sound.
