Chapter 1188 Abnormal Situation

The next day, the news that Erica was bullied by a mysterious man in public had quickly spread in the royal palace. Many spirit manipulators were easily filled with righteous indignation when they heard this. They were eager to find this man and teach him a lesson he deserved. However, no one among the spectators was able to have a clear glimpse of the face of the mysterious man. No one knew his identity or where he came from. Thus, naturally, their search for this man eventually became a dead end.

But the moment Sabina and the two women heard of this, they had a strong hunch that it must be Rocky.

Therefore, they quickly went to ask him about what happened.

"It's not my fault. Even Erica said it…" Rocky didn't seem to have the slightest intention of denying that he fought with Erica. He told them the whole story with all honesty, and the women knew that he was telling the truth.

"Fine, we get it. It's not your fault. I know it's easy for you to have your way with women, but can you stop playing the field? Fortunately, no one recognized you. Stay away from women because nothing good ever happens when you meet them!" Sabina retorted and reprimanded Rocky.

"Well, what can you do? You can't just change someone's nature. He always ends up flirting with different women whether he intends it or not," Shirley added as she rolled her eyes.

"Hey, give Basil a break. He already said that he didn't do it on purpose. Besides, Miss Erica didn't blame him for the incident. After all, she was the one who started it." Lucilla quickly took Rocky's side and defended him.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. Don't you find it suspicious? If she didn't blame Basil for it, then it means that…" Sabina wasn't willing to let it go. She knew that Erica acted strangely, meaning that there was a hidden motive behind it.

"Come on, stop guessing. After the martial arts contest ends today, we'll immediately go back to the Holy Dragon Empire. Then, we don't have to deal with her anymore," Rocky butted in and convinced the women to drop the topic already.

Although quite reluctant, they agreed eventually.

In the afternoon, the martial arts contest was held on a very broad and magnificent square to the south of the royal palace. Over a thousand spirit manipulators from various empires of the Wild Spirit Land were present during the event, eager to win the prize of the contest.

All seats were occupied at the hall in front of the square. This area was reserved for the most prominent people of the Magi

on?" the queen asked in such a gloomy and dissatisfied tone. It was pretty obvious from her voice that she didn't want Rocky to leave so soon.

"I'm afraid yes. I still have something important to do, so we can't stay that long," Rocky replied euphemistically.

"Well, if that's the case, we won't force you to stay." Felicia knew that Rocky wouldn't need to stay longer since he didn't plan on participating in the martial arts contest. Actually, she and the queen were quite disappointed in his decision. They wanted Rocky to have a match with Erica, fully knowing that he would be able to beat her. Then, if Erica could get pregnant with Rocky's child, they were so thrilled to think that the child must possess such incredible talents.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We'll take our leave now." However, just when Rocky and the three women were about to leave, a female guard suddenly rushed in. She looked pale and almost out of breath. She quickly knelt before the queen and reported, "Your Majesty! Several spirit manipulators at the martial arts contest suddenly became aggressive like mad. They attacked our phoenix spirit manipulators, and many were hurt in the process, including Miss Erica."

"What did you say?!" The queen and Felicia were shocked and dumbfounded at the report. Since the challenges weren't aimed at killing, there shouldn't be such a situation. Furthermore, if the guard was saying that the participants were acting strangely, then this was an abnormal situation that immediately needed to be apprehended.

Rocky and his group also looked at each other upon hearing the information. They wouldn't be able to leave with this kind of situation at hand.
