"Basil, we will never give up on you no matter what kind of person you claimed to be, okay? Deep down, we know you are lying to us. Plus, we understand that you must be dealing with your own difficulties. With that being said, we will never let you fight alone," Marcia said understandingly. After going through such a life-and-death trial, she had found out that Rocky's apathy and brutality were just a facade. It seemed as if he was trying to conceal something, and the thing was taking its toll on him, putting an unbelievable weight on his shoulders. Therefore, Marcia thought that it was best not to leave his side.
On the other hand, the other women on the spot, including Moira and Cherry, also nodded their heads in agreement.
"Boy, look around you! You are one lucky bastard! Take a look at all these women. They're ready to die for you. I got to admit, you're making me jealous!" Bart teased with a gentle smile on his face.
"Who is he, master? I haven't seen him before." Sabina took a good look at Bart. Upon noticing that he was a strapping spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage, she couldn't help but ask.
"This is Mr. Bart from the Ximen Clan. He was once a famous genius spirit manipulator in the entire Wild Spirit Land," Marcia introduced.
Sabina and the other women were shocked as soon as they heard who he was. Never did they expect that they could meet such a big shot.
Not long after the introduction, Bart took out the slate he had taken out and handed it over to Rocky.
"But sir, this slate..." Rocky saw the slate and looked at Bart with surprised eyes.
"Take it. It's a gift. Time makes it inevitable that the rising generation is worthier than the former ones. Keep this slate. You'll never know when it will become useful to you. Well, I guess it's time for me to leave. I've been locked up in here for more than thirty years, and it's time for me to get out there and see the world again. Oh, by the way, if you see Bryant, please tell him I said hi." After his voice trailed off, he summoned his eight-star dragon beast, and flew up and away towards the sky.
Marcia stared at Bart's receding figure before she said to Rocky, "I didn't expect that someone as famous as Mr. Bart would be imprisoned in the Heavenly Demon Clan for more than thirty years. I mean, it's really unexpected. I'm just so glad that M
you to do something for me instead," after hesitating for a while, Rocky implored.
"Okay, shoot!" Marcia replied without thinking twice.
"Listen to me closely. First off, you need to protect Isis, Nigel, Lena, and all the people whom may Alston use as leverage to deal with me," Rocky ordered.
"Okay. Anyway, I will protect them with every fiber of my being," Marcia answered seriously.
"Second, you have to ensure the normal operation of the Genome Research Institute. Once Alston takes control of the Holy Dragon Empire, he will surely destroy everything related to me. The Genome Research Institute was built with my blood and sweat, and it is also an indispensable existence for humans to fight against the spiritual race. With that being said, I hope you understand why I can't let Alston destroy the institute."
Marcia nodded vigorously as she listened to Rocky's order.
"Third, you have to secretly unite all the countries and forces that want to resist the spiritual race and form an alliance. Prior to that, our humanity assistance has won the hearts and support of many people in many countries. You can use this to persuade them," Rocky added.
"Okay, I see. After I return, I will gather Chief Bryant, General Lance, and some other clans like the Ji clan at once, then ask them to gather the troops of the three legions and the spirit manipulators of each clan. Next, I will expand our forces based on this. This should be more convincing. Despite this, I'm afraid it's not enough to fight against the spiritual race," stated Marcia worriedly.
