Gilbert knew that he couldn't just bestow Rocky the power to be the deputy leader. After all, it would be like nurturing a snake in his bosom. He wouldn't know when Rocky would bite him to his death. On second thought, if he didn't grant Rocky the power to be his deputy, he might lose the young man's trust. In that case, he might refuse to fight alongside him to resist the other powerful leaders.

On the other hand, Rocky already expected that she would go out, so he suddenly turned around to surprise her. Unfortunately, she rushed too fast. Hence, as Rocky turned around, Valeria was not able to stop right away, making her face bump onto Rocky's chest.
"Ouch!" At this moment, Valeria felt that her nose was almost flattened. Realizing that Rocky did it on purpose, she suddenly raised her head and tried to get even with Rocky by reasoning with him.
However, Rocky was surprised as well and wanted to check if she was hurt, so he quickly lowered his head. Unexpectedly, their lips touched. It was just only for a moment, but both of them were instantly stunned at the same time.
