"Damn it! This is exactly what I was worried about! That girl really annoys me to the extreme!" Rocky could not help but let out a bitter smile. Right after they returned from the Nether Fire Land, he was already worried that Gloria might begin to take action. It turned out that it was even sooner than he expected.
Since he knew that Gilbert would not be able to deal with the leader of the Genie Fief by himself, he deemed that he would have to make a move eventually.
Soon enough, he arrived at the conference hall where Gilbert and the others were currently in the middle of a discussion.

That will be bad for us since we're going to have one more powerful enemy." Rocky was well-aware that if they could not handle the negotiations with the Genie Fief properly, they would surely make trouble for them afterward.
"You are right. That is exactly what I am worried about," Gilbert said as he nodded.
"But maybe, we can also use that to our advantage..." Rocky gave a devious smile after thinking for a while.
