Indeed, what Rocky offered was very tempting. In fact, after hearing what he said, Valeria immediately fell into deep thought and analyzed the pros and cons. She knew that it was too risky. If he failed, then everything would be all for naught. But if he succeeded in the end, she and the Flower Fief would reap unimaginable benefits.
"Think about it first. I know that I can't demand an answer from you right away. Anyway, I will head out now to prepare for our departure back to the Shura Race." Then, Rocky stood up and was about to leave, leaving Valeria time to think about his offer.
"Okay. I will think about it. Just so we're clear, even if I end up not agreeing, I will still keep your secret. I owe you my life, so it's the least that I can do. In the near future, I will do my best to repay you," Valeria said firmly. She did not agree with Rocky's proposal right away, but she wanted him to know that his secret was safe with her.

"I see. But where is your apprentice pharmacist? I haven't seen him yet," Gilbert asked, confused.
"I permitted him to go back to his hometown and visit his family for a while. He should be back soon enough," Rocky answered calmly. However, the truth was that he still didn't know what exactly happened to Gloria or where she went.
