Chapter 1155 The Most Important Thing Is Her Happiness
However, there was a probability of failure in genetic modification. No perfect method for doing that existed in any world. The silver lining was the dozens of spirit-manipulated beasts that Rocky had used in the battle between the Black Dragon Group and the mysterious army. It was known that they had all been bred from at least hundreds of variants of spirit-manipulated beasts through genetic modification. Over countless experiments and efforts, he had successfully created a few dozen spirit-manipulated beasts with terrifying fighting power.
"To be honest, I have no doubts, because I believe in you. The Crimson Dragon Group should not be a problem. However, it is hard to predict the side that the Black Dragon Group and the Sky Army Group are likely to take." Marcia naturally believed in Rocky's abilities.
"I have just come from the Black Dragon Group. I believe Commander in Chief Boyd has no reason to refuse this offer. In fact, I think he's considering it since he has personally witnessed the power of a genetically modified spirit-manipulated beast. What remains to be seen is the reaction of the Sky Army Group, where I'm going next," Rocky told her.
"Are you sure? I mean the idea is all well and good but the last time you were there, you refused to marry Shirley. There's a chance that Chief Bryant still carries the rejection in his heart. You should be careful. However, if Shirley can persuade her grandfather for you, that would be great," Marcia said in a mischievous, teasing tone.
"I am not counting on that girl." Rocky shook his head with a smile. Actually, he felt a little helpless when it came to Shirley. Although he had refused to marry her, she had still taken the initiative to come down to the Crimson City and start cultivation with him like the other women. However, she had never mentioned anything about the engagement or even talked to him any more than was absolutely necessary. It was not until recently that Shirley had been called back to the Sky Army Group for help. The Skywind Border, guarded by the Sky Army Group, had been attacked by two powerful empires together.
"Speaking of which, Shirley and you are not meant to be together, believe me. When His Majesty granted the marriage between you two, she was very unhappy and agreed very unwillingly. Later, Chief Bryant proposed you two get married, but you refused. However, things are different now. The way I see it, when you refused to marry her, you hurt her feelings and her pride. After all, she is a girl. It means her attitude towards you is now completely different from before. You already have a lot of women around you. It doesn't really matter whether you have this one or not," Marcia explained.
"A lot of women around me? No way. I can't deal with these girls now. If there is even one more Shirley out there, I will have a headache." Rocky rolled his eyes.
"Then why do you always show so much affection? You playboy..." Marcia teased in a low voice. The truth was, she also understood that it was not Rocky's intention to gain the attention of these females. It just happened that after any woman got along with him for even a single day, his invisible charm would attract them. And almost each one of them had had the same near-death experience with Rocky at least once. That obviously made the women fall for him.
It was Rocky's fault for not being a normal person at all!
"I should go now. After the Sky Army Group, I need to go back to the Imperial City. I have to find out all the things about Alston as soon as possible. Something tells me that big trouble may be brewing," Rocky declared with certainty.
"Alright then. If you need any help, just send me a message. And don't worry, I will come to the Imperial City and see you when the war in the Rime Army Group eases a little," Marcia promised. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Rocky nodded and then left. Once outside, he hurriedly rushed to the Skywind Border where the Sky Army Group was currently located.
As soon as he arrived there, he attracted a lot of attention from the soldiers, just like when he had arrived at the Rime Army Group.
In fact, when Bryant came to know that Rocky was there, he came out to welcome him in person, which showed that the man respected him a great deal.
"Chief Bryant, it's nice to meet you again," Rocky greeted the chief as he cupped his hands in front of him.
"You're too polite, Prince Crimson. Why didn't you inform me that you were coming? If you did, I would have had enough time to prepare a royal welcome," Bryant said this as a polite formula.
"I have come from the Rime Army Group just now," Rocky told him.
"The Rime Army Group? Is something wrong over there? I have to confess that I just received a secret letter from the emperor. It told the account of how Prince Crimson helped the Black Dragon Group out of a siege just a few days ago. The one who led the mysterious army is said to be..." Bryant's voice trailed off in confusion.
Rocky nodded.
"So it is true! Alright then, let's talk inside." Bryant was shocked at the confirmation. Immediately, he invited Rocky into his camp for a private conversation.
"I knew that something was wrong when that Dragon Master Clan withdrew Alston's soul. However, I never expected that he would be reborn with the help of the spiritual race's body. It's an incredible feat!" Bryant told Rocky of his surprise.
"That's not the only astonishing thing. Alston is much stronger after his rebirth. He may even be stronger than me," Rocky told him with a frown.
"Really? I must say, the resurrection of Alston is a very bad thing for the Holy Dragon Empire. Do you have a plan of action, Prince Crimson?" Bryant asked immediately.
"Right now, I only know that I must find out where Alston is as soon as possible. I have a suspicion that he may have the support of the Dragon Master Clan. That might explain why he attacked the Holy Dragon Empire without any fear," Rocky told him.
"I think you are the one Alston wants to face the most, Prince Crimson. I think you should be very careful about your movements," Bryant reminded him.
"I know. But that is not why I came here today. I have another reason." Rocky now came to the point.
"What is it?" Bryant asked.
He told Bryant his plan, and Bryant was shocked.
"I've heard about the genetic modification and its related technologies from Shirley once or twice. People say that you have used this technology to breed several new spirit-manipulated beasts. Yet, I believe that the risks are great indeed," Bryant replied in a thoughtful tone.
"Yes, you're right. However, if these technologies are successfully applied in the army, it will immensely enhance their overall combat effectiveness." Rocky nodded.
"I get that, but I don't think it's appropriate to take such a risk for this matter." Bryant was a cautious man. There were too many wars already at the border, and the spirit manipulators and spirit- manipulated beasts were very scarce. It would be difficult for him to spare some for genetic modification.
"I just wanted to give you a suggestion. After all, you are the top leader of your group. But do think about it, Chief Bryant," Rocky politely agreed.
"Okay. I will think it over," Bryant promised.
"I have another thing to ask you too. But I don't know whether I should say it," Rocky added after thinking for a while.
"Please go ahead," Bryant said.
"Are you still mad at me because I refused to marry Miss Shirley?" Rocky asked politely.
"To be honest, I did feel unhappy at first, but when Shirley came back from the Crimson City, I saw that she had changed a lot. From time to time, she would mention everything you had done in the Crimson City, and she looked very happy. I never expected that to happen. Now I understand that the engagement doesn't matter at all. The most important thing is her happiness!" Bryant said with a sigh of relief.
