Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 483 I Surrender

"It was Dunn," said Isis. When she was trapped here, she had doubted Dunn, especially when she heard what Alyssa had said. As she recalled, it was nobody but Dunn who passed the false news to her. Then everything was clear enough.

"Just like I thought," Rocky confirmed by nodding his head. Dunn had been cottoning up to him all the time and it made him feel creepy. Rocky paid attention to Dunn and found out that he was keeping eyes on him. He was confused why Dunn acted so weirdly. Now the reason was clear enough.

"Right, then everything made sense. Alyssa knew all the things around you and how to deal with you because of him. Everything is crystal clear now," said Isis thoughtfully. She was joining the puzzles, event by event to get clarity.

"But I don't understand. Dunn has been promoted to the main camp just a short period ago and he'd been staying in the small military camp. How did he manage to know everything?" questioned Rocky. He was unable to figure out the situation. He wanted answers to all the questions in his head. "That's right. Since Timber Deity Empire knows everything about our Crimson Dragon Group, the traitor must have been worked in our camps for ages. Otherwise they wouldn't have learned so much about us. Also they might have been keen observers,” said Isis. She agreed with Rocky and was lost in her thoughts. They were inspecting layer by layer in their heads.

'lt seems that things are more and more complicated than I've thought..." Rocky said in his mind and knitted his eyebrows. He was still figuring out as it was a huge reveal. Then he put his eyes on Isis and asked, "Tell me, are you always a good fighter? How did you fall into their trap so easily? Was there anything wrong? Why did you come here alone in the first place? Don't you know that it's dangerous?"

"Oh! It's a long story. Can't wrap it up soon. Forget it. I got nothing to say,” said Isis. Isis was too embarrassed to tell him that she got caught in their trap because all her heart had been concentrated on him. She would rather die than telling him right in his face and decided to keep it a secret until it was the right time. Isis didn't want to tell Rocky about how her thoughts got fixated on him every time. It was embarrassing to accept.

However, Rocky understood what was going on from the hesitating look on her face. She was caught because she was distracted worrying about him. But on the other hand, he thought that it was not a wise decision for her to come alone as it was unsafe. Rocky always had a soft corner for Isis. He respected her bravery.

"Listen, ride Silver Wind to leave here if you get a chance later, and I'll cover you," said Rocky seriously and looked into her eyes.

"No, I won't. I'll stay here with you. Maybe I can help you out," said Isis hesitantly. She refused to leave and wanted to support him. After all she hadn't taken all the trouble to leave the situation the way it was.

"Drop that stupid idea. It's not the right time to be cranky. You are more important than me to the Crimson Dragon Army. If they take you as a hostage to threaten the Commander in Chief, it will be a heavy blow to the army. The Commander won't risk your life," said Rocky seriously. His face was straight and eyes looked serious. He didn't want to take any risk considering the mess. It was a fact that Isis was influential among the soldiers. She was Lance's daughter and if she was caught, it would shake the army's morale. Her safety couldn't be risked at any cost. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.

"I'm not that stupid. I am here because of you!" Isis blurt out. She was too impatient to keep her secret. Isis was confident that she could help. She wanted to be of some use and was ready to take risk.

"Listen, you will do me a big favor to leave here safe and sound. You don't want me to feel guilty, right? If something happens to you, I won't forgive myself for that. I must keep you safe,” explained Rocky calmly. He knew his degree of responsibility and wanted Isis to be safe.

On the other side, Isis was stunned. She wanted to stay here to fight together with him. But since their chance to escape was thin lined, she didn't want him to blame himself for not being able to protect her.

Isis was a forthright girl and was determined to share this quest with Rocky. She didn't want to leave him alone on this as she knew that she could make a difference in some way.

"Anyway, I won't leave right at this moment. Let me take some time to think," insisted Isis.

"Okay, then I have to knock you out and ask Silver Wind to send you back. I believe my decision is right,” replied Rocky calmly.

"Are you sure about that? Let's see,” said Isis. She turned her eyes from him and looked at a point far away. But inside her heart she wanted him to insist to stay.

"Maybe I'll ask these guys outside to give me a hand," Rocky said with a laugh and pointed at the masters of Heavenly Stage outside the array.

"Are you crazy? Seriously! How can you even?..." said Isis angrily. She glued her eyes on him as if his action was sheer stupidity.

"Isis, leave here as soon as you get a chance. I'm not joking. It's the only way we leave here," said Rocky firmly by staring into her eyes. He was very fond of her and didn’t want anything to go wrong.

Isis immediately turned her head away out of anger. Seeing this, Rocky closed his eyes to rest his mind for a while. He had to deal with Isis and had to convince her anyhow.

The sudden quietness made Isis look at Rocky out of curiosity. She scanned his resolute face and sighed silently. A thousand thoughts were gathering at the bottom of her heart. In fact, she was overwhelmed the moment Rocky showed up there. Though she had never expected that he would come, she felt fulfilled and contented by his appearance. She always believed in Rocky and knew that he would only do good.

'What has happened to me? Am I dreaming? I don't want him to save me, but... It's so weird, * thought Isis. She couldn't understand why she was so contradictory. She was worried about him but glad to see him at the same time. She couldn't understand the dilemma

About an hour later, Woods appeared in front of the array with his bodyguard Liam.

Rocky had already sensed the aura of Heavenly Stage spirit manipulator before they got there. He opened his eyes at once and frowned at the sight of Woods. He was sure that Woods was behind all the things. It was Woods who set up this trap and lured him to come here.

"This man is the prince of Timber Deity Empire. He is known for his power and contribution in the empire.” Isis whispered to his ears.

"The prince of Timer Deity Empire?" asked Rocky. He had wondered the identity of Woods, but didn't expect that he was a prince. He wanted to know more.

"Do you know him?" asked Isis. It seemed to her that it was not the first time that Rocky had met Woods. Rocky's face looked serious.

"He is the person who fought Crimson Dragon Army at Hippo Land. I have only seen him twice. But he gave me a deep impression. He looked different, but I didn't know that he is a prince," Rocky explained. He nodded at Isis and got up, walking to Woods with a light smile. Rocky had no clue why Woods had come.

Isis also stood on her feet and followed him. She wanted to know what was happening "Commander Bai, nice to meet you again! What a pleasant surprise?" Woods greeted as they were close enough.

"Then I shall thank you for your kind arrangement,” said Rocky with a wicked smile on his face. He was quite unsure of this sudden meeting.

"Oh, please forgive us to bring you here with such a method. But I don't think there is a more appropriate way. Take things as they come and you have my words. I promise you that you will be safe,” Woods said loudly, cupping his hands.

"Really? I'm glad. Thank you for your kind consideration. In fact, I'm afraid of death,” Rocky teased. "Sorry I didn't know that you're a prince. If I did, I would have caught you alive at Hippo Land," he continued

"How dare you! Don't be rude to the prince. Pay him respect,” the surrounding people shouted loudly and impatiently.

"Commander Bai, the man who can recognize the facts of a situation is a paragon of men. I advise you to join us, as we all see that the Crimson Dragon Army has no future. His Highness appreciates you so much. Otherwise, you will now be dead,” Liam cut in beside Woods. He was impressed by Rocky's power the last time and was still a little scared of him. Thus he looked at him with a weird expression. Rocky had made a very solid impression last time. He was indeed a brave person.

"Being highly appreciated by the prince makes me feel flattered,” replied Rocky with an exaggerated look on his face. He was glad that he performed well last time. Getting a compliment from a prince meant a lot to him.

"It's good of you to say so and I really appreciate it. But don't you think it's rude of you to invite me here this way? I think we'd better find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea. We need to discuss and decide many things as it is a matter of complexity,” said Rocky calmly. He seemed to be negotiable and interested in their suggestion.

"Good idea. Now that Mr. Bai has suggested, why not? Let's go ahead,” said Woods.

"Your Highness, do you really believe that he will join us?" asked Liam. He didn't believe anything Rocky had said. He found it to be very uncertain.

"Don't worry about that. I'm a coward and always fond of all kinds of treasures. You guys still remember the battle last time? The Command in Chief of Crimson Dragon Army guaranteed me one supreme Dark Heaven Egg, one yellow spiritual crystal and plus one high-level Dark Heaven Egg. That was the reason why I was there to fight for them. Therefore I am a man who's ready to talk and negotiate if necessary. If the Timber Deity Empire wants me, then show your sincerity. I'll join you as long as I get what I want. By the way, I promise I can help you to destroy the Crimson Dragon Army in a month. Deal? I always want to challenge myself,” said Rocky with a cunning look. He wanted to be sure of what was happening.

"What are you talking, Rocky? Come on! Have you lost your mind?" Isis shouted. She turned pale as if she was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe her own ears. This man had agreed to save her life just an hour ago. But now he surrendered to their enemy. She couldn't understand what was happening and wanted clarity. It was controversial. Isis felt betrayed for some reason because she trusted Rocky a lot.
