"Someone really thinks highly of himself. You only reach grade two of the Mortal Stage, dude! Are you that stupid to think that you are invincible now? Man, you maybe piss your pants when the contest starts." Bear chimed in with Priest Dean.
The other young men began murmuring among themselves and laughing at Rocky.
When Rocky heard Priest Dean and their laughter, he opened his eyes at once and jumped up from his chair, with an imposing air. He shot Priest Dean a taunting glance and asked haughtily, "What if the tables turn against the phoenix spirit manipulators you're tipping to win?"
Everyone looked at Rocky as if he was a lunatic. Nobody took his word seriously and they thought he was making some ridiculous jokes.
"All right! Why don't you join the contest then?" A sharp voice from the rest area interrupted them. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, where a slender woman was passing, dressed in a cloak. When she took off the cap, her stunning features left everyone in awe.
"General Beauty!" Rocky cried out in surprise. Priest Dean and Mia were surprised as well. They knew well that Marcia was a quirky person who didn't like crowded places and rarely showed up at ceremonies.
"General Marcia! Why didn't you notify us ahead of schedule that you would be attending the function?" Priest Dean changed his poker face and tried to fawn on Marcia.
"How would I have informed you when I didn't know anything about the event? I was only taking a stroll, and it's by pure coincidence that I passed by here," Marcia answered as she looked at Rocky.
"May I inform His Majesty of your presence? Please wait for a second. I will have one of my men prepare a seat for you," Priest Dean said.
don't have to do that. I've said I'm just passing by. I'm not staying, so it's not necessary to bother His Majesty," Marcia replied, her brows knitting with firmness.
