The Medallion

The businessman in the blue robe, in particular, was shivering all over because he had just ridiculed Rocky, Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire, in public. Insulting a royal member was a serious crime, and he could be beheaded for this.

Needless to say, the most embarrassed among the lot was the young man who had tried to pick on Rocky. He was still in the shock, unable to believe that he had offended such a mighty figure in the empire, in front of whom even his father had to kneel down. He swiftly crawled over to Rocky and begged for mercy. "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me! I failed to recognize you and I deserve punishment. But please, spare my life, Your Royal Highness!"

Ignoring his pleas, Rocky walked towards Mia and said, "Please, get up. You don't need to do this."

Mia raised her head slowly. When Rocky nodded to her with a smile, she stood up, but the other businessmen were still kneeling down on the floor with their foreheads touching the floor. Their hands were visibly shivering in fear. Rocky continued to ignore them.

"Why didn't you tell the butler who you were? I wouldn't have made you wait here in this living room if I had known it was you," Mia grumbled. If Rocky had informed her sooner, he wouldn't have had to endure such offense from the businessmen, which now annoyed her even more.

"Well, I wasn't in a hurry. Besides, you seem to have a lot of guests." Rocky shrugged with a mischievous chuckle.

"They are not my guests," she said, looking at the men groveling on the floor. She turned back to Rocky. "What brought you all the way here? Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm only here to express my appreciation. You did a huge favor for me," Rocky said with a smile.

"Favor?" Mia was confused at first, but then understood what he was talking about. Shaking her head, she continued, "That's very kind of you, but I only did what I had to do."

"I have to admit that you made things much easier for me. Here, I brought you a small gift," he said as he took out a box and handed it to Mia.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't refuse. Accepting the gift, she opened it. With a loud gasp, she stared at the three medium grade Dark Heaven Eggs. Rocky had given her something very precious in such a small box; it was absolutely outrageous.

The wealthy businessmen, who were still on their knees, gaped in stunned silence at Rocky's generosity. Medium grade Dark Heaven Eggs were rare treasures, nearly impossible to find in the Wild Spirit Land. Enormously rich people would grab their chance at buying one even at high prices. But here was this man, presenting Mia with three of them as a "small gift". That "small gift" could buy three entire cities! Even the richest man among them couldn't compete with him.

The Xiao's beast hospital was initially a beast farm in the Timber Deity Empire, reputed and was operated at a medium-scale. I don't know when and how it turned into a beast hospital. Even the royal family of the Timber Deity Empire recommends it with high praises. Many large-scale beast farms all over the world tried to copy their success, but to no avail. The treatment techniques which the hospital has adopted are unique and complex. No one so far has managed to master it other than them." It was clear that Mia was fascinated by the subject. She had so much knowledge about the hospital. Rocky smiled in satisfaction; she was the one he
