The Medallion

The next day, the news that Erica was bullied by a mysterious man in public had quickly spread in the royal palace. Many spirit manipulators were easily filled with righteous indignation when they heard this. They were eager to find this man and teach him a lesson he deserved. However, no one among the spectators was able to have a clear glimpse of the face of the mysterious man. No one knew his identity or where he came from. Thus, naturally, their search for this man eventually became a dead end.

But the moment Sabina and the two women heard of this, they had a strong hunch that it must be Rocky.

Therefore, they quickly went to ask him about what happened.

"It's not my fault. Even Erica said it…" Rocky didn't seem to have the slightest intention of denying that he fought with Erica. He told them the whole story with all honesty, and the women knew that he was telling the truth.

"Fine, we get it. It's not your fault. I know it's easy for you to have your way with women, but can you stop playing the field? Fortunately, no one recognized you. Stay away from women because nothing good ever happens when you meet them!" Sabina retorted and reprimanded Rocky.

"Well, what can you do? You can't just change someone's nature. He always ends up flirting with different women whether he intends it or not," Shirley added as she rolled her eyes.

"Hey, give Basil a break. He already said that he didn't do it on purpose. Besides, Miss Erica didn't blame him for the incident. After all, she was the one who started it." Lucilla quickly took Rocky's side and defended him.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. Don't you find it suspicious? If she didn't blame Basil for it, then it means that…" Sabina wasn't willing to let it go. She knew that Erica acted strangely, meaning that there was a hidden motive behind it.

"Come on, stop guessing. After the martial arts contest ends today, we'll immediately go back to the Holy Dragon Empire. Then, we don't have to deal with her anymore," Rocky butted in and convinced the women to drop the topic already.

Although quite reluctant, they agreed eventually.
