The Medallion

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and stop them!" the woman in white ordered, her eyes narrowing the moment she saw that someone was protecting Hannah and helping her break out of the encirclement. She then led her men in black in a relentless pursuit of Rocky and Hannah.

Rocky carried Hannah to a safe spot in the forest. Then, he stopped and sensed the spiritual aura behind him. He squinted, and a low hum escaped his lips when he discovered that the woman in white was chasing them.

"We should stop now," Rocky murmured. As they were far from where they had been ambushed, Rocky gently helped Hannah stand on her feet.

"But they're right behind us! Why aren't we running?" The anxiety in Hannah's voice didn't go undetected. Rocky flashed her a reassuring grin.

"There is no point in running. We won't lose them. But I have a way to defeat them all. If you agree to cooperate with me, that is," Rocky replied.

"Cooperate? What do you mean? What do you want me to do?" Astonishment reflected in Hannah's eyes as she eyed Rocky. Considering all the trouble they had gotten into, she couldn't help regret having trusted him.

Rocky leaned forward and whispered a few words to Hannah. Instantly, her eyebrows shot up, and her mouth fell open. "No..." She refused.

"Please trust me!" Rocky urged as he looked over his shoulder to see if that woman caught up to them. As she was nowhere near, Rocky sighed with relief and gave his spiritual sword to Hannah.

Before Hannah could complete her objections, the woman in white and several of her men, who were dressed in black, surrounded her and Rocky.

"Brat, did you believe that you could escape?" The woman glared at Rocky, hatred evident in her expression.

"You misunderstood. I wasn't trying to flee. That was just a ploy to deceive the others." Rocky dismissed the charges with a casual wave of his hand.

"What do you mean?" The woman eyed him suspiciously.

"Actually, I'm a member of the Grand Sky Sect. My task was to spy on the Sword Spirit Sect." Rocky stepped forward, glanced around, and whispered loud enough for the woman and Hannah to hear him.

"Oh? Really?" Doubt surged within the woman, and she couldn't help but voice her skepticism.
