The Medallion

"Once I learned that you had been captured by the powerful warriors of this world, I forced myself inside to rescue you. The thing that I never saw coming was my divine power disappearing and not being able to use it to find you. That's why it's taken so long. I've had to come up with other ways," Rocky explained briefly.

"Have you found Marcia and the others, Rocky?" Shirley asked, sitting up.

"Not yet. By the way, where is General Bryant?" Rocky asked, shaking his head. Now that he knew Shirley was still alive, he assumed that Bryant was too.

"My grandfather is dead!" Shirley exclaimed in a sad voice, shocking Rocky.

"What? He died?!" This made no sense. Bryant was strong, so he should have been able to find a foothold in this world. Honestly, he should have even been able to make a breakthrough.

"He died protecting me. I managed to escape, but I was seriously injured. After that, I lost my footing and fell off a cliff." Pain painted over every surface of Shirley's face. Then, she told Rocky about their experiences after they had been captured. The twists and turns sounded horrifying, especially the one where Bryant sacrificed himself so that Shirley could run away from the Shura Race.

Unfortunately, Shirley had none of her memories once she fell off the cliff. Later, she was brought in by the leader of a killer organization and cultivated into an assassin.

"So it's true. You are really a killer now?" Rocky had never expected a person as dignified as Shirley, who was also once a genius spirit manipulator of the Holy Dragon Empire, to become a killer.

"Yes, I am." Shirley nodded.

"Okay. Then who hired you to kill me?" Rocky asked, still feeling slightly confused.

"I don't know. I just follow the orders I'm given," Shirley answered, shaking her head quickly.

"If I had to guess, I'd say it was Elliot." At the moment, Rocky couldn't think of anyone else who would want him gone. But it still didn't make sense. How would Elliot know when to find an opening to kill him?

As he thought of this, Rocky immediately understood what had happened. Obviously, Deputy Commander Lin was involved in this too. There was no way it could just be a coincidence that he had sent him into the swamp alone.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have found you, Shirley. Don't you agree?"
