The Medallion

The moment Rocky stepped into the forest, he sensed that a murderous will oozed out from the figure who was following him. But of course, he still remained calm because he was leading the person here on purpose.

Realizing that they were now in a remote place, the person bearing the killing intent suddenly rushed towards Rocky. Soon enough, Rocky felt a shining sharp claw around his neck.

"Have you really thought this through, Quentin? I am about to attend a wedding ceremony as the bridegroom. If anything suddenly happens to me, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this place," Rocky warned. Even before he entered the forest, he already knew that it was Quentin who was following him.

"I'm not stupid. I'm not here to kill you. Just give me the formula of the healing pill and you're free to go!" Quentin said in a rough and gloomy voice.

"Formula? What are you talking about?" Rocky did not want this to be easy for Quentin, so he pretended not to know about it.

"You can't fool me! I know that you made a special healing pill to save Valeria. Now, give the formula of that pill to me so that we can both walk out of here as soon as possible! I'm not playing games here, Odin!" Quentin roared.

"Oh, so you want to heal yourself using my pills? I can create those pills to help you. But is this the way you're going to ask me for help? By attacking me?" Rocky sneered, deliberately provoking Quentin.

But after regaining his senses, Quentin finally took away the Spectral King Claw.

"How do you know that I have those healing pills?" Rocky asked, trying to confirm that Gloria did her job appropriately.

"Why do you care? That's not important!"

"Well, there's only one possible person who could have told you about it. It was Gloria, right? She came to me lately, but apparently, she just did that to steal the pills and give them to you," Rocky said with a serious expression. He did this on purpose so that Quentin would trust Gloria even more.

"Ha-ha! I see. Were you thinking that Gloria will really fall in love with someone like you? Quit daydreaming!" Quentin snorted disdainfully, falling easily for Rocky's splendid act.

"Humph! I don't need her in the first place. I already have Valeria, so I can just dispose of her anytime," Rocky retorted with a shrug.

"Don't act like you're such a big shot. Just cut the crap and give me the formula. I don't have much time to waste on you!" Quentin demanded sternly, growing impatient with their pointless conversation.

"I can give you the formula, but it will just be pointless in your hands," Rocky said while crossing his arms on his chest.
