The Medallion

"I must say, what you said makes sense, Leader Adrian. From what I can see, the royal family will undoubtedly have a greater chance of winning this time. Hence, we must help Enoch turn the tide of the battle," Rocky said without any hesitation. Of course, his unexpected response caught Adrian by surprise.

"What? You actually want Enoch to win this battle? Both of us know that once he wins, the Shura Race will plunge into chaos!" Adrian retorted with an evident frown on his face.

"I know. However, only when the Shura Race is driven into chaos can we have the chance to help Princess Layla ascend the throne. Am I wrong?" Rocky said without flinching.

"Wait. Are you going to...?" Adrian wanted to ask if Rocky was planning on rebelling against the royal family, but he stopped before he could finish his sentence. After all, he had already understood what Rocky meant when he said that he wanted to help Enoch this time.

"I guess you already understand the situation. So, are you going to join us or not, Leader Adrian?" Rocky asked with a faint smile.

"You planned all of this beforehand and set up a trap for me!" Adrian's eyes darkened. He finally realized that Rocky might have already had the idea of resisting the royal family from the very beginning. That was why the young man tried his best and lured him to cooperate. Now that he had fallen into Rocky's ploy, there was no turning back. Although Adrian still had some selfish motives, his precious daughter was head over heels in love with Rocky. Of course, choosing what he should do next put him in a dilemma.

"Well, I will come out clean and admit that I did hide something from you before, Leader Adrian. If it wasn't for the king's willfulness to abolish the royal identity of Princess Layla, things wouldn't have come to this extent. Since my original plan could not proceed anymore, in order not to let all my efforts go in vain, I had no choice but come up with another way," Rocky said honestly.

"That's right. If Princess Layla became the successor of the royal family, then everything would have been fine. But the king was consumed by his pride and selfishness. For the sake of his own son, he let the whole royal family fall into turmoil." Adrian let out a sigh, fully understanding where Rocky was coming from.

"You heard my side. Now, I'm here to confirm whether you are willing to help me or not, Leader Adrian." Rocky went straight to the point.

"Humph! Do I even have a choice? If I refuse to help you, my precious daughter will definitely hate me. But of course, I'm more worried that once Zain becomes the king of the Shura Race, he will surely do away with the fiefs and unify the Shura Race. If that happens, the foundation that we have worked hard to build all these years will be gone in an instant. I won't just sit idly and let this happen before my eyes," Adrian said resolutely. Realizing the weight of the situation, he only had two choices—compromise or resist.
