Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Sabina saw Rocky leave and got up to follow him. However, she was stopped in her tracks by Yasmin.

"That isn't a place for women to go. In my opinion..." Before Yasmin could finish, Sabina made a sudden move. At the blink of an eye, she was gone, leaving others stunned.

Rocky went through the front yard of the Geisha House and arrived at the back yard where he saw two maidservants standing by the widely open door of Laney's room.

"I'm looking for Miss Laney," Rocky explained to the maidservants.

"Is that Mr. Rocky? Come on in. You two can leave now." Just then, a soft voice came from the room.

The two maidservants bowed and left at once.

Rocky looked back. Though he didn't see Sabina, he knew she would follow, so he walked into Laney's room. When he entered the door, he smelled a light fragrance, like the smell of mint, very refreshing. Through the gauze, he saw Laney in a light pink coat and a purple strapless dress leaning against the round table, seeming to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"Miss Laney, did you know that I would come?" Rocky asked with arms folded across his chest.

"Don't you think that I'm good at predicting things ahead?" Laney flashed a sweet smile at Rocky.

"If that's the case, then I dare not sit down. If you tell me I could only live until tomorrow, I would not be in the mood to drink tonight," Rocky bantered.

"Well, I am not that capable. I just heard that you went back to the headquarters and was about to send someone to invite you, but I didn't expect you to show up here yourself..." Laney had a playful smile on her face.

"Rocky, I hate you! I don't care what happens to you now!" Sabina hit the pillar with her hand and, in an instant, it froze completely. This meant that she was in total rage.

Before it could go any further, Sabina disappeared.

Rocky heard Sabina's voice and froze for a moment. In a few seconds, there was silence and her aura disappeared.

"Did she leave?" Laney asked.

"Yes. Thank you for your help. That should get her off my back." Rocky nodded.

Laney reached for the glass of wine on the table. "Drink this," she said. Laney put the glass in front of Rocky.

Rocky picked up the glass and looked at Laney.

"Drink. I'll just go in and take something out." Laney waited for Rocky to put the glass near his lips. As soon as he did, she got up and went into her bedroom.

At this time, Rocky, who was just about to drink up the glass of wine in his hand, looked up and glanced at the back of Laney. He was shocked a little, but then drank up the wine in his glass.

After a few gulps, Rocky bent over the table.
