Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

When Laney came out of the bedroom, she saw Rocky bent over the table. A sly smile appeared on her ruddy lips.

"Mr. Rocky..." Laney sauntered to Rocky and shook him slightly, but Rocky didn't react at all. She muttered quietly, "Don't blame me. You shouldn't have spoiled the princess's plans. You will die now!" She quickly took out the dagger, which she had prepared in advance, from her sleeve.

Everything happened so fast. The dagger glinted in the darkness of the room, as it headed straight toward Rocky. However, before it reached its mark, a hand stopped it from thin air.

Laney was stunned for a moment. The man who stopped her was Rocky! 'Wasn't he unconscious earlier?' she thought.

Rocky stood up. He eyed Laney coldly, as he took the dagger from her hand. With a swift movement, he threw out the dagger. It had landed beside her with a thud and deeply embedded into a wooden pillar.

"Are you the one who is talking to Woods in the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group?" Rocky asked as he studied Laney intently.

"How do you know?" Laney gasped in surprise. She suspected that Rocky had already recognized her, but she didn't know why he could spot her. She should have hidden it well. Besides, Rocky didn't do anything strange until just now.

"You mentioned that you knew the news of my return so quickly, which reminded me of what Yasmin had told me. Many of the Commanders of our base camp are your distinguished guests. One of them must tell you that I am back. I can guess that maybe the Commanders have said something to you, or maybe you seduced them and inadvertently revealed the secret of the Crimson Dragon Group. If my guess is right, it means that you know many secrets. In this way, you are very suspicious," said Rocky with a pensive look on his face.

"So what? Those are just your suspicions. You do not have any evidence to support that." Laney scrutinized Rocky. She could tell that he had other reasons to think that.

"Actually, y

ation, His Royal Highness will have a chance to plead for mercy for you," Laney advised gently.

"Do you think you can keep me here? With your strengths..." Rocky trailed off as he studied his opponents. Although there were a lot of people, they were inferior to Rocky in strength. He was confident that he could escape.

"Do you think I just put medicine in the wine?" A shrewd expression crossed Laney's face. Her beautiful red and purple eyes glinted intelligently.

Rocky's body suddenly tensed at Laney's words. He suddenly became aware of the heaviness in the chest. He was further alarmed when the spiritual power circulation in his body seemed to be blocked.

"I have put a Spiritual Power Interrupting Incense in my censer. As long as you inhale a little of it, your spiritual power circulation will be affected. The more you inhale, the greater the effect will be. The incense you have been inhaling from the start is enough to stop you from using your spiritual power for, at least, an hour. Without your spiritual power, you won't be able to defeat any of them," Laney explained.

"You are really well prepared! But I still have you. Will your partners do anything to you?" Laney gasped in alarm when Rocky abruptly pulled her into his arms. She inhaled sharply when he pressed one hand against her neck.
