Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Kill him now!" Laney's smile looked sinister as she ordered the girls without any fear.

Immediately, a group of girls rushed towards Rocky, completely regardless of Laney's safety.

As Rocky saw the scene, his face sank. He now realized that Laney was prepared to get rid of him by every possible means. Yet, he couldn't kill her right now, because she was still useful to him.

The group of girls were about to approach the two soon, but were abruptly stopped at the sight of colorful lights bursting from where Rocky and Laney were. The light was so bright that it hurt the girls' eyes. When they regained their vision, the two were gone.

A few moments after, a beast sped above Evian City.

On its back sat two figures. One of them seemed imprisoned by the other.

It was Rocky and Laney who just a few moments earlier were at the Geisha House.

"I'm not afraid of you," Laney defended.

"Then prepare for your doom."

Laney tried to think fast. She couldn't guess what Rocky had in mind. Last time, she was only ordered to test him but, no matter how bad things got, she couldn't tell him anything about the Timber Deity Empire.
