Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"I don't have much patience. If you don't mind me taking off all of them, I will just continue," Rocky threatened calmly.

"No, no!" Laney cried out. She prayed that the ground would open and swallow her, just so Rocky's humiliation would end.

"Then say it," said Rocky coldly.

"I will never betray the princess. My life belongs to the princess, so even if I die, I will not betray her." Laney glared at Rocky. Her loyalty helped her stand firm in front of Rocky.

"It seems that you are loyal to your princess. She would be touched if she heard that. But unfortunately, she can't save you." Rocky narrowed his eyes at her. He had hoped that she would be easily scared, but she was proving him wrong.

"Just kill me," Laney begged. She was already ashamed of herself. She would rather die than continue to be insulted by Rocky.

"That would be too good for you. I've never showed mercy to those who treated me wrongly in the first place," Rocky said coolly. His inscrutable expression only a

le to move.

"This is your last chance. You can leave if you tell me what you know. If you still refuse to tell me, I have no choice," Rocky warned for the last time.

"No more excuses..." Laney responded with a giggle.

It never occurred to Rocky that Laney would rather sacrifice herself than betray the princess, so he hesitated.

'Why didn't he kill me?' Laney wondered uneasily. Unfortunately, she wouldn't get any answers.

At this moment, a few women rushed into the cave. They were shocked to see Laney and shouted, "Miss Laney, are you all right?"

"How did you find me?" Laney's eyes widened in surprise when she saw that they were her subordinates.
