The Medallion

Chapter 1803 They Were Plotting Something

In the third round of the matches, Rocky was up against Lilith. However, to everyone's surprise, the latter gave up right at the start of the match, deliberately giving the victory to Rocky.

Therefore, after the first three rounds of battles, Rocky and Israel were tied for first place.

At the same time, all sorts of speculations and arguments were circulating among the crowd. Most of them knew that Basil had a mysterious past when he was still in the Sky-suppressing School. Then, not long after, he disappeared without anyone knowing where he had been to. But now, he had suddenly reappeared in the Spiritual Emperor Contest, astounding everyone with his brilliant performances. No wonder people had been so curious about him.

On the other hand, this was exactly what Rocky wanted. He planned to enter the final battle using his identity as Basil in a grand way. Then, of course, he would do everything to defeat any opponent, and win the championship. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

This way, not only could he make the other Godly Geniuses return to the Shura Race in crushing defeat, but it would also be convenient for him to launch his plans in the future using the identity as Basil.

However, it was inevitable that as he became more popular, more candidates felt jealous of him and threatened by him. Even just after his third win, many candidates already viewed him as a thorn in their flesh. They felt like they were being overshadowed and treated as inferior to him.

Likewise, the other Godly Geniuses also looked at him to be an additional, formidable enemy.

Then, later that night, someone unexpectedly came to Rocky's quarters and knocked on his door.

"Who is it?" Rocky asked with furrowed brows. He was actually in the middle of improving his Imperial Soul, and he was not expecting anyone to visit him.

"It's me! Don't you remember my voice? We just met yesterday." Upon hearing the voice from the other side of the door, Rocky instantly recognized that it was very familiar.

He was indeed right because it was none other than Gloria.

In fact, Rocky had already assumed that she might come to him soon enough. Afterward, he slowly got out of bed and opened the door. There, he saw her wearing purple clothes, and her hair was still a little damp as if she had just taken a shower. At the same time, a strong fragrance of flowers welcomed his nose.

Obviously, Gloria had come there planning something, and her seduction ploy was already at work.

Fortunately, Rocky had always been on guard against it. After all, he was well aware of how good Gloria's enchantment skill was, which could easily make weak-minded people lose their minds.

Then, after taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Rocky asked with a serious face, "Isn't it a little too late for you to visit me? What can I do for you?"

Rocky still had to ask, although he already had a hunch that Quentin and Drew asked her to come and seduce him.

In other words, he had already seen through their plan.

"Oh, nothing specific. I actually just happened to pass by. So, I came to see if you have already rested well. But since I'm already here, I might as well chat a little with you." Then, Gloria leaned towards Rocky and said flirtatiously, "Won't you invite me to your room?"

"I'm afraid that is not a good idea. It's already the middle of the night, and people might get the wrong idea if they saw us enter my room together." Rocky immediately made an excuse to refuse her.

"Do you really care what other people might think? We are just going to talk. It's their fault if their minds are so malicious," Gloria replied while pouting. At the back of her mind, she was actually a bit surprised that Rocky could say no to her. Logically speaking, a normal human being like him should be defenseless against her enchantment skill. In fact, even powerful members of the Shura Race could be affected by it.

"Well, I just don't want to get into any trouble. So, if you have anything to say, we can talk right here." Of course, Rocky clearly knew what Gloria was planning. Thus, he would not give her any chance to take advantage of him.

"Fine. I want to ask if you would like to cooperate with me." Gloria sensed that Rocky was not willing to give in, so she already came straight to the point.

"You want me to cooperate with you? How are we going to do that?" Rocky asked, pretending to be quite interested.

"It's actually very simple. All you need to do is deliberately lose to me when it's our turn to face on the battlefield. If I can win first place, I promise to give you a generous reward!" Gloria baited him with a coquettish wink.

"Um..." Rocky let out a reluctant expression, although he really had no intention of doing it.

"You don't have to think hard! The benefits that you can get from me are surely beyond what you can imagine. I swear!" Gloria continued to convince Rocky using her wily charms.

"Well, what benefits are we talking about?" Rocky probed further.

"No. You have to agree first before I tell you." Of course, Gloria would not easily show her hand.

"Why not? That's not fair!"

"What? Are you saying that I might cheat on you? Such a beautiful girl like me would never do that!"

"That is one more reason for me to be wary. Beautiful women are almost always dangerous. So, naturally, I am afraid that all of this is a trap. Anyway, how about this? I'll think about it first and then give my reply later. That should be fair for both of us!" Then, without even letting Gloria answer back, Rocky already closed the door.

"All right. I'll come back tomorrow evening. Be sure to give me your reply by then!" Gloria said from the other side of the door. She actually did not expect that Rocky would shut the door on her beautiful face. Hence, she pursed her lips in anger and eventually left.

"I'm sure Quentin and Drew are up to something. They even sent Gloria, thinking that her seduction skills will work on me..." After murmuring these words, Rocky opened the door and made sure that no one noticed him. Then, in the blink of an eye, he also vanished.

Meanwhile, after leaving Rocky's place, Gloria headed for a house in the Boundless Manor. Then, after carefully checking that no one else was around, she pushed the door open and entered. Immediately after, the door behind her closed.

At the same time, Rocky also appeared in the courtyard of the same house. He quickly approached the house silently to avoid being noticed by anyone.

Soon enough, he heard voices conversing inside.

"What happened? Did that Basil fall for it?" After hearing the voice, Rocky instantly recognized that it belonged to Quentin.

His prediction turned out to be right that Gloria went to him under the command of Quentin and Drew.

In fact, Rocky deliberately tailed Gloria to lead him towards Quentin and Drew. This way, he also had an informant from the inside to know about their plans.

Of the nine Godly Geniuses, aside from Israel, Quentin and Drew were also the ones to look out for. Their strength was indeed powerful, and their background was not something to be underestimated either. Therefore, Rocky deemed that these two Godly Geniuses needed to be handled as soon as he could. However, in order to make this plan succeed, every step must be done in secret, and Gloria would be the key. As long as she could win the trust of the two, it would create a chance for Rocky to take necessary actions.

Although it would not be difficult for him to handle any Godly Genius with his current strength, he still wanted to do things discreetly. After all, he might become a target of all the Godly Geniuses when they learned his true strength, leading to bigger trouble. Therefore, Rocky could only be patient for now. Then, when the right time came, he would deal with Quentin and Drew at the same time.

"Don't worry about it. He has no reason to refuse my offer." This time, Rocky heard Gloria's voice answer.

"Good. Once Basil lets down his guard in your battle, you will be able to easily kill him. After that, we will have one less hindrance to worry about. However, Israel remains to be the real threat. If only we can eliminate him as soon as possible, we can ensure that one of us will be the champion in the contest..." Drew spoke lastly.

'I see. They want Gloria to kill me directly.' After learning about these things, Rocky, who had been eavesdropping outside the house, could not help but let out a sneer. At this point, even as Basil, he was still a pain in the neck to the Godly Geniuses. However, this was just to be expected after Rocky deliberately made some flashy performances in his previous battles. Upon realizing that he was also someone that could be a burden to the Godly Geniuses, they naturally shifted their attention to him and

he became their target. Moreover, Rocky was sure that the other Godly Geniuses were also waiting for an opportunity to eliminate Valeria and Gloria as well.
