chapter 13 The situation took a turn for the worse

After hearing Elody's words, everyone was stunned.
Elody was the apple of Hawk's eye. Many young masters had tried hard to pursue this beauty, but she had rejected them all.
Today, she would actually confess her love to Rocco, a reform-through-labor prisoner who had just been released from prison?
Axel, Marlowe and others' faces were burning, as if someone had slapped them in the face, and no one spoke with frowning eyes.
Elody's move was obviously deliberately told to everyone, just to slap them in the face.
Just now, he said that Rocco would never find a woman in his life, but in the blink of an eye, Elody confessed to him?
Axel gritted his teeth in anger.
What a joke!
Why did this loser get Miss's favor? Even he, Mr. Valois, didn't dare to have such a sweet dream!
As for Marlowe, she was even more depressed. She had just proudly announced that she had dumped Rocco, and she wanted to use this to humiliate Rocco.
Unexpectedly, Elody suddenly stood up and asked Rocco to be her boyfriend?
She was just from a small family. Compared with the daughter the Capet family, she, Marlowe Savoy, was nothing!
Thinking of this, Marlowe felt even more dull, and a strong sense of humiliation kept stinging her.
Seeing the sincere smile on Elody's face, Rocco was also in a daze. What was this girl doing?
After thinking about it, he realized that she was probably trying to save himself from the siege and didn't want to make it difficult for him to get off the stage in front of so many people.
But, by doing this, wouldn't Elody risk all her reputation?
After all, for the daughter of Capet family to confess her love to a reform-through-labor prisoner, it was not pretty to say!
"Thank you, Miss Capet, for your love, but I can't agree to it." Rocco was very grateful to Elody for helping him out, but he couldn't force things like feelings.
When he heard this, Axel hated him even more. Being able to date Elody was something that many people could only wish for. What was more, she took the initiative to confess her love, so how dare Rocco refuse?
He was really ignorant of praise!
However, Elody just smiled faintly, "It's okay, Rocco, I'll wait for you!"
After the dust settled, Rocco looked around the audience. Everyone trembled wherever he looked. This guy was so terrifying. He looked like a beast patrolling its prey.
"Everyone, get out. I have something to say with Mr. Flanders!" Talon issued an eviction order and the hotel door opened again.
The panicked guests did not dare to delay and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Eirlyns, the general manager of Mall Shopping Center, looked back at Rocco deeply and smiled. This man was very interesting.
Then she left.
Before leaving, Axel glared at Rocco fiercely, full of hatred, bastard, this matter was not over yet, let's wait and see!
"Mr. Flanders?" Hawk looked at Rocco, fearing that Talon would be detrimental to him.
"President Capet, thank you for your help today." Rocco nodded to Hawk, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
Hawk then left the hotel with his daughter.
"Elody, is what you said just now true?" Hawk asked when he came outside the door.
As a father, he naturally knew how high his daughter's vision was, and being able to say those words to Rocco showed that this girl was truly moved.
Elody stuck out her tongue coquettishly, "Hehe, I won't tell you!"
Immediately, she jogged into the car.
In the hall, only Rocco and the Thunder Gang were left.
"Say it." Even facing the prestigious Talon, Rocco remained as calm as water.
Talon's sudden change of attitude must had a profound meaning.
However, what no one expected was that Talon would bend his knees and kneel in front of Rocco, "Subordinate Talon, greet the young master!"
Ryder and all his subordinates were all dumbfounded. What was Mr. Talon doing? Even if Rocco was good at fighting, he wouldn't kneel down to him, right?
"Young Master?" Rocco didn't understand what he meant.
Talon nodded quickly, "Yes, your master was the master of the Dragon King Palace. Before he died, he gave you the Dragon Scale Jade Pendant, which means that you will inherit the position of the master!"
Dragon King Palace?
Rocco was even more confused.
"That's it!" Seeing that he didn't seem to know anything, Talon explained quickly.
It turned out that there were many little-known secret organizations in the martial arts world, among which there were four most powerful ones, divided into the south, east, north, and west, and commonly known as the Four Overlords!
Among them, the north one was the Dragon King Palace, and the owner of the palace was Rocco's master Blind Joan!
"Five years ago, my old master ordered me to go to Ocean State to found the Thunder Gang to expand its power. I didn't expect that we would say goodbye forever. Fortunately, we have a successor in the Dragon King Palace!"
Only then did Rocco know that his master had such a big background, but why didn't he tell him when he was in prison?
"My master was injured, what happened?" Recalling the dark palm print on Blind Joan's chest, Rocco felt uneasy.
Talon shook his head, "Not long after I left, internal strife broke out in the Dragon King Palace. The old master was injured by a traitor, but I don't know the specific situation."
Rocco was silent. His master told him before he died that he must not take revenge. The traitor must be very powerful, but who was he? He even killed his master?
"Find out for me who injured my master!" Rocco said coldly.
If the old injury hadn't recurred, his master would never have died, and this revenge must be avenged!
"Yes!" Talon respectfully accepted the order and said, "Young Master, you are only the nominal master of the palace now. If you want to formally succeed, you must be approved by the Council of Elders!"
"Every year on the second day of February, the Dragon King Palace will hold a meeting, and all the disciples will gather on Treasure Island. At that time, you must come forward!"
Rocco asked, "But, what if they don't agree?"
Talon thought for a moment, "You are the direct disciple of the old master, and you hold the Dragon Scale Jade Pendant. The Council has no reason to object. By the way, your senior brothers and sisters will also be there. If they can help, there will be no problem!”
Rocco nodded slightly. It seemed that he really had to go to Treasure Island on the second day of February.
He was not interested in the position of palace master, but he would never tolerate the traitor who injured his master!
However, there were still five months until the conference, so there was no rush.
"I will come to you if anything happens." After Rocco finished speaking, he walked out of the hotel.
"Yes!" Talon bowed and watched Rocco leave.
Ryder next to him was already paralyzed with fear. As Talon's subordinate, he had naturally heard about the Dragon King Palace.
It was rumored that the Dragon King Palace had dozens of branch sects in Sky Country, and the Thunder Gang was just one of them, and its power was unimaginable.
The person sitting on all this was actually a young man in his twenties?
And he actually fought against the palace master. He was seeking death!
Thinking of this, Ryder felt hot in his crotch and peed...
After leaving the hotel, Rocco was not in a hurry to go home, but took a casual stroll along the long street.
In two years, Ocean State had changed a lot, and many places felt strange even to Rocco, a local.
Uh-huh!
At this moment, a Cadillac flew past Rocco.
In the flash of lightning, Rocco quickly turned sideways, barely able to avoid the impact, but his phone flew out of his pocket.
Squeak!
The car stopped, and a man with oily hair and a powdery face pressed down the window and cursed in the direction of Rocco, "You are fucking blind, you are a bitch pretending to be dead!"
It was obviously him who drove the car onto the pedestrian street, but his words came out dirty.
Rocco glared at him, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over and drove away quickly.
Picking up the shattered cell phone, Rocco sighed.
This mobile phone was a birthday gift given to him by Marlowe two years ago, but now everything had changed.
Forget it, get a new one.
When he reached the end of the long street, he turned the corner and saw an impressive mobile phone store.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Hello, may I ask..."
As soon as Rocco walked into the store, a female clerk came forward quickly. When she saw the appearance of the person coming, she immediately showed contempt and sneered, "Hey, isn't this Rocco Flanders, released from prison?"
"Why do you, a reform-through-labor prisoner, come to our store? Are you here to beg for food?"
