The other elite disciples activated their internal energy and were about to attack Jewel. Suddenly, there was a loud shout and Rogart strode over with a solemn look on his face. “Stop!”
When he arrived, he glanced around and scolded, "How dare you be so discourteous to my distinguished guest! Back off!"
The elite disciples quickly retreated.
Rogart looked at Jewel with a smile. "Sorry. The Heavenly Alliance is still new and these disciples still aren’t familiar with the rules."
Then, his grin grew wider as he continued. "I thought that you wouldn’t consider my request. I’m surprised you came by. I am so honored to have received your trust."
After that, Rogart looked around and noticed that Jewel was alone and felt even more at ease.
‘Jewel turned up alone! It’s going to be much easier to attack the Green Dragon clan,’ he thought.
Jewel smiled and said, "Let's go."
Rogart nodded. Then, he thought of something and politely said, "Miss Jewel, wait for a minute. Please allow me to give instructions to my people before we go."
With that, he quickly walked into the hall. Once inside, he summoned Cayden and whispered, “Tell everyone to follow us quietly. Remember, don’t come too close. I’ll leave a trail along the way.”
“Understood!" Cayden nodded quickly.
Rogart gave a few more orders before he walked out of the main hall and set off with Jewel toward The Legendary Island of Dragons.
Along the way, Rogart behaved like a gentleman. He was talking and laughing with Jewel the whole way. Slowly, Jewel let her guard down around the funny and witty Rogart. Little did she know that thousands of Heavenly Alliance members were following them.
However, as soon as Jewel turned around, Rogart took out two long objects and pierced them into Jewel's back, along her spine at lighting speed.
They were the Trap Dragon Thorns.
Rogart, as the envoy from the Godly Region, was aware of the weaknesses of the Green Dragon clan, so he prepared the Trap Dragon Thorns in advance to launch a sneak attack on Jewel. He knew that it would be difficult for him to win a fight against Jewe.
Rogart was too fast for Jewel’s reflex to kick in. She jolted and instantly lost her balance, plunging straight to the ground. 10 years ago, when Jewel was still a human, the Trap Dragon Thorns would have had no effect on her. However, Jewel possessed the dragon’s body. Her hands became frozen after she was assaulted by Rogart’s Trap Dragon Thorns.
Rogart was very proud of the surprise attack. He whizzed forth and grabbed the falling Jewel.
Jewel was both surprised and angry as she shouted at Rogart, "Let me go! Why did you attack me? What did you put in me?"
