Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 825

Rocky was humming a cold tune when he turned to signal a small nod at Woods.

"Take your people out of here!" Woods shouted at Tod.

Tod felt a huge weight removed from his shoulder. He immediately did as ordered and took his men with him.

"Your Royal Highness, where have you been? We thought something bad had happened to you," Lucilla asked, feeling a wave of relief overcome her.

"When I woke up last night, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with a friend. I had to leave the Cao mansion early," answered Woods.

The people exchanged confused looks. His answer was strange. If Woods did leave, it was odd that no one saw him. He wasn't a spirit manipulator so he couldn't have just left in secret.

"Then what was Miss Juey of the Xiao Clan doing in your room? Miss Juey was the one standing beside Mr. Rookie. I heard that it was Miss Mary who went with you to your room last night," Lucilla continued to ask.

Woods turned to look at Juey. It was the first time that he had met Juey. He was clever, so he had figured out what was going on last night. At the same time, he also noticed that the way Rocky looked at Juey seemed to be different. So he had known what he should do next.

"Perhaps someone thought I'd easily be seduced by her. Maybe she was sent to me as a gift. I think the chief of Xiao Clan had something to do with it." Woods looked coldly at the kneeling Raef, and then looked at Mary. Rocky had told him that he was drugged. Raef was the only man he thought who could do it. He probably did it through Mary. After all, he sent her to serve him by his side during the dinner. Finally, Woods understood what had happened.

Raef broke out in a cold sweat. He was trembling in fear. "Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness," he said with a shaking voice. "I did not think it through. I do not mean to offend you."

The audience from the Cao Clan, including Lucilla, gasped. They did not expect that Raef had the guts to deceive the prince.

"Really?" Woods sneered. Then he walked up and sat down on the seat dedicated to Lucilla.

"What other excuse do you have, Chief Reaf?" Lucilla glared at Raef. It wasn't just his deception that angered her. She was mad at him for letting Juey take all the blame. She was his daughter. What he did was unthinkable for a father.

"Your Royal Highness, Chief Lucilla, I understand that what I did was wrong. But please, give me a chance. I didn't mean anything!" Raef cried in defense. He knew that if his sins were not forgiven, he and the entire Xiao Clan were doomed.

"Father, stop it. Own up to our mistakes. This is all our fault," Mary, who had been silently kneeling, finally burst. She looked at Raef and, with a serious look on her face, spoke up. "Your Royal Highness, Chief Lucilla, my father is behind this. He wanted to use Juey to take advantage of you. I regret to inform that I have been an accomplice."

The crowd erupted into a commotion.

"Chief Raef, how could you do such a thing?" Lucas said sternly, his face darkened.

"No. She's not the heir." Raef shook his head. He knew that if the Xiao Clan would fall under Juey's command, it would be doomed soon.

But Mary supported Rocky. "Your Royal Highness, Juey is indeed the heir."

"Mary, what are you talking about?" Raef shouted as he looked at Mary in astonishment.

"Father, you have promised Mr. Rookie that Juey would take over the leadership." Mary's face looked stern. She was being very careful. She could not risk making another mistake.

Raef was rendered speechless. He looked up at Rocky.

Rocky gazed at him with cold eyes. His face was expressionless, but deep inside he was sneering, 'Instead of correcting his mistake, Raef has the guts to use Juey. I need to make him resign from the chief in advance.' Raef could have reigned longer if only he did not provoke Rocky. But because he did, he had lost his seat and would be punished. It's what he deserved.

"Then from today on, Miss Juey will take over the position of the chief of the Xiao Clan. You all can serve as the witnesses," Woods announced.

The Xiao Clan members collectively gasped. Juey always held no status in the Xiao Clan, and then suddenly they were all under her command.
