The Medallion
Chapter 1625 A Good Attitude

All the people present were surprised to see Ishaan's amiable attitude towards Rocky. Everyone in the Sky-suppressing City knew that Ishaan was the most trusted confidant of the young master of the Sky- suppressing Mansion. He was in charge of a lot of important matters for the Sky-suppressing Mansion, and definitely held a great deal of power. Therefore, there were very few people that Ishaan would humble himself for and speak kindly to. Judging by this, it was apparent that this Rocky was a special person.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Basil," Rocky replied with cupped hands. He didn't intend to hide his identity, because he knew that as soon as Ishaan heard his name, he would look at him differently. Only by gaining Ishaan's respect could Rocky get close to him.

Sure enough, Ishaan said slowly, "Basil? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before." He found the name very familiar, but he couldn't place it.

"I'm serving under Commander Tucker Wang." Rocky continued to introduce himself, knowing that it would jog Ishaan's memory.

"Wait, are you Spiritual King Basil? One of the representatives from the Sky-suppressing School who participated in the Spiritual Infant Contest?" Ishaan exclaimed in surprise. No wonder he had found the name familiar! Long ago, there had been a dark horse called "Basil" from the Sky-suppressing School, who had defeated Moore Duan, the young elite of the Sky-suppressing Mansion.

"Yes, I am." Rocky nodded noncommittally, as if it was no big deal.

All the people present were either rich or powerful members of the Sky-suppressing Mansion and the nearby towns, so they all had their own information networks and were somewhat familiar with Basil's achievements. So naturally, after hearing the man in front of them introduce himself as Basil, they immediately burst into an uproar. They had not expected this stranger to be Basil, the warrior who had gained a lot of attention in the border battlefield recently.

"So he is Spiritual King Basil," one of them gasped.

"I didn't expect him to be so young. I heard that he has made many extraordinary achievements in the border battlefield recently!" another commented.

"Exactly! I heard that he is very skilled in using mysterious military arrays, which made the army of the spiritual race suffer a lot."

"The most classical one is the battle of defending the Tiger Whisker Pass. The spiritual race lost tens of thousands of soldiers in that battle!"

All kinds of discussions ensued.

"I didn't expect you to be so famous!" Shirley leaned in and whispered.

Rocky shrugged with a small smile on his face. He was used to being the center of attention.

"Is this spiritual beast yours, Spiritual King Basil?" Ishaan finally noticed Kohen, the beast next to Rocky. His eyes immediately lit up, because he could see that Kohen was no ordinary beast. "Yes," Rocky replied simply.

"I have seen countless beasts, but I have never seen anything like this before. Is it not a spiritual beast, but a diabolic beast?" Ishaan raised his head and looked at Kohen carefully. But even after taking in the smaller details, he couldn't tell where Kohen came from.

"No, it isn't a diabolic beast. It was cultivated by fusing the excellent genes of several powerful spiritual beasts. It is unique in the Supreme Ether Land," Rocky explained.

"Really?" Ishaan became excited at once, because if that was the case, then he definitely wanted to get his hands on this spiritual beast. He was willing to shell over a lot of money for it.

"Of course. I wouldn't dare to lie to you. What's more, its saliva has some miraculous effects," Rocky continued. He wanted Ishaan to take the bait.

"What effects?"

"Well, I can only tell you in private. Others will be jealous if they hear it," Rocky said with a small smirk.

Ishaan nodded knowingly and then waved his hand. "Spiritual King Basil, come with me to my place. Let's talk over a cup of tea."

His words caused an uproar among the crowd. Ishaan would only invite big shots with a lot of power and influence to his private place. Since he invited Basil to his place, it was obvious that he valued him very much.

Rocky put Kohen away and left the beast evaluating room with Shirley, following Ishaan, who led them to a luxurious hall in the depths of the Spiritual Beast Palace.

Inside the hall, there were a group of beautiful women dancing merrily. People who didn't know what kind of place this was might mistake it for a brothel.

As soon as Rocky, Shirley, and Ishaan entered the hall, those beauties swarmed up to them.

"Mr. Gao, you're back!"

"Are these two gentlemen our guests today? They are so handsome!"

"Yes, they are! The more I look at them, the more I like them!"

Soon, Rocky and Shirley were surrounded by these beautiful women, who were teasing them and trying to cozy up to them.

It was not a big deal for Rocky. But as a girl, Shirley felt uncomfortable with these women's advances. Therefore, her delicate face was very cold.

"Stop it. If you scare the guests away, I won't spare you!" Ishaan said immediately.

Hearing that, the beautiful women scattered and continued to dance.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen," Ishaan said, sitting down on the wooden armchair in the hall.

Rocky and Shirley sat on the opposite side.

"Aren't you still working for Commander Wang, Spiritual King Basil? Why did you suddenly come to my Spiritual Beast Palace in the Sky-suppressing City?" Ishaan asked. He was a cautious man, and he found Rocky's visit quite suspicious.

"I think you're quite trustworthy, so I'll tell you the truth. I have a mission to do in the Sky-suppressing City, but I don't know anyone here, so I want to replace a noble person to help me. I heard that you are very kind and willing to help others, so I've taken the liberty of disturbing you," Rocky said.

"So you used your spiritual beast as bait?" Ishaan was not one to fall for flattery. He immediately saw through Rocky's tricks, and felt a little unhappy that he had been fooled.

"If you are interested in my spiritual beast, I am willing to give it to you for free... but only if you can help me complete my mission," Rocky proposed without hesitation. "Really? What is your mission, Spiritual King Basil?" Ishaan asked curiously.

"Commander Wang intercepted a piece of important information during the battle with the spiritual race not long ago. According to the information, we have good reason to suspect that there is a traitor colluding with the spiritual race in the Sky-suppressing Mansion. My mission is to replace that traitor!" Rocky said directly.

As soon as Ishaan heard this, there was an imperceptible change in his expression. He hadn't expected that Tucker would intercept such information.

"Mr. Gao, is something wrong?" Rocky asked deliberately when he saw that the man in front of him stayed quiet.

"No, no. I'm just a little shocked to hear that there is a traitor in our Sky-suppressing Mansion. Are you sure that the information is accurate, Spiritual King Basil?" Ishaan asked tentatively.

"It shouldn't be wrong. A commander of the spiritual race said so," Rocky replied.

"Do you know the identity of this traitor?" Ishaan continued to ask.

"If I did, I wouldn't have come here and bothered you," Rocky replied with a helpless smile.

"Well, if there really is a traitor in our Sky-suppressing Mansion, I will spare no effort to help you replace him, Spiritual King Basil. But this is no trivial matter, so I will have to inform our young master about it first." Obviously, Ishaan was using Canaan as a stalling tactic.0000
