Chapter 1052 The Shocking Truth

Meanwhile, in the hall, Elvis shifted his gaze to Rocky as soon as Jason left, and felt a little bit
confused.

At that moment, the crowd began whispering to each other to discuss what was happening around
them.

"Father..." Sabina placed her hand on her father's shoulder as a form of reminder.

Elvis suddenly came to his senses and said to the people in the hall, "What happened just now was
just a little misunderstanding. I hope you don't mind. Moreover, the banquet is ready for you to enjoy!"

Soon after, a few maids entered the hall, leading the crowd out of the Celestial Hall to the banquet hall.

"Follow me." Elvis nodded to Sabina and Rocky after seeing everyone gone.

After a few moments, the three of them finally arrived at Elvis' study.

"Sabina, who is this man?" Elvis asked as he stared at Sabina, wanting an immediate answer.

"Hey, can I tell him?" Sabina turned to look at Rocky and inquired respectfully.

Without uttering a single word, Rocky directly took off his bamboo hat. Elvis took a closer look at the
man and was discombobulated. In fact, Elvis never thought that Rocky would look much younger than
he had imagined, and even seem to be younger than his daughter. However, this was the young man
who forced Jason, a master at the Divine Stage, to leave the hall with a single move. It was
unbelievable!

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Chief Elvis." Rocky greeted Elvis with a little bow and cupped hands.



"The pleasure is mine, too, young man." The more Elvis looked at Rocky, the more confused he
became. At that moment, he found that Rocky's action was steady and generous, and he was neither
humble nor pushy in front of a famous chief like him. However, what surprised him the most was finding
out that Rocky had a faint temperament of the royal family. Thinking about it deeply, he could only
assume that this could only be acquired by people born in the royal family.

"I know you must have a lot of questions for me, so, please, go ahead!" Rocky said with an
encouraging smile upon seeing the mixed emotions on Elvis' face.

"Tell me, who on earth are you?" Elvis couldn't help but raise his tone as his face became more
serious.

"Father, he is Prince Basil," Sabina answered in a very severe tone.

"Prince... Basil... You are Prince Basil?! But how could that be? Isn't Prince Basil dead?" At that
moment, Elvis was even more surprised to learn his identity. All his life, he had never thought that
Prince Basil, whom he had worshiped before, would appear in front of him again.

"No. In fact, Prince Basil never died in the first place. We only assumed he's dead because of some
reasons," Sabina expounded.

However, this did not give Elvis the clarity he needed, because this matter was obviously more
complicated than it seemed. Prince Basil was not dead, and he appeared in the Ji Mansion secretly.
Moreover, he could not get over the fact that his daughter had already known that Prince Basil was not
dead.

"I saw this coming. I know that it will take you some time to accept this, but that's the truth," Rocky said
with a grave look on his face.



"What is going on?" After sorting out his thoughts, Elvis looked at Rocky and Sabina who were both in
front of him. In fact, he could vaguely remember what Prince Basil looked like. The last time he saw
him was a few years ago, and at that time, as far as he knew, Prince Basil and Rocky were not the
same person. However, his daughter had just divulged and confirmed Rocky's true identity. At that
moment, he had to believe that the man in front of him was Prince Basil, the great hero who had risked
his life for the country.

Soon after, Rocky told Elvis the whole story, but he left out the information about who was responsible
for framing him up back then.

"So, General Marcia and General Lance have known for half a year that you are still alive?" Elvis said
in surprise. In fact, he never expected that Marcia and Lance knew the truth about Prince Basil for
more than half a year and even kept this secret from him.

"Yes. If my father were not missing, then the information about my false death would have been
unveiled after my return to the Holy Dragon Empire. But after I came back to the Holy Dragon Empire, I
found out that he was missing all of a sudden and Alston became the acting emperor. Therefore, I
didn't reveal to the public that I am still alive so that we can find the reason for my father's
disappearance and it's because I have some other concerns," Rocky explained.

"Logically speaking, despite the emperor's disappearance, nothing can stop the people from knowing
that you're still alive, Prince Basil. On the contrary, the news that Prince Basil is still alive would be a
good thing for the Holy Dragon Empire at that time! However, I wonder what other concerns you have
in mind." At that moment, Elvis deserved to be the chief of the Ji Clan. After all, he was so level-headed
with the matter that he immediately pointed out the key point.

Soon after, Sabina glanced at Rocky again and asked, "So, can I tell him?"



Rocky didn't speak as he hesitated for a moment. After all, his concern was exactly about the current
acting emperor, Alston. This matter was of great importance, so he had to take his time to consider it.
On the other hand, if he didn't tell Elvis the truth, then it would be hard for him to gain the support of the
Ji Clan. But if he told him, he was still unsure if Elvis would believe him.

After thinking about it with careful consideration, Rocky gave Sabina a quick nod.

"Father, Prince Basil didn't perish with the troops of the Timber Deity Empire at that time. Instead, the
troops of the Timber Deity Empire that escorted him were attacked by a group of unidentified people,"
Sabina said with a frown.

"What? Attacked?" Elvis was stunned to hear this. Back then, different versions about the death of
Prince Basil circled the empire. The most credible one was that Prince Basil pretended to betray the
country in order to save Sabina and the others. It was said that while he was being escorted to the
Timber Deity Empire, he fought with the troops of the Timber Deity Empire and finally died. Needless to
say, from that version of the story, people regarded Prince Basil as a great hero of the Holy Dragon
Empire. But now, Prince Basil was in front of him and even told him what really happened about his
"fake death". Even Elvis, who had experienced countless shocking events in his lifetime, was a little
surprised to hear such information.

"Yes, and these mysterious people are from the Holy Dragon Empire," Sabina said with firm resolution.

"Someone intended to kill Prince Basil then, so he ambushed and attacked the troops of the Timber
Deity Empire that escorted Prince Basil. After succeeding, he spread the fake news that Prince Basil
had perished together with the troops of the Timber Deity Empire. Did I get it right?" Elvis speculated.

"Yes. Back then, these mysterious people wanted to use me to kill the sixth prince of the Timber Deity
Empire at the cost of a war between the two countries." Reliving what happened in the past was an



indescribable scar for Rocky because Sue died in front of him at that time, and there was nothing he
could do to save her.

"I can't believe it! Who would do such a thing? Do you have any idea who sent these mysterious people
to kill you? How could they be so cruel and merciless to you? How could they be so despicable to even
want to let the Holy Dragon Empire fall into endless war?" Elvis couldn't help but get angry upon
learning all of this.

"Father, perhaps, you don't believe him, but please listen carefully. What he is about to say next is the
real truth," Sabina said as she tried to mentally prepare her father for what he was about to hear. After
all, ordinary people would never believe what Rocky was about to say anyway.

"The mysterious people were sent by Alston," Rocky divulged the secret with his eyes narrowed.
