Chapter 1678 Internal Injuries

"Miss, I don't even know you. We're not enemies. Why would you launch a sneak attack on me?"
Rocky asked in disbelief.

For a moment, Valeria was speechless. Then she yelled, "You're the one who disrespected me first!"

"How could I be disrespectful to you? Did you not hear me before? I don't even know you!" Rocky was
at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.

"Well, your upper body is naked." Valeria raked her eyes over Rocky's naked upper body once more
before withdrawing them in a hurry.

"So what? There are no rules against it. Even if I were taking a bath here, it would have nothing to do
with you. You're the one who broke in here," Rocky replied in a smug tone.

"You..." Valeria trailed off. Frustration was filling her like air in a balloon. She had gotten lost and
stumbled in. She hadn't done it on purpose.

"Never mind. I'm a generous man. I forgive you. Just go!" Although Valeria was a beautiful woman,
Rocky had no interest in her.

Valeria had been spoiled since she was a child. She wasn't used to being brushed off. Her gorgeous
eyes widened and turned angry within seconds.

"Are you not going? Fine. I'll leave." When Valeria stayed planted in place, Rocky turned around and
began dressing.

"Wait!" Valeria yelled.

However, Rocky ignored her, leaving without a second glance.



"That guy was so arrogant!" At first, Valeria was tempted to chase after him, but as soon as she took a
step forward, pain radiated in her chest. Her injuries forced her to give up.

As soon as Valeria returned to her place, she sat down angrily, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hey, Valeria. What happened? You weren't gone very long. What could have made you this angry?"
Elder Leticia asked with a smile when she saw the expression on Valeria's face.

"I have a good reason! When I left, I never thought I'd find a pervert in the leader's mansion," Valeria
snapped.

"What? I hope you taught him a lesson. You're strong. He shouldn't be able to get away with offending
you."

"I did teach him a lesson, but in the end..." As Valeria spoke, her hands covered her chest.

When she saw that, something clicked in Elder Leticia's mind. Approaching Valeria, she put two fingers
together and tapped two times on her chest. Then she grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse.

"You have internal injuries?" Elder Leticia was taken aback. Valeria was strong enough that no ordinary
person should be able to hurt her.

"I'm fine. The attack backfired when I wasn't paying attention," Valeria said with a pout.

"What? Is he stronger than you?"

"No. He was using a treasure to protect himself. I was too careless!"

"Nevertheless, your injuries still need to be treated. Let's go inside so I can start." Elder Leticia couldn't
wipe the worry from her face.

Valeria nodded and followed her into the inner hall.



Meanwhile, when Rocky returned to the Ghost Palace, he saw Peter coming out with some medicine in
his arms.

"Nice to see you, sir," Peter said respectfully.

"You too. Did you get another headache?" Rocky knew that Peter suffered from migraines, so he often
came to Esteban for medicine.

"Yes. Where are you coming from?" Peter asked casually, adjusting the stacks in his arms.

"I was just taking a walk. By the way, I heard that the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief is here," Rocky
said, deciding to try if he could get something useful from him.

"Yes. I heard that the leader sent someone to invite you to meet her."

"Yes. I didn't have time. Have you ever seen what the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief looks like?"

"No. Her face is covered by a veil, so I couldn't make out any of her facial features. But I bet she is a
beauty. You're a lucky man," Peter said in a voice coated with excitement.

"Really? Do all the women from the Flower Fief wear veils?" Rocky asked.

"I don't think so. The Godly Genius of the Flower Fief is the only person wearing one," Peter answered.

Rocky thought to himself, 'Wait. Oh no. Is the woman I just met the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief? It
would explain why she was so domineering. And she was a beauty, at least by the standards of the
Shura Race.'

"Well, our leader has stressed the importance of you meeting the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief when
you have the time. Don't be rude and ignore her," Peter reminded him.



"I know what I'm doing. Goodbye, Steward Peter." Smiling, Rocky headed straight into the Ghost
Palace.

As he thought over Rocky's response, Peter muttered internally, 'Why is he acting so strange?'

Two days went by

and Rocky still hadn't gone to visit Valeria. Elder Leticia couldn't wait any longer. She immediately
demanded a visit with Gilbert to express her dissatisfaction.

"Leader Gilbert, I'm starting to think that your Godly Genius looks down upon us. It has been two days
and we haven't seen him. Is he hiding from us on purpose?" Elder Leticia asked, scowling.

"Elder Leticia, that's not the case. The temperament of our Godly Genius is a little different. Esteban,
his master, may have influenced him negatively. Please do not judge him so harshly. In the meantime,
I'll send someone to speak to him. I promise I'll bring him to you no matter what." Gilbert had a plan for
the two Godly Geniuses to get engaged, so he couldn't have Rocky ruining everything. He sent for his
men and told them to fetch him immediately.

But the people he sent to bring Rocky to him couldn't fulfill their mission. Rocky was nowhere to be
seen. They asked Esteban where he was, but they were scolded by Esteban and then driven out.

When they returned to report it to Gilbert, embarrassment flushed over him.

"What do you think we should do, Leader Gilbert?" Elder Leticia's face darkened.

"Well..." Gilbert felt a headache forming across his temple. But he was the leader of the Ghost Fief. If
he couldn't even deal with Rocky missing, then he was useless. Therefore, he immediately promised,
"Elder Leticia, I will bring him to see your Godly Genius personally before nightfall."



"I believe you will. But, if your Godly Genius is still this hard-headed, I may have to persuade our leader
to rethink the alliance." After saying that, Elder Leticia turned around and left.

"Send everyone out. Bring the Godly Genius back before dark," Gilbert ordered with a hint of anger in
his voice.

Soon, the whole leader's mansion was full of people. Many officials and most of the guards scoured the
whole Ghost Capital for signs of Rocky.

Meanwhile, Rocky was practicing medicine in the slum and he did not know that the whole leader's
mansion was looking for him.

"Sir..." As soon as Rocky finished treating a patient, he looked up to find Grey running towards
him.
