Chapter 1803 They Were Plotting Something

In the third round of the matches, Rocky was up against Lilith. However, to everyone's surprise, the
latter gave up right at the start of the match, deliberately giving the victory to Rocky.

Therefore, after the first three rounds of battles, Rocky and Israel were tied for first place.

At the same time, all sorts of speculations and arguments were circulating among the crowd. Most of
them knew that Basil had a mysterious past when he was still in the Sky-suppressing School. Then, not
long after, he disappeared without anyone knowing where he had been to. But now, he had suddenly
reappeared in the Spiritual Emperor Contest, astounding everyone with his brilliant performances. No
wonder people had been so curious about him.

On the other hand, this was exactly what Rocky wanted. He planned to enter the final battle using his
identity as Basil in a grand way. Then, of course, he would do everything to defeat any opponent, and
win the championship.

This way, not only could he make the other Godly Geniuses return to the Shura Race in crushing
defeat, but it would also be convenient for him to launch his plans in the future using the identity as
Basil.

However, it was inevitable that as he became more popular, more candidates felt jealous of him and
threatened by him. Even just after his third win, many candidates already viewed him as a thorn in their
flesh. They felt like they were being overshadowed and treated as inferior to him.

Likewise, the other Godly Geniuses also looked at him to be an additional, formidable enemy.

Then, later that night, someone unexpectedly came to Rocky's quarters and knocked on his door.

"Who is it?" Rocky asked with furrowed brows. He was actually in the middle of improving his Imperial
Soul, and he was not expecting anyone to visit him.



"It's me! Don't you remember my voice? We just met yesterday." Upon hearing the voice from the other
side of the door, Rocky instantly recognized that it was very familiar.

He was indeed right because it was none other than Gloria.

In fact, Rocky had already assumed that she might come to him soon enough. Afterward, he slowly got
out of bed and opened the door. There, he saw her wearing purple clothes, and her hair was still a little
damp as if she had just taken a shower. At the same time, a strong fragrance of flowers welcomed his
nose.

Obviously, Gloria had come there planning something, and her seduction ploy was already at work.

Fortunately, Rocky had always been on guard against it. After all, he was well aware of how good
Gloria's enchantment skill was, which could easily make weak-minded people lose their minds.

Then, after taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Rocky asked with a serious face, "Isn't it a
little too late for you to visit me? What can I do for you?"

Rocky still had to ask, although he already had a hunch that Quentin and Drew asked her to come and
seduce him.

In other words, he had already seen through their plan.

"Oh, nothing specific. I actually just happened to pass by. So, I came to see if you have already rested
well. But since I'm already here, I might as well chat a little with you." Then, Gloria leaned towards
Rocky and said flirtatiously, "Won't you invite me to your room?"

"I'm afraid that is not a good idea. It's already the middle of the night, and people might get the wrong
idea if they saw us enter my room together." Rocky immediately made an excuse to refuse her.



"Do you really care what other people might think? We are just going to talk. It's their fault if their minds
are so malicious," Gloria replied while pouting. At the back of her mind, she was actually a bit surprised
that Rocky could say no to her. Logically speaking, a normal human being like him should be
defenseless against her enchantment skill. In fact, even powerful members of the Shura Race could be
affected by it.

"Well, I just don't want to get into any trouble. So, if you have anything to say, we can talk right here."
Of course, Rocky clearly knew what Gloria was planning. Thus, he would not give her any chance to
take advantage of him.

"Fine. I want to ask if you would like to cooperate with me." Gloria sensed that Rocky was not willing to
give in, so she already came straight to the point.

"You want me to cooperate with you? How are we going to do that?" Rocky asked, pretending to be
quite interested.

"It's actually very simple. All you need to do is deliberately lose to me when it's our turn to face on the
battlefield. If I can win first place, I promise to give you a generous reward!" Gloria baited him with a
coquettish wink.

"Um..." Rocky let out a reluctant expression, although he really had no intention of doing it.

"You don't have to think hard! The benefits that you can get from me are surely beyond what you can
imagine. I swear!" Gloria continued to convince Rocky using her wily charms.

"Well, what benefits are we talking about?" Rocky probed further.

"No. You have to agree first before I tell you." Of course, Gloria would not easily show her hand.

"Why not? That's not fair!"



"What? Are you saying that I might cheat on you? Such a beautiful girl like me would never do that!"

"That is one more reason for me to be wary. Beautiful women are almost always dangerous. So,
naturally, I am afraid that all of this is a trap. Anyway, how about this? I'll think about it first and then
give my reply later. That should be fair for both of us!" Then, without even letting Gloria answer back,
Rocky already closed the door.

"All right. I'll come back tomorrow evening. Be sure to give me your reply by then!" Gloria said from the
other side of the door. She actually did not expect that Rocky would shut the door on her beautiful face.
Hence, she pursed her lips in anger and eventually left.

"I'm sure Quentin and Drew are up to something. They even sent Gloria, thinking that her seduction
skills will work on me..." After murmuring these words, Rocky opened the door and made sure that no
one noticed him. Then, in the blink of an eye, he also vanished.

Meanwhile, after leaving Rocky's place, Gloria headed for a house in the Boundless Manor. Then, after
carefully checking that no one else was around, she pushed the door open and entered. Immediately
after, the door behind her closed.

At the same time, Rocky also appeared in the courtyard of the same house. He quickly approached the
house silently to avoid being noticed by anyone.

Soon enough, he heard voices conversing inside.

"What happened? Did that Basil fall for it?" After hearing the voice, Rocky instantly recognized that it
belonged to Quentin.

His prediction turned out to be right that Gloria went to him under the command of Quentin and Drew.



In fact, Rocky deliberately tailed Gloria to lead him towards Quentin and Drew. This way, he also had
an informant from the inside to know about their plans.

Of the nine Godly Geniuses, aside from Israel, Quentin and Drew were also the ones to look out for.
Their strength was indeed powerful, and their background was not something to be underestimated
either. Therefore, Rocky deemed that these two Godly Geniuses needed to be handled as soon as he
could. However, in order to make this plan succeed, every step must be done in secret, and Gloria
would be the key. As long as she could win the trust of the two, it would create a chance for Rocky to
take necessary actions.

Although it would not be difficult for him to handle any Godly Genius with his current strength, he still
wanted to do things discreetly. After all, he might become a target of all the Godly Geniuses when they
learned his true strength, leading to bigger trouble. Therefore, Rocky could only be patient for now.
Then, when the right time came, he would deal with Quentin and Drew at the same time.

"Don't worry about it. He has no reason to refuse my offer." This time, Rocky heard Gloria's voice
answer.

"Good. Once Basil lets down his guard in your battle, you will be able to easily kill him. After that, we
will have one less hindrance to worry about. However, Israel remains to be the real threat. If only we
can eliminate him as soon as possible, we can ensure that one of us will be the champion in the
contest..." Drew spoke lastly.

'I see. They want Gloria to kill me directly.' After learning about these things, Rocky, who had been
eavesdropping outside the house, could not help but let out a sneer. At this point, even as Basil, he
was still a pain in the neck to the Godly Geniuses. However, this was just to be expected after Rocky
deliberately made some flashy performances in his previous battles. Upon realizing that he was also
someone that could be a burden to the Godly Geniuses, they naturally shifted their attention to him and



he became their target. Moreover, Rocky was sure that the other Godly Geniuses were also waiting for
an opportunity to eliminate Valeria and Gloria as well.
