Rocot: Reborn

"I..." Starscream spoke with difficulty, but it seemed as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't utter a complete syllable. Black Widow's words were like sharp knives, cutting bloody wounds on her already tattered fantasy of love. Yes, Rocot always acted like a play to her, gentle but hypocritical, domineering but distant.

"Stop pretending, Starscream. You've been wanting to kick him out for a long time. Why are you pretending to be a pure virgin?" Black Widow sneered and lifted up Starscream's chin with her fingernail painted with bright red nail polish. "Look at your lack of ability. What good can you get from following him? In the end, won't you still be ordered around by him like a dog?"

Starscream slapped Black Widow's hand away, his eyes flashing with a fierce look, "Shut up! You don't need to interfere in what happens between him and me!"

"Oh, you dare to glare at me?" Black Widow smiled instead of getting angry, leaning close to Starscream's ear and speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Why, are you heartbroken? Are you reluctant to see him die? Let me tell you, a man like Roccod is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals. Do you think he really loves you? Don't be silly, he's just using you!"

Every word of Black Widow's words was heart-piercing, like a pair of red-hot iron pliers, fiercely clamping Starscream's heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She slumped in the chair, replaying every detail of her and Rocot in her mind. The tenderness and sweetness that once intoxicated her now turned into sharp blades, cutting her heart one by one.

"Think about it, what did he give you?" Black Widow pressed on, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Illusory promises? Or a love that is like a mirage? Wake up, Red Spider, in this world, only power and interests are eternal!"

Red Spider closed his eyes painfully, tears sliding down his pale cheeks. She knew that what Black Widow said was right. There was always a layer between Roccod and her. He never really trusted her, and never opened his heart to her.

"I can help you," Black Widow's voice suddenly became gentle, as if coaxing an ignorant child, "I can help you get everything you want, power, status, wealth, and even... love."

Starscream opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Black Widow in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

Black Widow walked up to Starscream and looked down at her with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes. "Kill Rocot and I can make you the new queen of Shadowland. Then you can have whatever you want and no one can stop you!"

Red Spider's heart began to beat violently. Black Widow's proposal was undoubtedly a huge temptation for her. Becoming the queen of the Shadow Kingdom was something she had never dared to think about before, and now, this opportunity was in front of her, as long as she was willing...

"How about it, Red Spider, have you thought it through?" There was a hint of temptation in Black Widow's voice, "Are you really willing to give up everything that is within your reach for a man who doesn't love you?"

Red Spider took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner fear and struggle, and slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with complex light, "I..."

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and a tall figure appeared at the door. His cold eyes swept over the two people in the room, and finally fell on Red Spider. His tone was as cold as ice from hell, "What are you doing?"

Starscream and Black Widow turned to look at the door at the same time, only to see Rocot standing there in black with an icy face, emitting a cold murderous aura, like a beast from the abyss, ready to devour anyone at any time.

When Starscream saw Roccod, he stood up hastily and said hesitantly, "Roccod, why... why are you back?"

Black Widow smiled contemptuously, walked to Rocot seductively, stretched out her fingers with bright red nail polish, gently stroked his cheek, and said with a hint of teasing, "Why, is our Dark Night King here to check on you? Don't worry, I didn't touch your people, I was just having a heart-to-heart with your little Spider."

Rocot grabbed the Black Widow's wrist, his eyes icy cold, "Talk? I think you want to seduce her to betray me?"

Black Widow frowned in pain, but still had a charming smile on her face, "Oh, how can you say that? I really want to help her, unlike some people who only know how to use her but never give her any promises."

"Shut up!" Roccod threw Black Widow away, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, "Do you think you can achieve your goal by sowing discord? I tell you, Starscream is my woman, for life!"

When Starscream heard what Roccod said, his heart trembled, and mixed emotions surged in his heart. Did he really care about her? Or did he just treat her as an object, a tool?

"Your woman?" Black Widow sneered, pointing at Starscream's nose and said, "Ask her, is she really following you willingly? She has paid so much for you, what have you given her? In addition to false promises, what else do you have?"

Rocot said nothing, but just looked at Starscream coldly, waiting for her answer.

Starscream bit her lip, struggling internally. She knew that Black Widow was right, she had given everything for Rocot, but he had never given her any promise, not even a sincere word.

"Why, you don't dare to say it?" Black Widow pressed on, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Or are you afraid that if you say it, it will anger him and make you lose everything you have now?"

"Enough!" Rocot suddenly roared, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire room. The Black Widow was forced to retreat repeatedly under this pressure, her face pale.

"Starscream is my woman, it's none of your business to tell her what to do!" Roccod said coldly, "How I treat her is my business, you'd better not interfere!"

Black Widow took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and sneered, "Okay, very good! Rocco, remember this, one day, you will regret what you did today!"

After saying that, Black Widow turned and walked away. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Red Spider, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Red Spider, I hope you can always be so happy, but I don't think you will be so happy!"

After Black Widow left, only Roccod and Red Spider were left in the room. The atmosphere was suffocating.

Rocot walked up to Starscream, raised her chin with his hand, and forced her to look him in the eye. "Tell me, do you believe what she said?"

Starscream looked at Roccod's cold eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She wanted to believe him, but she couldn't ignore the uneasiness and doubt deep in her heart.

"I……"

"Look into my eyes and tell me, what are you really thinking?" There was a rare tenderness in Rocot's tone, but his eyes were still as cold as ice, as if he could see through all her disguises.

Starscream took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Lockold, I..."

However, before she could finish, Rocot's face suddenly changed, and he pushed her away, holding his chest, and fell to the ground in pain.

"Rocot!" Starscream exclaimed, and hurried over to help him up, "What's wrong with you?"

Rocot's face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Hurry...quickly call a doctor!" Starscream's voice trembled. She didn't know what happened, but she had a bad feeling.
