Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 136 Many Secrets

Afterwards, Rocky strode into the camp. Once inside, he saw that it was very simple. Actually, therewas nothing appealing to him except a few red-painted tables and chairs.

Meanwhile, Marin was sitting behind a wide red-painted table in the middle of the camp, watchingcarefully a copy of the battlefield report just handed in by her subordinates. When she saw Rockycome in, she immediately put down the battlefield report. She examined Rocky from head to feetand then motioned to him. "Please take a seat."

Upon hearing what Marin said, Rocky tried to avoid some of the hypocrisy and politeness. Afternodding his head, he sat aside and asked, "Commander, is there anything I can do for you today?""I checked your background and found out that you were exiled from the Imperial City for penalservitude, but I didn't replace any detailed information about you. Besides, I also heard that it was someroyal spirit manipulators who sent you here." Marin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She wastrying to probe Rocky with her stares. As soon as she came back, she sent someone to investigateRocky's origin and history, and she immediately found something unusual about him.

When Rocky was sent here, his identity was completely kept a secret. Only the royal spiritmanipulators who sent him had revealed their identities. They said something about Rocky's exilebut did not say anything else about Rocky's identity. So, of course, she couldn't replace out the detailedinformation about Rocky. He was like a person who had no past. It was no wonder that Marin feltstrange and curious about this, and she immediately called Rocky here to question him.

"Yes, that's right. Is there a problem about my identity?" Rocky said with a frown, his eyes turningdefensive. He didn't expect Marin to be quite smart and quick-witted. It surprised him that shebegan to doubt his identity in such a short period of time.

"What do you think?" Marin asked as she glared at Rocky with her sharp and beautiful eyes. Hersmile faded gradually. It was obviously illogical for a seemingly weak spirit manipulator to bepersonally sent to exile by the royal spirit manipulators. She knew there was something more to itthan what they were letting on. She had to figure out the true reasons.

If Rocky was sent to exile because he had committed some major crimes, of course there was noproblem with that. It was a normal thing and a common occurrence. However, what kind of crimehad he committed? It was unbelievable that he should have to be escorted to exile by several royalspirit manipulators. That itself was already an obvious sign that his exile had important reasons.Besides, Rocky had been giving off a mysterious aura in him. He was completely closed off. Thisquestion greatly aroused Marin's curiosity. Her intuition told her that there must be someunspeakable secrets in it.

"Commander, I'm surprised to see that you are so concerned about me. It makes me wonder if youhave any interest in me.” All of a sudden, Rocky asked with a slightly ambiguous tone. A smileappeared on the corners of his mouth and his eyes shifted from being defensive to flirty.

"What are you talking about? Who would be interested in you? You must be kidding me..." Marin'sgorgeous eyes widened. Her face flushed and she looked very angry. “This guy is too audacious. Ionly asked him a few questions, and he dared to say I am interested in him!" she thought to herself."Otherwise, why do you spend so much effort to investigate me? You even specifically called mehere to ask questions. People who do not know the situation will think that you have a crush onme," Rocky said arrogantly. He looked at her, unable to hide his grin.

In fact, Rocky said that to change the subject intentionally. He had to get her off his backimmediately, because if Marin continued to ask him more questions, he would not know how toanswer them. Judging from her intelligence, it was quite easy for her to reveal the loopholes in hiswords. If this kept up, his identity would be revealed sooner or later. Under such an emergency,Rocky deliberately changed the topic to divert her attention. It was smart to tease her, because shebecame completely flustered.

"You... You should know that you are now the interim leader of the sixth team, so of course I have toknow your background clearly," Marin quickly explained to him, trying to disguise herembarrassment. This sounded very reasonable, but because of Rocky's absurd accusations, her facehad turned red as a ripe apple. Her charming face was flushed, which looked even more attractive."If I remember correctly, I didn't personally promise to be a team leader.” Rocky shrugged. He neverdid agree to be the team leader. It was just imposed on him.

Marin never thought that Rocky would be so unreasonable. If it were for others, they would becompeting to be the team leader. But different from other people, Rocky seemed to care nothingabout fame and power. She immediately felt regretful. Had she known this, she should not havepromoted Rocky as the interim leader before.

"If you have so much spare time to investigate me, it is better for you to put a little more effort inreplaceing a responsible good leader for the sixth team. The previous one was barely satisfactory, so itmight give others an illusion that you have accepted some bribes from him. Of course, I believe thatyou are definitely not the kind of person who will pay attention to personal interests, but yourability of identifying others’ capabilities is a little bit..." Rocky seemed to be intentionally trying topiss Marin off. He ignored her gloomy face and tried his best to dig at her with a touch of sarcasmin his voice. He made great efforts to completely shift her focus away from him.

"Since you don't want to be the team leader so much, then I must go against your wishes. Guesswhat? I insist on letting you become the team leader. From now on, you are the leader of the sixthteam. If anything goes wrong with the sixth team, you will have to take all the responsibilities. Nexttime, don't think you'll be as lucky as this one. It will be rather difficult for you to bring back all themembers of the sixth team safe and sound. I want you to remember that good luck cannot alwaysfavor you. You are in charge of the sixth team now. You have to fulfill all your responsibilities.” Infact, even Marin thought that Rocky merely depended on his good luck to safely bring back all themembers of the sixth team. After all, considering the fighting capacity of the sixth team, it wasalmost a miracle that all the team members could successfully escape when confronted with such apowerful spirit-manipulated beast. Of course, there was no denying that Rocky must also be smart.Otherwise, he would not have thought of using mud to hide their smell to avoid being chased bythe spirit-manipulated beast. If they had not completely covered their tracks with the mud, the sixthteam might have been wiped out.

"If you have nothing else to say, I'll go first." Rocky, however, took her words in complete disregard.He sneered, and without waiting for Marin to speak, he stood up and went away.

"This guy..." At this point, Marin's beautiful face was flushed once again. However, this time it wasn'tfrom embarrassment. She couldn't help turning red out of anger, and she desperately wanted to callRocky back and give him a good beating to vent out her anger. Who the hell was he to provoke herin such a way? Why did she have to meet such a troublesome being? That was unfair! Truthfully, thereason why she named Rocky as the leader of the sixth team was actually a little out of her own self-interest. It was because she was afraid that Rocky would tell others what he saw in the stable thatday. After all, she was the commander of this military camp. If that kind of thing was spread out, itwould definitely have a bad effect on her. She had a reputation to keep. Worse, since she was afemale, she definitely could not let others know about it. Therefore, she decided to promote Rockyto be a small leader, which was a disguised bribe with an intention to let him keep her secret.Anyway, the sixth team couldn't perform any important tasks, so it didn't make any difference whowould be its leader. It intrigued her why Rocky seemed to take no interest in becoming a smallleader. Others would have done anything to get that position. She was definitely full of surprises.
