Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 160 Report With Malicious Intent (Part Two)

As soon as Marin saw the expression on Rocky's face, she immediately frowned and narrowed herbeautiful eyes. She then withdrew her eyes, looked around the crowd, and said solemnly, "Now thatall of you are here, let me first talk about why I had to gather all of you here so urgently..."

"Today, as required by the Deputy Commander in Chief, I went to the base camp myself. As a result,I learned that some people from our northeast military camp have signed a petition to report mebecause of the fact that I have rewarded Rocky, the captain of the sixth squad with a first-classmerit,” Marin said in a seemingly calm way. But those who were listening all felt dreadful hearingher speaking tone.

"I can't believe someone had the guts to report our commander. Who would be so bold?" As soonas Deputy Commander Chen who was next to Marin heard that, he immediately exclaimed with alook of surprise.

At that precise moment, several captains of the spirit manipulator squads immediately looked atone another with confusion. After a moment, they all looked at Evan spontaneously. As a matter offact, those who had reported Marin to the Commander in Chief were the five captains from the firstto the fifth squad with Evan, the captain of the first squad as the major proponent. They were notsatisfied with Marin as she was the one who rewarded Rocky the first-class merit. They all regardedhim as the rubbish captain of the rubbish sixth squad, so they wanted to ask the Commander inChief to uphold justice and take back Rocky's reward

Of course, it never occurred to them that the Crimson Dragon Group's Commander in Chief andDeputy Commander in Chief were respectively Marin's uncle and cousin. It meant that reportingMarin would simply bring them more trouble. If it wasn't for the Deputy Commander in Chief, hercousin Isis who first saw the report and kept it to herself, the captains would have already been firedby now. The Commander in Chief, Isis's father treated Marin well as if she were his own daughter.Also, he hated those who dared to report their senior leader because of such small problems.

When some of the captains heard that Marin already knew about what they had done, they couldnot help but change their looks drastically. They all knew very well that if Marin were to investigatehow much they contributed to the plan, they would not be able to bear the consequences. OnlyEvan remained a little calm because he relied on his position in the northeast military camp and thesupport from his clan. He knew that even if Marin found out he was the one who led the othercaptains to report her, she would not dare to punish him at all.

Rocky who was standing next to the other captains heard Marin's words. He could not help but payhis attention to Marin who looked quite serious about the situation. In fact, he did not ask for suchrewards at all. Even if Marin didn't offer the reward to him, he would not have given it any thoughtsat all. So Marin was undoubtedly getting herself into trouble.

"I know that some of you must have taken part in signing the petition. But don't worry. This time I'mnot going to investigate anyone's responsibility, but I am simply warning all of you that such kind ofthing should never happen again. If you have any opinions about my decision, just talk to me andnever report to my senior leader without my knowledge. What's more, I can tell you very clearly thateven if you report me, it won't help at all. The only consequences of such behavior will be anembarrassment to yourself and a series of unnecessary troubles. So, when a similar thing happensnext time, don't say that I didn't warn you in advance..." Marin snarled coldly and sternly.Meanwhile, she glanced at the crowd sharply until her eyes finally fell on Evan and the othercaptains because she had a strong feeling that it must have been them who tried to report her. Shedidn't want to make a fuss about the small matter and possibly affect the morale of the entirenortheast military. Thus, as she had told them, she didn’t want to investigate the matter any further.But if they dared to do it again, she wouldn't hesitate to put her foot down

Apart from Evan, the other captains were terrified and couldn't help but tremble after being staredby Marin so coldly. They exchanged looks with one another and found all of them lowering theirheads. None of them even dared to take a deep breath.

"Well, this matter is behind us now. I don't want any of you to mention any of it in the future,” Marinsaid as she found her warning to have worked very well. After a pause, she added in a more serioustone, "When I came back from the base camp, I happened to have received a message that theTimber Deity Empire has been showing up frequently at the front line of our northeast military campin the last few days. They seem to be plotting against us. So, I hope you can keep your high spiritsand manage your own soldiers. Always keep your eyes open. Starting today, we'll increase the rangeand density of our patrols. The spies from the Timber Deity Empire are very likely to be hidingsomewhere within the jurisdiction area of our northeast military camp and are simply waiting forfurther actions. Attention, everyone! We have to stay on guard and never allow them to do anythingharmful to our empire.”

"Yes, Commander!" the crowd replied in unison.

"Well, that's all for today. You may all leave now. Rocky, stay for a while. I need to have a word withyou," Marin said and waved. At the same time, she threw a glance directly at Rocky.
