Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 179 The Truth Comes Out

"What is this scent? It's just a war beast at the second grade of the three-star level, but why does itlook somewhat familiar?" Marin looked very puzzled at the sight of the beast, because other thanher Verdanim in the northeast military camp, other spirit-manipulated beasts that were at thesecond grade of the three-star level were very rare in their area. It was definitely no wonder she wasso shocked to see a war beast with a level like this one in the camp!

The other troops present were also very shocked at the sight of this war beast, because just like aking of all beasts, it looked different from normal ones of its kind typically found in these parts. Ithad a very unique scent, and forged ahead with the vigor and vitality of the lion.

"Uriah! Sue!" Rocky shouted in surprise, his mouth agape at the sight of his friends.

What an unexpected turn of events!

"Mr. Bai!" Sue shouted as she leaped off Uriah and then rushed to him.

Uriah followed right after her.

"Didn't I tell you to leave here immediately?" Rocky frowned, seeing Sue rushing to him

"I waited for a whole night but you didn't come, so I could sense that something must havehappened to you. I insisted that Uriah bring me back. I could never leave you alone to face danger,”said Sue innocently and earnestly.

"May I ask who you are?" Marin asked. She found it very strange to see Sue. The puzzling andworrying exchange they just had concerned her even more.

"Ma'am, Mr. Bai killed someone because of me. If you must arrest someone, please arrest meinstead of him," said Sue, coming close to Marin.

"Because of you?" Marin was confused.

"Some soldiers from your military camp killed my grandpa and--and, tried to force themselves onme. Therefore, Mr. Bai killed them to save me," Sue said, her eyes filling with tears.

At this moment, Evan and Deputy Commander Chen were gobsmacked to hear what she said,because they had never expected the victim in question to come to Rocky's defense. DeputyCommander Chen had already gone to the village before, wanting to replace this girl whosegrandfather had been killed and whom Matthew had tried to rape. He had planned to force her toframe Rocky, but when he heard that Sue had already left the village, he instead gathered the othervillagers and forced them with threats so that they would agree to frame Rocky. It never occurred tohim that Sue would come back.

"Commander, don't believe what she said so easily. It seems to me that they are very familiar withone another, so perhaps she's just pretending to be that girl in order to save Rocky!" DeputyCommander Chen hurriedly said, shifting nervously where he stood.

"I know you wouldn't believe me, so I brought this. This is what was dropped by the man who triedto rape me!" Sue said defiantly, taking out a token from her cape with the word "one" on it.Everyone there, including Rocky, gasped in surprise.

Evan and Deputy Commander Chen turned pale as soon as they saw the token, because only spiritmanipulators at the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage in the northeast military camp were qualified towear it. The word "one" on it represented the squad of the spirit it belonged to.

The token must have fallen accidentally when Matthew was restraining Sue! Luckily, she had found itand kept it with her as she was in the process of tidying up the room before she left the village.When Marin saw the token, her face instantly darkened.

"Captain Evan, can you explain to me why the token of your first squad is in the hands of this girl?"Marin looked at Evan suspiciously.

"Em..." Evan was in a tight spot. Whatever he said, he wouldn't be able to get himself out of thismess easily.

"Deputy Commander Chen, how on earth did you look into this? I remember you told me that thegirl had already left the village, didn't you?" Marin interrogated him.

"Commander, she couldn't prove herself to be the girl even with the token..." Deputy CommanderChen now looked really anxious, and regretted with all his heart that he had let Evan sway him. Hewould still try to defend himself as best as he could, however.

"Guards, go bring me those villagers." Marin commanded, her eyes sharp and angry.

Deputy Commander Chen grew even more terrified when he heard this. Perhaps, Marin wassuspecting that he forced those villagers to frame Rocky!

Immediately, those villagers who testified that Rocky was the murderer were brought back in, andthey were very shocked to see Sue.

"They are all from our village!" Sue recognized that these villagers had been part of herneighborhood, but they all looked very strange and surprised.

Marin turned to those villagers after hearing what Sue said and demanded, "Do you know this girl?"Those villagers looked at each other and didn't dare speak, and they couldn't help but nervouslystare at Deputy Commander Chen, clearly terrified that if they said something wrong, they wouldput themselves in danger.

Their nervous looks towards Deputy Commander Chen confirmed Marin's suspicions. Immediately,she said, "Don't be afraid, just tell me the whole truth. No one will do anything to you. I will makesure of it. I am the Commander of the military camp. I can assure you that you can leave here safeand sound.”

Those villagers hesitated when they heard her, and one of them kneeled hurriedly and pleaded,"Commander, please forgive us! We did not lie deliberately. Someone threatened us with violence ifwe refused to accuse Rocky of murder!”

The rest of them kneeled following him.

Hearing that, Deputy Commander Chen turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Then who threatened you?" Marin asked sharply.

All the villagers looked at Deputy Commander Chen.

"Deputy Commander Chen, do you have anything to explain?" Marin had already suspected whyRocky would be set up, but she was still a bit surprised because she never had thought that DeputyCommander Chen would do such a thing.

"Commander, don't believe these unruly villagers, they must have consulted with Rocky and the girlcoming out of nowhere to set me up together!" Deputy Commander Chen was now very flustered,babbling senselessly.

"Then can you tell me why they would want to set you up?" They have nothing to do with you!"Marin questioned him sharply.

Deputy Commander Chen was speechless. He had no idea how to talk himself out of this one

"Sue, do you remember the face of the man who killed your grandpa?" Marin turned to Sue, askinggently.

"I do," said Sue nodding.

"Guards, bring Matthew to me!" Marin commanded. Evan and Deputy Commander Chen looked ateach other, anxious.

Before long, Matthew was carried there with almost half of his body paralyzed, but when he sawRocky still alive and Sue standing next to Marin, his face immediately drained of all its blood. He hadthought Rocky was surely dead, but apparently, the situation now was not what he had anticipated."Yes! Him! He is the murderer who killed my grandpa!” Sue shouted, pointing at him. Her distressedface was beet red and her eyes streamed with tears.

"He is the one who killed your grandpa, not me", said Matthew bluntly pointing at Rocky."Matthew, is this the very girl that you said was raped by Rocky?" Marin asked sneeringly afterhearing all this.

Unable to respond, Matthew looked stunned and could not help looking at Evan and DeputyCommander Chen.

But now Evan and Deputy Commander Chen became even more anxious. They had asserted that forsure Sue came out of nowhere, but Matthew admitted that Sue was the victim. Their stories wereobviously contradictory and full of holes. Marin's eyes swept over them, sending chills down theirspines.
