As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Marin's camp, Rocky heard the sound of people arguing inside. It seemed the dispute was about what happened at the front line.
"Commander, I think the issue still needs to be discussed further. If we send troops to the front line rashly, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary disputes." Came the solemn voice of Deputy Commander Chen.
"Yeah, I agree with him. We haven't investigated the identity of the two spies yet. More importantly, we haven't captured the person who murdered our people stationed at the outpost of our front line." Another solemn voice rang out.
"Aside from the Timber Deity Empire, who else will engage in this kind of plot? Not only have they sent spies to our empire, but they have also killed our people to challenge us and establish their authority. Do you know what I think? I think the Timber Deity Empire wants to provoke us to start a war. Since they dared to act so blatantly within the area of our northeast military camp, I will not let them go easily..." Marin's indignant screams echoed so loud it could be heard from outside.
"Right, has Rocky come back now?" Marin asked suddenly.
"Not yet," Deputy Commander Chen answered.
"The final destination for the secret mission that I assigned to him was the outpost at the front line where the slaughtering incident happened. If he's not lucky, I am afraid... It was all my fault. I shouldn't have sent him to carry out the secret mission," Marin said regretfully. There was a hint of sadness and guilt in her voice.
"Yeah? Then why did you send me to carry out the secret mission? Commander, I guess you sincerely wanted me to get killed." At that point, Marin and the two Deputy Commanders heard the bantering sound from outside the camp and looked up to find its source. Immediately, they saw a figure walked in. His face was all-too-familiar.
"Rocky, you are back!" they exclaimed in surprise. When the three saw Rocky appear in front of them, they looked a little bit shocked. They didn't expect Rocky to make it back safely.
"Why are you so surprised? Don't you want me to come back?" Rocky asked. His voice was sarcastic.
"No, no… We just thought you..." Deputy Commander Chen stuttered. He then dismissed it by waving his hand, thinking that Rocky was so lucky to have escaped from the horrible incident.
Both Marin and the other Deputy Commander held the same kind of thought. He often seemed to be quite lucky, especially in the face of danger.
What they would never have imagined though, was that it was Rocky who had killed the two spies. Not only that, he was also responsible for the death of several mercenaries who had slaughtered the soldiers and the spirit manipulators from the outpost. If Marin knew the truth, Rocky would definitely be rewarded another big merit.
However, Rocky certainly did not plan to let Marin know what he did. He wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for the unnecessary trouble!
"It's good to see you back!" Marin breathed a sigh of relief. The guilt in her voice had disappeared. Earlier, in order to find out more secrets about him, she sent Rocky to perform the secret mission. Meanwhile, she ordered one of her subordinates to follow Rocky on the way, but somehow, the subordinate lost him halfway. Then, the two spies who were suspected from the Timber Deity Empire were found dead. Rocky suddenly disappeared from then on. After that, she received news that the outpost at the front line was attacked and that no one had survived. If anything bad happened to Rocky during that time, she would naturally be blamed for it.
