Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 179

"What is this scent? It's just a war beast at the second grade of the three-star level, but why does it look somewhat familiar?" Marin looked very puzzled at the sight of the beast, because other than her Verdanim in the northeast military camp, other spirit-manipulated beasts that were at the second grade of the three-star level were very rare in their area. It was definitely no wonder she was so 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 a king of all beasts, it looked different from normal ones of its kind typically found in these parts. It had 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 have happened 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 and worrying exchange they just had concerned her even more.

"Ma'am, Mr. Bai killed someone because of me. If you must arrest someone, please arrest me instead 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 on me. 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. Deputy Commander Chen had already gone to the village before, wanting to find this girl whose grandfather had been killed and whom Matthew had tried to rape. He had planned to force her to frame Rocky, but when he heard that Sue had already left the village, he instead gathered the other villagers and forced them with threats so that they would agree to frame Rocky. It never occurred to him that Sue would come back.

"Commander, don't believe what she said so easily. It seems to me that they are very familiar with one another, so perhaps she's just pretending to be that girl in order to save Rocky!" Deputy Commander 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 tried to 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 spirit manipulators at the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage in the northeast military camp were qualified to wear 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 it and 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 this mess easily.

"Deputy Commander Chen, how on earth did you look into this? I remember you told me that the girl 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 Commander Chen now looked really anxious, and regretted with all his heart that he had let Evan sway him. He would still try to defend himself as best as he could, however.

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