Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 181

"Commander... Didn't you just say you would spare my life?" Matthew began to blubber. He had been immediately blindsided when he heard what Marin announced, not expecting that she would suddenly change her mind. He was aghast that she would go back on her word.

"I just said that I would consider whether to save your life or not. But when I think of your shameful behavior of deceiving me and all the others here, I am convinced that your guilt is unforgivable. Now, I want someone to drag him down and behead him." Marin couldn't help shouting coldly, standing tall and looking regal and imposing.

Hearing the order, two soldiers immediately stepped forward. Matthew put up no resistance. His entire body was pale and ashen, ready to meet death. He was dragged down by the two soldiers immediately, staring soullessly into the sky before his head was sliced clean off with their sharp swords.

"In addition, I also take back my previous punishment of expelling Rocky from the northeast military camp. However, although he did things with a justified reason, it is also true and proven that he has killed two spirit manipulators in my jurisdiction. Therefore, I have now decided to demote him to a servant and constrain him into doing chores in the military camp for six months as a punishment!" Marin announced her punishment for Rocky, knowing that she had to be fair.

"As for Evan and Deputy Commander Chen, I am really disappointed with them. They even tried to cover up Matthew for his crimes and framed Rocky. I will announce my punishment for them in public some other day soon. Now that they have both borne witness to the other's corruption, they will surely be punished. You can rest assured that I will not engage in favoritism towards these officials. I will severely punish them for their crimes. All of you! Remember this wisely! I hope the whole army can take these events as a warning and learn from them. Deceit will not be tolerated." Then Marin turned to Rocky and Sue and told them quietly, "You two come with me first."

Rocky and Sue looked at each other doubtfully and followed Marin.

Evan and Deputy Commander Chen were left standing silently, gazing at each other in speechless dismay. Knowing the final result of this whole thing, they also clearly understood that neither of them was a winner. Worse still, they would lose their careers, or maybe even worse, their lives!

It turned out that Rocky was still the one who laughed last.

Rocky and Sue followed Marin to her camp. As soon as they entered the camp, Marin suddenly turned around and said to Sue, "I'm deeply sorry for your grandfather's death. I must apologize personally, because it was all because of my lax discipline of the soldiers at ordinary times. I really didn't expect that any of my subordinates would dare to do such terrible things. I sincerely apologize. I am so sorry for what has happened to you and your family. Please, let me know if I can do anything to make things better."

"Commander, I dare not accept your apology. Since the man who killed my grandfather has received his due punishment, and Rocky's innocence has been proven, I am already very satisfied with this result." In just one night, Sue had gone through too much suffering at her tender age. Her grandfather had died and she was nearly raped. Rocky felt that after going through these terrible things, she had grown up a lot. Behind the trauma and hurt, he could tell that she had also become more sensible and mature.

"If you have any further requests, please feel free to ask me now. I will do my best to help you." Out of sympathy and the feeling of guilt, Marin couldn't help but make a promise to the little girl, hoping to help her go through this dire time in her life.

Upon hearing what Marin said, Sue's face radiated with delight, but then she became sullen and slightly shook her head to decline Marin's kind help. Actually, what she wanted most was for her grandfather to come back and live happily with her all the time, but unfortunately, that was an unattainable dream.
