Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 189

"It is you, Commander!" Rocky let go off the spirit-manipulated beast and stood up to greet Marin. "I never thought that you would actually show up in here. Did you mention any innocent woman? Em... Actually, no woman here. But now we have one."

Marin noticed the whole place was deserted. Aside from Rocky and a spirit-manipulated beast, no one else was present, so she understood immediately that he was talking about her. She felt a little awkward. She was sure that the way she moved and talked would show how self-conscious she had become. Luckily, it was getting dark and there was no light in the beast farm. She could barely even see Rocky's features with the low illumination of the place. Only his silhouette and a few details of his face were visible from Marin's point of view, so she tried to talk pass this awkwardness. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"What am I doing here? I asked you to transfer me to the beast farm. I never asked to be a feeder! Now I am carrying and washing meat for the beasts. I am here working because of you!" Rocky exclaimed furiously. He was a little angry seeing Marin. He stared at her coldly.

"Why are you getting upset? I thought you were interested in raising war beasts. Otherwise, why would you volunteer to work at the beast farm? That's why I granted you your wish and let you be a feeder here instead of a handyman. Yet, instead of thanking me, you yelled at me. You know you can learn a lot from Sheridan right? He had been in the military camp for most of his life. Quite an ace at..." Marin suddenly stopped in her track. An important information almost slipped past her lips. She needed to be careful with her words. While she didn't give out much detail, Rocky caught on with her.

"Ace at what?" Rocky sensed that Marin was trying to hide something. He squinted his eyes and pursued with question. He knew there was something about Sheridan's identity, but he wasn't just sure what. Sheridan was more than just an old man managing the beast farm. He remembered how powerful he seemed when Sheridan initiated a fight.

"It's nothing. Anyway, you looked for me yesterday to ask about Sue. Later I came looking for you and you were nowhere to be found." Marin shook her head. She quickly dismissed Rocky's question and diverted his attention to other matters.

"I am going to head out tomorrow. Figured that I'd drop Sue a visit." Rocky nodded.

"Sue is now at the headquarters of the Crimson Dragon Group," Marin replied.

"The headquarters?" Rocky was a little surprised that Marin somehow managed to relocate her to the headquarters. He expected she'd be staying somewhere else.

"Yeah, I haven't told you about it. The other day I was planning to find her a nice home to stay after my business at the headquarters. I already had a few places in mind then. However, it turned out that my sister really liked Sue when they met at the headquarters. She's really likeable, you know. So my sister decided that she would take the liberty of taking her in to accompany her. She is a strong willed woman and Sue was not opposed to it. So I agreed. I left her at the headquarters with my sister. She will take good care of her so you don't have to worry. I trust her." Marin looked at Rocky expectantly as if she was afraid that Rocky might get upset because she did not inform Rocky earlier about this.
