The Medallion novel Chapter 180

"Commander, I am sure that this bitch must have been coerced by Rocky! Otherwise, she would have never chosen to testify against me. She is committing perjury now, and you must not listen to her slanderous words," Matthew said, gnashing his teeth in great anger. He couldn't help but cast a resentful look at Sue. His fingers fiddled with each other, a sign that he was extremely anxious at this moment. He was terrified that Marin would find out the truth.

"Fine. Then how do you explain this token?" At the moment, Marin took the token from Sue's hand and threw it in front of Matthew.

"Well, about that... I, uh... I must have accidentally dropped it when I tried to stop Rocky's evil deeds! As we all know, Rocky is a ruthless killer with great strength. Therefore, if I want to do my best to resist his attack, I definitely have no spare time to care about whether my token has fallen onto the ground or not!" Matthew said, a look of surprise and recognition flashing across his face.

"You mean that you have dropped the token due to your carelessness? That is really a 'perfect excuse', wouldn't you say? Do you think I'm stupid, Matthew? Don't you think your excuse is so ridiculous and untenable? Since the whole thing has already come to light, I am really surprised that you still dare to lie through your teeth to me!" Marin shouted, staring down at him in rage. Matthew trembled with fear. "And as for the two of you..." Marin also glared at Evan and Deputy Commander Chen behind him. It immediately occurred to her that it was these three people who had conspired together to frame Rocky and let herself be deceived. It was such a shame that even she, the Commander of the military camp, was almost cheated by these vile people.

"Deputy Commander Chen, it never occurred to me that you would be so willing to cover Matthew's crimes and frame Rocky. It is no wonder that I saw you and Matthew whispering in private before. Matthew must have given you some benefits so that you would act in his favor! How despicable you are! You are really a disgrace to the army!" Evan said accusingly, immediately pointing at Deputy Commander Chen. At this point, he realized that his own corruptions would be exposed if he didn't try to cover his tracks. In order to preserve his own fame and even life, he tried to hide and divert his participation in the evil scheme. At this critical moment, he knew clearly that the most important thing was to protect himself. Everyone else could go to hell.

Evan's words immediately caused an uproar among all soldiers present on the scene. No one had expected the real situation to be like this.

"Captain Evan, how can you..." At the moment, Deputy Commander Chen was still lost in his own thought, feeling extremely anxious about the fact that their evil deeds had been discovered by Marin. However, he did not expect that Evan, who had been the very reason for his involvement, would dare frame him up at this time. He was afraid that if he was convicted of this crime, it would be rather difficult for him to earn back dignity and respect from others in the military. What was worse, he could lose his life.

"Commander, I really didn't expect this matter to develop into this. It appears I was too trusting of them and that's why I let myself believe their slander! When they told me about this matter, I didn't think much about it either. That's why they deceived me so easily! I have made a serious mistake in this matter and I am not afraid to take due responsibilities. Moreover, since Matthew is my subordinate, I still hold the responsibility for his lax discipline. I cannot shirk my responsibility this time and I am willing to accept your punishment," Evan said slyly, trying to shrewdly defend himself and clear himself of any possible blame. He was holding out hope that he could defer all the blame to Deputy Commander Chen.

"Evan, I really didn't expect you to be such a coward! Commander, it was actually Evan who..." Deputy Commander Chen was also determined to expose his hypocrisy. After all, he would originally have had nothing to do with this matter if not for Evan who had goaded him to get his hands dirty. If he had not been deceived by his coaxing, he would not have anything to do with this matter from the very beginning.
