Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 166 Disappear In Situ (Part Two)

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.

"This is the secret letter that I failed to deliver.” Rocky placed the secret letter on Marin's desk. His secret mission was to deliver the letter to the top officer at the outpost of the front line. Since the top officer did not survive the attack, Rocky was not able to complete his mission.

"Have you been to the outpost?” Marin asked immediately when she saw the letter. She looked at Rocky warily.

Rocky nodded at once. He did not need to lie about being there. He just needed to make sure they never found out he was there during the attack.

"When you arrived, were the people there already dead?”

"Yes," Rocky responded. His tone was devoid of any kind of emotion.

"Do you know who did that?" Marin asked further. Her eyes narrowed. It was like she was assessing Rocky's tone and body language.

"I have no idea.” Rocky shook his head, but in fact, he couldn't be more aware of the answer. After all, he was involved in the incident. But of course, she should not know that.

"Did you see anyone suspicious?" Marin asked again. She wasn't satisfied by the lack of information she was getting from Rocky. Surely he must have at least noticed something useful.

Still, Rocky shook his head. Unable to extract any useful information, she decided to let him go.

"All right. I've asked enough questions. You can leave now. You need to have a good rest after such a long day," Marin said as she gave Rocky a strange look.

Rocky instantly left the camp without looking back.

"Investigate the identity of the two spies right away. Also, find out the murderer who has attacked the outpost..." Marin ordered the two Deputy Commanders as her eyes grew colder and sharper. She was determined to find and punish those who dared to attack them.

The two Deputy Commanders accepted the order and left.

As soon as they were out of Marin's camp, a delicate figure abruptly appeared next to Marin.

"Stop investigating Rocky for the time being. You need to go back and report everything about Rocky honestly to the Deputy Commander in Chief. You also need to report the discovery of the spies’ corpses and the slaughtering incident at the outpost. I want to hear her opinion about these two things,” Marin said to the figure. The figure turned out to be one of Isis's personal guard. She came to the northeast military camp with Marin only to investigate Rocky. However, so many unexpected things happened when she had just started the investigation. Thus, she had no way but to put aside the investigation for a while. Urgent things were given more focus which meant she had lesser time to investigate Rocky.

After hearing Marin's instructions, the figure immediately disappeared in situ. It was like she was never there to begin with. Apparently, she was a mighty warrior with formidable martial skills.
