The Medallion

Chapter 181 I Will Go To Raise Beasts (Part Two)

"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.

Marin couldn't help but frown slightly. She seemed to have guessed the little girl's thinking, but she couldn't come up with any solution to her problem. Then, she looked at Rocky and said, "I was blinded by them this time, so I almost misjudged you. Although it's the right behavior to save lives, you should not kill people at will. Otherwise, the matter would not have reached such an irreconcilable point. Fortunately, however, the Commander in Chief sent a timely order to save your life, otherwise, everything would have gone terribly wrong."

In fact, Marin was also glad that she had reported the incident of Rocky to the Commander in Chief, so that she could have the opportunity to prevent this unjust case from happening in front of her.

"Of course I know that you have your own stand, so I won't blame you for this," Rocky said. Although not long ago, he was unjustly wronged by others, he now appeared to be very calm, his demeanor as cool as usual.

"If you have any objection to my punishment this time, you can bring it up with me. I can think about it and help you make appropriate changes," Marin hesitated for a moment and then said. She couldn't help but appreciate Rocky's demeanor, taking everything in stride.

"I have no objection to your punishment. However, in my personal opinion, it would be better for you to expel me from the military camp, so that I will not cause any more trouble and bother you," Rocky smiled slightly and said. His tone had a touch of sarcasm and, with a hint of resentment lingering. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, it is absolutely impossible. You must stay in the northeast military camp. If you don't like to do chores, I can transfer you to other places. I won't care what you do in the future. But the only condition is that you stay in the northeast military camp," she suddenly said in a somewhat hurried tone. Rocky raised his eyebrow. She seemed very reluctant to let him leave.

He wondered why her tone had suddenly become so firm, and he found it very strange that she should want him to stay in the military camp. After all, he seemed to have some disagreements with Marin on

many things. However, she seemed to care about him and his wellbeing. Right now, Rocky couldn't understand her intentions and the deep reasons behind her strange attitude towards him. However, Rocky only considered Marin's words for a few seconds and did not think too much. Since Marin insisted that he stay under her jurisdiction, he decided to stay in his favorite place. Calmly, he told her, "Then you can simply transfer me to the beast farm."

"The beast farm?" Upon hearing Rocky's reply, Marin was extremely perplexed. She didn't expect him to want to go to that place. Nobody really wanted to go there, after all! The environment there was dirty and smelly, and people who went there had to wait on the spirit-manipulated beasts all day long, which was really a very troublesome thing. Although his request was definitely strange, it was within the scope of her permission.

"Is there any problem with that?" Rocky squinted at Marin. Seeing her expressions change for several times, he wondered what was going on in her head.

"No. I approve." Marin nodded, still looking thoughtful.

"In addition, I have one more thing to please you," Rocky glanced at Sue beside him and said with a soft look.

"Is there anything else I can help you?" Marin asked curiously.

Suddenly, he came near her. At seeing Rocky approach her unexpectedly, Marin felt his aura envelope her instantly. All of a sudden, she became short of breath and her cheeks turned beet red. What on earth!
