Chapter 178 Secret Identity


    "Take them away!" Deputy Commander Chen barked, ordering his men to take away the vigers. He


    then turned to Rocky and sneered maliciously. "What do you have to say for yourself now?"


    "I should not have trusted you, Commander. I thought you were above this level." Rocky ignored him,


    looking right past him and stared straight at Marin. He shook his head with disappointment. It was


    difficult to swallow that Marin would be fooled into thinking of him as a murderer.


    Marin felt a tug at her heart upon hearing Rocky''s admonishments. The look in his eyes also made her


    feel a twinge of guilt, as if she was the one who had done something wrong.


    "Commander, we have solid proof now. Let''s have Rocky publicly executed to be made an example of!"


    Deputy Commander Chen turned to Marin and suggested.


    "I need to think about how to deal with Rocky first..." Marin murmured, but then Evan interrupted her.


    He stepped up and saluted, saying, "Commander, if you do not order the execution of Rocky this


    instant, what would the troops think? Thatmitting such crimes will be met with tolerance?"


    "Please, Commander. Have Rocky executed!" The spirit maniptors from the other squads all


    suggested to Marin.


    Very soon all troops, instigated by Evan, seconded this suggestion and shouted for his immediate


    execution.


    Marin grew solemn at this outcry. She had thought that this was going to be easy. Now it appeared that


    it would have a huge impact on troop''s morale. If she postponed her verdict, hermand woulde


    off as being unstable. However, for some inexplicable reason, she was not entirelyfortable at


    having Rocky executed. But the most important matter at the moment for her was to stabilize the


    morale of the troops. She had to face this hard decision. "Rockymitted the crime of murdering


    innocent vigers and fellow soldiers, as well as raping a young woman. He has vited multiple


    military codes in his conduct. Therefore I order his immediate public execution!" Her eyes grew sullen


    after this announcement.


    Augh broke out right after Marin finished her sentence.


    Everyone looked on and saw that it was Rocky who justughed.


    "I am not going to die here. I have something more important to do." Rocky looked around at the crowd


    and turned as if he was about to leave the military camp.


    Marin was both annoyed and shocked at Rocky''s disobedience and she ordered, "Stop him!"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Instantly spirit maniptors from other squads led by Evan blocked Rocky''s exit while soldiers got in


    formation and surrounded the entire camp.


    Rocky did not even flinch facing almost the entire army of the northeast military camp and his power


    just surged to the second grade of the Earthly Stage. He looked unruffled, and it was clear that he


    would not hesitate to kill whoever got in his way. Those soldiers and spirit maniptors were a little


    intimidated.


    "Look, Commander!" Deputy Commander Chen had never expected that Rocky would resist. He turned


    to Marin for further instruction.


    At this moment Marin said nothing as she did not know what to say. Rocky''s reaction waspletely


    out of her anticipation. She was at aplete loss.


    Deputy Commander Chen suddenly began oozing a murderous intent. He would not let Rocky live for


    fear of his conspiracy with Evan to be revealed. He jumped forward, summoning his power to surge to


    the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage. He was moving in for a sneak attack from behind Rocky.


    Rocky sensed a strong auraing from behind. He immediately turned and saw Deputy Commander


    Chen making a move. Rocky shot him a cold smile and sneered, "Hello, Deputy Commander. You want


    to tie up your loose ends?" Rocky said, summoning his Neb Cloud Transformation and went up


    against him.


    At this moment, Evan also took this opportunity and charged towards Rocky in a sh.


    "Boom!"


    Bright light broke out from the camp and continuous booming.


    Momentster, light faded away. Rocky emerged, resisting the power of both Evan and Deputy


    Commander Chen. Despite the single drop of blood that seeped from the corner of his mouth, he still


    looked calm and unbothered.


    Evan and Deputy Commander Chen exchanged a look and they immediately understood each other.


    Both of them wanted Rocky dead.


    Marin twitched as subconsciously she wanted to intervene and stop them from killing Rocky.


    At this very moment, a dark green dragon came swooping down from the sky. A beauty then jumped off


    it andnded in front of Rocky. She held up a golden te and shouted: "Order from the Commander in


    Chief, no one touches Rocky. Whoever disobeys this order will be subject to military disciplinary


    action."


    The second the beauty showed the golden te, everyone was astonished and immediately jumped


    down on one knee. Evan and Deputy Commander Chen had no choice but to stand down and follow


    suit, looking frustrated.


    Rocky looked at the beauty and the golden te and also felt confused, wondering howe the


    Commander in Chief could give an order to save his life. Perhaps someone told the Commander in


    Chief about what happened? He looked to Marin. He could not think of any who would report it other


    than her.


    Marin seemed relieved after seeing the beauty showed up. She then teleported in front of the beauty.


    "Commander, Commander in Chiefmanded me to ry this message. No matter what he does, no


    one is allowed to kill him. As for any other necessary means for discipline are at your discretion!" The


    beauty lowered her voice. "By the way, Deputy Commander in Chief asked me to tell you something."


    She leaned in and whispered something in Marin''s ear.


    Marin nodded her acknowledgment.


    "Good, then I will report back." The beauty disappeared.


    Everyone wearily got up after the beauty''s departure, looking utterly perplexed. They started to discuss


    among themselves as they could not understand why the Commander in Chief would personally give


    an order to spare Rocky''s life.


    "Commander, what is going on? Why would Commander in Chief...? Deputy Commander Chen looked


    at Marin, all confused and he saw that Marin was not surprised at all. He then realized that Marin must


    be the one who reported it back to the headquarters.


    Evan looked sullen, kicking at the dirt. He knew there was nothing that he could do now.


    Evan and Deputy Commander Chen had done many calctions, but they still missed the fact that


    Rocky had another secret identity. They had no clue that this would be his saving grace.


    "Rocky, you may keep your life, but you are still punishable for what you have done. I have decided to


    banish you from the northeast military camp." Marin then immediately order the exile of Rocky. He


    would leave with his life, but she had to do something about the crime that he hadmitted. To


    stabilize the morale of the troops, she had to be strict and fair.


    Rocky looked at Marin for thest time before he turned and left.


    At this moment, amotion broke out from the soldiers who were surrounding the camp. They then


    parted the formation to make a way for someone. A powerful beast emerged, looking at these soldiers


    ferociously. It was followed by a petite woman in an old cloak, walking briskly towards the


    center.
