CHAPTER 189 GOOD DEAL (PART ONE)

"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. holds text © rights.

"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.

"I see." Rocky was surprisingly clam hearing Marin. Since Sue was not opposed to it, he trusted her

judgment. Plus, the fact that it was Marin's sister who would look after her assured him that Sue was in

good custody. No one would dare pick on her. She was also a smart and lovable woman. Everyone

liked her. She would fit right in.

"Chill. I know my sister, and she is very nice. Sue would not get into trouble around her," Marin added

as she was afraid that Rocky was still worried about Sue. She assured him that Sue would be safe in

her sister's care. It was strange that all of sudden she cared a lot about Rocky's feeling. It was a feeling

so foreign and unusual that she did not know how to react. She shook it off right away. Why did she

care what Rocky thought?

"So I have to go to the headquarters if I want to visit her? That's quite troublesome." Rocky frowned.

He always saw Sue as his little sister. He would have preferred an easier access for him to visit. He

wanted to see how she was doing and how she was adjusting given all that had happened.

"Don't worry. It is not that troublesome. This is my authorization. It shall give you the access that you

need to enter the headquarters. When you arrive at the headquarters, you should go straight to Isis and

tell her that you are there to see Sue. She's the one running errands for my sister." Marin fetched a

plate and extended her hand to give it to Rocky.

Rocky took it and put it away. Then, he looked at Marin gratefully. "Thank you. If that's all, I will be on

my way." He then turned and was about to leave when Marin's voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Would you reconsider my proposal of leading the first squad?" Marin suddenly changed the subject as

if she still pitied Rocky for his decision to give up this post. However, despite the quite hassle chores at

the beast farm, he did not plan on changing his decision.

"You have many talents in the northeast military camp. You could easily find a replacement. It doesn't

have to be me." Rocky answered nonchalantly without turning back. He then continued walking and left

the beast farm. Marin stared curiously at Rocky's receding figure.

When he returned to his room, Rocky took out the primary Dark Heaven Egg and cultivated with it for

one night. The Dark Heaven Egg was truly extraordinary. Although the primary Dark Heaven Egg was

not as potent as the middle grade one, he could still felt the significant improvement of his spiritual

power.

Soon enough, the day broke and Rocky finished absorbing all of the energy from the Dark Heaven

Egg. He stopped his cultivation and left house to finish his chores at the beast farm for today.

When he was done with his chores, Rocky came back to his room to categorize the objects of value

taken from wild spirit-manipulated beasts. He carefully organized and placed them in a big basket,

which was bigger than the two bags combined that Rocky asked Jackson to sell.

However, the two bags of objects that he gave Jackson were taken from the wild spirit-manipulated

beasts at the second grade of three-stars. Just as the Centipede-snake venom and teeth, all other

objects were also valuable. It was quite a shame. Despite the great value of those items, he only got

more than one hundred golden coins from the sales. It was because Jackson did not know their true

value plus he sold them at a fair of a small town. Rocky thought it was a waste. After all, the objects

from the two three-star wild spirit-manipulated beasts were not easy to come by.
