"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.
"You two, shut up! Aren't you ashamed enough?" Marin screamed, her face red with rage. It was
infuriating to see how Deputy Commander Chen and Evan blamed each other in order to push off their
own accountability. She never expected that these two people would begin to blame each other in such
an undignified manner in front of everyone at the military camp. Their shameful behavior had really
disgraced the dignity of senior officers of the army.
At this point, all of the troops present couldn't help but grow more and more astonished at the drastic
developments. They were in shock at the truth that had emerged.
Seeing Marin become so angry at this point, Evan and Deputy Commander Chen were extremely
afraid of making the situation become more disadvantageous to them. Therefore, they shut up their
mouths and did not dare to say anything more, for fear of further upsetting Marin.
"I'll deal with the two of you later," Marin said menacingly, giving Evan and Deputy Commander Chen
an angry look, which made no effort of concealing her hostility towards them. Then she said directly to
Matthew, "Matthew, the evidence is conclusive now, and there are all kinds of witnesses and material
evidence. If you admit your crimes now, I can consider sparing your life."
Coming to accept that he could no longer cover up his serious crimes, Matthew realized that even the
God could not save him now. Worse still, at hearing Marin say that his life was at stake, he had no
choice left but to admit his crimes reluctantly with a glum look of defeat. "Yes, Commander. I did all
these things," he said quietly, looking down in shame.
At hearing Matthew readily admit his crimes, the soldiers who were already stunned at the current
situation became even more astonished. The whole area began to be in an uproar again. It turned out
that this result was indeed a stunning reversal, shocking everyone present.
No one had expected that Rocky was actually framed, and that the people who jointly framed him were
Evan and Deputy Commander Chen, two well-known people in the army.
"I already told you guys that our leader did nothing wrong. I was always firmly convinced that our leader
must have been wronged by someone," Thor and Joss immediately cried out with great excitement as
they saw the truth finally coming to light. As they celebrated, they couldn't help but shoot meaningful
glances at several spirit manipulators of the sixth squad. They meant to reiterate how unwise it had
been to distrust their leader before.
Meanwhile, the other spirit manipulators of the sixth squad all looked embarrassed and were
speechless, feeling incredibly awkward. After all, they too had clamored that Rocky was a maniac killer
before. It also made them feel terribly guilty that they had doubted their leader's innocence for one
second.
"Matthew not only killed innocent villagers, but also intended to insult the dignity of women from good
families. His shameful behavior has greatly ruined the image of our soldiers in front of the civilians.
Since he is really guilty of a terrible crime, I propose to execute him in public!" Marin announced her
decision loudly without even batting an eye, satisfied at his confession.
