"What happened here? Why are you hurting my people?" Rocky shouted, using his sternest voice.
The spirit warriors who had been fighting with the supporting troop quickly noticed that Rocky had an
imposing manner and that his aura was even stronger than their own. After exchanging some looks,
one of the spirit warriors in a blue robe stepped forward angrily and said, "How dare you ask us why
we're hurting people? The supporting troop is the one at fault. Some of your spirit warriors came to our
place and molested one of our female spirit warriors. They even went as far as to insult her! You've
gone too far!"
"What? Is this true?" Rocky asked, narrowing his eyes.
"And who are you?" the spirit warrior in blue asked, glaring back at Rocky.
"I'm Basil Long. I'm the team leader of the spirit warriors of the supporting troop," Rocky introduced
himself.
"So you are their captain. When we came here, we were seeking you out. I was told that the men who
molested the female warrior were ordered to do so by you. You wanted to find some beautiful girls to
accompany you at night. You're nothing but a filthy beast!" Now that he thought Rocky was the person
responsible, the spirit warrior in the blue robe became angrier.
The spirit warriors behind him also cast looks of disgust at Rocky and his men.
After some thought, Rocky was able to determine that some of his own people had framed him. And he
was pretty sure he knew who was behind this.
Of course, he wasn't worried that he would be punished. After all, he hadn't done what they were
accusing him of. But if he did not give these spirit warriors a satisfactory explanation, he feared that
they would make a scene.
"That is a big accusation you're making. Where is your evidence? You're saying that I asked some of
my men to flirt with the female warrior, so you should bring them to me and let me question them,"
Rocky replied calmly.
In a split second, the anger of spirit warrior in the blue robe and the other spirit warriors of the
spearhead unit decreased drastically. They had only heard the story from the female team member
who had been molested. They had not seen who had molested her.
"Can't you find them?" Rocky knew that these spirit warriors must have come to blame him without
investigating the matter first, so he continued, "Never mind then. If you can't find them, the girl who was
molested must know who they are. You can bring her to our camp and she can point out the ones who
are at fault."
"Well..." The spirit warrior in the blue robe hesitated. Then, he looked back at the other spirit warriors,
as if searching for their opinions on what to do.
"If you can't present me with the evidence, according to the military law, I will have to imprison you and
your rioters and then report it to the deputy commander," Rocky threatened.
The faces of the spirit warrior in the blue robe and the other spirit warriors dropped further. When they
had come here to provoke the team of the spirit warriors of the supporting troop, they hadn't wanted to
draw this much attention to themselves.
"All that we have told you is based on true events. We came here today to seek justice. There is no
intention of causing a scene. We just want the guys who molested our female team member to come
forward, apologize, and promise that they won't do it again," the spirit warrior in the blue robe said,
deciding to make a compromise.
"Okay. But you have to find the men who did it. My team has over one hundred people in it," Rocky
shot back, crossing his arms over his chest.
Now, the spirit warrior in the blue robe and the other spirit warriors felt completely backed into a corner.
They had no idea who the culprits were, so there was no way of picking them out of that many men.
"Okay. We're going to go back and confer with our female team member first. We'll come back once we
have more information," the spirit warrior in the blue robe said once he thought of a good enough
excuse. Then, he turned and left with the others.
"Captain Basil, are you just going to let them go? Look at how many of our team members they've
hurt!" Kye shouted in an accusing voice, stepping forward.
"Yes, I am. If you have a problem with that, you can go to their camp and fight them again. I can
guarantee that no one will stop you. But is it truly worth it? Besides, I don't think they were lying. And if
it is true, I promise I won't show mercy to the ones who are at fault. If you are smart, you will admit to it
right now. Otherwise, I can promise that anyone who is guilty will die a horrible death!" Rocky
threatened.
The spirit warriors who had just participated in the fight immediately fell silent. They hadn't molested
the female spirit warrior and they were worried that if they got involved, they would suffer
unnecessarily. In fact, most of them suspected that only the confidants of the former captain, Kye,
could do such a thing, but they could not afford to offend him with an accusation.
Now, even the expression on Kye's face changed. He had thought that Rocky wouldn't dare to
investigate the matter because he was worried about his official career and was timid and afraid of
things. Then, he would have had something to hold over Rocky. However, he had not expected Rocky
to be so honest and righteous.
"If no one is willing to admit it, I will investigate this in private. If you were wronged, I will go to the
spearhead unit and ask Deputy Commander Ma for an explanation. If they were telling the truth, I will
find the people who molested the female spirit warrior and severely, publicly punish them. And believe
me, I will show no mercy. If you don't have anything to tell me, you are dismissed," Rocky ordered.
The spirit warriors slowly walked away, leaving only Kye glaring at Rocky. It was obvious that he was
not willing to be defeated by Rocky so easily.
Suddenly, Rocky approached Kye, making Kye turn vigilant. He secretly accumulated spiritual power.
When Rocky reached Kye, he sneered and said, "Next time you want to embarrass me, don't use such
a dirty and stupid method!" Then, he turned and left.
Kye's expression twisted into a gloomy one. He hadn't expected that Rocky would look down on him.
Suddenly, blue veins became visible on his forehead and fury filled him.
"Brat, just wait and see what will come of this!" As he glared at Rocky's back, he ground his teeth
together.
As soon as Rocky exited the spirit warrior camp, he saw Eunice coming towards him with a sullen look
on her face.
"What are you doing here? I was on my way to see you," Rocky said, smiling.
"I heard that some of my spirit warriors came here and caused trouble, so I came to check it out. Are
you okay?" Eunice asked.
"Don't worry. I took care of them already." Rocky smiled.
"What happened?" Eunice asked, pulling Rocky aside slightly.
"One of my men wanted to embarrass me!" Rocky exclaimed.
"Who is blind enough to provoke you?" Eunice asked, clenching her fists like she was planning on
beating the guy up.
"Let's not talk about him. Have you received any news over the past two days?" Rocky asked.
"No. But tomorrow, I am leading the team of spirit warriors to patrol the front line of the Tiger Whisker
Pass with Deputy Commander Ma. Once I'm there, I can ask for you," Eunice said, shaking her head.
"Okay. Well, thank you in advance." Rocky nodded.
Since nothing serious had happened, Eunice turned around and left with a look of relief on her
face.
