Only after the mercenary shouted Rex's name did he notice his presence. When he took a look, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he had been shocked.
"You are Jimmy?" His companion stared at Ge Yan with his eyes wide open, as if he was extremely inconceivable to be here.
Just as Ge Yan was about to answer, he heard flustered footsteps as Regiment Commander Locke's figure appeared in front of them. His gaze lingered on for a second, then looked at Rex beside him, and also looked behind them without stopping. When he realized that there was no one around, he could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.
"Follow me." With that, the Regiment Commander Locke turned and left with a gloomy face.
Ge Yan glanced at Rex.
Rex silently followed the figure of the Regiment Commander Locke.
The group arrived at Regiment Commander Locke's room. Without his orders, Ma Wen had the others stand guard outside, and did not let anyone near, before closing the door. Naturally, the less information they had about Carlos and the other two, the better.
Regiment Commander Locke didn't say anything after he sat down, he only stared coldly at Rex and her, especially Ge Yan, who was under the greatest pressure. He was the last person to be with Carlos and the other two before they went missing, so he naturally became the prime suspect.
Ge Yan remembered Rex's warning, but before he could even think, he fell to his knees and started bawling: "Captain, Captain, I finally meet you, Carlos, Carlos and the others are dead."
It was just that he was not willing to believe it. Jimmy's words finally broke through his delusions, and as expected, they died, thinking that not only could he not capture the Holy Beast, but he had also caused trouble for the three young masters under his protection. Regiment Commander Locke knew that not only would his status not be saved, even his life would be in danger.
"Captain." Ma Wen looked at him worriedly.
Regiment Commander Locke suddenly stood up, he extended his hand and lifted Ge Yan up from the ground, his eyes red with fury: "How did they die?"
Ge Yan acted as if he was frightened, and then he blurted out all the details that Rex had handed over to him. Everything was settled later on, and he calmly put Sayin's death onto the dead man's body, this way, there was no proof for it, and the two remaining people were still in the same group. Regiment Commander Locke definitely would not think of it, because almost everyone in Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment knew that Jimmy and Carlos were in the same group, and they had always looked down on Rex.
"They're actually dead …" staggered a few steps back. His back smashed heavily into the door frame, causing him to groan in pain, as he held onto his chest with a weak look.
Ma Wen sighed, he knew that the Guild Leader would not be able to accept this fact for the moment, and turned to look at Ge Yan as he frowned: "You said that the reason why Young Master Carlos went to Tasha Forest is because you overheard someone saying that a Holy Beast appeared in the forest?"
Ge Yan nodded.
"Who dares to speak of this matter so boldly? Do you see clearly who leaked the news?" Ma Wen's eyes darkened as he shouted in anger.
He even told Carlos and Sayin to look for me at the end. At that time, I advised them to tell the captain about it, but Carlos said that the captain already knew about it, and he did not tell us that he definitely did not want us to know about it, and in the end, he even threatened me not to speak about it. How could I have known that his luck was so bad, if Rex had not saved me, I would not have been able to come back. "
I actually hope that you won't come back, even if it means that any one of the three young masters of the Carlos family will be more valuable than you.
Ma Wen thought, then asked him about the process in detail. Even Rex was asked about it, and the two of them answered it extremely closely, but Ma Wen did not notice any loopholes, so he only allowed Ge Yan to go out and rest after catching a glimpse of the deep look of exhaustion on his face. He called for one of his subordinates outside the door.
"Arrange a room for the two of them to rest."
His subordinate was stunned for a moment. "Two people in a room?"
"We don't have any extra rooms at the inn. Let them stay in one room for the time being. We'll talk about it when there's an empty room." Ma Wen's expression did not change as he finished speaking to Ge Yan. "You two should be able to sleep in the same room, right?"
Ge Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright."
The subordinate knew that there was still room, but he did not expose Ma Wen's lies and calmly brought the two of them to the room.
"Wait a minute, what's that thing behind you?" Ma Wen suddenly called out to Rex who had turned around, as if he had noticed that there was a round object tied to the cloth behind him.
Rex expressionlessly told him that it was a Magic Beast Egg, but he did not intend to open it.
The Magic Beast Egg s were also divided into different grades, Ma Wen obviously did not think that this was a high level or higher level Magic Beast Egg, seeing his extremely calm expression, he did not think much, and only thought that it was a low level or middle level Magic Beast Egg.
Once they left, Ma Wen immediately called for the people in charge of the Mercenary Regiment over, telling them to thoroughly investigate who revealed the news of the Holy Beast's cubs.
On the other side, a subordinate brought Rex and Ge Yan to his room, telling them to find him if they needed anything. Before walking out, he took the initiative to close the door for them.
Just as Ge Yan wanted to speak with Rex, he was stopped by a glance from him.
The subordinate standing outside the door stood in the corridor for a while. Seeing that it was extremely quiet, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say. Then, they left.
Sensing that he had left, Ge Yan moved to Rex's side and asked carefully: "What's wrong?"
"Ma Wen is a suspicious person." Rex only said this.
Ge Yan understood, and did not speak any further with Rex. As he was indeed a little tired, he fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.
Rex sat on the opposite side of the bed with an unfathomable expression.
That night, when everything was quiet, a noise suddenly came from inside the inn, the shouts of the people as well as the running sounds on the wooden floor, a cluster of torches lit up the inn as though it was day, causing Ge Yan to be woken up by the noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a black figure standing on his bed, which scared him, and he thought that he had met a ghost, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was Rex.
"What's going on outside?" Ge Yan lifted his blanket and sat up, he was no longer sleepy at all.
"I don't know." Rex answered straightforwardly.
Fortunately, Ge Yan did not have any hope of getting the answer from him. Putting on his boots, he asked, "Should we go out and take a look?"
Rex nodded.
The spacious backyard had become crowded because of these people, and there seemed to be two people kneeling in the middle. Standing in front of them, with his back facing them, Regiment Commander Locke could not see his expression, but his cold and gloomy aura revealed that he was in a bad mood. The two of them continuously begged Regiment Commander Locke for mercy, and said something like 'they don't dare to do it anymore'.
Just as Ge Yan wanted to ask Rex, Ma Wen who was in front suddenly turned his head, as if he knew they were standing here, and looked over without hesitation.
"Why did you guys come out?" Ma Wen intentionally walked over.
"I heard a sound. Did something happen?" Ge Yan didn't really understand how Jimmy usually got along with the people from Mercenary Regiment, so he could only try to reduce the feeling of his own existence as much as possible to make himself less prominent.
"You don't know them?" Ma Wen suddenly asked.
Ge Yan let out an 'ah' sound, as if he didn't understand what he meant, and said with a blank expression: "Aren't they members of Black Wolf?"
Ma Wen saw that he was not pretending and said indifferently: "It won't be from now on, they are the people who leaked the news about the Holy Beast. If the Guild Leader wants to punish them, do he want to stay and take a look?"
Ge Yan subconsciously wanted to look at Rex, but thankfully he held back. He looked a little dispirited as he said: "Forget it."
"That's good. We're leaving tomorrow morning. Have a good rest now."
Ge Yan nodded, without looking at Rex, he turned and left.
Rex nodded at Ma Wen and followed along.
Ma Wen watched the two of them walking away with their backs facing each other. Until now, their actions were very normal, as if there was no reason for them to suspect them.
Back in his room, Ge Yan immediately held onto his chest, "I was so scared, I thought he found something."
"You just did a good job." Rex praised him.
Ge Yan was pleased, "I never thought that a casual excuse you said would actually leak out. Luckily they were found out, otherwise Regiment Commander Locke would definitely suspect that we were lying."
"Not at all."
"Then how did you know?"
Rex did not explain. Instead, he walked to the side of the bed and laid down with his eyes closed.
Ge Yan watched for two seconds, then suddenly realised that this guy had slept on his bed. Although Rex 'saved' Jimmy's life, they were originally not compatible, so they could not get close together immediately, Ma Wen had purposely arranged for them to stay together in order to test them out, but Rex could not act too close to him, but Jimmy could. Thinking of this, Ge Yan felt that there was no burden on him anymore, he took off his boots, and stepped on the bed, suddenly he was kicked down, his knee heavily hitting the edge of the bed, causing his face to be pushed away from the pain.
"Why did you kick me?" Ge Yan lowered his voice and asked angrily.
"I have to ask you." Rex sat up, and stared at him with narrowed eyes, like a ferocious beast shrouded in darkness.
Ge Yan was no longer afraid of him, and said confidently: "Of course to sleep."
"You sleep on the floor."
"I don't."
Rex looked at him with surprise, and his courage grew.
Ge Yan raised his head and raised his chest.
