Chapter 157 A Stronger Backing (2/2)
”Oh goodness. Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't call me that when we're alone! We are cousins for crying out loud. Don't be so stiff and formal! It's unusual and awkward,” the lovely woman grumbled.
Few people knew that the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group was the cousin of Marin, who was also the second in command of the Crimson Dragon Group.
”Alright, Isis.” Marin winked with her beautiful eyes, a playful look on her face.
”Come in. Let me see you.” Isis stood up from the white jade bed and pulled open the gauze curtains.
Her eyes were graceful and moving. Her gestures, expressions, and demeanor were so eye-catching and elegant. Distinctive and beautiful, her delicate oval face, like a masterpiece of supreme craftsmanship, made her look like a fairy descending to the earth and an elf dancing among flowers. All in all, she was such a dazzling beauty that made even the most delicate and charming flowers pale in comparison. Any man would be touched by her beau
did that?” Hearing Isis' words, Marin couldn't help but frown.
”Their names are not important. What's really matters is that once father sees the joint letter, they will be all doomed. But they're lucky. It just so happens that he's not in the Imperial City now. They never know that father shows more affection to you than to me.” Isis responded with her smiling eyes.
”Isis, you must be kidding.” Marin muttered with a little embarassment. But what Isis said was actually true. Lance, Marin's uncle, has treated her with great kindness since she had been a little girl. One of the most important reasons for his demeanor to her was that her father once saved his life. Without Marin's father, Lance wouldn't have achieved his status today. Therefore, when Marin's mother passed away, it was Lance that put forward to take her to their family.
”I'm just stating the truth. Let's get in back to the point, I keep the joint letter in secret in case that father will be enraged. What's more, I made a survey of it. I found that the cause of the joint letter is that you awarded a First-Class Merit Citation to a team leader who was just in the second to third level of the Mortal Stage. If I remember correctly, his name is Rocky. Marin, you must explain the whole story to me,” Isis said. She found it rather strange that how such a powerless team leader was able to make an exception to get the First-Class Merit Citation. This developement was quite unique and rare. Isis knew her cousin well. Because Marin was definitely immune to bribery, Isis became more curious about why she had chosen to do such a thing.
Isis was growing more and more desperate to know the real reason. She believed that Marin must have her sufficient reasons to do so, but she still couldn't figure it out. After all, the First-Class Merit Citation was an important issue. Even in the supreme headquarters of the Crimson Dragon Group, many spirit manipulators beyond Earthly Stage hadn't been honored with this title at all! Isis couldn't understand why and how a low-end team leader of a small military camp could suddenly and quickly get in Marin's good graces.
