Only after shouting Rex's name did the mercenary notice Ge Yan's existence. When he took a look, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of air. It seemed to scare him, so he turned around and ran away.

"You're Jimmy?" His companion stared at Ge Yan with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe Ge Yan had appeared here.

Just as Ge Yan was about to answer, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps and ran over. Regiment Commander Locke's figure then appeared in front of them, his eyes only stayed on Regiment Commander Locke for a second, then looked at Rex beside them. He also looked behind them without stopping and found that there was no one.

"Follow me." With that, Regiment Commander Locke turned around and left with a dark expression.

Ge Yan glanced at Rex.

Rex followed Regiment Commander Locke's figure silently.

The group went to Regiment Commander Locke's room. Ma Wen told the others to stay outside and watch without letting anyone near, then closed the door. Naturally, the less they knew about Carlos and the other two, the better.

Regiment Commander Locke didn't say anything after he sat down, he just stared coldly at Rex and Ge Yan, especially Ge Yan. He was under the greatest pressure, he was the last person with them before the three of them went missing, so he naturally became the prime suspect.

Ge Yan remembered Rex's warning. Without even thinking, he kneeled on the ground and wailed: "Captain, Captain, I finally got to see you. Carlos, Carlos and the others are dead."

He had a bad premonition ever since he had found the swords of Carlos and Ariel, but he just didn't want to believe it. Sun Tie's words finally broke through his delusions, and as expected, they were dead, and thinking about how he not only failed to capture the Holy Beast, but also caused the three young masters to encounter trouble under his protection, Regiment Commander Locke knew that not only would he not be able to protect his own position right now, but his own life would also be in danger.

"Captain." Ma Wen looked at him worriedly.

Regiment Commander Locke stood up abruptly and stretched out his hand to pick up Ge Yan from the ground. His eyes were red with anger as he asked, "How did they die?"

It was a well-known secret that only two people were left alive, and Regiment Commander Locke definitely did not expect that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment would not know that Jimmy and Wu Tie were in cahoots, and that they had always looked down on Rex. Regiment Commander Locke did not expect this to be the secret of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, which was that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment was in cahoots with the three of them, and that they had always looked down on Rex.

"They're actually dead …" Regiment Commander Locke was so angry that he flung Ge Yan away. His hands were strong. Ge Yan staggered a few steps back. His back hit the door frame heavily. He groaned in pain and held onto his chest with a weak look.

He knew that the Guild Leader wouldn't be able to accept this fact. He turned his head to look at Ge Yan and said with a frown: "You said that Young Master Carlos went to Tasha Forest 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 also told Carlos and Sayin to find me in the end. At that time, I tried to persuade them to tell the captain about it, but Carlos said that the captain definitely didn't want us to know about it, and in the end, he even threatened me not to tell anyone about it. Who would have known that if Ariel didn't save me, then even I wouldn't be able to come back.

I actually hope that you won't come back, even if Carlos and the other two people come back, they are all worth more than you.

Even Rex was asked a few questions, and the two of them answered it very closely. Ma Wen didn't find any loopholes, and when he caught a glimpse of the deep tiredness on Ge Yan's face, he let him go out to rest, he stopped one of his men 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 said with a straight face and then said to Ge Yan, "The two of you will be living in the same room, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Ge Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Sure."

His men knew that there were still empty rooms, but he didn't expose Ma Wen's lies and brought the two of them to the room calmly.

"Wait a minute, what's that thing behind you?" Ma Wen suddenly called Rex, who turned around, and seemed to notice a round thing tied to the cloth bag behind him.

Rex expressionlessly told him that it was a Magic Beast egg, but he did not have the intention of opening it for him to see.

The Magic Beast eggs were divided into different grades, Ma Wen clearly did not think that it was a high level or higher level Magic Beast egg, seeing his calm expression he did not think much, he only thought that it was a low level or middle level Magic Beast egg.

Once they left, Ma Wen immediately had his people call over the people in charge of Mercenary Regiment. He told them to investigate who leaked the news of the Holy Beast cub.

On the other side, his subordinate brought Rex and Ge Yan to the room and told them to find him if they had anything. He even closed the door for them before he walked out.

Ge Yan wanted to talk to Rex, but he stopped him with a glance.

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 Rex had left, Ge Yan moved to Rex's side and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"Ma Wen is a suspicious person." Rex only said this.

Ge Yan understood and didn't talk to Rex again. As he was indeed tired, he fell asleep not long after he laid on the bed.

Rex sat on the opposite side of the bed with an unfathomable expression.

That night, when everything was quiet, a burst of noise suddenly came from the inn. People's shouts and the sound of running on the wooden floor, a bunch of torches lit up the inn as if it was daytime. Ge Yan was woken up by the sound and saw a black shadow standing on the bed.

"What's going on outside?" Ge Yan lifted the blanket and sat up. He had already lost all his sleepiness.

"I don't know." Rex answered straightforwardly.

Fortunately, Ge Yan didn't really expect the answer from his mouth. He put on his boots and asked, "Should we go out and take a look?"

Rex nodded.

Because of these people, the spacious backyard became crowded, and there seemed to be two people kneeling in the middle. Standing in front of them, Regiment Commander Locke had his back facing them so his expression couldn't be seen, but the cold and gloomy atmosphere he gave off indicated that he was in a bad mood. The two of them kept begging Regiment Commander Locke for mercy and said something like 'they don't dare anymore'.

Just as Ge Yan was about 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 a shred of hesitation.

"Why did you guys come out?" Ma Wen walked over deliberately.

"I heard a sound. Did something happen?" Ge Yan didn't know much about Jimmy's daily interaction with the Mercenary Regiment people, so he could only try his best to reduce the feeling of his own existence and make himself less prominent.

"You don't know them?" Ma Wen suddenly asked.

Ge Yan let out an "ah", as if he didn't understand what he meant. He said with a blank expression: "Aren't they members of Black Wolf?"

Ma Wen saw that he was not pretending, so he said lightly: "From now on, they are the ones that leaked the Holy Beast's information. Captain wants to punish them, do you want to stay and take a look?"

Ge Yan subconsciously wanted to look at Rex, but fortunately, he held back. He said with a slightly dispirited expression, "Forget it."

"That's good. We're leaving tomorrow morning. Have a good rest now."

Ge Yan nodded and left without looking at Rex.

Rex nodded towards Ma Wen and followed.

Ma Wen looked at the two of them walking away. Their actions so far were very normal, as if there was no reason for him to suspect them. However, he was cautious and this was a matter of great importance, so he couldn't be careless.

Returning to his room, Ge Yan immediately covered his chest, "That scared me to death. I thought he found something."

"You just did a good job." Rex praised him.

Ge Yan was proud for a moment, "I didn't expect your random excuse to be leaked. 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 didn't explain and just went over to the bed and laid down with his eyes closed.

Although Rex 'saved' Jimmy's life, they were already incompatible, so it was impossible for them to get close at once. Ma Wen had purposely arranged for them to live in the same room to test them, but Rex could not be too close to him, but Jimmy could. Thinking of this, Ge Yan immediately had no burden as he took off his boots and stepped on the bed with one foot.

"Why did you kick me?" Ge Yan lowered his voice and asked angrily.

"I have to ask you." Rex sat up, narrowed his eyes and stared at him, like a 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 a surprised expression and became more daring.

Ge Yan held his chest up high.
