Luna’s shouting was giving him a headache. He needed to get as far away from this trouble as possible, and the faster, the better.
What kind of big shot had this couple managed to offend?
The other party had already revealed their identity. Yet, Luna continued to push forward, oblivious to the Manger she was in, still causing a scene,
A complete lack of respect, understanding when to back off, and that kind of arrogance? It was a recipe for disaster.
Samuel shook his head as he heard Luna still screaming and ranting in the hotel lobby.
That woman from the Shaws was too prideful, too reckless. No matter how she became a professor, her lack of humility would be her downfall.
She still had no trace of scholarly discipline, did she?
All of this was a result of being spoiled by the Shaws!
She thought she was the queen of the world and that everything had to revolve around her wishes.
She didn’t realize the world was entire of influential people–no one would let her be so willful and entitled.
Even if the Shaws were wealthy, they were still just a second–tier family in Brookhaven.
Even if they were one of the wealthiest families in the country, so what?
Within the three realms, there’s always a power limit. ”
Seeing Samuel and Jasmine hurry out of the hotel like they were escaping a plague, Luna gritted her teeth in fury. “You bunch of shallow people, once my family handles this matter, I’m going to expose everything about you!
“If I don’t ruin your lives and make you lose everything, then I’m not one of the Shaws!”
Samuel felt a chill in his heart.“This crazy woman’s lost it! D’mn, she was in her woman’s fifties–shte really thought she was still as young and influential as the Shaws‘ young lady?”
“Keep going with your tantrum, but don’t forget, refusing to bow to authority will get you killed!”
Luna’s shouting continued, but no one paid her any attention.
It wasn’t until she noticed the almost empty hotel lobby that something was wrong
Aside from Robin and his group, the only other people left were Caesar, Desmond, Scott, and over a hundred bodyguards.
She hurried over to Scott, who looked dazed and lost in thought. “Scott! Scott, why aren’t you making a
move?”

Caesar. Desmond, and even Samuel’s behavior had made it crystal clear that the man in Room 403 was someone he absolutely could not touch.
Samuel, with his authority, had shown nothing but deference to the young man.
And what was he, Scott?
No matter his money or influence, he was just a small–time thug in the criminal underworld.
Despite having so many friends, Scott knew that if the military came after them under the pretense of ant anti–terrorism or anti–crime operation, it would be perfectly justified, legal, and above board.
Once they were labeled as terrorists or criminals, there would be no escaping their fate. Scott would be utterly finished.
Seeing Scott was still in a daze, Luna grabbed his arm and shook him urgently. “Scott, what are you hesitating about?
“If they don’t back us up, we’ll take care of this ourselves!
“What’s the big deal? Aren’t those just a bunch of young punks from Harmonfield’s crew? With so many of us, are you still scared of them?”
Scott pulled Luna’s hand off his arm. “Luna, you’re out of your mind! Can’t you see the situation here?
“Samuel, someone with his position, is still deferring to Robin. That means he really is someone high- ranking in the military!!
“Do you think the Ferons can go up against the national machinery?

I’m realistic. No matter how much money I have, I’m just a low–level thug in this underworld.
“I go up against them, and if things escalate, we’ll all end up dead!
“Luna, we need to back off. Some people aren’t ones we can afford to provoke
Luna was stunned.
She never expected that the leader of the black market in the provincial capital, Marco, known for his ruthless ways, would be the one to say something like this, admitting defeat
“Scott, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to bow down to that lowlife? The Shaws can’t lose face like that!”
Scott sighed deeply. “Luna, if we don’t lose face, we might lose our lives.”
Before Scott could finish, Luna scoffed. “The Shaws can shake Brookhaven with a stomp, and he’s just a dog for the Harmonfield and the Dunns. What can he do to me?!
“Scott, are you going to do something or not?”
Scott looked around the eerily quiet hotel lobby, his heart tightening. “Luna, I don’t want to die.”
“Fine! If none of you want to stand up for me, I’ll handle this myself!”

Luna’s mind suddenly flashed back to her first love, Chuck.
He was the chief director of the Legal Department at Brookhaven TV Statio
They hadn’t been in contact for more than ten years after college but reconnected at a reunion last year.

was like dry tinder catching fire when they met again–their old passions ignited immediately.
Over the past year, they’d met nearly every week, and he had treated her like a queen, fulfilling her every
need.
Ninking about how devoted Chuck had been to her, her heart began to race,
Chuck had once pounded his chest and promised that if Luna ever faced any injustice, he would use his position as the unchallenged king in his field to settle it for her!:
Luna let out a cold, mocking laugh. I don’t believe I can’t use the power of media and public opinion to take care of you a
all!
With that thought, she immediately dialed Chuck’s number. “Chuck. I miss you so much.
“Where are you? I’m at Brookhaven Hotel, and they’ve been bullying me.
“You know so many experts in the media world. You have to help me.”
A man’s comforting voice came through on the other end of the line. “Darling, don’t cry. I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry, anyone who’s wronged you, I’ll unleash the full force of public opinion on them and tear them apart!”

Scott watched as Luma’s eyes sparkled with that flirtatious glint. He rolled his eyes in disgust.
So it’s that ex from the TI’station, Chuck, again?
What the hell!
These intellectual types really make me sick!
her not seeing each other for over a decade, they meet at a reunion and suddenly act like lovebirds?
Why didn’t they stick together when they were each other’s first love?
Now, years later, one drink and the passion’s back?
Iho buys this crap?
They’re just using nostalgia as an excuse to get some cheap thrills.
Scott sneered as he watched Luna keep digging herself deeper into the hole.
Fine. Go ahead and do your thing. You can mess around all you want, but I’m not dying!

He quickly ran up to Robin. “Ro… Mr. Ramsey, there’s been a misunderstanding. I didn’t know you were….
“Step back!” Ernest immediately shoved him aside.
Mark and the others coldly blocked him.
Scott realized that this whole anti–terror operation was explicitly targeting his hundred–odd men carrying
weapons.
Looking at Desmond and Caesar standing behind Robin, he regretted not hearing their warnings earlier. How did it all come to this? There was no way out now.
Just then, Luna stormed up to him. “Kid, I’ll tell you right now, even if you bring in the whole army. I’m not afraid of you!
“My old classmate Chuck, the director of the law and justice segment at the provincial TV station, knows tons of important people in the media.
“He’ll bring the reporters over soon.”
Robin chuckled coldly. “Oh, your classmate is so impressive?
“A media guy with questionable morals wants to fight for justice?
“How is it even possible for someone like that to be the director of a legal show?
“I bet he won’t dare to stick his neck out for you..

“No matter who you are, even if you’re the king, my classmate said he’ll mobilize all the media power to get back at you for me!”
“Heh, you want to bully me. Luna? You should take a good look at who you’re dealing with!”
Lying on the ground, Lincoln finally figured things out and was immediately enraged. “Luna, you shameless woman, you’re still hooking up with that Chuck!
“I warned you already, don’t keep in touch with him, yet here you are messing around with him!”
Luna snapped. “Lincoln, shut your filthy mouth! You’re the one out there doing all sorts of shady things, and you dare to accuse me!
“I can play with whoever I want. It’s none of your business!”
“You’re a poor nobody. Without the Shaws, you’re nothing!”
Caesar interrupted quickly. “Don’t bring up the Shaws, I don’t have someone like you in my family!”
“You don’t represent the Shaws anymore!” Luna sneered.
Caesar angrily retorted, “The old man’s gone, I’m the head of the family now! There’s no place for someone like you in the Shaws!”
Luna’s face turned dark. “Fine, fine, wait until my dear classmate gets here!
“Lincoln, I’ll make sure he exposes your disgusting self to the world!
“After this, I’m divorcing you immediately!”
Mark and the others almost vomited at the sight.
This woman was in her forties, and all she could do was talk about her ex like a lovesick teenager? Itwas disgusting!
Sarah was woken up by the noise from the room.
She looked at the scene in front of her, feeling dizzy.
Wasn’t that the madwoman, Luna, Lincoln’s wife?
She was the once famous fashion icon in Brookhaven City, the young lady of the Shaws

How did her face get so swollen? Had Robin beaten her, too?
Just wait!” Luna pointed at Robin.
Today, when my ex comes, you’ll beg for mercy!”
As she spoke, Luna suddenly noticed Sarah, who had just woken up. “You slut, if it weren’t for you, how would all this garbage be happening?”
She grabbed Sarah’s hair and slapped her across the face repeatedly.
Stunned and dizzy from the blows, Sarah stammered, “Ms. Shaw, you don’t understand. This was all Vera’s idea.”
Shut up! Luna roared. “You and Lincoln are just as dirty as they come!
“You little bitch, just wait! Once I finish dealing with this, if I don’t destroy you, I’m not the young lady of the Shaws!”
Sarah tried to defend herself, “Ms. Shaw. Vera made me contact your husband. Lincoln was doing business and Vera seduced him!”
Vera let out a bitter laugh. “Sarah, you’re really shameless!”
At that moment, there was a commotion outside.
“Let me in, I’m the director of the law segment at the provincial TV station!”
A man in his forties, accompanied by several reporters carrying camera gear, rushed in.

Outside the hotel, the provincial police checked the credentials of the reporters accompanying Chuck before letting him through.
Chuck rushed into the hotel lobby, calling out urgently, Luna, Luna! Where are you?”
Upon hearing his affectionate shout, Luna’s heavily made–up face instantly brightened, a youthful smile spreading across it. Like a bird, she fluttered, “Darling, darling. I’m here!”
In her hurry, one of her high heels twisted awkwardly.
“D“mn shoe!” She muttered, kicking off the heel and rushing barefoot toward Chuck.
She hesitated momentarily, then flung herself into his arms, crying loudly, “Darling. I’ve been waiting for you!
Those thugs are bullying me! You have to help me get my revenge today! Use the media to crush them!”
Chuck held her gently, stroking her trembling shoulders with a tender expression. “It’s alright, Luna. I’m here now. No one will dare to bully you with me around.
“Whoever harmed you, I’ll make them public enemies for life.
They will never have peace in their lives!”
Luna nodded happily in his arms. “Mm, Chuck, you’re the best to me! I want to be with you forever.”
Chuck pointed to the photographers and an anchor standing nearby. “You all, hurry up! Get everything on tape! Add live reporting!

We’re going to make society condemn them together!

Before Chuck could respond, one of his assistants ran up to him. “Mr. Jean, the station manager, 1 “The station manager? Why is he calling me?” Chuck glanced at his assistant, confused.
The assistant director at the TV station whispered, “Mr. Jean, we’ve just received a notice from the Provincial Judicial Department. All the provincial departments–Justice, Police, Industry, Taxation, and Education are conducting a joint operation overnight.
The target of this operation is the Ferons in the provincial capital.
“Several departments have already gathered evidence of their criminal activities, and they’re preparing to shtit down all Ferons‘ operations inside and outside the province!”
Chuck was stunned. “What’s going on with the Ferons?”

The assistant whispered. The Ferons are involved in bribery with local officials, manipulating the stock market, and illegally siphoning off private funds. Lincoln, the head of Feron Enterprises, has also been accused of exploiting, assaulting, and harming young women, including university students, actresses, and female entrepreneurs.
“And they helped his wife, Luna, falsify her credentials, forge her thesis, and use bribes to land a teaching position and become a professor.”
Chuck looked at Luna’s back, cold sweat pouring down his face. The scale of this crackdown was so massive it was clear the Ferons had angered someone compelling.
Bis assistant nudged him. “Mr. Jean, the person being targeted, the one you’re helping, is reportedly a general.
“They’re going to carry out a counterterrorism operation here tonight.
“I think we should avoid this, just in case.”
Chuck’s heart skipped a beat.
His eyes darted around as he processed the situation. He took a deep breath and nodded. “Foster, you’re right! You’re absolutely right!
“The station manager’s call came at the perfect time! This is no small matter. If I pick the wrong side, all my hard work over the last 20 years will go down the drain!”
Chuck exhaled deeply, his voice turning cold. “Alright, everyone, retreat immediately!”
The reporters, ready to interview Robin and the others, stopped and returned to Chuck.
“Mr. Jean, aren’t we interviewing anymore?”
Chuck nodded. “Return to the designated safety zone at the police station immediately”
“The station manager just informed me that an anti–terrorism military operation is about to begin. We have other tasks now.
“The topic is shifting. We’re going to expose the Ferons’s illegal activities instead!”
Luna froze when she heard this, slowly turning around.
“Chuck, what do you mean? Did I hear you right? You’re going to report on the Ferons?
“Weren’t you here to help me deal with Robin and Vera? What’s going on?”
Chuck’s expression turned serious. “Ms. Shaw, I’m sorry, but I have another important assignment. Eneed to leave now. I don’t have time to help you
Luna was stunned. “Chuck, what do you mean? Just a moment ago, you promised me you’d deal with the people who’ve bullied me! Now you’re telling me you can’t help?
“And now, you will report on the Ferons’s illegal activities? Whose side are you on?”
Chuck’s face darkened. “Luna, when did I say I’d help you deal with anyone?

“I’m not your personal bodyguard or enforcer. Our station isn’t going after anyone just because you say so.
There are departments that will handle your issue.”
Luna couldn’t comprehend it at all.
The man she’d known as her first love, Chuck, who had been so affectionate at their reunion last year. suddenly felt like a complete stranger to her.

She remembered the reunion last year.

When Chuck saw her after years of no contact, it was like a century’s longing had caught up with him, and the flame of desire burned intensely.
They were almost inseparable throughout the reunion, sticking to each other like glue. Eventually, they booked a room at a hotel and stayed together for three whole days and nights.
hey spent those days catching up on nearly two decades of separation, reminiscing about old times until the night grew deep.
While in bed, Chuck held her and told her that during all the years they had been apart, no one but her, Luna, had mattered to him–not even his current wife.
His sweet words moved Luna, numb for years, making her feel like a 16- or 17–year–old girl again.
She was grateful that fate had given them a second chance after all these years of separation.
They promised each other that they would keep things private and be together forever so as not to hurt their respective families and social images.
But now, standing before her was a completely different Chuck. His demeanor was terrifying, heartless
even.
Every week when they were together, during their passionate rendezvous, he had talked about leaving everything behind to run away with her, abandoning his wife, and rekindling the beautiful love they once shared in their youth.
So what was this now? If this was true, who in this world could she ever trust?
Luna, frustrated, said, “Chuck, are you joking with me?
The other night we were at the hotel, you swore that you’d be good to me forever and that we’d never separate.
“What do you mean? Are you turning your back on me for your ‘professional ethics‘ now?”
Chuck panicked. “Luna, stop spouting nonsense! I never said we stayed at a hotel together!
“I never promised to run away with you. Those were all just things you imagined!
“Look at you, how old are you now? And you’re still talking about love? Aren’t you embarrassed to say something like that?
“You, a married woman, talking like that–don’t you feel ashamed?”
Now, Luna finally understood. From the very beginning, Chuck had been playing her!
“Damm, how shameless! Chuck, you’re nothing but a hypocrite!
“What did you say at the reunion last year?
“You told me that losing me that year was like missing out on the greatest love of this lifetime.

At that moment, a photographer from the TV station forgot to turn off his live–streaming equipment.
All the words between Chuck and Luna were broadcast live.
Back at the station, Edon Leworthy, coordinating the reporters, saw the scene and immediately yelled, “Chuck! He’s ruined the reputation of our station!”
The phone in the director’s office rang nonstop.
The provincial government officials were furious, ordering the station to fire Chuck, and legal departments were preparing to hold him accountable!
Edon frantically tried calling Chuck’s assistant but couldn’t get through. He had no choice but to drive to Brookhaven Hotel to personally fire him.
Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Chuck sneered, “Luna, stop fooling yourself!
“Back then, I left you because I couldn’t stand a woman like you!
“You always acted like you were the young lady of the Shaws, bossing me around!
“I was so sick of you. That’s why I left!
“Now that I have power, being with you is just a game! And you’re too stupid to realize it!”
Luna’s face turned purple with anger. “Chuck, you bastard! Just wait. The Ferons and the Shaws won’t let you live peacefully!
“You think now that you’re the chief director at the provincial station, you can humiliate and torment me?
“The Ferons and the Shaws can crush you with a snap of their fingers! Chuck, don’t forget–this world always serves money. I can crush you with enough cash!
“You think you can treat me this way after I was sincere? You’re ugly inside and out!
“After tonight, I’ll use all the power of the Ferons and the Shaws to destroy you!”
Chuck sneered, “Luna, do you think you even have a future after this?
“Do you know who you’ve pissed off?”
He glanced at Robin, who was trembling in the corner. “You’ve offended a general!
“No matter how powerful the Ferons or the Shaws are, if they insult a general, they’re asking to lose their
heads!

Chapter 465 The Wolf’s Wrath
The roar of engines thundered through the sky.
Ten military helicopters swiftly descended on the rooftops of the Brookhaven Hotel.
From the helicopters, 60 elite War Wolf Special Forces team members rappelled down, quickly forming six teams on the ground.
Within one minute, the 60 special forces soldiers were arranged in perfect formation, running toward the
otel.
The street outside the Brookhaven Hotel echoed with combat boots marching in unison. Leading the charge were Silas and Freya from the War Wolf Special Forces.
“Report to Mr. Ramsey, all 60 elite soldiers of the War Wolf Special Forces team are assembled!” one of them reported.
“From receiving the order to assembling and reaching the destination, it took nine and a half minutes, Please give your command, Mr. Ramsey.”
Inside the hotel, everyone gasped in fear.
They had never seen such a commanding and awe–inspiring display.
Even the one hundred or so thugs under Scott’s command were stunned.
These were criminals who had committed murder and served time, yet the sight before them had left them weak in the knees.
It had never occurred to them that today, they would face such an intimidating force of special soldiers. Robin, who had gathered them here, clearly intended to have them clash with these highly trained soldiers.
At this moment, both Desmond and Caesar were utterly shocked. Robin was indeed the chief instructor of the War Wolf Special Forces!
Scott, lying on the floor, felt regret flood him. He had offended such an influential figure. He knew now that the Ferons were doomed. He would be lucky to survive this.
Sarala was perplexed.
She looked at Robin’s towering figure under the lights, unable to comprehend how he had suddenly become the chief instructor of the elite War Wolf Special Forces and at the rank of a general.
Seeing Robin stand before 60 fierce soldiers, exuding a commanding aura, her mind went blank. Could this really be happening?
At that moment, Scott crawled to Robin’s feet, begging, “Mr. Ramsey, I didn’t recognize your greatness. Please forgive me! I was wrong-
Robin ignored Scott’s pleas and barked, ‘All War Wolf Special Forces, listen up!
“Smash all the facilities on the five floors of this hotel in five minutes!” “Understood!” The roar of the special forces soldiers echoed throughout the hotel.

Scott froze. The facilities in this hotel cost him over a billion dollars to build. Robin actually ordered the destruction of everything in live minutes.
Desperately, Scott crawled up to Robin again, pleading, “Mr. Ramsey, please, don’t destroy my hotel.”
Suddenly, Ernest, holding an assault rifle, pressed the barrel against Scott’s head.
“Step back! We will enforce battlefield discipline if you dare threaten the commander again!” Ernest’s voice was cold, and Scott’s legs buckled in fear.
Even though Scott had killed before, the murderous aura exuding from Ernest and the other trained
ldiers was enough to send a chill down his spine.
Led by Silas and Freya, Ernest and others began executing the order. The once–luxurious Brookhaven Hotel was reduced to a wreck in less than five minutes. The sounds of destruction–shattering glass, breaking furniture, and splintering wood–shook everyone to their core.
The hundred or so thugs under Scott trembled as they watched the special forces destroy the hotel’s interior. They realized these soldiers were far more brutal than they had ever imagined.
After the destruction was complete, the soldiers gathered again in the lobby.
“Report, General, all teams have completed the task! Please give further instructions! one of the soldiers reported.”
Robin pointed at the thugs, each of whom was holding knives, clubs, or guns.
These are dangerous criminals who have wreaked havoc on society, he said. “I’ve received intelligence that each of them is responsible for multiple murders. This criminal group has committed acts of arson. extortion, trafficking women and children, and even dealing with weapons and drugs.
“Now, I order you to engage these two times more numerous criminals in hand–to–hand combat!
“This is a test for the special forces. You will be expelled from the War Wolf Special Forces if you are defeated!
“Start now. You have five minutes to resolve this!”
In an instant, the 60 members of the War Wolf Special Forces attacked like wolves among sheep. launching a fierce, storm–like assault on the criminals. The sounds of punches and kicks, accompanied by the thugs‘ screams, filled the hotel.

A brutal cacophony of beatings filled the grand hotel lobby, each blow landing with terrifying intensity.
Scott’s hundred or so gang members were no match for the War Wolf team, unable to put up even the faintest resistance. Normally, these thugs took pleasure in bullying and tormenting the public, but now they were being torn apart.
The sight of his men sprawled across the floor and the once–elegant Brookhaven Hotel reduced to a wreck left Scott trembling on his knees. Looking around, he burned with rage, wishing to hack Lincoln to pieces.
Of all the women in the world, Lincoln had to go and mess with the girlfriend of a powerful figure- practically a death wish.
Scott was on the verge of tears. Twenty years of blood, sweat, and dignity had built his empire, and it was all slipping aw
He couldn’t accept it.
His heart was pounding, and Scott looked over at Robin, who was standing under the hotel’s flickering lights with a face as cold as a stone. Robin was more than a man; he was a terrifying devil.
Scott always considered himself ruthless, but he was nothing compared to Robin.
He cursed Lincoln for provoking this harbinger of doom. If Robin’s fury wasn’t appeased soon, the Ferons were finished.
In over two decades, Scott had never felt so desperate.
Luna, meanwhile, was numb. It was unfathomable that something so routine had erupted into this nightmare.
Over the years, Lincoln had ruined countless young women–college students, actresses, even female employees. Some, with nowhere to turn, took their own lives, jumping from buildings or slashing their wrists. And each time, Luna had covered it up with ease.
Often, she didn’t even have to spend money. She could stir up a bit of public opinion or have Scott send thugs to intimidate any woman who dared to accuse the Ferons, leaving them devastated while she and Scott walked away untouched.
But today, every single contact she reached out to had vanished. Once they heard it involved the Brookhaven Hotel, they either turned off their phones or claimed to be out of the country.
A deputy director of the provificial police department, Samuel Harrington, arrived briefly–only to distance himself from Luna as soon as he saw Robin.
Even her old lover, Chuck Jean, whom she thought she could rely on, turned his back on her without a second thought.
All those supposedly unbreakable connections and loyalties crumbled in an instant, proving utterly worthless.
The young reporters from Brookhaven TV were stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
Beyond their fear, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
As Brookhaven reporters, they were well aware of Marco and the Ferons‘ reputation. Everyone in the provincial capital knew they were tyrants.

For over a decade, the Ferons had woven their connections with the upper crust, bullying businesses, assaulting women, running illegal loans, and even selling drugs in nightclubs–acting with absolute impunity.
Even the provincial police department hadn’t been able to touch the Ferons, but today, this young general. had brought them to justice.
It was a thrilling and powerful anti–terrorism and anti–gang operation.
Caught up in the shock and excitement, someone had forgotten to turn off a live–streaming device, broadcasting the entire scene at Brookhaven Hotel to the public.
At first, residents of the provincial capital thought it was a TV drama or some staged event by a news station. But soon, they realized it was real.
Cheers erupted across the city.
People who had suffered at the hands of the Ferons, who had seen their families ruined, spread the news in celebration.
The public flooded social media, applauding the provincial government’s efforts.
In no time, this news topped the trending charts on every major network platform.
The provincial capital’s long–standing menace had finally met its fate.
After just four and a half minutes, silence fell over the grand entrance hall of Brookhaven Hotel, now as cerie as a scene from hell.
“Report! Instructor Ramsey, all 60 War Wolf Special Forces soldiers have completed the mission! Every team member has passed this exercise! Reporting complete, awaiting instructions!”
Silas led the 60 War Wolf officers, lined up with military precision in front of Robin.
Outside the hotel entrance, two military jeeps raced up the driveway.
Jack, Xavier, and Wilson entered the grand hall of Brookhaven Hotel, flanked by four colonels and two lieutenant colonels for security.
Accompanying them were provincial police department director Taylor Bateson, Brookhaven TV director Edon Leworthy, and other provincial government leaders.
Jack, Xavier, and Wilson approached Robin and exchanged salutes.
Xavier stepped forward, shaking Robin’s hand. “General Ramsey, Lieutenant General Baxter of the Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters sends his highest commendation for this anti–terror emergency operation!
“The Sevenfold Crest rescue mission and today’s Brookhaven Hotel operation have strengthened the unity of the entire War Wolf Special Forces like never before.
“It has also removed a long–standing threat to the people of the provincial capital!
“This mission is being praised highly by the provincial government and the citizens alike!”

“We’ve long had plans to crack down on these criminal forces in our province.
“This time, you’ve been an incredible help to us.
On behalf of the provincial police department, I offer my sincerest respect to General Ramsey and all
War Wolf members.
With that, Taylor delivered a solemn salute to Robin and the 60 War Wolf officers, honoring their exceptional achievement.

Just as Taylor finished saluting, he received a call from the provincial police department. They informed him that many residents had gathered in front of the department building, holding banners thanking the police and military for their service and celebrating in full force.
Taylor immediately realized this was thanks to the live broadcast, which had shown the scene to the people of the provincial capital.
He walked over to Edon and grasped his hand. “Mr. Leworthy, your station did a fantastic job! We need more broadcasts like this in the future!”
Jamal Edgar, the director of the Cultural Affairs Office, also recognized what had happened. He patted Edon on the shoulder. “Edon, this was excellent work! We’ll highlight this broadcast as a model performance.
“Keep it up! The Cultural Affairs Office needs more leaders like you with this kind of talent!”
Edon nodded enthusiastically. “Thank you for the recognition! I’ll keep working hard!”
Only he knew that he hadn’t planned this broadcast.
After a previous live segment about Chuck, Jamal had sharply reprimanded him.
He’d hurried over tonight to stop the live feed–only to stumble upon this unexpected success.
Turning to the young reporters stationed at the live–feed equipment, Edon asked. “Who’s responsible for tonight’s broadcast?”
A photographer in his thirties suddenly realized his equipment was still running and quickly switched it off
“Sorry, sir. I was so overwhelmed by the scene here that I forgot to shut it down. It was my mistake.”
Edon chuckled, “You’re…”
The man, trying to ease the tension, introduced himself. “Mr. Leworthy, I’m Craig Lovatt, a photographer with the Legal Affairs Department. I’ve worked here for ten years without a single error. Please, don’t fire me over this.
“I have two kids at home, and my wife’s expecting a third. I can’t afford to lose my job; my kids‘ schooling is expensive, and their weekly tutoring alone costs about 4,000 dollars,
“I also have a mortgage, and both my wife’s parents and mine rely on us.
“If I get fired, we’ll lose all our income. Please, forgive this mistake. I’ll do whatever you ask!”
Tears were welling up in Craig’s eyes.
Edon’s expression was complicated, and as Craig saw it, he broke down and dropped to his knees.
Edon quickly pulled him up. “Come on, why would I fire you?
“Tonight, you did something truly remarkable!
“By broadcasting this inspiring anti–terrorism operation, you’ve earned a huge reward from the station!

“Tremember–you’re one of our most educated and skilled reporters. For ten years, we should’ve found you a new role, but there just wasn’t an opening
“Starting today, you’re the executive director of our Legal Affairs show.
“The position’s salary should comfortably cover your family’s expenses!”
What? Meas executive director?” Craig was stunned.
He had worked in this cameraman position for ten years since joining the station. The colleagues who’d joined with him had all moved up to department heads, but he’d never had a promotion opportunity.
Edon patted his shoulder. “It’s true. I’ll have the office issue your transfer letter right away. Starting this month, your salary and benefits will follow executive director standards.”
Then Edon pointed at Chuck, still slumped on the ground. “Chuck, you’re dismissed.
“The Cultural Affairs Office’s oversight team is reviewing your records. Tonight, you’ll report to them and give a full account of your misconduct,
Chuck quickly protested, “Mr. Leworthy, this is all a setup! That vile woman framed me–I’m innocent!
“Enough! You can explain yourself to them.
Chuck knew it was over for him. He pointed angrily at Luna and shouted, “You wretched woman! This is all your fault!”
“Shut up!” Two officers immediately dragged Chuck out.
Xavier gestured to the wrecked scene. “Mr. Bateson, it’s in your hands now.”
Taylor gave a military salute and said, “Thank you to the warriors of War Wolf. I’ll make sure these criminals are dealt with properly, and I’ll give the people of the provincial capital the justice they deserve.”
The police began escorting Lincoln, Luna, Sarah, and the others out.
As they passed Robin, Lincoln shouted, “Robin! The Ferons may be ruined, but I’ve built connections across the provincial capital and Brighton over 20 years!
“I might go in for a while, but I’ll be out soon enough!
“And when I am, I’ll get my revenge!
After dealing with Samuel and Chuck, Luna now shares the same hatred toward Lincoln. She cried. “Lincoln, I was wrong. We’re still family!”
“Once this is over, I’ll use all of my father’s old connections to make Robin regret this!”
A beavy silence fell over the lobby of the Brookhaven Hotel.
Robin slowly turned, took the towel Mark handed him, and wiped his hands. “Make me regret it? You two?” Luna froze, then burst into laughter. “You inexperienced kid! Do you even know how you managed to

Blood suddenly streamed from Lincoln and Luna’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
“What? What’s happening?” gasped those nearby.

After the horrifying events, a deathly silence settled over the Brookhaven Hotel
The four officers holding Luna and Lincoln were shocked beyond words.
The two suspects had been fine just moments ago. Now, blood was trickling from their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. They were dead in an instant.
Jack raised his thick eyebrows, glancing toward Robin, who stood beneath the dazzling lights of the lobby.
is calm, wind–like presence seemed to radiate a dangerous, untouchable aura.
Death’s Melody.
This was the second time Jack had witnessed this eerie technique in action. He was certain Lincoln and Luna’s sudden deaths were tied to that faint tremor beneath Robin’s feet.
Moments later, the police forensic team confirmed the deaths of Lincoln and Luna.
Two Brookhaven TV reporters rushed forward, eager to capture the breaking news,
Taylor, snapping out of his shock, immediately blocked their path. “Everyone, back up‘ The suspects died. of sudden cardiac arrest. Remove the bodies immediately!”
The reporters, undeterred, turned to Edon, hoping to cover this unusual incident.
Edon quickly pushed them aside. “Even professional boundaries have limits!”
Craig looked puzzled. “Mr. Leworthy, they died under strange circumstances. Isn’t it our job to investigate? This could be…”
Edon cut him off, glancing at Robin before pulling Craig and the reporters aside.
“Craig, you’re about to step into the role of executive director. It’s time to think carefully about what that

“Every outcome has its reasons.

“Understand the art of handling people and situations.
“This world isn’t just black and white; it’s not simply right and wrong.
“Only by letting go of rigid ideas of right and wrong can you see the truth in things.
Craig was baffled. “No right and wrong in this world? Mr. Leworthy, the more you say, the less I understand
Edon sighed as he looked at Craig’s earnest but confused face. Perhaps there was a reason why this highly educated man hadn’t been promoted for ten years.
“Let me ask you this–do Lincoln and his wife deserve what happened to them?”
Craig nodded. “Based on their actions, they deserved punishment. But that’s for the law to decide….

Edon chuckled. “And do you think a death like this has meaning?” He shook his head.
“Remember this, Craig only by letting go of notions of right and wrong can you see the bigger picture. Otherwise, you’ll never find true success in life.
“A person needs principles, but also flexibility. Don’t be too stubborn”
Craig frowned. Edon’s words echoing in his mind. He murmured to himself, wondering if he’d truly misunderstood something all along
Sarah was so terrified by what she’d just witnessed that she collapsed onto the floor, refusing to stand despite the two officers trying to help her up.
Crawling toward Vera, she sobbed, “Vera, we’re best friends. I didn’t mean to hurt you; I just made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Please, forgive me once.
“We’re close, we’re classmates–everything was Lincoln’s fault, that scumbag! He tricked me into helping him get to you, even taught me how to drug you. I know I was wrong now!
“Vera, I know you’re kind–hearted. Please forgive me–I promise I’ll be loyal to you from now on.”
Vera laughed coldly. “Sarah, do you think my kindness is here just for you to trample on?
“We’re best friends, close classmates–so is this really how you treat me?
“If I forgive you now, then I’m the fool! My kindness isn’t for people like you to take advantage of!
“But don’t worry–from today on, I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of.
“When you get out of prison, I’ll set aside part of my foundation to hire people specifically to ruin your life. I’ll make sure you’d rather be dead than alive.
“This is the price for betraying
- me.
“Sarah, I hope you live a long life–just so you can savor the gift I have in store for you!
“If a backstabber like you could get away with everything, then there’d be no justice in the world!”
Despairing, Sarah slumped to the floor as the officers dragged her out of the hotel lobby.
Robin glanced at Vera’s icy expression and raised an eyebrow. “Looks like you’ve grown up?”
Vera pursed her lips before breaking into a smile. “Robin, you’re so annoying. Can’t you let me keep up my act for a little longer? Hahaha…
“D*mn!” Robin chuckled, shaking his head at Vera’s bright, joyful smile. He was speechless. No matter the situation, she could always find a reason to be happy.
“General Ramsey, when would you have time? We’d like to invite you to dinner in the provincial capital,” Desmond and Caesar said as they approached nervously.
Robin raised an eyebrow at Desmond, “No need for dinner, but there’s something I need you to do.” Desmond stiffened. “Mr. Ramsey, just say the word. Whatever I can do, I’ll give it my all….

“Okay, no need to go overboard.” Robin paused.
“Starting today: you’ll be taking over all of the Ferons‘ business in the provincial capital and abroad,”
He looked over at Taylor. “Mr. Bateson, I’m arranging for Osborne Group to manage the Ferons business. What do you think?”
Taylor quickly replied, “General Ramsey, that arrangement is perfect! This way, our province’s economy won’t be too disrupted. Osborne Group is an outstanding local company, and having them take over the Ferons‘ operations is an excellent fit!”
Mr. Osborne, I’m counting on you to handle this. Be ready for the transfer tomorrow morning

Then, a thought struck him, and he turned to Vera standing by Robin’s side. “Ms. Silva, from today on every single product from Silva Group’s medical equipment line will be distributed through the Ferons former sales network. I’ll see to it personally.”
“Even if it means halting all Osborne operations, I’ll make sure your products reach not just Aurientia but the entire world!”

She looped her arm through Robin’s and whispered, “Robin, thank you.”
Caesar, still trembling after seeing Lincoln and Luna dead, stepped forward and stammered. “Mr. Ramsey I swear I’m no longer connected to Luna. We severed all ties as siblings–truly!”
“I understand.” Robin gave Caesar a cold glance before turning to Desmond. “Make sure Ms. Silva is safely escorted back to Harmonfield.”
Desmond quickly replied, “Mr. Ramsey, rest assured–the entire Osborne security team will be deployed to protect Ms. Silva!”
“Tonight, I’ll personally lead the team until Ms. Silva is safely in Harmonfield.”
“If there’s even a hint of dissatisfaction from Ms. Silva, I’ll take full responsibility!”
Robin gently removed Vera’s hand from his arm. “Get back to Harmonfield. And don’t handle these situations alone again. Even if you must, bring a trusted aide and some bodyguards. I’ll head out now,”
Verawanted to tell Robin she wished to go back with him. But she knew Robin wouldn’t stay in Harmonfield forever.
As she watched him walk out of the hotel lobby, surrounded by soldiers and high–ranking officials Grom the provincial government, her eyes shimmered with tears of happiness.
She was certain that this great man was the hero she’d always dreamed of
Robin, one day, you’ll come to me with honor and pride.
She pictured that moment–a bright, cloudless sky, with Robin clad in golden armor, laying out a red carpet as far as the eye could see just for her.

Outside the hotel’s entrance plaza, Robin prepared to board a helicopter with the War Wolf Special Forces, headed back to the Wallaby Mountain Training Center.
“Mr. Ramsey!” a voice called out from the crowd.
Robin glanced over to see Jonah waving at him.
“Oh, it’s you. What brings you to the provincial capital today? Robin stopped and gestured for the officers

Jonah, excited, explained, “Mr. Ramsey, I graduated from Provence University, and tomorrow anniversary celebration. The school reached out multiple times, insisting I attend
“Thanks to your guidance on the Southvale project, I’ve made a comeback over the past six months. The school now sees me as a successful entrepreneur, so they want me to give a few talks to the students. They’re also hoping I’ll donate.
“This kind of charity work feels meaningful, so I thought I’d come. Back when I was struggling. I was too embarrassed to even think about attending alumni events.
“This time, the school administration mentioned they’d like to start some new youth programs and set up a scholarship fund for promising students. They asked if I could contribute.
“Considering how much I’ve earned this year, I feel it’s only right to give back to my alma mater. After all. it’s a way of helping foster talent for the next generation in our country.”
Jonah glanced at Robin and the soldiers around him, puzzled. “Mr. Ramsey, what’s…”
“Oh, Mr. Ferguson, go take care of your business, Robin replied, nodding toward the helicopter.
“Ah… right, Mr. Ramsey Jonah sensed there were things Robin couldn’t discuss with him.
“Will you be staying in the provincial capital for the next few days? If so, I’ll reach out when I’m done, and maybe we can grab a meal.”
Robin checked the time. “I should still be around. Contact me once you’re free.”
“All right, Mr. Ramsey. We’ll be in touch.”
After a brief handshake, Robirf boarded the helicopter, flying off with the War Wolf Special Forces toward Wallaby Mountain Training Center.
On the southern outskirts of the provincial capital, near Westhill Lake, a military jeep sat parked. The night was still, with only the breeze, lake water, and chirping insects breaking the silence.
Inside the vehicle, Jack and Wilson sat in tense silence.
A figure in black swiftly slipped into the car. “Reporting in, General. We’ve received word from Fricana.” Jack immediately opened his eyes. “Let’s hear it. What did you find?”
The black–clad guard spoke gravely, “The individual strongly resembles the notorious figure rumored on

the Fricana battlefield over the past three years.”
“The World of Darkness gave him a chilling title–Divine Drakebane.”
“However, the short dagger he wields is not known to have any legends of bloodlust or a ‘Dragon Emblem as claimed on the Fricana mercenary front.”
“Other than that, most other characteristics match.”
“He’s also said to be accompanied by someone known only as Old Fred, though his exact age is unknown.”
No one has seen either Old Fred or Divine Drakebane in person, but the tales about them persist.”
“This is all the intel we’ve gathered; there’s no further traceable information.”
“On that battlefield, there’s a saying: Anyone who sees Divine Drakebane is doomed to become wandering soul.”
Jack and Wilson froze.
“He truly is a god of death.”
Jack raised his hand, signaling the guard to leave. The black–clad figure exited the jeep, disappearing into the dark.
Silence filled the jeep once more.
“General Grayson, what’s your take on this?” Wilson finally broke the silence after several minutes.
Jack slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the eerie lake surface.
“Robin’s skills are far too unusual, and there’s always been something elusive about him. His behavior reminds me of someone.
“Right now, we can almost conclude that Robin might indeed be this Divine Drakebane.
“As for any connection he might have to the Dragon Manor massacre over 20 years ago, that will need further investigation.
