“He’s the top figure in the Go community across Southeast Auriential
Does Mr. Shorts know more about what happened back then?
Jack exhaled deeply, nodding. “Possibly. But I’m only speculating.
“After the Dragon Manor massacre, Benjamin left the Central Inspection Office. His departure was unusual.
“That same year, the Palace Master of the Dragon Palace, known as the Dragon Slayer, was being held in Mount Valurian Dragonhold.
“Benjamin, along with two wardens, was responsible for overseeing the case.
“But on the night of the massacre, the Dragon Slayer mysteriously vanished from Dragonhold.
“According to Benjamin’s statement, by the time he arrived at Dragonhold, the two wardens were dead at the scene. It was said to be gruesome.”
Jack paused, refraining from describing the bodies that had turned to shriveled husks.
“The two wardens who accompanied Benjamin to Dragonhold died that same night after returning.
“Dragonhold’s cells are made from the sturdiest materials; even a mosquito wouldn’t make it out..
“The prison’s locks are secured with the highest–level acoustic code, a password system that’s impossible to
crack.
“And yet, there were no signs of the lock being tampered with, no indication of forced entry.
“Somehow, the Dragon Lord inside had vanished without a trace.
“For the past 20 years, there hasn’t been a single clue.”
Wilson frowned deeply, murmuring, “I can’t shake the feeling that Master is still somewhere near us… He must still be alive.“”
E
Jack nodded, resolute. I’ve always believed that as long as the Dragon Lord’s injustice and the massacre remain unresolved, he would never leave us.
“I’m sure that someday he’ll come back, stronger than ever,”
At this, Jack’s eyes glistened. “But it’s been 20 years. Why hasn’t there been a single lead?
“Of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, I’m the only one left, holding on. The others lost hope long ago and retreated into obscurity. Will there ever be a reunion?”
Wilson shook his head bitterly. “General Grayson, you’ve carried this burden for so long

Jack sighed. “As long as I still draw breath. I’ll wait for him, the one I’m meant to see again.
“My instincts tell me that he’s drawing closer”
Jack looked out into the pitch–black night beyond the car window, murmuring. I have to prove that the betrayal pinned on the young lord of Dragon Palace was a setup.
“That year, Benjamin was the only one who witnessed the scene at Dragonhold. He must know more than he’s let on
“All these years, he’s lived in seclusion, never saying a word about that night. There must be a reason for his silence.”

“All these years, I’ve harbored serious doubts about the Dragon Manor massacre,

“How could the Dragon Slayer, the head of the Eight Kings and the military’s most trusted leader, suddenly be imprisoned in Mount Valurian Dragonhold?
“And as if by some cruel twist of fate, on the very night he was imprisoned in Dragonhold, Dragon Manor was attacked by foreign masters–thirty–seven people, the entire household, were massacred!

“After the Dragon Manor massacre, the military headquarters did not explain.
“Everyone just kept silent about it.
“What happened?
“To make it stranger still, the Dragon Slayer mysteriously vanished that same night, and since then, no one has come forward with any explanation.
Wilson paused, hesitating for a moment before he continued, “General Grayson, I may be out of line saying this.
“I’ve heard rumors, more than once, that Lord Dragon Slayer and the Young Lord were accused of betrayal -of conspiring with the enemy, of killing their comrades with their own hands.
“That’s why they were sent to Mount Valurian Dragonhold. But no one could provide concrete evidence to prove this accusation.
“There’s just something so strange about it all!”
Jack frowned as if holding back words.

Wilson sighed deeply. “It’s all right. Even if you don’t speak, I understand.
“The massacre at Dragon Manor was classified as top secret by Draconia’s military headquarters. At my level. I wouldn’t be privy to such matters.
“But to accuse Draconia’s foremost military hero, Dragon Slayer, of betraying his country? Such a charge is unacceptable to me.
“A man as powerful as Dragon Lord–how could he commit such a disgraceful act?”
Mack nodded. “You’re right, General Wilson. This is, without a doubt, a major conspiracy!”
Wilson’s tone grew resolute. “I also believe this was a plot against Dragon Lord!
“The man I respected most, Draconia’s chief military hero, Dragon Lord, spent his life fighting for Draconia, achieving countless victories!
“It could be said that without Dragon Lord, Draconia wouldn’t have enjoyed these years of peace and stability.
“During his service, there was hardly a single war on Draconia’s borders.
“For someone with such a commitment to the country, to betray his comrades and brothers is unthinkable.
“To accuse him of such a crime? It’s impossible!
“It’s slander–a conspiracy!”
Jack took a deep breath. There are too many oddities here. After that incident, none of the Seven Kings of Brighton have spoken of those events. The top ranks in the military treat it as a forbidden subject.
“It’s as if the massacre at Dragon Manor never happened.”
Wilson asked, “General Grayson, what could have driven such sinister individuals to successfully carry out this scheme?”
Jack paused. “That year, Southmere’s border was suddenly invaded by Singinia. They killed our people. seized our land, and bombarded our border forces.
“After receiving the military command to eliminate the threat swiftly, Dragon Lord sent Young Lord Dragon, along with 100 of Draconia’s top Dragon Soul elites, to drive out the invaders.
“But as soon as Dragon Soul’s 100 elites entered Southmere’s border, they were ambushed by an enemy force over ten times their number.
“In the end, all 100 elite soldiers perished!
“But Young Lord Dragon returned alone, yet he did not report back. Instead, he headed to Harmonfield by himself, and ultimately disappeared!
“The very next day, the massacre at Dragon Manor took place.”

Chapter 472 Someone Wants to Destroy War Wolf
As Jack spoke, fury ignited in his eyes,
“Back then, Young Lord Dragon was the leader of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, loyal to Draconia to his very core.
“Singinia had been provoking us repeatedly on the southwestern border, so he was ordered to lead a retaliatory mission there.
But before they even reached the border, his elite team fell into a brutal ambush!
“One hundred of Draconia’s finest were all killed in action!”
“Who leaked the details of such a top–secret operation?”
“Those hundred elites were personally trained by Young Lord Dragon–they were as close as brothers.
“Young Lord was a man of deep loyalty; he would never betray his own.
“And the first place he went upon returning to the country was Harmonfield. Was that his choice, or was he acting on someone’s orders? Or maybe he’d discovered the conspiracy and couldn’t return to Brighton?
“We just don’t know!”
Wilson nodded. “If it was a conspiracy, then maybe Young Lord Dragon was acting on a false order from
someone.
“General Grayson, who was in charge at Dragon Palace that day?”
Jack frowned, thinking hard. “Erm… all 12 of us were dispatched on assignments at the time, so I don’t know who was at Dragon Palace.
“Erm… General Wilson, you’ve given me a crucial cluet
“If Young Lord received a false order directing him to Harmonfield without reporting back first, then whoever gave that order is the mastermind behind this scheme!
“I’ll find a way to uncover the truth.”
Wilson paused. “General Grayson, have you discussed this with General Levi, the current acting head of Dragon Palace?”
Jack shook his head. “No. A conversation like this–I wouldn’t dare bring it up openly in Dragon Manor.
“Because if that massacre was a conspiracy, then besides the Seven Kings, someone within Dragon Palace could be involved too.”
Wilson nodded. “Exactly! General Grayson, this must be investigated quietly. They’re hidden in the shadows, while we’re in plain sight. If we publicize this, it’ll only make things more tangled.”
Jack looked out the window. “The night Young Lord Dragon returned to Harmonfield, many top foreign experts appeared there as well.
That night, there was a fierce battle in Dragon Ridge Valley on Harmonfield’s Dawnspire Mountain.

“They could’ve arrived much faster by helicopter, yet they chose to come on foot.

“And even if the elite forces 30 miles away couldn’t make it, the top warriors stationed in Brighton could have reached Dragon Manor within five minutes.

“Afterwards, the Seven Kings tried to justify it, but their excuses were flimsy. Their power, however, spoke for itself.

Jack leaned back in his seat, exhaling. “The military higher–ups have long noticed this trend.

“It’s been 20 years since the fall of Dragon Manor. With Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon both gone. the Dragon Palace’s structure remains.
“For two decades, Levi has been the acting head of Dragon Palace, and no one dares talk about abolishing the Dragon Lord’s position.
“As long as Dragon Palace stands, it must retain its place among the Eight Kings!
“However, if neither Dragon Lord nor Young Lord–or even the young heir–returns, Dragon Palace’s structure may not hold much longer.
Dragon Lord, Young Lord, or even the young heir were to reappear, the chief of the Eight Kings would undoubtedly belong to the Dragon Palace’s leader!
“Thanksgiving next year marks the selection of the Eight Kings‘ chief–1 truly hope we find the young heir before then.
“If he’s still alive, he should be 21 this year.
At this, an image of Robin’s tall, commanding figure flashed through Jack’s mind.
He kept wondering, Robin, could you be the young heir of the Dragons who narrowly escaped that massacre all those years ago?
Wilson observed Jack’s silent reflection and spoke up, his tone serious. Although they haven’t dared seize the chief’s position just yet, they’re gradually taking control of the special operations division Dragon Lord once created.
Jack sighed. “Yes, most of the elite forces Dragon Lord trained have been marginalized.
“Take you, for example–you’re wasted in this position!”
Wilson smiled bitterly, shaking his head in silence.
After a long pause, he said, “General Grayson, during the rescue mission at Sevenfold Crest this afternoon, did you catch what those assassins were saying?”
Jack nodded. “Someone wants to destroy War Wolf!
In that moment, a cold, fierce determination lit up Wilson’s eyes.
“The decline of War Wolf these past few years isn’t just due to lack of training–War Wolf has been targeted.
“Someone’s trying to erase War Wolf, the unit Dragon Lord invested so much in, from the special operations division!
“That’s why I have to protect War Wolf Special Forces so that if Dragon Lord ever returns, he’ll see this elite unit still stands as strong as it did under his command.”
Jack took a deep breath. “Here’s hoping Robin can bring War Wolf the boost it needs this time!”
Wilson nodded. “My instincts tell me War Wolf will make it through this.”

Chapter 473 Shadow
Wilson paused thoughtfully before speaking “General Grayson, have you suspected for a while now that Robin might be the one you’ve been searching for?”
Jack’s eyes lit up “Yes, he’s almost a mirror image! But I’m still gathering more proof. If the young muster is truly alive, it would be a blessing for Dragon Palace—and us!
“With the Dragon Chief election set for Thanksgiving next year, Dragon Palace could rise again. I have no doubt the young master will restore the glory that Dragon Lord achieved, finally clearing the names of goth Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon and exposing the schemes lurking in the shadows.”
Wilson trembled with excitement, hearing Jack’s conviction.
Jack took a deep breath. “According to intelligence from the black–clad guards, it’s highly posible that Robin is the fearsome figure from the Fricana battlefield–the one who even the global World of Darkness fears! The strength he wields is staggering, on par with Dragon Lord and Young Lord in their prime.
“With all the recent intel coming together. I’m more convinced than ever that Robin is indeed the young master who mysteriously disappeared in that massacre.”
Jack’s eyes gleamed with barely contained emotion. “Now, my next step is to confirm if he truly is the legendary Divine Drakebane–and to investigate this man known as Old Fred.
“General Wilson, don’t you think there’s a peculiar connection between Old Fred and Shadow?
“Back in the day, Shadow was the elusive bodyguard who stood by Dragon Lord’s side, and no one ever saw his true face. Rumor has it his skills were beyond imagination. Dragon Lord once told the Twelve Great Warriors that Shadow was the finest fighter in the world. Even Dragon Lord himself wasn’t sure he could always best him in combat.
“If this Old Fred is the legendary Shadow, then Divine Drakebane–trained under him–would undoubtedly be unmatched!
“The elusive Shadow, even among the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, was never seen in person by any of us. But something tells me that Old Fred is indeed Shadow.
“My black–clad guards were able to track Robin in Fricana, but if Old Fred hadn’t wanted them to find anything, his skills would’ve kept them completely in the dark.”
Wilson nodded. “General Grayson, this all points to something, doesn’t it? If you managed to gather these clues, what does that imply?”
Jack froze for a moment. “It means…
he’s feeding us information, dropping hints.
“To him, the line between friend and foe in Draconia might be unclear. He’s testing the waters.”
The realization sent a wave of exhilaration through Jack. “If that’s true, then Divine Drakebane is indeed the missing young master of Dragon Manor!
“If he isn’t the young master, then why come to Harmonfield? And how else would he have accumulated such wealth out of nowhere?
“There’s an intricate web of surveillance and protectors around him–so tightly woven that no intel has slinned through. I can’t see this network, but it’s the handiwork of someone with Shadow’s skill

Chapter 473 Shadow
“When Shadow protected Dragon Lord, no one could approach him undetected. His eyes and ears were everywhere, his defenses impenetrable. His machinations controlled every detail.
“But then again, if someone of his caliber was by Dragon Lord’s side, how could he have missed the plot that wiped out a hundred elite guards that day?”
Jack’s voice dropped to a murmur, heavy with years of unanswered questions. “How could Dragon Lord, Shadow, and Young Lord Dragon–three of the sharpest minds–fail to see through the conspiracy laid against them?”
They were sacrificed in this conspiracy,” Jack murmured. his expression clouded with frustration. “That’s
part I just can’t wrap my head around.”
Wilson looked thoughtfully at the furrowed lines on Jack’s brow. “General Grayson, let’s not probe too deeply into this just yet. If Robin is the young master from Dragon Manor, the truth will reveal itself in
time.”
“If Old Fred placed him in Harmonfield, he must have had his reasons,” Wilson continued. “If we act too hastily, we could end up disrupting his plans. We should stay watchful and avoid exposing Robin’s identity.”
Jack nodded, understanding the risk. “If he is the young master, those schemers will strike again, putting him in grave danger.”
“And if Old Fred is indeed Shadow, Jack went on, “then he’s brought Robin back to Harmonfield to test the waters, to identify who’s pulling the strings. Once they uncover the mastermind, the massacre at Dragon Manor will finally be avenged.”
Jack’s voice grew darker. “Knowing Robin and Old Fred, they would burn Brighton to the ground if it meant justice for the Dragon Manor tragedy.”
Wilson took a deep breath, his face serious. “General Grayson, during the mission to rescue Freya and the
Wolf team members this afternoon, I caught wind of something strange. The assassins kept mentioning an ‘ancient relic.“”
They even claimed that this relic is hidden at the War Wolf training base”
Jack shook his head with a smirk. That’s just a ploy–someone’s attempt to make others take the fall for them. You don’t believe in this ancient relic nonsense, do you?”
“Certain people are shrouding things in mystery, hoping to use others to destroy War Wolf. It’s plain as day.”
Wilson’s eyes gleamed with a fierce determination. “Whoever is behind this conspiracy… the moment we find them. I’ll take them down.”
Jack’s tone turned somber. “After that brutal battle in the southwest, Young Lord Dragon returned to, Harmonfield. Suddenly, scores of foreign mercenaries flooded in, all under the pretense of searching for this so–called relic.”
“But analyzing the aftermath, it’s obvious they came to kill the Young Lord.”
They underestimated him, though. Their lives ended in Dragon Ridge Valley.”
“We have to admit, the mastermind behind all this is cunning. Jack added. “They’ve hidden their intentions behind layer upon layer of deceit, always releasing rumors at the precise moment people start

getting close to the truth.
“But if the young master is back, this shadowy figure won’t stay hidden for long
Wilson straightened. “We can’t let them destroy War Wolf, General Grayson. Whatever it takes, well protect it.
“Right now, the odds are heavily stacked against War Wolf, Jack said. “You can see it too–both Dragon Soul and Dark Panther are colluding to target War Wolf
They’ve turned War Wolf into public enemy number one.”
Wilson nodded. “I’m well aware. The commanders of Dragon Soul and Dark Panther both belong to the Seven Kings faction. Their recent appointments as commanders weren’t coincidental, there’s a dear motive behind it.”
Jack’s voice filled with contempt. “Those scoundrels.”
“General Wilson, we can’t just sit here and do nothing,” he continued. Three days from now, the Special Operations Military Region headquarters will host the final strategy meeting for the provincial capital’s military martial tournament.”
“You should discuss the tournament rules thoroughly with Major General Blunt, Jack said. Let’s see if we can shape them in War Wolf’s favor.
“With Robin leading their training, they’ll be stronger, but overly restrictive rules could crush the spurt of a truly–battle–hardened team.
Wilson gave a nod, a hint of resolve in his eyes. “Don’t worry, General Grayson. Major General Blue and will do everything we can.”

At two in the morning, a cool breeze stirred as a shadowy figure glided like a whirlwind along the edge of Wallaby Mountain Training Center, slipping into Robin’s dorm room.
“Speak. What have you uncovered?” Robin leaned back on the couch, eyes closed.
The Dark Web assassin knelt on one knee and spoke quietly, “Young Lord, recently, the entire World of Darkness is abuzz with rumors that the long–fabled ancient relic has surfaced in Harmonfield.
“As a result, many assassin organizations and factions from around the world are pouring into Draconia’s Harmonfield. Nearly a thousand assassins have already gathered in the area.”
Robin opened his eyes slightly, staring at the ceiling. “Lately, I keep hearing about the ‘Dragon Slayer‘ and this ‘ancient relic. Who is Dragon Slayer?”
The assassin replied, “Dragon Slayer was once a key figure in Draconia’s military–a renowned ‘military god,
“Twenty years ago, his son, Young Lord Dragon, failed on a critical mission and was subsequently imprisoned in the Mount Valurian Dragonhold. That same night, his family estate, Dragon Manor, was utterly destroyed. This is one of Draconia’s highest–level secrets.”
“Does Dragon Slayer have any connection to this ancient relic?” Robin asked.
“It’s said that this relic reappears every 50 years. Before Thanksgiving next year, it’s destined to emerge somewhere in the world,” the assassin continued. “The last sighting was 20 years ago, on the night Dragon
- Manor was destroyed, reportedly right here in Draconia’s Harmonfield.”
“It seems the relic’s reappearance breaks some kind of rule, though I’m not sure exactly what rule that might be,” he added, frowning.
Robin thought for a moment. “So, this ancient relic may have a connection to a high–ranking figure in Draconia’s military?”
The assassin nodded. “Young Lord, rumor has it that the tragedy that befell Dragon Manor was directly linked to this relic.”
“Today, I’ve heard that the relic has appeared near the War Wolf training base. Is that true?” Robin sat up, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, that’s what they’re saying.”
“I’ve also received word that someone within Draconia’s military wants to destroy War Wolf!”
“It’s highly likely some people are using the relic rumors as a pretext, planning to shift blame onto War Wolf’s training base.”
“International assassins are swarming to War Wolf, lured by bounties. Today, they’re here hunting with rewards on their heads.”
“This relic attracts that much attention?” Robin asked, puzzled.

Young Lord, It’s said that this ancient relic can command every celestial warrior and infernal legion.
“In other words, whoever possesses it can control the entire world.”
“With such immense power, it’s no surprise this relic is the focus of countless organizations worldwide, each willing to spend fortunes hiring top fighters to find it.”
Robin let out a cold laugh. “It seems there’s a sinister mastermind orchestrating this from the shadows.”
“There’s one more thing, Young Lord, Major General Grayson’s men have been deploying black–clad guards everywhere, gathering information on you.”
“He’s starting to suspect your identity in Nambutu, Fricana.”
Robin chuckled to himself, amused that Jack had taken an interest in him. He wondered what Jack was trying to discover or gain by looking into his background.
Old Fred wanted me back in Harmonfield.
Now, Harmonfield has become the focal point of the world’s gray zones.
Does Old Fred want me to go after that ancient relic?
Impossible!
If he wanted me to chase after something like that, he wouldn’t be so cryptic.
There’s some kind of connection between the ancient relic and the Dragon Manor massacre.
Does this relic truly exist?
Could it be that Draconia’s military is also searching for it?
He paused, deep in thought. “Have you looked into Jack’s background?“.
The Dark Web assassin replied, “Back in the day, Dragon Palace had the Twelve Great Warriors, and Jack was one of them.”
“After the massacre at Dragon Manor, all the Twelve Great Warriors under Dragon Slayer’s command scattered to the winds, except Jack–he remained at Dragon Manor.”
“It’s said he’s been digging into the mastermind behind the Dragon Manor massacre.”
“He’s investigating this?” Robin’s mind drifted to his previous encounters with Jack.
Could this guy suspect I’m involved somehow?
No, that doesn’t make sense. Twenty years ago, I wouldn’t have had the means.
Then what is he really up to?
A strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
There’s some kind of unbreakable connection between me and Dragon Manor. Could it be that strange?

Robin had asked Old Fred countless times about his origins, where he was born, and who his parents were.
But Old Fred remained tight–lipped.
Robin suspected that there was something unusual about his past.
Could the person Old Fred wanted me to wait for be connected to Draconia’s top–secret case from 20 years ago?
What kind of mystery is he trying to pull here?
Forget it, I’m done guessing!
Robin stepped out of the room and onto the training field at War Wolf.
Suddenly, a shadow sprang up behind him, grabbing him in a tight hug

Robin glanced down at Talia sprawled on the ground and lifted an eyebrow. “Sneaking up on me in the middle of the night, and then expecting me to pay for your butt?”
“You did that on purpose!” Talia fumed, legs stiffening as she lay there.
“You noticed I was behind you ages ago and purposely knocked me over!”
“You attacking me from behind and thinking I wouldn’t defend myself?” Robin chuckled, giving a careless shrug. “Don’t let it happen again, or next time, you might really end up with a broken tailbone.”
“You! Ugh!” Talia scrambled to her feet, clearly–irritated. “I just wanted to surprise–hug you from behind. I wasn’t trying to attack you!”
“A hug, huh?” Robin shot a quick glance at her firm, rounded backside. “Is that supposed to be some kind of bribe?”
Talia quickly grasped what he was implying, her face flushing. “You b*s…”
Robin held up a hand. “Remember, when addressing the chief instructor, you should think carefully before you speak. Or else, I’ll spank your butt again!”
Instinctively, Talia shielded her butt. “Today, we were both incredible during the rescue mission at Sevenfold Crest and the anti–terrorism operation at Brookhaven Hotel!
“I… I was just trying to show my … friendship toward you! Don’t take it the wrong way. It’s purely the relationship between comrades!”
Robin shrugged and gestured at Ernest, Mark, and the others behind Talia. “So, here in the middle of the night, are you all waiting around to express this comradeship?”
Ernest gestured toward Mark and Talia, “Instructor Ramsey, they … they dragged me out here for training in the middle of the night.”
“Training at this hour? That’s insane,” Robin muttered, eyeing them.
“Chief Instructor, only 12 days remain until the final round of the military martial tournament.
“This tournament will decide if War Wolf keeps its place. We need to give it our all for War Wolf’s honor!”
Robin sighed and shook his head. “Go back and get some rest. Training this late? Don’t you plan to train tomorrow?”
“But with the tournament so close, we want to push ourselves harder to feel more prepared. Whatever happens, at least we’ll know we gave it our all!” Mark said, sounding resigned.
“Gave it your all? Feel prepared?” Robin scoffed.

“If you don’t hold onto the belief of victory, all your efforts are pointless!”
Ernest, Mark, and the others froze, a new understanding dawning on them.
He was right. Pretending to work hard meant nothing.
Robin glanced at each of them, seeing their confusion, and waved them off. “Alright, you’ve all been working all day. Go get some rest!
“Along with hard work, using your brain is even more crucial. It’s not about acting like you’re putting in effort.
“Even in the martial tournament, which relies heavily on reaction and skill, intelligence plays a role!
“In 12 days, what can you achieve through sheer force alone?
“If you want to keep War Wolf’s standing, start by restoring your energy and strength.”
Talia frowned, “But right now, we’re trailing far behind Dragon Soul and Dark Panther in points.
“And the final round is an elimination match, where we’ll go up against the two toughest teams, Dragon Soul and Dark Panther, from the top seven military districts.
“How can we possibly secure a win?”
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “Falling behind? Isn’t there still one more round? There’s still hope in the final round!
“On the battlefield, as long as you’re breathing, there’s always a chance to take down the opponent!
“No matter how powerful the enemy is, if you’re willing to fight to the end, you can still turn things around!
“War Wolf isn’t losing due to lack of skill, but because of doubt!
“If you’re still unsettled and practicing just for reassurance, even if you train nonstop for days, you won’t be able to change the outcome of defeat!
“Now listen to me. Everyone, go get some sleep! Wake up at eight sharp tomorrow morning! Be ready to gather at nine o’clock!”
“Yes, Sir!” Talia, Ernest, and the others immediately dashed off to their dorms.
As Robin watched them leave, he called toward a shadow lurking near the field, “Come out!”
Freya hesitantly emerged from the corner. “You … you knew I was there?”
Robin looked over at Freya Wright, who was standing with her head lowered.

Despite the faint lighting on the field, the flush on the proud colonel’s checks was visible.
“Yeah, I noticed when you started following me onto the field. Why are you out here so late?”

If the lights hadn’t been so dim, she likely would have dashed off by now.
She could already feel the warmth spreading across her face.

Having been raised in a well–off family, with her father serving as the mayor of Harmonfield, there was no reason she should feel nervous around any man.
Yet, after today’s rescue mission at Sevenfold Crest, an unfamiliar sense of shyness crept up in her presence with Robin.
The normally bold and decisive colonel of the War Wolf Special Forces now found herself uncertain about how to voice her feelings to him.
“Do you intend to squat in the shadows all night?” Robin Ramsey asked, grinning as he noticed Freya Wright lingering quietly in the corner.
“You!” Freya huffed, stomping her foot, surprised by his bluntness.
He hadn’t even considered how a woman might feel.
“When did I ever say I’d squat here all night?
“I just want to thank you for saving me today! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been ready to die with those beasts!”
Freya approached, closed her eyes, and poured out her heart. “Thank you. I think … I’m starting to like you!”
Oh no, why did I say that so suddenly?!
Freya’s fair, delicate face turned as red as a ripe apple.

She mustered the courage to lift her head and looked at Robin, waiting for his response.
“Huh? Oh! … seriously?” Robin was also taken aback.
“You… you’re such an id*ot!” Freya, seeing the confused look on his face, stomped her foot and hurried back to her dorm, her head lowered.
“Am an id*ot? Well, whatever!” Robin watched Freya’s graceful figure retreat, shaking his head with a smile.
Freya rushed into her dorm and threw herself onto her bed!
It took her a while to collect herself.
As she replayed her actions in her mind, her heart raced. “Oh no, why did I say all that? How

At the Wallaby Mountain War Wolf training field, 60 members of the War Wolf Special Forces stood in perfect, imposing rows.
Silas, Freya, and Robin Ramsey were positioned at the front of the group.
The atmosphere of the entire field was charged with a sense of valor.
Once the formation was set, Silas turned to Robin and gave a salute, saying, “Instructor Ramsey, please start the training!”
Freya stole a glance at Robin, who stood firmly in front of the formation, her heart racing.
In the past few days, she had begun to really notice the man who made her pulse quicken
Though she had felt some attraction to Robin back in Harmonfield, she never allowed herself to feel nervous or intimidated.
However, after a rescue mission, she knew for sure that he had captured her heart.
This was a feeling she had never encountered in her entire 20 years.
She longed to get closer to this mysterious man, to step into his world, and to experience his captivating allure on a deeper level.
“My War Wolf brothers!” Robin took a step forward.
“Since the headquarters has made me your chief instructor, the objective is simple: make sure War Wolf keeps its title in the final round of the military martial tournament. This is a demand from the military headquarters.
“However, this goal is too low for me!
“In my dictionary, there is only champion and victor!
“Because, as a soldier, if you’re not a champion, if you’re not a victor, then you might as well be dead!
“This is the law of the strong!
“This is the unbreakable rule of the battlefield!
“I’ve heard the history of War Wolf. It used to be the top combat team in the Special Operations Military Region! That was the proud legacy of War Wolf!
“But in just a few years, how did War Wolf fall to where it is now?
“This is the disgrace of War Wolf! And it’s your disgrace!
“Yesterday, some of you witnessed a harsh rescue mission up close.

“How will you face the families of your sacrificed brothers then?”
At that moment, all 60 War Wolf comrades on the vast training field let out a furious roar that echoed into the sky.
“For the honor of War Wolf, we will fight until our last breath!”
Silas and Freya were equally moved by Robin’s powerful words.
Seeing the passionate comrades igniting the entire field with their energy, Silas and Freya couldn’t help but clench their fists in excitement!
It had been a long time since they had witnessed such a display of fiery determination.

After allowing the group to simmer with intensity for a moment, Robin raised his hand to quiet them. “Remember, brothers of War Wolf, from now on, your sole mission is to defeat Dragon Soul and Dark Panther, and restore War Wolf’s former glory!
“I want to emphasize that when setting goals, you must not act impulsively!
“Some of you wanted to skip sleep last night and head straight to training. This is the wrong approach!
“Every competition, every battle, requires you to use your mind!
“All of you are top soldiers chosen from different units. I believe that before you joined War Wolf, you all went through intense selection processes and earned your place in the War Wolf Special Forces.
“What does this mean? It means your basic skills are already at the level of a highly trained special forces soldier!
“So, if that’s the case, why does War Wolf keep losing so badly in every martial tournament?
“The truth is, you lose because of a lack of confidence!
“That’s why, over the next 12 days, we’ll focus on improving both your technical skills and your mindset!
“If the outcome of something isn’t as expected, it’s because your mindset is off.
“If your mindset is wrong, you need to stop and correct it!

Robin then thoroughly discussed the concept of champions.
Throughout the entire morning, the War Wolf members focused on shifting their old combat strategies.
With Robin’s direction, they came to realize that champions succeed because they all possess the mentality of a champion.
By the end of the morning session, after intense mindset training, the 60 members of War Wolf shed their exhaustion, each soldier experiencing a significant transformation.
After the training, Freya personally prepared two dishes for Robin in the small cafeteria.
One was honey garlic pork, and the other was spicy beef.
As soon as Robin entered the restaurant, Freya rushed over from behind, carrying the dishes. “Come with me to the private room.”
“Private room?” Robin asked, looking at Freya, who seemed to be acting like his wife.
Freya tugged him along. “I asked the chef to cook these two dishes just for you.”
“Just for me?” Robin then noticed the two plates of mouthwatering food she was holding.
Freya muttered irritably, “It’s not just for you, you’re the chief instructor, and you deserve to be treated this way!
“Come on, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
Noticing his confused look, Freya gave him a swift kick. “Hurry up! It’s urgent!”
Robin was taken aback. Was this really the proud Colonel Freya?
“Hurry up! It’s urgent!” Talia mimicked Freya’s tone and came running up from behind.
“The cafeteria is playing favorites today, Mr. Robin’s meal is different from ours!”
Talia glanced at the food in Freya’s hands. “Honey garlic pork, my favorite! I want some meat too!”
“Don’t you already have meat on your plate?” Freya quickly stepped aside.
“The meat on my plate doesn’t taste good. I want to try Mr. Robin’s instead!”
“Go away! Why did you want Robin’s meat? You can’t eat his meat! Just eat yours!” Freya shoved Talia aside, grabbed Robin, and hurried into the private room as if fleeing.
As soon as they entered the private room, Freya quickly locked the door.
Robin looked at her and laughed, “We’re just having a meal, why does it feel like we’re speaking around?” “Don’t mind her. She’s been spoiled by Investigation Division 7!” Freya peeked out the window to ensure/4

Then, she picked up a piece of honey garlic pork and fed it to Robin.
“I want some tool
Freya’s hand shook as she held the piece of meat.
Looking to the side, she noticed a pair of wolf–like eyes staring at the honey garlic pork through the window of the private room.
“Talia, will you ever stop?”
“Freya, I want to eat that pork too!” Talia pressed her face against the glass, giving a playful pout.
“No, this was specially made for Instructor Ramsey!” Freya ignored her and hurriedly fed the pork to Robin.
Robin hadn’t even finished swallowing the first piece of meat when Freya quickly pushed the second one into his mouth, nearly making him choke.

Robin coughed, struggling to speak. “Stop, stop
“If you keep shoving meat in my mouth, I’ll choke!
“Are you feeding me or just cramming food down my throat?”
Freya glanced back and found Robin’s mouth packed with chunks of meat.
“Alright, hurry up and eat!” she urged, poking at the meat in his mouth with her fork.
“Once Talia walks in, there won’t be any left. She’s like a hungry wolf!”

Robin quickly brushed Freya’s hand away. “You can’t just treat my mouth like a dumping ground and stuff your food in there!”
Freya glanced at the face pressed against the window and sighed, “Alright, alright, I get it.
“Robin. I’ll go let her in. It’s not right to leave her shouting outside like that.”
She slid a plate of meat toward him. “Come on, cat up! There are only a few pieces left. Finish them fast!”
Robin stared at her anxious face, at a loss for words. “Honestly, do you think I’ve never had meat before?”
“Come on, hurry up and eat! Freya urged, casting a quick look outside.
“Ugh, it’s too oily!” Robin groaned, spitting out a chunk of fat.
“I haven’t even had a proper bite, and you’re already pushing fatty pieces into my mouth. I didn’t even get a taste, your meat got stuck in my throat.”
Freya glanced at Robin, his mouth slick with oil, and laughed awkwardly. “Uh, sorry… maybe you should wipe your mouth first.”
“Freya, can I have some meat too?” came Talia’s voice, calling from outside.
“She is really annoying!” Freya muttered, shooting a glare toward the window as she reluctantly went to open the door.
“Wow! There’s still some meat left. I’ll take it!” Talia eagerly pulled the honey garlic pork from in front of Robin to her side.
Freya mumbled under her breath, “Such a greedy puppy!”
“Hmph! Call me whatever you like, as long as there’s food! Talia shrugged, unfazed, and quickly polished off the pork in her plate.
“Go ahead, eat! You’re devouring it like a pig! Freya observed Talia wolf down her meal and shot her a look of contempt.
Talia caught sight of her irritated face and chuckled, “Colonel Wright, you’re getting so worked up over a few pieces of meat, acting like a child. Hahaha

At that moment, a major appeared at the doorway, delivering a message, “Instructor Ramsey, General Grayson, and Major General Wilson are waiting for you in the operations room. They’d like you to join them after lunch.
“Got it. I’ll be there shortly. Let them wait.”
Robin finished his meal and exited the private dining room.
Talia leaned in closer to Freya and murmured, “Colonel Wright, is Robin your boyfriend? The way you two were earlier, it looked like you were trying to feed him your own meat.”
Talia made a point of glancing at Freya’s chest with a mischievous smile.
Freya quickly grasped her meaning and turned red, snapping. “You brt! Keep talking like that and I’ll have you run 20 miles with a heavy pack!”
Talia chuckled and lay back on Freya’s chest. “From your face, it’s obvious you like Mr. Robin!”
“Talia have you lost your mind? Keep this up, and I won’t share any of my meat with you!”
Talia playfully leaned in closer to Freya. “If you won’t share with me, will you give it to Mr. Robin instead?”
Freya instinctively glanced at her own chest, then pushed Talia away. “You little rascal, how shameless! How dare you say such things, you’re nothing but a troublemaker!”
Talia stuffed a piece of honey garlic pork into her mouth and grinned. “Colonel Wright, if you won’t admit you like Mr. Robin, then I’ll just pursue him.”
“You… how dare you!” Freya’s face flushed red with fury.
“Haha… see, you’re admitting it now, I’m not lying. If you don’t do something soon, I might just start making my move on Mr. Robin!” Talia laughed as she chewed on the honey garlic pork.
“I’m done talking to you, you little devil. If you keep this up, you’ll regret it!” Freya’s face was bright with embarrassment, and she hurriedly left the room.
After running for a bit, she suddenly realized she had ended up in the same spot where she’d spoken with Robin the night before.
As she recalled everything that had happened earlier, Freya covered her face and whispered to herself, “Oh, it’s so embarrassing that someone noticed. How embarrassing!”
Inside the War Wolf Special Forces Operations Room.

“According to their final wishes, the four fallen heroes requested that their ashes be returned to their hometowns for burial.
“As per the headquarters decision, the belongings of the fallen soldiers will be placed in the Eternal Honor Cemetery. Their ashes will be sent back home, and the local government will handle the arrangements for
their burial.
“At that time, all officers and soldiers of War Wolf, along with representatives from the special forces, will escort the fallen heroes ashes back to their hometowns.
“This ceremony will be held after the martial tournament.
“Any War Wolf members who wish to take part in the escort must ensure that War Wolf maintains its
stabus
“Otherwise, other special forces will handle the task.
“I believe Commander Colton and the War Wolf brothers don’t want to see that happen.”
Therefore, the Headquarters expects War Wolf to uphold its honor in the final round of the tournament.
In the previous three rounds, War Wolf’s points were quite low, placing them near the bottom based on the current scoring system
“In the final elimination round. War Wolf will go up against the top two teams from the previous rounds. If they succeed, they will secure their place.
“As of now, two teams are in this position.
“War Wolf is up against a major challenge.
The final round of the martial tournament is just 12 days away.
The Military Headquarters plans to hold a briefing on the updated rules for this tournament round in the Provincial Capital Headquarters operations room.
“Some activities, like parachuting and water crossing, have been temporarily removed, with the focus shifting solely to individual combat skills.
The headquarters has observed that in past international military martial tournaments, individual combat skills have been the weakest area for the Draconia Special Operations Military Region.
“Consequently, the Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters has decided to evaluate only the individual combat skills in the final round.
Lieutenant General Hunter will be part of the assessment process.
Those are the final instructions from headquarters.

Robin called out to Jack, “Mr. Grayson, hold on a moment!”
The room fell silent in shock.
Jack glanced at Robin, signaling for Wilson, Silas, and the others to step out.
Robin locked his gaze on Jack, causing him to feel a bit uneasy.
“Why… why are you looking at me like that?”
“Why am I looking at you?” Robin’s expression turned serious. “Are you investigating me?”
Before Jack could respond, he caught a glimpse of a fierce, deadly intent in Robin’s eyes.
“Are you aware of the consequences of investigating me?”

That urgent, constricting sensation was something he had only experienced before in the presence of Dragon Slayer and Young Lord Dragon
Very few could impose such a powerful feeling of tension on him.
Watching Jack’s shifting expressions, Robin suddenly laughed. “Old man, did I scare you?”
It was only then that Jack felt a release, his tension easing.
Jack rolled his eyes and pressed his lips together. “Yes, you did scare me. For a moment there, it felt like you might actually try to finish me off.”
As he started to unwind, a faint smile broke across his face.
Then, without warning, Robin’s expression hardened. “Scared you, huh? Then why did you investigate.
“Do you have any idea where those who investigated my life ended up?” Robin continued coldly.
“Let me make it clear. They all died!
“If you’re hoping to stay alive a bit longer, recall those black–suited bodyguards immediately.
“If it weren’t for that almost charming look of yours, they’d have died ages ago.”
“Charming?” Jack froze, taken aback. Did he just call me charming?
Robin scoffed. “From the first time you met me, you already had your men tailing me.
“You’ve got your eyes all over the roads around Dragon Ridge Valley and Dawnspire Mountain, even keeping remote surveillance around me.”
“There’s a tiny camera hidden in the trees along the Dawnspire Mountain road every 20 yards. Quite clever of you, Old man!
“So, what is it you’re so desperate to know from me? Just ask. I’ll tell you directly!
Jack felt a chill run down his spine at his words, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
“I’m looking into a case about two bodies at Westhill Cemetery. Maybe it’s just… a coincidence.”
Robin’s lips curved into a smirk. A coincidence? Who do you think you’re fooling? There are far too many coincidences happening around me. Don’t you think it’s a bit suspicious?
“Did yesterday’s rescue mission reveal something to you?”
With that, Robin leaned in close, a sly grin on his face. “Dragon Palace, Dragon Soul, the Twelve Great

Jack’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared into his calm gaze. “How… how could you possibly know?”
Robin gave a slight smile. “You caught my attention by digging into my life. So, I decided to find out whot you really are.”
He clapped Jack on the shoulder, then turned to leave the operations room, giving a casual wave. “Don’t forget what I said! I’m leaving!”
Jack stayed rooted to the spot, watching Robin walk away before finally releasing a long sigh of relief.
His entire body was drenched in sweat, and Robin’s intense presence had left him genuinely shaken.
Robin actually knew about the Dragon Soul and the Twelve Great Warriors!
Jack couldn’t stop replaying the look on Robin’s face in his mind.
It was almost certain that Robin had to be the legendary Divine Drakebane, the one who made the World of Darkness tremble.
But could it be that Robin was also digging into the explosive case of the Dragon Manor from years past?
Otherwise, how else would he know about the Dragon Soul and the Twelve Great Warriors?
That name had vanished from existence 20 years ago.
Was Robin truly the mysterious missing heir of the Dragon Manor from the past?
As Jack pictured Robin’s face, a surge of hope ignited within him.
Could it be him after all?
The same piercing gaze, the same cool demeanor.
He manages every situation effortlessly.
It seems there is nothing beyond his command.
It’s strikingly similar!
Incredible how similar it is!
Wilson walked back into the operations room and noticed Jack’s absent expression. “General Grayson, what’s going on with you?”
Jack snapped back to reality, realizing he had been standing there for almost 20 minutes.
Noticing the sweat soaking his clothes, Wilson asked, “General Grayson, what did he say to you?”
Jack shook his head. “He didn’t say much, but he did make me realize something

Silas, Ernest, Robin, Talia, Freya, Mark, and the rest of the War Wolf Special Forces team made their way to the Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters in the provincial capital, driving three jeep war vehicles.
An hour and a half later, they reached their destination
The special forces from all Seven Military Zones had already gathered at the headquarters operations
room.
As soon as Robin and his team stepped inside, they came face to face with representatives from the Dragon Soul and Dark Panther special forces.
The top warrior from Dragon Soul Special Forces, Bill Lineker, stood before Silas and Ernest, his gaze sharp. “Commander Colton, Instructor Rudwick, I heard there’s a new chief instructor who arrived yesterday and went head–to–head with our commander. Is he really that impressive? Where did he come from?”
Silas’s voice turned icy. “Bill, what are you implying?”
Bill grinned. “Commander Colton, I’m not implying anything. I just want to see what kind of person has the nerve to challenge Commander Fennimore.”
Ernest motioned toward the figure among them, signaling that it was Robin, the instructor who had clashed with Morris the day before.
Today, Robin was dressed in casual clothes instead of a military uniform.
Bill approached Robin, giving him a scrutinizing look. So, you’re Instructor Ramsey? With that young face, are you just some high–up son, right?
“War Wolf is nearly eliminated, yet here you are. Are you planning to make a fool of yourselves today?”
With a loud “smack“, Robin slapped him on the shoulder.
Bill’s legs buckled, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.
“A mere major, daring to act this bold in front of me?” Robin’s voice was cold.
Ernest’s voice turned sharp. Bill, this is Major General Robin Ramsey, the chief instructor specially assigned by headquarters. How dare you behave so disrespectfully in front of a general!”
Bill, having been on a mission the day before, hadn’t known that Robin held the rank of major general. He froze, stunned by the revelation, but the soldiers around him quickly confirmed Ernest’s words..

Realizing his mistake, Bill quickly snapped to attention and saluted. “My apologies, General Ramsey. 1 didn’t know your identity!
Despite his words and actions, there was still a trace of contempt in his expression.
Robin spoke coldly, “You think you’re worthy of pride with such little skill? Move aside!”
Without hesitation, he pushed Bill.
Bill staggered back, his mind suddenly struck with disbelief.
As an experienced warrior with a solid foundation, how could he be so easily pushed by Robin with just a single hand?
“General Ramsey, even though you outrank me, I challenge you to a duel in the martial tournament in 11 days.
Ernest moved ahead and said, “Bill, General Ramsey is the chief instructor. You have no right to challenge him!
“Move aside! The chief instructor cannot participate in the tournament!”
Morris took a step forward and chimed in, “We’re here today to go over the rules for the final elimination match.
“The chief instructor is also a special forces warrior, so I believe he can compete.”
His words clearly implied that he wanted Robin to take part in the military martial tournament as the chief instructor of War Wolf Special Forces.
Robin paid him no attention and walked straight up the stairs.
Silas, Ernest, and the others quickly followed in his step.
Bill watched Robin leave and let out a soft laugh..
*Commander Fennimore, your remark earlier might have intimidated General Ramsey.
“Today, we need to bring up a proposal at the meeting to ensure that every member of the special forces competes in the final elimination match!”
Morris‘ eyes gleamed with a subtle, complicated smile. Alright, we’ll make that suggestion when the time
comes
“Bill, make sure to train hard over the next few days. Give our Dragon Soul some pride! Beat that arrogant Instructor Ramsey publicly, and then, let’s see if War Wolf still dares to act so smug!”

At the Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters Operations Room.
Representatives from the special forces across the Seven Military Zones gathered around the conference
table.
Morris glanced at Silas, who had maintained a serious expression throughout and grinned. “Commander Colton, regarding the annual military martial tournament and the elimination tournament that is being held every three years, I believe the current rules need some changes.
“If a team drops out due to insufficient overall points, transferring all the members seems like a waste of valuable talent.
Silas raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Commander Fennimore, what do you mean?”
“What I’m proposing is that for this elimination round, the focus should shift toward individual combat as the key criterion for assessment.
“Following the overall tournament for each military region, all core members will participate in another round of the tournament.
“We’ll select the top talents from the disbanded teams and keep them on.
“This way, we can keep elite individuals with exceptional skills for our special forces.
“Take War Wolf, for example–elite members like Colonel Ernest and Lieutenant Mark.
“If they were reassigned to local units because their teams were disqualified, it would be a real loss,
Freya let out a scoff. “So, according to Commander Fennimore, you’re sure War Wolf will be eliminated this time? Or perhaps are you preparing for Dragon Soul’s elimination?”
Morris laughed lightly. “Colonel Wright, there’s no way Dragon Soul will be eliminated with its current strength. Besides, we’re the ones being challenged now
Freya responded with a sharp tone. “Your suggestion isn’t without merit, but we’ve already proposed one as well.”
*Since this is a challenge, if the one being challenged loses, they should be eliminated as well!
“In this individual combat, we can keep some of the top members from the defeated team and allow our War Wolf Special Forces to choose them.”
Bill grinned. “Colonel Wright, from what you’re saying you’re certain War Wolf will win this challenge!” Freya raised an eyebrow, her expression cold. “Until the results are in, anything could happen!”
Bill sneered. “In past tournaments, I alone was able to challenge your entire War Wolf team, and after 11 days, the outcome will be still the same!
In just II days, I don’t believe War Wolf can undergo any significant change!

I’m the champion in hand–to–hand combat, sniping, and parachuting across all Seven Military Zones of the Special Operations Military Region. To this day, only Major General Wilson has come close to breaking my records!
“In every military martial tournament, every member of War Wolf has fallen under my command. You are in no position to challenge me!”
Freya was momentarily at a loss for words, her face flushed with anger.
What Bill had said was undeniable. His individual combat skills were unmatched.
No one in the War Wolf Special Forces could hold a candle to him.
Bill then turned to Miles Parham, the commander of the Dark Panther, and George Loman, the Dark Panther’s most formidable member. With an air of arrogance, he asked. “Commander Parham, Colonel Loman, do you agree with what I’ve said?”
Miles gave a nod and chuckled.
There was no confirmation or denial.
This attitude made it clear that they looked down on the War Wolf Special Forces.
Mark gritted his teeth, his hands shaking with fury. “Colonel Lineker, you’re going too far!”
George let out a soft laugh. “Mark, with your skills, you’re not in a position to say anything. “Colonel Lineker alone can take on all of you, and I can do the same!
“Facing Dragon Soul and Dark Panther this time, it’s certain that War Wolf will lose its title.
“Yesterday, Commander Parham also sent a formal proposal to the headquarters, suggesting that this Special Operations Military Region hold a personal match to save the best members of War Wolf.
“Dark Panther and Dragon Soul have made an agreement. Once we defeat War Wolf, our two teams will face off, and the winner will take in all the top talents.”
Silas‘ face turned pale with rage as he overheard their open disrespect for War Wolf.

And it was undeniable,

comrades!”
He then turned his gaze to Robin, who had been idly twirling a pen. “Instructor Ramsey, what’s your opinion?

“You’re just a bunch of fools who only know how to bark in your den!” Robin said coldly, his eyes never leaving Morris as he casually twirled the pen between his fingers.
The room fell into a tense silence, thick with discomfort.
The smiles on Morris, Miles, and the others‘ faces instantly disappeared.
In a burst of anger, Bill slammed his hand on the table Instructor Ramsey, even if you hold a higher rank, that doesn’t give you the right to insult others!”
Robin replied, raising an eyebrow, “What’s wrong with calling you fool? Do you want me to hit you?”
The pen in his hand shot toward Bill with surprising speed, as though it had sprouted wings.
Bill instinctively raised his hands to shield himself.
But in a twist of fate, the pen slipped through the gap between his fingers and struck him sharply on the forehead.
With a loud thud, Bill’s heavy frame toppled backward and fell to the ground.
The entire room fell into stunned silence.
They had heard that a major general had been appointed as the chief instructor for War Wolf, known for his cold and arrogant demeanor.
But they never imagined he would be this overbearing!
Morris‘ expression darkened and his lips twitched, but he kept silent, not daring to speak out.
A large, egg–sized bump quickly formed on Bill’s forehead.
After a moment of struggle, he finally managed to push himself off the ground and said, his voice laced: with defiance, “Commander, hitting and insulting subordinates goes against the rules!”
Robin pointed at Talia. “Colonel Cross, tell him! According to the military code of the Special Operations. Military Region, how should those who defy or mock their superiors be dealt with?”
Talia immediately rose from her seat. “Commander, when a lower–ranking officer disrespects or insults their superiors, during wartime, battlefield discipline allows for execution by firing squad! In peacetime, they can be sent to a military court, stripped of their military status, and sentenced to confinement!”
Robin’s gaze turned icy as he looked down at Bill, saying. “You’ve shown disrespect to me, so what should. be your punishment? Should I have you executed by firing squad, or should I strip you of your uniform?”
The atmosphere in the conference room turned as cold as a desolate wasteland.

Just like the two previous instructors who had come to War Wolf seeking to build connections.
They never planned to get involved in the operations of War Wolf.

But unexpectedly. Robin was not just distant and arrogant but also held an impressive military rank.
Offending a general was a mistake he couldn’t afford.
If Robin took offense, his career in the Special Operations Military Region could be ruined for good.
The uniform he wore had been his dream since childhood.
Now, it symbolized everything he had worked for in Dragon Soul.
If the military chose to discipline him or even strip him of that honor, it would feel like a fate worse than death.
Though reluctant, he knew he had to do whatever it took to protect his position.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward Robin, pleading General Ramsey, I was just kidding, please forgive
me!”
“Kidding?” Robin snapped, flicking his finger. “Who gave you the audacity to joke with me? Answer me!” Morris, fearing Robin might actually punish Bill in his anger, quickly stood up, his voice shaky. “Please, calm down! General Ramsey, Bill is a cheerful person and enjoys joking around in the Dragon Soul….
“Shut up! Stand at attention!” Robin shouted coldly.
“If he enjoys joking so much, maybe he should be a comedian, not be here!
“You, as a leader, letting your subordinates run wild, disregarding the superiors, and dishonoring other
comrades. What kind of soldier are you?
Comrades should be trusted, should be willing to risk their lives for one another! They are not here to be ridiculed!
With an attitude like yours, do you really think you could stand side by side with your comrades in the face of death on the battlefield?
“You’re such a narrow–minded person. What right do you have to boast?
“If you think you’re so capable, prove it on the battlefield! Show it at the international military martial

“Soldiers who only mock their comrades. Do you really think you’re tough?
“Calling you fool would be a kindness!
“All of you, stand up properly!”
Morris immediately fell silent, fully aware of the gravity in Robin’s words.
“And you two!”
Robin’s gaze turned icy as he told at George and Miles.
Both of them stood up in haste, fear evident in their eyes. “General Ramsey, we were wrong! We shouldn’t have mocked War Wolf’s comrades!”
“Wrong? Is it helpful to apologize now?” Robin sneered coldly.
“Mocking your own comrades is the greatest dishonor a soldier can bring upon themselves!
“Listen to me! All four of you, line up in front of the door!”
Miles, George, Morris, and Bill quickly dashed to the door and lined up, standing stiff and straight.
“This time. I’m giving you a chance! If you can’t defeat War Wolf in 11 days, all of you are out of here!”
Just then, Lieutenant General Hunter, the commander of the Special Operations Military Region, entered the operations room with Xavier and Wilson.
Hunter glanced at Morris and the others standing at the door.
Assuming they were lined up to greet him, he motioned for the others to enter the room. “Alright, everyone comes in.”
Morris, Miles, Bill, and George anxiously turned their eyes to Robin Ramsey,
Hunter, confused by their hesitation, asked, “Why are you all just standing there?”
Yet again, Morris, Bill, and the others shifted their gaze to Robin.
Robin stayed quiet, eyes lowered, and a heavy silence settled over the room.
Hunter, Wilson, and the others exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was going on.
Finally, Robin’s voice cut through the stillness, cold and firm, “This is your last warning. Take your seats!”
“Understood! The four of them quickly returned to their seats.
The sight left Hunter momentarily speechless.
Morris, what exactly are you all up to?” he questioned
Standing up, Morris replied, “Commander Baxter, General Ramsey has been giving us a lecture!”

“Alright, sit down.” Hunter nodded, then reached for his teacup on the table and took a few slow sips.
Just then, Talia stepped forward with a cup of tea for Robin. “Mr. Robin, please enjoy some tea!”
In the large special forces meeting room. Talia’s bright voice was the only sound breaking the silence.
Hunter acknowledged Talia with a nod and remarked to Xavier next to him. “Not bad. Simon’s daughter is quite hardworking, very different from a spoiled daughter!”
He took another sip, then held out his cup, signaling Talia to refill it with hot water.
Talia ignored the gesture and quietly returned to her seat.
Hunter glanced at the documents before him and said, Colonel Cross, pour me some water.”
With a puzzled look, Talia responded. Why should I be serving you? Don’t you have your own staff? I wouldn’t want to overstep my authority.”
Just then, Ernest, who was sitting beside her, nearly collapsed to the ground.
After all, she was the daughter of Mr. Cross, the director of Security Bureau Division Seven. She didn’t need to handle the commander’s water.
A police officer from the Command Headquarters promptly handed Hunter a glass of water.
Hunter glanced at Talia with a slight start, then exchanged a smile
