At the entrance of Santiago’s house at Howellstead, a group of elite soldiers from the War Wolf Special Forces stood firmly, blocking the gates.
Shere, holding a microphone, mocked them with a cruel laugh. “You idiots had better move, or my men will run you over!
“You really think you can protect this house Draven Group wants to tear down? There’s no place we can’t destroy!”
Crispin, shaking in fear, held tightly to Santiago’s urn. Young ones, please step aside. These thugs will do anything. Don’t let this poor house of ours cause you harm.
“If something happens to you, Santiago will haunt me from the grave. Go. You’re young, you have your whole lives ahead of you…
“Crispin, you troublemaker! Today, I’ll destroy your house and see who dares to stop me!” Shere yelled, laughing wildly. He pointed to one of his goons near the front. “Richie, run it over! I’ll give you a million!
“Smash that old fool Crispin into the ground!
“He wants to make a memorial here, right?
“Then crush his son’s urn while you’re at it!”
The thug in the bulldozer’s eyes widened at the mention of the million–dollar reward.
A million! That was a fortune most people could never dream of earning in their entire lives!
All he had to do was push the machine forward, and that money was his.
Without hesitation, he slammed the bulldozer into motion, heading straight for the gates of the estate.
Suddenly, the roar of an engine echoed from the village entrance.
A squad of armored infantry appeared, fully equipped, marching swiftly toward Santiago’s house.
Dozens of soldiers formed two lines, creating a barrier across from the courtyard.
A major approached Robin. “Are you General Ramsey?”
Robin nodded.
“General Ramsey, I’m here under Commander Baxter’s orders, with ten tanks, ready for your command?
Shere froze as he watched from a distance. Ten tanks? What are they doing with tanks here?
Surely, they won’t run me over with them. I refuse to believe these soldiers would be crazy enough to do that!
Gavin was even more stunned. Only the highest ranks could authorize something like this
He couldn’t believe Hunter actually agreed to Robin’s request,

This General Ramsey is no ordinary man!
His actions reminded Gavin of the legendary Warlord Supreme from Draconia. The way he spoke, moved, and acted–it was all eerily similar.
Gavin stared at Robin’s back, suddenly feeling an unsettling confusion.
Bill, on his first mission with Robin, had never imagined a soldier could hold so much authority.
Normally, soldiers would avoid conflict with thugs like these. A small misstep could result in punishment, or even losing their uniform.”
But Robin was different.
He was willing to risk everything–his honor, reputation, and any consequences–to do what needed to be
done!
When confronting evil, he acted decisively.
What use was restraint, calmness, or protest?
These were nothing but empty gestures!
In a world like this, only force against force could make these criminals back down..
Kindness, tolerance, and compromise only made people weak, not noble.
Any claim of restraint in the face of evil wouldn’t reflect decency; it was just cowardice.
Those who allow evil by citing decency were shameless.
The only solution was a forceful counterattack!
Catherine was overjoyed.
This was the most magnificent response she had ever seen.
The sight of ten tanks was enough to shake these criminals to their core.
But everyone had misunderstood.
Shere and his gang were the kind of people who would only back down when they were hurt
They wouldn’t stop unless they were made to suffer.
These monsters had no place in this world. They were the sc*m of the earth, a failed creation, and someone humanity could do without.
After a brief shock, Shere broke into laughter, “Ha! You’re blutling! Come on, run me over! Hahaha… you idiots won’t dare!”
Robin sneered. “Today, I’ll show you the consequences of openly insulting active–duty soldiers!
“Bring in the tanks!” Robin ordered.

The major hesitated. ‘General Ramsey, you want us to run over the bulldozer with the tanks?”
“Not just run over the bulldozer. Run over these sem too!” Robin’s voice was cold.
The major froze. “General Ramsey, please calm down. This… this goes against military protocol!”
At that moment, the thug in the bulldozer raised its scoop and aimed it directly at Crispin, who was clutching Santiago’s urn.
No one noticed.
The thug actually dared to use the bulldozer to crush Crispin.
One of Crispin’s arms snapped.
The um crashed to the ground, its contents spilling everywhere.
Mark, who had been helping Crispin, was also thrown to the ground.
He narrowly avoided having his head crushed–if he hadn’t, it would have been the end.
The major in the armored unit was stunned by what he had just witnessed.
Robin’s cold voice sliced through the shock. This is a direct challenge to us. What else should I care
At that moment, Crispin, with his broken arm and holding Santiago’s urn, collapsed to the ground, crying our in pain,
The deranged thug in the bulldozer slammed it forward, charging into the courtyard.
Shere laughed maniacally and yelled, “Nice job, Richie! I’ll give you another million!”
Robin’s face turned icy. He stormed over to the first tank. “Get out of the way!”
Two soldiers immediately jumped out.
Robin jumped into the tank, revved the engine, and sped toward the bulldozer.
The tank’s long barrel pointed directly at the bulldozer’s cabin.
The thug was frantically operating the scoop, trying to spot Mark
Suddenly, the tank’s cannon barrel slammed into the bulldozer’s cabin.
Robin didn’t slow down.
The thug was crushed against the wall, his body reduced to a bloody mess.
The villagers watching were stunned.
The young soldier has lost his mind!
The major in the armored unit was paralyzed with fear

For a moment, he was frozen, not knowing what to do,
He couldn’t speak–Robin was a Major General, and his actions were beyond his control.
The next moment stunned him even further.
Robin spun the tank around and charged toward Shere, who was still in shock.
Shere never imagined Robin would actually dare to use a tank to crush the bulldozer.
He certainly never expected Robin to kill Richie on the spot!

Shere quickly jumped into the Land Rover and floored the gas pedal, desperately trying to escape.
Robin, undeterred, roared after him in the tank, not holding back.
If this had been a less rural area, Robin would have reduced Shere to nothing with a single shot.
Seeing the tank closing in on Shere, Catherine eagerly jumped into another one.
She had just received a detailed report from Westeria Residence about Draven Group’s criminal activities.
For the past decade, Draven and Shere, along with their ruthless gang, had committed every heinous crime imaginable!
Murder, arson, sexual assault, human trafficking, forced labor, illegal organ trade, smuggling, illegal weapons–these atrocities deserved nothing less than total annihilation!
These people were nothing but vile beasts!
And yet, some had the gall to defend Draven and Shere’s despicable actions!
So–called “saints” who preached compassion dared claim that Draven’s group was just made up of regular people?
What was wrong with their minds?
Such evil needed to be completely eradicated!
Catherine expertly maneuvered her tank, positioning it to block Shere’s path.
The narrow road ahead was now filled with tanks charging in from both directions.
Shere’s heart raced in terror.
These two were madmen!
In this day and age, there were still soldiers willing to risk their lives for something
Robin’s tank showed no signs of slowing down.

“How much do you need? I’ve got it all! What could someone like you even want? Why throw your life away for a few coins?”
Robin sneered, “I have billions of dollars. You think I care about your petty money?
“Talking about money with me is a mistake my wealth is enough to crush you!
“Go to hell! Go join those so–called ‘saints‘ who defend sc*m like you!”
Robin swiftly raised the cannon.
With a dull boom, Shere’s grotesque head exploded in a bloody shower.
In an instant, Robin had ended Shere’s reign of terror forever!
Catherine stared at the horrific scene, her heart pounding.
Robin’s every movement was mesmerizing. He was so powerful!
She leaned against the tank’s command station, gazing at Robin with wide eyes, mesmerized by his raw intensity and terrifying beauty.
Her heart raced uncontrollably.
Robin, you’ve completely captivated me! How could I be so drawn to you?
From a distance, Gavin watched the explosive scene with burning eyes.
I’m no match for General Ramsey!
Bill and the other Special Forces elites were equally stirred.
If we don’t defend justice in this world, who will?
This is our commander!
A commander worthy of our loyalty, no matter the cost!
Only under such leadership can we wear the nation’s armor with pride, defending our people and honor!
The stunning scene shocked everyone around.
With soldiers like these guarding the country, the people of Draconia had nothing to fear.
They knew their allies from their enemies, showing no mercy toward evil.
The bullies and criminals had no escape.

The townspeople of Howellstead, who had long lived in fear, could finally breathe easy, their terror of the thugs who had tormented them vanishing.
They no longer feared retaliation for speaking out.
Joy and relief radiated from every face.
It was as if their suppressed emotions, their gratefulness toward the soldiers, exploded in cheers, shouts, and applause.
C
The townspeople, once oppressed, now jumped in celebration.
The people yearned for heroes, for warriors who would rise up against evil and protect their homes.
A powerful roar echoed from afar.
The Draconian Special Armed Forces, led by Ned, had arrived.
The elite SWAT teains swiftly apprehended nearly 50 of Draven Group’s thugs in Howellstead and cut off all their external communications.
Howellstead was now at peace.
The dark clouds that had loomed over the village lifted, and the sun broke through, casting a warm glow over the land.
Two helicopters touched down in the wheat fields of Howellstead.
Descending from them were Hunter, Hannibal, Dwight, Jack, and others.
The area in front of the Howell family’s house had turned into a scene of military honor, solemn and respectful.
Hunter walked up to Robin and patted him on the shoulder. “Great job! I like a commander who knows how to act decisively!
“Sometimes, if you don’t strike hard, these criminals won’t fear you!
“Anyone who oppresses the people is our enemy!
“Never show mercy to them!
“Being kind to these thugs is a betrayal of our people!
“This mission is about wiping out all criminal elements and restoring peace to our citizens!”
He then walked with Robin to face Crispin.
“Commander Baxter!” the War Wolf Special Forces immediately saluted.
Freya and Talia, supporting Crispin and Skye, introduced, “Mr. and Mrs. Howell, this is Lieutenant General Hunter, from the Special Operations Military Region Headquarters, which Santiago served.”
Crispin and Skye trembled in awe. “Commander Baxter, it’s our honor to meet you…

Hunter shook their hands warmly. “You raised a fine son for our army! Santiago was one of our best soldiers, and he was a great pride for our Special Operations Military Region.
“I’m sorry we were late! We apologize for your suffering at the hands of these criminals!”
Hunter gave a respectful salute.
All the soldiers present saluted Santiago’s memory and paid their respects to Crispin and Skye.
At that moment, Crispin couldn’t hold back his tears. He stroked Santiago’s shattered urn, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Commander Baxter, we’re at peace. We’re proud of Santiago.”
Hunter immediately began organizing the soldiers for a memorial service in honor of Santiago.
The people of Howellstead, once trapped in despair, now saw a glimmer of justice in the world.
Meanwhile, Catherine, still following Robin, received urgent intelligence from the Westeria Residence Intelligence Bureau about Draven’s gang, the locations of hidden firearms, and where Annie was being held captive.
Upon hearing this, Robin immediately sped toward Draven Tower!
Chapter 623 I Listen to Him, Not You
Before Catherine received any updates about the situation at Draven Tower, Robin had already gathered information from the dark web.
Without delay, he ordered the bomb disposal experts to act.
In no time, and without anyone noticing, the explosive devices hidden in the Draven Tower’s underground basement were neutralized.
At that very moment, Annie was being held in a lavish billiard lounge within Draven Tower’s parking
garage.
Catherine was preparing to brief Robin when she realized he had already jumped into a jeep and was speeding toward the tower.
As he made his way there, dark web scouts sent real–time updates about the situation, including details of Annie’s condition.
If it weren’t for the risk of drawing attention from Draconia’s national security, assassins would have already been dispatched to eliminate Draven.
I’m going too!” Catherine said, determined to join him. She swiftly jumped into an armored vehicle, intent on following Robin.
Zayn, who had been accompanying her, immediately blocked her path. “Catherine, get out of the car. Robin is acting recklessly. Are you really going to follow him
into danger?
“Don’t forget, you’re the heiress of Westeria Residence. Your actions reflect on the family!”
Catherine glared at him. “Robin is doing what needs to be done for the greater good. He’s not reckless!
“If my actions bring shame to Westeria Residence, then I’ll leave it for good!”
Zayn was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Catherine to say such a thing.
Clearly, she would rather abandon her prestigious position and follow the
Path she saw as a noble one.
With a swift kick, she shoved Zayn aside. “Move! If you keep acting like this, I’ll you! When will you be a true soldier like Robin?”
Revving the engine of the armored vehicle, Catherine sped off after Robin.
Zayn stood frozen, watching her disappear into the distance.

He never expected his father to support Catherine’s reckless decision.
It was clear to him that such arrogance would lead to disaster.
In Zayn’s mind, pushing too hard would eventually break something.
People like Robin, so filled with pride and disregard for consequences, were bound to destroy their futures.
Shaking his head in resignation, Zayn realized he couldn’t convince his father, Hannibal.
Just then, he saw Gavin rushing toward him.
Zayn stepped in his way. “Mr. Brooks, I advise you to stay away from Robin’s team and withdraw from this international military competition. Associating with someone like him will ruin your future! Look at the chaos this has caused! If even one thing goes wrong, it could end terribly!”
Gavin scoffed. “Zayn, I’m a professional soldier in the Special Operations Military Region, a Major General. I only follow orders from my superiors. Right now, I’m under General Ramsey. I listen to him, not you!
“And remember, I’m still your mentor! You have no right to give me orders. Step aside! Santiago’s sister is still in Draven’s hands. General Ramsey is going to rescue her, and I’ll be the one leading the charge!”
Gavin, Bill, and the others jumped into a military vehicle, following closely behind Robin and Catherine.
Meanwhile, Ned, in charge of Draconia’s Special Police Command and overseeing the “Dragon Slayer” operation to dismantle Draven’s criminal empire, received the latest intelligence.
He immediately gave the order to mobilize the special armed police surrounding Draven Tower, pushing them toward the building.
The task force began securing the streets within a 150–feet radius of Draven Tower.
Taylor from the Brookhaven Police Headquarter also issued orders to advance toward Draven Tower.
In an instant, all forces were focusing on the tower.
It had been confirmed that Draven Tower was a key location for Draven Group’s smuggling operations involving drugs and firearms.

Unnecessary casualties, the remained hidden, awaiting Ned’s command to move forward.
As Robin, Catherine, and the others arrived at Draven Tower, their goal was to neutralize Draven and prevent the bombs in the underground garage from detonating, allowing the special forces to fully engage.

“You wanted me to endorse your product, but my agent has told me it isn’t ready for the market and lacks the necessary paperwork. I can’t shoot any ads for you right now.”
Draven’s eyes scanned Annie’s body, a sly smile spreading across his face.
“Ms. Howell, we can discuss your parents‘ property whenever, and your endorsement can wait. Don’t worry. Everying can be arranged here. As long as you stay with me today, I’ll ensure your parents get more than just that one property. Draven Group can do anything in Howellstead! Hahaha … ”
Annie crossed her arms tightly. “Mr. Jensen, I’m a professional actress. I cannot agree to what you’re suggesting.”
Draven laughed loudly. “Ms. Annie, you think I don’t understand your industry? Don’t worry. As long as you’re with me, I’ll make you a star! I have the money, and if you agree to me, I’ll take care of your parents and make you the top celebrity. Becoming the best actress? That’s nothing for me.
“All those stars on stage–who doesn’t have a rich person paying the bills? Your acting is great, and you’re beautiful. With just a little investment, I can make you an international movie star in a year. Hahaha…”

Then, something became clear. The armored vehicles were all marked with the insignia of Draconia’s Special Police Department!

Draven walked toward him, step by step. “Cosmo, how long have you been with me?”
Cosmo, shaking uncontrollably, responded, “Draven, I’ve been with you for five years.”
Draven slapped him on the shoulder. “Five years… How much money have you made? How many people have you killed? How many women have you abused?

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll blow up the entire lower level of Draven Tower. We’ll all go down together!”
Robin stepped out of his armored vehicle and walked toward Draven, slow and steady.
Annie, in shock, recognized him immediately.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
These were tears of relief–she had found salvation!
As she watched the man, like a god, step toward her, Annie trembled with emotion.
To experience such a miraculous moment in her life, she felt she could die without regret.
“Mr. Ramsey! Please leave quickly, there’s explosives!”
It’s alright. Even if the whole building is rigged with explosives, I’m still taking you out of here!” Robin said, smiling faintly, his voice calm.
Annie had never heard anything so soothing.
Tears streamed down her face. “Mr. Ramsey, did you did you come all this way to save–me
“Yes, I came here just to save you,” Robin replied casually, as if they were chatting about the weather.
“I just got back from Howellstead. When I arrived, I learned that Santiago was your brother.”
Annie stiffened. You…
“Yes. My team and I brought Santiago’s ashes to your adoptive parents house. That’s when I found out that Draven’s men had Shere steal your family’s house.”
Draven screamed, “Did you kill Shere?”
Robin nodded. “Yes. I crushed that b“stard to death with a tank, piece by piece!

Draven’s eyes filled with bloodshot rage. “You devil! You killed my brother–I’ll die with you!”
“Die with me? You’re garbage, you’ve overestimated yourself!” Robin said, wiping his hands clean with a wet wipe.
“There’s no one in this world who can die with me!”

Draven qumbled for the activation device, his finger hovering over the button. “Stop! Take another
step, and you’ll be meeting your end!”
Robin tossed aside the wet wipe in his hand, his voice sharp, “You’re already on the edge of hell. You’ll never see paradise in this life.”
Draven paused, glancing at Robin as he drew nearer. “Do you know what’s hidden in the basement?”
With a cold expression, Robin answered, “Two tons of explosives.
“I know you’ve been preparing for this day, but now that I’m here, those explosives won’t respond to yo commands anymore.”
Draven’s momentary shock faded into suspicion. Have they managed to disable all the triggers?
In a fleeting panic, he scoffed. “You think you can scare me with some trick?
“Look at this, One press of these buttons, and this building will be reduced to rubble!
“You’re young, but you’re making a foolish mistake.
“Annie’s your friend. I’ll let her go. Let’s end this personal vendetta here.
“They say it’s wise to leave a way out, so you can meet again someday.
“We who live on the edge need a way out to survive and keep going. Spare me, and I’ll show you the secret escape. I’ll even give you half of my fortune. What do you say?”
Robin’s lips curled into a cold, humorless grin. “I’m not here to mess around. I’m here to end things.
“I don’t leave any room for escape..
“Since you’ve chosen to stand against me, you’re already finished. There’s no need for further words.”
At that moment, Gavin, Bill, Catherine, and the others gathered around Robin, all of them taken aback as they stared at the remote control in Draven’s hand..
Draven was right–if those two explosives detonated, this entire building would vanish into nothing in seconds.
Catherine cautiously edged closer to Robin, speaking softly, “Robin, please, don’t make a rash move.” “Stay out of it! Do I need your advice?” Robin shot back his voice sharp and unyielding.
Draven chuckled, his voice dripping with amusement, “What’s wrong? Are you all afraid now? Look, we can still talk this through. Tell me how much it’ll take. Eve got plenty of money stashed in foreign accounts.
Robin ignored Draven’s endless chatter, his finger pointing at the growing number of thugs from Draven Group. He turned to Gavin, his voice cold as ice. “Take care of these pests.

In the blink of an eye, Gavin, Bill, and the others pounced on Draven’s men like wolves among sheep, effortlessly overpowering them with deadly precision.
The underground parking lot erupted into chaos, limbs severed, blood spilling, the scene a frenzy of violence.
Draven stood frozen, stunned.
Robin hadn’t flinched in the face of the remote in his hand–he had completely dismissed Draven’s threat!
As Draven hesitated, a flash of movement caught his eye.
Robin had darted forward, grabbing Annie from his grip in the blink of an eye.
Looking down in disbelief, Draven saw his hand–the one that had been holding the knife to Annie’s throat–was now severed, lying on the floor.
Robin’s speed had been so quick, Draven hadn’t even had time to react.
A crazed laugh bubbled from Draven’s throat.
At this speed, Robin could have easily killed him without breaking a sweat
“Why didn’t you just kill me?”
Robin smiled without warmth. “Because you still have something to offer. I gave you a chance. Now stop stalling and do what you must. I don’t have time for your theatrics.”
Draven’s mind raced. How did he know my secret?
Clutching his wounded hand, Draven sneered. “You really are someone who fears nothing. If you’re so eager to die, I’ll make it happen!”
As Draven fumbled with the detonator, Annie, trembling, grabbed Robin’s hand, burying her face against his chest in fear.
Though the threat of death loomed, she felt an unexpected peace, comforted by the warmth of his embrace.
If she had to face her end, at least it would be with him.
The remaining Draven goons, their courage shattered, dropped to the ground, shaking in terror.
The explosives in the building could wipe out everyone here in an instant.
Gavin, Bill, and Catherine gathered around Robin, ready for the worst,
Bill flashed a bitter smile. “If we’re going down like this at least we’re doing it with some dignity.”
Robin smirked, unimpressed. “You’ve got the timing wrong. It’s not your moment for a heroic sacrifice
yet.
Bill’s face fell into confusion.

Annic tightened her grip on Robin, unwilling to let go as she braced for the explosion that never came.
Instead, she breathed in the familiar scent of his clothes, savoring the comfort of his arms, not daring to open her eyes.
Catherine’s anger flared as she saw the sultry Annie clinging tightly to Robin, refusing to release him. She stepped forward and shouted, “Let go!” her voice sharp with frustration.
But Annie seemed oblivious to everything around her, tightening her grip on Robin even more.
Catherine’s patience snapped. “I said, let go! Didn’t you hear me?”
A sudden, sharp pain shot through Annie’s arms, jolting her back to awareness.
She opened her eyes wide to find Catherine glaring at her with barely concealed fury. “Why are you holding onto Robin so tightly? Let go of him already!”
Annie flushed red, embarrassed, unsure of how to respond.
“It’s over. The bomb didn’t go off. Look at your face. You’re truly an amazing actress, Catherine scoffed, crossing her arms. “You could’ve fooled me.”
Annie stammered, “I–I thought it already exploded… but it didn’t?”
“It’s fine now. Stop trying to throw yourself at Robin every time something goes wrong” Catherine shoved her aside and turned to Robin.
“Is the bomb really disarmed? I need a hug now.”
Robin pushed her away in exasperation. “Pathetic.”
Catherine stomped her foot in frustration. This is ridiculous!
“Draven, you coward! Where’s the bomb? Just hit the button already, blow us all to pieces!”
Draven, still reeling from the chaos, stared at them in disbelief,
Are these people insane?
Catherine had already received word from her spies at the Westeria Residence–every activation device in Draven Tower had been disabled.
Frantically, Draven pressed the button, but nothing happened.
In a fit of rage, he threw the remote aside, staggering back until he hit the wall, laughing wildly.
“I hear they call you Mr. Ramsey. So you’re Robin Ramsey, How fitting.” Draven sneered, his laughter growing more desperate. “At least I’ll get to see the light before I die.”
Catherine scoffed. “You? Talking about light? You’re no righteous man. You’re a villain. Just die already
Without warning, she drew a knife and lunged at him.
Robin grabbed her arm. “Wait.”

“Draven, something’s happened!” A woman hurriedly rushed in from the outside, panic clear in her voice.
But the moment she saw the horrific scene before her, she froze. Her eyes darted to Draven, who was being submissive, and then her gaze shifted to Robin and the others.
“I–it’s you?” she gasped, shocked, her eyes widening as she noticed the dark atmosphere surrounding them. Her instincts made her take a step back,
The woman was Draven’s sister, Obadiah Jensen. She was the same person Robin and the group had encountered when they first arrived in Howellstead.
Obadiah shot Robin a hateful glare. “You did this to my brother! I’ll kill you!” she spat, grabbing a short knife from the ground and charging at Robin.
Before she could reach him, Catherine kicked her hard, sending her sprawling to the ground.
With quick precision, Catherine grabbed the knife and pointed it at Obadiah’s head.
Draven, his voice desperate, shouted, “Please, spare her She hasn’t done anything wrong with Shere. All she’s ever done is hide behind the Draven Group and bully others!”
Catherine’s wrist flicked, and in an instant, she struck. The blade severed Obadiah’s arm cleanly.
Obadiah screamed, her pain overwhelming her, and she passed out.
Draven lowered his head in regret. “Mr. Ramsey, I know I deserve death, but here…” He handed over a folder. These are the records of all the people I’ve dealt with over the years.
“They expose the true horror of those monsters–videos, documents, everything. They’re worse than I
ever was.
“Mr. Ramsey, I have an older sister. For years, she’s ignored us, but Annie knows what happened to me as a child. She can tell you everything.”
His voice cracked with sorrow, “My poor sister… she’s still alive. After I killed her homeroom teacher, I chose this path, and she never spoke to me again.
“Please… give her the 200,000 on this card. It’s clean money.
Tearned it before I fell into this darkness, working hard as a deckhand. She deserves this. She’s suffered so much.
Tve tried giving her money countless times, but she refuses it. She would rather struggle with her children than accept anything from me. She thinks it’s tainted.
“But you, Mr. Ramsey, you’re different. If you tell her about it, she will take it.”
Robin took the bank card and the chip from him.
“Alright,” Robin said after a moment of silence. I’ll honor your request.”

He paused, his expression hardening. “But Draven, even though you were forced into this life, the pain you caused to the innocent is unforgivable. You’ve committed too many atrocities.
“Now, it’s time for you to pay with your life.”
Without further words, Robin turned, kicking a short knife that was lying on the floor. The knife flew up. and in an instant, it decapitated Draven.
Blood sprayed out, marking the grim end of Draven’s cursed life.
Robin left the bank card and Rachel’s address behind, then handed the chip to Catherine. “Take this. It’s of no use to me, but Westeria Residence handles these things better than I ever could.
“As for who to arrest or climinate, that’s up to you.”
Catherine eagerly grabbed the chip. “Robin, we can finally talk like normal people. I’m so happy.”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Oh Well, go be happy somewhere else.
“Annie, let’s go. I’ll take you home. Your parents are probably worried.
“Gavin, contact General Feron right now. The explosives in Draven Tower have been deactivated. Well leave the rest to them. Let’s head back!
As Gavin’s message reached the special forces, they stormed Draven Tower.
The Draven Group, which had terrorized the area for nearly a decade, was finally brought to its end.
Annie was about to get into the car with Robin when Catherine squeezed into the passenger seat. Tm riding in this car.”
Annie, who had just lifted her foot to enter, hesitated before pulling it back and sitting in the back insteady
At Westeria Intelligence Agency, the chip that Catherine had brought was immediately passed up the chain of command in Draconia.
A storm of justice was unleashed, targeting the criminals involved in Draven’s empire.
One by one, those complicit in Draven’s crimes were captured,
In the end, Draven, with his own life filled with sin, took down the hypocrites and scoundrels along with him.
Half an hour later, Robin and the others brought Annie back to Howellstead.
Annic rushed to Crispin and Skye, throwing herself into their arms, crying uncontrollably.
She collapsed to her knees with a sob, staring at Santiago’s portrait, tears flowing freely.
Twenty years ago, on a cold winter night, Annie–still an infant–had been abandoned by her birth parents at the entrance of Howellstead.
Later, as she grew, curious villagers revealed to her that she had been adopted by Crispin and Skye, and that her real parents were living in the city.

Her real parents had left nothing behind. simply leaving her to die in the snow, Had Crispin and Skye not found her that night, she would have been carried away by wild dogs.
At the time, Santiago had been only five years old.
Despite their poverty, Crispin and Skye took Annie in. They had little, often surviving on potatoes, but they gave her all the love they had.
For 20 years, Crispin and Skye treated Annie like their own.
Though they struggled, their family was happy, and Annic never felt like an outsider.
Whenever local troublemakers bullied her, Santiago would always be there, fiercely protecting her.
In her childhood memories, Santiago had always been her protector, a mountain of strength.
No one dared hurt her.
As she grew, it was always under the watchful protection of her brother, Santiago.
The day he enlisted, Annie had cried endlessly.
When Santiago returned home in his military uniform for the first time, Annie couldn’t hold back her
emotions.
He had always been her pride.
Thanks to the love of the Howells, Annie never felt the sting of being abandoned by her birth parents.
They raised her with nothing but love and warmth.
In those peaceful days, despite their poverty, they were rich in happiness–true happiness, rooted in family bonds.
But now, that joy was shattered by the loss of Santiago.
All the happiness they once shared had turned into an overwhelming sense of loss.
At times, Annie wanted to scream out in frustration.
Why is it that the good things never last!
Why does the bitterness never end?

When news spread that several influential figures from Howellstead had arrived in town, the small–time leaders of key departments and local gentry from nearby distinguished families were thrown into a frenzy.
They abandoned whatever they were doing–whether it was socializing with lovers or indulging in card games–and rushed toward Howellstead as though their very lives depended on it.
The urgency in their movements was reckless, with cars speeding wildly as if competing in a dangerous race, their haste nearly as intense as a high–speed chase in The Fast and the Furious.
By midday, the area in front of Santiago’s house was overwhelmed with vehicles of all kinds, their owners powerful and well–known in the community.
It was a historic first for Howellstead to witness such a sight.
The Howell couple, watching this display, couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The people who had once treated them with disdain were now offering warm greetings and smiles. For the couple, it was both a joy and a sadness–a realization of how much had changed, yet how little made sense in the world.
Life, it seemed, was a puzzle that grew more confusing the harder you tried to solve it.
Maybe, they thought, it was better not to try to understand everything.
After all, in seeking answers, you could lose everything that mattered.
Crispin and Skye were deeply moved by the respect shown as so many came to honor Santiago’s memory. It was a simple, bittersweet peace, but one that had settled in their hearts,
The memorial service stretched late into the night, with villagers reluctant to leave, lingering in their sorrowful quietude.
By evening, the storm finally cleared. The clouds parted, giving way to a deep blue sky, and a shy sunset bathed the scene in a soft, golden glow.
Through the trees and over the village hills, the last rays of light cast a faint, red–hued glow on Santiago’s
urn.
When Hunter and his group left, the local elite exchanged quick pleasantries with the Howells before heading off in their own vehicles.
The bustling scene quickly gave way to the usual calm of the village.
After the ceremony, the elite members of the War Wolf Special Forces, along with the 30 candidates selected for the international military martial tournament, entered Santiago’s memorial hall only after the crowd had dissipated.
Robin had arranged for these 30 candidates to attend Santiago’s farewell to impress upon them the honor of their duty as soldiers and the importance of living up to the responsibility they carried.
It wasn’t long before the group departed Howellstead, their journey taking them to the Wolfsbane Summit military base in Brighton for an intense month of training.

Meanwhile, the rest of the War Wolf Special Forces, under Silas, made their way to Wallaby Mountain military base outside of Brookhaven.
Robin, on the other hand, was heading back to the provincial capital.
He had promised Draven, in his final moments, to deliver a certain bank card to Draven’s sister.
The money on the card had been earned by Draven during his youth when he worked on a ship–money. he had earned through hard work, not through the criminal activities that followed. Robin knew he had to find Draven’s sister and help the stubborn but pitiful woman.
The next morning, Robin was up early, the provincial capital shrouded in light rain.
The gentle drizzle in Brookhaven always had a melancholy feel, as though the weather itself was mourning.
In the midst of it, a woman from Brookhaven stood in a narrow, rain–drenched alley, holding an old umbrella. She was burdened with a sadness that seemed as endless as the downpour.
She stood, waiting for something she knew would never come–yet still, she couldn’t bring herself to
inove.
Though the future felt hopeless, she continued to stare at the horizon, where the faint sound of migrating birds called out, their sorrowful song mixing with the rain.
Inside a small, shabby room on the southern edge of the capital, Rachel Jensen sat, holding a photo of her four siblings from their childhood, tears running down her face.
“Draven, you’ve left… It’s all my fault…” she whispered to herself.
“If it weren’t for that cruel teacher… if you hadn’t done it for me, none of this would have happened.
“You killed that teacher, and then you made the worst mistake of all–seeking revenge on the world and hurting so many innocent people.
“Of course, I understand you, but I can’t accept the blood–stained money you earned.
“I have to make things right! I need to save our family, raise my daughter to be a good person!
“Draven, Shere–your sins are too great….
Rachel gripped the photo tightly, its edges frayed with age, but still holding the memories of better times.
If only there were a way to turn back time, to undo the pain and return to the innocence of their childhood.
The night before, Rachel had learned that Draven and Shere had been killed, and Obadiah was captured. The entire Draven Group criminal gang had been arrested.
Although she had cut ties with them after Draven and the others chose their dark path, she had never given up hope that Draven might find redemption. But now, it was too late for him.

“Are you Livia’s mom? Please come to the school immediately. Your daughter is in trouble, and you need. to handle it personally.”
It was Sorena Craven, Livia’s homeroom teacher from Southstone No. 1 High School
124
Southstone No. I High School was one of the best in the provincial capital.
Livia Graham had entered as the top scorer in the district and was in junior year now. She had always been at the top of her class since, and Rachel had always been incredibly proud of her daughter.
Rachel’s husband had died in a work accident three years ago, and she had turned down all help from Draven, determined to raise her daughter away from the criminal world Draven had embraced.
Hearing that Livia was in trouble, Rachel’s heart sank.
“Ms. Craven, what happened to Livia?” Rachel asked, anxiety creeping into her voice,
“Oh, your daughter has been a bad influence on others at school. The school has decided to transfer her. You need to come handle the paperwork.”
Rachel’s mind spun.
Livia was always gentle and reserved, never one to stir up trouble or get involved in conflicts.
How could she have possibly been a bad influence on others?
From what she knew, her daughter always sat at the back of the classroom. The students in the front were the children of the parent committee members.
Those who didn’t contribute money to the homeroom teacher were placed in the back rows.
Livia’s desk was all the way in the back, right next to the trash can.
How could she have affected anyone in such a negative way?
What was worse, based on the way Sorena was speaking it seemed her daughter had made a serious error.
It sounded like it was severe enough that she could even be forced to transfer schools.
This was hard to accept, especially since Southstone No 1 High School had the highest success rate for sending students to top universities.
If Livia was transferred, it could ruin her chances of attending one of the top universities.
In a panic, Rachel rushed out into the rain, forgetting her umbrella and even losing a shoe in the process.
As she made her way to the school, Robin and Elliott had arrived in the slums, searching for Rachel. Not finding her there, they quickly headed toward Southstone No. 1 High School.
Chapter 629 People Like You from the Lower Class.
The hallway outside the junior year office at Southstone No. 1 High School in the provincial capital was eerily quiet. A stylish woman, exuding elegance, was handing a bank card to Sorena, the class teacher.
Sorena wore a fake smile plastered across her face, her expression dripping with praise and flattery.
She pretended to hesitate, but her fingers tightly clutched the card as she grinned like a dog getting a treat.
“Mrs. Yard, I really can’t accept this. You already gave me 100,000 last time, and I still haven’t spent it all,” Sorena said, pretending to act modest.
The woman waved her hand dismissively. “Take it. Ms. Craven. You do so much for the students in your class. This is nothing compared to what you deserve! You’re an educator–an architect of young minds. Your efforts are priceless!
“I’ve always admired teachers, and I truly respect the profession,” she continued. “Yelena always speaks so highly of you. She listens to you like she never listens to me.
“Yelena even wants you to be her godmother, Ms. Craven.
Sorena chuckled loudly, shaking with amusement. “Oh, Mrs. Yard, I could never be Yelena’s godmother. That girl is destined for greatness!”
The woman was July Yard, the mother of Yelena, who was in the same class as Rachel’s daughter. Livia
“Ms. Craven,” July said with a sweet smile, “thank you for always looking out for Yelena. We have plenty of cards like this at home, so please, take it. It’s no trouble at all
はい!
“Ms. Craven… “At that moment, Rachel arrived, spotting July handing the bank card to Sorena.
She had rushed so quickly that she had lost a shoe and was now standing barefoot in the hallway.
Rachel paused, unsure whether to step forward or retreat, watching as Sorena accepted the card from July Noticing Rachel standing awkwardly, Sorena quickly hid the card in her hand.
“Mrs. Graham, what took you so long to arrive? It’s a big offense to waste someone else’s time!” Sorena scolded sharply.
Rachel forced a smile, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Ms. Craven…”
It was only then that Sorena noticed Rachel’s bare foot and the fact that she was drenched from the rain.
Her expression turned to one of surprise. “Mrs. Graham, did you just get back from fishing? How could you show up to school looking like this? One shoe, soaked clothes… Are you not embarrassed? You’re an adult: act like it!
“Stay here and dry off first, then we’ll talk”
Sorena gave Rachel a dismissive glance before turning back to July. “Not every parent can be as composed and refined as you, Mrs. Yard,” she said with a smirk.

Rachel quickly tried to explain, I’m sorry, Ms. Craven. I was so nervous when I heard your call, and this happened. Is there something wrong with Livia?”
Sorena scoffed. “Just wait. Dry yourself off first, then we can have a chat.
“You can wait outside until I’m ready. Don’t dirty up my office.”
Turning to July, Sorena added, “Mrs. Yard, please go into my office and relax for a moment. I’ve prepared tea and snacks for you.”
July looked Rachel up and down, sneering. “Oh, you’re Livia’s mom? No wonder Yelena dislikes Livia. With a parent like you, it’s no surprise your child is so troublesome!
“Yelena is in the same class as Livia, and it’s truly embarrassing. If I had known, I would have kept her our of this class. With a family like yours, it’s no wonder our social status is being dragged down. If I told my friends about this, I’d be mortified!
Rachel was left confused. “What’s your problem with my family? Maybe we’re not as wealthy as yours, but you don’t get to insult my child! What has she done to lower your standing?”
July laughed mockingly. “I’ll insult your child however want! With a family like yours, your child won’t amount to anything good when she grows up.”
Normally, Rachel wouldn’t engage in such arguments, but when it came to her daughter, she couldn’t hold
back
When she heard someone speaking so ill about her daughter, she became like a defensive hen, all riled up.
Her eyes flared with anger as she pointed at July. “I warned you. Don’t speak about my Livia again. I won’t stand for it
Startled by Rachel’s fierce glare, July took a step back. Fine, fine. I won’t argue with you. I don’t even want, to waste my time with people like you from the lower class!”
Sorena shot Rachel a cold look, snapping. This is a school, a place of learning. Don’t make a scene here!”
Sorena then turned to walk toward the office with July.
July muttered under her breath, “My child can’t be in the same class as someone tied to criminals. It would ruin her reputation!”
Sorena nodded vigorously, like an eager child. “Yes, yes, Mrs. Yard, you’re absolutely right! Don’t waste your They’ll do anything!”
breath on these lowlif
Once they entered the office, Sorena resumed her sycophantic behavior.
“Mrs. Yard, I apologize for the mess. It’s not as immaculate as your house.”
As she spoke, Sorena frantically patted dust off the sofa, still feeling guilty about how it looked. She even blew on the cushions to make sure they were spotless.
After some effort, she seemed satisfied. “Mrs. Yard, it’s clean now. Please, have a seat. I’ll make you a cup of tea. I got the teabags just this morning, especially for you.

Sorena hurried to grab the yogurt and set out pastries. Soon, the coffee table was filled with a variety of snacks and drinks.
July sat back, watching Sorena scurrying about, clearly pleased with herself.
“Alright, Ms. Craven, you take care of things. That disgusting parent is still outside. Get rid of her and her daughter as soon as possible.
“Having a child like that in your class makes me uncomfortable. Just think about it–her uncle is a gang leader. Having her in the same class as my daughter is a bad omen.”
Sorena stood before July, nodding respectfully. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Yard. I’ll make her sign the papers and leave right away.
“T’ll take care of it right now, I’m just as worried about my reputation. So wait here for a bit. I’ll just take a while.

Sorena quickly exited the office and stepped into the hallway, her warm smile from earlier fading into at cold expressIDIL
She inhaled deeply, visibly angry.
If the school wasn’t filled with students, she might have let her temper flare.
“Mrs. Graham, just look at the time! How could it take you 20 minutes to get from that rundown place of yours to the school? Couldn’t you afford a cab? Oh, wait, I forgot, you can’t even afford one,” Sorena mocked, her gaze drifting to Rachel’s bare feet.
Did you run here? Impressive. A family like yours, struggling to get by, and you still think you can send your child to a top school like Southstone No. 1 High School?”
Rachel was stunned.
She had never expected Sorena, of all people, to speak with such venom.
“Ms. Craven, if you’re asking how my child got into such a good school. I’ll tell you–Livia entered Southstone No. 1 High School as the top student in the entire district.
“Unlike some students who get in through connections or by exploiting the system.”
Sorena’s face reddened with anger. “What did you just say? This school is one of the best. Which student could simply buy their way in?
“Your child might have been top–ranked, but I still suspect she might’ve cheated to get that score!
“I didn’t ask you to bring up irrelevant topics. The reason I called you here is to discuss Livia’s transfer paperwork! I won’t tolerate children like hers in my class!”
“Why, Ms. Craven?” Rachel asked, bewildered.
“As far as I know, my child has always been at the top of your class and never dropped out of the top three in the entire school. What could possibly justify forcing her to transfer?”
“You’re asking for justification?” Sorena scoffed. “I teach the best class in the grade–everyone is aiming for. Brighton University. I have the right to choose the kind of students I want. That’s reason enought
“Your child doesn’t belong in my class, and certainly not at our school. Get her out!”
Rachel clenched her fists, trying to keep her emotions under control. “Ms. Craven, can you please explain what my child has done to make you so intolerant of her?”
Sorena’s lips curled into a mockery of a smile. “Your daughter has caused major disruption in the class, completely upsetting the harmony between the students and interfering with the normal flow of lessons. I’ve already spoken to the principal, and he’s fully on board with my decision.
“Now, take your child and leave. I’ll go get the paperwork. And don’t even think about stepping into my office looking like that.

“You’re covered in dirt, and I don’t want you making a mess in my space. Stay here while I get the forms.
The
principal, out of pity, has already set up a spot for your child at a less prestigious school. You can head there and enroll directly
Rachel’s anger boiled inside her, but she swallowed it down for the sake of her child.
“Ms. Craven, if you’re determined to transfer my child, fine. But you owe me an explanation. How exactly did she disrupt your class?”
“How has she disturbed it?” Sorena rolled her eyes.
“Let me explain, July, the lady earlier, her daughter’s Yelena, who was once a respected class leader. But your daughter, Livia, sits alone in the back, working hard and avoiding interactions. And yet, she’s still the top student.
“The other students started flocking to her for help, asking her to tutor them. Within two weeks of the semester, she became the center of attention. Doesn’t that seem strange?
“A family like yours, barely scraping by–how could your child possibly have so many classmates gravitating toward her?
Yelena tried to treat the students to meals, but no one was interested. She came to me crying, upset that everyone was so nice to Livia and even brought her snacks.
“Livia’s poor character has disrupted Yelena’s position as the class leader!
“When it came time for the election of new class leaders, everyone but Yelena voted for Livia to be on the committee. Yelena wanted the position but didn’t get it. What does that tell you? It means your child is interfering with Yelena’s development. A child like that has no place in my class!”
Rachel was taken aback. “Ms. Craven, I don’t understand. How is my child interfering with Yelena? She always sits quietly in the back of the class, and I told her not to talk so she wouldn’t disturb anyone.”
Sorena nodded, as if her reasoning were flawless. “Yes, Livia stays in the back, silent and studious, but still. the other students flock to her. They ask her for academic help, but won’t even chat with Yelena about things like clothes or beauty tips.
“Yelena has cried several times about it. The other students just don’t want to engage with her
Rachel let out a sarcastic laugh. “Ms. Craven, to be honest, most students care more about getting into a good college than talking about food, fashion, or beauty. If they don’t engage in those shallow conversations with Yelena, who can we really blame?”
Sorena sneered. “Of course, your child is to be blamed! Why does she have to be so good at studying?
Rachel suddenly understood the underlying issue. “So, Ms. Craven, what you’re really saying is that because my daughter helped her classmates with their academics, she’s disrupted Yelena’s chance to engage in trivial conversations?”
“Exactly!” Sorena responded without hesitation.
“As long as Livia is in my class, Yelena can’t perform her role as class leader. Do you have any idea how much trouble Yelena’s parents are causing me over this

Chapter 630 Make Such Ridiculous Accusations
Rachel raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Craven, is being good school really a crime? Isn’t Southstone No. 1 He School supposed to be about preparing students for college
“My child does well academically, and now you’re accusing her of ruining Yelena’s opportunity? I just don’t get it. Yelena’s lack of likability is not my daughter’s fat, and this whole situation seems comp unreasonable.”
Sorena chuckled mockingly. “Let me make something dear–we don’t care about grades here. We care about character. Livia is selfish, focusing only on her own grades and neglecting the class unity. A chid She that is not welcome in my class.”
Rachel’s anger bubbled over. “Ms. Craven, I never expected you, as a teacher, to make such ridiculous
accusations!
“Is this just baseless gossip? Or is it because I didn’t offer you a bank card-”
Sorena’s sharp slap landed across Rachel’s face.
At that moment, Robin and Elliott, who had been walking up the stairs, froze in shock at the scene
“Excuse me, where is Livia’s class?”
