Flint’s statement gripped the room like an icy wind, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
He wasn’t just anyone–he had once been Young Lord Dragon’s closest and most capable lieutenant.
More than that, he was infamous as the most fearsome member of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul.
His words weren’t there bluster.
If Flint ever chose to unleash his full power, he could casily level the entire city of Brighton.
Skylar opened his mouth, clearly itching to respond, but then hesitated. The weight of Flint’s reputation was enough to make him think twice.
He shut his mouth again, his defiance swallowed by caution.
Rhett’s eyes shifted to Marge, who sat on the floor, trembling and weeping.
With a slight bow, he addressed her gently, “You’re Marge Suarez, the maid who served Madam Suzanne. aren’t you?
Marge lifted her tear–streaked face, slowly rising to her feet. Her voice quivered with respect as she replied, “Yes, Your Grace. I served Madam Suzanne as her maid
“My lady suffered greatly. She devoted her life to raising Young Lord Dragon’s daughter, all while waiting -hoping–for the day Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon might return.
“She waited for twenty long years!

Rhett gave a slow, measured nod.
His voice was steady but tinged with sadness. “Ms. Suarez, you’ve endured more than anyone should.”
He turned his attention to Renee’s lifeless body, lying still and serene. His face fell as he studied her, grief pulling at his expression.
Renee’s beauty was striking, a near–perfect reflection of Madam Suzanne’s.
Had the circumstances been different, one might have mistaken her for Suzanne herself.
Lorelei had spent two decades hiding in Brighton, raising Renee in secret after the fall of Dragon Manor.
That they had managed to stay undetected all these years was nothing short of a miracle.
The sacrifices the sisters had made for Young Lord Dragon’s family humbled Rhett deeply,
It was a testament to gratitude. It was a demonstration of loyalty. It was a kind of devotion so rare it felt

Rhett straightened, his expression firm. “Ms. Suarez, I will make this right for you.”
He turned his gaze toward Robin. For a brief moment, Rhett froze.

Robin’s appearance brought a wave of déjà vu crashing over him. He could have sworn he was looking at the Young Lord Dragon from two decades ago.
The vision dissolved as quickly as it had come, and Rhett blinked, pulling himself back to the present. Those days, once alive with meaning, had become nothing more than stories of the past. Everything from that time was gone/
Taking a deep breath, Rhett spoke again, his tone calm and resolute. “General Ramsey, I ask for some time to address this matter. Can you grant me that?”
“Alright,” Robin said, settling into the chair with an air of finality.
“But let me make one thing clear. Whatever decision you make about today’s events, Kieran must die. Len must die. Rhea must die. And the entire Fiori family must be destroyed.”
His voice hardened as he continued. If not, I will make sure the world understands that anyone who dares to harm my family will face the dragon dagger–and they will die.”
Robin’s gaze shifted to Idris, the silent Dragon Guard nearby. “General Hull, in ten minutes, no matter the situation, ensure the Fiori family is eliminated.”
“Yes, sir!” Idris responded, standing at rigid attention.
The room reacted in unison. The six lords present rose to their feet, their movements sharp and deliberate, their eyes locked on Robin.
For a fleeting moment, they were transported back to another time. It was as if Young Lord Dragon himself had returned, standing before them with the same indomitable force.
But the moment dissolved like a fading echo.
Reality crept in, stark and undeniable. The past was just that–the
past.
Nigel broke the silence with a dry chuckle, shaking his head as he sank back into his chair.
The other lords followed, their expressions tinged with disappointment, their thoughts lost in unspoken.

Meanwhile, Skylar had crumpled to his knees. His face pale, he trembled before finally mustering the courage to crawl toward Rhett.
“Your Grace!” he cried, his voice trembling with anger. Did you hear him? That maniac is out of control! He’s nothing but a monster-
“Skylar, enough!” Rhett interrupted, his voice firm and commanding. “I told you, the Fioris will face justice.”
Kieran, who had been glaring at Rhett with tear–filled eyes, burst out.
“Grandpa, how can you let him sit there after what he’s done to me? Order Mr. Josington to take care of him now-

“Kieran!” Rhett’s voice cut through the room like a whip. “Silence! There is no Grandpa‘ here. Only Lord
Southmere!”
He turned to his adjutant. “Mr. Josington, if anyone dares to interrupt me while I’m handling this matter, shoot them without hesitation.”
“Understood, my lord.” Josington drew his weapon, the metallic click of the safety disengaging slicing through the oppressive quiet,
The room fell utterly silent. The sound of every breathy seemed magnified, hanging in the still air.
Rhett glanced at his watch. “Mr. Josington, bring in Karen, Matilda, and Rhea,
He had already ensured that everyone involved in the day’s events had been detained by his guards. The investigation had left no stone unturned.
Moments later, two guards entered, escorting Karen, Matilda, and Rhea into the room.
“Kneel,” Josington ordered, forcing them to the ground with a single push.
Karen and Matilda’s hoods were removed, and as they took in their surroundings, terror spread across
their faces.
Rhea sat with her head bowed, her disheveled hair obscuring her face.
She showed no sign of fear or defiance, only an emptiness that seemed to consume her entirely.
Through the veil of her disheveled hair, Rhea caught fleeting glimpses of the room. Generals stood firm. flanked by rows of armed guards. The sheer gravity of their presence made her stomach churn.
It felt like a prelude to disaster.
Her gaze shifted to Len and Kieran.
Both knelt awkwardly, their limbs grotesquely twisted and useless.
Not far from them, Burt, Kieran’s father, mirrored their position. His face was battered and swollen, his expression vacant as he awaited Lord Southmere’s verdict.
“Mr. Kieran, help me…” Rhea murmured, her voice barely audible.
But Kieran didn’t move. He knew speaking out of turn would seal his fate. Lord Southmere’s courtroom was no place for defiance. The silence that followed was suffocating, as though the room itself held its breath.
“Enough!” Mr. Josington’s shout broke the stillness. His hand cracked across Rhea’s face, leaving her stunned.
He straightened and addressed the trio, his tone cutting “Look up! When the lord speaks, you will answer. No lies, no excuses!
He fixed his gaze on Karen. “Who’s idea was it to lure Brenda out of school? Choose your words wisely, girl. One misstep, and you’ll regret it.”
Karen’s voice trembled as she rushed to reply. “It was Matilda! She told me to go with her.”

“She said Rhea promised her 15 grand if we could get Brenda into the car parked outside the school.”
Josington narrowed his eyes. “Did you receive the money?”
Karen nodded hesitantly. “We got it just before…
“What happened next?” Josington demanded, his stare unrelenting.
Karen faltered, her fear palpable. “We don’t know… after that, we didn’t see anything else.”
Josington turned to Matilda, his voice sharp. “And why did Rhea want Brenda? Speak up, Matilda!”
Matilda broke down, tears streaming as she answered, “She told us. Rhea said Mr. Kieran and Mr. Jeb liked Brenda. She said they planned to… take her and Joanna to a room tonight.”
Her voice shook as she continued, each word heavier than the last. “They were going to take pictures of them in compromising positions.”
Josington’s face remained cold. “And then?”
Matilda sobbed harder. “Then Rhea said she’d post the photos online. She wanted to ruin them both- Brenda and Joanna–for good.
“She said she’d tell everyone it was Robin who made them do it. That it was all for money.
“She wanted to destroy him,” Matilda whispered, her voice breaking. “She wanted him ruined forever.”

The nobles, all from the third generation of their families, sat frozen, the weight of Karen and Matilda’s confessions hanging heavy in the room.
Rhea, an insignificant figure with no resources or survival skills to speak of, had dared to set her sights on Robin–a man infamous for his ruthlessness and

What kind of sheer ignorance did it take to imagine such a dangerous and foolhardy plan?
Robin’s influence, even in the open, was untouchable. Yet Rhea had dared to plot against him, to harm his family and challenge someone feared for the destruction he left in his wake.
It wasn’t just reckless. It was self–destructive.
The lords exchanged glances, shaking their heads, as if silently asking each other the same question: How could anyone be so foolish?
It was plain to them that these girls lacked any understanding of respect–or fear.
Without that, it was no wonder they’d ventured into something so vile and senseless.
Mr. Josington stepped forward, his hand gripping Rhea’s hair. He forced her head up, making her meet his eyes before turning her gaze toward Karen and Matilda.
“Is their story true?” he demanded.
Rhea’s face was streaked with tears, her voice shaking as she confessed. “Yes, it’s true. But Len, Kieran, and Karina told me it would be fine. They said Kieran had the support of a lord-”
“Enough!” Lord Southmere’s voice cut through the air, his command absolute.
“Execute Karen and Matilda first,” he ordered, his tone leaving no room for debate.
Karen and Matilda’s faces went pale, their bodies stiff with shock.
They hadn’t thought that a few careless actions, done in the service of Rhea, would lead to this.
Before they could utter a word of protest, two of Southmere’s guards stepped forward, their pistols drawn.
The shots echoed sharply, and with that, Karen and Matilda collapsed, lifeless.
They had no time to grasp the lesson that their deaths delivered–a stark truth that accomplices, even more than the schemers themselves, bear the weight of guilt.
Both had known Rhea’s plans were twisted, yet they had chosen to assist her, feeding her malice.
In the end, who else but them deserved to pay the price?
Rhea froze, her wide eyes fixed on the lifeless forms of Karen and Matilda. The scene before her was a nightmare brought to life, and her body betrayed her completely.

Lord Southmere stood nearby, his presence overpowering. Though his age showed in his lined face, he was no less terrifying–like a predator ready to pounce
His cold gaze secuned to strip away any pretense of courage she might have had.
Collapsing to her knees, Rhea cried out, her voice breaking. “Please, my lord! Have mercy! I’ll do anything!”
But Rhett remained impassive, his face unreadable, his eyes fixed on a distant point in the room. He neither acknowledged her words nor showed any sign of forgiveness.
Skylar, standing silently at the edge of the scene, shifted uneasily. A shadow of concern passed over his face, though he quickly masked it. After a brief hesitation, he signaled to one of the Fioris guards.
The guard, as if anticipating this, slipped out of the room without making a sound.
In her desperation, Rhea scrambled to speak, her words tumbling out in a frantic rush. It wasn’t my idea! Len and Kieran–they forced me into it! They wanted Brenda and Joanna! I only helped a little, I swear! I didn’t do anything else!”
Rhett finally stirred, raising one hand in a sharp motion. “Show her,” he commanded, his tone cold and final.
At once, Mr. Josington moved to a nearby console. The screen on the wall came to life, playing a series of recordings.
The room watched in silence as the footage displayed Rhea’s actions.
Every scene exposed her inescapable guilt–her goading of Kieran and Len, her meticulous involvement in their sinister plans, and her callous exploitation of Brenda for humiliating photographs.
The tension in the room grew palpable. Each face reflected anger and disgust as the evidence stacked up A few clenched their fists, their restraint visibly thinning.
When the screen went dark, Rhett’s voice broke the heavy silence. “You came from nothing, didn’t you?”
Rhea blinked, startled by the sudden question.
“You were fortunate, Rhett continued, his tone sharp. “Someone gave you a chance. They saw promise in
and helped you rise above your circumstances.”
He stepped closer, his gaze piercing. “You should have seized that opportunity. You should have worked hard, studied, and shown gratitude for the kindness you were given.
“But instead,” his voice darkened, “you spat on their generosity. You became something vile a parasite, feeding on others and showing nothing in return.”
Rhett’s voice grew colder with each word. “Even that could have been overlooked. But you chose to harm. You preyed on others, and for what? Your heart is as black as coal.”
He straightened, his presence looming over the room.
I’ve never believed that someone so twisted can change. People like you–people who repay kindness with betrayal–don’t deserve a place in this world.”

“Killing you with a gun would be too kind.” He turned to Josington. “Bring me my sword. I’ll take care of this fills myself.
Rhea froze in place, paralyzed by fear, She knew pleading with Lord Southmere was a wasted effort.
She crawled toward Robin, her voice desperate and shaking.
Robin, please, we were classmates. Don’t do this. I swear I’ll never make the same mistake again!”
Tears streamed down her face as she continued, her voice barely a whisper. “You’ve seen what they did to me. Surely, your anger has faded. Please, let me go.
Robin gestured to Joanna’s lifeless body. “If you can bring her back to life, I’ll consider sparing you. Can you do that?”
Rhea’s eyes widened, disbelief flooding her face. “She’s dead! How am I supposed to bring her back?!”
“Then there’s nothing left to talk about, Robin said coldly. With one swift motion, he kicked Rhea aside. “You’ve earned your fate, you vile woman.
Mr. Josington stepped forward, drawing Lord Southmere’s battle sword and holding it out in front of him.
Without a second thought, Rhett took the sword and swung it, cutting through Rhea’s body with one clean
strike.
The room fell into a chilling silence. The only sound was the drip of blood hitting the floor.
Burt, Kieran, and Len were frozen, trembling, unable to look away.
Skylar stood still, his mind racing. He had followed Lord Southmere for years, and in all that time, he had never seen him waver. Rhett had promised to repay a debt, but something about this felt wrong.
After the deed was done, Rhett walked slowly back to his seat, the bloodied sword still in his hand.
As he passed Skylar, he glanced at him and casually asked, “Skylar, how does my strike compare to the one I made years ago?”
Skylar hesitated, his words caught in his throat. “My lord. I…”
Before he could finish, Rhett gave a bitter smile. “I’m getting old.”
But his face soon darkened, and his voice turned cold. I’ve never forgotten the purpose of this sword. It’s meant for those who are wicked, those who are heartless, those who forget where they came from.”
He tossed the sword back to Mr. Josington.
Rhett then turned his attention to Kieran, still lying motionless on the floor. “Kieran, seeing you like this breaks my heart.”
His eyes softened as he remembered the past. “When you were born, I felt such wonder. Another new life In the family.”
His voice hardened with regret. “But now look at you. Your actions have led to this. And your father has a

Khen’s voice filled with regret. “When I had nothing, when I was starving, Dragon Lord gave me food, gave me a chance, and gave me everything I have now.”
He continued, his voice tight with anger. “All my honor all the glory of the Shaw family, everything we have today–it’s all thanks to Dragon Lord.”
He looked down at Kieran with a hardened expression. And now, because of your actions, Dragon Lord’s granddaughter, Renee, is dead. You must pay for that.”
His gaze turned even colder. “Your father will be locked away for life.”
He shook his head, almost in disbelief. “But even that won’t repay Dragon Lord’s kindness to the Shaw family

Mr. Josington paused briefly before handing the gun to Rhett with both hands.
Eithan, wide–eyed with disbelief, quickly spoke up. “Grandpa, Kieran has already suffered. Please, show him mercy, just this once.”
Kimberly, equally anxious, grabbed Rhett’s arm. ‘Grandpa, if you can’t forgive him, at least lock him up for life. Or…
Rhett gently pulled away their hands from his arm.
“Eithan, Kimberly, I’ve already told you,” he said firmly In life, death isn’t the worst outcome. If you’re truly human, you must face both life and death without fear.
“When it’s time to take responsibility, being afraid of death makes you less than an animal.
“If you fail to show respect and commit an unforgivable crime, then your life must be the price.
“I swore, the day I followed Dragon Lord into battle, that the Shaws would rather die than live as cowards, afraid to face the consequences of their actions.
“Kieran has crossed a line. He must pay with his life.
“His father has failed him, and he must be imprisoned for life.
“I, too, will take responsibility for this.
“You all need to pay attention. Remember this moment of pain. Carry it with you.
To be human is to stand tall, to bear your responsibilities. If you can’t do that, then you aren’t truly

Ryder’s lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent.
Burt, realizing the seriousness of the situation, begged. Dad, please. Spare Kieran. I promise I’ll make sure he’s taught properly from now on.”
Rhett snorted. “There’s no such thing as changing for the better. That’s just something people tell the weak to keep them quict.
“You can’t afford to make mistakes. When you do, you pay for them.
“Kieran is where he is because of you. I failed as a father and that’s my greatest regret. It’s my responsibility.
“You can’t promise anything about the past or the present, so why bother with the future? People who say that are just looking for excuses, trying to avoid the responsibility they should be facing right now.”
Burt’s panic grew. He knew his father’s stubbornness too well.
Once Rhett made up his mind, there was no changing it
His only hope now was to appeal to the other lords, hoping one of them would speak up for Kieran.

He turned and crawled toward Robin. “General Ramsey Kieran is blind, he’s an idiot! Please, have mercy on him. Spare him…
Robin scoffed, “Don’t beg me. I don’t forgive,”
“General Ramsey, I’ll make it right. I’ll provide all the compensation you want…
Before Burt could finish, the sharp crack of a gunshot cut through the air.
Kieran’s skull was torn open by a violent bullet, blood spilling onto the floor.
The room fell into stunned silence, the screams of horror fading into an eerie stillness.
The younger members of the royal family stood frozen, staring at Kieran’s lifeless body, visibly shaken.
Kieran, the Southmere Scoundrel, had met his end at the hands of his own grandfather.
Burt’s mournful cries echoed through the room, his voice breaking.
Lord Southmere stood over his grandson’s body, his gaze cold. His body trembled, but he didn’t flinch. He turned slowly, as if in a daze.
He handed the smoking gun to Mr. Josington, then raised his arm without a word.
Four of Lord Southmere’s guards stepped forward, removing Kieran’s body and Burt from the room.
The onlookers watched as the lord’s figure retreated. In that moment, it seemed as though he had aged years before their eyes.
Jayden watched his old friend, whom he had often clashed with over the years. His lips twitched, but no words of comfort came.
Skylar, still in shock, took a long time to process what had just happened. Kieran was dead.
Rhett had spent the day carrying out executions.
Would he be next? Was he, along with the Fioris, the next target?
Skylar shook himself from his thoughts and quickly tuned to Rhett. “My lord, how could own grandson?
“Kieran may have done terrible things, but he was still your flesh and blood.

Skylar, confused, pressed on. “My lord, with everything you’ve achieved, what is it that you can’t do?”
“Skylar, we haven’t worked together for years. It seems we’ve grown apart in how we see things.
Tve never cared about those pardons.
“Even without one, if I wanted to protect my grandson, no one could have touched him.
“But I could never commit such an unforgivable act!
Tve always lived with honor. I would never stoop to pety, deceitful tactics.
“Kieran’s actions were punishable by death–what’s this nonsense about pardons?”
“But my lord, he’s only in his twenties. Yes, he had the motive, but he didn’t go through with the crime. Renee … she ended her own life!
“Enough!” Rhett’s expression darkened as he turned toward Skylar.
“Skylar, I need to ask you something. Why did you leave your hometown?”
Skylar hesitated, “My lord, you know why. I left because, in a fit of rage. I killed my enemy
“Why did you kill him? Tell me, now!” Rhett’s voice was sharp.
Skylar’s hands trembled. “My lord, my sister was harmed by the son of a wealthy landowner. In my anger, I killed him. I had no choice but to run.
“At the time, I had nowhere to turn. It was you, my lord, who saved me.
“After hearing my story, you chased off the thugs and corrupt cops who were after me. You gave me a chance at life.”
Rhett nodded slowly. “Skylar, you remember that?”
“My lord, how could I forget? That pain has stayed with me all these years.
“The landowner ruined my family. I’ll never forget it.”
Rhett sneered. “Skylar, you’ve forgotten everything. Drogo, Kieran, your daughter, and Len–what’s the difference between them and the landowner’s son who hurt your sister?
“Tell me, should they be killed, then?”
Skylar was taken aback. “My lord, we’re not like those landowners. They were the ones who exploited and oppressed people like us.
“But we… we fought for the people, for something better.

Rhett stood frozen for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh.
His eyes, worn and tired from years of hardship, burned now with a sharp, unyielding coldness.
“A small man seeks power for his own gain, he said, his voice low.
“A true man fights for something greater, driven by honor and faith.
“The son of a rich landowner who kills and destroys–be is beyond saving, Or that’s what you said.
“But what about us? What about our people? The ones who oppress, who exploit? Should they get a free pass? That was the thing you asked.
“What kind of logic is that?
“A royal pardon is nothing but useless garbage!
“The only thing that truly endures is a cause fought for the greater good!
“I followed the Dragon Lord to claim this land for one reason–to create a place where all are equal.
“Now you come here, talking to me about special privileges. If that’s supposed to be an insult, you did a mighty fine job.
“I am a proud lord of Draconia, and I will never stoop to such dishonorable acts!”
Rhett’s words echoed in the room, loud and heavy, like the toll of a bell.
In the stillness that followed, every heart seemed to quiver.
The sound, the feeling–it was something forgotten, something distant.
If the old general, nearing the end of his years, hadn’t spoken with such raw emotion, no one would have remembered.
Forgotten would be the soldiers who fought and died, one by one, in the heat of battle.
They had left behind families, homes, and everything they knew–fighting for a future of justice, fairness, and equality for all.
Not to protect the selfish whims of a few!
But time changes everything.
Those noble ideals, once strong and clear, have faded.
Now, only a few fractured mountains stand against the storm.

To forget was to fall into an irreversible abyss,
Only by keeping one’s promises could one stand tall like a mountain, admired by all.
Skylar blinked, as if waking from a dizzying, distorted dream.
He lifted his eyes to Lord Southmere, Lord Westeria Lord Northlorn, Lord Pittman, Lord Southville, Lord. Centara, and Lord Quintana–all pillars of Draconia. He swallowed hard.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice trembling, “My lord, I was your head of guards. I took two bullets for you. I’ve earned my place through battle.
“What I’m saying is, if our descendants make a mistake, I can compensate. Just forgive us this once, and I promise next time-
“Enough!” Rhett’s voice thundered, cutting him off. “What’s money? You can’t take it with you when you
die!
“General Ramsey doesn’t want compensation. He wants justice. He wants what’s right!
“Skylar, if that’s what you truly think, then you’re no better than a landowner!
The people who helped you get here didn’t do it so you could become another corrupt landowner. They did it for fairness, for justice!
“Now that you have some money and status, you think you can kill without consequence? That’s the logic of a thief!”
Skylar’s eyes flashed with something dark. “My lord, if we follow your reasoning, then the Fioris-”
Lord Southmere snorted. “The Fioris must all die. For the Dragon Lord’s sake!”
Skylar stumbled back, horror in his eyes. “My lord, you always talk about loyalty, about promises. Don’t you owe me a life in exchange for sparing the Fioris?”
Rhett nodded slowly. “Skylar, I once felt some pity for you, But now, our bond is over.
“Don’t worry, I never owe anyone anything. If I promised you an explanation. Ell give it.

As Mr. Josington placed the pistol into Lord Southmeres hand, Skylar quickly drew his own gun and pointed it at Lord Southmere.

Rhett’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. “Skylar, I’ve already given you what I owed you. I expect you to take responsibility, to stand up like a man. Don’t let our descendants curse us for what we’ve done.”
“No!” Skylar shouted, his voice filled with fury. “My life is mine, not some fate’s to control! Just because you helped me once doesn’t mean I’ll let you drag me to my death!

“My lord!” Lord Southmere’s guards burst into the room.
Rhett raised a hand. “Mr. Josington, tell them to leave at once.”
Mr. Josington’s eyes were wet with tears. “My lord, the men have followed you for so long. They want to be with you in your last moments.
Rhett’s sigh was heavy. “Listen, you’re not holding guns for me. You hold them because it’s your duty as soldiers.
“This nation was bought with blood. I won’t let you ruin it. Now, leave.”
The guards stood in perfect formation, saluting once before marching out of the room, standing at attention outside the villa.
Robin stepped toward Lord Southmere.
Mr. Josington’s hand went instinctively to his sidearm.
Robin’s eyes met Rhett’s, a silent understanding passing between them.
Rhett gave a small nod. “General Ramsey, don’t bother. With wounds like mine, I’m beyond help.
“But at least take comfort in knowing I’ve given you and the world what they deserve. This is where it ends

Robin’s face was unreadable. “Don’t speak. The more you say, the quicker you’ll die.”

Eithan immediately blocked his path. “Stop! If you lay linger on my grandfather, I swear I’ll fight you to the death.”
Robin’s hand halted in midair. “Do you want him to die faster? Step aside.”
Nigel took a step forward. “Eithan, don’t be foolish! General Ramsey is only trying to assess your grandfather’s injuries.
“There’s no one in all of Draconia with better medical skills. Even Wilder learned from him.”
Jayden moved closer and gently tapped Eithan on the shoulder. “Eithan, move aside.”
Robin moved swiftly, pressing on several key points on Rhett’s body to stop the blood pouring from his
wounds.
“Three bullets have pierced his heart. It’s shattered. One major artery is severed. There’s no saving him.
“His body won’t last more than two hours.”
Rhett let out a soft laugh. “If I can finish this one last task, then I’ll be at peace.”
Kimberly shot a furious glare at Robin. “Weren’t you supposed to be some miracle doctor? What a joke! Why couldn’t you save my grandfather? Or Renee and the others? You’re nothing but a fake!”
Robin gave her a brief glance but said nothing.
He checked his watch, then turned toward Renec.

Jayden leaned in close to Robin, his voice barely audible. “General Ramsey, are you sure there’s no hope

Robin looked at Marge and Renee, then nodded.
Jayden stood still for a moment, his face twisted in disbelief.
Then, shaking his head, he walked over to Lord Southmere and pointed at him, shouting. “Rhett, you old fool, you can’t die, do you hear me?
“Just a few days ago, you told me you uncovered a secret about that past incident, and you promised to tell

“You still haven’t told me anything! How can you just die like this?”
Rhett raised his hand weakly. “Jayden, my old friend, we’ve fought and argued our whole lives. But I know our bond has never changed.

Forty military vehicles raced toward the villa, each carrying soldiers from Draconia’s most formidable force, the Golden Dragon Guard.

Inside the second vehicle of the convoy, Levi and Jack sat, their faces tense but composed.
Jack quickly skimmed the message from Flint before speaking.
“General Monroe, two minutes ago, Lord Southmere was shot three times–two bullets hit his heart, and one severed a major artery. He’s in critical condition.”
Levi’s eyes widened at the news, though he quickly regained his composure.
Jack went on, “After killing Kieran, Rhett shot himself twice, trying to leave Skylar some explanation. The third shot came from Skylar himself.”
“The Dragon Guards have taken the entire Fioris family into custody.”
Levi sighed deeply. “Rhett, always the same.”
After a brief pause, he issued orders. “This situation could change at any moment. I want the Golden Dragon Guard to reach the villa’s perimeter immediately and secure it. We also need to keep an eye on the movements of the Seven Great Royal Houses.”
“If things go south, we’ll put the emergency plan into action.”
Upon
receiving the Golden Dragon Order, Misael of the Golden Dragon Guard gave swift commands.
His 300 soldiers, already stationed at the villa’s perimeter, moved to control all entry points.
With Lord Southmere’s guard still inside, the guards from the other six great royal houses were ordered to retreat nearly half a mile away awaiting further orders,
Levi and Jack had just reached the villa’s outer perimeter when Martin, Wilder, Shirley, Daphne, and Rita

“When Master Ramsey arrived, he sealed their acupoints and forced their energy to circulate. For now, they’re barely holding on.

“Master Ramsey said that with his condition, Rhett won’t last more than two hours.”
This is a mess. A bullet to the heart–no one could fix that,” Wilder said, frowning as he glanced at Southstar and Pythoncrown in Daphne and Rita’s hands. He shook his head. This is cruel… What a situation.”
Martin’s face was grim. “Southstar and Pythoncrown can only save two people.”
Levi remained expressionless as he pointed toward the villa. “Let’s go. We need to get these items to Master Ramsey, Let him decide what happens next.”
Shirley, Daphne, and Rita followed closely behind as they entered the villa.
The sight in front of them was shocking, sending a chill down Shirley’s spine.
On the way to Brighton, Shirley had learned more about Robin’s past from Martin.
She had never imagined Robin was one of the few survivors of the Dragon Manor massacre.
Worse still, he was the grandson of the powerful Dragon Lord.
It was an awful twist of fate. Just as Robin had finally found his long–lost sister, Rence, after 201 years, this catastrophe had struck.
Shirley had silently hoped, during their journey, that Southstar and Pythoncrown would work as the legends said.
That they could bring Renee and the kind–hearted Lorelei back.
She couldn’t bear to see Robin suffer.
In Shirley’s eyes, Robin was the man she admired, someone she looked up to like a mountain.
Since the day Robin had saved her, she had given her heart–once untouched–to him.

Though her feelings for him were like a fire burning inside her, Shirley didn’t dare interrupt his life..
How many times had she dreamt of walking hand in hand with him, through a world that somehow felt. familiar, yet strange?
The world felt distant, like a fading memory of a past life.
In that world, two people were in love, content with their lives. They worked side by side, always returning home together.
Often, when Shirley woke from her dreams, she felt as if what she had experienced was more than a dream. It felt real, like it had happened before.
She couldn’t understand why she kept dreaming these strange, vivid dreams.
The joy, warmth, and tenderness in them made her wish she could stay in the dream forever.
She found herself reluctant to leave the comfort of her bed these days.
Before even entering the room, Shirley noticed Robin from a distance.
He stood tall, but there was a heaviness in his posture, a sadness she hadn’t seen before.
Her chest tightened at the sight, a wave of sorrow and empathy washing over her.
She didn’t want to see the man she loved feeling so helpless, especially with the looming possibility of losing those he held dear.
She wished Robin could stay the way he had been when they first met–proud, untouchable, and defiant.
Even if she couldn’t always be by his side, she was content knowing that as long as he was happy, she could find happiness in loving him.
She rushed to follow Levi and the others into the room longing to run to Robin and share all the feelings. she had bottled up during their time apart.
But she stopped herself. Not now. She couldn’t interrupt him.
She needed Robin to use Southstar and Pythoncrown to save the two people closest to him.
Only then would he find the peace he deserved.
She couldn’t stand the thought of him in pain.
Shirley stayed where she was, standing quietly at the edge of the group, keeping her gaze on Robin from

Jack, Martin, and the others followed, standing tall behind Levi.
The six princes and everyone else in the room stared in surprise.
It was almost unbelievable: General Levi was standing behind Robin as if he were a low–ranking officer.
The group’s shock deepened when they saw a middle–aged man standing behind Levi.
This man wore the uniform of a lieutenant general from the Golden Dragon Guard.
He was Misael, the commander of Draconia’s most elite and secretive force–the Golden Dragon Guard.
Misael’s arrival, along with his guards, made one thing clear: the Golden Dragon Order had been issued.
As the group tried to make sense of it all. Levi and his companions performed a formal salute.

In that moment, the gem lit up with an ethereal glow. Holding it, Robin seemed to cradle the rising sun, its light spreading across the room.

Southstar.
It was a striking sea–blue gem, clear as crystal.

Whispers surrounded its mysterious power.

Anyone suffering from a long–term illness, no matter how severe, could recover fully just by carrying the gem for a while. It was said to even prolong life.
Those who had recently passed–if they could hold the gem within six hours–would return to life, gaining another thirty years to live.
This wasn’t just an old legend. It was real.
There were stories of dragons having nine offspring. One of them was known as Turtdragon.
It took ten thousand years for it to shed its shell and transform into a full–grown dragon.
Inside its shell were twenty–four ribs..
Each rib held a sapphire.
Each sapphire contained a powerful life force.
Southstar was the sixth of these sapphires..
Its worth was unimaginable.
The Rogarios ancestors had fought for decades to claim it, losing hundreds of lives in the process.
Though many saw it as just a story, the world held countless mysteries.
Those who didn’t have the means or the right to witness its truth believed it was just a tale.
Southstar–one of only twenty–four gems of its kind–was far too precious for ordinary hands to hold.
As everyone watched in awe, Robin held the priceless gem without hesitation. He stepped forward and gently placed it in Marge’s mouth.
The radiant glow that had filled the room faded instantly.
Eithan and Kimberly, once hopeful, now looked drained, their faces falling.
They knew Robin wouldn’t use the Southstar to save their grandfather.
But what they–and everyone else–hadn’t expected was that Robin would give the first chance at life to Marge.

Through the blur of her tears, she saw the unmistakable figure of Young Lord Dragon standing before her.
Robin’s actions, his words, and the smile on his face reminded Marge Suarez so much of Young Lord Dragon and Madam Suzanne..
Despite their noble status, neither the Young Lord Dragon nor Madam Suzanne had ever treated her and her sister as servants.
They had always been given the best of everything, first
Now, Robin was doing the same.
How could Marge not be moved?
The twin sisters had once been like two small plants, adrift with no roots, abandoned by their parents.
Yet, fate had allowed them to become Madam Suzannes personal attendants.
The Suarezes, and later the Ramseys, had always treated them as family.
Had it not been for the catastrophe at Dragon Manor, they would never have fallen into such a tragic. situation.
At this moment, Marge wanted nothing more.
Her only hope was that Master Ramsey could save her sister and Renee.
But when Southstar was placed in Lorelei’s mouth, nothing changed.
Lorelei’s face remained deathly pale, her heart still and silent.
There was no sign of life.
Time passed slowly.
The room felt heavy with grief and anticipation.
Five minutes passed, and Lorelei still showed no signs of change.
Then, unexpectedly, two small wisps of mist came from Lorelei’s nostrils. The gem in her mouth started. to shrink.
A sudden, loud cough echoed through the room, making everyone jump.
Robin’s eyes lit up. He saw Lorelei’s color begin to return, the faintest hint of life showing in her face.
Lorelei slowly opened her eyes. After a long moment, he looked at Robin. “Mr. Robin! Please, save Joanna
“Lorelei, you’re awake? You’re really awake!” Marge exclaimed, tears of joy streaming down her face. She rushed to Lorelei, wrapping her in a tight hug.

“Huh?” Lorelei was still disoriented, struggling to understand.
“Wilder, help Mrs. Lorelei with her pulse and circulation. If not, her blood might stagnate, and her meridians could become disturbed, Robin said, motioning for Wilder to attend to Lorelei.
He then picked up Pythoncrown and placed it into the highland spring water Rita had already prepared.
The Pythoncrown, as the story went, was an extraordinary and rare plant, said to thrive only with the venom of the mighty python king
Its rarity made it nearly impossible to find. When placed in water above 23 thousand feet, the plant would form into a crystal–clear drop.
This drop held incredible powers. When consumed, it could fortify the bones, cleanse the marrow, and expel any hidden ailments from the body. It was also said to extend life by over twenty years.
The most remarkable quality, however, was its ability to regenerate blood, healing the body’s entire internal system.
It could restore damaged organs and repair any internal or external injuries.
One drop of Pythoncrown was enough to set everything right.
This was the power that had made the herb so legendary.
It was a gift capable of restoring life itself.
Robin carefully placed the Pythoncrown in water. Within moments, it transformed into a small, crystalline droplet.
The drop was barely larger than a pea.
With careful hands. Robin lifted it, holding it delicately on his fingertip.
The air in the room grew cool, as though they had stepped into the shade of a tall tree.
It was refreshing, soothing.
Robin stood in the center of the room.
To his left was Lord Southmere Rhett, and to his right, his long–lost sister, Renee
Both needed this miraculous drop.
Everyone in the room watched him closely, their eyes fixed on the small, glowing drop in his hand.
The question hung in the air: who would he choose?
Robin had no doubt. The drop should go to his sister.

After a few moments of bitter stillness, she lifted her heal and looked at Ryder. “Dad…”
Ryder knew exactly what she was about to say. His voice dropped to a harsh whisper. “Kimberly, don’t

Kimberly’s gaze shifted to the rows of stern Golden Dragon Guard soldiers.
She understood that voicing her anger would only make things worse.
So, she gritted her teeth and shot a look of hatred at Robin and Renee.
Eithan, too, clenched his fists, his face dark with rage..
He understood that all the privileges he had enjoyed were thanks to Lord Southmere’s protection.
If his grandfather passed now, the Shaw family’s influence would fall apart.
As the eldest grandson of Lord Southmere, Eithan would lose everything.
Meanwhile, the younger generation of royals eyed Robin with a mix of uncertainty and judgment.
In this moment, no matter what Robin did, no one had the right to question his choice..
The Pythoncrown was his, and how he used it was entirely his decision.
Renee and Lord Southmere’s lives were slipping away before their eyes.
The room was heavy with the smell of blood, filled with a deep sense of despair.
Levi, Jack, Misael, and the six powerful royals stood stiffly, their faces set in grim determination.
The tension in the room was thick, almost choking.
Amid the silence, the only sound was the steady rhythm of Robin’s heavy steps,
Shirley stood on the edge of the group, watching Robin from afar.
Tears pooled in her eyes as she saw the man she loved, forn and determined.
She desperately wished for Renee to survive, but the sight of Robin’s pain was too much to bear.

“Please, hurry!”
With a heavy sigh, Robin knelt beside Rence..
“I’m sorry, Renee. Our family can’t act unjustly. I can’t give you this drop of Pythoncrown.
“Sir, why?!” Rita’s voice trembled with disbelief.
Robin lifted his finger.
The drop of Pythoncrown flew through the astonished faces surrounding him, almost like something out of a dream, and gently landed in Lord Southmere’s nostrils.
In that instant, every expression in the room froze in shock.
No one had expected Robin to give the only hope of survival to Lord Southmere.
Kimberly watched in stunned silence as the drop of life entered her grandfather’s nose.
For a moment, all her anger seemed to evaporate.
From the edge of the room, Shirley’s tears streamed down her face.
She shook her head, heartbroken, and turned toward the door.
Once the Pythoncrown entered Lord Southmere’s nostrils, a sudden sneeze echoed in the room.
His chest wound began to heal at an astonishing speed,
His face, once pale, started to regain its color.
Even more surprising, his white hair gradually shifted to a deep, dark black.
His skin began to change as well, the wrinkles of old age slowly disappearing, replaced by the firmness of youth.

Instead, they chase after fleeting fame, power, and status, all while tearing each other down.
Shirley clutched Robin’s arm, her heart racing as she looked into his red–rimmed eyes
She had never seen him so broken, so lost.
“Robin… don’t be upset. Renee will be okay, I know it, she whispered.
“We’ll take her to Peachgrove in Dragon Ridge Valley. It’ll help her,” she added, though doubt clouded her words,
“Sir, there are only three seconds left. Ms. Rence… her time is almost up,” Rita said through her tears.
Robin froze. His strong body trembled with the weight of the moment.
Suddenly, the room felt cold, the air thick and heavy, pressing down on them.
Robin’s gaze locked onto Renee’s pale face, her eyes swollen and distant. A painful lump formed in his
throat.
She had deserved so much more than this. A life full of joy and peace. Instead, she had been subjected to endless suffering
Now, she was slipping away, swept by the winds of fate, and there was nothing they could do.
Robin couldn’t hold back anymore. His body shook with the force of his cry. “Rence!” he screamed, his voice raw with grief.
Tears streamed down his face, unrestrained,
In that instant, everything seemed to stop.
The world stood still, frozen in sorrow.
It felt like they were just a tiny, insignificant speck, drifting in a universe of silence.
Shirley stood frozen, unable to move.
She stared at the man she loved, pulled him close.

“Robin, please don’t cry, I can’t bear to see you cry,” she whispered, her voice breaking.
“Renee isn’t gone. She’s not dead yet. She’s not,” she said, though the words sounded hollow.

Chapter 809 Don’t Cry
Daphne and Rita knelt before Robin, desperate. “Master, please. Don’t cry. Please
Then came the sound of thunder.
The sky outside darkened, and a crash of lightning split the air.
It was as if the whole world was mourning with them. The skies cried.

In the midst of the violent storm, twenty senior officers from Draconia stood frozen in place, their expressions a mixture of awe and respect.
They saluted Robin and Renee with military precision.
The seconds ticked away, each one pulling Renee closer to the end of her life.
In the quiet of the room, soft cries began to echo.
Catherine and the others knew that once the last second passed, Robin and Renee would never share another moment together.
Then, at the very instant the clock reached its final tick, something unexpected happened.
The dragon dagger shuddered, its energy pulsing with intensity.
A mournful sound cut through the air, and from the dagger, Draconite emerged.
It expanded into a large red sphere, enveloping Renee’s body in a protective cocoon.
Robin stood motionless, unable to believe his eyes.
Shirley, too, was stunned by the sight.
Daphne, Rita, the officers, and everyone else in the room were rendered speechless by the sudden turn of
events
Draconite.
It had appeared.
The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 810 A Dream
The sudden reappearance of Draconite stunned everyone in the room.
A flash of red light filled the space, so bright it was blinding
Draconite glowed like a celestial being, its beauty otherworldly and almost divine.

It seemed to carry the weight of countless lifetimes, rushing through time and space to find its long–lost companion.
For a moment, Draconite floated in front of Robin, its ze locked on his tear–streaked face.
There was a quiet understanding in its eyes, a mixture of concern, love, and sorrow.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a transparent red shield and wrapped itself around Rence.
Catherine, unable to contain her shock, blurted out, “It’s Draconite! Grandpa, that’s the Draconite I saw before!”
Hannibal turned sharply towards the apparition, tapping Catherine lightly on the head. “Didn’t you say there was no Draconite?”
Catherine pouted and muttered, “I did, but now you see it. It’s just a red mist.
“You don’t see? Draconite chooses its master!
“I may not hear their conversation or see the true form of this mist…
“But we can feel the connection. It’s like it’s holding a deep affection for Master Ramsey—almost like a
lover.
“It’s like it’s been waiting for him through all of time..
“I once thought, if reincarnation exists, maybe this Draconite was his lover in another life!”
Hannibal shook his head in disbelief. “What nonsense.
Catherine shot him an exasperated look. “You’ve got no imagination!”
Meanwhile, the royal family watched the bizarre scene with growing curiosity.
The lords and Levi, however, remained stoic, their faces serious.
The massacre at Dragon Manor and the mysterious disappearance of Young Lord Dragon and his hundred Golden Armored Soldiers were connected to Draconite and the ancient relic–two legends that were rarely spoken of
It was rumored that every time Draconite appeared, the ancient relic would soon follow.
This was seen as a bad omen.
Because, according to the tales, the appearance of the ancient relic meant chaos and bloodshed would soon consume the world.

Now that Draconite had truly reappeared, it meant the ancient relic was coming too.
And with it, a global massacre was on the horizon.

As the room filled with shocked and curious glances, Rebin began to grasp the significance of what was happening.
He caught sight of Draconite’s red mist swirling around Renee’s pale face, once lifeless, was slowly regaining its color. A soft blush began to creep across her cheeks.
A heartbeat that had been absent for so long now returned, faint but steady.
“Renee… how are you feeling?” Robin asked, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with cautious hope..
There was no answer from Rence.
Shirley, still in disbelief, noticed Renee’s hand twitch. Robin, her hand moved, Shirley said, her voice
filled with awe.
Robin’s eyes lit up with surprise and joy.
He could feel it too. Renee’s body temperature was rising, and the color on her face was deepening
At that moment, he knew. Rence was going to make it.
He never expected Draconite to have such power. In the final moment, it had managed to save her life.
As Shirley stood beside him, the red orb enveloped them, surrounding Robin, Renee, and herself in its protective glow.
Shirley stared ahead, her mind racing.
It felt as though they were entering another world, one more beautiful than anything she had ever imagined.
She shuddered at the surreal feeling that overtook her
This scene came right out of her dream. The one she had seen countless times before.
Why was it happening now?
Could it be another dream?
She bit into her wrist, the sharp pain telling her otherwise.
This was no dream.
With wide eyes, she tried to focus on the scene, trying to compare it to the dreams she’d had.
But the scene before her was too distant, too far to make out clearly.
Gradually, though, it began to sharpen.
In the distant, vibrant world, she saw a figure.

It was the exact same figure she had seen in her dreams
W–What’s going on?
Robin stared, his eyes fixed on the horizon, unable to look away.
In the distance, a figure emerged, captivating and otherworldly.

She appeared almost too perfect to be real, like something out of a dream. Each expression, every gesture, seemed hauntingly familiar.
The woman’s face was strikingly similar to Shirley’s.
Was it a trick of the light? Some reflection of Shirley?
Robin was lost in confusion. What was happening?
Was he seeing things?
Upon closer inspection, he realized the woman’s clothes and hair were completely different from Shirley’s.
Just as Robin and Shirley began to question if they were both imagining this, the woman suddenly turned toward Robin, offering a radiant smile.
“Robin, Robin, don’t cry. Renee is going to be fine, she called out, her voice reaching him across the
distance.
“You need to take her to Peachgrove in Dragon Ridge Valley. Once she’s there, the deep waters of the pond, will save her.”
Robin froze, his mind racing.
He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the woman, whose face was still so much like Shirley’s.
Was this really Shirley–or was his mind playing tricks on him?
He looked at Shirley, standing next to him, and then back to the woman in the distance.
Surrounded by mist, the woman’s beauty was undeniable, but it was Shirley’s face he saw in her.
The woman seemed to notice Robin still standing there in shock.
She smiled again, and the air seemed to shimmer with the warmth of her smile.
Without another word, she stepped backward, and the faint sound of chanting filled the air, like the soft hum of a distant temple bell.
“On that day, I closed my eyes in the temple, and I heard your true words in the chant.
“That month, I turned the prayer wheels, not seeking salvation, but hoping to feel your touch.
Our warmth.
“That year, I crawled along the mountain path, not to meet you, but just to be near
“In that life, I circled mountains and rivers, not for enlightenment, but hoping to meet you along the way.”

The chanting continued, the scent of incense lingering in the air.
The 1 woman’s graceful form slowly disappeared into the mist, leaving only the sound of the chant behind.

When he finally looked up, everything had changed.
The distant view had dissolved into mist.
For a moment. Robin just stood there, stunned. Then, he turned to Shirley, who was still staring ahead, lost in her thoughts.
“Shirley… What did you see?” he asked quietly.
“I. I saw my dream,” she murmured, her voice distant and thoughtful,
Robin couldn’t find the words. He simply stared at her, uncertain of what to make of her reply.
His gaze shifted to Renee.
Renee’s face, once pale, was now taking on a healthy flush. Her breathing had evened out.
Robin’s heart, which had been heavy with worry, now felt lighter.
He could feel the rhythm of Renee’s heartbeat, steady and reassuring.
Then, a voice echoed from far away, as if coming from another time.
Take her to Peachgrove in Dragon Ridge Valley. That’s the only way to save her.”
Robin’s body froze, his heart racing.
When he looked up again, the transparent orb had shifted. It was now a swirl of red smoke, flying through
the air. The smoke left a red trail behind it before it disappeared into Renee’s breath.
