Shirley couldn’t take her eyes off the strange sight before her.
Was it real? Or was she dreaming?
The beauty before her seemed like a mirage, breathtaking in its sudden appearance.
It left her breathless for a moment, only to disappear just as quickly.
Finished
She had already checked her wrist to be sure this wasn’t a dream, but it still felt like the illusion from her sleep.
“Robin, is this really happening?” Shirley asked, her voice trembling as she clutched Renee’s hand, feeling the shift.
“It’s real!” Robin said with a grin, his voice full of warmth.
It was the first time Shirley had seen him smile so brightly, his usual reserved demeanor replaced by pure
joy.
In that moment, she knew. Renee would be okay.
Shirley threw her arms around Robin, tears spilling down her checks.
Her face pressed against his shoulder as she whispered, Robin, you won’t be sad anymore.”
“Renee’s warm. Look, she has color in her face. She’s breathing. You’re going to save her, Robin!”
“Yes! Robin, we need to get Rence to Peachgrove in Dragon Ridge Valley now!”
Robin nodded solemnly, his voice steady. “Goodness is always protected by fate.
“Rence is so kind, so gentle. How could this happen to her?
“If I had the power, I would move mountains, travel across the stars, and tear apart the cruel fate that brought this on.
“It’s not right. The good suffer, while the wicked roam free. What’s the point of a world like that?”
Robin’s voice was deep, his words carrying weight that silenced the room.
This wasn’t just a flare of anger–it was a

The sudden crash of thunder shook the room, matching the intensity of his words.
The sound echoed through the walls, the night sky, and their very souls.
Outside, the storm raged on, mirroring the fury within
The storm surged, washing away the ugliness and darkness of the world into a deep, unseen abyss.
The storm raged, the wind howling, and the rain came down in sheets.

The dark sky, as if relieved, opened up to reveal a brilliant full moon.
Its soft, pure light spread across the rain–soaked window, casting a cool, jade glow into the room.
“Sir, Ms. Renee looks… beautiful!” Rita’s voice, filled with excitement, shattered the silence.
The heavy, sorrowful mood in the room lifted, replaced by a surge of energy.
Catherine dashed toward Robin, her face lighting up. “Master Ramsey, I’m so happy!
“It’s incredible! It’s a miracle!!” she continued, her voice almost bubbling with joy.
“I knew it! Ms. Renee is so wonderful. Fate wouldn’t be so unfair to her. Otherwise, I swear, I’d be furious!” she added, practically bouncing on her feet.
Around Robin and Shirley, a circle of girls gathered, including Wendy and Brenda–They couldn’t stop Chattering as they marveled at Renee’s beauty.
The twenty officers remained standing at attention, their faces serious, waiting for Robin’s next command.
Flint clenched his fists, his eyes burning with emotion
The Great Warrior of Dragon Soul, in the prime of his life, trembled, struggling to hold back the tears. He nodded gravely. “Good. So good. Very good.”
Jack clapped him on the back, his own excitement barely contained.
The two old friends exchanged a glance, and for the first time in twenty years, the weight of their seemed to lift.
Levi took a deep breath.
His weathered face showed no sign of joy or sorrow, his emotions unreadable.
He stood, powerful as ever, the weight of his four shining stars heavy on his shoulders.
Some of the lords showed signs of relief, their faces softening.

Watching their children and grandchildren’s happiness, they couldn’t hide the brief flicker of joy in their
eyes.
But Rhett, his face drawn, blinked back tears.
In those brief moments, it felt as though a century had passed.
If Renee had lost her life because of the missing drop of Pythoncrown water, Rhett knew that even if he survived, his heart would never be free from pain.
Renee still had a chance. That small flicker of hope allowed Rhett’s anxious heart to ease, if only just a little.
After Wilder’s care, the Suarez sisters regained their breath.
They rushed to Robin’s side, gently stroking Renee’s now vibrant, beautiful face. Tears streamed down.

“Renee, you have to pull through,” one of them whispered, her voice full of emotion.
“I’m so sorry, Master Ramsey. For twenty years, Renee has never had a single happy day with me.
“I failed Madam Suzanne. I failed Young Lord Dragon
Robin offered a reassuring smile. “Mrs. Lorelei, you’ve done nothing wrong.
“Without your patience and care over these years, Renee wouldn’t be here today.
“You not only saved her, but you gave her a good education in those hard times. There’s no way to thank you enough.
“I’ve found you. From now on, you won’t have to struggle anymore.
Take some time to rest in Brighton,” he continued. I’m taking Renee to Dragon Ridge Valley.
“Once I heal her, we’ll all be together again.”
Lorelei and Marge nodded, though reluctance was in their eyes. “Master Ramsey, please bring Renee back.”
“I will,” Robin promised. He turned to Levi.
“General Monroe, prepare a plane. I need to leave for Dragon Ridge Valley immediately.”
“Yes, Master Ramsey!” Levi responded without hesitation.
“Misael, lead the Golden Dragon Guard and escort Master Ramsey and Miss Renee to Dragon Ridge Valley.
“Understood!” Misael replied, accepting the Golden Dragon Order and stepping out with determination.
Rhett stepped forward, catching Robin’s eye. “Master Ramsey, you and Ms. Renee gave me my life. I’ll go with you to Dragon Ridge Valley.”
Flint, Jack, and the others moved forward, but Robin stopped them before they could speak.
“You stay in Brighton,” he said firmly.
His eyes swept the room, landing on the seven princes and Levi.
“Twenty years ago, the Dragon Manor massacre was left unresolved. It’s been buried in silence.
“From now on, I will personally investigate this case,
“When I return, I expect an explanation from all of you, Robin said, his voice steady and serious.
“On the night of the massacre, the Dragon Token had already been issued. Yet your rescue guards, all arrived two hours late..

Chapter 812 Scam
Misael, lieutenant general of the Golden Dragon Guard ordered the deployment of four T–30 Dragons and a Y–90 Carrier to escort Robin and Renee to Harminfield, Dragon Ridge Valley.
The T–30 fighter jet was Draconia’s newest model, an eighth–generation aircraft far outpacing the F–35 Lightning II in speed, torque, stall resistance, and attack precision,
Only 30 had been built, all currently in service with the Golden Dragon Guard.
Robin’s group traveled with Misael and Martin, both lieutenant generals, along with Shirley, Daphne, and Rita.
Thirty elite soldiers from the Golden Dragon Guard’s first squadron joined them, securing the flight with a transport plane.
The flight from Brighton’s military airport to Harmonfield was quick, lasting just 25 minutes. They landed at Harmonfield Airport at 10:30 p.m…
Drake, leading the Dunn family’s convoy, had been waiting at the airport for some
time.
As soon as the plane touched down, Robin and Renee, along with the others, quickly boarded the convoy’s -vehicles and sped off toward Dragon Ridge Valley.
Ten minutes later, the convoy exited the airport highway and entered the city’s south gate street.
But before they had gone far, the vehicles came to a sudden stop.
Robin glanced at his watch and turned to Drake. “What’s happening up ahead?”
At that moment, Andrew, the Dunns‘ head butler, rushed up to the front of the car. “Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Dunn, there’s a situation. Can we take a detour?”
Drake frowned, his impatience showing. “What’s the problem? Is there an accident? Didn’t we clear the roads ahead?”
Andrew hesitated, then glanced nervously at Robin. The roads were cleared, but this situation just came
- up.
“A woman, about forty, is blocking the road. She’s threatening to take her life and holding a sign. It’s caused a crowd to gather, and the traffic’s backed up.”
Drake raised an eyebrow. “She’s blocking the road with sign? Is she protesting? What’s her issue?
“If she has a grievance, she should take it to the right people, Drake muttered. “Blocking traffic isn’t the solution.”
Robin, curious, asked. “What’s going on with her?”
Andrew glanced at Martin before answering. “Her child was tricked into going to Menmary a few days ago. They received a call demanding 120 grand, threatening to have her child’s kidneys removed by a local scam ring if they didn’t pay.
“We’ve seen a few cases like this in Harmonfield recently.”
1/3
Robin’s brow furrowed. “Did they contact the city for help?”
Martin sighed. “I’ve heard about it. A few days ago, Henry mentioned that the city government had already met with some of the victims‘ families.
“Since it’s a cross–border scam, the city and police can’t get involved.
“He asked me to see if Draconia can step in and resolve it through official channels.
“I contacted the foreign affairs department,” Martin said, his voice steady. “They told me this situation is tough to deal with.
“The usual procedures won’t work,” he added. “Even if the higher–ups get involved, it still has to go through Menmary’s foreign affairs department.
“But that department is evasive,” Martin went on.
They told me that the area is a no–man’s land. It’s full of complicated local connections. There are former warlords stationed there, and it’s become a safe haven for criminals.
“These criminals, these scammers, hide out there. They work with the warlords to make drugs, run telecom scams, and even traffic human organs.
“In recent years, many young people from here have been lured there. Most of them never make it back.
“Some of them went looking for work. College students who couldn’t pay tuition believed the false promises of high–paying jobs. They disappeared, and no one ever heard from them again.
“Most of the victims are from Draconia.”
Robin’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening. “And there’s nothing the higher–ups can do?
“Why can’t we just send in a special forces team to clean it up? It’s a no–man’s land. How can there be any international repercussions?”
Martin shook his head. “Master Ramsey, it’s not that simple…
Robin scoffed. “In the end, it’s just cowardice and inaction! If nothing else works, we could always send in fighter jets to bomb the place into dust!”
At that moment, Andrew hurried over to them. “Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Dunn, the woman ahead just received a message and some photos from her son before he died. She had a heart attack and collapsed.”
Robin paused, his expression momentarily frozen. Then he pushed open the car door. “Shirley, Daphne. stay with Renee. I’ll check on this.”
Martin and Drake followed Robin as they rushed toward the front of the convoy. Andrew quickly motioned to the security team, and they began clearing a path through the crowd.
Robin took out a silver needle and swiftly began working on the woman, targeting ten acupoints along her heart and liver meridians. After two minutes, the woman’s eyes fluttered open.
She blinked, disoriented, before understanding what had happened.
Her face twisted in anger, and she shouted at Robin. her voice breaking. “Why did you save me? You’ve

“I’ve lost everything. My son was tricked into going there. They took his kidneys and his heart, and now
he’s dead.
“My husband couldn’t handle the grief. He drank all night and died yesterday. What’s the point of me being alive now?
The crowd, hearing her story, murmured in sympathy. It was a tragedy that no one should ever have to
face.
Low voices spread through the onlookers.
“Why can’t the police do something to rescue the kids who’ve been taken?”
“That place is a no–man’s land, and it’s overseas. It would cause an international uproar.
“Who cares if it’s a no–man’s land? What’s all this nonsense about international opinions?
“It’s just inaction. Nothing more.”
“Stop with the nonsense! We’re just regular people. How could we possibly understand all the complicated relationships involved?”
“Complicated relationships? If I had the ability, I’d gather a team and wipe them all out.”
Robin looked at the woman in silence as she sobbed. Then, he turned to Martin. “Have Henry sort something out,” he instructed.
With that, he got back into the car.
The Dunns‘ convoy resumed its journey toward Dragon Ridge Valley.
Robin’s phone buzzed. It was a message from someone he hadn’t heard from in a while.
It was from Piper.
“Robin, help me!”
At first, Robin thought it might be a scam. But when he checked the number, he realized it was really Piper.
Another message quickly followed.
“Robin, it’s really me. I’m in Menmary. Can you send me 150 grand? If you don’t, they’ll take my heart.
“They said I have three days. If the money doesn’t come by then, I’ll die.
If you don’t believe me, call this number, and I’ll talk to you. Robin, please, I’m begging you.
“I know you’re the only one who can save me.”

Piper didn’t carry any weight. It was just another name in the sea of people he didn’t owe anything to.
He wasn’t a savior. He didn’t believe in sweeping in to fix everyone’s problems.
Most people who found themselves in trouble had something that led them there.
Whether it was poor choices or greed, they were the architects of their own downfall.
The world was full of traps, and no one fell into them without some sort of temptation. If people weren’t eager for something for nothing, how could they ever get stuck?
Scams had one thing in common: the victims always thought they were getting something for free.
But the truth was clear: there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Robin sighed and muttered under his breath, “If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”
He glanced at the message he had just received from Declan at the Draconia Anti–Terrorism Department. Martin, noticing Robin’s quiet contemplation, spoke up.
“Master Ramsey, I’ve received some internal news. Our higher–ups have struck a deal with Menmary
authorities.
“They’ll be working together to dismantle these cross–border fraud rings and restore peace.”
Robin gave a short nod. “About time.”
Before the conversation could continue, another message arrived, this time from the Dark Web.
It was about the Dragon Manor massacre from two decades ago.
The message confirmed that the Poison King Sect had been involved in the attack.
Twenty–three years ago, Kennedy had taken control of the Poison King Sect.
Under his leadership, what had once been a group dedicated to making healing remedies turned into a notorious criminal organization. They started producing drugs, parasites, and even carried out assassinations.
The sect’s power grew rapidly, and it soon became the largest criminal faction in the southwest of Draconia.
Kennedy had been directly involved in the Dragon Manor massacre twenty years ago.
But after the tragedy, the Poison King Sect fell into decline. Kennedy himself disappeared from public
view.
Now, however, there were reports of Kennedy resurfacing in the Poinegreen area in southwest Draconia.
He was apparently working to revive the Poison King Sect, raising funds and making connections with various shady groups.

If Kennedy had been involved in the Dragon Manor massacre, it was time to end this once and for all.
He moved on to the second message from the Dark Web, feeling a sense of unease creeping over him.
What he read next took him by surprise.
A month ago, Rosalie, the assistant director at Dunn Group’s business strategy department, had become a disciple of Kennedy, leader of the Poison King Sect.
Robin couldn’t believe it at first. He reread the message, then let out a dry laugh.
The world was a confusing place.
One moment, someone could be on the path to goodness, and the next, they could fall to darkness.
Rosalie’s name brought back the message from Piper.
Robin couldn’t ignore the connection between them.
After a moment of thought, he sent a command to the Dark Web intelligence center.
“Check on a woman named Piper Dawson and her recent activities.”
Within seconds, a report came through.
Piper Dawson, 21 years old.
She had worked at Dunn Group.
Two months ago, she left the Dunns‘ family business and had been without work since.
A week ago, she was tricked by Rosalie–now a disciple of the Poison King Sect–and taken to Poinegreen. in the southwest. Three days ago, she was sold to Menmary.
Robin read the report and figured out that the message had indeed come from Piper.
This was Rosalie’s revenge.
Robin couldn’t understand it. The once timid, innocent girl had transformed into someone so calculating, all because she got out of the rat race.
It was their business, their fight. Robin had no interest in delving deeper into their past.
He turned off his phone and glanced at Renee, still resting peacefully.
Despite himself, he sent a message to Cassian, a contact from Hongmen.
“Get in touch with a Menmary warlord called Wallace Wallensby. Find a 21–year–old girl named Piper Dawson and bring her back to Draconia in three hours
Ten minutes later Drake’s convoy reached the edge of Dragon Ridge Valley

Chapter 813 Across Time and Space
Cassian’s reply came soon after.
“Piper has been rescued by Wallace’s men and is on her way back to Draconia through our secure channels.”
Robin switched off his phone and carefully lifted Rence out of the car.
Misael, leading the Golden Dragon Guard, escorted them as they headed toward Peachgrove.
It was well past midnight, and the valley was dark as pitch.
The Golden Dragon Guard switched on their night lights.
Suddenly, the area was bright, as though it were day.
The eerie shadows and the strange moonlight vanished under the harsh lights.
They made their way toward Peachgrove.
The marks of the battle from a few months ago were still visible, though faint.

What caught Robin’s attention was that, despite it being June, the peach trees were still in full bloom.
Then he noticed something odd: the temperature in the orchard remained a steady 50 to 60 degrees.
No matter how hot or cold it was outside, or in the rest of Dragon Ridge Valley, the temperature here stayed like spring.
He remembered something the old man had told him: to save a life teetering on the edge of death, only the energy of early spring could revive it, bringing it back to life.
Draconite, Robin thought, had formed from the energy of the water and peach blossoms that had surrounded Peachgrove for centuries.
This energy had gathered into a mist, a fog that, over the years, had developed its own power.
It was like a magnetic field of life.
Over time, it had grown a soul of its own, like a mythical being that had cultivated its power for thousands of years.
It seemed to be linked to past lives, searching across time and space for wishes left unfulfilled.
Robin didn’t know why Draconite recognized him, but he was grateful.
The energy that had gathered over the centuries had somehow saved his sister’s life.
Through its magnetic field, Draconite had sent him a message, guiding him to bring Renee here.
It was in this place that her life force could begin to flow again.
As Robin walked toward Peachgrove, carrying Renee, he could feel her strength returning,
The air smelled of peach blossoms, and a cool breeze seemed to come from another time.

It felt refreshing, like a moment of clarity.
He gestured for the others to turn off their lights.
The moonlight washed over the waters of Peachgrove, illuminating the area with a gentle glow.
The peach blossoms reflected in the still water, like petals set in a beautiful piece of jade.
A soft mist rose from the water, almost magical under the light, creating an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere.
Robin was convinced that this place, with its ancient energy, could bring his sister back.
He looked around at the others. “Stay here by Peachgrove,” he told them. “I’ll take Renee down.”
“I’ll go with you,” Shirley said, stepping closer.
Daphne moved forward as well. “Sir, we don’t know what’s under the water. Let us come with you.”
“There’s no need,” Robin answered. “Stay here. We will be back soon.”
With that, he leaped into the clear waters of Peachgrove, Renee still in his arms.

The waters of Peachgrove were as clear as fresh spring water, smooth and shining like polished jade.
As Robin sank deeper into the pool, a feeling of calm washed over him, the cool water soothing his entire body.
He held onto Renee tightly as they descended, feeling the pressure of the water around them. They sank for what felt like an eternity, until finally, they reached the bottom.
The pool seemed endless, stretching deeper than a thousand feet.
Surprisingly, the depths brought no chill or sense of danger. Instead, it felt oddly peaceful.
Once they reached the center, the light dimmed.
Robin adjusted his bearings, and then he saw it–a faint light to the south.
He took a few steps toward it, and the glow became stronger.
After walking about twenty yards, they came upon a giant water curtain.
It towered nearly a hundred feet, stretching about thirty feet across.
The moonlight behind the curtain created a soft, ethereal glow.
Robin carefully made his way around the curtain, discovering a cave behind it.
To his surprise, the cave was filled with a gentle, otherworldly light.
He searched for the source and soon realized that the light was coming from the peak of Zixia Mountain
That spot, he knew, lay behind Villa One, near the horse stables and the mastiff pens.
Could Villa One really be connected to this place? Was this mere coincidence, or was it deliberate?
A feeling of doubt washed over Robin.
“Achoo!” Renee sneezed softly.
Robin turned to her, his attention focused on her face.
The moonlight illuminated her features, giving her an almost divine, otherworldly presence.
Her delicate nostrils inhaled the fragrant mix of flowers and water, and her complexion deepened in color, becoming more vivid.
For a brief moment, there was silence, and then, from her breath, two wisps of red mist floated into the air.
The mist rose slowly, taking on the shape of a fiery red dragon before condensing into a ball.
Draconite, in its playful form, hung in midair, casting its brilliant light around the cave.

As the light shifted, Robin noticed something at the eastern side of the cave.
Before a sheer cliff stood a bed made of translucent jade.

The glowing light of Draconite made the jade bed sparkle as if it were alive, pulsating with a vibrant, almost lifelike energy.
Draconite, with a joyful leap, danced in front of Robin, casting its light onto the jade bed, making it shimmer like flowing blood.
Robin finally grasped Draconite’s intent.
Carefully, he walked to the jade bed, holding Renee close. With deliberate movements, he laid her down.
Once she was settled, he straightened her clothes and hair, ensuring she was comfortable before stepping back.
Draconite hovered around him, circling three times.
A dizzying sensation overtook Robin, like being caught in a dream.
He thought he heard a faint voice calling his name. “Robin…”
The world around him seemed to shift, strange yet oddly familiar.
He saw a figure, delicate and alluring, retreating further away, fading into the distance.
A soft, melodic laugh echoed through the cave.
It seemed close, yet distant, as though it came from far off.
Robin snapped out of his trance, his senses returning to reality.
Draconite had moved above the jade bed, now swirling into a ball of red mist that completely surrounded
Renee.
Suddenly, the dragon dagger trembled in his hand.
A deep, resonant dragon’s roar filled the cave, breaking the silence.
High above them, a golden dragon danced around the red mist, its movements fluid and playful.
Robin glanced down at Renee, but she remained still on the jade bed, unaffected by the spectacle.
The red mist thickened, veiling her further from view.
The golden dragon kept circling above, its presence a constant.
Then, abruptly, the golden dragon froze in midair. Its eyes blazed with piercing light.
The beams shot down, hitting a clear patch of ground in front of the bed.
Robin followed the dragon’s gaze, drawn to the spot where the light landed.
There on the ground something aleamed faintly a mysterious glow emanating from ir

Curious, he walked toward the object and discovered an emerald pendant, intricately designed but covered in dust.
He picked it up, wiping away the grime to reveal an engraving.
The words etched on the pendant made his heart race Golden Dragon.
For a moment, Robin couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Had he misread it?
Robin studied the emerald pendant closely. The words carved into it were impossible to miss.
Who could have been here before? These words could only mean one thing.
They hinted at a connection to the Dragon Palace.
He examined the pendant for any other clues but found nothing else that stood out.
He decided to take it with him and examine it further later.
Once back, he’d send a picture to Old Ghost and see if he recognized it.
Robin tied the pendant to his waist and looked back at Renee.
Her hands and feet were shifting slightly
He heard a faint sound in her breathing.
As he moved closer, he realized she was softly calling out to “Mrs. Leif.”
Renee was still in a deep sleep.
After twenty years of being so close to Marge, that bond had stayed with her. Even in a coma, she called
out to her.
Robin’s heart leapt as he watched his sister begin to stir
It felt like a miracle. After so many years, he had found her again.
For a moment, he wondered if his father and grandfather weren’t truly gone.
Where were they?
Why had they left without a word?
Had someone forced them to disappear, or was there something else going on?
He couldn’t make sense of it.
But he felt he was getting closer to understanding the mystery from twenty years ago.
The red mist surrounding Renee began to thin, rising in wisps of smoke.

The golden dragon let out a sorrowful roar before turning into a wisp of blue smoke and merging into the dragon dagger.
Draconite circled Rence and Robin three times, then flew off, following the golden dragon.
The cave fell silent again. Moonlight bathed the space, casting an eerie glow over everything.
Renee remained unconscious, murmuring Marge’s name every so often.
Robin carefully lifted her into his arms and began walking toward the massive water curtain.
Just as he neared it, a line of words flashed across the surface.
It happened so fast that Robin couldn’t catch what they said.
He thought he had imagined it, but he didn’t give it too much thought.
He just focused on holding Renee tightly as he moved toward the surface of Peachgrove water.
Shirley, Daphne, and the others rushed over.
“Robin, how’s Renee?” Shirley asked, grabbing Renee’s hand.
“She’s better,” Robin said, still holding Renee. He began walking toward Dragon Ridge Valley. “She’s still unconscious, but she’ll need some time to recover. Let’s go. I’ll take her back to Villa One.”
Misael, the leader of the Golden Dragon Guard, noticed the emerald pendant hanging from Robin’s waist. His eyes widened.
After a brief pause, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity.
“Master Ramsey, has this emerald pendant always been with you?”

Misael’s question drew everyone’s attention to the emerald pendant hanging at Robin’s waist.
In the vast, quiet Dragon Ridge Valley, the world seemed to stop.
Time itself seemed to freeze for a moment.
The first rays of morning sunlight cut through the jagged cliffs above.
The light scattered across the landscape, casting colorful beams that danced across the peach blossoms, making the scene feel almost unreal.
The pendant caught the sunlight, sparkling in a brilliant array of colors.
A light breeze stirred the pendant, creating a soft, melodic sound as it tapped against the clasp.
It felt as though the pendant was whispering tales from the past.
Shirley’s eyes were immediately drawn to the pendant. Her gaze softened in awe at its beauty.
Such an exquisite, enchanting piece.
She opened her mouth, as if to speak, but then thought better of it.
Some things are best left unsaid.
She could tell Robin didn’t want to answer Misael’s question.
Understanding that, she gently took his arm.
“The morning chill in the valley has left Renee quite weak. We should get her into the car right away.”
Misael froze, suddenly realizing he had crossed a line.
“Apologies, Master Ramsey,” he said quickly. “I’ll have the Golden Dragon Guard escort you right now.”
Robin gave a short nod. “I’m taking Renee back to Villa One.
“She’ll need some time to rest there. Once she’s better, we’ll head back to Brighton.”
“Yes, Master Ramsey!” Misael replied, immediately signaling the Golden Dragon Guard to start their convoy toward Villa One.
The convoy had only traveled a few minutes before it came to an abrupt halt.
“Colonel Lockwood, what’s happening up ahead?” Robin asked, glancing between his sister and the front of the convoy.
Misael’s voice crackled through the earpiece.
“General, the road ahead has collapsed. We can’t get through. We’ll need to find another way.”

“General, the road up the mountain likely collapsed around carly this morning, just as you and Ms. Renee were entering Peachgrove.”
Robin nodded and gave a swift command. “Have the convoy take a detour.”
At once, the Golden Dragon Guard convoy changed direction and moved along another outer ring road, heading for Villa One.
Inside the spacious, luxurious RV, Robin sat beside Shirley, Daphne, and Rita, all keeping close to Rence as she rested quietly.
Shirley looked at Renee, her face softening with a smile “Robin, you and your sister really do look alike.
“Seeing you both together like this, it makes me so happy. I can’t help but smile.”
Shirley’s voice grew quieter, filled with longing.
“I’ve always dreamed of a simple life with my parents, just being together. But that dream… it’s one I’ll never get to live.”
Daphne and Rita exchanged understanding looks and nodded in agreement.
What would it be like to live in a world free from harm and conflict? A world where a family could be together, happy, and safe?
Such a simple wish seemed out of reach–harder to achieve than any fortune could ever be.
And maybe it was a dream that could never come true.
There are always those who linger in the shadows the schemers, the selfish, the evil–hearted, those who can’t bear to see others happy.
They spread their darkness like pests, multiplying with each passing year.
After a brief silence, Shirley gazed down at Renee, her expression soft and full of warmth.
“To reunite after twenty years… wh?
kind of fate
does it take for something like that to happen?” she wondered aloud. “It’s a kind of luck that most people can’t even imagine.”
Robin shook his head, his tone serious. “It’s not just luck.
“If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Lorelei and the others, enduring all those tough years, protecting Renee, we wouldn’t be here today. This reunion, all of it, was meant to happen.
“There are still good, kind people in the world. The ones who show love, who help others–those are the ones we should remember and be thankful for.
“But the ones who’ve hurt us, the ones who are cruel, who take pleasure in the suffering of others—they’ll be forgotten. They’ll never be forgiven.”
Shirley listened carefully, her gaze fixed on Robin’s strong, determined face.
A warm, contented smile spread across her lips.

Shirley, completely lost in the moment, had forgotten hat anyone else was in the car. She leaned against Robin’s shoulder, her voice quiet as she murmured, “Robin, you and Renec are so lucky. I want to be with you both forever.”
Daphne glanced from Rence to Robin and then at Shirley, who was clearly in a daze. Her cheeks flushed a deep red.
She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but the words never came.
Rita, sensing the awkward silence, blurted, “Sir, Ms. Daphne feels the same. You’re really a great person!”
The car fell silent. Everyone froze, unsure of what to say next.
Shirley’s bright smile quickly faded, replaced by a mix of embarrassment and confusion.
Daphne, processing Rita’s words, felt heat rise to her face. It spread quickly to her neck.
She reached over and lightly tapped Rita’s head. “What on earth are you talking about?”
Rita wasn’t deterred. “Ms. Daphne, does that mean you don’t like being with Mr. Robin? Or that he’s not good enough?”
Daphne’s face turned crimson. “Of course, I like being with him! He’s the best man in the world!”
Rita, clearly not understanding the situation, pouted. “Then what’s the problem?”
Daphne was at a loss for words, her flustered expression making it clear. “Rita, you’re impossible!”
Shirley chuckled, easing the tension. “Rita sure is something else.”
Daphne turned to Robin and Shirley, still red in the face. “Sorry, sir, Ms. Dunn. Rita’s a bit spoiled … ”
Realizing she might have gone too far, Rita quickly added, “Master, Miss Dunn, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to …”
The car fell into a heavy silence before Rita spoke again, her voice smaller this time. “Mrs. Leif … I’m hungry.”
The sudden shift in the atmosphere left everyone feeling a bit awkward.
Robin glanced at Daphne, then at Rita, and finally at Shirley. “Was that Renee just now?”
Shirley nodded. “Yes, I heard it too. It was definitely Renee.”
Robin nodded in response. “Alright. Ferell, tell Misael to pull over at the breakfast shop up ahead.”
Robin and Shirley got out of the car and walked toward the small breakfast shop.
A few months ago, Robin had been here with Vera.
They had waited in line for
some good old breakfast and even helped Rosalie handle a troublemaker.
The line outside the shop was just as long as it had been before.
Noticing Rohin lost in thought Shirley casually asked Rohin did you know Rosalie left the company?”

Robin instinctively nodded.
“You knew about this?” Shirley asked in surprise.
“Yeah, I just heard about it yesterday,” Robin replied.
Shirley apologized with a sigh. “I tried to convince her to stay, but Rosalie was determined to leave.
48 Parts
“I think it might have something to do with that incident at the hotel. What her mother did embarrassed her so much that she felt she couldn’t stay with the company anymore.
“Afterward, I talked to her and explained that it had nothing to do with her, urging her not to take it to heart.
“But Rosalie insisted on resigning. Seeing her resolve, I had no choice but to sign her resignation letter.
“When she left, I asked the finance department to give her an additional 200 thousand dollars to help her through this transitional period.”
As they reached the front of the small shop, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly. “Sir, it’s been a while!”
“You recognize me?” Robin asked with a smile.
“Of course! A few months ago, you stood up to some thugs who were bullying a young college girl,” the shopkeeper said, recalling the incident.
“That girl was so timid. If it weren’t for you, she would’ve been in big trouble.”
Robin cut the conversation short. “Alright. Get me a bowl of oatmeal and a few sides for breakfast.” After paying, he turned to leave with Shirley.
Shirley was surprised as she glanced at the takeout. “So, it was here that you helped Rosalie that time?”
Robin nodded. “Yeah, just a chance encounter.”
“Robin … What a coincidence!” A voice called from the long queue.
Robin and Shirley looked up to see Alice standing in line. She was dressed in the formal uniform of a real estate company and was staring at them with a complicated expression.
Beside her, a colleague in matching attire exclaimed, “Alice, you know them?
“Isn’t that Ms. Dunn from the Dunn Group?
“And the man next to her… isn’t he the one who got out of that luxurious royal convoy?
“That
guy is so handsome! He must be some rich heir. With a convoy like that, he’s probably got money he couldn’t spend in a lifetime.”
Under the envious and astonished gazes of the crowd, Robin and Shirley walked away with their takeout, heading toward the convoy.

“Ugh, I’m so sick of this job. The pay is peanuts, and we have to arrive 15 minutes early every day to shout slogans like ‘Good, better, best!‘ Seriously, it’s all nonsense! My life is anything but good!”
Noticing Alice was still dazed, the woman patted her. “Snap out of it! No matter how much you stare, you’ll never live a life like theirs. We’re stuck being wage slaves!”
Alice forced a bitter smile. “Yeah, I’ll never have a life like that. I really regret it…”
“Alice, what’s wrong?” her colleague asked apologetically. “Did I say something to upset you?”
“I’m fine,” Alice replied. “In my situation, I don’t even have the right to feel upset. Life doesn’t allow for mistakes.
“One wrong step, and you’ll lose the most precious things that were once yours. What’s lost will never
return.”
The Golden Dragon Guard convoy disappeared into the distance, leaving Alice standing under the impatient glow of the morning sun.
Her regret and remorse tore at her endlessly.
If only life could start over …
Back in the car, Shirley avoided mentioning Rosalie or Alice again as she didn’t want to annoy Robin.
Together with Daphne and Rita, she helped feed Renee the oatmeal.
Robin’s phone buzzed with a voice message from Piper
“Robin, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I might not be alive today.
“I don’t know how to thank you.
“After facing death, I’ve realized how awful I was before, especially to you. I’m sorry!
“I’m back in Draconia now, in Poinegreen, Southmere. Where are you? I really want to see you. You gave me a second chance at life. Thank you.”
Robin sighed, wanting to ignore it altogether.
After pondering momentarily, he replied, “There’s no need to meet. Since you’ve survived, live your life well from now on.”
Fifteen minutes later, the convoy arrived at Villa One.
As they opened the villa door, memories of the chaos caused by the Millers here just months ago felt as fresh as yesterday.
Robin recalled Alice’s bitter, sorrowful gaze from earlier and shook his head coldly.
She didn’t deserve anv svmnathy even if she was regretting it now.

Every life path is the result of one’s own choices.
The ending was already set the moment the choice was made.
Daphne, Shirley, and Rita helped push Rence into the villa.
The three of them cleaned her up and changed her into a fresh set of clothes.
“Robin, when will Renee wake up?” Shirley asked.
+8 Pear’s
Robin looked at Renee’s rosy complexion. “If all goes well, she should wake up in about two hours. Her organs will fully recover by then.
“Renee lost almost all her blood. If I hadn’t used her internal vital energy to activate her bone marrow and keep her brain cells alive, she wouldn’t have survived.
“Renee is kind, which is why things weren’t completely hopeless. Her body is weak now, but after some time and care, she’ll recover.
“I plan to let her stay in Villa One for a longer period and I’ll prepare some medicinal pills for her
recovery.
“Once her body heals, she’ll be even healthier than before.”
Just then, Shirley’s phone rang–it was Amber.
Worried about disturbing Renee’s rest, Shirley stepped outside to answer.
“Ms. Dunn, Mr. Quarles from the Southmere Poinegreen branch called. He said there’s a major technical issue with the city development project that needs your attention.”
“A major issue?” Shirley asked, puzzled. “What could it be?”
“Mr. Quarles didn’t explain,” Amber replied. “He seemed anxious and said if we don’t address it quickly, it could lead to significant losses.”
Shirley glanced back at Renee’s room. “I can’t make it today. Here’s what you’ll do. Go with the directors of our marketing and technical departments to assess the situation.
“If it’s solvable on–site, handle it there. Coordinate with other departments as needed.”
“Understood,” Amber replied. “I’ll head to Poinegreen with the team immediately.”

In the heart of Poinegreen, Southmere, a grand and mysterious luxury villa stood tall.
Finished
Inside the grand hall, a middle–aged man with a dark complexion and long hair sat in the center, exuding a commanding presence.
This man was none other than Kennedy Brown, the Poison King Sect’s leader who had vanished nearly two decades ago.
To his left stood a young man–Liam, chairman of Harmonfield Universal Group.
On Kennedy’s right, Rosalie knelt humbly by his side.
“Mr. Kennedy, at 7 a.m. this morning, I forced Paxton Quarles, the general manager of the Dunn Group’s Southmere branch, to hand over all company seals. Our people have already taken control of the finance department and the company’s accounts.
“Paxton also contacted Shirley’s assistant, Amber, as I instructed. However, it seems Shirley has been delayed by something. Amber, along with the directors of the marketing and technical departments, are on their way to the Southmere Poinegreen branch.”
“What? Shirley hasn’t arrived?” Kennedy’s drunken eyes snapped open, filled with irritation.
“If she doesn’t show up, how can we get Drake to hand over the Dunn Group to us?
“Besides, I’ve had my eyes on Harmonfield’s diva for a long time. She definitely has to be here!”
Rosalie, visibly tense, groveled on the ground in submission. “Please forgive me, Mr. Kenedy. I—I’ll find a way to ensure Shirley comes to Poinegreen immediately.”
Liam added, “Mr. Kennedy, I have an idea that will guarantee Shirley’s arrival.”
Kennedy’s drunken gaze lit up with a perverse gleam. “Oh, Liam, you’re the clever one. Let’s hear it.”
With a sly smile, Liam glanced at Rosalie, who was trembling on the ground.
“When Amber arrives, we’ll use her phone to send a message to Shirley.
“We’ll tell her there’s been a catastrophic accident at the Southmere development project, and only she can resolve it.
“Shirley trusts Amber completely. Once she sees the message, she’ll rush here without hesitation. Then, Mr. Kennedy, you can handle her however you please.
“With Shirley in our grasp, Drake will have no choice but to hand over the Dunn Group.
“Their assets–worth three or four hundred billion–will be more than enough to elevate the Poison King Sect into the largest sect in Draconia!”
Kennedy burst into sinister laughter that carried a foul stench as black smoke and wriggling worms escaped his black lips.
Placing a hand on Rosalie’s shoulder, Kennedy grinned wickedly. “Rosalie, when the time comes, I’ll give

“Yes, Mr. Kennedy,” Rosalie replied respectfully as a glimmer of malice flashed through her sorrowful eyes.
Shirley, Amber… we’re all human!
Why am I born into poverty and had to suffer endlessly while you are born with a silver spoon?
Even Robin–the man I loved–came to despise me because of you, Shirley!
It was you who made me feel so lowly before him.
Not only did you humiliate me, but you also took back the house he let me live in, leaving me with nothing.
You already have everything–why couldn’t you let me have even a sliver of happiness?
Shirley, I hate you!
Fate is so unfair! I hate it!
Why do I have nothing but suffering while you have nothing but blessings?
Why?!
Why?!
Why?!
I’ll prove that I can change my destiny.
I’ll show Robin that I’m not weak, or incompetent.
I can achieve everything I desire!
Outside the Poinegreen Airport.
Paxton, the Dunn Group Southmere branch’s general manager, stood in the arrival area. Flanked by two Poison King Sect disciples.
Poinegreen was the largest border city in Southmere.
It had attracted the Dunn Group’s attention six months ago, leading to a 3 billion capital investment and the establishment of a city development company.
At 3:30 p.m., Amber, along with marketing director Gisselle Welch, technical director Naomi Bell, and the general manager’s secretary Lilian Jenkinson, exited the airport.
Paxton’s eyes flickered with unease when he realized Shirley wasn’t among them.
“Mr. Quarles, what’s going on with the Southmere branch?” Amber asked as she and the team approached him.
Payton hesitated and glanced over hic shoulder hefore renlving “Me Dunn ien’t with you ove?”

Amber nodded. “Ms. Dunti couldn’t make it for now. She asked me, along with Ms. Welch from the marketing department and Ms. Bell from the tech department, to assess the situation and report back to
her.”
Paxton exchanged a quick glance with the two people beside him before replying, “Alright then, Ms. Jenning. Let’s get in the car, and we’ll discuss things further.”
Without overthinking, the four women followed Paxton and boarded the spacious black Mercedes van.
As soon as they settled into their seats, something unexpected happened. Before Amber and her team could react, the two men inside the vehicle, along with the pair who had been with Paxton earlier, swiftly subdued them.
“What are you doing, Mr. Quarles? Why are you tying us up?” Amber shouted.
Paxton sighed. “I’m sorry, Ms. Jenning. I had no choice. They forced me to do this.
“To be honest, these men are from the Poison King Sect.
“Mr. Kennedy invited Ms. Dunn, but you guys came.
“What happens to you now depends on Mr. Kennedy’s decision when we get there.”
Amber glared at Paxton, her voice trembling with fury. The Poison King Sect? Paxton, what’s the meaning of this? What does the Poison King Sect want? What grudge could they possibly have against Ms. Dunn?
“This is illegal! You-”
“Silence!” one of the men barked. “Save your words for Mr. Kennedy.”
Amber and her team exchanged panicked glances. None of them dared to utter another word.
This was something they had never experienced–a kidnapping.
What could the Poison King Sect possibly want?
Before Amber or the others could say anything more, their mouths were sealed with duct tape, and blindfolds were secured tightly over their eyes.
Half an hour later, the van arrived at a secluded villa deep in Poinegreen.
The vehicle drove straight through the gates and into the estate. The four men dragged Amber and her team out of the car, leading them into the villa’s grand hall.
Inside, their blindfolds and gags were removed.
Amber immediately recognized two familiar figures in the center–Liam and Rosalie.
Between them was a man in his fifties with long hair cascading over his shoulders.
Liam rose and approached Amber with a smile that sent chills down her spine. “Ms. Jenning, we meet again. Funny, isn’t it? I never thought we’d cross paths like this. Truly amusing.”
“Liam!” Amber roared, her anger boiling over. “What the hell are you doing? Do you realize this is a crime? This is kidnapping!”

Liam chuckled mockingly. “Crime? Kidnapping? Oh, Ms. Jenning, those words don’t exist here.
“In the Poison King Sect, under Mr. Kennedy’s rule, the only law that matters is power. Everything else is irrelevant.”
“Enough!” Kennedy’s voice thundered through the hall Stop wasting time. Contact Shirley immediately”
Rosalie took Amber’s phone from Paxton and crafted a nessage to Shirley, mimicking Amber’s tone.

Chapter 818 The Cruel Rosalie
“What did you message Ms. Dunn?” Amber demanded, her voice laced with suspicion as she watched Rosalie’s hateful expression.
Rosalie scoffed and approached Amber.
“Ms. Jenning, I sent a message to Shirley pretending to be you. I told her there was a major incident at the Dunn Group’s Southmere branch with nearly ten casualties.
“The current situation has already drawn serious attention from Southmere’s authorities. Thanks to Mr. Quarles‘ coordination, the details of the incident are being kept confidential.
“It’s to lure Ms. Dunn here to Poinegreen to handle the matter. She’ll need to negotiate compensation with the families of the victims and take responsibility on behalf of the Dunn Group. This will, of course, minimize the negative fallout.
“Do you think someone as responsible as Ms. Dunn wouldn’t rush here immediately? And naturally, Mr. Quarles will personally greet her.
“In fact, I imagine it won’t be long before all of you and Ms. Dunn are reunited right here.”
-Amber stared at Rosalie in shock.
The girl standing in front of her was no longer the timid, kind–hearted college student she once knew.
“Rosalie, what’s happened to you? Tell me that you were being forced! Is there something you can’t tell me?”
Rosalie chuckled. “No one forced me and I have no secrets. This is what I want. I want to see all of you groveling beneath my feet.”
Amber was dumbfounded.
She thought she was hearing it wrongly.
How could someone change so drastically in just a few days?
“Rosalie, why did you deceive me? Why are you lying to Ms. Dunn? What’s gotten into you?
“Do you even realize what you’re doing? You’re putting Ms. Dann in danger!”
Her gaze darted toward Kennedy and the Poison King Sect disciples surrounding them.
“Who are these people? Rosalie, are you being threatened? If you’re in trouble, don’t be afraid–just tell Ms. Dunn.
“With Mr. Ramsey’s help, these trash wouldn’t dare hurt you!
“Trash?” Liam chuckled darkly. “Ms. Jenning, your tone is starting to resemble Robin’s and Shirley’s.
“You call us trash, but do you even know who this is?”
Liam gestured toward Kennedy. “This is Mr. Kennedy, the set leader of Southmere’s top sect.

“Rosalie is Mr. Kennedy’s top disciple!
“She’s only been under his tutelage for less than a month, but she’s already unrecognizable from the person you used to know.”
Turning to Kennedy, Liam bowed slightly. “Mr. Kennedy, may I suggest letting Ms. Rosalie demonstrate the skills she’s learned?”
Kennedy’s gaze swept over Amber, Giselle, and–Naomi before pointing at Lilian. “Rosalie, kill that one— the youngest.
“Let them see that nothing matters in the face of the Poison King Sect.
“And if anyone else dares to spout insults, I’ll send them all to hell.”
“Yes, Mr, Kennedy!” Rosalie said respectfully.
Amber instinctively stepped in front of Rosalie, trying to block her path.
But she shoved Amber aside and walked straight toward Lilian, who was barely in her twenties.
Her eyes narrowed with disdain. “You must be new at the Dunn Group, right?”
Terrified by Rosalie’s menacing gaze, Lilian tried to back away. “W–What do you want?”
Amber shouted, panic rising in her voice. “Rosalie, stop! She’s just a kid who just graduated!”
Rosalie scoffed coldly. “A fresh grad? Who hasn’t been through those innocent years? Back then, I was drowning in hospital bills and hounded by black–market loan sharks.
“I lived like a stray dog–pathetic and worthless.
“And why does she get to be happier than me?

“I swore to myself so many times–I wouldn’t want to reincarnate if there’s a next life! Living is just too painful!
“The more miserable I became, the more people bullied me. My heart has long been filled with hatred!”
Suddenly, black smoke began to emanate from Rosalie’s palm, swirling and expanding rapidly until it enveloped Lilian.
Lilian, who had been frozen in terror, burst into maniacal laughter.
In the thick black fog, thousands of wriggling black caterpillars swarmed over Lilian’s body.

Never in their lives had they witnessed anything so horrifying.
A living person, devoured entirely by countless tiny insects.
In less than two minutes, Lilian was gone without a trace.
All that remained on the floor were her clothes and scattered strands of hair.
Amber sank to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. “Rosalie, how could you be so cruel? Lilian never wronged you! She was just a fresh graduate, new to her job. How could you bear to do this to her?”
Rosalie withdrew the black smoke and sneered. “Mr. Kennedy taught me that to reach the pinnacle of this world, you must be ruthless. Without it, you’ll forever be stuck at the bottom. Only by being more vicious than others can I escape the fate of being trampled underfoot.
“Anyone or anything that stands in my way will be destroyed!
“If someone dares to block my path, I will kill them!”
Amber was stunned.
She couldn’t comprehend how the once meek and honest girl she knew had turned into someone so heartless and terrifying.
“Rosalie, why are you doing this?
“In your most difficult times, Ms. Dunn and Mr. Ramsey helped you unconditionally. Even if you have grievances against life and fate, how could you unleash that hatred on Ms. Dunn and the Dunn Group?”
“Hahaha!” Rosalie laughed, her voice filled with bitterness. “Why? Amber, have you forgotten what you said to me in that hotel?
“You told me to pay back the 300 thousand and return the house to you in front of everyone. Do you remember the look in your eyes? They were filled with contempt.

Feeling frustrated, Shirley pulled up Paxton’s number.
“Mr. Quarles, this is Shirley. What happened at the Southmere branch? And is Ms. Jenning at the office?”
“Ms. Dunn, Ms. Jenning arrived earlier today,” Paxton replied over the phone. “There’s been a major accident at one of our construction projects–there’s ten casualties.
“Ms. Jenning is currently attending an on–site meeting with Southmere’s relevant authorities and trying to negotiate with them. Ms. Dunn, you really need to come here personally to handle this.

“Mr. Ramsey? Why are you here? Where … where am I?

Renee smiled faintly. “Who are you?”
Realizing her excitement was inappropriate, Rita quickly explained, “Oh, I’m… I’m Rita.”

“Sis?” She frowned in confusion. “Mr. Ramsey, is that what you’re calling me?”
“Yes,” Robin pulled out two pendants from his pocket.
The phoenix emerald pendant had been meticulously restored by a skilled craftsman.
“Mr. Ramsey, what are you trying to say?” Renee asked, staring at the pendants in bewilderment.
Robin explained, “Renee, listen to me. These are the pendants our parents had crafted for us all those years ago. Mine represents the dragon, and yours is the phoenix. You and I are siblings, separated for 20 years.”
Renee stared at Robin in shock as he recounted the past.
She was in disbelief.

Daphne and Rita linked arms with Renee, and the three women began chatting happily.
At that moment, Robin’s phone started ringing incessantly.

Robin stepped out of the room to answer.
“Piper, I understand how you feel right now. Didn’t I already tell you that I don’t need your gratitude?
“I saved you out of a friendship, nothing more than that.
“Please don’t contact me again. You’ve been given a second chance at life, so take some time to think about what you want to do moving forward.”
“Mr. Ramsey, that’s not what I meant,” Piper said urgently on the other end of the line.
“I wanted to tell you that I saw Ms. Jenning and two directors from the Dunn Group. They… they might have been tricked by Rosalie into going to Poinegreen.
“Later, I saw Ms. Dunn and the Dunn Group’s PR team getting into a Poison King Sect vehicle with Paxton. I think they’re in danger!”
Robin was about to hang up, but Piper’s words made him pause.
“You’re certain that Poison King Sect tricked Shirley and Amber into going to Southmere?” he asked.
Piper’s voice was firm. “Mr. Ramsey, I swear on my life it’s true.
“I hate Rosalie with every fiber of my being. I came back from Menmary intending to hide here and find an opportunity to get back at her. But then I saw Amber and the others…”

Robin scoffed. “From what I’ve gathered, the Poison King Sect has been gearing up for something big in recent years, but they’re critically short on funds.
“Liam, being the opportunistic fool he is, teamed up with them. For the past three or four years, they’ve been scheming to exploit the Dunn Group.
“After Liam’s plans were dismantled and the Hamiltons Universal Group went bankrupt, their ambitions to take over the Dunn Group fell apart. Now, they’ve resorted to desperate measures.”
“They’re utterly audacious!” Jonah exclaimed. “But how did Ms. Dunn and Ms. Jenning end up being tricked into going to Poinegreen?”
Robin sighed. “Do you know Rosalie, the Assistant Director of the Dunn Group’s Marketing Strategy Department?”
Jonah nodded. “I’ve met her. Is she involved?”
“Yes. I never expected such a drastic transformation in someone within such a short time.
“When a person becomes consumed by their own obsessions, they can turn from kind–hearted to monstrous in the blink of an eye.”
Checking the time, Robin said, “Let’s get our boarding passes sorted.”
As they approached the VIP lane, a commotion erupted nearby.
“Move aside! Make way!” A group of security guards yelled, shoving people out of their path. Robin

VIP passage
Dozens of security guards held hands, forming a human barricade on either side of her.
The woman in the center was holding a phone, chatting animatedly while laughing exaggeratedly.
The scene resembled a tightly packed enclosure as if they feared she might escape at any moment.
Yet, there wasn’t even a crowd.
Other than Robin and his two companions, the only people nearby were the airport security staff.
The commotion, ironically, drew the attention of passengers from other parts of the terminal.
“What’s going on over there at the fast track?”
“Who’s that woman in the middle?”
“No idea.”
“Wow, what a spectacle. It’s ridiculous, like a circus act.”
“All those security guards, shouting for nothing. Is she protecting herself from the air?”
Finished
Robin casually asked, “Who is she?”
Jonah looked at the large placards held by the group which featured an oversized photo of the woman.
“The sign says her name is Peggy Dutton,” Jonah replied.
“She’s an actress with Dreamweaver Entertainment in Southmere, though I’m not sure what roles she’s played.
“She’s heading to Southmere to serve as the ambassador for the Draconia Go Tournament.”
“I read about the Draconia Go Association’s event a few days ago.
“They’re hosting a national Go tournament soon.
“In the coming days, the Draconia Go Association’s president, Benjamin, and his students will hold an exhibition match in the Southmere region to promote the event.”
Watching Peggy’s group noisily disappear into the VIP passage, Robin shook his head. “All this fuss for an endorsement–it’s like watching a monkey show.”
Jonah chuckled. “She’s just an entertainer. Who cares about her? She’s too full of herself.”
Once Peggy’s entourage had cleared the way, Robin, Jonah, and Ferell proceeded into the airport.
The first–class cabin on their flight had only ten seats.
Unlike the economy cabin, first class was serene and quiet.

Robin, having been busy for two straight days and nights without rest, fell asleep as soon as he settled into
his seat.
“Hey, you three, get up! We need to switch seats!”
A rude voice abruptly woke Robin.
Opening his eyes, he saw a man in his thirties standing before him, accompanied by several women.
It was the same group they’d seen in the terminal–the one with Peggy.
Robin frowned in annoyance but ignored the man’s demand.
“I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear me?” the man raised his voice at Robin.
Jonah, clearly irritated, responded, “Sir, keep your voice down. We’re not switching seats.”
The man looked genuinely surprised. “You’re refusing to switch seats? Do you even know who we are?
“Well, I don’t have time to waste with uncultured people like you.
“Here’s the deal. We’ll trade you three business class seats and give you an extra 30 thousand dollars as compensation. Surely that’s fair?
“What is wrong with people these days? It’s obvious you’re just trying to milk us for money! Take out your phones, and I’ll transfer the payment to you right now!”
Robin finally opened his eyes. “Where did this lunatic come from? Get this trash out of here,” he addressed a flight attendant coldly.
Before the flight attendant could intervene, the man angrily jabbed his finger in Robin’s direction. “Did you just call me a lunatic? Do you even know who I am?”
Jonah stood up and brushed the man’s hand aside. “It doesn’t matter who you are. What matters is that you stop looking for trouble. Move along!”
The man puffed up with indignation. “I’m Hansel, a student of Mr. Benjamin Shorts, the president of the Draconia Go Association. I’m also the director of the Draconia Go Association’s External Affairs Department!”
Ignoring the flight attendant’s attempt to calm him, Hansel pushed her aside and continued his tirade.
“We invited Ms. Peggy of Dreamweaver Entertainment to be the ambassador for the Southmere Draconia
Go Tournament.
“We originally booked six first–class tickets, but Ms. Peggy ran into three close friends.
“Their seats were in business class, and it would be inconvenient for them to catch up if they were not seated together.
“So, we need you to move. Honestly, the way you’re acting is so uncultured!
“Besides, Ms. Peggy isn’t asking you to move for nothing. She’s willing to pay each of you 10 thousand dollars. That’s more than generous!
