Robin pointed to the chair opposite him and said, “Sit down, and tell me everything in detail.”
Anton respectfully took a seat.

“Twenty years ago, the Qacalisle Summit Meeting was the first global summit hosted by the Thalrex Order,” Anton began.
“The reason the Thalrex Order decided to link it with the tournament was because they needed individuals with exceptional strength, stamina, and military skills to enter their inner circle.
“During that meeting, Young Lord Dragon led a team to participate in the tournament organized by the Thalrex Order.
“The agreement was that the commanders of the top three winning teams would gain access to the final selection phase of the Thalrex Order and become eligible for further involvement in the Order’s top–level meetings.
“Those who passed the selection would become official members of the Thalrex Order.
“The tournament ended, and Young Lord Dragon emerged victorious, claiming the championship.
“He became the first person from outside the scientific community to enter the inner circle of the Thalrex Order.
“However, after returning and receiving orders to join the Southmere campaign, a series of inexplicable events began to unfold.
“Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon disappeared, a hundred guards went missing, and Dragon Manor was suddenly attacked!”
Anton’s eyes glinted with nostalgia and sorrow as he continued.
“These strange events caused significant concern among the high–ranking officials.
“Our Draconia’s Thalrex Order leaders were equally troubled.
“Consequently, we raised the issue with the headquarters, seeking answers.
“But due to the confidentiality agreement, the Thalrex Order gave no response. They simply claimed that the incident had nothing to do with them.
“However, some personnel from the order promised that if they uncovered anything about Young Lord Dragon’s disappearance, they would inform us immediately.
“Twenty years passed, and we received no answers.
“So, our leaders in Draconia decided to take matters into our own hands.
“We knew the Thalrex Order would eventually hold another summit, so we decided to approach this opportunity.

Finally, the Thalrex Order announced the reopening of the Qacalisle Summit Meeting after two decades.
“We decided to fight for a top–three finish, gain entry to the secretive meetings, and participate in the Thalrex Order’s mission
“What I didn’t expect, however, was that the Commander–in–Chief leading the team would be you!
“That was the best possible outcome.”
Robin looked at Anton, who was visibly excited. “Are you sure that the strange events from Dragon Manor 20 years ago are connected to the Summit Meeting?”
Anton paused for a moment, then answered, “For now, we still believe that’s the case. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain those bizarre occurrences.”
Robin nodded. “You’re right. Only by joining the Summit Meeting that we can find out what happened to my dad after he returned from the summit.
“I’m curious, is Draconia’s Thalrex Order a branch?”
Anton replied, “Yes, Master, Ramsey.”
“This all goes back to the first, Qacalisle Summit Meeting twenty years ago,” Anton continued.
“It was organized by a scientific organization composed of the world’s top scientists and special talents.
“This organization focuses on research related to worlds beyond our own.
“Many years ago, an astronomer from Ugonland proposed that their observation center had been receiving strange coded signals from outside our planet for over thirty years.
“They studied these signals for years and speculated that they were probing signals from extraterrestrial life.
“This research center believed that beyond Earth, there are other realms and dimensions, perhaps even parallel planets similar to Earth.
“Alien civilizations could be sending out exploration signals to learn about worlds beyond their own.
“Or perhaps a group of extraterrestrial invaders are behind it!
“If that’s the case, humanity on Earth may soon face the threat of destruction.”
Jethro was stunned. “Are you saying that the Thalrex Order is an organization studying alien worlds?”
Anton nodded. “Yes. From the moment humanity began on Earth, we’ve been threatened by alien civilizations.
“I once attended an internal seminar where a scientist from Tanqueria gave a talk. In his paper, he mentioned that throughout Earth’s human history, our civilization has been destroyed multiple times.
“Yet, our civilization has always managed to survive, uninterrupted.

“Why is that? I still don’t know the answer.
“The only way to uncover the truth is to enter the highest levels of the Thalrex Order’s international discussions.
“This is my basic understanding of the Thalrex Order’s role.
“Right now, no scientist in Draconia has access to this field.
“Our leaders hope that through this channel, we can secure a place in the Thairex Order.
“We’ve been waiting for this opportunity for 20 years!
“They hope that by succeeding in the upcoming tournament, we will naturally gain access to the Thalrex Order’s inner circle and take part in their mysterious work.
“At the same time, we will investigate why your family mysteriously disappeared after attending that summit.
“And who was involved in the massacre at Dragon Manor?
“This unresolved mystery has haunted the high officials of the Thalrex Order for two decades.
“The highest–ranking official in Draconia’s Thalrex Order passed away years ago.
“Before he died, he instructed his successor to do whatever it took to enter the core of the Thalrex Order and uncover the mystery that’s remained unsolved for twenty years.
“Whether we face fortune or misfortune, the people of Draconia must know the truth about this world’s future.
“Therefore, Master Ramsey, I am here on behalf of the high officials of the Thalrex Order to discuss the military martial tournament with you.
“I want to stress how important this tournament is.
. “Also, there have been major changes to the format and procedures for the tournament.
“I’ve received information from internal sources that the structure and rules of the military martial tournament will be presented at the Qacalisle Summit Meeting’s center.
“The idea is that each country’s team selects a few participants to compete in a simulated team warfare competition within a sealed mystic realm.
“The top three winners will be chosen to enter the Thalrex Order’s highest–level meetings.
“This live–action war game will involve not only individual combat but also team battles, exploration, treasure hunting, city conquest, and diplomatic coordination. In the end, it’s a comprehensive war simulation.
“Master Ramsey, I’m not in a position to make demands of you.
“But to uncover the truth behind the mystery of Dragon Manor’s case from 20 years ago, I request that you do everything possible to ensure we finish in the top three in this tournament!”

Anton stared desperately at Robin, murmuring, “Master Ramsey, I know… this request is too much. But, I still hope we can find a way to fight for third place.”
“Third?” Robin interrupted Anton, his tone dismissive. never consider anything less than first place.”
Anton’s eyes lit up, “So you mean?”
“Of course, I mean first place!” Robin replied indifferently. “In my world, it’s either first place or death.
“A soldier who doesn’t live for victory isn’t a real soldier
“Bravo! That’s great!” Anton leaped to his feet and rushed to Robin, excitedly grasping his hand. In his moment of joy, he even forgot his place.
Jethro quickly stood up, reminding him, “Mr. Mickton, please get a hang of yourself!”
In his excitement, Anton realized he had grabbed Robin’s arm without regard for hierarchy, shaking him like a child.
“Master Ramsey, I–I’m so happy.”
Robin shrugged and said, “Is this the mission you’re responsible for?”
Anton trembled as he spoke, “Dragon Lord has done so much for me, I just need to figure out what happened to him!
“If it was betrayal or a trap, I will do everything, even give my life, to avenge your family!”
Robin frowned slightly and stood up, patting Anton’s shoulder. “Do your research first. Revenge isn’t your responsibility. I’ll meet you at the Wolfsbane Summit’s military base tomorrow at five.”
With that, he turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Anton suddenly snapped to attention.
He bowed deeply toward Robin’s retreating figure as the setting sun cast long shadows across the room.
“Let’s go, Mr. Mickton, Master Ramsey will handle it personally, and everything will work out as planned.”
Jethro straightened his posture and gave Anton’s shoulder a pat, letting out a long breath.
It felt like the most satisfying meeting in the past twenty years of tournament–related discussions.
As they exited the meeting hall, Zayden, now recovered, boldly stepped into Robin’s path.
“Commander–in–Chief Ramsey, I want a fight with you! Since my debut, I’ve never been defeated!”
“No wonder you’re so cocky–you’ve never taken a good beating,” Robin said, raising an eyebrow. “You’re not even worthy of fighting me.”

Before Zayden could finish speaking, Robin casually waved his hand. “As you wish!”
Whoosh!
Zayden’s massive body shot backward like a cannonball disappearing just in front of the conference room door.
“Wow! That’s so cool!” Trix sighed, her lips parting as she watched Robin’s graceful retreat.
“This is my Mr. McDreamy!”
“How can he Be this strong?” Zayden struggled to rise, limping toward Trix.
He had completely forgotten the pain.
Following Trix’s admiring gaze, Zayden looked up at Robin’s towering figure as he walked away, muttering, “Who is this guy? Is he really the commander of the Special Operations Military Region?
“He doesn’t look that imposing, but how could his arm have so much strength? And his speed… it’s insane.”
“You have overestimated yourself!” Anton scoffed as he walked over. “Zayden, who do you think you are?

“If Commander–in–Chief Ramsey hadn’t held back, you’d already be finished.”
“Mr. Mickton, I–I understand now.” Zayden said respectfully. “Who is he really?”
“Divine Drakebane!” Anton sneered, patting Zayden’s shoulder.
“You’d better watch your step around Commander–in–Chief Ramsey, or you’ll end up getting beaten again.”
Zayden was left stunned and speechless.
“H–he’s Divine Drakebane?!” He looked once more at Robin’s retreating figure, his body trembling with excitement. “I–I got beaten by Divine Drakebane?
“This is amazing! I’m so happy!”
“You’re pathetic!” Anton shook his head. “Zayden, after all this time, you’re only just realizing how pathetic you are?”
“No! Andy, you don’t get it!” Zayden’s eyes gleamed. “You don’t understand–being beaten by the strongest fighter Ladmire, it’s an honor!”
“Did you just called me Andy?” Anton nearly lost his temper.
But when dealing with Zayden, a martial arts fanatic, one couldn’t expect him to behave like a normal
person.
Meanwhile, Trix was lost in her own world, dreaming. “He’s the guy I like! He’s the man of my dreams, I

Anton cleared his throat and reminded, “Stop being so self–absorbed. The dream guy might not even like you!
“This is so far out of your league, and you already think you’re in love?
“One glance at you, and you think you’re carrying his child?”
“Oh my god! Mr. Mickton, what are you talking about? Trix’s face turned crimson, her eyes filled with affection.
“Jeez, this is madness! Master Ramsey’s charm is just too much!” Anton muttered to himself as he walked out of the hall.
Jethro couldn’t help but chuckle.
He thought about his children. Both had changed so much since meeting Robin.
His son trained diligently every day.
His daughter, with a newfound focus, worked hard on everything from music and chess to painting and fashion.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed the influence of a role model could be this strong.
Sometimes, he even wondered–if Robin had appeared earlier, he wouldn’t have had to worry so much about his children.
Robin arrived at Casper’s study, exchanged a brief farewell, and left the manor.
Franco, Flint, and Jack had already contacted the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul. They would arrive in Brighton tomorrow morning to prepare for the tournament.
Robin had arranged for these twelve top fighters to head to the Wolfsbane Summit military base on the . outskirts of Brighton.
With only a week left until the tournament, he would have the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul personally trained the elite special forces handpicked by Gavin.
These special forces were the strongest fighters from Draconia, known for their individual skills and teamwork.
With the guidance of the Twelve Great Warriors, legendary fighters who had once shaken the world, Robin was confident these special forces would be able to defeat any opponent.
เ
Seven days of intense training would be enough to prepare them for whatever formidable opponents they might face.
Robin didn’t know how long he would be gone.
Before leaving, he contacted Marrisa, Brenda, and Renee, preparing to spend the evening with his family at the villa, enjoying a warm, reunified family dinner.

Along the way, Robin received several dinner invitations from the Kings, all of which he politely declined.
At that moment, he just wanted to hurry back to the one place that felt like his true home.
This home didn’t have to be huge or extravagant.
It only needed to have family waiting and caring for him. That was enough to make it more precious than anything else in the world.
It was the place where you’d hear endless nagging when you set out on a journey.
It was the place where there was always a door open when you returned.
There, you could let down your guard.
You could be free, without worry.
There, you could cry when you’re hurt, laugh when you’re happy, and know that someone would always care when you’re sad.
There, if you were injured or bleeding, you wouldn’t have to lick your wounds alone.
If you fell or failed, you wouldn’t feel hopeless, lost, or helpless.
That was home–the warm place filled with the people closest to you.
Robin rolled down the window, and the cool breeze of the evening filled the car, ruffling his dark, tousled hair and softening his usually stern smile.
This was the joy of going home, the lightness of his body when he went home.
For the first time in twenty years, Robin felt an overwhelming urge to return home.
“Ferell, step on it!” Robin urged with a grin.
“Yes, sir!” Ferell replied cheerfully, accelerating to nearly the maximum speed.
Ferell had been working with Robin for some time, but he’d never seen him this happy before.
The drive, usually taking half an hour, was done in ten minutes, and soon they arrived at their destination.
!
As Robin stood in front of the villa, looking at the warm lights shining inside and the people moving about, he felt a rush of warmth in his heart.
The cheerful voices from within brought a smile to his face.
He stood there for a moment, lost in thought.
This was the home he had dreamed of so many times as a child–a warm room, a bright light, and a family waiting for his return.
He opened the door, and the soft glow of the interior filled his eyes.

“Robin, you’re back!” Brenda stood up and walked over to him.

“We’re playing a card game!” Marrisa laughed. “This afternoon, Renee and Marge taught us the game. It’s

“Robin, do you know how to play?” Brenda asked, hanging onto his arm.
Robin didn’t want to spoil their fun, so he shook his head with a grin. “No, I don’t. You guys continue, I’ll just watch.”

“Alright, let’s start over,” Brenda said, pulling Rita and Marrisa back onto the floor.
“This hand, I’m the dealer!” Rita declared, tossing down a card. “A three!”
Marrisa looked at her hand and shook her head. “No thanks.”
Brenda blinked in surprise at Marrisa’s indifferent expression. “Rita played a three and you’re not taking it?”
“It’s too high a card for me,” Marrisa replied, shaking her head. “Brenda, it’s your turn.”
Brenda sighed, wondering how Marrisa could have such a terrible hand–she couldn’t even take a simple three.

“And now that my brother is here, what would he think?”
Marrisa rolled her eyes. “It’s just a card game. Who cares?”
Brenda puffed out her chest, looking around proudly. “Mrs. Lorelai taught me this afternoon that you need my kind of attitude to win!
“I can crush Rita’s three with my four Queens! It’s all about the attitude!”

Robin, Renee, and Daphne stared in shock.
This wasn’t your typical card game–it was more like a battle of nerves!
Marrisa raised her hand without hesitation. “Pass.”
Brenda scowled at Marrisa in displeased. “What kind of hand are you holding if you’re passing everything?”
Marrisa was about to lose it. “Brenda, Rita played a full house! What do you think I can do with that? You try it!”
Brenda pouted. “No thanks.”
Rita quietly smirked. “A four.”
Marrisa raised an eyebrow and then threw down a full house. “Full house!”
“She played a four, and you countered with a royal flush?” Brenda gaped at Marrisa’s bold move.

Marrisa followed up with a pair of fours, causing the room to erupt.
Renee covered her mouth, almost bursting into laughter.
Brenda and Rita stared, utterly confused.
“Marrisa, I have to hand it to you. Did you just split three cards of 4 and play them like that?
“Rita played a three, and you didn’t take it. Then, you laid down a four, and now you’re playing a pair of fours? What is this? Are you having a personality disorder?”
Marrisa glanced back at Robin and Renee, smiling. “I do what I want.”
“God dammit!” Brenda nearly burst into tears. “Marrisa, how are we even on the same side?”
Frustrated, she laid down a pair of twos. “I’ve only got one card left. Want it?”
Rita took a glance and shook her head. Brenda played her last card, and the round ended in disappointment. “I pass.”
Just as Brenda was about to play her final card and claim victory, Marrisa raised her hand. “Wait!”
Brenda was bewildered, not knowing what was coming. Before she could speak, Marrisa threw down a string of cards. “Four cards of nines, here’s a bomb for you!”

In that moment, surrounded by these happy faces, he found himself wishing he could tell himself, and everyone around him, that he no longer wanted to keep fighting.
If it weren’t for the tragedy from two decades ago, if it weren’t for the ugly, selfish battles fought by those seeking their own gain, perhaps, just perhaps, he, Rene, his parents, his grandparents, and Lorelai’s family could have lived in peace, free from worry, enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

“You raised Renee with everything you had. You’re basically her mother, and you’re like a mother to me,
too.
“You’re all like Marrisa to me, my family,” Robin added, his voice steady as he glanced around the room.
“Mrs. Lorelai, Marrisa,” Robin said, his eyes firm, “from today on, you’re all my family. This is your home as much as it is mine.”
Tears welled up in Lorelai and Marge’s eyes, and they nodded with gratitude. “Master Ramsey
Robin chuckled softly. “Mrs. Lorelai, enough with the formalities.”
“Yes, Mr. Robin!” Lorelai and Marge’s tears flowed freely, unable to hold back their emotions.

Robin raised a glass of strong liquor, downing it in one go. “Mrs. Lorelai, can you tell me more about my mother? I’ve never met her.”
Marge wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with both longing and sadness.
“Before Madam Suzanne married, the Suarezes were one of the prominent families in Brookhaven. Miss Suzanne was the most beautiful woman in the world.
“That year, there was unrest in the southeast. Young Lord Dragon was tasked with leading the Golden Dragon Guard to defeat the enemy. On his way back to the capital, they passed through Brookhaven.
“The Suarezes, along with other noble families, held a feast to celebrate Young Lord Dragon and the Golden Dragon Guard’s victory.
“At that time, Young Lord Dragon was at the peak of his power, full of vigor and energy.
“And Miss Suzanne… she was stunning, captivating everyone who saw her.
“These two incomparable souls were brought together by fate.
“Young Lord Dragon rolled out a hundred–mile–long red carpet to welcome Miss Suzanne to Brighton.
“On that day, Young Lord Dragon and Madam Suzanne walked down the red carpet, and their legendary love story, filled with unmatched elegance, became famous throughout Brighton …

Lorelai and Marge couldn’t help but reflect on the intense and bittersweet moments shared between Young Lord Dragon and Suzanne. The more they spoke, the more their emotions poured out.
They drank heavily, letting years of repressed memories spill forth, their words filled with both laughter
and sorrow.
As the years of shared joy resurfaced, so did the pain.
The more they talked, the more the sorrow seemed to food their hearts.
Robin could sense their deep yearning for his mother, Suzanne.
How could one endure so much heartache without being marked by it? Yet they had borne the pain, holding onto a flicker of hope for a future that had seemed so out of reach.
“M–Master Ramsey!” Marge stammered, her voice shaking, her eyes swollen from tears. “That night, I saw Madam Suzanne’s tragic death at Dragon Manor. Her body… it was covered in stab wounds from a brutal knife attack!
“For twenty years, every single night, I’ve dreamt of Madam Suzanne’s last cries. ‘Lorelai, find my children…
Crack! Robin’s glass shattered in his hand.
The villa, once filled with conversation, suddenly became eerily silent.
Renee grabbed Robin’s hand, tears streaming down her face.
“Renee, Mrs. Lorelai, we need to go to Dragon Manor Street now,” Robin said, his voice firm as he wiped the shards of glass off his hand with a towel that Ferell had given him. He gently pulled Renee along as they made their way to the door.
Ferell drove them quickly toward Dragon Manor Street
From a distance, Robin stared at the abandoned manor, which hadn’t opened its doors in twenty years. But he didn’t approach.
Guards still stood at the entrance, just as they had when Young Lord Dragon, Suzanne, and the others were still alive.
Now, the manor was in ruin, a shadow of its former grandeur, forgotten with the passing of time.
Lorelai, Marge, Robin, and Renee all got out of the car and stared at the familiar yet haunting sight before them,
Marge began speaking softly, recounting the days when their family was whole, when Robin and Renee were babies, and when the air was filled with love and happiness.
“Mr. Robin, when Young Lord Dragon had some free time, he used to take Madam Suzanne and the two of you on walks down the little alley behind Dragon Manor. Would you like to take a look?”
Robin nodded and held Renee’s hand tightly.

As they walked, Robin felt an odd sense of familiarity.

The surroundings stirred memories of times long past and she could almost hear the laughter of her parents as they walked with her and Renee down this very alley.
The alley, now quiet under the dim light of flickering lamps, seemed frozen in time.
Marge’s face softened as she pointed to the shops lining the street, telling them how vibrant and lively the alley once was.
“Twenty years ago, this alley looked the same, with lights flickering like this,” Marge said, her voice filled with nostalgia.
As footsteps echoed over the jagged cobblestones of the alley, it felt like time had folded in on itself, and Robin’s parents were still alive in the moment.
Yet, the familiar vendors who once brought life to the street had all but disappeared.

The alley was quiet, the night stil, but there was something in the air, as if the whispers of the past were still alive.
The memories of those graceful figures, so full of life then, now felt distant–like a fading dream.
“Master Ramsey, it’s starting to rain,” Ferell said, as he opened an umbrella.
Robin handed the umbrella to Lorelai and continued walking down the alley with Renee.
The light rain settled in, replacing the clear sky with a soft drizzle.
Robin breathed in deeply, the familiar scent of the alley filling him with memories of a time long gone. He shrugged off his outer jacket and draped it over both himself and Renee.
Renee smiled.
Looking at the two of them, Marge froze.
That year, that very night, Young Lord Dragon and Suzanne had wrapped them in jackets too, as they walked through the soft, endless rain …
Now, standing in the same alley, Robin could almost hear the sounds of happiness and laughter that once filled the air, from a family that had been torn apart by time.
That night had been Valentine’s Day…

The alley, quiet with the drizzle, carried the weight of old, unspoken farewell, as if a life and death separation was taking place in this very moment.
I wish I could meet you again, but I don’t know how this story ends…
The soft rain on Valentine’s Day night, yearning for what once was, seemed like the only option.
Walking down this old, forgotten road, now overtaken by weeds and mud, the stillness of the night was as lonely as the alley itself.
When Robin reached the end of the alley, he saw a line of military vehicles blocking the way.
“Master Ramsey!” Eleven vehicles pulled open their doors, revealing eleven stern–faced generals who stood at attention.
“We’re the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul. It’s an honor to meet you, Master Ramsey!” the generals spoke in unison.
Robin furrowed his brow. “Jack, what are you all doing here?”
Jack stepped forward. “Master Ramsey, we agreed to meet here tonight and wait for you… And we wanted

The alley seemed to freeze, as if trapped in the memory of that rainy night two decades ago–full of sharp and painful memories.
Robin looked at Jack and the eleven Great Warriors of Dragon Soul. They had fought by his father’s side for years.
“General Grayson, where’s the twelfth
Great Warrior?” Robin asked, concern in his voice.
Jack hesitated before answering. “Master Ramsey, the twelfth Great Warrior, Spike, is gravely ill.
“We’re still discussing who should visit General Delgado.”
Robin’s heart sank. “General Delgado is sick? Where is he?”
“After his last mission twenty years ago, General Delgado retired and returned to his hometown,” Jack explained.
“His hometown is about 30 miles east of Brighton, in Plemouth.
“Spike is currently in critical condition at Plemouth Hospital.”
Jack paused, his face serious.
Robin frowned. “What’s going on? What aren’t you telling me?”
Jack paused, looking uncertain. “Master Ramsey, you have more pressing matters. We didn’t want to trouble you with this … We can handle it ourselves.”
“What matters? Is it Spike’s issues?” Robin pressed.

Robin’s intense, lethal presence filled the air, palpable to all who were near.
“Master Ramsey,” Jack began, “Twenty years ago, General Delgado returned to the capital after completing his mission, only to discover something had gone terribly wrong at Dragon Manor. He went to the Inspection Bureau alone to seek answers, but none were given. His frustration in Brighton angered the high–ranking officials.
“He left Brighton quietly, with the help of General Monroe and a few others.
“General Delgado stood outside Dragon Manor the entire night, and by morning, he had vanished.
“Recently, we uncovered that General Delgado traveled to Plemouth two decades ago, assumed the name Dash Quinlan, and has lived there in seclusion with his family ever since.

“Yet, for nearly twenty years, Spike’s investigation led nowhere. The constant frustration took a toll on him, eventually leading to a grave illness.

“Both of them were capable, and they quickly expanded the business, doubling its size in just two years.
“But two months ago, disaster struck, Rylec disappeared, and Travis, along with his wife Madelyn, took their own lives.”
Jack sighed deeply. “Spike, already in poor health, has lost both of his children. He is now on the verge of death …
Robin’s voice was frigid. “Have you clarified the situation surrounding General Delgado’s family?”

“We just found out and are sending people to investigate,” Jack responded quickly.
Robin tapped a message into his phone, sending it to a secure intelligence network. “Investigate the cause of the bankruptcy of Plemouth’s Delgado Enterprise.”
The carriage’s wheels ground over the memories of the past, bringing them to the surface.
The night, heavy and suffocating, seemed to choke the lonely remnants of lost things and vanished people.
For several minutes, Robin remained silent, staring out the window at the muddy road, his face a mask of concentration.
The air inside the carriage was thick with tension. Every breath felt perilous.
Those minutes dragged on like hours.
Suddenly, the sharp ping of a new message shattered the oppressive silence.
Robin glanced at his phone, and a series of cold, harsh messages appeared on the screen.
“The Dixon and Cravens families of Plemouth had designs on Delgado Enterprise. During Dash’s illness, they set a trap to ruin the company, driving Travis and his wife to suicide, which led to the collapse of the
company.
“The collapse of Delgado Enterprise:
“The Dixon and Cravens families bribed six Plemouth banks, along with Herbert Lloyd, the Minister of Investment at Delgado Enterprise, to accept loans totaling 300 billion. The agreement required quarterly interest payments for ten years and full repayment at the end of the term.
“The entire 300 billion was obtained within a month.
“Herbert’s plan had the funds allocated for real estate, medical equipment, and international trade.

“Everything seemed fine until the money had all been allocated. Then, the banks suddenly terminated the loans, citing misuse of funds and suspicious investments, demanding full repayment within three months.
“What was once a thriving enterprise now faced a financial crisis.
“To make matters worse. Herbert tricked Travis into signing a loan agreement with local loan sharks for an additional 100 billion, sealing the company’s fate.”
Robin’s eyes gleamed with barely contained rage as he read through the details.
He inhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down, and continued reading.
“Camden Dixon, the eldest son of Dixon Group’s Pacific Enterprise, once intensely courted Rylee.
“When she rejected him, he turned to Lily Craven, who had always shown interest in him.
“Currently, Rylee’s cosmetic company is controlled by the Cravens, and the Dixon Group has seized Delgado Enterprise’s headquarters.
“Tomorrow at 9 AM, Camden will hold a press conference at Delgado Tower to announce the takeover of Delgado Enterprise.”
Robin closed his phone, his face an icy mask. “Jack, in the name of the Golden Dragon Order, send an immediate message to Plemouth’s defense captain. I want him at the Delgado’s hospital in one hour.”
“Right away!” Jack responded,iquickly sending out the orders.
In moments, Regional Commander Karter, overseeing Plemouth’s defense, sounded the rallying horn. A thousand guards began their march toward Delgado Enterprise Medical Group.
The night of Valentine’s Day deepened; the wind howled and the rain intensified.
Plemouth’s dark streets echoed with the sounds of revelry, love, and deception.
For the common folk, such matters–drunken joy and fleeting pleasures–were more pressing than distant struggles.
As long as survival was secured, food, drink, and entertainment were all that truly mattered.
The convoy of generals, their vehicles arranged with precision, came to a stop at the plaza across from Delgado Enterprise’s hospital.
Robin ordered everyone to remain in the vehicles.
Only Jack and Ferell accompanied him to the ICU on the third floor.
The three powerful figures strode through the hospital lobby, sending a chilling breeze through the space.
Such overwhelming presence!
Such poise and authority!
The families in the lobby, stunned by the sight, watched in awe.

St. Joshua Hospital was a major medical facility under the Delgado Enterprise, ranked among the top three in Plemouth.
Ferell opened the door to the intensive care unit.
The bright white lights cast a stark glow over the room, revealing an empty, lifeless hospital bed.
On that bed, a middle–aged man lay, his body trembling slightly.
It seemed as though some unseen force stirred within him, causing his tightly shut eyelids to flicker open.
“Spike, it’s me, Jack. Master Ramsey and I are here to take you home!”
Jack rushed to the bed and gently grasped Spike’s trembling hand, lifting it with care.
Once a hand that commanded authority and respect, having struck fear into many and secured countless victories that brought peace, it was now frail, powerless, and cold.
Jack’s eyes glistened as he held back tears.
Twenty years ago, he had left without a word.
Back then, Spike had been a major general–a strong, determined warrior, as solid as rock.
Now, he was weak, aged, and fragile, like old, rotting wood.
“Jack …
Spike’s pale lips barely moved as he tried to speak.
This man, one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, known for his unmatched resilience, could not form a full sentence.
Tears of helplessness welled in Jack’s eyes.
“Spike, Master Ramsey came to see you. You’re going to be alright.”
Robin took a white handkerchief from Ferell and gently wiped the tears from Spike’s face.
“Let me see!”
Spike’s eyes flickered, a glimmer of recognition shining in them as he locked onto Robin’s face.
Suddenly, his frail body shook violently. “M–Master Ramsey …”
Robin nodded reassuringly. “Don’t speak, and don’t get too excited. You’ll be fine. I’ll make sure of it!”
After a brief pause, Spike’s eyes calmed, though the sorrow in them remained, almost enough to bring Robin to tears.
Robin seemed to understand, gently patting Spike’s hand. “I’ve sent someone to find your daughter, Rylee. She’s still alive.”

The sound of a glass bottle shattering echoed through the room.
Robin turned to see a woman in her forties standing in the doorway, visibly shaken.
Her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at Jack and Robin.
Although her hair had grayed and her face was etched with sorrow, she still carried an air of grace and nobility.
“Y–you’re….
“Mrs. Delgado!” Jack immediately stood and walked toward the woman.
The newcomer was none other than Spike’s wife, Lucinda.
“General Grayson… wh–what’s going on?” Lucinda’s voice trembled, her eyes filling with tears.
Jack nodded. “Mrs. Delgado, please don’t be upset. We know everything.
“This is Master Ramsey. He’s here to see General Delgado!”
Lucinda was momentarily stunned, her gaze sweeping over Robin in disbelief. Then, tears poured down her face, and she bowed. “I–it’s an honor, Master Ramsey …

“Mrs. Delgado, please, get up,” Robin said, gently straightening her. “I’ve heard about your situation.
“The Delgados‘ affairs are the Dragon Palace’s concern! I’ll make sure Dixon and Cravens give you an explanation!
“Please rest for now. I’ll check on General Delgado. He will be fine.”
Jack added, “Mrs. Delgado, Master Ramsey’s medical skills are second to none. Spike will be alright.”
Lucinda could no longer hold back her grief and began to quietly sob.
Robin observed the Delgados‘ suffering with a heavy heart, feeling as if a dagger had pierced his heart.
“Hey, hey, hey … I was just waiting outside the pharmacy for you. How did you end up here so fast, woman!”

“Listen, the Cravens aren’t just taking the villa; we won’t pay a dime for it!”
“Oh? Does the Cravens think they can get away with this?” Robin stepped forward, positioning himself between Lucinda and the man. His eyes were cold as he glared at him.
“Master Ramsey … ” Lucinda bowed in apology. “I’m sorry to trouble you.
“Mrs. Delgado, please sit down. L’et Master Ramsey handle this.” Jack gently guided Lucinda to a chair beside the bed.
Only then did the man notice the two strangers in the room. “Kid, let me tell you, I’m Rafael Anderson, the legal representative for the Cravens!
“Ms. Lily wants that beachside villa, and it belongs to us!
“And Ms. Craven plans to move in tomorrow!”
“Is that so? Plemouth is home to such shameless people? Robbing others and still acting so bold?” Robin wiped his hands with a wet tissue, his expression grim.
Each time he had to hurt or kill someone, he felt an obsessive need to cleanse himself.
Killing such people disgusted him.
Rafael froze, then laughed. “In Plemouth, the Cravens do whatever they want! Kid, do you know? I love stepping on people! Especially when they’re like wounded tigers, hahaha …

“You’re disrupting the Cravens‘ business, and I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Karter froze, not fully understanding what was happening.
He had been so anxious about meeting the renowned Master Ramsey from Dragon Palace that he hadn’t noticed Rafael and the others in the room.
Karter glanced at Rafael; then nervously looked toward Robin.
Since Robin remained silent, Karter, as a mere Plemouth captain, dared not speak out.
When Rafael saw that Karter wasn’t responding, he stood up in anger and pointed at him. “What are you staring at?! Get out!”
“Take care of this jerk!” Robin’s sharp voice broke the tension.
Karter immediately understood what was going on.
On the way there, he had learned about Spike’s true identity.
He had been silently grumbling during the journey about how arrogant some people could be.
Just because you might think someone is weak and easy to push around doesn’t mean they’re not someone powerful you

The Dixons and the Cravens thought that because of their connections, they can steal Delgado Enterprise. But what they don’t realize is that they have sealed their own fate from the start–death and destruction.

They had come here simply to handle a property transfer, yet they found themselves face–to–face with the Captain of the Plemouth Guard.
Amidst the shock, Rafael finally took a proper look at Karter.
This captain had been featured countless times in Plemouth’s news–he was well–known to everyone.
He was the most powerful person in the Plemouth Guard.
Rafael and his men quickly bowed before Karter.
“Captain Lynch, I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize it was your esteemed presence. It was all a misunderstanding. Please show mercy!”

“You idiot, let me make this clear! Mr. Dash here is General Delgado, once a national hero!
“Plotting against a general’s family and trying to steal his property? You’re all dead men walking!”
Hearing this shocking revelation, Rafael nearly lost his mind.
Dash is a General?
How could I run into someone with such a distinguished background and military power?
What kind of bad karma have I accumulated to get into this situation?
At that moment, Rafael could only wish he could cry.

“In about five hours, he will awaken, as strong and courageous as he was two decades ago.”
Lucinda’s pent–up tears, full of both bitterness and hidden grief, began to fall.
As she gazed at Robin, her somber expression finally softened into a smile, one she hadn’t shown in a long time, as memories flooded her mind.
Suzanne would be at peace now.
Master Ramsey has grown into a man of integrity and loyalty just as he was in his youth, standing tall and steadfast
like a mountain.
With his strength, he will continue the legacy of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon, carrying their glory and achievements forward for future generations.
Suzanne can now rest in peace, knowing the future is in capable hands.
“Thank you, Master Ramsey,” Lucinda said while bowing deeply, her tears flowing like a steady rain outside the window.
Years had passed since she first married into the Delgado family.
Back then, Young Lord Dragon and Suzanne had attended their wedding, leading the Great Warriors of Dragon Soul and the Golden Dragon Guard.
At that time, Robin was still a baby.
Lucinda remembered the moment she had taken the infant from Suzanne’s arms, a memory that felt so
recent it could have been yesterday.
Robin gently helped Lucinda to her feet. “Mrs. Delgado, I’ve just received some news. Travis and Madelyn’s son, Joshua, has been found.
“Your family’s nanny, Mia, took a million dollars and fled Plemouth with your grandson, Joshua, just before Travis and Madelyn’s deaths.
“Mia had planned to sell Joshua to human traffickers overseas, but she was intercepted.”
Lucinda froze, shock in her eyes. “Master Ramsey, what has happened to Joshua now?”
Robin reassured her, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Delgado. Mia is in custody and being brought back to Plemouth.

Lucinda clasped her hands over her face and began to weep.

The woman who had been so strong for so long finally broke down, her sobs loud and uncontrollable.
Robin let out a quiet sigh and stepped onto the ICU balcony.
Clutching the Golden Dragon pendant in his pocket, he stared solemnly at the fading gray sky.
The soft rain, which had been falling all night, was finally letting up,
Plemouth, washed clean by the rain, felt refreshed and calm.
The honking of car horns echoed through the air, splashing rainwater on the streets.
The trees lining the roadside, still holding onto the last remnants of last night’s rain, seemed to grasp fleeting moment of time, caught in the shifting light.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A loud knock at the door interrupted Robin’s thoughts.
He frowned and turned toward the ICU room.
A middle–aged man barged in, making himself at home on the sofa.
The man casually waved a document, the St. Joshua Hospital transfer agreement, in front of Lucinda.
the
“Mrs. Delgado, don’t make this difficult for me. We both know how bad things are for Delgado Enterprise. If this continues, St. Joshua Hospital will be dragged down with it.
“Besides, the hospital will keep running, no matter who owns it.
“The Dixons are offerin
a million–dollar transfer fee. At least it will help you out for a while-”
“Enough!” Lucinda wiped away her tears, furious.
“St. Joshua Hospital was a gift from Travis and Madelyn to Joshua! Now that they’re gone, I’ll never transfer it to you!”
“Ha! Lucinda, Joshua is dead. What’s the point of keeping this hospital?” Lares sneered.
“Lares, you ungrateful coward!” Lucinda shot back, her voice trembling with anger.
“Do you remember how Delgado Enterprise helped you in the past?
“Now that it’s fallen, you’re here to take advantage, aren’t you?
“Ask yourself–doesn’t your conscience hurt?
“I won’t discuss how others treated Delgado Enterprise, but Lares, have you really forgotten?” Lucinda’s voice grew cold. “Two years ago, if Spike and my son Travis hadn’t saved you, would your family still be here today.”
Lares chuckled darkly. “Lucinda, I’m a doctor. Conscience doesn’t matter to me. What matters is reality.

“When I’m holding a scalpel in my hand and know a patient can’t be saved, I feel nothing. All I care about is what’s real.
“My choices have nothing to do with conscience. It’s all about self–interest. Do you understand?”

“Investigate him,” Robin said, leaning against the window rail, his cold gaze fixed on Lares.
“Right away, Master Ramsey,” Jack responded immediately.
Two minutes later, a response came from Lord Westeria’s intelligence network.
“Master Ramsey, this man is Lares Shaw, the general manager of St. Joshua Hospital Group. Two years ago, he was the chief surgeon at Harmony Hospital in Blisston. During one of his surgeries, the patient died.
“The deceased was the only heir to a prominent family in Blisston. The family head was furious about the medical error and vowed to kill Lares and his family.
“After hearing this, Lares fled Blisston with his family, eventually ending up in Plemouth. “He’s clever. Knowing that Delgado Enterprise was Plemouth’s richest, he approached Travis.
“Travis, moved by his medical skills and feeling sympathetic, used some connections to smooth things over. He spent 100 million to settle the matter and secured Lares a position at St. Joshua Hospital.
“For the past two years, Lares has performed well, and thanks to his abilities, Travis made him the hospital’s manager and even gave him a ten percent stake.
“Now that Delgado Enterprise has fallen, the Dixon Group, one of Plemouth’s two most powerful families, is trying to seize St. Joshua Hospital.
“The Dixons have offered Lares an additional five percent of the original shares if he can convince Lucinda to sign the transfer agreement.
“Faced with such a tempting offer, Lares quickly agreed and aligned himself with the Dixons.
“He arrived this morning to get Lucinda to sign the transfer agreement, offering a million–dollar fee.
“The current market value of St. Joshua Hospital is 30 billion.”
Robin smiled coldly.
It seems true–when the walls crumble, everyone rushes in to take a bite.
Delgado Enterprise has just fallen, and already, these vultures are swooping in, eager to devour everything.
“Mrs. Delgado, please have some breakfast,” Robin said as he returned to the ICU, gesturing to the meal Ferell had brought.

Jack walked to the dining table and gestured for Lucind to sit and eat, completely ignoring Lares, who lounged on the couch as if invisible.
Ferell set the table for Robin, Jack, and Lucinda. “Mrs. Delgado, it’s time for breakfast.”
Lucinda hesitated for a moment, then joined Robin and Jack at the table, digging into the extravagant spread.
“Huh?” Lares, feeling completely confused, looked around.
The group was sitting at the coffee table, casually having breakfast, and no one acknowledged him!
The Delgados are struggling, and I’ve come to oversee the stock transfer, presenting myself as a benefactor.
Yet now, Lucinda dares to ignore me? This is outrageous!
Even though the stock transfer of St. Joshua Hospital is clearly a maneuver by the Dixons to take control, Lucinda should have no choice but to accept, given the fragile state of Delgado Enterprises.
On top of that, the Dixons are offering a hefty sum of a million dollars for the transfer.
Whether or not they would actually pay,
remains unclear.
“Sigh… What’s your problem, woman? This issue hasn’t been resolved yet!”
Lares, enraged at being dismissed by Lucinda, stood up and tore off the mask of civility. He pointed at Lucinda and shouted, “Are you going to sign this stock transfer or not?”
He continued, his voice rising, “Let me be clear, Lucinda, if you don’t sign today, I’ll have someone throw Dash out of the hospital! Let’s see which hospital in Plemouth will take him in then!”
“Is that so? Go ahead, try it!” Robin wiped his mouth calmly with a napkin, stood up, and turned to face
Lares.
Robin, significantly taller than Lares, exuded an aura that immediately subdued Lares‘ arrogance.
Instinctively, Lares took a step back.
Regaining his composure, he said, “Who are you? Get out of my way! I’m having a serious conversation with her!”
Robin took two steps forward, forcing Lares to retreat even further.
“A serious conversation?” Robin pointed at Lares as he sat on the couch. “Go ahead, let’s hear it. What’s so urgent?”
Lares froze.
He studied the young man in front of him, feeling a palpable force coming from him without a trace of
anger.
For a moment, Lares felt uncertain about his identity.

But then, remembering he wasn’t alone, Lares felt emboldened. The Dixons and Cravens had his back, and with the Dixon Group’s power in Plemouth, taking down a couple of reckless kids would be a walk in the park!
Straightening up, he pointed at Robin with newfound confidence. “Kid, don’t try to intimidate me!
“I have the Dixon Group behind me! The Dixon family is not some small–time player you can mess with!
“If you want to live a little longer, you’d better get lost!
“The Dixon Group’s decisions can’t be stopped by anyone!
“Whether you want to or not, this transfer agreement is getting signed today!”
Robin snapped his fingers. “No, it isn’t.”
Lares froze, unsure of what to do next. “Wh–who do you think you are?”
With a blank expression, Robin pointed at Ferell. “Give him a slap, then tell him who I am!”
Slap, slap, slap!
Before Lares could react, Ferell grabbed his hair and started slapping his pudgy face with force.
“Grovel!”
Ferell stomped on Lares‘ leg. “How dare you offend Master Ramsey of Dragon Palace! You’re asking for trouble!”
Lares, completely stunned by the slaps, still tried to make sense of what was happening.
After a moment, he looked up at Robin.
“Fine, fine! You guys are playing games with your lives. Let me tell you–the Dixons have already used their connections. Even if you don’t sign the agreement, the hospital will still be theirs!”
In his mind, Lares dismissed the mention of “Master Ramsey of Dragon Palace” as nonsense.
No one of that caliber would be involved with Delgado Enterprises.
With the Dixon and Craven families teaming up Delgado Enterprises is doomed.
This kid must be trying to deceive me with some elaborate lie. How pathetic!
“Master Ramsey!” Karter rushed into the intensive care unit. “The Dixons, the Cravens, and everyone scheming against Delgado Enterprises are under surveillance. What should we do with them?”
Noticing Lares groveling on the floor, Karter froze for a second.
Lares instantly recognized Karter.
He had personally treated Karter, the Captain of the Plemouth Guard, and knew exactly who he was.
Now, hearing Karter address this young man as “Master Ramsey” with the utmost respect, Lares‘

In an instant, he felt utterly defeated.

His body went limp, a cold sweat breaking out all over him as he was consumed by panic and confusion.
For the second time in his life, he felt true despair.
Three years ago, he had barely survived the Blisston disaster.
When he was in a dead end, Delgado Enterprises had given him a second chance.
That was how he had earned the wealth and status he held now.
Surviving that disaster, he had even managed to live more luxuriously than before.
But now, could he survive this?
He had betrayed those who helped him, trampled on those who had given him a hand how could he live with that?
The person in front of him wasn’t just some head of a top–tier family like Brighton. He was a supreme leader!
Lares immediately dropped to the floor. “Master Ramsey, I didn’t know it was really you mercy. I’ll go tell the Dixons right now. I won’t cooperate with them anymore…
…
Please, show
Robin ignored him and looked at Karter, “You can just monitor them. Take down both families; we don’t need you to do anything else.”
“Got it, Master Ramsey!” Karter responded.
In that moment, everything clicked.
The forces in Plemouth were already aligning, each preparing to devour the assets of Delgado Enterprises Most of Delgado Enterprises‘ holdings had already been seized by the Dixon and Craven families.
Other families, lower–tier but still powerful, along with former high–ranking executives from Delgado Enterprises, were waiting for their turn, ready to snatch up the leftovers after the Dixons and Cravens had their fill.
What Karter hadn’t expected was that Lares would be the one to bring down the final blow.
He knew the truth about Lares and Delgado Enterprises.
Without the Delgados, Lares would have been dead two years ago.
Now, in the midst of their downfall, Lares, who had once been helped by the Delgados, should havė at least refrained from adding to their misery. Instead, he was ready to strike the final blow.
This wasn’t something normal people.would do!
