Finnley took a brief pause before flashing a smile.
“Ms. Powers, I can understand why you’re upset. After all, Delgado Enterprise is something you’ve spent twenty years building from scratch.
“Delgado Enterprise has made countless contributions to Plemouth, benefiting the city in numerous ways.
“The Plemouth Bridge, two elementary schools, a welfare center, a retirement home, and numerous charitable projects.
“Everything Delgado Enterprise has done is visible to all of Plemouth.

“Lucinda, by acting impulsively and bringing in Captain Lynch and others to stir things up, you’re making a huge mistake!”
Rylee shot him a scornful look. “Finnley, you might be the head of Plemouth’s Business Alliance, but you’re morally bankrupt and utterly lawless.
“You are the one manipulating the market, destroying the market, and bringing Delgado Enterprise to its
demise!
“I honestly don’t understand how someone like you, full of corruption and deceit, can still stand here pretending to be a moral authority!
“You know exactly how Delgado Enterprise ended up like this!”
Finnley furrowed his brow and sighed. “Rylee, you’re still too young to understand.
“I know it’s hard for you to see Delgado Enterprise and your family in such a state.
“But you should be thankful to the Dixons. They stepped in and saved the company from complete collapse, at least.”
Rylee forced a bitter smile. “Hypocrite! Full of lies! You old fool, do you really think I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind the scenes?
“The Dixons, the Cravens, all of you schemed to bring down Delgado Enterprise!
“You deliberately harmed Travis and Madelyn! You’re nothing but a murderer, a beast!”
“Fine, fine. You don’t get it. I won’t waste my time talking to you!” Finnley’s eyes narrowed with venom. “Carl, tell her exactly what happened with Delgado Enterprise!”
Carl’s expression darkened. “Rylee, if you think the Dixons taking over Delgado Enterprise was a bad thing, then why doesn’t Delgado Enterprise pay back the 100 billion they owe the Darelin Crew?”

“You clearly signed a ten–year loan contract with Delgado Enterprise, yet after the funds were transferred, barely three months later, you started demanding repayment!
“And then, you had the nerve to claim Delgado Enterprise violated the terms, demanding early repayment to avoid risk.‘ How convenient, right?
“You’re nothing but a pack of thugs! You put on your fancy suits and talk sweetly, but you’re all just dressed–up animals!”
The six bank presidents seethed with anger, pointing at Rylee. “We won’t argue with you. We have other matters to attend to, Mr. Sablan and Mr. Dixon, so we are departing.”
The bank presidents quickly tried to leave.
“Stop! Did I say you could leave?” Robin snapped, coldly glaring at them.
“Wh–what power do you have to stop us?”
“Stay put!” Karter barked, signaling the six bodyguards to block their path.
“Captain Lynch, what do you think you’re doing?” The bank presidents were furious. “You’re acting unlawfully. We’ll report you to the city government!
“Paying a debt is only right! Delgado Enterprise borrowed money from our bank, and now we’re demanding repayment early. It’s legal and reasonable!
“Does Delgado Enterprise think they can avoid paying their debt?”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t Delgado Enterprise already used high–interest loans to settle the bank’s debt?
“Yeah! So why are you still holding us here?” The bank presidents began dialing their higher–ups.
Robin gave a cold smile. “I’m keeping you here for some revenge. Don’t you sharp minds realize it yet?
“Y–you’re taking personal revenge! This is illegal!” the bank president shouted.
Robin smirked. “I know you’ve been scheming behind the scenes with Delgado Enterprise’s loans!
“Since the law couldn’t bring Delgado Enterprise justice private revenge is not just justified–it’s noble!
“Grovel! You bunch of scheming, well–dressed animals!
With a sharp order from Robin, the six bank presidents were forced to the ground.
No matter how they struggled, they couldn’t rise.
“Wh–what did you do to us? I’ll sue you in Brighton!”
Robin waved his hand dismissively. “Slap them! Until they stop talking!”

Without hesitation, the six bodyguards swung their arms, delivering a series of harsh slaps to the six bank presidents, their gold–rimmed glasses shaking with every hit.
The sound of the slaps echoed, and the entire area fell into a stunned silence.
Who were these people?
The financial giants of Plemouth, reduced to a bloody mess.
Two minutes later, the once–proud bank presidents were begging for mercy.
Finnley, Madden, and Carl stood frozen in shock.
Finnley took a deep breath, finally shouting, “Who do you think you are to act so recklessly? Do you even know what you’re doing?
“This is illegal!”
“Are you deaf?” Robin pulled out a wet napkin to clean his palms. “Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?
“When Delgado Enterprise tried to talk law with you, you used underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
“Now that I’ve used private revenge, do you still want to talk about the law? Are you out of your mind?”
With a swift slap, Robin sentFinnley flying.
The crowd gasped in shock.
This man is ruthless.
Finnley is the true big shot in Plemouth!
A man with connections everywhere, and this guy has the nerve to hit him?
This guy is clearly out to bring down every major player in Plemouth!
Robin wiped his hands, pointing at the bloodied Finnley. “A bunch of lowlifes, still trying to lecture me on the law!
“Fine! Once my anger is spent, we can talk about the law!”
Just then, two men emerged from the crowd and approached Carl. Pointing at Robin, they said, “Carl, it’s that guy who crippled Tres. He told us to pass along a message to you: Stay here, and you’ll die.”

The once silent plaza was shattered by the loud, sharp voices of two Darelin Crew henchmen, their words echoing through the air.
All eyes shifted to Carl, the notorious underground kingpin of Plemouth.
The shocking incident with the six bank presidents and the head of the Business Alliance had occurred so suddenly that the crowd had nearly forgotten about Carl, the leader of Darelin Crew.
Carl was a name feared in Plemouth, a figure whose influence could easily wipe out anyone in his path.
Even the city’s most powerful figures were forced to show him deference.
His involvement in the Delgado Enterprise scandal was undeniable, and now, as he hea loudly announce that Tres had been gravely injured by Robin and that Carl himself wa to the plaza to face death, a wave of humiliation hit him.
This was a disgrace unlike any he had ever known in his long reign in the underworld.

In the past, Carl would have exploded in fury at such disrespect, immediately retaliating with vengeance.
But today, the situation was different
The show of strength before him was far too overwhelming for someone like Carl to challenge.
No matter how powerful Carl was, he knew better than to go up against the national hero.
At best, he could assert his dominance over civilians using underhanded methods, but to confront someone like Karter?
That would require an ally even stronger than himself,
The tension in the plaza was palpable. Karter, with all his power, was clearly acting on orders from someone much more influential than the mayor of Plemouth–possibly even someone from the highest ranks in Brighton.
Carl wasn’t a fool.
He understood that making a move now would be like walking straight into a death trap.
He knew exactly who Finnley, the head of the Plemouth Business Alliance, was.
There were times when even the deputy mayor had to bow to him.
And the young man standing before him, the one who dared to strike Finǹley, was clearly working with a force far beyond Carl’s reach.
Carl had played this game long enough to know that power was about knowing when to retreat, not just viciousness.
Engaging in conflict with an individual possessing greater authority would ultimately result in disaster.
The plaza was thick with onlookers now, and Carl realized he had no way out.

The young man before him was making a bold statement today. Carl knew things could spiral out of control quickly.

But before he could take another step, Ferell stepped forward, blocking his path. “Master Ramsey said crawl over. Are you deaf?”
Eerell’s sharp tone struck Carl like a thunderclap.
Though he had faced death many times, the murderous intent radiating from this young man sent a chill down his spine.
It wasn’t just hostility–it was pure bloodlust, so thick it seemed tangible.

Carl, despite his position as Plemouth’s underworld king, felt the weight of this threat pressing in on him. He had never experienced anything like this before.
“Are you talking about me?” Despite everything, Carl still carried himself with the imposing aura of a top
boss.
Ferell snapped coldly, “If not you, who else? Now crawl over here!”
Carl, the underground king of Plemouth, was known for his patience.
But faced with such blatantly insulting words from Ferell, he couldn’t hold back his fury any longer. “Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that?!”
Before Carl could react, Ferell slapped him hard across the face, the force of the blow making his head snap back. “You want to die? I’ll make that happen.”
With a swift kick, Ferell sent Carl crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.
Robin stood silently, cold and composed. “You’re Carl, the leader of Darelin Crew?”
Carl, writhing in pain, was about to strike back when Ferell’s foot landed on his shoulder with a punishing force.
Answer Master Ramsey,” Ferell demanded, his voice icy “Now!”
It took Carl’s two henchmen a moment to process what had happened. but once they did. they roared.

Ferell wasted no time. With a flick of his wrist, his blade sliced through the throats of Carl’s henchmen, blood spurting as they crumpled to the ground, lifeless.
The crowd gasped in shock, unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
In broad daylight, two of Darelin Crew’s loyal men had been killed without hesitation.
It was obvious they were not joking around.
Carl stood paralyzed, his face drained of color as he watched his men fall. The reality of confronting true danger hit him like a wave.
His voice barely a whisper, Carl stammered, “Wh–what are you doing to me?”
Robin’s response was as cold as ice. “Delgado Enterprise owes you 100 billion?”
“Y–yes!” Carl quickly blurted out, panic evident in his voice.
“Bring Herbert here!” Robin commanded.
Two guards in blue uniform, dragged a large, overweight man into the plaza. It was Herbert, the head of the investment department at Delgado Enterprise.
“Tell us everything. How did you set up Travis and his wife? How did you use the bank’s 300 billion to play them?”
Trembling, Herbert explained how he, along with Finnley, Madden, the Cravens, and Darelin Crew, had schemed to use the 300 billion to trap Travis. They had fabricated a loan of 100 billion, pretending to help them under the pretense of alleviating the bank’s pressure, only to entangle Delgado Enterprise in Darelin Crew’s debt trap.
As Herbert revealed the entire conspiracy, the crowd slowly began to grasp the full scale of the betrayal.
The fall of Delgado Enterprise wasn’t just bad luck—it had been orchestrated by these few people on the
scene.
Robin paused for a moment before asking coldly, “Now, tell me, how did Travis and Madelyn die?”
Carl, drenched in cold sweat, hesitated. “They … they committed suicide by jumping from a building. It‘ had nothing to do with me.”
Robin snapped his fingers and crushed Carl’s ankle with a vicious stomp. A sickening crack echoed through the plaza.
Carl’s scream filled the air, his voice rising in agony.
“Answer me!” Robin demanded, his foot now pressing on Carl’s other leg.
Carl, writhing in pain, gritted his teeth. “I don’t know… Th–they were suicidal. They jumped.”
“Try again!” Robin repeated. his voice a frigid command, as he stomped down on Carl’s second leg with

“Don’t try to act like you’re some kind of saint in front of me! If I go down today, you’ll go down too!”
Finnley was seething, trembling with rage. “F–fine! You’ve got guts, Carl! But the deaths of Travis and his wife? That’s the Darelin Crew’s mess, not mine!
“I had no part in Delgado Enterprise’s fall! Why would I kill them? This is insane!”
Hearing this, Madden scowled, his face twisted with anger. “Mr. Sablan, you’re lying! You were the one pulling the strings with Delgado Enterprise from the start. How can you say you had no part in it?!
“You’re the one who used the bank’s capital to get into Delgado, only to shift the blame to the Darelin

“When Delgado’s finances were crumbling, you used the Cravens to make sure their stock crashed.”
“And then, when the timing was right, you suggested having Darelin Crew take out Travis and his wife…

Robin stepped forward, grabbing Lucinda by the arm and pulling her back. “Mrs. Delgado, don’t do this.”
Ferell moved forward, offering Robin a gleaming battle sword.

And yet, he had dared to provoke him earlier.

A chilling, almost sinister atmosphere hung over the plaza in front of Delgado Tower.
Anyone familiar with Dash knew him as Lucinda’s husband, the father of Travis and Rylee. Beyond that, little was known about this quiet, reserved man in his middle years.
Twenty years ago, Lucinda was the picture of grace and success in Plemouth, only in her early twenties. She had transformed Delgado Enterprises from a small venture into the city’s largest conglomerate, and her meteoric rise quickly caught the attention of Plemouth’s elite.
People couldn’t understand how someone as accomplished, beautiful, and brilliant as Lucinda could be married to Dash, a seemingly meek and unambitious man.

Whispers began to circulate about a mysterious figure always lurking in the shadows, a master of unmatched skill who ensured that any threat to Lucinda was swiftly neutralized.
After many failed attempts, even the most influential people in the city learned to keep their distance from Lucinda and Delgado Enterprise.
When the Dixons and the Cravens set their sights on Delgado Enterprise, it was during a time when Lucinda had withdrawn from public life for three years, caring for her ailing husband.
But with Dash’s ruthless actions and his powerful background now known to all, it became clear: The enigmatic protector of Lucinda was none other than Spike.
The revelation hit hard, especially for those who had previously sought to bring down the Delgado family They realized they had narrowly escaped the same fate as the Dixons and the Cravens.
If they had pushed too hard, they might have ended up like Camden and Carl–dead.
Madden and Finnley’s doomed fate only intensified the terror that gripped the city.
Many had thought that Lucinda, a single mother clinging to her company, was vulnerable. They were wrong. Lucinda’s husband, Spike, wasn’t just any man–he was a national hero with immense power and influence.
The balance of power had shifted dramatically.
The very men who had sought to crush the Delgados had instead slammed into a wall of resistance.
Now that Spike had returned with vengeance in his heart, the elite of Plemouth were filled with dread.
Whispers flew as people hastily distanced themselves from the fallen families, terrified of being linked to their downfall.
Finnley and Madden, now realizing the magnitude of their mistake, could only regret their actions.
If they could turn back time, they would never have dared to challenge a national hero.

With Delgado Enterprises in ruins, the family shattered and Spike’s children and grandchildren either dead or missing, the possibility of Spike showing any mercy seemed utterly impossible.
Even Finnley and Madden struggled to accept that there was any hope left.
Though they were unfamiliar with the famed Twelve Great Warriors from Dragon Palace, they had heard the stories.
The legendary warriors were said to be unstoppable, mythic figures.
Never had they imagined they would face one of them
In the past, Finnley and Madden had secretly plotted, confident they could crush anyone they deemed beneath them.
Now, they understood just how wrong they had been.
Madden, watching his son perish before his eyes, glared at Spike in outrage. “You’re a national hero! How can you disregard the law and kill my son?”
“The law?” Spike sneered. “I don’t need laws to deal with evil. Honor, fame, success–none of that matters

“All I know is that the Dixons will pay for plotting against my family.”

Before Madden could utter another word, Spike’s knife flashed, slicing his throat open.

“Shut up with your pleas!” Spike hissed, his voice dripping with contempt. “You scum don’t deserve mercy”
With a single, brutal step, Spike crushed Finnley’s neck twisting it with horrifying force.
The plaza was frozen in terror. No one had ever witnessed such a brutal, merciless act.
Meanwhile, Lily, lying motionless on the ground, was paralyzed by fear. With the Dixons, Finnley, and Carl all dead, she wondered if she would be next. Would Spike show any mercy to the Cravens?
She dared not make a sound, desperately trying to remain invisible in the hope of avoiding becoming his next target.
Spike slowly turned, his bloodshot eyes burning with rage as he locked onto Lily. He was like a predator, -covered in blood, a weapon in his hand, stalking her with terrifying purpose.
Just then, a Mercedes SUV screeched to a halt in the plaza, its tires screeching and shaking the ground. Two bodyguards rushed a middle–aged woman and a small child toward Robin.
“Master Ramsey, Mr. Joshua is here!” they announced.

Robin helped Spike up, patting his shoulder. “General Delgado, you’ve suffered enough. Stand up and take care of the aftermath for your son and daughter–in–law

“You treacherous woman, I treated you like family, and you betrayed us in our time of need!”
“Please, spare me!” Mia pleaded, struggling to break free.
“I had no choice! Lily forced me to take Joshua! She threatened me–said she’d kill me if I didn’t help her sell him to traffickers!”
Spike laughed bitterly. “You lying filth! You took the money from her and did the unthinkable. Now, you’ll pay!”
In one swift motion, Spike snapped Mia’s neck, tossing her lifeless body aside.
Before Lily could react, Spike’s boot slammed into her throat, choking the life out of her.
Lily had spent twenty years plotting against Rylee, filled with hate. She thought that with the downfall of Delgado Enterprises, she would finally have her revenge. But in the end, everything had turned against

The air, thick with the scent of blood and the sharp tang of burning, seemed to shimmer under the midday heat.
Standing amidst the bloodstained scene, Spike appeared almost otherworldly, as, if a wild predator had
emerged from the shadows. His figure radiated an aura of raw, untamed power, a predator poised to strike.
The sight of him sent a ripple of fear through the crowd, each person trembling before his fierce presence.
No one in Plemouth had anticipated such a brutal resurgence from the once–fallen Delgado Enterprise. The masterminds behind the plot to ruin it–Finnley, Madden, and the Cravens–had met a fate of their own making.
What was meant to be a calculated murder had turned into their own tragic undoing.
A man seeks wealth, but he must walk the path of honor.
When one strays from the righteous way, their downfall is inevitable.
In the midst of this grim reality, two guards clad in blue hurried to Robin’s side.
“Master Ramsey, the Cravens the Dixons, and Finnley’s family have all been dealt with.
“Everyone involved in the plot against Delgado Enterprise has been executed.”
Robin nodded under the harsh sunlight and took the bloodied blade from Spike. He gave him a firm pat on the shoulder. “Return to the others.”
“Understood!” Spike quickly rejoined the ranks of the Twelve Great Warriors.
Karter commanded the Plemouth guards to clear the plaza of the bodies and blood.
At the same time, Atlas and other high–ranking officials from Plemouth approached Robin. “Master Ramsey, several banks in Plemouth have been involved in unethical practices, causing great financial damage to Delgado Enterprise. The headquarters have taken full control of the matter.
“The heads of these banks have been reported, and tomorrow, they will stand trial in Brighton’s First Court of Law, facing charges of bribery and corruption
“Based on the evidence, all six bank heads are likely to be sentenced to death.
Robin gave a brief nod. “Mr. Ziegler, thank you for your work.
“Before the trial begins, ensure my opinion is clear–those corrupt officials must face the harshest punishments!
“I have all the evidence ready. Just follow through with the legal process and ensure they receive the death penalty!”

They had no desire to attract attention.
If Robin turned his focus on them, they wouldn’t stand a chance. If they were caught, they might face
execution.
The six bank heads, desperate and on their knees, attempted to make a plea to Robin.
But Atlas/swiftly ordered his men to drag them away, locking them in prison transport.
The bloody vendetta had come to a close.
City officials requested that Lucinda and Rylee stay behind to help restore Delgado Enterprise.
At this moment, the properties of the Dixons, the Cravens, and the Finnley families were in urgent need of leadership.
Plemouth had decided to trust Lucinda with integrating these assets into Delgado Enterprise, recognizing her and Rylee’s management expertise.
By taking control, they would prevent the collapse of Plemouth’s entire economy.
Lucinda and Rylee agreed to stay in Plemouth, continuing the effort to rebuild Delgado Enterprise and its affiliated industries.
After handling these matters, Robin, accompanied by the Twelve Great Warriors and the Northlorn fleet, headed for the Wolfsbane Summit military training base in Brighton.
As the grand convoy slowly moved out of the plaza, onlookers couldn’t help but gaze
in awe.
The Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul were reunited after two decades!
It was a moment of great pride for Dragon Palace, a symbol of Draconia’s strength.
Two long decades of restraint, all for this one moment when the king would return to claim his place.

At precisely noon, the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul‘ convoy entered the Wolfsbane Summit military training base in Brighton.
The Eight Great Royal Houses‘ Senior Generals, along with senior officers from the Special Forces and elite trainees, awaited on the training ground.
When the Twelve Great Warriors disembarked from their vehicles, cheers rang out from the crowd!
The air was filled with the sound of twenty cannon blasts as the warriors quickly gleaming uniforms.

The twelve lieutenant generals marched forward, standing at attention before Robin. “Master Ramsey, the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul are here. Please, give your orders!”
“Fall in!” Robin’s command rang out, and the Twelve Great Warriors stood at attention before the eight generals, saluting sharply.
Robin stepped onto the stage.
“Everyone here is among the best of the best, chosen after numerous rounds of selection.
“But that’s not enough. In this competition, you’ll have an even greater responsibility.
“This is not just about Draconia’s ranking or honor.
“It’s about our national interests.
“In five days, the final eliminations will take place, and many of you will be eliminated.
“Therefore, for the next five days, the Twelve Great Warriors will guide your training.”
As Robin finished, Bill stood up. “Master Ramsey, with all due respect, the Twelve Great Warriors seem weak and outdated. They might struggle to even defeat us, let alone lead our training.
“With only seven days left until the final competition, is it wise to have them instruct us? It seems reckless.”
“Enough!” Gavin stood angrily, pointing at Bill. “How dare you underestimate the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul! You’re dismissed!”
Robin raised his hand, signaling Gavin to stop.
“Bill, do you believe the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul are too weak to lead your training?”
“Yes, Commander–in–Chief Ramsey!” Bill–answered, “For the sake of our victory, that’s exactly what I’m saying.”
Robin nodded. “Bill, step forward: Pick the weakest among the Twelve Great Warriors and challenge them to a one–on–one match!”

The training field at Wolfsbane Summit’s military base was eerily quiet.
All eyes were locked on Bill.
Though what he said might have been true, it was incredibly out of place in this setting.
His words could very well destroy his career.

Bill, a mere lower–ranking officer, stood before 12 men–lieutenant generals, national heroes, and legends.
These men had likely earned more medals in their lifetime than Bill had ever seen.
Among the crowd were eight legendary Senior Generals from the Eight Great Royal Houses, who rarely made public appearances.
Today, they were all here to support the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul.
In Draconia, only Robin and these 12 national heroes could summon such an impressive assembly.
These warriors had been personally trained by the Dragon Lord.
They had once been young, full of ambition, and forged legacies of courage and strength that secured Draconia’s safety and pride through their sacrifices and valor.
Though their faces may have aged, the glory and the fire that once burned in their hearts could never be extinguished.
Their military spirit was the very foundation of Draconia’s peace and prosperity.
As long as that spirit endured, the nation’s pillars would remain unshaken.
Bill stepped forward. “Lieutenant Colonel Bill Lineker reporting for duty!”
The elite trainees in the center of the arena immediately straightened.
Most of them shared Bill’s mindset.
After nearly 40 days of intense training and three rounds of harsh eliminations, they were still here at Wolfsbane Summit, a testament to their strength and pride.
Their excellent performance set them apart from every other soldier in the military.
It was the confidence of those who stood at the top.
“Commander–in–chief, am I allowed to choose any of the 12 generals for a match?”
“Of course!” Robin answered, pointing to the 12 seats of the Great Warriors.
“Pick anyone you think is the weakest or the strongest, and fight them.
“If you win, you pass right away, no final round necessary!

“Bill, you should choose the strongest general! You’re the best here; why pick the weakest?” Talia shouted, disrupting the stillness.
Immediately, other trainees joined in. “Bill, Talia’s right. Don’t let us down; pick the toughest general!”
“The strongest The strongest!”
The arena buzzed with energy.
Bill raised his hand to quiet them, standing tall and confident. “I’m not dumb!
“The Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul aren’t ordinary men.
“I may be talking big, but I know I couldn’t beat the strongest among them.
“Besides, the Commander–in–chief said, if I win, I pass immediately!”
Before Bill could pick his opponent, Gavin muttered, “You’re digging your own grave.
“With your skills, even if you trained for another ten years, you wouldn’t stand a chance against any of them.
“They’re top–tier experts trained by the Dragon Lord himself.
“Few people, even in Draconia or the whole world, could defeat them.”
Bill scoffed. “You’re just talking nonsense.
“I know about their glorious pasts; they’re my idols.
“But idols are meant to inspire, not be worshipped blindly!”
Gavin was at a loss for words. “You’ve lost your mind.”
Bill nodded. “Yes, I’m mad! But to succeed, I need to first go mad! If I beat them, I’ll pass and have something to brag about!
“Youth equals power! These generals have been retired for years. They haven’t fought in ages.
“Even if they were strong before, their real–time combat skills have long since faded!”
Gavin’s frustration was clear.
“Bill, you’re going to regret this arrogance!”
“I don’t care.” Bill shrugged. “A young person has to take some risks. What matters is what you learn from
it.”
“Damn it! A donkey can be tied up if it goes mad, but a person? That’s hopeless!” Gavin muttered, shaking his head and glancing at Bill with sympathy.

At this point, all he could do was offer advice and hope for a miracle.

Bill shook his head. “I’m not picking him. General Grayson seems strong. He’s been at Dragon Palace all this time, so his skills should still be sharp.”
Gavin sighed, resigned. “You should listen to me.”
“I won’t!” Bill turned away stubbornly. “You’re all in on this together!”
“Fine, fine… it’s your choice!” Gavin laughed helplessly. So, who are you picking?”
Bill’s eyes lingered on Franco, who stood beside Jack.
Franco looked pale, his eyes glazed over, almost lifeless.
་
On closer inspection, his breathing was weak, and Bill worried that he might not even survive the match.
“I’ll pick him,” Bill muttered.
Gavin’s eyes widened in shock as he followed Bill’s gaze. He gasped. “You’re picking General Whalen? Bill, are you trying to get yourself killed-”
Before Gavin could say more, Bill stepped forward. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I choose to fight General Whalen!”
Robin slowly turned to Franco.
The Senior Generals from the Eight Great Royal Houses and the Special Forces laughed quietly.
Franco’s cold expression barely shifted as he raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to fight me?”
“Yes, General Whalen!” Bill snapped to attention. “Considering your long time away from combat and your age, I’ll go easy on you.”
Gavin rushed forward, scolding, “Bill, how can you speak so disrespectfully to General Whalen?!”
Franco stood up, raising a hand to silence Gavin. Then he turned to Bill, his voice cold. “You’re arrogant.”
Bill answered without hesitation. “General Whalen, when facing formidable opponents, arrogance is necessary! Even if I lose, I’ll go down swinging!”
A faint smile crossed Franco’s usually stern face. “Good. I’ll indulge you.”

Jack chuckled knowingly and said, “Colonel Lineker, you’d better reconsider. Pick someone else.”
“Why’s that?” Bill asked, clearly puzzled.

“Well…” Jack frowned, carefully choosing his words. “General Whalen might not seem intimidating at first glance, but back in the day, he was the toughest fighter among the 12 of us. When he fought, he was unstoppable.
“Let me tell you something. About 23 years ago, during the battle at the southeastern border, General Whalen held off over a hundred enemies by himself, armed only with a combat knife. By the end, they were begging for mercy.
“Want to know how it ended?”
Bill raised an eyebrow, curious. “Did he spare them?”
Jack’s smirk was cold as he responded, “He killed every single one of them.
“The men he took on were some of the best, and he wiped them all out single–handedly.”
Bill laughed dismissively. To him, it sounded like a far–fetched story, a tale meant to impress but lacking real weight.
Jack shook his head. “Let me put it this way: Even if all 11 of us teamed up, we wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
“Do you really think you could survive one of his blows
“So, my advice is to pick someone a bit easier to deal with–like me.”
Bill gave Jack a once–over, taking in his muscular build before smirking. “Ha! You think I’m buying that?
“General Grayson, you’re telling me you’re the weakest out of all of us, with your size and strength?
“I know what you’re trying to do, but I trust my instincts. I’m sticking with General Whalen.
“Besides, Commander–in–Chief Ramsey said that if I defeat one of you, I can skip the rest of the tests.
“I’ve been dreaming of competing in the international military competition, and this is my shot. I’m not letting it slip away.”
Jack sighed and shook his head, grinning. “Alright, have it your way. Just don’t come crying to us old guys when you regret this later.”
Bill stood firm, unwavering. “I won’t regret it!”
Flint laughed, clapping Bill on the back. “That’s the spirit, kid!
“Colonel Lineker, I’m rooting for you!

“Understood!” Bill’s confidence soared as he heard Flints encouragement, though he completely missed the part about him being chased by Franco.
As Bill confidently walked to the arena, the other officers chuckled lightly, amused by his enthusiasm.
Bill climbed onto the platform, and Franco pointed to the crowd below. “Gavin, you’re up too.
“All of you from the top three in the training base rankings, get up here!”
Bill hesitated for a moment. “General Whalen, I can handle this on my own. Why are you calling others?”
“You’re too cocky!” Gavin snapped, stepping onto the platform.
At that moment, Gavin was eager to shove Bill off the stage. “You’ll learn how foolish you are. I just hope you don’t beg for mercy later.”
Most of the officers knew what was coming. Franco was obsessed with fighting. Once a battle started, he wouldn’t stop until his opponent begged him to.
Bill had just called Franco the weakest of the Twelve Great Warriors, and now it was clear that Franco would make an example out of him.
Back in the day, Gavin had trained with Franco, and he knew the man’s relentless intensity.
Despite his lean frame, Franto was notorious for punishing his opponents until they begged for mercy.
And now, Bill–this fool–had chosen to face Franco.
It was nothing short of a death wish.
At this point, Gavin didn’t care anymore.
He knew that even four of them combined couldn’t defeat Franco.
But being beaten by one of Dragon Soul’s fiercest warriors would be an honor.
Bill, Talia, and George, the top three from the training base, stood on the platform.
Gavin, the assistant chief instructor, joined their ranks, and the four of them stood before Franco.
Franco glanced at the clock. “Let’s set a time limit–no more than 30 seconds. I don’t want to lose control.”
Gavin was about to agree when Bill stepped forward. “General Whalen, 30 seconds isn’t enough!”
Gavin nearly lost his temper.
Franco had set the time limit to avoid overexerting himself and hurting Bill too much.
He would rather stop before he completely lose himself in the zone during battle.
Yet Bill was complaining about it being too short.
That was asking for trouble.
Rill continued. “You’ve been through a lot in these past years General Whalen and the intensity of the

“Don’t worry, though. If you can’t keep up, I’ll stop before it’s too late.”
Gavin wanted to say something, but Bill ignored him completely,
Franco, observing Bill’s bold attitude, chuckled. “Alright, fine. One minute, then,”
Bill snapped to attention. “General Whalen, this fight is crucial.

“Maybe you’re not at your peak right now, but this is about the international military competition in seven days.
“Since Commander–in–Chief Ramsey asked you generals to help us reach the finish line, I expect you to give it your all. One minute won’t be enough.”
Franco frowned. “How much time do you think we need?”
Without hesitation, Bill replied, “General Whalen, I think at least ten minutes for this showdown.”
Gavin nearly collapsed in disbelief.
Ten minutes?
If Franco decided to go all out for ten minutes, Bill would probably never forget it.
Meanwhile, George and Talia stood tall, eager for the challenge.
To face off against a legend like Franco was an honor.
What’s more, it was an opportunity to prove themselves by taking down their idol.
They were excited just thinking about it.
The Senior Generals and the 11 Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, watching from the stands, were initially stunned by Bill’s audacity, but then they all burst into laughter.
Flint nodded approvingly. “Well, he’s young and reckless, all right! This is the kind of courage our successors need.”
Franco, watching Bill’s fiery determination, nodded. “Ten minutes is too long. Let’s make it five.”
Bill remained firm. “General Whalen, if you can’t last ten minutes, how will you ensure we’re ready for the final competition in seven days?”
Gavin snapped, “Bill, what are you doing?”
Bill stood resolute. “I’m taking responsibility for the success of this five–day intensive training!”
Franco’s voice grew cold. “Colonel Lineker, if you insist on this, don’t regret it.”
“I won’t regret it!” Bill answered, his voice joined by Talia and George in unity.
Franco smiled coldly. “Remember, if we don’t fight for ten minutes, none of you leave the ring. Even if you
die here you’ll keen fighting!”

Bill, Talia, and George responded in unison, “We won’t leave this arena until we’ve fought for the full ten minutes!”
Their powerful voices echoed with overwhelming momentum, shaking the arena and sending dust flying into the air.
Watching the trio’s fiery determination, Gavin felt his own passion ignite in an instant.
Clenching his fists tightly, Gavin stepped forward and shouted with all his might, “Even if it means dying on this field, we’ll hold out until the end!”
The vast and silent sparring arena echoed with Gavin’s impassioned shout.
Bill, Talia, and George all turned their gazes toward the middle–aged officer.
The dazzling noonday sun bore down on him, piercing his weary eyes–eyes that had been clouded with doubt and confusion for over a decade.
Tears shimmered, blurring the world around him into a haze of memories, transporting him back to the days of unrestrained passion and youthful vigor.
The sight of Bill and the others, brimming with determination and youthful ambition, was like a reflection of Gavin’s younger self.
Bill, Talia, and George were caught off guard.
Under the scorching sunlight, they could clearly see the shimmer of tears in Gavin’s eyes.
How could the usually stoic and seemingly unfeeling officer like him be moved to tears?
Even Franco furrowed his brow slightly.
“General Whalen, shall we begin?” Bill stepped forward and asked.
“Wait!” Franco gestured toward Gavin, his voice cold.
“Have the military equipment division prepare four sets of protective gear. You’ll put them on before you fight!”
“What?” Bill was taken aback. “Wear protective suits and gear?”
“General Whalen, we don’t need that. We never wear that stuff during our training.”
“Don’t worry, we’ve trained for so long and been in thousands of real–life combat situations. We know how to control our strength, and we won’t hurt you in the final moments.”
Gavin’s voice was sharp and cold as he commanded, “Bill, General Whalen told you to wear the gear, so do it. Stop wasting time!”
He knew that Franco was serious this time. He wanted to prevent any injuries, which was why he insisted

Earlier, Franco hadn’t taken this match seriously, but Bill and the others had clearly provoked him.
Now, Franco was planning to use the opportunity to give them a real combat demonstration.
That meant he would go all out.
Bill and the others glanced at the protective gear sent over by the equipment division. “General Whalen, you should wear it. We’ll go easy on you, we won’t hurt you.”
Gavin snapped as he donned the gear, “General Whalen is concerned about you getting hurt. Put it on, now!”
“Injure us? That won’t happen,” Bill insisted.
“In our personal combat training, the first lesson was learning to take hits, I have the best resistance to strikes from that class…

“Do you still want to fight?” Franco’s voice turned icy. “If you do, put the gear on, right now!”
Bill was about to argue again, but Robin intervened with a sharp command, “Bill, if you can’t follow General Whalen’s orders, step aside!”
Reluctantly, Bill fell silent.
The four of them put on their protective gear, only to notice that Franco was still unprotected. “General Whalen, why aren’t you wearing any?”
Gavin shook his head, a smirk forming. Ignorance breeds fearlessness.
“You think you can even get close to General Whalen? How arrogant!”
“Forget who your opponent is, clear your mind of all distractions, and give everything you’ve got. Your only focus is to defeat him!”
“Start!” Franco shouted coldly.
Gavin quickly signaled the others to prepare for the attack.
The midday sun blazed down, dazzling and bright.
Franco’s tall and slender figure, standing poised on the vast martial arts platform, created a picture of elegant grace. It was a constant reminder of the general’s unwavering commitment.
A cool wind swept across Wolfsbane Summit, stirring up the dry, parched dust and rekindling the fierce, passionate spirit of the warriors who once filled this martial arena.
The wind stirred the general’s loose battle attire, making it fluttered in the air.
Under the scorching mid–autumn sun, it sent an unexpected chill straight to the heart.
Bill and the others froze in surprise.
The once seemingly fragile General Whalen stood before them, transformed.
In that instant he stood like a towering mountain. niercing the sky a figure of strength beneath the

He pointed at Franco and shouted sharply, “All three of you, unleash your full strength, bring him down!”
In an instant, it was as if a fierce tiger led three vicious wolves charged madly toward Franco.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them were in front of him.
Simultaneously, their attacks struck from four different points, each one as swift and forceful as an arrow aimed directly at Franco.
The four of them gave everything they had, holding nothing back.
Each of the four attack points was deadly. Any one of them, if it broke through, would end his life in a single blow.
The speed of their attacks was so fast that before anyone could even react, their fists and feet were already within a fraction of an inch of Franco’s body.
At that moment, Franco stood frozen, as though time itself had paused.
A fraction of a second–just one thousandth of a second–was all it would take to end the battle.
In that fleeting instant, Bill, Talia, and George saw the light of victory shining before them.
In the next fraction of a second, four brilliant bursts exploded like petals unfolding in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of four heavy thuds rang out as Bill, Talia, George, and Gavin were all thrown to the edge of the arena.
For a moment, each of them saw stars, their vision filled with dazzling flashes, as it took them a while to regain their senses.
The brief moments that had just passed felt like a blur, a strange illusion, making it hard to distinguish reality from fantasy.
It wasn’t until the sharp pain in their chests set in that they realized everything that had just happened was real.
What … what kind of move was that?

The four of them had attacked together, yet they hadn’t even seen how he moved before being sent flying about 15 or 20 feet.

While they were still trying to make sense of it, Gavin suddenly gave Bill a swift kick in the butt.
“Forget everything else! Let go of all distractions and give it your all. There might still be a chance to push for a 70/30 or 60/40 split with General Whalen.
“No matter how strong the opponent, they all have weaknesses.
“General Whalen is tall, which means his lower body is his weak point.
“Remember, we’re a team now. We need to work together. Who knows? Giving it our all might just create a miracle.”
In an instant, Bill understood, and a plan began to form in his mind like a whirlpool of strategy.
Following Gavin’s subtle cue, the four charged toward Franco once more.
Gavin went straight for Franco’s upper body, while Talia and George attacked his left and right sides. Bill made a beeline for Franco’s ear, aiming for his weak point.
Bill made a direct attack on his rear end.
In a flash, the four fighters in the arena lunged at Franco like a pack of hungry wolves.

Their
eyes were fixed on Gavin, Bill, and the others as they prepared to make a counterattack.
If this move could take down Franco, one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, it would be an unparalleled honor for their class of elite trainees.
To them, at such a close range and such four precise attacks, even someone as powerful as Franco would find it nearly impossible to turn the tide–in such a confined space.
Although the match in the arena was still ongoing, the outcome was practically concluded.
Some of the elite trainees couldn’t bear to look directly at Franco’s lean, almost frail figure.
After all, as the saying goes, even the strongest warrior fears youth. No matter how glorious Franco’s past achievements were, even heroes eventually faced the decline of age.
Meanwhile, Bill and his team were in their prime, at the peak of their strength.
If this strike landed with full force, the consequences would be devastating!
At this moment, the sheer power and momentum of Gavin, Bill, Talia, and George’s coordinated attack stood in stark contrast to Franco’s frail, lonely figure.
Anyone unaware of Franco’s identity might find it hard to believe that he was once one of the legendary Great Warriors of the Dragon Soul, a name that once struck fear into the hearts of enemies.
Everyone was convinced that the ferocious strike from Gavin and his team would utterly crush Franco, leaving him with no chance of recovery.
Yet, just as a whirlwind of emotions swept through the training ground, a literal whirlwind erupted in the
arena.
In an instant, the four powerful figures of Gavin, Bill, Talia, and George were sent flying like petals scattering in a sudden bloom.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Four heavy sounds echoed as the group landed precisely at the edge of the arena once again.
Gavin lifted his gaze toward Franco, still standing firm and unshaken under the sunlight. He shook his head with a wry smile.
Gavin had expected this outcome from the start.
Yet, a stubborn defiance burned within him, refusing to let him stay down. Gritting his teeth, he rose to his feet once again.
Even though the pain from being beaten was unbearable, he felt that it was a kind of joy in life.
This kind of joy had been buried for years, locked away in the shadows of time, so much so that he had

Fortunately, he had put on his protective gear earlier; otherwise, that last kick from Franco would have undoubtedly caved in his skull.
He squinted as he looked at Franco, still standing firm like an immovable mountain in the wind.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make sense of it, how could such a frail, thin figure possess so much power?
Talia and George were hit with slightly less force.
They quickly helped Bill to his feet, positioning themselves once again in front of Franco.
“Only one minute, and you’re already backing down? Come on, again!” Franco shouted, pointing at them.
“Pathetic! With this level of skill and mindset, how do you think you’ll ever compete internationally? Don’t make fools of yourselves!“–
He then pointed at the timekeeper. “Any downtime during the match will be deducted from the total time. I expect a full ten minutes offighting!”
“Yes, General Whalen. There are 9 minutes and 18 seconds left!” the timekeeper immediately reported.
Franco’s voice was cold as he snapped, “Stop wasting time! Treat me as your enemy and come at me!”
At that moment, Bill truly understood the meaning of Jack’s words from earlier.
These two rounds had made it clear: The Twelve Great Warriors of the Dragon Soul were far more than just a legend.
Gavin glanced at Talia, George, and Bill. “What do you think?”
Talia shouted fiercely, “Keep going! I’m not leaving until I bring him down today!”
Franco’s eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement. “Simon’s daughter?”
“That’s right! If I don’t take you down today, I’m not Simon’s daughter!” Talia roared, her voice echoing through the training ground, silencing it in an instant.
The officers in the command tower chuckled at the remark.
“Heh, looks like that old man Simon is really going to fight me to the death,” Franco said with a cold smile.
“Kid, I admire your courage! Let’s begin!”
With that, Gavin rallied the group, leading Talia, George, and Bill as they launched their attacks once
more.
Each attack grew more intense than the last.

The four of them were now seething with frustration, their eyes fixed on Franco, filled with a burning desire for revenge..
Bill gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat from his brow, and stubbornly rose to his feet again.
Turning to the timekeeper, he asked, “How much time is left?”
“Colonel Lineker, there are six minutes left!”
“Damn it! Why is the time moving so slowly?” George muttered, shaking his head in frustration. “Colonel Lineker, thank god we wore our gear, or we’d have been paralyzed. This guy’s attack was too ruthless!”

“Get up!” Franco barked coldly. “Don’t stop!”
And with that, they fought on, enduring another seven or eight rounds.

Only Gavin and Bill remained in the arena.
Bill lay flat on the ground, exhausted, panting like a dog. “Timekeeper… How … How much time is left?”
Franco’s cold voice cut through the air. “Are you just stalling for time?”
“There are two minutes left. You can’t quit now, get up!”
With gritted teeth, Bill summoned every last bit of strength and struggled to his feet.
Together with Gavin, they charged forward once more.
This time, Franco didn’t hesitate.
With a single step, he kicked Gavin clear across the arena, his heavy body crashing onto the grass more than 50 feet away.
Before Bill could even process what had happened, Franco, still facing away, delivered a swift backward kick that sent Bill flying to the edge of the arena.
Bill was exhausted.
He couldn’t help but wish that Franco’s last kick had knocked him off the arena.
That way, the battle would have ended right then and there.

Aburst of applause erupted across the arena. “Colonel Lineker, get up! Get up!”
Bill gritted his teeth and, with all the strength he could muster, managed to stand once more. He pointed at Franco and said, “Even if I have to die, I’ll fight for ten minutes! Bring it on, hit me?”
Franco’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You’ve got guts, kid. I’ll give you what you want.” Then, he threw a punch, aimed directly at Bill’s face with overwhelming force.
There was a deafening thud, and the arena fell into a suffocating silence.

It froze the attention of every elite trainee in the arena their expressions filled with shock and awe.
The shockwave from the strike sent ripples through the air, its power and intensity palpable even from several yards away.
Bill, who was so close, froze in place in that instant.
The sheer force of the punch left him paralyzed with shock.
In that split second between life and death, he had no chance to resist or dodge.
All he could do was watch in helpless horror as the punch sped toward his face with unstoppable force.
At that moment, his mind was filled with nothing but the overwhelming sense of impending doom.
The deafening roar of the fist cutting through the air was enough to shatter anyone’s resolve, its power enough to break a person in an instant.
The shockwave from the punch slammed into Bill’s already wavering body, leaving him no way to escape.
If that punch landed on his face, the outcome was unimaginable.
All the elite trainees watching from the stands held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene.
The Franco standing in the arena was no longer the frail, elderly man he once was.
He now appeared like a fierce, descending tiger pouncing on its prey!
In the blink of an eye, a powerful punch was thrown.
In an instant, the overwhelming force of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul was unmistakably unleashed.
A deafening crash followed, and the arena was instantly consumed by a cloud of dust and flying rubble.
Bill trembled violently, collapsing heavily to the ground.
At that moment, he could no longer tell if his senses of sight and sound were real or just an illusion.
It was only when he looked up at Franco standing before him that he snapped back to reality.
General Whalen’s powerful punch never landed on his face.
At the last split second, it veered slightly and smashed into the ground behind him.
Yet, the sheer force of the punch’s shockwave still sent a sharp pain through his cheek.
Turning around, he saw that the pillar near the corner of the arena had been shattered into a heap of debris and dust.

What’s more, it was a punch that had lost its power because he’d had to abruptly change its direction.
One could only imagine the terrifying force of impact had the punch struck the target directly.
As the debris and dust exploded into the air, the blazing midday sun reflected off the chaos, sending sparks flying in all directions.
“Time’s up!”
The referee’s voice echoed through the arena, and Bill collapsed onto the platform, lying there like a broken ragdoll.
Looking back, it was clear that during the previous nine minutes, Franco had only used about 40% to 50% of his strength.
It was only with that final, violent blow that he revealed even a fraction of his true power.
This was the strength of the legendary Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, once feared around the world!
If only time could be turned back 20 years
To return to the peak of Dragon Soul’s glory.
One could only imagine the sheer force of their strength.
Looking up, through the haze of dust and light, Franco’s tall, lean figure seemed like a towering mountain reaching into the clouds.
Bill couldn’t help but silently marvel.
A legend of the era, only can be admired, impossible to surpass!
After a brief moment of disorientation, Bill scrambled to his feet excitedly.
Exhausted from the intense strain, Bill’s powerful frame swayed unsteadily.
Summoning every last ounce of strength, he straightened up into a perfect stance and saluted Franco with a formal military salute.
It was his highest expression of respect for the Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, and a deep reverence for this battle–hardened Draconian warrior.
Franco patted Bill’s shoulder coldly. “Return to your unit.”
With that, he turned and effortlessly leaped off the platform, leaving behind a back so imposing it could shake the very earth.
A mountain breeze swept through, dispersing the swirling dust and debris under the harsh midday sun.
The fighting ring returned to its proud and lonely state
Bill along with Gavin Talia and George all weary and battered made their way to Robin.

After ten minutes of intense combat, none of the four had a single piece of intact clothing left.
All their protective gear had been shattered.

If it weren’t for the faint traces of their military ranks and numbers still visible, it would be impossible to tell who they were.
They looked just like four refugees.
Despite their efforts to stand tall, their bodies swayed and shook uncontrollably. In their current state, even the lightest breeze could send them toppling.
In that state, a single gust of wind could knock them to the ground.
Looking at their sorry state, Robin asked, “What did you learn from this match?”
“Report to Commander–in–chief. Exhausted and in pain!” Bill called out loudly.
Robin snorted. “Who was it earlier that insisted on not wearing protective gear?
“Now, think about it. If you hadn’t worn any, would you even still be standing here?
“You couldn’t even defend yourselves against the ‘old, weak, and frail, and that was four against one.
“What makes you believe you still have the right to represent Draconia in this year’s international military martial tournament?”
Bill quickly responded, “Report to Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I was wrong.”
“Where did you do wrong?” Robin asked in a low voice.
“I was too arrogant and reckless. I lacked respect and wasn’t prepared enough,” Bill replied, his voice filled with regret.
“Even though I ranked first in the overall assessment of this training session, I’m still far from the legendary warriors of the past.”
Robin smiled coldly. “General Whalen only used about 80% to 40% of his strength today, and look at what happened to you.
“If he had given his all, none of you would still be here.
“Yes, Commander–in–chief!” the four responded in unison.
Robin turned her gaze to Talia. “I seem to recall someone saying that if they couldn’t defeat General Whalen, they’d cut ties with their father.”
“Report, Commander–in–chief Ramsey, it was me!” Talia replied, shaking out her messy hair.
“Do you regret it?” Robin asked coldly.
Talia lifted her head and answered loudly, “No regrets!”
“From today on, I don’t know anyone named Simon Cross. I only know the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul! I’ll train under the generals and make sure I earn a spot in this year’s international martial

Jack leaned in, speaking quietly to Franco, “It looks like that old guy Simon is about to come after you.”
“There’s nothing we can do about that,” Franco said with a chuckle. He glanced at the young faces of the elites in the arena, his eyes sparkling with anticipation
Robin ordered Bill and the others to return to their units, then scanned the arena, eyeing all the trainees. “Is there anyone else who wants to challenge the generals on stage?”
“No!” Every trainee in the arena responded in unison.
“Great! I’m announcing the rules for the remaining five days of intensive training.
“All trainees will be divided into 12 groups, each led by one of the generals for your training.
“All training programs will be organized by the 12 Dragon Soul generals themselves!
“Five days from now, there will be a final evaluation to select the top ten elites who will compete alongside me!”
For the next five days, all the special forces elites in training would undergo the most grueling, devilish intensive training of their lives.
At 3 p.m., Jethro and Anton, along with their team, arrived at the Wolfsbane Summit training base.
Robin joined them as they boarded a private jet to Qacalisle Island, where they would attend the Qacalisle Summit Meeting the next morning.
Chapter 891 A Bunch of Wimps, You Don’t Have the Guts
Robin and his team’s private jet followed the setting sun westward for eight hours until it touched down on Qacalisle Island.
At this moment, the local time on Qacalisle Island was 5:30 PM.
Qacalisle Island was a volcanic island located at the center of the South Panacea Ocean.
It was not owned by any country or région but was a private island owned by the Aldridges.
About 38 years ago, the Aldridges purchased this deserted island.
After ten years of construction and investment, Qacaliste Island transformed into an international destination, offering leisure, vacation, and gourmet dining, and serving as a venue for various non- political conferences.
Spanning about 770 square miles, the island boasted numerous attractions, including a variety of dining experiences, sightseeing, and entertainment options, with the majority being hotels and convention
centers/
The Qacalisle Summit Meeting was held at the Qacalisle International Convention Center, located in the Duskhaven central area of Qacalisle Island.
Robin and the team’s private jet arrived at the Qacalisle Island airport, where Jackson Pryce, the liaison officer from Draconia’s Foreign Affairs Office, along with other staff, was already waiting.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Robin and his team were escorted by car to the Duskhaven Grand Hotel.
Originally, the local liaison officer had arranged for them to dine at the hotel’s restaurant.
However, Jethro, Anton, and the others decided to relax, take in the stunning sunset views of Qacalisle Island, and taste some local seafood cuisine.
The island’s sunsets were one of its main attractions, and at that moment, it was precisely 6:00 p.m.–the perfect time to watch the sunset.
Trix and Zayden, who were traveling with Robin, suddenly became cheerful and excited, a stark contrast to their usual stiff and serious expressions.
Maybe it was because they had been in the Thalrex Order headquarters back home for too long.
At their age, they had long adopted serious, no–nonsense professional personas.
Now, on this remote yet captivating island, they felt a sudden sense of freedom, as if free from the burdens of everyday life.
For this summit meeting, neither of them had much to do, only accompanying Anton as his assistants.
Moreover, Draconia’s Thalrex Order didn’t hold a leading voice at the conference, their role was limited to participation and execution.
Jackson led them to a restaurant along the western coast of Duskhaven, known for its exquisite seafood

At that moment, the scenic spots along the coastline and the surrounding restaurants were bustling with tourists from all over the world.
Jackson selected a seafood restaurant with the best view of the sunset.
It was a high–end buffet restaurant.
The seafood was fresh and delicious, with a wide variety of options, including lobsters, oysters, marlin, etc.
It also featured local specialties, with dishes made from ingredients like kahlúa beans, sweet potatoes, -mangoes, and coconuts.
Jethro, Anton, Jackson, and the others gathered in a private room at the restaurant, drinking and chatting.
Robin, however, wasn’t interested in discussing the usual dull political topics.
He selected some oysters and sweet potatoes, then sat at a table by the restaurant’s entrance, taking in the stunning views of Qacalisle Island–the sunset, the evening sky, the waves, the beach, and the gentle island breeze.
Trix was very excited and wanted to drag Robin to pick out food.
Unfortunately, Robin was very cold to her and didn’t want to chat with her.
He preferred the peaceful moment of watching the sunset alone.
Reluctantly, Trix joined Zayden in picking out some seafood and sat at an outdoor table nearby.
Not long after sitting down, Trix’s cheerful laughter caught the attention of a few local men.
They walked over, sizing up the delicate beauty of the Eastern woman with clear interest.
A black man sat across from Trix, his eyes gleaming with lewd gleam. “Why not come with us for some fun? I’ll make sure you’re even happier than you are now. Hahaha… ”
Trix immediately sensed their malicious intentions and responded sharply, “Please leave.”
The man, along with his four companions, casually picked up the dishes on the table and began eating. “Miss, my name is Asher Catell. This area is my territory.
“What I mean is, you’d better listen, or who knows what kind of ‘accident‘ might happen here.”
Furious, Trix snapped, “Leave immediately, or I’ll call the police!”
Asher, the black man, casually propped his foot up on the table. “Call the police? Go ahead. But let me tell you something, unless it’s the Aldridges, the owner of this island, the police will listen to me!
“Do you know why?
“Because my father is Mateo Catell, the chief manager of Qacalisle Island, appointed by the Aldridges.”
Zayden, who had been furious just moments ago, now hesitated.
Trix, too, was at a loss for what to do.

Before coming to Qacalisle Island, they had made sure to study the island’s history, culture, and background.

They knew that this island was the private property of the Aldridges, a family renowned as the world’s most elite and secretive aristocracy.
This colossal power was so influential that even the most powerful national leaders had to show them respect.
Seeing the uncertainty in Trix’s eyes, Asher leaned in closer and grabbed her wrist. “Come on, miss. You -came to Qacalisle Island to have fun. Don’t overthink it
“Let go of me!” Trix snapped, jerking her arm away from him. If it weren’t for her concern about her position, she would have already punched this man’s face.
Zayden also clenched his fists, ready to strike at any moment.
However, the internal regulations of the Thalrex Order strictly prohibited certain actions abroad.
If they acted impulsively and attacked the men in front of them, they could be immediately sent back for internal disciplinary review.
Moreover, Asher had mentioned that his father, Mateo was the chief manager for the Aldridges on Qacalisle Island.
With these two concerns in mind, even if Zayden and Trix were capable fighters, they knew better than to make a move.
Asher and his companions were well aware that people like them–outsiders–were often easy targets here.
Seeing that Trix and Zayden were furious but hesitant to act, Asher grew more brazen and reached out his large, dark hand toward Trix’s thigh.
Trix instinctively threw a punch at Asher’s face.
However, at the last moment, she hesitated, and the punch lacked the full force it could have had.
Asher, furious and clutching his face, slapped Trix across the cheek. “You little b*tch, how dare you hit
me!”
Trix quickly dodged, causing Asher’s slap to miss.
Furious, Asher, along with his four companions, swung their fists toward Zayden and Trix.

Trix and Zayden, unwilling to escalate the situation, raised their arms to block the incoming blows.
Robin, noticing the commotion from a distance, saw that Trix and Zayden could easily handle the five ‘men but couldn’t understand why they weren’t fighting back.
The noise from outside caught the attention of Jethro, Jackson, and the others inside the restaurant.
Seeing this, Jethro shouted, “Stop!”
Asher and his group paused, glaring at Jethro. “Do you want to die?”

Noticing Jethro’s rising anger, Jackson quickly stepped, trying to de–escalate the situation. “Jethro, don’t act on impulse. It’ll only make things worse!”
“You are a bunch of wimps, you don’t have the guts!” Asher and the others laughed and pointed at Trix.
“I’m telling you, I’m going to take her away today! Let’s see what you can do!”

Chapter 892 Why the Hell Are You Making So Much Noise?
Asher’s arrogance and insults infuriated Zayden.
In a different situation, Zayden wouldn’t have hesitated to knock this guy our with a single punch.
But he couldn’t!
Reluctantly, Zayden was forced to suppress his seething anger deep inside, unable to let it out.
If that anger erupted, everything he had built would be torn apart.
Trix looked helplessly at Anton and Jethro.

At that moment, even though both she and Zayden had the power to beat the hell out of the other party, she didn’t dare.
They were highly trained personnel, bound by strict discipline and required to follow orders from higher-
ups.
Anton furrowed his brow, unsure of how to handle the situation.
If Dragon Lord or Young Lord Dragon were here, they would have already taken care of these trashy thugs with a single punch.
All those rules, consequences, and impacts were bullsh*t. Strength was the only thing that counted!
Arguing with thugs about discipline was useless; a single well–placed punch was far more direct and effective.
Though violence wasn’t the only way to handle things, it was the guarantee for maintaining order in an unpredictable world.
Anton glanced at Jethro beside him, who was clenching his fists tightly.
The tension in the air was thick, as if a storm were brewing, ready to explode at any moment.
Jethro had never endured such humiliation before.
Asher, this piece of sc*mbag, was acting recklessly by relying on the Aldridges‘ powerful backing.
It was infuriating.

If this were back home, he’d have already shot this unruly brat for not knowing his place.
But the Aldridges were not to be trifled with, messing with them could lead to serious consequences.
Seeing Jethro so angry, Jackson quickly grabbed his arm and whispered, “Jethro, don’t act on impulse!
“You’re the leader of this event–think about the bigger picture!
“You still have a meeting to attend. Acting on impulse could lead to consequences you can’t even imagine!”
Jethro took a deep breath, understanding the weight of Jackson’s words.

It wasn’t just that Asher and his group were tied to the Aldridges, there were deeper, unspoken issues involved.
For now, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Anton also understood the meaning behind Jackson’s words. He frowned as he watched Asher and his group, carefully monitoring the situation as it unfolded
Seeing Jackson, Jethro, and the others behave like public officials, Asher assumed they wouldn’t dare to make a move
This gave him more confidence to taunt them even louder, drawing the attention of tourists nearby, who were enjoying the sunset views.
This was Trix’s first time accompanying her leader to an important overseas conference, and it was also the first time she had encountered such a situation.

A pompous brat like Asher could only beg for mercy in front of him!
But he hadn’t received orders from his superiors, so as a low–ranking guard, Zayden dared not make a
move.
Asher yanked at Trix’s long hair with a sneer. “Come on, darling, your people can mind their own business. They won’t dare do a thing. On Qacalisle Island, the Aldridges run everything!”
The men accompanying Asher burst into laughter, crowding around him and pushing Trix, pressing themselves closer to her.
Trix covered.her nose, struggling to fight off their harassment as she cried out to Anton, “Mr. Mickton, w- what should I do?!”
Anton turned toward Jackson, his anger evident. “Mr. Pryce, we can’t just stand by and watch them assault Trix like this! If we do nothing, what does that make us!”

Jackson hesitated briefly before stepping forward, politely making a stop gesture toward Asher. “Gentlemen, please mind your behavior and words. Aren’t you damaging the reputation of the Aldridges by doing this?
“I’m sure even the head of the Aldridges wouldn’t behave so rudely.
“Please stop causing trouble, can you?”
Asher slowly turned to Jackson, sneering as he pointed at him. “Who do you think you are, trying to boss around someone from the Aldridges? Just so you know my father is the chief manager of Qacalisle Island!
“Keep talking, and I’ll beat you too!”

The commotion had attracted more curious onlookers many of whom were conference attendees from around the world.
The onlookers could only seethe with anger but dared not speak up.
They all knew that Asher was the son of Mateo, the Aldridges‘ chief manager on Qacalisle Island.
Offending them was not something anyone wanted to risk..
Some of the spectators, seeing the helpless expressions on Trix, Jethro, and Jackson’s faces, showed no sympathy. Instead, they laughed at the situation.
In the presence of the world’s wealthiest family, and on their territory, no matter how much they trampled on you, all you could do was endure it.
A large, burly man watched the scene unfold and shook his head.
“If it were my friend being humiliated like that, I wouldn’t care about being the so–called wealthiest family. I’d knock them out first, even if it means going down with them!”
“Shh! Keep it down,” his companion whispered urgently. “The Aldridges aren’t someone we can mess with. Not even our leader could protect you if you offend them.”
“Let her go,” Robin said, shaking his head and issuing a low, firm reprimand.
Asher immediately halted in his tracks.
Only then did he notice a young, handsome man sitting at a nearby table.
“I rarely get the chance to enjoy the island sunset, why the hell are you making so much noise?” Robin said, reclining in his chair with one leg casually crossed. He pointed at Asher. “Let her go, and get lost.”
“Are you giving me orders? Who do you think you are?” Asher tilted his head with a mocking grin. “Kid, stay out of this, or you won’t make it out of here alive.”
He then tried to pull Trix into his arms.
“Ugh, what a pain!” Robin muttered, rising from his seat and swiftly moving in front of Asher.
Before anyone could react, he grabbed Asher by the hair and slammed his head to the ground, forcing him to get down.
On the rocky ground, blood poured from Asher’s knee, staining the surface a deep red, like the colors of a
sunset.
The crowd of onlookers on the beach gasped in shock.
“Ah! You maniac!” Asher screamed in agony, struggling but unable to rise.
His four companions stood frozen, dumbfounded.

Jackson panicked instantly, rushing over in just a few steps. He stood in front of Robin and barked, “What are you doing? Apologize to Mr. Asher right now!”
“Apologize? You want me to apologize to this piece of trash? Are you crazy? Get lost!” Robin’s expression turned icy in an instant. He pointed at Anton. “Order your men to beat these pieces of garbage to a pulp!”
Anton straightened up, a flicker of excitement flashing his eyes. “Zayden, Trix, go for it!”
This was the thrill he lived for.
Back in the day, following Dragon Lord and the Young Lord Dragon, they never spared a glance at trash
like this.
It didn’t matter where they came from or who they thought they were.
Anyone bold enough to provoke them got the same treatment–counterattack.
Logic could wait after the beating.
At Anton’s command, Zayden and Trix lit up with joy, their faces beaming with anticipation.
They’d been holding back just now, and it was suffocating.
Watching sc*m like this spew insults and provoke them without being able to act was infuriating.
But now, they were relieved!
With Robin’s words, Anton no longer cared about rules. Without hesitation, he gave the order for Zayden and Trix to attack.
In an instant, the two elite bodyguards tore through the group like wolves among sheep. Their swift and brutal assault left Asher and his men battered and bruised on the ground.
Jackson was dumbfounded.
A wave of sheer terror, as if the world were collapsing around him, left his legs trembling uncontrollably.
He pointed at Robin with a trembling finger, his voice shaking with anger. “You. You’re out of control! Let me tell you, with your behavior and actions, I can report you to your superior right now and send you to the military tribunal!
“Your reckless, immature actions could cause irreparable damage, not just to us, but to the entire mission. Do you understand? You’re courting disaster!”
Robin let out a mocking laugh. “You don’t have the authority to touch me!
“And let’s be real. Here on Qacalisle Island, teaching a few brainless punks a lesson for provoking us, so what?

“Qacalisle Island is entirely under their control, and surrounding it are two mid–sized, world–class fleets that they confihand.
“You really think offending someone from the Aldridges won’t have consequences?!”
Robin snapped his fingers. “So what if these idiots are from the Aldridges?
“Just because they’re the Aldridges‘ men, does that mean they can do whatever they want, bully people, and act without restraint?
“If that were the case, the Aldridges wouldn’t have remained at the top for so long!”
“You! I’m contacting the relevant authorities back home right now and getting you sent back for an investigation!” Jackson trembled with fury, struggling to catch his breath as he spoke.
Robin shook his head with a mocking smile on his lips. Feel free to make the call. Just let me know when it goes through. I’ll make sure someone like you–lacking any principles–gets sent back immediately, so you don’t make a fool of yourself out here.”
“Fine, fine! Young man, you’ll pay for your ignorance!” Jackson, unwilling to continue debating with Robin, turned his attention to Anton. “Mr. Mickton, why are you fooling around with a young man like him?”
Anton chuckled. “Mr. Pryce, am I fooling around?
“Are you suggesting I should just watch as Trix is assaulted by a bunch of thugs?
“I’ll ask you this, if Trix were your daughter, would you stand by and do nothing?”
“Ridiculous! How can you label them as thugs? You’re being unreasonable!” Jackson roared, his anger reaching its peak.
“Your impulsive actions are going to cause us big trouble!
“He’s the son of the chief manager of the Aldridges‘ Qacalisle Island. Do you really think they’ll just let it slide after we’ve hit the chief manager’s son?!”
Anton shook his head. “Mr. Pryce, you have no right to criticize me. I’m acting under Mr. Ramsey’s orders.”
“You’re taking orders from Mr. Ramsey?” Jackson looked up at Robin’s youthful face, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, and for a moment, he was taken aback. Who is he?”
Anton snorted. “Your clearance isn’t high enough to know.”
Jackson was stunned for a long time, and couldn’t understand why Anton, the director of the External Affairs Department of the Thalrex Order, would obey the orders of a young man.
Judging by Robin’s appearance and demeanor, he didn’t seem to be a high–ranking official.

“If this situation escalates and the authorities start asking questions, I won’t be able to cover for you.”
Jethro shrugged nonchalantly. “Mr. Pryce, you don’t need to worry about it. You can leave now.
“You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Pryce. I, Jethro, will take full responsibility for everything that happened at the beach today.”
Jackson was at a loss for words, standing there in stunned silence for a while before he finally spoke. “General Quintana, we’ve been working together for years, and I’ve never seen you act so impulsively. Your actions and words today have caught me off guard.
“For all these years, we’ve always been handling external affairs.

“You should understand the gravity of the situation even better than I do.
“I know that Lord Quintana holds great influence back home, and even if the authorities have concerns, they won’t dare take action against you.
“But allowing them to do this will only bring a lot of trouble to Lord Quintana!”
Jethro sneered. “Mr. Pryce, you don’t need to concern yourself with my matters.
“Don’t worry, no matter how big this incident gets, I will handle it. It has nothing to do with your local liaison office on Qacalisle Island.
“If any domestic agency questions you, I’ll personally clarify that this was all my decision and has nothing to do with you.”
Jackson shook his head. “Jethro, that’s not what I mean. I’m saying, that acting recklessly like this could really delay important matters.
“What I’m suggesting is, get that young man back home quickly. As for the Aldridges, we can spend a little money to have someone smooth things over—”
Jethro’s expression darkened, and he pointed a finger at Jackson. “If you dare to do something as pathetic as that, I’ll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life! I’m telling you, I despise that man!”
Then, he got into the car with Robin, Anton, and the others, heading toward Duskhaven Grand Hotel.
Asher watched them leave, grinding his teeth in rage. “Just wait! I’ll make sure you all end up dead on Qacalisle Island!”

The Duskhaven Grand Hotel’s special business car slowly drove along the coastal highway, carrying Robin and his group.
Inside the car, no one spoke, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
The driver, who was quite emotionally intelligent, tried to break the awkward silence by turning on the car’s CD player
The pure sound of Kenny G’s saxophone, playing Going Home from a CD, filled the air as the day faded into twilight.
The music is sad and melancholy, expressing homesickness.
A light sea breeze carried the last traces of sunset through the car window, gently brushing against Robin’s steady chest.
He paused for a moment, startled.
A rare warmth flickered in his eyes as he gazed out the window, his focus drawn to the distant horizon where the sea met the sky.
The last rays of the setting sun slowly faded, carried away by the endless sea breeze.
As the journey continued, it felt as if time stretched endlessly.
Along the coastal road, streetlights began to flicker on.
Although it was getting darker, the hurried seabirds were still chasing the setting sun.
Such an uncertain journey was like the unchanging persistence on the long journey!
Unanswered questions kept flashing in Robin’s mind.
The saxophone’s melody still played on, endlessly yearning for its way home.
But the home that should have been mine remains frozen in time, locked in that cold night 20 years ago.
Mom, Dad…
The most cherished title in the world–one I have never had.
What a regret.
Only by seeing the whole truth and eliminating all the perpetrators with a sharp blade can I justify my existence and the hardships I’ve endured.
A sea breeze stirred, gently caressing his resolute features.
Robin let out a self–deprecating smile.
The brief warmth and sorrow quickly faded into coldness, lost in the dimming twilight.

Why did the Young Lord Dragon vanish mysteriously after entering the small convention center?
The disappearance of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon, along with the massacre at Dragon Manor 20 years ago remained an unsolved tragedy.
Is there a connection between this mysterious summit meeting and everything that has happened?
Seated in the last row of the car, Trix had been quietly observing Robin.
His handsome face, those deep, melancholic eyes–everything about him made her heart race.
He was the first man to make her feel this way.
His presence, his every word and action, captivated–her
Especially by the forceful blow to Asher just moments ago.
In that moment, Trix felt as if she were about to lose herself.
The man who was so indifferent to everything, disregarding rules and honor with such confidence–he was irresistibly charming and captivating.
Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to get closer.
For 19 years, she had carried herself like a proud swan, never willing to give any man more than a passing glance.
But in front of this man, her pride and self–respect seemed to melt away effortlessly.
In Robin’s presence, all that remained for Trix was insecurity and timidity.
At that moment, gazing into Robin’s eyes–cold, yet tinged with sadness–she felt her heart slipping away
“What’s wrong with your eyes?” Zayden noticed the dazed look in Trix’s gaze and quietly asked, “Are you falling for him?”
Trix snapped out of her trance, realizing that she had been lost in thought.
Caught off guard by someone discovering her secret, Trix’s cheeks immediately flushed bright red. She shot Zayden an irritated glare. “Mind your own business!”
Zayden quickly wiped the smile from his face and said seriously, “Commander–in–chief Ramsey seems pretty cool.”
Trix nodded, her eyes sparkling with admiration. “Of course, Commander–in–chief Ramsey is the top of the top in both looks and physique. I’m a beauty myself, but even I feel a little out of my league next to him.”
Zayden scoffed. “I was talking about how Commander–in–chief Ramsey handled Asher and Jackson–his actions were cool, not his looks. Trix, I just realized, you are quite lecherous!”
Trix froze for a moment, then glared at Zayden. “You naughty b*stard, looks like Commander–in–chief Ramsey needs to give you another good thrashing!”
Zavden chuckled softly. “I won’t need it. From now on. Commander–in–chief Ramsey is mv idol. That’s the

“If it weren’t for Jackson’s constant nagging and arrogance, I would’ve wanted to give those bastards up
even more.”
Trix’s eyes gleamed with a sense of satisfaction as she replayed Robin’s actions in her mind.
She glanced at Robin’s back, her brow furrowing slightly. “Zayden, it was satisfying, but I’m a little -worried…
“The people we face today aren’t just any thugs. They’re from the Aldridge family. Asher is the son of Mateo, the Aldridges‘ chief manager stationed on Qacalisle Island.
“After we beat them up, do you think Mateo will just let it go?
“Definitely not. They’ll definitely retaliate. If things escalate and the Aldridges get involved, we’ll be in big
trouble.”
Zayden fell silent as well.
He understood Trix’s concern.
The Aldridges were the wealthiest family in the world, with fortunes that could rival nations, and their influence stretched across every industry.
The Aldridges‘ power reached into every corner of the globe.
Most of their influence was in the political, business, and even underground circles of various countries, where they controlled the top–tier leaders.
If you offended the Aldridges, even their smallest ally could bring about catastrophic consequences.
Trix and Zayden fell silent, their minds heavy as they watched Robin.
They couldn’t help but wonder if this incident would lead Robin into deep trouble.
“Master Ramsey, did we make too much of a fuss about Asher?” After singing the song Going Home, Anton broke the silence in the car.
Noticing Robin’s silence, he continued, “Master Ramsey if things escalate and others start looking into this, I’ll take full responsibility under the name of the Draconia’s Thalrex Order.
“The International Thalrex Order’s headquarters is holding a meeting on Qacalisle Island. If Asher causes trouble again, the headquarters won’t intervene.”
เ
“Just leave this matter alone,” Robin said, lazily raising an eyebrow. “He’s just one of the Aldridges‘ dogs. No need to panic.
“Focus on your duties for now, not this.”
Yes, Master Ramsey!” Anton responded without hesitation.
Meanwhile. Jethro smirked quietly to himself.

Not even the head of the Aldridge family would dare offend Robin, let alone one of their lackeys.
If Asher and Matco were foolish enough to make trouble for Robin, that entire family would be done for.

After finishing breakfast, Robin returned to his room, changed into a suit, put on his shoes, and strapped on his watch.
He glanced at his reflection in the mirror, a gentle smile spreading on his face.
This outfit was specially ordered for him by Renee and Shirley.
In those years, roaming the world with Old Fred, he had no real home.
་
All he had ever known were the cold, ruthless shadows of conspiracy and bloodshed.
He had never imagined a life like this–dressed in a sharp suit, polished shoes, and an expensive watch.
Pretending to be very cultured and sophisticated.
Going to a place where people discuss big things and pretend to be cool.
Robin had always despised such shallow displays of pretense.
But his sister and Shirley had both told him that he was now a man with a home.
And, more importantly, he was representing a team at this important conference.
At the very least, he must have the basic etiquette.
So, he chose to wear the suit to add a touch of formality.
He enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by his family
That’s why, before coming to Qacalisle Island, he had made sure to pack this suit and all the accessories.
After having breakfast at the hotel, he returned to his room and immediately put everything on.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked so good, even he was speechless.
“This suit, custom–made by my sister and Shirley, makes me look so good, I’m not worried about attracting any bad women.”
After saying this, he couldn’t resist glancing at his reflection once more, giving himself a self–deprecating smile before turning and walking out of the room.
The lobby on the first floor was quiet and lazy at 7:00 AM.
The beautiful receptionist at the front desk seemed to blend into the scene, her blank expression as motionless and detached as the stillness around her..
A streak of fresh morning sunlight streamed through the glass doors of Duskhaven Grand Hotel.
The marble floor, still heavy with the dust of sleep, was momentarily set ablaze by the light’s fleeting sparkle.

The sound of his shoes on the floor instantly awakened the marble floor from the hazy dust of last night’s dreams.
Bathed in the warm glow of the morning light, his tall, elegant figure radiated nobility and luxury.
In the hazy afhosphere, the receptionist’s enchanting eyes suddenly came to life, gleaming with a new radiance.
For a moment, she couldn’t tell if what she was seeing was reality or a dream.
What a handsome man!
The receptionist couldn’t help but place a hand over her chest, her face flushing, her breath quickening.
Thankfully, she worked out regularly.
Otherwise, she might have fainted right there, rolling her eyes and foaming at the mouth.
Such a handsome and elegant man. Isn’t this the same dreamlike figure from my dream last night?!
“Mr. Ramsey!” Trix quickly caught up, but in her rush, she nearly lost her footing and collided with Robin.
Her soft, delicate frame wobbled a few steps before she managed to steady herself.
The receptionist’s adoring smile froze, her expression stiffening as she watched Trix, with her breathtaking beauty, approach.
A surge of displeasure welled up inside her.
Watching Trix act so nervous and shy in front of Robin, the receptionist couldn’t help but mutter to herself, Look at her, all coy and flirtatious. Hmph!
A wave of jealousy flared up, rising quickly to her head.
Ugh! Seeing such a handsome man made me feel almost tipsy, like I’d had too many drinks.
Trix had woken up at 5 a.m.
She spent over two hours carefully getting ready in front of the bathroom mirror, all in hopes of looking her best when Robin saw her that morning.
Robin paused, eyeing Trix’s heavy makeup, his brow slightly furrowing. “Who taught you how to do your makeup?”
Trix’s cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment. “I I learned online. I even bought a membership. In less than a month, I upgraded to a Super Black Diamond member…”
“With heavy makeup like that, are you going to a nightclub?” Robin shook his head and walked away.
“Heavy makeup? Nightclub?” Trix stood there, confused for a moment, before quickly pulling out a small
mirror from her bag

“If you have the power to act but don’t, that’s cowardicer
Then, he turned and continued walking toward the lobby doors.
Trix stood in the lobby, staring at Robin’s tall figure as he walked away, lost in thought.
“Trix, what’s wrong?” Zayden, who had just arrived, lightly tapped her on the shoulder, pulling her from her thoughts.
Trix gazed at Robin’s retreating figure. “Zayden, isn’t Mr. Ramsey so different from the people we’ve met before?”
Zayden nodded. “Yeah, he’s impressive, reckless, confident, and completely fearless … One word:
awesome!”
“Wait!” Jackson, who had just arrived, overheard their conversation and immediately darkened.
Trix shot Zayden a glance, signaling him to stay quiet. Pretending not to hear and followed Robin toward the exit.
Jackson was clearly furious.
He was a minister–level liaison officer.
To be ignored by Trix and Zayden was completely unacceptable.
“Mr. Mickton, have the special guards sent by the TX organization this time been strictly reviewed?”
Anton shrugged nonchalantly. “Of course. Why do you ask?”
Jackson pointed at Robin, Trix, and Zayden’s retreating figures. “These people seem to lack political maturity! They’re too hostile, too narrow–minded. If they keep acting like this, they’re going to cause big problems.
“You didn’t tell them that, when dealing with others, especially with people from foreign regions, they need to learn restraint and patience-
“Mr. Pryce, just that?” Anton interrupted, “Your rank doesn’t give you the authority to question our operations. Don’t forget your position is just that of a liaison officer!”
Jackson stood frozen, staring at Anton’s retreating figure.

Jackson shook his head. “General Quintana, I have a feeling something big is going to happen this time.”
Jethro smiled indifferently. “I can’t predict the past or the future, but I can tell you one thing, nothing that happens this time will be a big deal.
“Come on, stop worrying about things that haven’t even happened.”
Ten minutes ter, Robin and the others arrived at the entrance of the Qacalisle International Convention
Center.
Located in the heart of Duskhaven’s central area, it was the venue for the Qacalisle Summit Meeting.
Just as they got out of the car, 30 muscular men moved to block their path.
Jackson, along with the two accompanying military officers, recognized the men blocking their path as Asher and his group from the previous evening’s conflict at the beachside restaurant.
He immediately made a call to Jethro, urging them to remain calm and avoid any further conflict with Asher.
The conference venue was packed with journalists and media from around the world.
Any incident here could quickly spiral out of control.
Once he had relayed these incructions, Jackson, flanked by the two officers, made his
way toward Asher.

30,000 feet above the South Panacea Ocean, 4,000 nautical miles from Qacalisle Island.
A private Airbus A380, the most expensive private business jet in the world, flew directly to Duskhaven Airport on Qacalisle Island at a speed of 600 miles per hour.
Escorted by a squadron of ten F–35 Lightning II fighter jets, and a C–130 logistics transport aircraft.
On board, the 500 million Airbus A380 was Felix Aldridge, the head of the world’s most exclusive and secretive aristocratic family, along with his team of assistants.
The aircraft was equipped with two levels and living spaces for up to 300 people, as well as an office, conference room, gym, and entertainment room.
At this moment, the conference room was occupied by Felix, his three senior assistants, and his only granddaughter, Luella.
Last night, Luella learned that Robin had arrived on Qacalisle Island to attend the Qacalisle Summit Meeting and immediately informed her grandfather.
Felix worked late into the night, ensuring all matters were arranged.
This morning, he flew directly to Qacalisle Island with his team of assistants and the family’s elite security.
Felix’s main goal for this trip was to meet Robin.
Back then, his old rival, Ernst Cesar, had enlisted the Urbs wizard to cast three blood curses on the Aldridge family.
The first two curses had come true.
The third curse was about to reach its deadline.
This curse concerned the life and death of the Aldridges‘ only heir, Luella.
Felix, willing to set aside all other matters, was determined to reach Qacalisle Island.
Luella checked the time, then the navigation distance, her impatience growing.
“Grandpa, what kind of lousy plane is this? It’s too slow! We’ve been flying for so long and we’re still not there. Just change it already!”
Felix asked his assistant and, upon learning there were still 180 miles to go, he smiled.
“Luella, this is the fastest private jet in the world, cruising at 620 miles per hour. And you’re calling it slow? Should we take a rocket to Qacalisle Island instead?
“Be patient, Felix said sternly, noticing her growing impatience. “We’ll be there in just half an hour.
“I’ve told you before, Luella, that no matter how urgent something is, you must learn to stay calm. You can’t be this impatient!

“The future of the Aldridges will one day be in your hands. With your rash behavior, how can I trust you?
“Always remember, every choice you make will determine the fate of the Aldridges!”
Luella nodded apologetically. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I was too impatient. I just really want to meet Mr. Ramsey.”
Felix took a deep breath. “Luella, I want to meet Mr. Ramsey too. He’s the only friend I have in this world..
“What’s even more important is that only Mr. Ramsey can save the future of the Aldridges.”
At this point, Felix turned to look at his assistant, Darson Dale.
This man, in his fifties, had been by Felix’s side for 35 years.
He knew Felix’s thoughts and actions as if by instinct.
“Sir, are you asking for the information on the Qacalisle Island’s chief manager?”
Felix nodded. “Darson, who is the current chief manager of Qacalisle Island? And when did they take office?”
Darson immediately activated the display screen in the conference room.
“Sir, five years ago, the former chief manager of Qacalisle Island, Ricardo, completed his term and retired and the Cattell family took over his position.
“Mateo Cattell, 57 years old, was the president of the Aldridges‘ hotel division in Ugonland before taking the position of chief manager at Qacalisle Island.
“However, with nearly half of Ugonland’s 80 five–star hotels operating at a loss, the Aldridges‘ headquarters decided to let Mateo go.
“Coincidentally, Ricardo retired and left the position vacant, and Aldridge headquarters gave Mateo another chance.”
“Mateo gladly accepted the role of chief manager at Qacalisle Island and has been working there for five
years.
“Under his leadership, the island’s operations have been relatively stable, though there have been a few concerning reports sent to headquarters.”
“Concerning reports? What do you mean?” Felix frowned, studying the operational data for Qacalisle Island on the display.
“Mateo’s son, Asher, is arrogant and reckless by nature.
“Back in Ugonland, he often broke local laws due to his troublesome behavior and was arrested by the police multiple times.
“But Mateo has always indulged his only son.
“Each time Asher got into trouble, Mateo didn’t try to correct his behavior. Instead, he would use the money to cover for him and even help him deal with the aftermath.

“The managing director of Panacea Ocean, responsible for overseeing the islands, submitted a report to headquarters detailing Chief Manager Mateo’s unethical behavior during his time in office.
“But there was no suitable replacement at the time, so the issue was temporarily set aside.
“Headquarters issued a formal warning, giving Mateo a deadline to improve the security situation on Qacalisle Island.”
Felix looked at a recent photo of Mateo and his son on the display. “Darson, how do you suggest we handle this matter?”
“Sir, since we’re already here, it would be best to assess the situation firsthand before making any decisions,” Darson replied, shutting off the video.
“Very well,” Felix said, closing his eyes and leaning back in his seat. “What’s the update on our meeting with Mr. Ramsey?”
“Mr. Felix, I initially planned to inform Mateo directly to handle the reception and services for this matter Darson paused briefly before continuing.
“But I’m concerned that he’s not entirely reliable, and his son, Asher, has a poor reputation on the island.
“If we let them handle the reception and communication with Mr. Ramsey, it could potentially affect the Aldridges‘ respect for him.
“And that could ruin everything.
“That’s why I didn’t inform Mateo about Mr. Ramsey in advance.”
Felix opened his eyes and nodded in approval. “Well done, Darson. I’m very pleased with your judgment.
“In this world, the Aldridges can afford to make enemies with anyone, but we can never afford to offend Mr. Ramsey.
“Remember this, all of you, whether I’m here or not, Mr. Ramsey will always be the Aldridges‘ one and only most esteemed and most trusted friend!”
In front of the Qacalisle International Convention Center lobby, Asher led 30 island guards to block Robin and his party’s vehicles.
Jackson signaled to Jethro and Anton, urging them to stay calm and exercise restraint to prevent the situation from escalating.
The scene immediately drew the attention of delegations from various countries and regions, as well as the media covering the event.
Jackson quickly directed the secretariat to reach out to the conference organizing committee, providing them with the full details of the situation.

“General Quintana, the committee has made their position clear.
“Yesterday, our team had a physical confrontation with Asher and his group, and,both sides share the blame.
“Now, the committee’s position is that we must be escorted by the local police to the station to clarify the situation and face their punishment.
“This incident involves the Aldridges and the chief manager of Qacalisle Island. The committee’s intention is to downplay the issue.”
Jethro leaned back in the car seat and sneered. “Mr. Pryce, is this the result of your coordination?
“You were present from start to finish during the fight yesterday. Don’t tell me you don’t know who the real instigator of the brawl was.
“In any case, this matter can’t be handled this way!

Jackson was taken aback. “General Quintana, please calm down. We’re on Qacalisle Island. We can’t be reckless.
“Besides, we’re not just representing ourselves—”

“Every word and action we take now must reflect the dignity of our entire team!”
Jackson frowned deeply. “General Quintana, what exactly are you trying to say?

“Haha…” Asher and his four companions burst into laughter, as though they’d just heard the most absurd joke.
After a fit of laughter, Asher pointed at Robin. “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll forgive your ignorance.

Asher, gritting through the pain of his broken leg, shouted in fury, “Get lost! This is far from over. The Cattells will never let this go!
“This matter is non–negotiable!”
Then, he pointed at Robin and roared, “I want him dead!”
Then, he turned to a curly–haired man standing nearby “Lovell, call

Realizing the situation was escalating rapidly and Asher was determined to take Robin’s life, Jackson was momentarily at a loss.
Furious, he pointed at Robin. “Look at this! Look at the mess you’ve
aused!
“Tell me, how are we supposed to resolve this?
“Mr. Cattell, the chief manager of Qacalisle Island, will be here soon. If he insists that you must die to settle this, there will be no room for negotiation!
“Considering we were once a team, I’ll give you a warning. Only you can save yourself now!”
Robin smirked indifferently. “You’ve been the one making a scene from the start. No one asked you to step in and take responsibility.”
Jackson, fuming with anger, was left momentarily speechless. “Fine, fine! Ignorance is bliss! Just wait-
“Get lost!” Robin sneered, his voice so sharp it startled Jackson.

He spun around and hurried to Jethro, pounding his fist in frustration. “General Quintana, things have escalated to this point. What do we do now?”
Jethro snorted dismissively. “What’s the big deal? It’s just a few local thugs from Qacalisle Island getting a lesson. How bad could it be?”
Jackson was momentarily stunned. “You don’t think this is a big deal?
“General Quintana, what is Robin’s background? Why are you protecting him like this?
“Do you realize the summit committee has already ordered us to resolve this matter quickly? If we don’t, they’ll hold us responsible!
“Now, contact the relevant authorities back home and negotiate this matter through higher–level channels
Before Jackson could finish, Jethro snorted coldly. “Mr. Pryce, I’m in charge here. I warn you, if you dare to report this matter without authorization, I will make you pay the price.
“Your mindset isn’t fit for such an important position anymore. You should start thinking about your own future.
“You’re ordering us around to do something so humiliating. I just can’t understand, whose side are you
on?”
Jackson was stunned for a moment, his tone softening as he said, “General Quintana, that’s not what I meant. What I’m saying is, things have escalated to this point-”
Jethro’s voice turned cold. “No matter how bad things get, it’s not the issue.
“What matters is, we didn’t start this, they did!
“Our principle is to avoid trouble, but we never back down from it.
“No matter how powerful the ones who start the conflict are, we must strike back without hesitation!
“Never compromise, never retreat, never show mercy!
“Even if it’s someone from the Aldridge family, if they provoke us unreasonably, we won’t tolerate it!”
“Ah! This is crazy, completely crazy!” Jackson couldn’t believe it. He never thought Jethro would be so lenient with Robin on this matter.
Trix and Zayden, having thoroughly beaten down Asher’s guards, were excited by the victory.
Returning to Robin’s side, they learned that the chief manager of Qacalisle Island, Mateo Cattell, was coming in person to handle the situation. Their excitement immediately turned to concern.
Trix whispered, “Mr. Ramsey, Mateo is the chief manager of Qacalisle Island, directly appointed by the Aldridges. With things escalating like this, will it be difficult to resolve this situation?”
Zayden nervously glanced at Robin.

While the thrill of the moment was undeniable, they both knew that the Aldridges were the world’s most powerful family.
If this wasn’t handled properly, they would face a devastating disaster.

No detail escaped the crowd; even the faintest gestures and softest murmurs were carefully observed.
Trix didn’t speak loudly, yet her worried tone carried effortlessly to the entire crowd.
It was an indisputable truth.
The Aldridges‘ dominance was unmatched.
Their influence was so immense that even the strongest nations treated them with reverence.
The Aldridges not only held boundless riches but also controlled key industries vital to the global
economy
Defying a family of their stature was no different from walking into certain doom.
The Cattells might have been one of the many minor families under the Aldridges, but their affiliation with the Aldridges made them untouchable.
Not only had they overpowered the Cattells‘ guards, but Robin had also left Asher with a crippled leg.
Such a confrontation left no space for reconciliation.

Despite knowing Asher’s connection to the Aldridges, daring to act so boldly seemed like a blatant disregard for the circumstances.
These murmurs of speculation caused Anton to knit his brows in concern.

After a moment of hesitation, he leaned toward Jethro and murmured quietly, “General Quintana, do you think we should take some precautions, just in case?”
Jethro shook his head and replied, “Master Ramsey will handle this as he sees fit. There’s no need for us to interfere.”
With that, his gaze shifted to Robin.
He appeared to realize that Robin wasn’t paying attention to Trix’s concerns; instead, his focus was on the crowd.
What exactly is Master Ramsey up to?
Robin’s sharp eyes caught sight of a few individuals whose behavior stood out.
Their movements and expressions gave them away instantly–they were assassins from the Sakurania Northern Star Sect!
In another part of the crowd, a few veiled Shadow Guards stood silently.
Members of the Dark Night Alliance had also made their presence known.

Scanning the area further, Robin noticed that, beyond the disciples of these two sects, there were also martial artists from unknown factions mingling among the onlookers.
It was astonishing to see so many elite sect members gathered here on Qacalisle Island.
Could it be that they’re all here for Qacalisle Summit Meeting?
As Robin contemplated this, he watched as several assassins from the Northern Star Sect and disciples from various sects silently withdrew.
Then, a fleeting figure caught his eye.
Annie?
How is she here?
Sophie had healed her body…
A flood of questions raced through Robin’s mind.
“Mr. Ramsey, we are now …” Before Zayden could finish, Robin dashed out of the crowd, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Trix, Zayden, Anton, and the others were left in stunned silence.
At such a critical moment Master Rainsey had actually led?

They had believed Draconia’s delegation had a skilled individual among them, but it now seemed to be nothing more than a façade.
After hearing Asher’s taunts, urging his father, Mateo, to come and take charge, Robin had put on a brave front.
But now he had fled–what a display of “talent“!
Jackson stood frozen for a moment, scanning the edges of the crowd repeatedly, but Robin was nowhere to be seen.
“General Quintana, look at this!” Jackson returned to Jethro’s side, visibly frustrated. “The mess Robin caused, and now he’s the one who ran away!”
“This is utterly unacceptable Completely irresponsible
“With all this chaos, he’s put us in an impossible situation. Tell me, what are we supposed to do when Mateo shows up?”
“Are we seriously going to call in every guard from our liaison office?”
“I’ve said it time and time again–we need to exercise restraint while on the Aldridges‘ turf here on Qacalisle Island and avoid stirring up trouble.”
“But no, you wouldn’t listen!”
You all assumed that since Robin had the guts to challenge the Aldridges, he must have had a plan to handle the aftermath, didn’t you?”
“Well, take a good look now–where is he? He’s gone!”
“Mr. Mickton, what’s your recommendation for dealing with this mess?”
Anton stood frozen, equally bewildered.

He had never imagined the situation would spiral out of control like this, nor that Robin would simply vanish!
This was beyond comprehension!

“Mr. Pryce, why the panic? Mr. Ramsey has merely stepped away for a moment. Did he ever say he wouldn’t address this situation?”
“At a moment like this, in such a critical situation, you’re stirring up chaos. Do you even realize what you’re doing?”
Jackson quickly interjècted, “But, General Quintana….
“Enough of that!” Jethro snapped, his tone laced with impatience.
“I’ve already said, if the sky falls, I’ll be the one to hold it up! You’re panicking over nothing!”
Jethro’s frustration boiled over, and his anger was palpable.
As a commissioner in the liaison office, Jackson should have taken the initiative to address the issue fairly and responsibly when the dignity and safety of his people were at stake.
Instead of pointing fingers at his own, groveling to appease the opposition, or, worse, compromising the pride and interests of his people to smooth things over, he should have stood firm.
Such behavior was something Jethro found utterly intolerable!
Jackson held his breath, standing silently for what felt like an eternity, not daring to utter a word.
Trix, on the other hand, stared in disbelief, struggling to comprehend how the once–commanding Master Ramsey could stoop to such a disgraceful act as running away in the face of danger.
To her, it was utterly unacceptable!
She bit down on her lip, her eyes brimming with unshed tears, an overwhelming sense of disappointment washing over her.

Zayden noticed the tears glistening in Trix’s eyes. His lips parted as if to speak, but he quickly held back, unsure of what to say.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally tried to console her. “Trix, what’s wrong? Maybe Mr. Ramsey has something urgent to handle and will return soon…
“Don’t you dare mention him to me again!” Trix exploded, her voice trembling with rage. “He’s nothing but a coward! A hypocritical, spineless coward!” Her outburst was so fierce that Zayden nearly fell back in
shock.
Even Asher, still sprawled on the ground, was startled by Trix’s piercing scream.
Glancing up at her wild and furious expression, Zayden couldn’t help but roll his eyes and thought, is she about to bite someone or what?
Taking a deep breath, Zayden scanned the area before leaning closer and whispering, “Trix, keep it down…
But his words fell on deaf ears, Trix, lost in her hysteria, continued shouting uncontrollably.
“Earlier today, he told me that when it’s time to act, you should act without hesitation, and never back down when it’s necessary. Otherwise, it’s shameful and weak!
“And now… look at what he’s done.
“He caused all this chaos, but fled when it mattered most. What kind of plan is this?
“I can’t respect him anymore! He’s not a real man!
“I’ve lost faith that there are any men left in this world who keep their word!
“All those kind words, all those harsh warnings–they’re nothing but lies! Lies!
“To hell with you!
“Can this world get any more real? Playing with people’s emotions only to crush them with your own hands… you’re not even human!”
Zayden couldn’t understand why Trix was reacting with such intensity.”
A girl who is always quiet and rarely shows emotions, what’s wrong with her today?
It was like poking a cat’s tail!
Women really are unpredictable.
He had never felt his heart race like this during a fight before.
After her outburst, Zayden’s breath quickened.
He was at a complete loss for words, unsure how to respond in such a tense moment.

“The Aldridge have influence in every corner of the world.
“Even if that boy tries to run to the ends of the earth, the Aldridges will find him in no time!
“Besides, he’s still on my turf here on Qacalisle Island.
“Sweetheart, he won’t get away.
“If you’re not happy, just come to me, and I’ll have the guards on Qacalisle Island bring him back and cut him down right here to ease your anger!”
Trix suddenly wiped away her tears and shot Asher a furious look. “You trash! Even if I die on Qacalisle Island, I will never associate with someone like you!”
Asher paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. “Darling, don’t be so quick to speak.
“Wait until we take you to the Cattell Manor, then you’ll see how foolish your words truly are.
“In this world, nothing is certain.

A middle–aged man dressed in a patterned silk outfit strode toward the convention center, flanked by ten imposing bodyguards.
This man was none other than Mateo, the chief manager of the Aldridges on Qacalisle Island.
Mateo and his group came to a stop in front of the convention center.
One of his bodyguards promptly handed him a lit cigar
Taking a deepdrag, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
His gaze then shifted to Asher, who was lying on the ground, before sweeping over Trix, Zayden, Jethro, and the others.
Before he could say a word, several organizers of the summit meeting had already approached him.
“Mr. Cattell, we deeply regret that such an incident occurred,” one of them said.
Without a hint of emotion, Mateo cast a glance at Jethro in the distance and exhaled another thick plume of smoke.
Jackson quickly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Cattell, we are…”
Mateo raised his hand to interrupt. “No need to explain–I already have a clear idea of what’s going on.
“Today marks the international summit hosted by Thalrex Order, and we can’t let this small issue interfere) with the event’s regular flow.
“We must also ensure that public transportation and the usual order in this area remain unaffected.”
“Those involved in this matter can visit my manor to talk it over–it’s just a minor scuffle,” Mateo said with a dismissive wave.
His nonchalant attitude left everyone stunned.
The tense confrontation they had anticipated was nowhere to be seen, nor were there any signs of immediate hostility.
To Mateo, this incident was trivial.
it was clear he wanted to minimize the seriousness of the situation.
But his next statement left the crowd in shock.
Turning to Jethro and the rest, Mateo declared, “Anyone who caused serious harm to my son on Qacalisle Island will face the death penalty!
“Let’s head to the manor to deliberate on carrying out this ultimate punishment!”
Mateo’s announcement sent waves of astonishment through everyone present.
The intent behind this declaration was clear–it wasn’t open to discussion.
The death sentence had already been decided; the negotiation was merely about the method of execution.

Mateo’s gaze hardened with irritation. “You don’t understand the rules–what’s so urgent that it can’t wait?”
