Just as they exited the city limits of Harmonfield, a convoy of luxury sports cars roared past aggressively,
A sleek Porsche in the convoy signaled left and slowed down before pulling over to the side.
“Talia!” Michelle Kendall, the eldest daughter of the prominent Kendalls in Brighton, poked her head out of the window.
“We’re headed to the Springbrooke Private Club. Come along with us,” she called out.
Only then did Talia recall Michelle mentioning a gathering of Brighton’s social elites the night before.
Talia gestured for Michelle to call her instead.
Within moments, Michelle was back inside her car, and Talia’s phone buzzed.
“Talia, I saw that the Chief Instructor and Freya are with you. Bring them along to make friends.
“A lot of familiar faces from Brighton are here today, Catherine from the old military district and my cousins Elliot and Hendrix Chandler are also here.
“Upon hearing you were in Harmonfield, Hendrix rushed down from Northlorn overnight and insisted I invite you. He’s brought some rare, vintage cold weapons from his collection.
“Talia, you must know that Hendrix has always liked you. Anyway, you need to come, even if just for a while. What happens between you two later is not my business, Michelle added with a mischievous tone.
Talia glanced at Robin in the rearview mirror and quickly responded, “Michelle, stop teasing me! I’ve never thought about it that way, and don’t you dare bring it up in front of… Mr. Ramsey!”
“Oh, right,” she added hastily, “we’re actually on our way to Estoreed to visit the family of a fallen comrade, We might not have time for the party.”
Michelle sighed, “Alright, come by after you guys are done. The gathering is at Estoreed. You can contact me afterward.”
With a roar, the line of luxury cars sped off like a whirlwind.
Freya’s gaze followed the flashy convoy. She looked solemn.
“It’s strange that they’ve come to Harmonfield. Brighton has all sorts of places to party. Why did they choose here?
“If we connect it to what happened last night at Dragon Ridge Valley, their sudden collective presence in Harmonfield starts to make sense.
“Robin, I suspect someone is behind this, nudging them in this direction.”
Talia nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Those people don’t care about legends of ancient relics. Even if they heard rumors, they wouldn’t flock here like this.
“Someone must be drawing them here intentionally

“But what could this mysterious instigator hope to gain Is it really just to cause a scene?”
Robin replied expressionlessly, “They’re here to muddy the waters.”
“Muddy the waters? Freya echoed and turned to Robin in confusion. “For who?”
Robin shook his head slightly. I’m not sure.”

“Think about what happened in Dragon Ridge Valley at lawn and how four officers from the Central Foreign Affairs Bureau showed up right on time.
“And, surprisingly, they knew I had the Draconite. They kept insisting that this Draconite was an artifact lost by a foreign sect in Dragon Ridge Valley.
“If I hadn’t seen it myself, I might have believed that Draconite was some sort of jade or mystical pearl.
“But in truth, that Draconite was just an inexplicable mist!”
Talia’s eyes widened. “Really? How did those four officers know you had the Draconite? And why were they so adamant it was a tangible object?
“Mr. Robin, this does make the Dragon Ridge Valley incident seem far more complicated–and unsettling.
“What’s this mysterious figure after? Could it be that there’s no ancient relic at all?”
Robin shrugged. “I don’t know. But if this person or group hasn’t achieved their goal, we’ll likely see similar incidents again. We can only watch and wait for now,”
Freya nodded thoughtfully. “By the way, I asked my grandfather’s guards to look into who invited all these Brighton heirs to Harmonfield. It was the Yorks of Brighton.
“The Springbrooke Private Club in Estoreed is one of the premier establishments owned by the Yorks, a family that’s risen to prominence in recent years.
The current patriarch of the Yorks is Cohen.
“Thirty years ago, Cohen’s father, Albert York, started from scratch in the Brighton region and eventually founded the York Group.
“When Albert passed, Cohen took over the family business.
“In the past few years, due to their association with the Kendalls of Brighton and the Chandlers of Northlorn Residence, the Yorks have rapidly expanded in Brighton’s business scene.
“Last year, they even started extending their influence gationwide.
“Springbrooke Group is their flagship enterprise in Brookhaven.”
“The Yorks‘ invitation for the Brighton’s elite to gather in Estoreed seems to be an attempt to curry favor with these powerful families, but their true intentions are unclear.
“We don’t know if they’re acting on someone else’s orders or simply being manipulated.”

Robin gave a small smile. “Who knew Harmonfield, which was not even a major city, could be so complicated?
“Here’s the plan. After we finish our business, let’s head to the Springbrooke Private Club and test the waters. Who knows what we might uncover?”
“Sounds great!” Talia said eagerly. “I’m curious to see what rare cold weapons Hendrix brought.”
Freya chuckled lightly. “Or is it Hendrix himself you’re looking forward to seeing?”
Talia scoffed, “I don’t like that playboy! Sure, he’s skilled, but he’s reckless and indulgent. That scoundrel even has a few deaths of female college students on his hands!
“If not for his grandfather being Lord Northlorn, he’d have been arrested long ago!
“Oh, by the way, Colonel Wright, Captain Fletcher’s wife works at the Springbrooke Mall, which is part of the Springbrooke Group
Freya nodded. “Yes, I checked Captain Fletcher’s family details. His wife works at the children’s toy section of Springbrooke Mall
“The mall is right across from the Springbrooke Private Club. We can head over once we’re done.”
As they spoke, they arrived in Estoreed’s city center.
Freya pulled out her phone and called Josh’s wife, Monica Zimmer.
“Hello, who is this?” Monica had never been in contact with Freya before.
“Hello, I’m Freya Wright, one of Josh’s comrades.”
Monica’s voice brightened. “Oh, Colonel Wright! Josh has mentioned you. Is there something I can help you with?
包
Freya took a deep breath, holding back the grief that tightened her chest. “Yes, we’re passing through Estorced on duty, and since Captain Fletcher is unable to return yet, we’re here to deliver his service allowance to you
Monica’s voice was full of gratitude. “Thank you so much, Colonel Wright. Where are you now?”
“We’re heading to your workplace, Springbrooke Mall.
Monica said quickly, “My shift starts at 11 AM, but I’m at the hospital for a check–up now. Please go your business first, and I’ll meet you at the mall at 11.
Freya checked the time. “Alright, we’ll meet you at the entrance of the mall.”
After ending the calf, she pondered momentarily. “Robin, we still have some time. Let’s go to the Springbrooke Private Club and see what Mr. York is up to.”
