Steven struggled to recall the details, trying to piece together the fragments of his memory.
“The woman was very frail, walking quickly, almost as i in a panic.
“What stood out to me was the blinding headlights of a car that sped by. Under their glare, I noticed a dark mole, about the size of a broad bean, just behind her head on the left side of her neck.”
“And was there anything else you remember?” Robin asked, his eyes briefly meeting Steven’s. His mind was already picturing Marge, trying to match the woman’s appearance.
If the woman Steven had seen years ago was about 27 a 28, slender, she resembled Marge quite a lot.
What was even more intriguing was that Steven had noticed a hand, a girl’s hand, inside the wicker basket she carried, along with a half–heart–shaped emerald pendant.
This made the connection between Marge and the woman immediate in Robin’s mind.
However, there was something off–Marge always wore a silk scarf around her neck.
That mole, located behind her neck, had never been visible.
“Mr. Ramsey, as for the Dragon Manor massacre that night, I only saw what I’ve told you. I left quickly afterward, fearing I might get involved.
“I didn’t abandon my duty; the situation was just too complicated.
“Who in Draconia would have the audacity to attack Dragon Manor?
“What’s more, none of the Seven Great Royal Houses sent their reinforcements that night. I feared something even worse was coming, so I didn’t hesitate and went straight to the Inspectorate.
“By the time Mr. Shorts and I arrived at the Inspectorate, the reinforcements from the Seven Great Royal Houses had been delayed by over an hour before reaching Dragon Manor.
“It’s one of those things that still doesn’t make sense to me.”
Robin nodded, signaling that Steven should rest. “You should take time to recover. The Lynches need you to help them recalibrate their operations.”
Just then, Robin’s phone rang. It was a call from Luella
“Mr. Ramsey, please give me a chance.
“I’ve reserved å private room at Brighton’s Magnolia Hotel tonight. Let me treat you to dinner.
“If it’s convenient, send me your location, and I’ll come pick you up. What do you say?”
Robin glanced at the time–3:40 PM:
Luella, I’ll head over once I finish
up
here.

He hung up and turned to Ferell and Alger, who stood fearby.
“Mr. Steven, you still need time to heal
“One thing I should remind you about the people close to you betrayed you
“Call back your old general guards. They’re more trustworthy than you think.”
Steven stiffened, “Mr. Ramsey, what do you mean by th

Robin pointed to Alger, who was being held by Ferell. He’s been playing both sides. You should ask him
about it.”
Ferell dragged Alger forward, positioning him in front of Steven and Robin.
Steven’s voice grew cold. “Alger, is there something you’ve kept from me?”
Alger pleaded desperately. “Mr. Steven, please spare mel I just made a mistake!”
Steven turned to Ferell. “Colonel Lockwood, please give me your gun.”
Robin nodded, and Ferell passed him the weapon.
With a steady hand, Steven pressed the gun against Alger’s head. “Tell me, who’s behind this? What’s their objective?”
Alger’s body trembled with fear. “Mr. Steven, please forgive me! Half a year before you were drugged, a man in black approached me.
“I couldn’t see his face; his entire body was hidden under black cloth.
“I knew he wasn’t from Draconia.
“He paid me 200 million to cooperate with Viola and drug you.
“Afterward… Viola and Malcolm eliminated all your loyal supporters, and they made me convince Samael to drug you.”
Robin smirked. “So Malcolm must have told you something, didn’t he?”
Alger hesitated for a moment. “Malcolm was undercover in the Lynches, searching for an ancient relic believed to be hidden in the underworld. He was also looking for two children who had gone missing from Dragon Manor years ago.
“All I know is that they didn’t share their full plan with me. They just told me what to do.”
Steven’s hands trembled with rage. “You betrayed me for 200 million and teamed up with those scum- Malcolm and Viola? Why didn’t you just kill me?”
Alger fell to the ground. “They never meant to kill you. They just wanted to control you.”
“Did that person contact you again?” Steven asked, struggling to control his anger.
“No, I only followed Viola and Malcolm’s orders after that.

“But my family my family was threatened,
“They stayed in the shadows while I was out in the open If I didn’t obey, my wife and children would have
died.”
Steven clicked the safety off the gun. “And you think you’ll get out alive?
“D“mn it! I can’t stand greedy, ungrateful traitors
Before Alger could beg for mercy, Steven pulled the trigger, and the buller tore through his head.
He handed the gun back to Ferell. “Mr. Ramsey, I’m sorry. I never imagined such vile things could happen under my own rool.”
“Mr. Steven, I’ll leave you to handle the Lynches. I word bother you anymore, Robin said indifferently as he turned toward the estate’s exit.
Vera appeared at the door. “Robin, I’m leaving too. Wait for me.”
Robin glanced back at Steven, then at Vera. “You both should manage the Lynches‘ assets. Accepting compensation doesn’t mean forgiveness or closure.
But at least once you accept it, you’ll have the power to act.
“However, the next steps are up to you. I need to go, and we’ll meet again later.”
Vera, deep in thought, watched Robin walk away and murmured to herself, “I’ll do as you say. I’ll accept the Lynches‘ shares.”
Robin climbed into Ferell’s car, and they sped off toward the Magnolia Hotel.
As he reflected on Steven’s account of the Dragon Manor robbery, Robin’s thoughts drifted to Marge and Joanna.
If that woman from the night of the Dragon Manor incient had been Marge….
Then Joanna could very well be Young Lord Dragon’s daughter!
Who am I really?
Could it be…
Robin couldn’t let himself think any further. He quickly typed a message. Find all available information. on Marge!”
Two minutes later, a reply came from the dark web. “Jack’s black–clad guard was seen near both Joanna an Marge.”
Has Jack been investigating them as well?
Robin’s mind went into overdrive. What role is Jack playing in all of this?

He quickly typed another message. Don’t alert them. But track their every move.”
The massacre from 20 years ago was shrouded in mystery.

The most puzzling part was why the reinforcements from the Seven Great Royal Houses had been delayed that night.
And why had the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Palace been sent elsewhere before the disaster struck?
This was no random event. This
