As Robin’s statement hung in the air, a heavy silence descended upon the room.
All attention shifted to Ashley, who appeared to have lost the ability to breathe entirely.
Freya struggled to grasp the severity of the situation.
Could it really be that Ashley is dead from just Robin’s harsh words?
Surely, such strange occurrences couldn’t happen in reality.

Rushing to Ashley’s side, she pressed her fingers against his neck–there was no pulse to be found.
Drawing from her battlefield first–aid training, she concluded that Ashley likely had a ruptured heart.
She stood, giving a solemn nod to Martin, affirming Robin’s assertions.
Although Jack and Benjamin tried to maintain their composure, the scene before them left them profoundly unsettled,
Benjamin shot a furtive glance at Robin, his heart racing.
The intensity in the young man’s gaze was reminiscent of someone he knew all too
Jack’s mind raced as he sifted through the information he had accumulated in Harmonheld over the past few weeks.
He felt as though he was finally closing in on the target he had pursued for two decades.
In a fit of desperation, Clement lunged toward Robin, shouting in fury.
Martin’s guards swiftly restrained him.
Clement’s voice erupted with rage, “Y–you’ve taken my son’s life! I will make you pay dearly for this!”
“Enough!” Martin barked coldly.
“Did you really see Mr. Ramsey kill your son? If you keep spewing nonsense, I will have to deal with you. right here!”
As Martin finished speaking, one of the guards drew a gun and pressed it against Clement’s forehead.
Clement fell to the ground, yelling, “He’s responsible for my son’s death! You’re all protecting him!”
Martin’s voice cut through the chaos, “Clement, if you dare to slander Mr. Ramsey again, the Ortegas will cease to exist in Harmonfield. Get out now!”
Henry stepped in, ‘Clement, take your time to grieve. Visit the city government tomorrow to submit your resignation. This matter ends here! Otherwise, the Wrights will follow through with their threats!”
Two undercover guards removed Ashley’s lifeless body, leading Clement out through a discreet passage of
the restaurant.

Meanwhile, a few staff members hurried to restore order to the chaotic scene.
Within the vast presidential suite, an unsettling quiet fell, as if nothing had transpired.
Jack fixated on Robin’s impassive profile.
Yet, inside, his heart raced.

At that moment, he was reminded of the night Lewis, the steward for the Lynches, died after coughing up blood.
On that night, Lewis had intended to eliminate Robin.
Jack’s guards, clad in black, had monitored every move of both Robin and Lewis through surveillance.
From the time Lewis and Robin appeared together, Robin had not made any moves.
Lewis’s unusual demise still raised suspicions in Jack’s mind.
The autopsy had indicated a ruptured heart as the cause of death.
A heart that had burst without any apparent external cause.
Unless there existed the Death’s Melody,
No one could verify if such a deadly technique existed in this world.
Ashley’s death mirrored Lewis’s fate.
sible, how h
If Robin was indeed responsible, how had he managed to kill Ashley from a distance?
Jack pondered, suddenly recalling the three chess pieces Robin had tossed into the air.
Could the sound of those pieces striking the board have caused Ashley’s death?
That notion seemed far–fetched.
If true, it would indicate a terrifying method of killing
Even the Dragon Lord he once served had never demonstrated such abilities.
Who exactly is Robin?
As Jack grappled with his shock, Benjamin was equally astounded.
He recalled witnessing a similar scene 20 years earlier at Dragonhold on Mount Valurian.
Back then, three top guards of the Inspectorate had also perished from ruptured hearts!
He vividly remembered the details of those deaths, mirroring Ashley’s.
At that time, the Inspectorate had buried the case.
Aside from him and the then–director, no one else was aware of the true circumstances surrounding thes

guards‘ deaths.
This secret had weighed heavily on him for two decades.
Now, seeing a similar scene unfold sent chills down his spine.
Could there really be a comparable method of killing in this world?
“Mr. Henry!” a guard from the Wrights spoke respectfully from outside the presidential suite,
“There’s been an incident at the hotel entrance”
Henry paused, intrigued. “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Henry, 50 developers from Eastvale Development Group are demanding immediate renegotiation of their investment contracts with the Dunn Group.
“They assert that if the contracts for cooperative development aren’t amended today, they will terminate their agreements with the Dunns!”
Henry was taken aback. Fifty developers want to withdraw from the Eastvale Ecological Project with the Dunn Group?”
If that occurred, it would spell disaster for the Dunn Group.
Turning to Robin, he asked, ‘Mr. Ramsey, are you aware of this?”
Robin nodded. “I am.”
“Mr. Ramsey, what course of action do you propose?”
Robin replied without hesitation, “Have the 50 investors select two or three representatives to meet on the third floor. We’ll discuss this over dinner.”
Henry nodded in agreement. “Alright, Mr. Ramsey, I’ll make those arrangements immediately.”
Robin turned to Benjamin and said, “Mr. Shorts, let’s conclude today’s game. We can schedule another match for later.
Benjamin managed a strained smile, clasping his hands together, “Mr. Ramsey, after today, I won’t dare to claim mastery over chess again!”
Robin responded with a nonchalant smile, “Mr. Martin let’s go see what these developers are trying to do!”
