s
In a luxurious seaside resort, the private parlor of the presidential suite on the fifth floor buzzed with
tension.
Jack's face was set in a serious expression as he pounded his fist against the chessboard on the coffee table, sending a few pieces tumbling over the edge.
Jack, do you truly believe that? Martin asked, casually discarding a chess piece.
With a heavy sigh, Jack replied, "To be honest, Old Mr. Wright, I have been discreetly investigating the shocking tragedy that took place at Dragon Manor in Brighton for many years now.
"I've sent numerous informants to dig up leads, but unfortunately, progress has been elusive."
A flicker of sadness crossed Martin's face. "The massacre at Dragon Manor was indeed horrific!"
Jack exhaled deeply, frustration evident in his tone. I've tracked that man for years. I refuse to believe he could betray his own! Even if every member of Dragon Soul turned against their principles, the Dragon Lord would never stoop so low! "No worldly desire could ever drive him to commit such unforgivable acts, especially against
Martin nodded in agreement. "I understand the Dragon Lord's values; he stands as a pillar of god of war in Draconia
"With his reputation and skill, he would never lower himself to such disgraceful actions.
"Yet, that catastrophe struck so suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
his kin!
The most critical point is that the Inspectorate was still probing into the Dragon Lord's affairs when the massacre at Dragon Manor occurred!"
Jack shook his head with bitterness. "While the Dragon Lord was confined in Dragonhold for questioning. several prominent members of Dragon Soul were away on assignments.
"On the night of that shocking incident at Dragon Manor, none of us were in Brighton.noveldrama
"The fire engulfed the entire estate, claiming the lives of 37 family members without a single survivor
"The lady had just welcomed the heir two months prior, and their daughter was merely two years old.
*According to the investigation records that followed, 35 bodies were discovered in the manor post-fire. including that of the lady!
Interestingly, despite thorough searches conducted by the Inspectorate, they were unable to locate the bodies of the two-children anywhere on the premises,
"When the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul returned to the capital, they too were sent out to search for them but found nothing
Even more baffling is that on the very night of the incident, the Dragon Lord and his bodyguard, Shadow, who were detained in Mount Valurian Dragonhold, mysteriously disappeared as well!

"The head of the Inspectorate was furious; nothing like this had ever occurred in 300 years since the Dragonhold on Mount Valurian was established. "Consequently, the Inspectorate dispatched 36 Law Enforcement Officers to investigate the whereabouts of the Dragon Lord and Shadow.
"After that, they seemed to vanish completely, as if they never existed!
"For two decades, no one has had any news about him.
"Neither the Dragon Lord nor Shadow has been seen since.
"Many speculate they might have perished.
"Yet, I've always held onto the belief that the Dragon Lord is still alive, and so is the heir!
"Perhaps they are merely biding their time, waiting for the right opportunity to reemerge.
"That moment should arrive when the truth behind the charges against the Dragon Lord is finally unveiled!"
Martin furrowed his brow, speaking softly. "If the Dragon Lord has indeed passed away, what of the heir? If he has been in hiding for two decades, could he spark a new wave of bloodshed?"
The chess piece in Jack's hand suddenly slipped from his grasp, and he looked at Mart can't bear to contemplate that..."
ock. "I-I
Martin leaned in closer. "What if... the heir possesses the Dragon Soul token? Wouldn't the former Twelve, Great Warriors of Dragon Soul
Jack's face twitched violently, and after a moment's pause, he declared, "The accusations against the Dragon Lord are surely fabrications!
"The tragedy at Dragon Manor is suspected to be orchestrated by many of the Dragon Lord's adversaries.
"What's particularly strange is that on that very day, all Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul were dispatched, and the disaster unfolded on the same night that the Dragon Lord and Shadow were imprisoned in Mount Valurian Dragonhold. "If it was indeed the Dragon Lord's enemies behind it, the timing feels awfully coincidentall
Martin nodded in agreement. There must be a conspiracy afoot!"
Jack picked up the fallen chess piece and continued, "Through my investigations over the years, I've uncovered some intriguing information-there exists legendary weapon within the Dragon Lord's family!
"It's described as a short dagger."
"Rumors in the martial arts community suggest that the calamity at Dragon Manor was sparked by a struggle to possess that dagger."
"As for why so many influential families would go to such extremes, killing and burning for that dagger, opinions differ.

"With so many types of daggers in the martial world, the legend of this particular short dagger only grows
more mysterious"
"I've certainly heard of this clusive dagger you mention Martin replied, placing his chess piece down.
"However, no one has genuinely laid eyes on the Dragon Lord's ancestral treasure."
Jack shook his head. I came to Harmonfield seeking clues about the dagger's lore, but the two bodies at Westhill Cemetery led nowhere.
Martin smiled enigmatically. "Jack, are you suggesting that
for?
Jack shuddered slightly, staring at Martin in disbelief.
