Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters.

The meeting to finalize the rules for the last round of the military martial tournament had wrapped up at 11 am sharp.

All seven special forces from the various military regions left one after another as the meeting concluded.

In 11 days, they'd face a life-or-death competition.

The outcome of this round was fated to see two teams eliminated and disbanded.

Just after leaving Command Headquarters, Robin goa call from Jonah

"Mr. Ramsey, where are you right now?

The anniversary celebration at my alma mater just wrapped up. Before I leave the provincial capital. I'd like to grab a meal with you. Robin glanced at the street in front of Command Headquarters. "I just finished a meeting and Imon Westhill Road in the city," he said. "What a coincidence, Mr. Ramsey!" Jonah replied, sounding excited. "Ill drive over to pick you up."

Robin checked the time. "All right, I could use some time to clear my head. Send me your location; I'll drive over myself.

After hanging up. Robin turned to Ernest. "You guys can hop out and catch a ride with Commander Colton up front. I'll be taking this car

Sitting in the back seat. Talia perked up immediately Mr. Robin. I was actually hoping to pick up some essentials while we're here in the provincial capital. How about I stick with you in the car? I'll head back to base with you tonight." Robin nodded. "Sounds good

Talia nudged Freya and whispered. "Colonel Wright, why don't you stick around with me and hang out in the city for a bit? I'll be bored on my own."

Freya was about to say no, but Talia leaned close to her ear and murmured. I'm setting you up for some quality time."

Freya's cheeks went pink, and she lightly smacked Tal on the head. "Get lost!"

Talia pouted "So, you're really not coming with me?"

Freya stole a quick glance at Robin. "Who said I didnt want to stick around? I need to pick up some essentials too."

Mark, sitting next to Ernest, chimed in. I'll come too need to get some essentials myself."

"Get lost!" Talia shot him a glare. "We're buying ladies essentials. You coming too?"

Ernest gave him a smack on the head. "Get back with me and start training."

Mark rolled his eyes. "Fine. Next life, I'm coming back as a woman. And a total knockout, too."

"Get out!" Ernest hoisted him out of the car without hesitation.

"In your next life, if you come back as a woman, you'll be dark, fat, and ugly."

With that. Talia took the wheel and drove toward the Springdale Grand Hotel where Jonah had sent the location. They pulled into the hotel parking lot.

Talia kept insisting on sticking with Robin through lunch at the hotel, and then heading out to shop together.

Robin had no choice but to bring them along.

Just as they stepped through the doors of the Springdale Grand Hotel, he spotted a familiar figure.

Jonah's wife-Leigh!

At that moment. Leigh was holding onto Patrick's arm and the two of them were walking up to the second. floor, looking cozy and affectionate.. Robin let out a cold smile.

By now, she had probably siphoned off most of Jonah's money.

A while back, he'd asked Leonardo to keep tabs on a company called Regentis Group, registered in Qurgh, which Leigh and Patrick had set up.

He wondered how things were progressing.

As Robin was thinking about this, Leonardo sent him message.

He was already in Brookhaven, Draconia, handling some business there, and planned to head to Harmonfield later in the afternoon.

Leonardo also mentioned that he'd gathered information on how Jonah's personal funds and the assets of Southvale Development Group had been moved to Regentis Group in Qurgh. Robin sent Leonardo his location, telling him to meet him at the Springdale Grand Hotel.

Jonah happened to be here today, and-by pure coincidence-so were his wife Leigh and Patrick.

With everyone here, it seemed like the perfect time to settle this.

If it hadn't been discovered early, this scheming woman would have drained Southvale Development Group dry, and Jonah would have fallen into ruin again.

Just as Robin finished sending the message. Jonah came rushing down the stairs.

"Mr. Ramsey! I had a feeling you'd already arrived, and sure enough, the moment I stepped out of the

private room, there you were," Jonah said excitedly as be approached Robin in a few quick strides.

He glanced at Freya and Talia standing beside Robin. Ah, Ms. Wright, hello."

Freya nodded. "I came along with Robin for the meeting

Talia introduced herself. "Hello, Mr. Ferguson, I'm Talia. Mr. Robin's teammate."

Jonah nodded. "Great, the more, the merrier. Come on. I booked a private room-Room 205-on the second floor.

Once they were inside, Jonah beamed and said, "Mr. Ramsey, I gave an inspirational speech at my alma mater today. "Since I signed a donation agreement with them, they even gave me an honorary title.

They're calling me a successful entrepreneur now, even listing me as one of the school's most distinguished alumni.

"Sigh, thinking back to those tough years. I never would've dared to imagine these kinds of titles.

"Honestly, I used to think these were all just empty labels. I wasn't really interested-figured I was just buying a bit of recognition with some money for the school.

"But now, I'm starting to see that these titles actually matter.

They make even a mediocre business look more respectable.

"To put it bluntly, it gives me a bit of status.

With status comes a certain level of social standing.

"Anywhere I go, I can put on a more high-class appearance. Hahaha...

"The school leadership told me that in this society, especially in high society, everyone helps each other out. The higher you're lifted by others, the higher you can go. "There's a saying, isn't there? "Your success depends on others!"

Robin watched Jonah's excitement, sensing the thrill this alumni event had given him.

Fame and recognition are incredibly tempting for an ordinary person.noveldrama

But these temptations can always turn into a double-edged sword, hurting the one who wields them.

About two weeks ago, the alumni association reached out to me. They even came to Harmonfield a few rimes, Jonah continued.

They originally wanted me to donate 500 million, but I was worried about my cash flow, so I didn't agree to that amount. I promised them 200 million instead. "That money's all from my personal assets.

"Leigh told me that she was planning to use our family funds to invest in some properties overseas.

"So, I just gave the school 200 million. Leigh handled the whole thing.

"Mr. Ramsey, look-my name's already up on the alumni page as one of the notable graduates. Jonah pulled up Google on his phone and held it out to Robin.

"I used to be nothing, just a washed-up guy at rock bottom, but now I'm a successful entrepreneur, all thanks to your help, Mr. Ramsey,

"If it weren't for you. I'd be ruined by now."

"Mr. Ramsey, you're my savior!"

Robin smiled. "There's no need to keep bringing that up.

"In a little while, someone else will be joining us. Let's chat more over lunch.

Watching Jonah's joyful, triumphant expression, Robin sighed internally.

He really didn't have the heart to shatter Jonah's dream
