In the Presidential Suite of the Brookhaven Grand Hotel. Robin sat back on the couch, his legs stretched. out on the coffee table. He looked relaxed, but his eyes were sharp. "Come in," he said, his voice calm.
A man in black stepped into the room and immediately knelt before him. "Sir," he said, lowering his head.
Robin didn't move, his eyes still closed. "Any news on the Dragon Manor robbery? The one from 20 years
The man responded, "Sir, we're still working on it. There were more than 30 dark groups involved, but it's not fully clear yet."
"We're focusing on the Dark Lords, the Northern Star Sword Schooll, and some martial arts families from Draconia, as well as the Poison King Sect."noveldrama
"The investigation is still ongoing. We'll have answers soon."
"Dragon Manor had no prior conflict with these groups.
"We're still trying to understand why they attacked together."
He went on, "We've also learned that the Seven Kings from Draconia were delayed in arriving to help during the heist. They were held up by delayed orders from the Seven Great Royal Houses." Robin's gaze sharpened. "Delayed orders? Who gave them those orders?"
"The orders came from the Dragon Palace," the man answered. "It was led by the head of the Eight Kings." "We've found out that it was Colonel Maurice Quattro who was in charge that night. He was the officer on duty. He died of illness a year after the heist," "So, the person who gave the orders remains unknown."
Robin's tone hardened. "Keep looking into it."
"Yes, Sir," the man said, bowing his head.
The silence stretched on, and the man stood still, waiting.
Finally, he spoke up. "Sir, is there anything else you need from me?"
Robin stretched, yawning. "Anything you're not telling me?"
The man stiffened, his voice shaking. "Sir, I... I dare not speak of it."
"Answer me," Robin said, his voice colder now. "Old Fred told you to follow me. What other orders do you have?"
The man quickly knelt. "I can't say, Sir."
Robin's voice turned icy. "Can't say? Does that mean you're refusing to obey me?"
"Sir, Old Fred said we must keep everything secret... even about you." The man's voice trembled as he

"Speak now." Robin demanded, his voice hard. Tell me what Old Fred wants. Or I'll make sure you never speak again." The black-clad man flinched. "But if I speak, Old Fred and Lady Sophie will kill me. Please. Sir... don't make me Robin flicked his sleeve, his expression unreadable. "You'll die either way. Speak, and I might show mercy." The man stayed silent, his head bowed, barely whispering, "Sir...
"I know Sophie's rules, Robin said with a cold smile. "Once orders are broken, there's no mercy."
He paused for a moment, then added, "But if Sophie causes trouble. I'll make sure Old Fred divorces her."
The black-clad assassin hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Old Fred told us to protect you, but he also ordered us to find an emerald pendant lost in the Dragon Manor heist 20 years ago."
"An emerald pendant? What kind of pendant? Robin asked, suddenly alert.
The man replied, "A phoenix emerald pendant."
Robin froze for a second. "Phoenix emerald pendant?"
He turned his gaze toward the dark window. He remembered the phoenix emerald pendant in Marge's
hand.
Could that be the pendant Old Fred was searching for?
Was there a connection between Marge and Old Fred?
Was Joanna Old Fred's lost daughter from years ago?
Robin slowly turned and walked over to the Dark Web assassin. "Alright," he said quietly. "For now, keep this from Old Fred."
The assassin blinked in surprise. "Sir...".
"Is it really that hard?" Robin asked, his voice cold.
"Yes, Sir," the assassin replied.
"I'll speak with Old Fred and Sophie about this in a few days. It has nothing to do with you," Robin said firmly.
"Yes, Sir, the man said, bowing his head.
"Now, drop everything. Focus entirely on the investigation into the Dragon Manor heist from 20 years ago. Report any findings to me immediately!" Robin commanded. Urs. Sir."
At 7 a.m., in the Brighton Springpeak film studio...

Tiffany, the tritagonist of the Luminous Studio production, was chatting excitedly with several actors. about the lead female role in the upcoming film.
"Mr. Horseshoe says my image, my style, and everything about me is perfect for the lead role, Tiffany said, her eyes shining. This script feels like it was written just for me."
The male lead interjected, "Tiffany, the director has already decided. The lead female role is for Ms. Annie. Luminous Studio's headquarters has already approved it. How can Mr. Horseshoe just change it?" Tiffany raised her chin proudly. "Mr. Horseshoe will submit the change to headquarters today. And Mr. Jamie Lynch, the investor, will increase his investment for me."
I'm saying I'll play the lead role. If I don't, Mr. Lynch said they'll pull their funding.
The second female lead laughed and shook her head. "Tiffany, Luminous Studio is inuch stronger than the Lynch family of Brighton."
"Plus, Mr. Leonardo from Luminous Studio doesn't lack money. No one can touch the role he's decided
on."
"Mr. Leonardo personally chose Annie to play the lead. How can Mr. Horseshoe just change it? Doesn't he fear Leonardo might fire him?"
A sly smile appeared in Tiffany's eyes. "But what if Annie throws a tantrum and refuses to play?"
"Annie's in Draconia. She has to come," the male lead sneered.
The crew had been focused on filming the outdoor scenes the night Annie fell. They didn't know anything..... about what had happened.
Meanwhile, the authorities in Draconia had moved fast to erase all footage from the scene at Brookhaven Residence.
By morning, the crew was still in the dark about Annie's accident.
The second female lead gave a dismissive smile. "Annie's big, sure. But she's never acted like some kind of star. She's always been kind to us. There's no way she'd back out like you say." Tiffany threw her head back and laughed. "Wanna bet? I promise you, Annie won't show up. And once she's gone, she'll never come back. Watch."
A voice cut through the tension. "Even if Annie doesn't come, you won't be the lead. You won't even get a role, trash."
Tiffany's face twisted in anger. Her eyes sparked with fury.
"And who are you?" she spat. "Coming in here and messing with our show?"
The crew turned, watching Robin walk toward them. They instinctively stepped aside, creating a path for
him.
Tiffany sneered, hands on her hips. "Mr. Horseshoe said if Annie can't make it, I'm the one for the lead. You're not even part of this crew. Get out."
Robin didn't flinch. He met her gaze with a hard stare. "No matter what happens, you'll never be the lead, You're not even good enough for the third spot.
