Chapter 719 The Scavenging Woman from Two Decades Ago
Robin turned slowly, his gaze locking with Steven's, his eyes revealing nothing but a deep, lingering sadness and nostalgia.
Steven realized his lapse in composure and let out a log sigh.
"Mr. Ramsey, my apologies. As we grow older, nostalgia creeps in, and we can't help but feel à sense of melancholy for days gone by.
"Talking about events from the past always stirs up regrets. It feels like everything happened just yesterday.
"Things have changed. People have changed and everything has been swept away by time,"
Robin nodded slightly. "Yes, all the joy, sorrow, anger, and grievances... eventually, they fade into nothing
The past must be settled before we can truly move on Unresolved issues should be addressed, or th who are no longer with us won't be at peace."
Steven was taken aback by Robin's calm, detached tone. It was so familiar, so cold.
"Mr. Steven, are you implying that, on the night of the Dragon Manor disaster, the eldest grandson of the Dragon Lord, the young heir, wasn't among the victims, but instead, someone saved him?" Robin asked, his voice unwavering. Steven hesitated, trying to figure out why Robin was bringing this up.
"Mr. Ramsey, that's only my speculation, my own assumptions," Steven said cautiously. "Why are you so interested in this?"
Robin's lips curled into a faint smile. "I was just curious.
"Recently, I overheard someone talking about the mysterious events that shook the high society of Draconia 20 years ago. That's what sparked my interest.
"I came across information from Westeria Residence's intelligence network that tracked your movements that night, which led me to ask you about it." "Let's get straight to the point." Robin's tone grew colder.
"Apart from the possibility that the young heir was saved, what about the daughter of Young Lord Dragon?
"According to reports from several official sources in Draconia, the Inspectorate couldn't find the girl's body during their investigation. "Based on what you witnessed that night, do you have any information or evidence suggesting what might have happened to her?" Steven's brow furrowed, and his hands trembled slightly
"Mr. Ramsey, you..." a mix of hope andnoveldrama
Steven faltered, catching the look in Robin's eyes, which carried something darker-vengeance.

Robin paused, his voice as cold as ice. "You don't need answer, but eventually, all the truths will come to light
Steven's eyes locked with Robin's, and for a brief moment, time seemed to bend
Young Lord Dragon!
He almost said it aloud.
"M-Mr. Ramsey, I'm not sure why you're asking this, but I can tell you everything, I know. Just please. Keep it confidentiall" Steven whispered urgently. "Because revealing this could lead to chaos. Robin raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Steven let out a long sigh. "Back then, the case of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon was never fully resolved. That means, if someone really did plot against them....
"Then those responsible are aware that the Young Lord Dragon's children might still be alive. The consequences could be catastrophic.
"I know that during those years, the Great Royal Houses, even Dragon Palace, quietly looked into the matter. But they never found satisfactory answers.
"There's a rumor that Dragon Lord's Twelve Great Warriors, except for Jack, all disappeared. All Il of them vanished without a trace.
"The sudden disappearance of these remarkable fighters has fueled many theories.
"Some believe they're dead. Others say they chose to go into hiding, leaving the world behind. And there's a belief that they are still out there, quietly seeking the true culprits of the Dragon Manor disaster, waiting for the right moment to avenge their lord and family... Steven suddenly paused. Tve said too much ..... "
Robin nodded. "Please, go on. What did you see that night at Dragon Manor?"
Steven gave a bitter smile. "I saw a shadowy figure take the boy. I tried to follow, but they moved tool quickly, disappearing in an instant.
"I kept chasing for a while.
"Just when I was about to give up, I noticed a woman with a basket, rummaging through the street corner on the north side of Dragon Manor. "She was thin, probably around 27 or 28 years old.
"I didn't pay much attention at first and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, I suddenly remembered at pendant hanging from her basket.
"I stopped, turned around, and looked closer."
A pendant?" Robin's eyes widened. "What kind of pendant?"
"I couldn't see it clearly, but it looked like an emerald pendant, half in the shape of a heart.

"One side looked like a crescent moon, and the other side like uneven gears.

"At first, I thought it was just a broken emerald pendant-something the scavenging woman found and tossed into her basket.
"But in that instant, I saw a small hand reach out from the basket.
"I clearly remember the fabric of the girl's sleeve. It was the same fabric I had seen earlier that day at Dragon Manor-the same green floral pattern on Young Lord Dragon's daughter's blouse!
"My gut told me that the child in that basket was Young Lord Dragon's daughter!
"I rushed after them. But just then, a car sped past me, and when I looked back, the woman and her basket were gone.
"I searched the street, looking in every corner, but I never found her again.
"To this day, I can't explain how she vanished into thin air."
Robin studied Steven, who seemed to be overcome with regret, and softly asked, "Mr. Steven, based on what you saw that night, can we say that both the Lord Dragon's granddaughter and grandson, who are also Young Lord Dragon's children, survived the disaster at Dragon Manor?"
Steven nodded solemnly.
"Perhaps..." he murmured. "When the Inspectorate later investigated the disaster, there should've been 37 bodies, but only 35 were recovered.
"After closer examination, the two missing bodies were identified as the Young Lord Dragon's daughter and son."
Robin sighed deeply. "Mr. Steven, one final question. What did the scavenging woman look like?"
