At the heart of the Dragon Palace, in the Ancient Senior General's Mansion, stood Levi Monroe, a man weathered by time.
He appeared as unwavering as a mountain, gazing out from the mansion's expansive viewing platform.
His eyes, aged yet sharp, penetrated the distant horizon where the Dragon Lord's mansion rested atop a far-off peak.
A deep, almost painful nostalgia washed over him as he stared, and his face grew solemn.
"Sigh... Time has truly flown by." Levi let out a soft sigh, his voice barely audible. "Dragon Lord, it's been two decades since you and Young Lord Dragon vanished...
"Where have you both gone? Why haven't you returned?
"I'll spend my last days seeking answers about what happened at Dragon Manor.
"I can only hope that someday, a miracle will bring you both back to the Dragon Palace, where you can once again lead it..."
His quiet thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sharp beeping of his steel wristwatch.
The red lights blinked urgently, signaling an encrypted communication from Jack.
The three blinking dots were a clear sign of emergency
Levi's hand moved swiftly to the safe, and he pulled out a high-tech, encrypted phone.
A message from Jack appeared on the screen:
"Young Lord Dragon's daughter has been located. She is Joanna, a graduate student at Brighton University in the software engineering department. She was kidnapped near Northern Plaza just ten minutes ago. "The abductors are Rhea, a former first-year student expelled from Brighton University, and four accomplices.
"We need the Dragon Palace intelligence network to track Joanna's location!
"It's also confirmed that Young Lord Dragon's youngest son is Robin Ramsey, the Lieutenant Commander-in-Chief of the Special Operations Forces."
Levi couldn't believe what he was reading.
He reread the message, each word sinking in slowly.
The daughter of Young Lord Dragon had been living in Brighton all along.
And Young Lord Dragon's son was none other than Robin.
The weight of this discovery was immense.

But the most crucial detail-the daughter had just been abducted.
s
From Jack's message, it seemed like a simple kidnapping, with no link to the mysterious tragedy at Dragon Manor.
Kidnapping the daughter of Young Lord Dragon?
Whoever is behind this will pay dearly!
It doesn't matter who they are-even if it's the King of Hell, the Dragon Palace will ensure they never recover!
Just as he was about to give orders, the door to his office creaked open.
He quickly ended the encrypted call and returned the phone to its hiding place.
Levi turned, his face now darkening.
The newcomer was Mike Riverson, a middle-aged colonel from the Dragon Palace Information Screening Department.
Levi's brow furrowed in displeasure. "Captain Riverson, who granted you permission to enter without notifying me first?"
Mike snapped to attention and saluted. "General Monroe, I have urgent military matters to report. The sentries informed me you were in the office, so I requested clearance to enter."
"Clearance for what? What could be so urgent to require such a protocol?" Levi's tone was cold as he gestured toward Mike.
Mike placed a report on the desk.
"General Monroe, we've just received word. This morning, Major General Ramsey was spotted in Ferndale. Our security officer, General Grayson, dispatched the Dragon Palace's guards to assist him. "The Dragon Palace's guards supported Robin in eliminating the Sharpes in Ferndale.
"The situation seems suspicious.
"General Grayson ordered the Dragon Palace's guards to aid Robin, even though he has no affiliation with Dragon Palace.
"Several influential families in Brighton have been asking if you're aware of this development."
Levi's voice turned icy. "General Grayson's use of the Dragon Palace's guards was an order from me."
Mike blinked in surprise. "It was your direct order, General Monroe? That explains why our Information Screening Department wasn't briefed properly.
"However, there's a concerning matter here.
"Brighton's prominent families and several organizations have expressed dissatisfaction with Dragon Palace's involvement."
"Dissatisfaction? Should Dragon Palace have to explain itself to them?" Levi's voice was sharp as a blade.

Mike hesitated before speaking. "It's just that these families-
"This is Dragon Palace's confidential business! If they don't like it, they'll have to deal with it" Levi rased his hand, signaling the end of the discussion. "That's enough. You're diuined" Mike glanced at the safe before replying quickly. "Understood, General Monroe
Levi watched Mike leave and turned back to the safe. Prewing a button, he summoned his head of security.
Moments later, the door on the northwest side of the room opened, revealing Tony Wells, a 40-year-old major general.
Tony, Levi's personal guard and head of the Ancient Senior General's Mansion security, stepped inside. "General Monroe."
Levi handed Tony an order. "How many visible and covert guards are stationed around the mansion?"
"Eight in total, General Monroe. Three lieutenant colonels and five colonels, Tony answered after taking the order.
For how long have they been here?"
"Three years, General Monroe."
Levi nodded. "Good. They should be reassigned to more critical posts for further training. Promote them each by one rank." Tony acknowledged the order. "Understood, General Monroe."noveldrama
Levi then paused and added, "Gather your shadow operatives and keep a close watch on Mike.
"Also, take this order and activate the Dragon Palace intelligence network. Find Joanna's location. I need results in five minutes!"
Two minutes later, the Dragon Palace intelligence network located the black Mercedes van responsible for the abduction.

The vehicle had arrived at a luxurious lakeside villa in Brighton's eastern suburbs.
Inside, Rhea ripped the tape off the mouths of Joanna and Brenda, grinning as she spoke. "We're here.
"Tonight, you'll both have an unforgettable evening. A night to remember..."
Furious, Brenda demanded, "Rhea, what do you want with us?"
Rhea twisted Brenda's arm, grinning maliciously. "Mr. Kieran and Mr. Jeb fancy you two. I'm just doing them a favor, bringing you here for a 'pleasant night' with them. Hahaha..." "Why are you hurting me and Joanna?" Brenda glared at her. "What you're doing won't just destroy us-it'll ruin you too!

"If my brother finds out, he'll have all of you killed!"

Rhea burst into maniacal laughter. "Your brother? In front of Mr. Kieran and the Fioris, what power does he have?
"Tonight, Mr. Kieran will have his way with you, and it won't matter what your brother does.
"Do you think your brother can stand up to Lord Southmere's grandson, Mr. Kieran? That's a death wish!
"Stop hoping for a rescue. It's impossible!
"You're in the Fioris' territory in Brighton. Your brother will never find you here. Enjoy the night!"
With that, Rhea signaled to the four men, who roughly dragged Brenda and Joanna out of the car and into the grand hall of the villa.
