"Is the upcoming International Military Martial Tournament related to the newly discovered energy distribution?"
When the group heard Jethro's statement, they all almost simultaneously voiced the same question.
The looks in their eyes were mixed with a complex cination.
Jethro, observing their reactions, nodded. "Yes, that's right. I've just received a notice from higher authorities about this.
"The specific details will be announced during the pre-tournament meeting at Qacalisle Island in the South Panacea Ocean. The meeting will begin the day after tomorrow at 9 AM.
"From what I know, this tournament will be the most high-profile one in the past 20 years.
"The last tournament 20 years ago, which Young Lord Dragon participated in, was also unprecedented in scale.
"My father attended that Qacalisle Summit Meeting.
"He told me that this year's event will be even grander than the one led by Young Lord Dragon.
"In recent years, the military martial tournaments have been quite different in terms of structure, content, and objectives.

"The tournaments were limited to regular special forces from each country, and the organizing committee was formed from mid- to senior-level military training designers from the participating nations. They were responsible for designing the schedule, events, rules, and judging.
"But this time, the tournament will be overseen by the highest commander of a highly secretive international organization, who will be involved in both designing the tournament and overseeing the judging.
"I don't yet have clearance to learn about this mysterious organization.

"The organization's auditing department is currently scrutinizing both my and Master Ramsey's identities, and we should know the results tonight.
"Once we've passed their approval, can we access the more classified parts of the meeting on Qacalisle Island the day after tomorrow? "Otherwise, the extent of our understanding of the event will be limited to basic details, like the tournament schedule.
"One thing for sure: this tournament is far more important and mysterious than previous ones
The Summit Meeting's participants will include the tournament's Diplomatic Officer and the Commander-in-Chief of the participating teams.
"There will also be a senior technical expert from our side, although I don't yet know who that is.
"We won't know how the tournament will be arranged until we arrive on Qacalisle Island the day after

"There are only eight days left until the competition, but there's one task still pending.
"Higher-up is eager for us to finalize the list of participants.
"They are looking forward to the outcome of this tournament.
"They hope our people will qualify for that secretive realm. 48 Pearls
"Secret realm?" Robin asked, confused. "What do you mean? What is its function? What is its purpose?"
"The Commander of the high-level governing body has revealed some information about this organization. This secretive realm is tied to the world's broader interests. Robin shook his head. "I don't care about the world's interests. I only care about those that directly affect
me."
Jethro awkwardly smiled. "Master Ramsey is right, of course.
"Well, Master Ramsey, I can only say so much about the tournament for now.
"You'll learn more details after you attend the Summit Meeting.
"Tomorrow afternoon, the high-level secret organization will send a private plane directly to Qacalisle Island." The meeting had concluded.
The group departed from Dragon Manor one by one.
Casper walked to the entrance but hesitated to leave. After everyone had left, he approached Robin.
"Master Ramsey, I have something important I need to discuss with you privately."
Robin looked at Casper's serious expression and nodded. "Let's talk in my car."
"Alright." Casper followed Robin into the car, and they sat in silence for a while.
Robin glanced at the thoughtful Casper. "Twenty years ago, when Young Lord Dragon participated in the tournament, the Head of the Diplomatic Affairs Department should have been you, right?" Casper's eyes lit up. "Yes, Master Ramsey. Back then, when Young Lord Dragon led the team, I was the Diplomatic Officer. It was Dragon Lord who personally selected me."
Saying this, Casper's eyes sparkled with a mix of sadness and nostalgia.
Robin understood that Casper was reminiscing about long-buried memories.
The past was like smoke, with things having changed and people long gone.
The helplessness he'd carried in his heart for 20 years felt as if it had just happened yesterday.
He took a deep breath, not wanting to disrupt Casper's reverie.

But a sudden honk of a horn shattered Casper's thoughts and pulled him back to the present.
"Oh. Master Ramsey, I'm sorry, I got lost in thought Casper apologized with a smile.

"Are you trying to tell me that this tournament has the same significance as the one from 20 years ago?"
Casper nodded. "Master Ramsey, nothing escapes your sharp eyes!
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to talk about.
"I've been wondering whether the disappearance of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon has something to do with the summit meeting from 20 years ago."
Robin furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?"
Casper furrowed his brow and fell into a long silence.
"20 years ago, I attended the Qacalisle Summit Meeting with Young Lord Dragon.
"Though I didn't have clearance to attend the final, secret meeting and couldn't learn its most confidential details, that summit allowed me to learn some hidden secrets about the higher-ups. "Few are aware of a secret organization composed of top scientists from various nations.
"These scientists were recruited by the organization early on and taken to a mysterious base.
"Every country has such a secret base, and we in Draconia have one as well.
"I don't know the exact location of this organization, nor its primary functions and responsibilities.
"Only individuals of Dragon Lord's status can know about it.
"However, from that high-level summit, I learned that this organization acts as a global command center, gathering the world's top scientific minds.
"They have one key responsibility: ensuring the safety of Earth and humanity.
"Many years ago, scientific institutions across multiple countries hypothesized that Earth and humanity could face threats from extraterrestrial or alien civilizations.
"To prepare for such possibilities, they organized the world's best scientists and trained armed forces with extraordinary personal abilities.
"The regular International Military Martial Tournament was chosen by this organization to carry out this
mission.
"Every ten to twenty years, they intervene in the tournament, selecting special personnel based on their needs.
"Based on Jethro's comments about changes to the tournament's rules and procedures, I suspect that this mysterious organization is once again selecting the personnel it needs.
"Master Ramsey, if you wish to understand what this organization is really up to, and whether the disappearance of your family is connected to it, you might consider infiltrating their inner circle to uncover their true mission.

"I've been observing and investigating for years, but I've never been able to learn the true nature of the organization behind the Summit Meeting.
"Master Ramsey, only by winning this tournament will you gain the right to enter this organization's core.
"Of course, they will still conduct multiple assessments during this process.
"In my opinion, the disaster that struck Dragon Manor 20 years ago, and the strange actions of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon, may find their answers within this organization." "Casper, this information you've given me is invaluable Robin nodded.
"Otherwise, the strange disaster from 20 years ago remains completely unexplained."
