Chapter 860 I Carry an Important Mission
Jethro hurriedly stepped aside to make way.
He wanted to speak up and advise Robin to calm down, but the words died on his lips.
He knew his place.

What Robin was doing wasn't something he, a head of the Military External Affairs Bureau, could casually interfere with.
He coldly scolded, "Mr. Mickton, you're only making things worse for yourselves!
"I forgot to mention carlier-those generals you spoke of couldn't even last a single move before Commander-in-chief Ramsey!
"The military officer you brought here is nothing more than a joke. Before Commander-in-chief Ramsey even lifts a finger, he's already down.
"I have to ask you-do you think with strength like Zayden, does the Thalrex Order have any right to give orders to Commander-in-chief Ramsey? "You're arrogant! Think too highly of yourselves!
"You hide behind the title granted to you, wearing the uniforms, and think you can bully everyone.
"That's nonsense!
"Take off those clothes, and without the Thalrex Order backing you, try acting tough in the outside world!
"At that point, you're nothing!
"Dare to act disrespectfully again, and anyone can put you in your place!"
Jethro's anger shook the dust in the beam of light, sending it scattering in every direction.
The conference room fell into a suffocating silence.
All the fleeting moments came to a halt in this frozen moment, suspended in stillness!
A slanting ray of the setting sun streamed through the large windows of the conference room.
Like a spotlight piercing through the vast, dark sky of the galaxy, the light surrounded Robin's tall figure, casting him in a glorious glow.
The crimson hues of the setting sun blended with the distorted, hazy air of time, creating an almost dreamlike vision in that radiant silhouette, like the light of memory flowing through time.
Anton looked in astonishment at the familiar figure in the smoke of the sunset, instinctively adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Wait... Commander-in-chief Ramsey."
Jethro was momentarily stunned, sensing something odd in Anton's expression.

It wasn't anger, nor regret, but an inexplicable mixture of excitement and sadness.
"You two!" Anton pointed at the trembling Zayden and Trix on the floor.

"Go to the waiting area outside! I have important matters to discuss privately with Commander-in-chief Ramsey and General Quintana."
Trix, with a slight frown, instinctively glanced at Robin figure in the light.
She had sense the change in Anton's emotions and immediately helped Zayden up to leave.
"Commander-in-chief Ramsey, I have an important question I need to ask you," Anton said as he walked toward Robin, his tone much more respectful now. Robin slowly turned around, noticing the shift in Anton's tone.
"Are you doubting my strength?
"If you're still going to waste time on trivial matters, I don't have the patience to entertain bureaucrats like you!
Anton shook his head in apology. "Please don't be angry. I'm not wasting your time.
"Please give me a moment; I truly have something very important to ask."
As Zayden passed by Robin, he glared coldly at him. "I challenge you to a fair fight."
"Get lost!" Robin scoffed. "You're not worthy!"
"You j*rk!" Zayden's rage flared, his arm bulging with thick veins.
Anton, furious, shouted, "Zayden, how dare you speak to your superior like that? Get out!"
Zayden immediately shut up, stunned, looking at Anton in confusion.
What's wrong with him today? Why was this External Director acting so erratically?
Was he having a split personality?
Trix tugged on him and whispered, "Zayden, why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
"What's wrong with Mr. Mickton?" Zayden asked in confusion.
Trix tugged his lips and said, "What do you think? Isn't it because your incompetence embarrassed the Thalrex Order, and that's why Mr. Mickton is so angry?" She quickly pulled him toward the exit, stealing a glance at Robin.
His handsome, commanding face instantly made her heart flutter.
What a stunningly attractive man!
His aura of superiority made even her, a self-proclaimed powerful woman, feel small.
"Me Naillon what are you waiting for? Hurry un and level" Anton enanned cnanning Triv out of her

Trix swallowed hard, nearly choking, but after a moment, she quickly swallowed the saliva and rushed out of the room, pulling the confused Zayden behind her. As they reached the door, Trix couldn't help but throw Robin one last smile.
Zayden and Trix exited the conference room, and the guards at Quintana Residence immediately pressed the button to close the door.
The conference room was left with only Jethro, Robin, and Anton.
The vast space was silent, almost eerie.
Robin stepped out of the beam of sunset and sat down at the conference table. "Go ahead, Mr. Mickton. What is this mysterious mission you're carrying?"
Anton's eyes brightened. He said, "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, you saw through my intentions?"
"A person, no matter how clever or skilled in deception, can't hide the subtle actions or the fleeting light in their eyes," Robin said sharply.
"All along, you weren't doubting my strength. You were just confirming your suspicions.
"I don't like your behavior!
"If you weren't our collaborator, the three of you from the Thalrex Order would already be corpses."
Anton gasped, shocked.
Before coming here, Thalrex Order's higher-ups had warned him that the commander leading this team was a formidable man. Seeing it firsthand, it was true.
Jethro didn't quite understand what Robin had said, so he stepped closer. "Master Ramsey, what mysterious mission are they carrying?" Anton froze at the mention of Robin's name, "Master Ramsey? Since when did Dragon Manor have someone called Master Ramsey?" Jethro immediately fell silent.
In his haste, he had forgotten the confidentiality agreement of the previous meeting.
Until the mystery of the Dragon Manor tragedy was resolved, Robin's identity was to remain a secret.
Jethro nervously looked at Robin.noveldrama
Robin ignored him and pointed to Anton. "What is it you want to tell me? Speak."
Anton remained standing, his eyes fixed on Robin with intensity.

"Are you Master Ramsey? Are you the Young Lord Dragon's youngest child?"
"Yes." Jethro glanced at Robin and nodded. "Mr. Mickton, this matter is still confidential.
"The tragedy of Dragon Manor hasn't been resolved, and Master Ramsey needs time and space to investigate the case thoroughly."

Anton froze, then agitatedly bowed deeply before Robin. He said, "Master Ramsey, I apologize for my earlier behavior. It was out of necessity.
"I am here on orders from the Thalrex Order's high command to attend a summit at Qacalisle Island. I bear an important mission that I cannot afford to take lightly." Anton remained standing, his eyes fixed on Robin with intensity.
