Two guards in blue uniforms guided the carriage, leading Rence and Marge away from the narrow streets of the town.
Robin, accompanied by a group of eleven clite warrior from Dragon Soul, was rushing toward Plemouth.
A gentle night rain tapped softly on the windows.
The 30-mile journey seemed to stretch on endlessly in silence.
These formidable warriors, once revered for their victories in battle, had been shattered by the catastrophe of two decades ago. Once masters solitude.
of their destiny, they retreated into obscurity, avoiding attention and living quietly in
But the darkness of the world didn't care for patience or kindness.
The winds would not calm just because the tree wished for peace.
One's heart might desire goodness, yet they might be met with disgrace!
In this cursed world where justice was twisted, the righteous were punished, while the wicked are lauded!
The common folk revel in joy, while the noble are left alone, nursing their wounds in the quiet of the night.
Robin's intense, lethal presence filled the air, palpable to all who were near.
"Master Ramsey," Jack began, "Twenty years ago, General Delgado returned to the capital after completing his mission, only to discover something had gone terribly wrong at Dragon Manor. He went to the Inspection Bureau alone to seek answers, but none were given. H ranking officials.
"He left Brighton quietly, with the help of General Monroe and a few others.
"General Delgado stood outside Dragon Manor the entire night, and by morning, he had vanished.
"Recently, we uncovered that General Delgado traveled to Plemouth two decades ago, assumed the name Dash Quinlan, and has lived there in seclusion with his family ever since.
"However, even after all this time, he never stopped his investigation into the Dragon Manor incident.
"Eventually, Delgado and his wife, Lucinda Powers, had two children.
"To support their family and fund the investigation, Lucinda used their savings to launch a business.
The Powers family was deeply involved in trade, once among the wealthiest families in Westeria.
"Lucinda had a sharp business mind, and soon her venture flourished.
"In time, her company grew into Plemouth's largest conglomerate, Delgado Enterprise.
So, they kept the name Delgado Enterprise.
"Yet, for nearly twenty years, Spike's investigation led nowhere. The constant frustration took a toll on him, eventually leading to a grave illness.
"Lucinda, stepping back to care for him, handed the reins of the business to their children, Travis and Rylee.
"Both of them were capable, and they quickly expanded the business, doubling its size in just two years.
"But two months ago, disaster struck, Rylec disappeared, and Travis, along with his wife Madelyn, took their own lives."
Jack sighed deeply. "Spike, already in poor health, has lost both of his children. He is now on the verge of death...
Robin's voice was frigid. "Have you clarified the situation surrounding General Delgado's family?"

"We just found out and are sending people to investigate," Jack responded quickly.
Robin tapped a message into his phone, sending it to a secure intelligence network. "Investigate the cause of the bankruptcy of Plemouth's Delgado Enterprise." The carriage's wheels ground over the memories of the past, bringing them to the surface.
The night, heavy and suffocating, seemed to choke the lonely remnants of lost things and vanished people.
For several minutes, Robin remained silent, staring out the window at the muddy road, his face a mask of concentration.
The air inside the carriage was thick with tension. Every breath felt perilous.
Those minutes dragged on like hours.
Suddenly, the sharp ping of a new message shattered the oppressive silence.
Robin glanced at his phone, and a series of cold, harsh messages appeared on the screen.
"The Dixon and Cravens families of Plemouth had designs on Delgado Enterprise During Dash's illness, they set a trap to ruin the company, driving Travis and his wife to suicide, which led to the collapse of the company.
"The collapse of Delgado Enterprise:
"The Dixon and Cravens families bribed six Plemouth banks, along with Herbert Lloyd, the Minister of Investment at Delgado Enterprise, to accept loans totaling 300
billion. The agreement required quarterly interest payments for ten years and full repayment at the end of the term.
"The entire 300 billion was obtained within a month.
"Herbert's plan had the funds allocated for real estate, medical equipment, and international trade.
"Everything seemed fine until the money had all been allocated. Then, the banks suddenly terminated the loans, citing misuse of funds and suspicious investments, demanding full repayment within three months. "What was once a thriving enterprise now faced a financial crisis.
"To make matters worse. Herbert tricked Travis into signing a loan agreement with local loan sharks for an additional 100 billion, sealing the company's fate."
Robin's eyes gleamed with barely contained rage as he read through the details.
He inhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down, and continued reading.
"Camden Dixon, the eldest son of Dixon Group's Pacific Enterprise, once intensely courted Rylee.
"When she rejected him, he turned to Lily Craven, who had always shown interest in him.
"Currently, Rylee's cosmetic company is controlled by the Cravens, and the Dixon Group has seized Delgado Enterprise's headquarters.
"Tomorrow at 9 AM, Camden will hold a press conference at Delgado Tower to announce the takeover of Delgado Enterprise."
Robin closed his phone, his face an
icy mask. "Jack, in the name of the Golden Dragon Order, send an immediate message to Plemouth's defense captain. I want him at the Delgado's hospital in one hour."
"Right away!" Jack responded,iquickly sending out the orders.
In moments, Regional Commander Karter, overseeing Plemouth's defense, sounded the rallying horn. A thousand guards began their march toward Delgado Enterprise Medical Group.
The night of Valentine's Day deepened; the wind howled and the rain intensified.noveldrama
Plemouth's dark streets echoed with the sounds of revelry, love, and deception.
For the common folk, such matters-drunken joy and fleeting pleasures-were more pressing than distant struggles.
As long as survival was secured, food, drink, and entertainment were all that truly mattered.
The convoy of generals, their vehicles arranged with precision, came to a stop at the plaza across from Delgado Enterprise's hospital.
Robin ordered everyone to remain in the vehicles.
Only Jack and Ferell accompanied him to the ICU on the third floor.
The three powerful figures strode through the hospital lobby, sending a chilling breeze through the space.
Such overwhelming presence!
Such poise and authority!
The families in the lobby, stunned by the sight, watched in awe.
Plemouth had never seen such figures before!

As they passed, the crowd stood still, mesmerized by their energy, admiring them in silence.
But before they could fully grasp it, the figures, as graceful as the wind, b wistful gazes and soft sighs of regret.
Some even questioned if the entire scene had been a dream.
