Dubh let out a cold snort, a hint of disdain flickering in his eyes.

Neasan hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Mr. Keegan, I watched the entire battle unfold between Drakebane and the forces on the high seas of Panacea Ocean. That man … he is terrifyingly strong.

“He even possesses the super weapon launch system. Sakurania’s three naval fleets were completely helpless against him, and in the end, he wiped them all out.

“Not only that, but he had the Thalrex Order and the Aldridge family’s naval forces backing him. With such overwhelming power, I fear we might not be able to stand against him.”

Dubh chuckled. “Elijah may have lost to Drakebane, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take him down.

“Back then, Elijah and I were evenly matched, but that was over 30 years ago.

“For the past 20 years, I have been honing my martial arts at Zrifsas Lake, and my techniques have undergone a significant transformation.

“Drakebane is only in his early 20s. No matter how formidable he is, he cannot compare to my nearly 60 years of martial arts cultivation.

“Elijah perished on the peak of Mount Fuoco during his fight with Drakebane. It seems that over the past 30 years, he did nothing but reflect in isolation without making any progress.

“What a pity. The events of the past have dulled his fighting spirit.

“But I am different. I have been in seclusion for the past two decades, meticulously refining my skills, and have now reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

“Drakebane, with his shallow martial arts foundation and undeveloped techniques, could never hope to withstand the might of my 60 years of cultivation.”

Neasan nodded in admiration. “Congratulations, Mr. Keegan, your ambition is finally about to be realized.

“Yesterday, aboard the Neuno Cruise, Drakebane killed Ryden Valthar–the eldest son of Aeron Valthar, head of the Valthar family. I suspect that Aeron will come to see you today.”

Dubh smirked indifferently. “If that’s the case, Aeron will surely ask me to come out of seclusion and avenge

his son.

“Drakebane has entered Sogas for the Nine Stars Group. A clash between them is inevitable.

“Neasan, go make the necessary arrangements. It would be best if we could drag Elaria’s martial artists into this mess as well. Let this escalate into an all–out war against Drakebane.

“When that time comes, I will have the perfect reason to claim the ancient relic.

“Once I obtain the ancient relic, I will become the god of this world!”

After leaving the Nine Stars Biosciences Institute, Robin, Daphne, and Rita made their way toward the Nine

Stars Tower.

As their vehicle entered West Crescent Avenue in Solas, they spotted a group of Elaria’s pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement officers chasing two women down the street.

Robin’s eyes widened in sudden recognition.

The silhouette of one of the women was all too familiar.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Ramsey?” Daphne noticed the sudden shift in his demeanor.

Following his gaze, her cold eyes flickered with surprise.

It’s Alice Miller.

What is she doing here?

“Mr. Ramsey, should we help her?”

Robin hesitated before shaking his head. “No. Leave it be.”

A moment later, Alice and the other woman reached the intersection of West Crescent Avenue, turning left onto another street before vanishing from sight.

Isn’t Alice supposed to be working at the Harmonfield Hotel? Why is she here in Elaria?

More importantly, why is she being pursued by Elaria’s pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement team?

She looked completely disheveled.

Robin had arranged for Alice to work at the Harmonfield Hotel to ensure she wouldn’t be disturbed. Had he mistaken someone else for her?

The car moved on, but a heavy silence filled the space within.

Robin rolled down the window, letting in a gust of fresh air.

A bitter, damp cold swept through the car, carrying an eerie chill.

It swept through the cabin, laced with an eerie coldness.

He recalled meeting Alice in Harmonfield a year ago–the initial thrill, the growing disappointment, the lingering disdain.

With time, all those once–intense emotions had faded into distant memories, buried beneath the dust of the past.

Robin spoke with indifference. “How’s Alice doing lately?”

Daphne furrowed her brows slightly. “Mr. Ramsey, she has been working at the Harmonfield Hotel for some time. Her life has finally settled down.

“Any talk about her has mostly died down as well.

“I have no idea why she came to Elaria or why the enforcement team is after her.

“Mr. Ramsey, should we look into it?”

Robin waved a hand dismissively. “There’s no need.

“Everyone has their own path to walk. She and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Let her handle her own affairs.”

Seeing Robin’s cold expression, Daphne swallowed the words she had been about to say.

The car fell silent once more, thick with an oppressive uncase.

The route to Nine Stars Tower was straightforward: a left turn at the northernmost junction of West Crescent Avenue in Solas, followed by a short passage through an old street.

Five minutes later, the car turned onto a narrow, old street.

Suddenly, Rita slammed on the brakes. A woman had crashed straight into their car.

The moment she lifted her head, Rita, Daphne, and Robin froze completely.

It was a pale, haggard face–one filled with desperation and fear.

“Alice, what’s going on?” Rita asked through the window.

“Stop running!”

A stern voice rang out from the alley entrance.

Several Elaria pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement officers seized Alice and another woman by the

arms.

“Mr. Ramsey?” Daphne looked at Robin.

Robin met Alice’s hopeless gaze. After a brief hesitation, he nodded silently.

Without hesitation, Rita pushed open the car door and pointed at the officers. “Stop right there!” noveldrama

Daphne followed suit, stepping forward to block them.

Alice lowered her gaze in a panic and suddenly screamed at the officers, “Just arrest me already!”

Daphne and Rita approached them. “Wait a minute. She crashed into my car. She needs to stay.”

One of the officers stepped forward to explain, “Miss, she violated our laws. We have to take her in. If you need compensation, you can come to the police station with us.”

Daphne’s gaze turned icy. “I said let her go!”

“Sorry, but we can’t do that.” The officer’s tone was firm. “Step aside.”

Smack!

Rita slapped the officer across the face. “I said, let them go!”

The officers immediately drew their stun batons.

The tension in the alley soared in an instant.

Just then, a Maybach pulled up, blocking the street.

“Captain O’Connell, what’s going on?”

Thorne stepped out of the car.

When his eyes landed on Daphne and Rita, he stiffened.

Drakebane’s personal attendants!

His gaze instinctively darted toward the car.

Inside, Drakebane sat in composed silence.

Thorne instantly grasped the situation.

“Good evening, Mr. Winterstrike.” The officers bowed respectfully.

“Let her go. Get out of here,” Thorne ordered coldly.

As the captain of the pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement team, it was natural for Martin O’Connell to recognize Thorne, the top martial artist of Elaria.

But more importantly, he knew who stood behind him–the major conglomerates of Elaria.

Even the director of the Pharmaceutical Regulatory Bureau had to bow in respect when facing Thorne.

For mere officers like them, defiance was out of the question.

“Yes, Mr. Winterstrike.” They immediately released Alice.

Alice gave Daphne and Robin a deep bow, then turned and ran away.

Robin’s eyes followed her retreating figure, his gaze filled with doubt.

What’s wrong with this woman?
