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 weaponunch system. Sakurania’s three naval fleets werepletely 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 cannotpare 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 istion 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. “Congrattions, 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 wille to see you today.”
Dubh smirked indifferently. “If that’s the case, Aeron will surely ask me toe out of seclusion and avenge
his son.
“Drakebane has entered Sogas for the Nine Stars Group. A sh between them is inevitable.
“Neasan, go make the necessary arrangements. It would be best if we could drag ria’s martial artists into this mess as well. Let this escte into an all–out war against Drakebane.
“When that timees, I will have the perfect reason to im the ancient relic.
“Once I obtain the ancient relic, I will be 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 Ss, they spotted a group of ria’s pharmaceutical regtory 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 <i>Alice </i><i>Miller</i><i>. </i>
<i>What </i><i>is </i><i>she </i><i>doing </i><i>here</i><i>? </i>
“Mr. Ramsey, should we help her?”
Robin hesitated before shaking his head. “No. Leave it be.”
A momentter, Alice and the other woman reached the intersection of West Crescent Avenue<i>, </i>turning left onto another street before vanishing from sight.
Isn’t <i>Alice </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>be </i>working <i>at the </i><i>Harmonfield </i><i>Hotel</i><i>? </i><i>Why is she </i><i>here </i>in <i>ria</i>?
<i>More </i><i>importantly</i><i>, </i>why <i>is </i><i>she </i><i>being </i><i>pursued </i><i>by </i><i>ria’s </i><i>pharmaceutical </i><i>regtory </i><i>enforcement </i><i>team</i><i>? </i>
<i>She </i><i>looked </i><ipletely </i><i>disheveled</i>.
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,ced 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<b>. </b>
Robin spoke with indifference. “How’s Alice doingtely?”
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 ria or why the enforcement team is after her.
“Mr. Ramsey, should we look into it?”

“Everyone has their own path to walk. She and I have nothing to do with each other anymore<i>. </i>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 Ss, followed by a short passage through an old street.
Five minutester, the car turned onto a narrow, old street.
Suddenly, Rita mmed on the brakes. A woman had crashed straight into their car.
The moment she lifted her head, Rita, Daphne, and Robin frozepletely.
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 ria pharmaceutical regtory enforcement officers seized Alice and another woman by the
arms<b>. </b>
“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!”
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 exin, “Miss, she vited ourws. We have to take her in. If you needpensation, you cane 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.”
<i>Smack</i>!
Rita pped the officer across the face. “I said, let them go!”
The officers immediately drew their stun batons<b>. </b>
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 eyesnded on Daphne and Rita, he stiffened.
Drakebane’s personal attendants<i>! </i>
His gaze instinctively darted toward the car.
Inside, Drakebane sat inposed 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 regtory enforcement team, it was natural for Martin O’Connell to recognize Thorne, the top martial artist of ria.
But more importantly, he knew who stood behind him–the major conglomerates of ria.
Even the director of the Pharmaceutical Regtory 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 <i>wrong </i>with <i>this </i><i>woman</i>?
