Everything remained <b>as </b>calm andposed as it had always been in Draconia. Life was still busy and running smoothly. Everything remained as usual–living and dreaming.
Sensitive folks would realize that Draconia’s higher–ups were secretly making a significant move. No one felt the ripples more than the people of Harmonfield, especially the Dunns and the Wrights.
Since Robin’s incident, Shirley had been wandering on Harmonfield’s Central Avenue in a daze. Passersby spat and cursed at her. Her peers ndered her name. Some rascals longed to take advantage of the once- revered “goddess of Harmonfield“.
Fortunately, Amber, Daphne, Rita, Vera, Raymond, and Jonah stood by her side, shielding her. Shirley, who was in excruciating pain, was saved from being abused by persons with malicious intentions.
Even so, it was impossible to guard against everything. There were moments when furious middle–aged women would break through and beat her.
The Dunns Group had be the symbol of evil capitalists in the eyes of the Harmonfield people.
Tears streamed down as countless voices screamed in protest. If it weren’t for the ruthless exploitation of capitalist scum like the Dunns, they wouldn’t be battling at the bottom of society.
Immediately afterward, Martin and Freya were reassigned in secret. At the same time, Brookhaven’s wealthy tycoon, Carson, quietly vanished from public view.
Then came the eleventh day after the Snow Valley incident. Henry was officially relieved of his position as the mayor of Harmonfield and ordered to report to the capital promptly.
This series of subtle changes quickly caused widespread spection among those who tend to analyze the situation. Among them, one theory spread faster than the rest. The downfall of the Wrights and the Dunns was all because they were too close to Robin.
In Brookhaven and Harmonfield, anyone affiliated with the Wrights or Dunns was considered an outcast. It didn’t take long for the so–called righteous faction in Harmonfield to cut all ties, establishing distinct borders.
Now, all they needed was for someone to step forward and give the rallying cry to kill them, and the crowd would swarm.
Beyond the so–called righteous crowd of elderly men and women raising their fists for justice, some scoundrels who lingered on Central Avenue every day to insult Shirley, hurling eggs or whatever trash they could get their hands on. Their faces lit up with twisted satisfaction as if bullying her filled some void in their lives.
The upper circles of Harmonfield were eerily silent. The peaceful on sensed that this was the calm
before the storm. Meanwhile, those who observed had already noticed that anyone within Draconia who had once been closely associated with Robin was being swiftly removed from their original positions. This was a clear signal.
The statement that Robin was a harbinger of disaster was now being gradually confirmed by some people within Harmonfield’s elite. As a result, more people stepped forward, eager to list his so–called crimes.

The <b>ones </b>who <b>had </b><b>always </b>preached fairness and justice once again stood up in anger<b>. </b>They dered <b>that </b><b>Robin </b>and his <b>ilk </b><b>must </b><b>be </b>eradicated for the sake <b>of </b>true justice in this world.
<b>Even </b><b>those </b>who had spent their lives cowering from street fights, the usual gangsters and thugs who thrived on bullying the weak, found themselves suddenly terrified and joined the ranks of the justice-
seekers.
Emboldened, the righteous masses grew bolder, their derations escting as they imed that even if the Divine Drakebane himself were to return, they would still take him down!
Some became so consumed with rage while condemning Robin copsed on the spot, while others choked, coughed up blood, and died in sheer fury. Those being transported to the hospital could still be heard shouting through the ambnce doors before, entering the intensive care unit. They wanted to fight a tyrant like Robin..
Harmonfield had be a stage, and each new deration was another act in an ever–escting drama.
Fourteen days after news of Robin’s demise spread, the city was still nketed in a mournful, endless snowfall.
At 7 in the morning, Central Avenue remained buried under thickyers of snow, untouched by sanitation workers.
Shirley stepped out of her home and walked the familiar path, crossing from the east side of the street to the west side again and again. Through the flurries of snow, her gaze searched desperately for Robin’s figure.
“Robin, where are you? I miss you! A year ago, four ruthless criminals kidnapped me. I thought that time was my end. At that time, you appeared like a miracle and saved me from those bad guys. Do you know how happy I was then?
“Robin, I know you are the invincible hero sent by God to protect me! The whole world may believe you’re gone, but I refuse to ept it. You once told me no one in this world can kill you. They said I had lost my mind, but I’m not! I believe you’lle back. New Year <b>is </b>still 15 days away. Robin, I’ll wait for you here, every single day. If what they’re saying is true, then I’ll end it all right here. I’ll follow you to the next world.”
Her voice trembled, eyes glistening with unshed tears as she continued, “Don’tugh at me for being weak, Robin. I miss you so much. I don’t care about anything else anymore. I just want to marry you right now and never be apart again … not in this life, not in the next three lifetimes either.”
“Ms. Dunn, don’t do this! Please don’t!” Amber sobbed, watching Shirley’s lost, broken figure drifting through the snow–covered street.
Amber, Vera, Daphne, and Rita had taken turns apanying Shirley for days. They wandered up and down Central Avenue with her hopelessly.
They wept and reminisced with her, sharing every warm moment of Robin. They also persuaded her not to keep punishing herself like this.
However, she wouldn’t listen. She kept walking, kept searching, refusing to leave Central Avenue where her memories of Robin had been carved so deeply into her soul.
Vera arrivedter with a carefully packed breakfast in her hands. She stepped in front of Shirley and said, “Shirley, let’s eat some breakfast.”

Shirley shook her head, her expression detached. “I’m not hungry. When Robin returns, I’ll prepare a generous breakfast for him.”
Vera clutched her arm, eyes brimming with tears. “Shirley, please stop this. Robin … Robin is gone. You can’t keep torturing yourself like this anymore.”
Shirley yanked Vera’s hand away. “Don’t you dare say that! Robin is not dead! Now move!”

Jonah Ferguson rushed out of the car and sprinted to Shirley Dunn. “Ms. Dunn! Ms. Jenning! We have a problem! Half of the Dunn Group’s employees are outside withpensation contracts. They want Ms. Dunn to sign andpensate them for their losses.”
Amber was taken aback. “Mr. Ferguson, the Dunn Group is still paying their sries on time! Even this month, Mr. Dunn Sr. personally added an extra 1,000 dors to each paycheck to support them. What else are they asking forpensation for?”
Jonah let out a heavy sigh. “Some of them im that Dunn Group’s current situation and Ms. Dunn’s personal matters have implicated them. They say that because of Robin, they feel ashamed to even walk outside. Their families are being mocked. Their friends and rtives look down on them.
“These employees who came to impensation were all preparing to resign and change jobs. They say nopany is willing to hire former Dunn Group staff anymore.”
Amber said furiously, “The Dunn Group has been doing everything to protect them! They have already begun to sell assets and distribute benefits to them, worried that they will be affected!
The Dunn Group owes them nothing! Where’s their legal basis for demandingpensation?! This is absurd! It’s as if the walls are copsing, and everyone is shifting the me to others. Do they intend to take advantage of someone in a weak position?”
