Down!
It was 4:30 in the afternoon.
The setting sun cast a warm, golden light across the city,
At the Wright Mansion within the governmentpound, a team of armed guards stood solemnly at the entrance, their presencemanding respect.
Today, the Wright Mansion was hosting some very important guests.
In the second-floor reception room, the evening light streamed through, illuminating a gathering of decorated officers.
Martin had donned his two-star general''s uniform, which had been stored away for years, and now sat in
the center of the room.
To his left was Jack, dressed in his own lieutenant general''s uniform.
Across from Jack sat Simon, the director of Draconia''s Central Investigation Division 7, also a lieutenant general.
Therge reception room was bathed in sunset hues, the stars on the three generals'' shoulders catching the light, gleaming brightly.
Simon studied the ssified letter Jack had handed him, his brow furrowed in deep concentration.
After a moment, he looked up, his weary eyes filled with decades of experience. "Jack, are you saying these recent disturbances are somehow linked to the massacre at Dragon Ridge Valley 20 years ago?" Jack nodded. "You were there for the entire Dragon Ridge Valley incident-you know it better than
anyone.
Simon shook his head in resignation, I''ve been investigating in secret for 20 years, but I''ve found nothing.
That year, the young lord of Dragon Pce retreated to Harmonfield after his forces were defeated in Southmere. And then, Dragon Ridge Valley turned into a river of blood overnight.
"Back then, the young lord was a legendary figure, feared and respected across thend. Even if he intended to disappear from Draconia, he would have left some trace.
"When we arrived at the site, it was littered with corpses, not a single patch of greenery left.
Investigation Division 7 had locked down all possible exits before we arrived.
"Every route from Dragon Ridge Valley to the border was blocked with over a dozen checkpoints, yet there was no sign of the young lord.
"After that, I led a team from the Security Bureau''s Division Seven, searching for seven days and nights, but the young lord had vanished without a trace,
"At the time, Investigation Division 7 set up an imprable, extending out 300 miles from Dragon

Ridge Valley, but we couldn''t find a single clue.
"We searched every cave in Dragon Ridge Valley but came up empty.

"All these years, I''ve wondered if there might be some kind of hidden passage in Dragon Ridge Valley, leading to a world beyond our knowledge.
Jack''s eyes lit up. "That''s possible! If that''s the case, then the so-called ''ancient relic'' must also be connected to this mysterious passage!
The ck-d guard reported that recently, top-tier experts have been slipping into Draconia, heading straight for Dragon Ridge Valley, all in search of this ancient relic. "What exactly this ancient relic is, we still don''t know.
"For decades, rumors about it have circted through the underworld, yet no one can clearly say what it actually is. The mostmon theory is that the ancient relic is a type of short dagger. Another theory ims it''s an ancient jade medallion. "As for what this ancient relic actually does, no one has a clue.
"Furthermore, there''s still uncertainty about whether the ancient relic even exists,
"Whether it has any connection to the young lord is alsopletely unknown.
"This recent disturbance in Dragon Ridge Valley should be investigated in connection with the massacre 20 years ago. We might uncover something useful."
Martin nodded. "Let''s hope this investigation finally unravels the mystery that''s hung over us for the past
20 years.
"If we can''t uncover the truth before the Eight Kings'' selection next August, it''ll be difficult to clear Dragon Manor of the charges of treason."
Simon nodded. "The key to this case is finding out what really happened when those hundred elite Dragon Manor warriors died on the border near Southmere. Only then will the whole storye to light."
Just as he finished speaking, an urgent knock sounded at the door.
Martin exchanged nces with Jack and Simon, and the three of them stopped discussing the Dragon Ridge Valley incident.
Jack quickly tucked away the ssified report.
""Come in. Martin called out.
"Generals, sorry to interrupt!" Henry said as he walked quickly up to Martin, holding his phone.
"Dad, there''s something urgent I need to tell you.
"What is it?" Martin asked, noticing the serious look on Henry''s face and frowning slightly.
"Dad, Freya is in Harmonfield"

Martin looked a bit surprised. "She''s home-what''s unusual about that? It''s normal for her to visit."
"That''s not what I mean, Freya''s at Harmonfield Lake Bementary School right now... with Mr. Ramsey." Henry rified.
A slight smile appeared on Martin''s face. "She''s with Robin? Isn''t that a good thing
"But what are she and Robin doing at Harmonfield Lake Elementary School?"
Henry hesitated. There was a bullying incident at the school. Jonah''s daughter, I, from Southvale Development Group, was involved... shemitted suicide because of it. "She jumped from the school building earlier today, around noon."
Martin''s eyes widened with shock. What?! Jonah... if remember correctly, he''s one of Robin''s people. Henry nodded.
Martin seemed to realize something. "So Robin and Freya went to stand up for Jonah?"
Henry nodded shakily. "Dad, do you think it''s inappropriate for them to get involved in something like. this, given their positions? Should I go and call them back?"
Martin frowned deeply. Jack was just telling me about that school bullying incident going viral online. These kids are out of control!
Thews these days are still too weak!"
He paused, thinking it over for a moment. "What''s wrong with them getting involved?
"Upholding justice is everyone''s responsibility-especially a soldier''s!
"Is that a live video from the scene on your phone?"
Henry nodded. "Yes, it is,"
"Show me. I want to see how things are unfolding
Henry ced his phone on the table, where a live stream from Harmonfield Lake Elementary School was ying.

The screen showed Tyson entering the campus, apparently ready to confront Robin and the others.
Martin watched for a moment, then mmed his hand on the table. "D"mn it, these, animals!
Henry, alert the driver to prepare the car and tell the guards to mobilize the general''s security team from the Wright Mansion. Today, I''m going down there myself to support my granddaughter! These bullies throwing their weight around... they''repletely out of control!"
"Hey!" Jack pointed at the screen, where Talia was visible. "Sumon, isn''t that your daughter!
"What?" Simon''s eyes widened.

"She is! Wasn''t she supposed to be at the training center? What''s she doing there?"
Jack smirked. "She''s under Freya''smand now. Of course she''d follow her there."
"Alright, General Wright, I''ming with you!" Simo stood up immediately, looking anxious to leave. Jack pulled him back for a moment. "Mr. Cross, what about the Dragon Ridge Valley investigation...?"
"That hasn''t even begun yet, and I''ve already sent my team out to handle it. My daughter''s situation is more urgent!" Simon replied, already hurrying toward the door.
Jack watched Simon''s worried expression and chuckled "I think I''ll go with you, too."
Talia was a daughter Simon had only had in his forties and he treasured her more than his own life. Anything involving Talia could make Simon drop everything without a second thought Outside. Simon pointed to his chief guard.
"Bring all the security team guards with me to Harmonfield Lake Elementary School. We have an emergency! If anyone dares to mess with my daughter I''ll make them regret it! 16:40 Mon, Dec 2 B B
