The once radiant afternoon sun disappeared behind the heavy rolling clouds, casting a shadow over thend.
The dazzling decorations and false grandeur seemed to fade as an ominous thunder rumbled in the distance.
The massive screen on the teaching building’s za flickered to life, exposing a harsh reality that struck everyone like a bolt of lightning.
During his tenure at the Inspection Bureau, Eugene had embezzled a staggering 10 billion in illicit funds, then transferring it to foreign bank ounts.
He had acquired 10 luxurious vis across Autreynia, Ugond, and Southeast Aurientia, along with a fleet of 30 high–end cars worth tens of millions.
Over a decade of climbing the ranks, he engaged in affairs with nearly 100 female subordinates to the one point that he juggled 30 rtionships with them simultaneously.
Zev, on the other hand, had secret dealings with the Rivers family from Sakurania, leaking ssified regional information. Arge portion of the Fields‘ wealth came from questionable securities, illegalnd transfers, and the misappropriation of public assets.
The audience stood frozen in shock as those explosive revtions unfolded on the screen.
Eugene had always been portrayed as a man of culture and integrity. As a high–ranking official in a specialized department, wasn’t he supposed to be a pir of morality? A symbol of excellence?
-Yet now, faced with undeniable proof, the Fields appeared no better than beasts–perhaps even worse.
After all, animals didn’t stand before the public, preaching about justice and righteousness while secretlymitting unspeakable crimes.
Countless students stared at the words on the screen, their eyes brimming with tears.
For over a decade, they had dedicated themselves to their studies, driven by a deep sense of duty and a desire to make the world a better ce.
Their books had taught them about resilience, kindness, and striving for noble ideals.
They had learned to pursue knowledge not just for personal gain but for the sake of a brighter future for all.
In ssrooms filled with passion, their teachers spoke fervently about love for thend, its people, and the inherent value of every life.
To chase those dreams, the students stayed upte and woke up early, fueled by ambition and hope.
During those moments, their hearts burned with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, influential figures like Eugene–who was frequently seen on TV or at major events and even delivered speeches at elite universities like Brighton–spoke eloquently about their grand visions.
Yet, as the truth came to light, the students realized their years of relentless effort had only served the interests of powerful families like the Fields.

The atmosphere inside the teaching building turned heavy. The students smiled bitterly before they muttered curses under their breath.
The blue d guards presented undeniable proof of the Fields‘ crimes to the Northville Anti–Terrorism Bureau and the Southville Anti–Corruption Bureau.
Jayden, overwhelmed with rage, jabbed a finger at Eugene. “The Fields havemitted enough crimes to be sentenced many times over!”
Without hesitation, he issued an order. “Arrest every member of the Fields! By the authority of the Northville and Southville bureaus, all their businesses must be seized immediately, and their illegal overseas funds must be retrieved!”
Eugene stood helpless, unable to refute the usations<b>. </b>Restrained by a soldier beside Yvonne, he awaited Robin’s decision–one that could mean life or death.
Just then, the sound of roaring engines filled the air.
Catherine, Elliott, and their group arrived, apanied by Zayn, Michelle, and Melissa.
Two soldiers dragged Melissa toward Eugene. She struggled in vain, only to realize that her uncle was also being held captive.
“Uncle Eugene, what’s happening? Why are they taking you?”
Eugene shook his head bitterly. “Melissa, you’ve ruined us! I warned youst night to leave Robin alone, but you refused to listen! Look what you’ve done!”
Melissa scoffed, her expression defiant. “So what? They don’t have solid proof! I won’t believe Robin dares to kill me in front of all these people!
“Besides<b>, </b>we have Mr. Zayn backing us! Robin is nothingpared to him!”
The soldier swiftly kicked her to the ground. “Shut your mouth! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll seal your mouth!”
Meanwhile, the giant screen in the teaching building yed a recording of Melissa and Michelle’s conversation.
Melissa finally sensed something was wrong.
The powerful figures present no longer seemed supportive of her family.
Even the students and professors of Brighton University looked on with indifference–or even contempt.
“You can’t do this! I’ll call my dad right now! He has connections with top‘ officials!” she shouted desperately.
Her outburst only earned scoffs and headshakes from the onlookers.
Her father, Zev, had already been exposed as a criminal who conspired with foreign forces, endangering national security. How could she still believe he had any influence left?
The true leaders of Draconia would never tolerate such corruption.
Suddenly, Yvonne let out a mockingugh. “Melissa, your dad is doomed as well! D*mn it! How dare you im Robin had no background and no power to bring us down!

“You convinced me that Joanna was just some poor nobody, and no one would care if she was bullied to death!
“Well, look around! Does this look like ‘no one cares‘ to you? The most powerful people in Draconia are standing here right now!”
She sneered and added, “Melissa, you fool! Joanna is the rightful heiress to the Dragon Pce! Compared to her, we’re nothing!”
Melissa was dumbfounded. How had Joanna, someone with such an elite status, managed to stay so inconspicuous?
With her wealth and power, she should have been unting expensive cars, carrying herself with arrogance and pride.
But why had she always been so humble, kind, and eager to learn?
Her gaze shifted to Robin, her mindpletely nk.
Catherine approached Robin with Zayn at her side. “Mr. Ramsey, I sincerely apologize on behalf of my brother to you and Renee.”
Ignoring her, Zayn shook off the soldier restraining him and rushed toward Nigel. “Grandpa, what’s happening? Catherine brought the royal guards to arrest me! That’s absurd!”
His voice faltered as he scanned the scene and noticed the Seven Kings and military generals standing in the za.
His confusion deepened. “Grandpa? Dad? What’s going on? Is this some kind of training exercise?”
Hannibal sighed. “Zayn, our family has always believed that a man must take responsibility for his actions. If you make a mistake, you must face the consequences with courage. That is our family’s principle.
“Even if the price is your life, you must stand tall and ept it.”
Zayn straightened his back, pride evident in his stance. “I’ve always followed that rule! That’s why I push myself harder than anyone else–to achieve greatness beyond even Grandpa’s generation!”
