The chief instructor of Dragon Soul Special Forces , Gavin Brooks , was recalled to Westeria Residence last night , said the bodyguard .

Gavin ? Elliotts brow furrowed .

Whats he doing there ? Is Zayn trying to rig the tournament ? He paused , thoughts shifting .

Has there been any word from the Fioris ? The bodyguard replied .

Theyve brought Drogos body back to their home .

Theyve hired forensic experts from Brighton , but theres been no update .

The Shaws paid no visit to the Fioris .

No news from Southmere Residence either .

Its like theyre pretending nothings happened .

Across from him , a man in his forties , dressed in military attire , sat rigidly , waiting .

Mr.

Zayn , were ready for the military martial tournament .

With our current strength , Dragon Soul is secure .

But you called me here in haste .

Is there something urgent ? Zayn kept his eyes closed , the chair rocking beneath him .

His voice , when it came , was calm .

Mr.

Brooks , Zayn said slowly , youve been stuck in that position for a long time , havent you ? Zayn continued , At your age , do you really think moving up is still possible ? Youve spent years hiding away , resting .

Do you think that will get you anywhere ? Mr.

Zayn , Gavin said , voice full of humility , Ive always been the one left behind .

If not for you and the master , I wouldnt be here today .

I never expected to rise higher .

Zayn let out a small , mocking laugh .

You were once a warrior , Gavin .

A true force in the military hat happened to that fire ! My grandfather put a lot of faith in you .

He wanted you to rise , to be a bigger man .

Are you really satisfied with just your current position ? You wont get anywhere like that .

Gavin stood , bowing slightly , his hands clasped before him .

Mr.

Zayn , please , just tell me what you need me to do .

Zayn studied him for a moment , then spoke plainly .

Dragon Souls place in the tournament is safe .

No need to worry about that .

But theres something else .

Youve heard about the new chief instructor of the War Wolf Special Forces , havent you ? Younger than you by nearly 20 years , yet he has the same position as you .

Zayns lips curved into a thin smile .

What do you think of that ? Gavin scoffed .

Mr.

Zayn , what can I do ? Hes been hand picked by Commander Hunter himself to lead the War Wolf Special Forces .

How could I compare to him ? Zayn leaned forward , his tone sharp .

Youre missing the bigger picture .

The War Wolf Special Forces are in a tight spot .

Do you understand what it means to have Robin join them ? Gavin thought for a moment , then answered , If they lose to Dragon Soul or Dark Panther , theyll be disbanded .

Zayn nodded .

Exactly .

And if that happens , whats Robins worth as chief instructor then ? Gavins expression shifted .

You mean … Zayns gaze grew cold .

Its all a show .

Do you really think its more than that ? Zayns confusion was clear , What do you mean , Mr.

Zayn ? Zayns voice was calm , but his words cut deep .

Hes challenged me too many times .

Maybe even disappear completely .
