+5 Free Coins The young mans silhouette reminded him so much of someone from over 20 years ago the legendary warrior from Draconias military ! That figure had been his idol , the one he looked up to more than anyone else .

He had been the Dragon Lord someone Steven had always admired .

At that moment , Steven found himself truly seeing Robin for the first time .

His face , his gestures , his way of speaking and acting ll of it mirrored the God of War of Draconias military forces , For a long time , Steven stood there , rooted to the spot , trying to shake the odd sense of recognition .

He turned to look back at Robin , who was walking toward the pavilion , and wondered to himself why he felt this connection .

Could it be that after all these years of being bedridden , my mind is stuck in a loop , haunted by memories I cant escape ? The tragedy of Dragon Manor from that fateful night still haunted him , its shock and sorrow never fully fading .

Could it be that his grief from that catastrophic event two decades ago was making him project his memories onto this young man ? But Robin was just a young , skilled officer in his twenties .

Sure , Robin had saved his life , but it shouldnt make him see this man as the legendary Lord Dragon , right ? Robin turned to glance back at Steven , who was still lost in thought under the sun .

Mr.

Steven , whats on your mind ? Come inside , and Ill give you treatment , Robin called out , his voice calm .

Youve been bedridden for over a decade .

Your health is in serious decline .

If we dont clear your blocked meridians soon , you might not make it much longer .

Steven froze , realizing that his deep thoughts had wasted Robins precious time ! He was the one who had saved him , after all ! Snapping out of his thoughts , Steven quickly nodded .

Oh , yes … These past years , Ive been lying in bed , unconscious .

Its made me a little sluggish .

Mr.

Ramsey , luckily , you managed to help me with some needle therapy before , and I did feel some improvement , But Im worried that ….

Robin gave a nod of understanding .

Lets talk later .

Ill give you a quick treatment Steven walked into the pavilion and sat down Take your shirt off and sit still , Robin instructed .

After a brief hesitation , Steven removed his shirt .

As soon as Robin saw the countless scars on Stevens body , he paused , His body was covered in wounds bullet and knife marks that told of the battles he had fought in as Draconias hero .

Each scar was a testament to the sacrifices made on the front lines , a badge of honor .

Sit tight , Mr.

Steven , Ill help restore some vitality to your body .

These scars of yours deserve another 20 years of life .

Steven shuddered .

Another 20 years ! The confidence in Robins words reminded him of someone from two decades ago .

Before he could fully absorb the meaning of Robins words , he felt 18 needles piercing his skin .

Eighteen Spirit Needles ! The thought flashed through Stevens mind .

He remembered hearing stories about a mysterious figure known as Shadow someone who served a great man and was skilled in martial arts and a miraculous form of needle therapy called the Eighteen Spirit Needles .

It was said that anyone treated by them could avoid death itself .

How could this young man possess such remarkable skill ? Mr.

Ramsey Steven started to speak .

Robin immediately cut him off .

Dont speak , Mr.

Steven .

You need to focus .

Your meridians have been blocked for so long that they could rupture if Im not careful .

Ill make sure youre okay .

With that , Robin inserted the silver needles , placing them with precision in the 18 acupoints .

Instantly , Steven felt his energy begin to flow freely .

His pale , sickly complexion began to gain a touch of color .

Even the white hairs on his head seemed to warm up .

His body trembled as he fought through the intense pain , feeling like he was being torn apart by countless sharp needle After 18 minutes , Robin gently removed the needles .

Robin turned to him .

Mr.

Steven , stand up and test your strength .

Steven put his shirt back on , stretched his arms , and slammed his palm onto the wooden table in front of him .

The thick rosewood top cracked apart with ease .

Stevens eyes widened in surprise and excitement .

Mr.

Ramsey He bowed deeply .

Not only did you save my life , but youve given me 20 more years to live ! I feel like Im in my prime again .

Mr.

Ramsey , I owe you these 20 years .

Whatever time I have left is yours to command .

Tell me , Mr.

Ramsey , what can the Lynches do for you ? Robin shook his head .

I dont need anything from you .

I only need one thing- Ive heard that on the night of the Dragon Manor fire , you entered the grounds .

Mr.

Steven , do you remember ? The Inspectorate has no records of this because you chose to hide the truth .

Steven froze , his face draining of color .

His eyes widened with panic as he looked at Robin .

Mr.

Ramsey , why would you ask me about that ? That was so long ago , and I Robins face grew serious .

Theres no need to hide the truth from me .

Some things are too important to be kept secret .

You can choose to speak , or you can stay silent , and Ill pretend I never asked .

For a long time , Steven stared at Robin , his expression conflicted .

Then , with a sigh , he spoke .

Alright , Mr.

Ramsey .

Since you saved my life and gave me 20 more years to live , Ill tell you exactly what happened that night .

On that evening , as the head of the Brighton Inspectorate .

I was leaving a meeting is the South Garden .

As I drove home , I passed Dragon Manor .

I saw flames rising into the sky , so I stopped and ran inside .

By the time I entered , the manor was already consumed by fire .

Inside , I found the body belonging to the lady of the house .

She had been stabbed multiple times but was still intact .

She was already dead .

I searched the place , but there was no one else alive .
