The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

The Deadly Assassin Robin Chapter 834 Mistveil Manor Robin shook his head with a dry laugh .

The bigger picture ? Sure , Ill believe that .

Go on .

Benjamin nodded bitterly , pouring Robin a cup of tea .

** Finished The higher ups have their challenges .

There are countless domestic and international relationships to navigate far more complex than we could ever imagine .

With both the Dragon Lord and the Young Lord Dragon mysteriously missing , and the nations backbone , the Eight Great Royal Houses , in such turmoil , they were forced to tread carefully .

After thorough deliberation , the central leadership of the time decided to shelve the matter temporarily .

They wanted to avoid a potentially chaotic situation , so they classified the incident under the highest level of secrecy , locking it away in the national intelligence archives .

They also issued strict orders prohibiting anyone involved in the investigation from revealing anything about the Dragon Manor massacre .

If you hadnt asked about this , Master Ramsey , I wouldnt have said a word not even on my deathbed .

Revealing it could very well trigger an unpredictable disaster .

For the past twenty years , the Draconia leadership hasnt uttered a single word about Dragon Manor .

Their concern has always been that something might happen between the Seven Great Royal Houses and the Dragon Palace .

If that had occurred , wed have descended into chaos long ago .

But now , it seems their worries were misplaced .

From what I know , these years of silence have only bred suspicion and division among the Seven Great Royal Houses .

Each house believes that someone orchestrated this massacre from the shadows .

They suspect someone exploited the absence of the Dragon Lord , the Young Lord Dragon , and the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul , along with the gaps in communication between the Eight Great Royal Houses , to strike at Dragon Manor .

The goal ? To incite internal conflict and reap the rewards of the chaos .

But no one has come forward to voice these suspicions .

On the surface , each Royal House appears calm and unbothered .

In reality , theyve been secretly investigating the conspiracy behind the Dragon Manor incident .

Yet , after twenty years , theyve uncovered no definitive answers .

Master Ramsey , I know for a fact that neither the Dragon Palace nor the Seven Great Royal Houses have ever stopped investigating or tracking this case .

Afterward , I resigned from my position as Deputy Director of the Inspectorate .

This decision was both my own and in line with the wishes of the Draconia leadership .

1/3 16.19 Sun , Jan Chapter 834 Mistvell Manor Finished Im insignificant compared to the Eight Kings .

Someone like me low ranking and lacking status isnt suited to meddle in high level matters .

Still , Ive never been able to let go of the Dragon Manor massacre .

Thats why , for the past twenty years , Ive been secretly investigating it on my own .

This nationwide Go tournament ? Placing a qualifying round in Southmere wasnt a coincidence it was intentional .

Robin raised his eyebrows in surprise .

Southmere ? Did you find something there linked to the Dragon Manor massacre ? Benjamin gave a slight nod .

Not the full answer , but a clue .

Back then , the 100 elite members of the Golden Dragon Guard , led by the Young Lord Dragon , vanished mysteriously at Mistveil Manor on Southmeres western edge .

When I was investigating the case , there was a detail I noticed but didnt document .

Those 100 elite soldiers were accompanying the Young Lord Dragon on a mission to Southmeres borderlands .

Their objective was to eliminate foreign drug lords who had infiltrated and killed our border troops and civilians .

But as soon as they entered Mistveil Manor , the 100 elites simply vanished .

One of the Twelve Great Warriors of the Dragon Soul , Franco Whalen , received a summons from the Young Lord Dragon and immediately rushed to Southmere .

After meeting with the Young Lord Dragon , General Whalen returned swiftly to Brighton .

It was only after Francos return to Brighton that the Dragon Token was orally relayed to Levi under the Young Lord Dragons command .

After delivering the order , Franco disappeared from Brighton , Benjamin continued .

I searched for him for years , only to learn recently that hes been living in a village near Mistveil Manor this whole time .

From what Ive gathered , his life there hasnt been good .

Hes been bedridden for over a decade .

This time , I came specifically to meet him in person .

I believe that once we find General Whalen , we might finally make some breakthroughs on the unresolved questions from back then .

Robin glanced at Benjamin .

Mr.

Shorts , when do you plan to leave ? Benjamin checked the time .

Ive been conducting this investigation in secret .

I dont want anyone else to know about it .

I was planning to head out after the tournament concludes this afternoon .

Robin stood up decisively .

Hand the tournament duties over to the vice president .

Ill go with you to Mistveil Manor right now .

Lets meet this Franco , one of the Twelve Great Warriors of the Dragon Soul .

Ferell drove Robin and Benjamin to Mistveil Manor , arriving after an hour and a half .

The village lay on the outskirts of Southmere , nestled at the foot of the northern mountain range surrounding Mistveil Manor .

The area was picturesque , with clear streams , lush greenery , and a serene 9/3 16:19 Sun , Jan 5 BBB .

Chapter 834 Mistveil Manor atmosphere .

From a distance , it looked like an idyllic retreat untouched by the outside world .

Finished In earlier years , the region remained undeveloped , with the villagers living a lifestyle decades behind the more prosperous areas of Draconia .

However , in recent years , investors have taken an interest in the areas natural beauty and began developing tourism projects .

Most of these ventures didnt last , but eventually , the locals found success running their enterprises .

Rumors suggested that beyond the legitimate tourism offerings , the area secretly hosted gambling dens , underground fighting arenas , and nightclubs .

These activities brought in waves of visitors , transforming the once tranquil village into a bustling , chaotic hub .

When they reached the edge of the village , Ferell stopped the car and approached some villagers to ask for Francos location .

Strangely , the mere mention of Francos name made the villagers hurriedly walk away , unwilling to answer .

This peculiar reaction left the group puzzled .

Mr.

Shorts , how exactly did your sources confirm General Whalens residence here ? Robin asked .

Benjamin seemed equally perplexed .

Two years ago , someone I sent out reported that General Whalen was living here .

Unfortunately , I couldnt come to verify it at the time .

He hesitated before adding , To be honest , several factions have been monitoring me for years .

Ive had to maintain this appearance of inactivity just to evade their attention .

Among those watching me are likely members of the Seven Great Royal Houses and individuals involved in the Dragon Manor massacre .

Theyre following me to catch any sign of my investigation .

Ive had to tread carefully to avoid exposing myself or putting others in danger .

Benjamin then pulled out a folded map from his pocket .

My source marked this location on a map .

According to it , General Whalen resides at the northernmost edge of Mistveil Manor .

Master Ramsey , take a look .

Robin handed the map to Ferell .

Drive us there , following this address .

Fifteen minutes later , they arrived at the marked spot .

Before them stood a solitary , run down hut .

Robin frowned at the sight .

General Whalen , one of the Twelve Great Warriors of the Dragon Soul , is living here ? 296
