The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 1266 Decision Bureau Meeting The sky grew dim as random snowflakes drifted down.

47% Finished Rita's modest grave, nestled in the ground, was slowly being covered by a blanket of snow, transforming the scene into one that echoed years of quiet, peaceful living and harmonious human connection.

Centuries of civilization had led to an era filled with confusion and uncertainty.

Yet, the winds of Dragon Ridge Valley, howling through the mountains for millions of years, continued their mindless path, utterly unaware of the direction they should follow in this life.

They roamed aimlessly, foolishly, through the cold and barren valley, blocked by towering cliffs.

Day after day, year after year, they remained oblivious to the sorrow within them.

Unknowingly, the deceptive cliffs had tirelessly worked to trap them in this shadowy gorge, keeping the winds from experiencing the freedom that lay beyond the mountaintop.

A sharp gust of wind swept through the valley.

It shook the ice hanging from the bare branches of a peach tree.

The frozen shards fell and struck Robin's shoulder.

He looked up, seeing the familiar landscape.

The Dragon Ridge Valley, shrouded in darkness, had remained unchanged through countless millennia, unaffected by the supposed progress of civilization.

Behind it all, the hidden hands manipulating events continued to deceive the masses, generation after generation, ensuring they remained in ignorance.

"Mr. Ramsey!" Maverick, Elliott, and Brendon appeared behind Robin. "The Foreign Affairs Bureau has called. Please return to the capital with General Quintana. The higher-ups urgently need your presence.

"The Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance has invited representatives from Autreynia, Tanqueria, Mecria, and Centraline to discuss your past conflict with Shepherd on a private island in the South Panacea Ocean." Robin glanced at Rita's grave, then turned to Daphne and Rowan. "Take care of things in Harmonfield and head to Qacalisle Island. This place is no longer safe for you." Daphne and Rowan bowed deeply. "Got it, Mr. Ramsey!" Before leaving, Robin handed Shirley the water from the Snow Dragon Pool. Once her grandfather's funeral had concluded, he would take her to Qacalisle Island, far from this turmoil.

Their wedding would be postponed for a time.

Robin promised Shirley that once everything was resolved, he would give her the most romantic wedding on Qacalisle Island.

Finished On the left side of the 30-feet-long conference table sat Declan, the newly appointed director of Draconia's National Security Bureau and the son of Lord Northville, along with his accompanying officials.

On the right side were Robin, Jethro, Hannibal, Franco, Jack, Hunter, and others.

Declan made an announcement.

The former head of the Decision Bureau, Hadley, had been taking bribes from Dark Syndicate agent, Snivy, for an extended period, engaging in illegal and treasonous activities.

When agents from the Security Bureau arrived to arrest him, they found that Hadley had taken his own life. rather than face justice.

The higher-ups decided that Ryder, the son of Lord Southmere, would immediately take over as head of the Decision Bureau.

The mistakes of the previous Bureau would be swiftly corrected.

Lord Southmere, Rhett, was appointed as Deputy Director of the SuprStrategic Advisory Center.

Steven, Martin, and Hannibal were cleared of any wrongdoing involving foreign agents and were immediately released from investigation.

Due to health reasons, Steven and Martin returned hto recover and would no longer hold office.

Hannibal resumed his position as the head of the Westeria Intelligence Agency.

Due to health concerns, he resigned as director, opting to retire and recover.

The Westeria Intelligence Agency would be temporarily managed by the deputy director.

The Westeria Token was returned to Zayn.

As per Lord Westeria's will, the token was passed on to Catherine.

Hunter and Jack were reassigned to the command center as Deputy Commanders.

Franco, Flint, and Spike, the Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, were named eastern water military zones, respectively.

Ommanders of the southern and After Declan finished outlining the consequences for Hadley and the high-level appointments, the meeting room was left with just Robin, Franco, Jack, Hunter, Flint, and Jethro.

They began discussing the South Panacea Ocean island talks, where Shepherd had invited representatives from countries like Autreynia, Tanqueria, and Mecria to attend, hoping to resolve their conflict with Robin.

Declan turned to Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, our higher-ups have received letters from several countries requesting reconciliation.

"Shepherd is offering a huge investment in Draconia in exchange for a truce with you.

"Shepherd claims that if you have any additional demands, they will fulfill them.

"Provided the grievances from 20 years ago at Dragon Manor are forgotten, and peace is restored, the Flint slammed his fist down on the table. “That's ridiculous! Everything Master Ramsey did in the eastern waters stands for itself! There's nothing to discuss! "And Shepherd's a bastard! If he hadn't been beaten so badly, would he ever agree to this? "What were they doing when Master Ramsey was trapped in Snow Valley? "Back then, they were threatening and provoking us. Because of sindividuals' incompetence, we lost international face.

"If Master Ramsey hadn't stirred up things in Panacea's international waters, how could we stand tall in front of world powers now? "Now, after they've been hurt, these bastards suddenly want peace? What's there to discuss? "They're bringing all this trash into negotiations to look like they're seeking reconciliation, but in reality, they're just pressuring us! "I say we refuse outright! Or we wipe them all out in the eastern waters!

"Those innocent victims from Dragon Manor cannot be traded for sso-called massive capital. I won't agree to it! And I'm sure Master Ramsey won't either." Declan turned to Robin, who was still engrossed in reading messages on his phone, waiting to hear his opinion.

Robin's phone had just received an alert from the Dark Web.

"The Dark Syndicate, Mecria, Tanqueria's Secret Division, and Hawtelligence m Tower are all and HexaPoint Tower starting to stir around Joanna's Mecria University." They had just discovered that the super weapon's control system was in Joanna's hands.

If they could seize that system, Divine Drakebane would no longer be able to threaten the world.

After reading the update, Robin asked, “Mr. Pittman, take on this?" s your

Declan paused, then responded, "Mr. Ramsey, what I'm trying to say is that Shepherd, by gathering so many diplomatic attaches from different countries, is staging a big show of negotiations. They must have another agenda. "The battle in the eastern waters exposed that your sister, Joanna, holds the superweapon system, which has put her in great danger.

"I'm waiting for more intelligence to figure out what actions they're planning around Mecria University.

"From what I've gathered, they've pinned all their hopes on the Rosewood Apartments near the university. "They're definitely going to try and take control of the superweapon system." Robin nodded. "It's been confirmed." "So, for now, agree to their negotiations in the South Panacea Ocean.

"After that, I'll go to the South Panacea Ocean and take down Shepherd at the negotiation site!"
