Chapter 998 The Oval Bronze Box +8 Pearls âMr. and Mrs. Clem, please, take a seat and relax,â Robin said kindly, helping Ambrose and Dahlia to their feet and guiding them to sit comfortably.
âMr. Ramsey, 20 years ago, a noble from Draconia entrusted us with something important,â Ambrose began, his voice filled with the weight of past memories âThis noble came to our house the night before he left Qacalisle Island. He asked us to hold on to an item of great importance for him.â
Ambrose and Dahlia both turned to Kelsey and Luella, bowing respectfully. âMs. Luella, Ms. Pierpoint, please excuse us for a moment, we need to speak with Mr. Ramsey in private.
âThe noble specifically instructed us that no one should know about thisânot even my daughter, Elodie.â
Robin nodded, signaling to Kelsey and Luella to leave and motioning for the guards to ensure no one approached during their conversation.
Once the room was clear, Ambrose carefully pulled out a small, oval bronze box from his coat pocket.
âMr. Ramsey,â Ambrose said, his hands shaking slightly as he held the box, âthe noble gave us this box the -night before his departure. He told us it contained the Emberleaf Fan.
âHe asked us to keep it safe and promised that, when the time was right, he would return for it.
âAnd if he couldnât come himself, someone else would come in his place.
âThis person would be wearing an emerald pendant engraved with the words âGolden Dragon. We were told to hand the box over to him.
âWeâve been waiting for 20 years...â
à¼à¼
Ambroseâs voice faltered as he continued, âAt that time, Sadie took the emerald pendant from Elodie, unaware that we had a second box with the Emberleaf Fan inside.
âThe noble had told me that this box was even more critical than the fan, so I kept it safe, waiting for the day when heâor the person meant to claim itâwould come for it.
âBut no one ever did.
âYears went by, and I thought Iâd never see the person who was supposed to take the box.
âWhenever someone from your country visited the island, I tried to approach them, hoping for a clue. I asked many times about the noble, but no one knew anything.
âThen, one day at Sadieâs house, I saw the emerald pendant you wear, Mr. Ramsey.
âIt had the same âGolden Dragonâ engraving.
âRight then, it all clicked. I remembered exactly what the noble had told me.
âI asked Kelsey to help me contact you.

+8 Pearls Robin took the pendant from around his neck and handed it to Ambrose. The elderly manâs hands trembled as he held it, his face overcome with emotion âMr. Ramsey, youâre the one Iâve been waiting for!
âFrom the moment you arrived on Qacalisle Island, helping us rid ourselves of the people who killed my daughter, and doing so much good for the island, I knew you were the one who was meant to come for this box.
âAnd thereâs something else, even more importantâyou look so much like that noble from Draconia.
âI donât ask too many questions, but I believe you must be connected to him in some way.â
âBy giving this box to you, Iâm finally fulfilling the promise I made 20 years ago.
âMr. Ramsey, both the Emberleaf Fan and this box belong to you. You know as well as I do that keeping the fan here would bring nothing but trouble.â
Robin took the box from Ambrose, contemplating for a moment. He had planned to return the fan to them, but they insisted he keep it.
âMr. Ramsey, now that Kelsey is in charge, the corrupt aristocrats who once oppressed us have been removed by Ms. Luella.
Our lives are improving, and we no longer need wealth the way we once did.
âPlease, take the Emberleaf Fan.â
After a brief pause, Robin accepted the fan. He knew Ambrose was rightâleaving these items in their possession could only lead to disaster.
Later that evening, after dinner with Ambrose, Dahlia, Luella, and Kelsey, Robin returned to Duskhaven Hotel.
As soon as he stepped into the lobby, a womanâs furious scream echoed through the space behind him.
âYouâve got some nerve, following me here!
âStop right there! What happened at the Island Restaurant isnât over. Apologize to me right now, or Iâll make sure you regret it!â
Robin stopped in his tracks.
Itâs Simone, that lunatic.
Robin glanced at Simone, who was standing in his way, fuming with fury, and smirked coldly. âStep aside.â
âStep aside?â Simone let out a sharp, mocking laugh. âThis isnât the Island Restaurant, where you have people backing you up.
âYou followed me here, and now youâre out of luck!â
Robinâs smile grew colder. âAre you sure about that?â
Simone looked at him with contemnt, her gaze sweeping over him as she scorned his annearance. âYou 11:08 Sun, Feb 9 B BB Chapter 998 The Oval Bronze Box 87%

âOh, wait. Maybe you canât read.
âThis is the international military skills competition hosted by the Thalrex Order right here on Qacalisle Island in Duskhaven. The most elite soldiers from all over the world are staying here.
âDo you even know who I am? My father is one of the most powerful people in the Dragon Soul Special Forces.
âIf you donât apologize for the way you acted at the Island Restaurant, just a word from me, and my father will have the Dragon Soul Special Forces wipe you out right here!â
Robinâs face turned icy. âDid that old fool Kennard put you up to this?â
Simone scoffed. âThey say ignorance is bliss. Today, I get to see the kind of trash who has no idea how the world works, acting like this toward my father. Do you have any clue about my fatherâs level, not just in Draconia, but globally?
âLet me tell you, you wouldnât even begin to understand. Enough talking. Apologize now!â
Robinâs voice grew even colder. âFine, let your father come and talk to me.â
The scene between Robin and Simone caught the attention of several military representatives staying at the Duskhaven Hotel.
Reynold from the Centraline Special Forces and Ced from the King Hawk Special Forces had just entered the hotel and were surprised to witness this confrontation.
They stopped in their tracks, shocked by the sight.
They hadnât expected someone like Robin to be confronted so aggressively by a woman.
Moments later, Mona from Scentialand, Alexander from the Tanqueria Special Forces, Nester from the Vailian Special Forces, and others entered the lobby.
Mona took one look at Simone blocking Robinâs way, listened for a while, and then understood what was going on.
She strutted over toward Simone, her hips swaying with confidence, and stopped in front of her. âHaha, so youâre Mr. Moralesâ
daughter? Whatâs going on here?â
Simone didnât recognize Mona, but seeing her expensive attire, she figured the woman must be someone important among the guests.
She smiled and said, âThis kid followed me outside! What do you all think? Should we teach him a lesson?â
Reynold from Centraline Special Forces shot Simone a disdainful look and whispered to Ced, âWho is this foolish woman claiming the Dragon Soul Special Forces are harrassing her?â
âHaha.â Mona couldnât help but laugh aloud at the ridiculousness of it all.
âGet out of the way!â Robin snapped, glaring at Mona.

With a swift push, Robin shoved Simone aside and headed toward the elevator.
