The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 1076 Juan Denver
It hadn't been long since Kurtis and his son were executed by Divine Drakebane when yet another shocking piece of news erupted across the internet by nightfall: the Clerys had been wiped out.

The revelation spread like wildfire, dominating trending topics on every major platform. Soon enough, the Dark Web confirmed it: the Clerys's annihilation was the handiwork of Divine Drakebane, the legendary assassin.

It was revenge. Retribution for the massacre of the Dragon Manor two decades ago.

However, that wasn't the end of it. The Dark Web went on to announce the next targets, the Rivers family and the Northern Star Sword School.

The moment the news dropped, the internet was ablaze with speculation. People dissected every possible outcome, theories ran wild, and even underground gambling companies saw an opportunity. Wagers were placed on how this revenge saga would unfold, turning the entire event into a spectacle as hyped as the most explosive World Cup in history.

The sheer scale of the uproar finally forced the upper echelons of Sakurania to take the matter seriously. Initially content to observe from the sidelines, the authorities now found themselves divided over how to respond.

One faction believed Divine Drakebane's vendetta was nothing more than an underworld feud—an affair of personal grievances best left to resolve itself. As long as civilians and national security remained unaffected, there was no need for interference. This was a common practice in martial society matters.

Meanwhile, the opposing faction saw it differently. They argued that allowing Divine Drakebane to freely execute revenge on their land was unacceptable. The Rivers family and the Northern Star Sword School were powerful forces with deep-rooted influence. If the government stood idly by, they would be dissatisfied.

Yet, those in favor of non-interference issued a grave warning. If Sakurania used force against Divine Drakebane, the assassin might reveal a buried truth from 20 years ago. The massacre at the Dragon Manor hadn't been the work of one or two factions alone. The Rivers family, the Clerys, the Northern Star Sword School, and even certain dark world sects had all played a role, infiltrating Draconia to carry out their brutal slaughter.

If that truth came to light, the consequences for Sakurania would be dire.

Then, there was another chilling rumor. It was said that Divine Drakebane possessed an ancient artifact of unimaginable power, one long sought after by the top sects of the dark world. Its full destructive capability remained unknown, but whispers claimed its might was beyond anything the world had seen. Yet, no one knew exactly how destructive this ancient relic was.

Not everyone was convinced. Skeptics dismissed the so-called ancient artifact as nothing more than a relic—a cold weapon from a bygone era. No matter how powerful it was, it couldn't possibly rival modern aircraft, artillery, and heavy weaponry.

However, came an argument that sent chills down the spines of those in the room. What if he possessed something far worse? A weapon capable of wiping out the entire planet in an instant. If such a weapon truly existed, then a mere island nation like Sakurania was nothing more than a speck of dust.

If they provoked a man whose soul had long been consumed by vengeance, what was stopping him from unleashing destruction?

Sure, there was a possibility that he didn't have direct control over the device. But what if he did? What if he could erase Sakurania from existence with just a press of a button?

With the weight of this terrifying possibility looming over them, the nation's high-ranking officials debated fiercely, locked in discussion for an entire afternoon.

By the end of it, they reached a unanimous decision: stay out of Divine Drakebane's way. Observe from the shadows, and act only when necessary.

...

Archona District, Nueno. Rivers Manor.

In the grand hall of Rivers Manor sat Sheldon Rivers at the front of the room, his expression cold and unreadable. To his right sat his eldest son, Cooper Rivers.

On his left sat an elderly man, his white hair flowing like an ancient river of wisdom. He was Juan Denver, the Northern Star Sword School's master and Cynthia's mentor.

Sheldon furrowed his brows. "Master Denver,

"The Clerys had Master Lysaght, along with over a hundred elite warriors defending their estate. And yet, they still couldn't stop Divine Drakebane. Kurtis and his son were also slaughtered just as easily. To put it bluntly, even the most skilled Sword Master in our country wouldn't be able to eliminate the entire Clerys, Master Lysaght, and the Folkers' father and son in such a short time. The reputation of Divine Drakebane is no exaggeration."
