Chapter 252 Dealing With Phoenix Vanguard
Two helicopters thundered toward Hydra Island, their engines roaring like ferocious beasts ready to unleash chaos.
Stephanie smiled warmly. "Lord Drakebane, your efforts regarding the Phoenix Vanguard situation have been invaluable.
"Drogo and the Dark Night Alliance have placed Mr. Chapman and Mavis under house arrest.
"And now, they've even issued a death order against you in the World of Darkness. That fool has truly lost his senses!"
Robin chuckled coldly. "For those eager to meet their end, no one can intervene!"
Stephanie nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely correct, my lord.
"You've dealt with Darkwolf, Viper, and 13 other assassins, and the Phoenix Vanguard and World of Darkness remain blissfully unaware.
"When this information breaks, it will send shockwaves throughout the entire World of Darkness.
"Even if you choose not to pursue Drogo yourself, those international assassin organizations will swarm Phoenix Vanguard and rip him apart."
This time, several elite international assassin groups, stirred into action by Phoenix Vanguard and the Dark Night Alliance, had tried and failed to take down Drakebane within Draconia, leaving them severely weakened.
Their anger would inevitably be directed at Phoenix Vanguard.
The cost of nurturing each top-tier assassin ran into the millions.
Furthermore, training super assassins like Darkwolf, Viper, and the Surgeon required ten to twenty years of relentless investment.
With their deaths, it would take a staggering thirty years for them to recover.
Robin nodded in understanding. "This is all their own fault!
"Feel free to share the news: I will personally visit every assassin organization involved in this failed attempt on my life!"
"Understood, Lord Drakebane!" Stephanie replied respectfully. "I'll ensure that word spreads throughout the World of Darkness by tomorrow morning."
...
Two hours later, the helicopter touched down on the shores of Hydra Island.
Tristan, Anthony, along with Jason and Jane, had already secured the area and were waiting on this secret beach.
Tristan hurried over to Robin with the Nevilles in tow.
"Lord Drakebane, thank you for your efforts. Please, take a moment to rest ... "
"No need for that," Robin waved dismissively, pointing toward Dragon Hall.
"I need to deal with Phoenix Vanguard and then head back to attend the Wrights' celebration the day after tomorrow."
Tristan lowered his gaze, a muscle twitching in his jaw.
Phoenix Vanguard was one of the most powerful sects globally!
If they coordinated their actions, their financial and military might could easily shake the foundations of a medium-sized nation.
But to Lord Drakebane, dealing with an entire organization like Phoenix Vanguard seemed effortless.
Jane couldn't suppress a giggle. "Hahaha ... "
This startled Tristan and Stephanie. "Jane, we have a guest! Show some respect!"
Stepping forward, Jane exclaimed, "Mr. Ramsey, I want to go with you!"
Robin had initially intended to dismiss the young girl.
But Jane suddenly bowed deeply before him.
"Lord Drakebane, you are my mentor. If you're going to eliminate Drogo from Phoenix Vanguard, then I must join you."
Tristan shot a worried glance at Robin and quickly chastised her. "Jane, don't be absurd."
"No!" Jane insisted. "Mr. Ramsey, I must accompany you.
"Drogo instigated assassins to kill you. He can't be allowed to live! I must end him myself!"
Seeing Jane's fierce determination, Robin frowned.
Once this girl made up her mind, nothing could deter her.
On that day at Spiral Heights, she had risked her own safety to protect her grandfather.
That alone was praiseworthy.
Looking into Jane's resolute eyes, he relented. "Alright, but don't stray too far. Stay close to me. Got it?"
"Alright, Mr. Ramsey!" Jane exclaimed, her excitement palpable as she bounced alongside him.
Robin turned to Tristan and the others. "You all wait here. You can head back in an hour."
As he spoke, Jane drove up to him in an off-road vehicle.
"Mr. Ramsey, hop in!" She called, her eyes shining with enthusiasm as she opened the car door.
Robin climbed into the vehicle, and they took off at high speed.
As the SUV zoomed away, Tristan and Stephanie stood tall, a wave of relief washing over them, their faces breaking into smiles.
Only Jane had the privilege of becoming a disciple of Drakebane!
Both Tristan and Stephanie recognized the immense fortune that came with such a connection to a figure as powerful as him.
The Nevilles' ascent was imminent.
Fifteen minutes later, Jane and Robin arrived at the majestic palace situated in the southern region of Hydra Island.
Although it was midnight, the palace glowed with brilliant lights.
This place was none other than Dragon Hall, the stronghold of Phoenix Vanguard!
Drogo, along with several leaders from various branches of Phoenix Vanguard, anxiously awaited updates about the 13 assassins sent to Draconia.
Those assassins had infiltrated Draconia two full days ago, only to disappear without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air.
Richard Hill, the leader of the Western Uropean branch, nervously spoke up from the left side of Dragon Hall. "Mr. Drogo, it's been quite a while since Darkwolf and his team entered Draconia. Why haven't we heard anything yet?
"This situation is highly suspicious. Do you think Darkwolf and his group have already been eliminated by Drakebane?"
Victor Atkinson, the leader of the South Agracian branch, retorted coldly, "Even if Drakebane is powerful, there's no way he could wipe out 13 elite international assassins in just two days!
"With Darkwolf and the others leading the charge, it's likely that Drakebane is in serious trouble! Hahaha ... "
A short man boasted arrogantly while standing on the table, "Darkwolf and his crew would only encounter real difficulties if the Draconian military got involved. Otherwise, no one can stop them.
"Mr. Drakebane must be suffering greatly for his arrogance.
"Perhaps Mr. Murray will soon bring us news of victory from Draconia!"
Drogo laughed heartily. "With Phoenix Vanguard and the Dark Lord working together, Drakebane is finished!
"Everyone, please stay calm; I'm sure we'll hear from them shortly.
