Chapter 253 Terenova Soup Restaurant
After leaving the imposing Dragon Hall of Phoenix Vanguard, Robin and Jane made their way to the northern beach entrance of Hydra Island.
Awaiting them there were Tristan and the others.
As he glanced at his watch, Tristan noted that Robin and Jane had spent less than forty minutes at the Dragon Hall.
Considering the round trip took about twenty minutes, it meant that Robin had accomplished the astonishing feat of eliminating the core members of Phoenix Vanguard in under twenty minutes.
It was almost beyond belief, especially since Drogo had mobilized elite forces to protect the Dragon Hall.
Before the Nevilles could voice any inquiries, Jane leaped from the car, her exhilaration evident. "Grandpa, Grandma, I was the one who took down Drogo!"
"What?" Tristan's gaze shifted to Robin, bewildered.
Drogo was renowned as one of Phoenix Vanguard's most powerful figures.
How could Jane have possibly defeated him?
"That's right; it was Jane's sword that finished Drogo," Robin affirmed, choosing not to elaborate further. "Alright, you all can manage things here.
"Tell Cassian that if this happens again, he'd better find a good place to bury himself!"
Tristan immediately inclined his head to the Nevilles, replying, "Will do, Lord Drakebane!
"Once we sort things out on Hydra Island, we'll take Cassian and Mavis to Draconia to express our gratitude."
Stephanie stepped forward, addressing Robin. "Lord Drakebane, I will accompany you back to Terenova."
Jane leaped into Robin's embrace, squeezing him tightly. "Mr. Ramsey, Grandpa and I will come find you in Harmonfield in two days!"
Tristan and Stephanie exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with satisfaction as they observed the bond between Jane and Robin.
They understood that Robin had genuinely accepted Jane as his disciple.
Once this information spread, it would elevate the standing of the Nevilles significantly.
Henceforth, any adversaries considering a challenge would think twice, assessing whether they had the power to contend with Drakebane!
Since arriving on Hydra Island, Robin had been enveloped by Jane's excited chatter.
It wasn't until they boarded the helicopter that he finally experienced a moment of peace.
Leaning back in his seat, he closed his eyes, letting a wave of memories wash over him.
Seven years earlier, Old Fred had guided him through Terenova in Demberoa.
An unexpected incident had severed their connection, leaving Robin in silence for two years.
At that time, he was merely 13, still grappling with how to navigate life on his own.
In the unfamiliar city, he was lost, unsure of how to survive.
Old Fred hadn't even left him with a single cent.
For two days, Robin roamed Terenova without food or money, until he collapsed in front of a soup restaurant in Chinatown.
The owner, Marrisa Holt, came to his aid.
When he regained consciousness, Marrisa learned of his struggles and, recognizing his connection to Draconia, offered him temporary shelter.
Marrisa was thirty-eight then and had a daughter named Brenda Holt, who was around Robin's age.
Marrisa had moved to Demberoa with her grandfather during her youth.
Her husband, a soldier, had tragically died in combat during their second year of marriage.
Alone, Marrisa raised her daughter while battling to make ends meet in Terenova's Chinatown.
Eventually, she opened a soup restaurant, which became Robin's refuge during the two long years that Old Fred was absent.
Marrisa's business was struggling as well; she frequently dealt with harassment from local troublemakers.
Both she and her daughter faced tough times.
Thankfully, they embraced Robin like family, leaning on each other for support during difficult moments.
As the days went by, Robin grew more accustomed to the Chinatown area.
