Chapter 230 Spiral Heights on a Rainy Night

At 11 PM, Harmonfield's March night held onto the last chills of spring, the cold wind biting as it whipped through. A light drizzle began to fall.

Along the lonely mountain road leading to Villa One in the Dawnspire Heights Estates, figures in black clothing slipped past, vanishing like shadows into the wind and rain.

A Hummer sped up the road. Inside, Robin glimpsed a few fleeting shapes through the rain, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Rowan, kill the headlights and go down the fork toward Dragon Ridge Valley."

"Yes, Mr. Ramsey."

Rain splashed up as the Hummer rounded a curve on Dawnspire Mountain. Then, with a rush of wind, it disappeared into the dark valley, leaving the mountain path silent again.

The men in black in the valley instantly grew alert and quickly scourred several mountain paths in search of Robin.

"General, the target is gone," one of them promptly reported to Jack.

Moments later, they spotted the Hummer speeding out of a junction ahead, racing toward the Peak of Dawnspire Mountain.

The dozen of black-clad figures confirmed that their target had reappeared.

They immediately resumed the pursuit, following the Hummer at a distance as it headed toward the summit.

At the treacherous curve of Spiral Heights, the Hummer gradually came to a stop.

A dozen strangers emerged from three Mercedes. Anthony, accompanied by an elder close to his own age, approached swiftly. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Ramsey," he greeted. Robin stepped out of the car, with Rowan standing beside him, holding a large black umbrella.

"Jason, come over here and kneel before Mr. Ramsey!" Tristan instructed, motioning to Jason, who was hiding behind him.

Jason stepped forward shakily, preparing to kneel, but Robin said indifferently, "It's fine; that matter is in the past."

Tristan quickly responded, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Ramsey. The Neville family is willing to give its all in your service to vanquish any threats."

Robin glanced at the older man before him and replied impassively, "Tristan, there's nothing owed between the Neville family and me. Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"

Tristan bowed and replied, "Mr. Ramsey, Cassian Chapman is the son-in-law of the Neville family. My daughter Mavis Neville is also a member of the Phoenix Vanguard."

"Years ago, Cassian made a solemn vow that the Phoenix Vanguard would always regard Mr. Ramsey with respect. The disciples of Phoenix Vanguard would serve Mr. Ramsey for life." "With this vow, we will never betray you!"

"Now, that scoundrel Drogo has allied himself with the Dark Lord, inciting the Phoenix Vanguard disciples to come and kill Mr. Ramsey. The Neville family will not stand by idly!" "Mr. Ramsey, the Neville family is willing to battle for you!"
