Noticing the lingering sadness in Joanna's expression, Robin decided to delay his trip to Sakurania for a few more days. His instincts told him that whatever was troubling her hadn't been resolved yet.

His victory at the military martial tournament had unsettled many, and now that he had stepped away from his armor, it created the perfect opening for those eager to take him down.

Robin had no illusions about loyalty or honor. He knew that people didn't truly respect his achievements- they followed him only because he was useful to them.

Otherwise, the truth behind the Dragon Manor massacre wouldn't still be shrouded in mystery.

Originally, Robin had planned to wipe out those responsible for the tragedy before sending Joanna abroad for her Ph.D., ensuring she could leave this chaotic place behind and start fresh. But now, it was clear that this issue needed immediate attention.

His unexpected return had disrupted the balance of power. Those who had hidden their true, ruthless nature beneath a polished exterior were now being exposed.

Those who had been deceived, unwilling to face the harsh reality, wished for nothing more than Robin's permanent disappearance.

Without hesitation, he messaged Luella, asking her to arrange Joanna's studies overseas.
