SWNOVELS Chapter 500
Chapter 500 The Mysterious Path
At half past four in the afternoon.
The setting sun shone obliquely, casting a brilliant golden light.
Municipal Government Compound, the Finley’s house, à team of solemn, armed general guards stood in front of the door.
The Finley’s house had distinguished guests today.
Inside the second floor reception room, the evening glow was full, making the stars dazzling.
Donovan had put on his long–forgotten two–star general’s uniform today, sitting upright in the center of the reception room.
On the left was Randall, dressed in a general’s uniform.
Sitting across from Randall was Roy Chavez, the Director of the Londraland Security Agency.
In the spacious living room, the stars of the lieutenant generals, carried. on the shoulders of the three generals, shone brilliantly in the golden light of the setting sun’s rays.
Roy frowned deeply as he looked at the top–secret letter handed over by Randall.
A moment later, he lifted those eyes, filled with traces of hardship, “Randall, are you suggesting that these disturbances are somehow

connected to the Hanrock Valley massacre twenty years ago?”
Randall nodded, “You were there for the entire process of the Hanrock. Valley massacre that year, you know it best.”
Roy shook his head helplessly, “For twenty years, I’ve been conducting a secret investigation, but there has been no progress.”
“That year, Lord Wyvern Jr. retreated back to Hallcester after a defeat in the southwest, and Hanrock Valley was turned into a river of blood overnight.”
“Lord Wyvern Jr. was a figure of great influence and renown back in the day. Even if he wanted to leave Londraland, he would have likely left some traces behind.”
“When we arrived at the scene in Hanrock Valley, it was littered with piles of corpses, not a blade of grass in sight.”
“Before the investigators from Londraland Security Agency arrived, they had already sealed off all possible exits.”
“Among all the routes leading to the border in Hanrock Valley, more than a dozen blockades were set up, but there was no trace of Lord Wyvern Jr.”
“Later on, I searched with the Criminal Investigation Division of LSA for seven days and seven nights, but Lord Wyvern Jr. was still nowhere. to be found.”
“Back then, the Londraland Security Agency had set up a dragnet centered on Hanrock Valley, extending 500 kilometers outward, but they didn’t find any clues.”

“Over the years, I had been wondering, was there some mysterious passage in Hanrock Valley that could lead to that unknown world we knew nothing about?”
Randall’s eyes lit up, “That’s a possibility! According to your theory, that so–called ancient magic weapon must also be related to this mysterious passage!”
“The message sent back by the Black Guards indicated that the top experts who recently infiltrated Hanrock Valley were all here for that ancient magic weapon.”
“What exactly was this ancient magic weapon? It was unknown!”
“Rumors had circulated in the martial arts world for decades, yet no one could clearly explain what it actually was.”
The most common theory was that the ancient magic weapon was a short dagger. Another theory suggested that it was a token made from ancient jade.
“As for what this ancient magic weapon actually did, no one ever knew.”
“Additionally, whether the ancient magic weapon truly existed or not remained a mystery.”
“Whether Lord Wyvern Jr. had any connection with the ancient artifact was completely unknown.”
“The sudden disturbance in Hanrock Valley this time should be investigated in connection with the bloody incident 20 years ago. We

might gain something from it.”
Donovan nodded, “Hopefully, this investigation will be able to solve the mystery that has been hanging for 20 years.”
“If the case is not resolved before the election of the head of the Eight Lords in August next year, it will be difficult to clear the charge of betrayal against Lord Wyvern’s Mansion.”
Roy nodded, “The key to this case is to find out the truth about the death of 100 elite members of Wyvern Palace in the remote southwest. Only then can everything be clarified.”
At this point in the conversation, a hurried knocking sound came from outside the living room door.
Donovan glanced at Randall and Roy, who no longer brought up the Hanrock Valley incident.
Randall also put away the secret report envelope from Hanrock Valley.
“Come in!” Donovan responded.
“Excuse me, Generals!” Ethen said, quickly stepping forward with his phone in hand to Donovan.
“Father, there was something urgent I needed to inform you about.”
“What’s the matter?” Donovan asked, seeing the serious look on Ethen’s face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Father, Nia had arrived at Hallcester.”
Donovan was somewhat surprised, “What’s the big deal? Isn’t it normal

for one’s own child to come home?”
“That’s not what I meant. Nia is currently at Hallcester Lakeside Primary School, with Mr. Bruce,” Ethen explained.
A smile spread across Donovan’s face, “Wouldn’t it be better to be with
Robin?”
“Hey, what was she doing with Robin at Hallcester Lakeside Primary School?”
Ether hesitated for a moment, “A bullying incident occurred at Hallcester Lakeside Primary School. Flora, the daughter of Freddie, the President of Southern District Development Corporation, committed suicide as a result of this bullying incident.”
“Was the one who committed suicide by jumping off a building at noon today.”
Donovan’s eyes widened instantly, “What?! Freddie… I remember he was with Robin.”
Ethen nodded.
Donovan seemed to realize something. “Robin and Nia stood up for Freddie?”
Ethen nodded shakily, “Father, do you mean to say that their current status is inappropriate for this matter? Should I call them back?”
Donovan frowned, “Randall was just talking to me about the cyberbullying incidents at school, these kids are terrible!”
“The law was still not quite perfect back then!”
At this point, Donovan paused for a moment in thought, “What’s wrong with them participating!”
“Upholding social justice is everyone’s responsibility! Let alone a soldier!”
“Was that a live video on your phone?”
Ethen nodded, “Yes.”
“Let me see, how far has the situation progressed?”
Ethen placed his phone on the table.
The live situation at Hallcester Lakeside Primary School was being broadcasted, showing Miguel entering the campus, preparing to confront Robin and others.
After reading it, Donovan slammed his hand on the table, “Damn it, a bunch of beasts!”
“Ethen, notify the guards to prepare the car, and bring along the general’s guard from the Finley’s house! Today, I am going to the scene to support my granddaughter!”
“These bullies who abused their power were simply lawless!”
“Ah!” Randall pointed at Rhonda on the screen, deliberately saying, “Roy, your daughter is here too.”
“Huh?” Roy immediately widened his eyes.
“Yeah, wasn’t she at Mount Ammo Training Base? How did she end up here?”
A smirk tugged at the corner of Randall’s mouth, “She works for Nia, of course she had to come with her.”
“Uh, General Finley, I’ll go with you!” Roy immediately stood up and said urgently.
Randall tugged at him, “Chief Chavez, about the matter of Hanrock Valley…”
“Hadn’t the matter at Hanrock Valley not even started yet? My people have already gone to investigate. My daughter’s issue is even more urgent!” Roy said, as he hurriedly rushed out.
Randall looked at Roy’s nervous expression and laughed, “I’ll go with you guys too.”
Rhonda was the daughter he only had when he was forty.
Roy treated his precious daughter as more important than his own life.
Anything related to his daughter could be done without any hesitation.
Roy walked out the door, pointing at his head of security, “Take all the guards from the security team with me to Hallcester Lakeside Primary School, there’s an urgent mission! Whoever dares to bully my daughter, I’ll deal with him!”
