"Don't rush." Kafka smiled faintly and said casually, "The Aeon won't appear before us so soon. This is just a rehearsal."
"Just like what we did on the Xianzhou Luofu—go all out, and that'll be enough."
Order has already been reduced to embers; it won't be easy for it to rise from the ashes again.
Because its Path was absorbed by Harmony, reviving Order is even more difficult than reviving Propagation.
The Family of Penacony is rely a branch family and simply doesn't possess that kind of strength.
"Oh." March 7th patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. You almost scared to death!"
"So that ans our goal this ti is to take down The Family, right?!" Stelle suddenly beca excited and spoke passionately. "O, Evil Family—just wait and see how aweso I am!"
"And Robin too! Who would've thought that sweet-voiced, pretty big sister was actually a bad person? I'm definitely going to interrogate her properly!"
She was utterly heartbroken. She had even thought before that Robin looked nice and must be a good person.
She never expected reality to be like this. She was already thinking she'd have to tie Robin up and interrogate her thoroughly.
The rope has to cinch around the collarbone and pass across the chest. That slim waist can't be missed either. And those long, slender legs—absolutely have to be bound together so she can't escape.
Hiss—hah, hiss—hah!
"Hey, weren't you listening to what I just said?" Sol brought two fingers together and flicked Stelle on the forehead. "Robin is on our side. Don't get any bad ideas."
"Oh…"
Stelle covered her head, looking pitiful.
I'm still so young—I don't have any bad thoughts at all!
"That's right. Miss Robin is a pure follower of Harmony, but her voice beca hoarse because of the Family's corruption." Gallagher straightened his expression and said, "I once wanted to invite Miss Robin to cooperate as well, but Mr. rcer got to her first."
"Look, they're here."
Sol turned his gaze toward an open space.
A dreamlike vortex opened, and Black Swan appeared before everyone with Robin.
Robin looked at the crowd filling the area and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
She hadn't expected that all the help she was searching for would be gathered in one place.
The Interastral Peace Corporation, the Astral Express Crew, the Stellaron Hunters, the Watchmaker's successor, the Masked Fools.
With these people helping, even the lingering echoes of Order no longer seed that threatening.
She couldn't help but look toward Sol among the crowd. Was this his arrangent?
Robin gave a slight bow and said solemnly, "Mr. Sol, thank you for your guidance."
She wasn't familiar with the environnt of Dreamflux Reef. If Black Swan hadn't guided her in ti, she might have missed this chance to et everyone gathered here.
Sol smiled gently and replied warmly, "It's nothing. I already said I'd extend a helping hand. Saying thanks now just makes it feel distant."
"Thank you for your help!"
Robin nodded subconsciously.
At her most difficult mont, even her own brother had beco an enemy she needed to defeat. How could she not be moved when Sol reached out to her at such a critical ti?
She would rember this kindness.
"..."
Acheron felt sothing was off. Robin seed strangely familiar.
Not the kind of familiarity from eting once—but the kind from having seen her many tis.
"There's no need to be so formal." Sol smiled and gently drew Robin closer. "Go ahead and say hello to everyone first."
"Mm."
Robin nodded, then looked toward the others and said politely, "I'm Robin of the Iris Family from Penacony. It's a pleasure to et you all."
"Hello, elegant songstress."
Kafka lifted her chin slightly and responded softly. "I'm Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters—a wanted criminal."
"Firefly, a mber of the Stellaron Hunters."
"Aventurine. But there's no need for too much introduction, right? After all, Miss Robin, it was you who guided here."
"Miss Robin! Even though I already said it once, I still want to say it again—I'm your cutest fan, March 7th!"
Soon, everyone exchanged greetings and beca acquainted.
Sol looked at Robin and said, "Your timing is perfect. We were just talking about you."
"Hm?"
Robin looked a little surprised. "May I ask what it was about?"
"Through various channels, we've uncovered The Family's plan to revive Order." Hiko stepped forward and addressed Robin. "We'd like to hear your thoughts, as a mber of The Family."
"This isn't suspicion. After all, the fact that you're here already shows your choice."
Her tone was sincere and earnest—she didn't want to create unnecessary misunderstandings.
In her analysis, Sol and Robin had learned of The Family's conspiracy earlier than anyone else, and Robin herself had been introduced by Sol.
These two were close allies—far closer than Sol's relationship with the Astral Express Crew.
"I'm glad I can help you." Robin took a deep breath and revealed a smile of pure beauty. "At first, I only felt that sothing was wrong. But with Mr. Sol's guidance, I confird the truth after verifying it myself."
"The Family does indeed want to revive Order, but this is only the idea of the Oak Family. The other families within The Family were not involved."
In truth, they were. The Charmony Festival was a major event for all of Penacony. Without tacit approval from other high-ranking figures, the Oak Family couldn't have accomplished it alone.
But for now, to preserve the remaining spark, it was enough for the Oak Family alone to bear the bla. The other families could not be implicated.
"If I rember correctly, the head of the Oak Family—Sunday—is your brother, isn't he?"
Aventurine suddenly spoke, fixing his gaze on Robin.
"That's right. My brother is indeed a key figure in this revival of Order." Robin nodded, her voice tinged with discomfort. "I don't want to admit it, but that's the truth."
"I must stop him—stop him from making an irreversible mistake."
She had already spoken with her brother before, and both had strengthened their resolve.
Her brother wanted to prove that he was right, while she wanted to correct that mistake—standing on the side of justice and securing a chance at redemption for him.
No matter the cost, she could not lose her brother.
"But how can we trust you?" Aventurine's expression turned playful. "Perhaps this is just a performance by you siblings—an act to infiltrate our powerful group and sabotage us from within?"
Of course, he knew Robin wasn't lying. After all, it was Robin who had awakened him to the truth.
But at this mont, if he wanted to secure greater benefits, he couldn't let the plan follow Robin's lead.
If he ended up putting in all the effort only to be silenced by The Family afterward, that would be a massive loss. As if he'd believe this was solely the Oak Family's decision.
If the Oak Family took the fall and the other families stepped out to wash their hands clean, he wouldn't be able to pass on any truly valuable intelligence.
"I can't deny that possibility."
Robin pressed her lips together slightly, letting out a quiet sigh in her heart.
She hated dealing with people like this—but reality always forced people to move forward.
"She's soone I chose." Sol stepped in front of Robin, his gaze sharp as it locked onto Aventurine. "Are you questioning my decision?"
The little bird he intended to protect would not be bullied just by anyone.
