Renewed Oaths

A day later, Oriana arrived at Kisame's Mansion accompanied by Prince Gunner, Milky Cow, and Robin Padaplin. Lexus was taken aback, a mix of shock and relief washing over him as he saw his friends alive and well.

Oriana, with a determined look in her eyes, explained, "It's a long story, Lexus. After you became unconscious, Papa Bear's Private Police came to the rescue. They found Milky Cow with his burned right arm and Robin with a gunshot wound in his shoulder."

Lexus, grateful beyond words, turned to Gunner, his voice filled with curiosity. "Gunner, how did you survive? What happened?"

Gunner took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding. "During our confrontation with the Dino Doll, I had a gut feeling that something was off about Robin. In the darkness, I saw him flick a switch, and that's when the Dino Doll bit my left arm."

Lexus listened intently, his mind piecing together the puzzle. Gunner continued, "But before the imposter Robin returned to the Bendeta Mansion, I woke up and noticed he had placed something under my bed. It turned out to be a bomb."

As Gunner recounted the harrowing experience, the scene shifted to a flashback. Gunner, fueled by adrenaline and quick thinking, swiftly grabbed the bomb and contacted a bomb squad. With their expertise, the bomb was neutralized, averting a disaster.

Oriana's words hung in the air, capturing the attention of everyone in the room. Their curiosity piqued, they eagerly waited to hear her announcement. Oriana's eyes sparkled with determination as she spoke, her voice carrying a sense of purpose.

"Don't worry, everyone. There's a reason that I gathered you all here today," Oriana began, her voice filled with anticipation. The room grew silent as her words echoed through the space.

"We're coming back to find where the Diamonds are," Oriana declared, her voice steady and resolute. Milky Cow and Prince Gunner exchanged glances, their smiles widening with joy. They knew that Oriana, as the true heir of her late parents' riches, held the key to a new beginning for all of them.

Oriana's statement brought a wave of relief and excitement. The weight of their past struggles slowly lifted, and a sense of hope filled the room. They no longer needed to resort to stealing or living on the fringes of society. Oriana and Lexus had promised to share their newfound wealth, ensuring that everyone could start anew.

Milky Cow's eyes glistened with gratitude as he nodded. "Thank you, Oriana. This means everything to us. With your guidance, we can leave our old lives behind and build a better future."

Prince Gunner, his gaze fixed on Oriana, echoed Milky Cow's sentiment. "You're our guiding light, Oriana. Your parents would be proud of the person you've become."

Robin, his voice filled with a mix of longing and hope, interjected, "Wait, what about me? I'm broke too, and I want a chance to start fresh." A hint of sadness colored his words.

The room fell into a brief silence, followed by a burst of laughter. Lexus, his eyes shining with kindness, approached Robin and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, my friend. We're in this together. You'll be a part of our journey too. No one will be left behind."

The laughter and camaraderie in the room grew, filling the air with a sense of unity and renewed purpose. They were bound by their shared experiences, and together, they would embark on a new chapter of their lives—one filled with promise, prosperity, and genuine friendship.
