At his words, the security guards immediately moved towards Robin.

Initially, it was just to send Robin out, but now, they were out to deal with him.

Their hands clutched their weapons, their faces full of malice.

Seeing this, Marcus and Sarah immediately lit up, their shock long gone.

"Do not go easy on him. Make sure he never walks with those legs or uses those hands again!" Sarah said viciously. She had been wanting to deal with Robin. This was it.

"Yes! How dare a worthless nobody like him hit one of you? Break his damn legs and hands, and beat him to an inch of his life, then throw him out!" Marcus added, a triumphant smile tugging at the corners of his lips. It was almost as if he could already see Robin groaning outside the premises in pain, his legs and hands broken.

"He deserves whatever he gets. How dare a loser like him touch a security guard of Eagle Industries?" one of the guests said.

"One should be aware of their own worth. He's really reckless for a nobody," another guest added. The rest nodded in agreement, their gazes on Robin filled with disgust and contempt.

Meanwhile, in the face of everything—the guards rushing towards him, the guests, Marcus and Sarah's words, and their gazes on him—Robin didn't react in any way. He just stood there, as if an emotionless statue.

The chaos hadn't gone unnoticed.

"You, punk, you dared hit one of us. What gave you the guts?" As they arrived in front of Robin, one of the security guards asked condescendingly.

Robin ignored him.

He wasn't worthy of a response.

This made the security guard even more furious. How dare this country bumpkin ignore him? He immediately lifted his baton and charged at Robin.

The rest also joined him.

"STOP!"

Just as the batons were an inch from touching Robin, a sudden roar rang out.

The guards immediately froze, their gazes turning towards the owner of the voice. Sarah, Marcus and the rest of the guests also turned to look. One glance, and excitement flickered across their faces.

Things were about to get even more interesting. The new intruder was none other than the lobby manager.

Robin was definitely done for!

"What's going on here?" The lobby manager's voice was cold and sharp. Today was an important day. How could these fools be creating chaos? He was so mad!

The security guard, who Robin had sent flying, said indignantly, "It's that punk, sir!" he pointed at Robin, "he's pretending to have an exclusive invitation card. I tried to calmly ask him out after confirming it was fake but he had the guts to hit me!"

"Haha. That card is surely fake. A brat that I dumped because he had nothing to his name just a few days ago, how could he possibly have an exclusive card of Eagle Industries? Hmph!" Sarah sneered.

"Perhaps, he did all that just to impress us. Haha." Marcus added and chuckled mockingly at Robin. He stared at him. "You must be really scared, right?" He jeered.

Robin didn't say anything. Not worth it.

Meanwhile, the lobby manager's face darkened. He walked over to Robin, his gaze taking him in. Almost immediately, one could see disgust appear on his face.

Clearly, he thought exactly as the rest.

"You said you have an exclusive card?" he asked flatly.

"Yes." Robin also responded flatly, extending the card toward him. "Now, tell me, do you also think my card is fake?"

"I can't believe he's still keeping up this act," Sarah sneered. "He really won't cry blood until he is in the coffin."

"Let him keep pretending, darling," Marcus said, his lips curling into a smirk. "I can't wait to see his face when reality finally hits."

The lobby manager's gaze fell on the card in Robin's hand, and for a split second, his eyes widened, his body stiffening.

Th... That was the exclusive black card issued to Eagle Industries's top executives!

But then, his excitement faded as he took a closer look. Though it resembled the black card, the design was slightly off. He had never seen this version before.

There could only be one explanation...

It was a fake.

His expression darkened instantly. "How dare you try to enter Eagle Industries with a counterfeit card?" he snapped at Robin. "You even assaulted a security guard and had the audacity to ask me that ridiculous question? You truly don't know your place!"

His glare shifted to the guards. "More men! Take him down and throw him out. And get rid of that!" He tossed the card to the floor.

"Yes, sir!" More guards flooded the scene, advancing toward Robin with menace in their eyes.

Robin's eyes narrowed slightly, the ring on his finger churning with barely-contained anger. Still, his face remained impassive.

"Hahaha!" Sarah's voice rang out, dripping with mockery. "Look at you, Robin. Pretending to be something you're not. You must be regretting this now!"

Marcus grinned beside her, clearly savoring the moment.

The guards closed in, their batons raised high, aiming for Robin's vital points. One solid strike and he'd be finished.

"STOP!"

Just as the batons hovered an inch from making contact, a thunderous voice echoed through the room, halting everyone in their tracks. The sheer authority in the shout sent a ripple of tension through the air.

A middle-aged man strode in, his aura commanding, his presence overpowering. The crowd collectively drew a sharp breath.

It was the regional manager!

The boss of the lobby manager!

"Sir...," the lobby manager tried to greet him, only to be cut off—

SMACK!

A blistering slap landed squarely across his face.

"You fool!" the regional manager barked, his face a mask of fury.

Stunned silence fell over the crowd. What was going on? Was the boss seriously striking his own employee?

Weren’t they on the same side?

"W-What did I do, sir?" the lobby manager stammered, clutching his cheek in shock and confusion.

"What didn't you do?" the regional manager shot back, his eyes blazing.

Without wasting another second, he marched over to Robin, pushing away the security guards, and picked up the discarded card in front of him.

Turning to the lobby manager, his voice thundered, "The card you threw on the floor and dismissed as fake—it's the highest-level black card issued by Eagle Industries!"

"What?!"

The lobby manager's jaw dropped. The security guards blinked in disbelief. Sarah, Marcus, and the rest of the guests stood frozen, stunned beyond words.

The highest-level black card?

Belonging to Robin?

Unbelievable!

The regional manager ignored their stunned gazes. Turning to Robin, he bowed reverently. "Sir, I sincerely apologize for this disgraceful incident. The fault lies with me for not training my subordinates properly. Please, I beg your forgiveness.”

    The Medical Sage continued, “I obtained some classified information. A mystic realm belonging to one of the blue-blood families in the capital will open in two months. I haven’t confirmed which family yet, but I’m working on it. Once I do, I’ll inform you.”“You two… are you trying to send Robin to his death?” Sheila snapped, unable to hold back anymore. “You just said even exceptionally powerful people die there like flies, yet you still want him to go?”“Uhm…” The Medical Sage was left speechless.“Sheila, it’s fine,” Robin said calmly. “These herbs are important to me. Even if I have to go to the depths of hell to get them, I will.” His gaze shifted to the old man. “You said a particular family owns this mystic realm. That means not just anyone can enter, right?”“That’s correct,” the Medical Sage nodded. “Entry is strictly by invitation. But you don’t need to worry about that. Once I confirm which family it is, I can easily secure you an invitation.”“Alright then, I’ll rely on yo

    Robin paused in his tracks.An old figure had already dropped to his knees before him. Robin didn’t even look—he already knew who it was.Naturally, it was the Medical Sage.“Robin,” Sheila called as she walked over. Clearly, she had come with him.Robin pursed his lips. “Did you tell him I was here?” he asked flatly, clearly referring to the Medical Sage.Sheila laughed. “Only you would act like the legendary Medical Sage is a nuisance. Other people would pay a fortune just to have him glance at them.”Robin rolled his eyes. “That doesn’t answer my question.”“I did, Grandmaster,” a voice came from behind him.Silas.His face was flushed, his expression like a child who had just tattled.“You snitch,” Robin said without turning. Then his gaze dropped to the Medical Sage. “Won’t you get up, old man? Aren’t you embarrassed, kneeling in front of your apprentice?”“Haha!” The Medical Sage laughed as he rose to his feet. “You are my master, why should I be? So what if he sees me kneel? He

    Audrey and Reid froze in shock.What was going on?They couldn’t make sense of it.One moment, Silas was confronting Robin, and the next, he was kneeling before him.Even though they had heard everything clearly, they still couldn’t believe it.Robin was just a kid—a kid! How could he be the legendary Medical Sage’s master, making him Silas’ grandmaster?And when did the Medical Sage even come to Westridge? Why hadn’t they heard anything about it?It all sounded too unreal.“So the special figure who came to the Dunns that day was the Medical Sage,” a voice suddenly sounded at that moment.Will walked into the room.His eyes were filled with shock and awe.He had returned a few minutes ago, but just as he was about to step in, he heard Robin’s exchange with Silas.It sounded too intriguing, so he chose to stay back and listen till the end.If Silas had made a move or tried anything, he would have naturally stepped in.But the way things turned out was beyond anything he had expected.

    A mother would stop her son when he was being rude to a guest, not to mention kicking him out so condescendingly.But Audrey didn't.She only stood there. And at Reid's words, she simply said coolly, just because of that warning her husband had given before leaving, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ramsay, but your expertise is no longer needed. I hope you don't take offense, but I prefer Dr. Silas to handle this. If you don't mind, please leave."Robin let a disappointing sigh. "Mrs. Langford, are you and your son not going too far? I was invited by Charles and Will. Even if you don't need my expertise anymore, shouldn't I stay and wait for at least one of them to return? It'll be rude to leave just like that, don't you think?" Naturally, Robin didn't even need to stay and be asking this, he could have simply left. But he couldn’t bring himself to leave Charlotte, who Charles and Will had left in his care. What if this Silas was a fraud?What if he failed to treat her?He hadn't mentioned, but the y

    Will stood there, stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. Was diagnosis really that quick? Robin just checked for a few seconds and he already knew what was wrong? He thought he was an amazing doctor, but he didn't think it was this freaky!And the illness, why did it sound so simple in his mouth? Something that had stumped countless doctors? Even the materials, except for the angelica root, were all basic stuff. Could it really be simple like this!?Will's thoughts were plain and on a sane level, but Audrey beside him was a nut case. Her thoughts were already in the gutter, her expression crinkling to disgust.She didn't even try to hide it.Robin wanted her to strip her daughter naked and put her in the hot bathtub?What type of doctor treated illness like that? What kind of treatment was even that?Her disgusted gaze fell on Robin. He must have seen how beautiful her daughter was and had these perverse thoughts.Hah! He wanted to take advantage of her daughter right in her and her

    Morning arrived faster than one could say Westridge.At Mount Rushmore…Robin knelt before his father as he always did whenever he visited.He took his hand and kissed it.“Father,” he whispered, emotion thick in his voice. “I’ve found the second herb. As you can see, I’m working very hard. So just hold on for me. Don’t even think about giving up.”His jaw tightened. “I’ll bring you back. I promise.”Katherine stood behind him. She had long grown tired of crying. Now, she simply stood there, expressionless. Yet beneath that stillness, a faint flicker of joy lingered for the first time in days.And this was because of the second herb in Robin’s hand.“Here, keep it.”Robin rose and handed it to her.Katherine accepted it and put it away carefully.“I’ll leave now. I have things to attend to. Thank you for your hard work,” Robin said as he turned.Katherine walked beside him.“I heard about what happened yesterday, Young Master,” she said, anger flashing in her eyes. “Do you need the t
