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.”

    "You might want to check the news. Everything is there," Shawn replied. He didn't have the time to act as Roman's reporter."Call me back when you're done." Without waiting for a response, he hung up.At the Hutton Mansion...Roman's room.As the call dropped, Roman couldn't help but furrow his brows. What could be going on?

    Shawn frowned at Cipher's request. That girl was Roman's prized possession. Roman would rather die than let another man have her.Snatching her from him for Cipher's sake would make them fall out completely."Isn't there still that girl, Lena Harmon? She's just as beautiful as Sheila, with equal status, and Robin cares for her too. Why don't you have her?"Cipher frowned. "But why?""Because Sheila is already another man's prized possession, and unless I'm willing to kill him, I can't give her to you.""Who is that?""Roman Hutton.""Roman Hutton?" Cipher blinked, his brows narrowed in confusion. "Then kill him. That shouldn't be a problem, right?""He's a partner," Shawn shook his head. "While I'll betray him in the end, I don't plan to kill him. He's a good boy, one who's better kept alive. Just have Lena.""But she doesn't love that punk, boss!" Cipher abruptly raised his voice. When he realized what he had done, he immediately fell to his knees and apologized. "I'm sorry, boss, I

    "He was thrown into Castle Varn?"In the Hollow at the Abyssal Dominion, Shawn Morningstar, sitting on the throne, was in disbelief as he took in the news circulating. "Is this really true?""It is, boss," a member of the Abyssal Dominion, the one who had interrupted Shawn and Asher earlier, walked in and said, bowing in respect."Oh?" Shawn arched a brow at him. "You're very sure?""Yes, boss," the guard nodded. "As you ordered, I left to find out what happened with the Aldridge family. And when I found out, I realized so many things were still in motion. So, I decided to secretly follow Mr. Kessler's car until it disappeared onto the road leading to Castle Varn. "While I hid, I also noticed some guards from the Dunns, Harmons, and Langfords lurking. Clearly, they had been sent to confirm whether Robin was really sent in and whether Dorian came back alone."A few minutes ago, Dorian's car appeared on the road after so many hours, and sure enough, I didn't see Robin inside. It's cle

    Back in the city, at the foot of the road leading to Castle Varn, under the dark night, many figures stood at different spots, their eyes fixed on the road.These figures were the respective guards of the Dunns, the Langfords, the Harmons, and the newly recruited thugs of Julian Croft.They had been sent to confirm when Dorian's car would drive back into the city, which would signify that Robin had been successfully put behind bars.These guards had been here since Dorian's car drove onto this road, despite the cold, which was too cold for anyone to be out in.Most had cigarettes hanging loosely from their lips. These helped against the cold, while a few others rubbed their palms together when it got too cold.The clock had just struck 11:30 when Dorian's car finally appeared in view, its blinding headlights announcing its arrival."It's the officer's car!" one of the guards shouted."That's right! Finally!" another said in relief."Our mission is complete. We have to report immediate

    In front of the Castle wall, silence fell, everyone looking at Robin in disbelief. He was a prisoner himself, when did it become his place to decide who came in and who left? Why did it look like he was the boss while they were his guards?How brazen!But a few of the guards felt he was right. Why could Dorian come and go while they could only stay? Which of them hadn't considered getting out of Castle Varn through the hole?They only hadn't because they were completely loyal to Warden Voss.Dorian was first stunned, then burst out laughing. "So you want to stop me?""Actually, no," Robin abruptly shook his head.Everyone exchanged a glance.Has this inmate lost a screw in his head?Hadn't he just asked Dorian whether he'd told him he could leave?Had he quickly forgotten?But Robin's next sentence made them realize he wasn't crazy at all."It's just that if you want to leave, you'll have to find your own way.
