The expressions on Conrad and Darren’s faces instantly turned cold.
Darren had held some hope for Anna before.
But at this point, it was all gone!
The enchanting fairy tale of the bar’s perfect couple had become a scar of time.
He never imagined that Anna would say that to Robin.
Seeing Robin’s attitude, Anna shook her head in frustration. “Robin, you’re no longer that 13 or 14-year-old boy. You should handle issues like a real man, with reason. “This isn’t a world where you rely on your fists; it’s about a person’s overall capabilities.
“Do you even understand what overall capabilities mean?
“If you can’t understand this, your efforts will be misdirected, and your way of handling problems will be wrong.
“If your mindset is wrong, your life direction will be too.”
Then, Anna glanced at the expressionless Robin and sighed.
“Fine, because we knew each other back then, I’ll say a bit more.
“When we talk about a person’s overall capabilities, it’s not just about how much strength you possess; it includes your background, wealth, status, and network. “Those social resources are your true power. Do you get it?”
Alison exclaimed excitedly, “Yes, yes! Ms. Harlow is absolutely right!”
It was only then that Anna noticed Alison beside her, and a flash of irritation crossed her face. “Did I give you permission to speak?”
Alison quickly replied, “I’m sorry, Ms. Harlow! I got carried away by your words and spoke without thinking.”
A hint of satisfaction flickered in Anna’s eyes as she turned her attention back to Robin.
“Robin, I know that being at the bottom of society makes it difficult for you to understand the lifestyle and logic of the upper class. I can empathize with you. “Consider this. What would have happened if I hadn’t arrived in time?
“Do you think you could confront the Grimwolf Crew, the Terenova police, or even the upper echelons of power all by yourself?
“That would be impossible!
“You might lose your life because of your stubbornness, and I really don’t want to see that.
“After all, we once knew each other.
“Robin, a true man knows when to be flexible. What harm is there in apologizing to Adrian and the Grimwolf Crew?
“Forget about pride.
“Staying alive is what truly matters.
“No matter what social class you belong to, only living has real meaning.
“After this, I can introduce you to some influential people.
“If you cherish these connections and win their favor, your life could take a different direction.
“Even if you’re not the sharpest, as long as you serve them well, you can at least reach the middle class, and you won’t have to mingle with people at the bottom of society anymore. “Robin, I’m being patient and explaining all this because of the bond we shared seven years ago.
“Stop being stubborn and apologize to Adrian and the Grimwolf Crew. Then this matter will be over.
“And your friend Conrad won’t have to deal with the Grimwolf Crew anymore.”
After saying this, Anna proudly glanced at the few people in the bar.
The large Dreamscape Bar was eerily quiet.
Alison nodded in admiration and turned to Robin, saying, “Ms. Harlow is absolutely right! Why don’t you hurry and apologize to Adrian?”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Do you really enjoy apologizing that much?”
Brenda tugged at Alison, her anger flaring. “How can you say that? “Have you forgotten how the Grimwolf Crew bullied us?!
“Robin would never listen to that trashy woman and apologize to them!”
A flicker of annoyance crossed Anna’s face. “Who do you think you are?”
Brenda glared at Anna defiantly. “I’m
his sister, and I look down on your
No matter how wealthy or
you are, you’re not worthy of bin!”
Robin chuckled softly and affectionately ruffled Brenda’s hair.
“How dare you!” Anna’s two bodyguards stepped forward, ready to attack Brenda. Robin pulled Brenda close to him, smiling coldly. “Think twice before you act! “Brenda is my sister. If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, I will kill them!” “Robin!” Brenda’s eyes glistened with tears as she leaned against him. Seven years ago, Robin would say this to the punks who dared to bully her. Anna’s eyes lit up.
On that golden evening seven years ago, Robin had said something similar to her!
“Get out of here!” Anna commanded the bodyguards.
Then she turned to Robin, taking a deep breath. “Robin, I understand the fierce pride that comes from your world.
“Better to break than to bend.
“But what was the outcome?
“Why complicate things? Just apologize, and it will all be over.”
Robin met Anna’s scornful gaze with a chilling smile.
“The Grimwolf Crew forced Conrad’s sister Charis to take drugs, and Adrian raped her.
“These monsters took turns violating Charis.
“And as if that wasn’t enough, they cruelly killed her!
“You’re a woman too. Don’t you have any compassion for what happened to Charis?
“You want me to apologize to those inhuman beasts in exchange for my and Conrad’s leaving here?
“Is this the logic of the so-called upper class that you pride yourself on?”
Anna listened to Robin’s words with an expressionless face and replied coldly, “Robin, right now, you should be thinking about how to leave here alive with your friend Conrad
“Instead of obsessing over insignificant issues from the past.
“I’m not sure what you’ve experienced over the years.
“How did you become so stubborn?
“I just want to share a timeless truth with you!
“To be a hero who protects others, you must have the necessary strength.
“Without status, background, identity, wealth, or connections, you can achieve nothing!
“Otherwise, not only will you be unable to help others, but you’ll also drag yourself into a bottomless abyss.
“In the end, you’ll become everyone’s laughingstock.
“When someone is in over their head, it’s a recipe for disaster.
“And let’s face it, that’s a major cause of life’s tragedy.”
As Anna spoke, she shot a scornful glance at Robin, Darren, and Conrad, shaking her head. “The real world is like @jungle filled with wild beasts.
“The law of the jungle is that the weak are preyed upon while the strong survive.
“Conrad’s sister was forced into drug use by the Grimwolf Crew and gang-raped to death by them; this means she was too weak. “Her tragic fate was unavoidable.
“The Grimwolf Crew’s actions are hardly unexpected.
“It’s like stepping on an ant. Do you think you’ve done anything wrong?
“Would you go to war with the entire world over the death of an ant?”
In his lifeless eyes, a fierce killing intent suddenly surged.
“Robin, you should go. This matter has nothing to do with you. If possible, please help take care of my mother.”
Anna immediately became alert, instinctively taking a step back.
The bodyguards and the Grimwolf Crew quickly prepared for a fight.
For a moment, the Dreamscape Bar was thick with a chilling atmosphere of impending violence.
Roland immediately ordered all officers to aim their guns at Conrad.
Darren panicked, pulled Conrad and whispered, “Don’t be impulsive, Conrad.”
Robin pulled out a wet wipe to clean his hands and smirked at Conrad. “You can take care of your mother yourself. I don’t have the time!” Conrad glanced at the wet wipe in Robin’s hand and understood his implication. “Robin, you…
Robin smiled indifferently. “I got Ms. Harlow’s message loud and clear!
”
“So this is the logic of their upper-class society: survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak.
“Having power allows one to do as they please; being kind and weak is a crime!
“Conrad, I find this logic rather appealing in a situation like today’s.”
Anna’s previously tense expression relaxed.
A radiant smile spread across her delicate face.
“Robin, you’ve finally come around.”
She then signaled to Roland and the other officers to lower their weapons.
Turning to Adrian, she said, “The Harlows will spare no effort to bring in the world’s top medical experts to treat your injuries.
“Even that area of yours can be fully restored.
“Robin will apologize; let’s put this matter to rest today.”
Adrian reluctantly nodded. “Very well, Ms. Harlow, I suppose I can reluctantly agree.”
He then pointed at Robin provocatively. “I would never have accepted such a resolution under normal circumstances! “I’m letting you off for Ms. Harlow’s sake.
“Come on, apologize to me.”
The Grimwolf Crew’s henchmen laughed triumphantly.
Matthew and Drew immediately straightened up, pointing at Robin. “Come on, make sure to say it out loud! Hahaha.”
Robin chuckled as he walked toward Adrian.
Anna watched Robin approach, her eyes shining with the excitement of a conqueror.
“Robin!” Conrad stepped in front of him.
Robin patted his shoulder and pushed him aside.
“Robin, you can’t do that!” Brenda rushed to his side, pleading.
Alison pulled Brenda back. “Don’t stop him! He needs to apologize so we can get out of here.”
Robin ruffled Brenda’s hair and smiled. “Silly girl, who said I’m going to apologize?
“If being weak is a crime, then this trash should die!”
Then, Robin slammed his foot down on the hard floor of the bar.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the scattered parts of an assault rifle flew into Robin’s hands, assembling in an instant.
The cold muzzle pressed against Adrian’s forehead.
Thud! A muffled sound followed.
A wound the size of a baby’s fist erupted on Adrian’s head!
The arrogant smile on Adrian’s face still lingered.
His mouth fell open, his eyes wide with confusion, shock, and despair.
He never imagined that Robin would dare to kill him in front of the police and the Harlows.
He struggled to fight back, but he had no strength left.
The world in his eyes grew
increasingly blurred and distant, like falling into a bottomless abyss of darkness, completely losing control and awareness.
Anna’s smile turned into a mask of sheer shock.
She never imagined that, in less than a split second, Robin would shoot Adrian dead!
Conrad shook his head helplessly, glancing at Robin’s back. “Sigh! Robin, I dragged you into this!”
Amid the shock of Anna and everyone else,
Robin raised the assault rifle and aimed it at Drew and Matthew.
Two gunshots rang out, shattering their skulls.
“Get down and cover your heads!” Robin directed his gun at the panicked henchmen of the Grimwolf Crew.
In an instant, the bar’s main hall was filled with people on the ground.
Robin slowly aimed his gun at Anna and smiled brightly.
Anna looked at him in shock. “You … You…”
Two gunshots rang out.
The legs of two bodyguards beside Anna were pierced by bullets, causing them to collapse to the ground. Roland and the other officers were momentarily stunned before swiftly pointing their weapons at Robin.
Robin tossed the rifle to Conrad.
Conrad grabbed the rifle and pressed it directly against Roland’s forehead. “Everyone, drop your weapons and get down on the ground!” The bar was filled with a chilling, terrifying, and bloody atmosphere.
Roland stared at the unbelievable
scene before him, trembling in fear.
He collapsed to the ground, crying out, “Don’t kill me! Please, I beg you.”
After a moment, Anna snapped out of her shock. “Robin, you’re too ruthless!”
“Ruthless?” Robin chuckled, shaking his head.
“Isn’t that what you told me? This is a world where the weak are preyed upon, and the strong can do as they please.
“I killed Adrian, this beast, and his kind because they were too weak! Am I in the wrong?
“If you want to blame someone, blame their lack of strength. They died, and what’s there to regret?
“It’s just like crushing an ant-there’s no right or wrong in that.
“Killing them, what does it matter?”
Robin repeated Anna’s aloof words back to her.
A flicker of astonishment flashed in Anna’s stunning eyes.
Under the dim, swaying light, she reevaluated the poised man before her.
His handsome features radiated an undeniable air of authority.
What had he been through in these seven years?
Just then, a man hurried in and leaned close to Anna’s ear, whispering, “We couldn’t find any records of this man.”
Anna snorted.
No records meant that Robin had accomplished nothing in the past seven years!
A thug who relied on brute force and violence to get by would never make it big! “Did Mr. Douglas issue the SWAT team deployment order?”
Before coming here, Anna’s father had used the Harlows’ influence to coordinate with the city government in Terenova, ensuring that the SWAT team was prepared to handle the
situation at Dreamscape Barjust in case.
“Miss, Mr. Douglas has already signed the order. Captain Cyrus Patel of the City SWAT team has arrived at the entrance of Dreamscape Bar.”
Anna took a deep breath, a hint of a smile flickering in her eyes.
She looked up at Robin. “I thought you might take my advice, but I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn and ruthless.
“Well, since you’ve made your choice, I hope you’re ready to face the consequences of your actions!”
Moments later, a team of heavily armed special police officers burst into the bar, their weapons aimed at Robin, Conrad, and the others.
A tall, imposing officer barked, “Criminals, get down on the ground with your hands on your heads immediately, or we will shoot to kill!”
In his lifeless eyes, a fierce killing intent suddenly surged.
“Robin, you should go. This matter has nothing to do with you. If possible, please help take care of my mother.”
Anna immediately became alert, instinctively taking a step back.
The bodyguards and the Grimwolf Crew quickly prepared for a fight.

A tall, imposing officer barked, “Criminals, get down on the ground with your hands on your heads immediately, or we will shoot to kill!”
Cyrus released the safety on his handgun, advancing cautiously toward Robin.
He was worried that, in a desperate moment, Robin might take Hayley hostage.
Noticing Cyrus’s approach, Hayley turned and snapped, “Cyrus, what are you doing? “Robin saved my life. If you want to shoot him, you’ll have to go shoot me first! Cyrus paused. “Hayley, I’m just doing my duty. Don’t make this difficult, alright?
“Do you realize how dangerous this is? Get back here now.
“He just killed three people. He’s highly dangerous!”
Hayley scoffed. “Spare me the talk about ‘duty’! I looked into what’s really happening here before I came.”
She pointed toward the bodies scattered around the bar as she spoke.
“These people were all Terenova sc*m. You should have arrested them long ago, but you let them wreak havoc.
“Robin did what was needed-he protected Terenova from real threats.
“And yet, here you are, pointing your gun at him. I can’t tell if you’re serving justice or protecting these monsters!”
Cyrus knew all too well that Hayley was speaking the truth.
Adrian and his gang were nothing but monsters.
Under Demberoa law, these people should have faced justice long ago.
But as just a SWAT team captain, that was beyond his reach.
He could only follow orders.
Even though he despised Adrian and his gang, there was nothing he could do.
Faced with Hayley’s fierce words, Cyrus found himself speechless.
Seeing Cyrus hesitate under Hayley’s questioning, Anna spoke up, displeased. “Ms. Hayley, you’re the mayor’s daughter. You should uphold his dignity, not interfere with law enforcement! “Acting like this will only cause trouble for your father!”
Hayley raised an eyebrow. “And who do you think you are, to lecture me?
“My father’s never spoken to me like that. Go away!”
Anna’s face flushed bright red.
Cyrus had always been fond of Hayley, and Anna’s tone only added to his irritation.
He turned to Anna and said coldly, “Ms. Harlow, please don’t speak to Hayley like that. She’s not wrong!”
Anna was momentarily taken aback, then replied coldly, “Captain Patel, you’re executing the mayor’s orders to apprehend criminals. How can you allow irrelevant people to interfere with your duties?
“We, the Harlows, donate significant funds every year to support the City SWAT team and law enforcement agencies, hoping you’ll uphold the integrity of the law!
“Is this how you conduct official business? You’re wasting taxpayers’ money!
“If this continues, the Harlows will file a complaint with the city government’s ethics office!”
Cyrus frowned. “I never said I wouldn’t investigate the incident at Dreamscape Bar.
“I just haven’t fully investigated the details of the incident yet.
“So, I can’t determine who the criminals are.
“At this point, there are some unexpected circumstances the mayor’s daughter is still with a suspect.
“I have to ensure Ms. Hayley’s safety.
“What if I act recklessly and she gets hurt?
“Can you take responsibility if something happens to her?”
Anna glared at Cyrus in frustration.
Looking up at Robin, who was tightly held by Hayley, Anna felt a wave of unease.
She couldn’t understand how Robin knew the mayor’s daughter.
He’s Ms. Hayley’s savior?
“Is this what you call strength, Robin?” Anna’s voice dripping with disdain.
Robin smiled and replied, “I suppose it is. After all, it’s just what you referred to as connection, right?”
He gently pushed Hayley’s arm away. “You should go over there. This doesn’t concern you.”
Hayley tightened her grip on Robin. “No, Robin, I want to stay with you!”
Cyrus let out a sigh. “Hayley, come over here right now!
“Even if he saved you, he shot someone. I have to take him back and follow the proper legal procedures.
“Don’t worry. The city government will ensure everyone here receives a fair outcome.”
Hayley smiled coldly. “I don’t believe a word you say!
“If everything were as fair as you say, would we be in this situation today?
“The Grimwolf Crew are nothing but sc*m!”
“Every citizen in Terenova knows they’ve been trafficking drugs, forcing decent women into drug addiction and prostitution, extorting businesses for protection money, bullying the weak, and running rampant for years.
“Let me ask you this. Have you, in your uniform, truly enforced the law?”
Cyrus knew that Hayley was speaking the truth.
But as a SWAT team captain, he had no authority to question any of this.
He flushed and stammered, “Ms. Hayley, t-this isn’t within my scope of duties. I’m just here to carry out orders.”
Hayley let out a cold laugh. “Carrying out orders?”
“Hmph! Cyrus, I really look down on you. Ask yourself what kind of orders you’re following.”
Anna furrowed her brow and said
coldly, “Ms. Hayley, don’t forget that the Terenova city government is under your father’s administration.”
Hayley shot Anna a sidelong glance. “I don’t need your reminders!”
Turning back to Robin, she took his hand. “Robin, let’s go outside.”
“Wait!” Anna blocked Hayley’s path.
Hayley glared at Anna in frustration. “What right do you have to stop me? Move aside!”
Cyrus stepped forward. “Hayley, please stop this. I have to take y
he regardless of whether
friend
he’s guilty or not.”
SWO
Hayley nodded. “Alright, my dad will be here soon, and I’ll ask him directly what crime Robin is accused of.”
She pointed to the bodies on the ground. “These people are scum; the citizens of Terenova want them dead. “Their crimes deserve the death penalty!
“And yet, you sit idly by.
“Robin eliminates these threats for the people, yet you’re using the law as an excuse to arrest him!
“Cyrus, do you really believe you’re worthy of that uniform?
“Hmph! I have no respect for you!”
Cyrus flushed. “Hayley, please don’t say that. I-I have to follow orders!”
At that moment, a middle-aged man entered quickly, flanked by two bodyguards and a secretary.
“Mr. Douglas,” Cyrus immediately said, bowing respectfully.
The newcomer was none other than Douglas, the mayor of Terenova.
He glanced at the brutal scene in the bar and frowned slightly.
Anna smiled politely. “Hello, sir. I’m Anna Harlow.”
Douglas nodded. “Hello, Ms. Harlow.”
Hayley pulled Douglas over to Robin. “Dad, this is Robin. The one I told you about-the one who saved me on the plane.”

Chapter 275 Who Is the Murderer?
Douglas looked up at Robin and nodded slightly. “Hi, Mr. Ramsey!
“I heard Hayley mention you recently. Thank you for helping my daughter on the plane.”
Robin offered a faint smile. “Mr. Douglas, you’re too kind. It was just a small favor.”
Douglas gently patted his daughter’s arm, his eyes filled with warmth.

“Hayley’s mother passed away early, and I’ve been busy with work for most of the time, leaving me little opportunity to be with her.
“I’ve felt that I owe her too much over the years.
“Hayley has such an open and genuine personality. She rarely finds intelligent, sincere friends who can make her happy.
“She’s been quite lonely all these years, hardly socializing and rarely mentioning friends.
“But since returning home, she has continuously brought you up to me.
“This shows just how much she trusts and relies on you.
“Hayley has mentioned more than once that if you ever come to Terenova, I should make sure to give you a warm welcome.
“When I received Hayley’s call, I hurried over.”
At this point, Douglas realized that discussing such matters in the current setting was rather inappropriate.
He glanced around at the bloody scene in the bar, frowning.
“Mr. Douglas!” Cyrus approached, saluting. “Three members of the Grimwolf Crew were shot in the bar today.”
Robin said calmly, “Mr. Douglas, I killed them all.”
Cyrus paused for a moment, his expression was complicated as he looked at Robin.
Hayley quickly stepped forward to explain, “They deserved to die! Dad, they were all bad people! What Robin did was for the greater good.”
Douglas couldn’t hide a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.
He didn’t expect Robin to openly admit to killing Adrian and the others without any hesitation.
Douglas nodded instinctively, avoiding a direct conversation about the issue with Robin.
He caught a glimpse of Anna nearby and gestured toward Cyrus, the City SWAT team leader.
“Earlier on the road, I reviewed the information on these troublemakers.

“The few Grimwolf Crew leaders who were killed had been registered with the Department of Justice years
ago.
“The Department of Justice has previously recommended the arrest of these individuals, and I am instructing the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation!
“Recently, I reviewed the case files they submitted.
“For years, they have been involved in drug trafficking, smuggling, and organizing prostitution, all while aggressively disrupting the market.
“The city government is currently collaborating with the Department of Justice to formulate a plan to deal with them.
“I didn’t expect they would cause such a big problem,” Douglas remarked.
He wanted to remind Anna that the city government was already aware of the Grimwolf Crew’s numerous crimes and to advise the Harlows not to interfere in the matter.
This way, everyone could live in peace.
“Captain Patel, please take the bodies of these three suspects and all the Grimwolf Crew members in the bar back to the police station.
“Let’s wait for the City Department of Justice to conduct a further investigation into the Dreamscape Bar incident before drawing conclusions!”
Cyrus immediately ordered the SWAT team to remove the bodies of Adrian, Drew, and Matthew from the bar and prepare to take all members of the Grimwolf Crew into custody.
Anna stepped forward to intervene. “Mr. Douglas, this matter cannot be handled this way.”
Douglas replied coldly, “Ms. Harlow, this is a matter for the city government, and as the mayor, I know how to handle it appropriately.”
Anna pointed at Robin and the others. “They shot and killed people; are we just supposed to ignore that?” Douglas’s expression darkened. “Does the city government need you to teach us how to do our job?”
Anna glanced at Hayley and Robin, a cold smile playing on her lips. “Mr. Douglas, is this how you’re handling the situation simply because he’s your daughter’s friend?
“Are you prioritizing personal interests over duty?”
Douglas’s expression grew increasingly grim. “Who do you think you are to dictate how I handle things? Step aside!”
“Mr. Douglas, what’s causing you to lose your temper like this?” A middle–aged man stepped in from outside the bar.
“Dad!” Anna rushed to stand in front of the middle–aged man.
“Mr. Douglas is turning a blind eye to Robin, who shot and killed members of the Grimwolf Crew, while planning to take all the Grimwolf Crew members away

The man entering the bar was Nathan Harlow, the leader of the Harlow Group, a conglomerate in Terenova
Nathan placed a comforting hand on Anna’s shoulder and smiled. “Anna, you need to trust Mr. Douglas. He will handle this situation fairly.”
He turned to survey the bodies of Adrian and the others, exclaiming in disbelief, “Douglas, there’s been a murder here! You need to address this immediately. Who’s the murderer?
“I went to the city government to invite you to my home, but your secretary informed me you were here, so I decided to stop by.
“My two sons have returned.
“My eldest son is now serving as a deputy commander in the Central Army.
“My younger son is doing well too; I’ve heard he will soon be joining the president’s cabinet.
“They happened to return today, and I wanted to invite you over. I didn’t expect you to be dealing with
this situation.
“Douglas, please resolve this quickly.
“Once you’re done, we can all go back together. My two sons are waiting for you at home.”
Douglas sensed the underlying meaning in Nathan’s words.
It was clear Nathan was using the status and identity of his two sons to pressure
him.
Douglas was still weighing how to handle the situation,
Nathan continued, “Isn’t this our SWAT team captain, Cyrus? Hurry up and arrest the killer.
“Once this is settled, you can join us at my home for a discussion.”
Cyrus glanced at Douglas, who was deep in thought, and placed his hand on the gun at his waist.
At a single word from Douglas, Cyrus would swiftly move to arrest Robin and the others.
Hayley rushed in front of Robin, glaring at Nathan in anger, “Who do you think you are to demand my dad arrest Robin?
“The people who were killed were all members of the Grimwolf Crew.
“They’ve been causing trouble for far too long, and everyone in Terenova knows it. They should have faced justice long ago.
“Robin killed them; he did it to protect the public!
“The fact that you can say that shows you’re not a good person either!”
Before Hayley could finish her sentence, a middle–aged man with a fierce look behind Nathan slapped her delicate face.

Douglas was instantly furious. “How dare you! Who do you think you are?”
Cyrus instinctively reached for his gun.
Feigning surprised, Nathan asked, “Who is this young lady?”
Anna stepped forward. “Dad, this is Mr. Douglas’s daughter, Hayley.”
“Oh dear, it’s the mayor’s daughter! This is quite the misunderstanding!” Nathan shook his head, feigning regret.
“Hans, what were you thinking?
“How could you hit the mayor’s daughter? Come here and apologize to both the mayor and his daughter immediately!”

“Because of Hans’s chivalrous nature, Madam Stephanie has even praised him in the past
Douglas’s expression, once filled with anger, instantly shifted to one of shock
He didn’t know that Nathan’s butler was related to the Rogarios.
Nathan had brought Hans forward for this very reason
He wanted to make it clear to him.
If he confronted the Harlows while dealing with the Grimwolf Crew, he would soon realize that the Harlows possessed the power to crush him in any aspect, whether military, political, or underworld-
related.
Hans’s actions toward Hayley served as a stern warning to Douglas.
The situation had become undeniably clear.
If he didn’t deal with Robin, there was no way he would get through today.

For years, the Harlows had exploited the Grimwolf Crew for drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and extortion, amassing a fortune through their illicit activities.
With this wealth, they bribed officials and positioned both of Nathan’s sons within the military and political elite.
Despite his intention to eradicate the Grimwolf Crew since assuming the position of mayor of Terenova, the challenge remained.
However, he hesitated to take action.
He was concerned about angering more high–ranking officials and threatening their interests.
Not only would he fail to achieve his goals, but he might also find himself in an irreparable situation.
He intended to use this incident to quietly eliminate the Grimwolf Crew, but Nathan’s quick response complicated things.
Now, figuring out how to handle this situation was truly giving him a headache.
As Douglas continued to hesitate, Robin noticed the tears of injustice in Hayley’s eyes and took out a wet wipe to clean her up.
“Hayley, does it hurt?”
“It hurts, Robin,” Hayley cried even harder.
“Then I’ll make it right!” Then, Robin raised his hand and slapped Hans’s smug, round face.
The sound of the slap echoed sharply.
Hans’s powerful body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into several bodyguards that Nathan had brought with him.
The sturdy bodyguards barely had time to react before they were all sent tumbling to the ground.
This scene left everyone in the bar in shock.
Robin was well aware that Hans was the cousin of the deputy butler of Stephanie, Terenova’s Underground Queen.
Yet he still had the audacity to strike!
That ruthless Underground Queen was well–known for her fierce protéctiveness over those in her circle.
Any member of the Rogarios or anyone with even a slight connection to her, who experienced mistreatment and asked for her help, she would let her subordinates step in for them.
Robin’s actions were undeniably a challenge to the authority of the entire Rogarios and a blatant slap in the face to Terenova’s Underground Queen, Stephanie
At that moment, Douglas’s eyes reflected a mix of relief and concern.
He frowned, contemplating how to handle this difficult situation.

It was clear that Robin’s slap had escalated the situation
Cyrus, the captain of the City SWAT team, shot a startled glance at Robin.
In his cold gaze, there was a hint of admiration.

Though he didn’t know Robin well, what Robin had done today was exactly what he had always wanted to accomplish.
The Grimwolf Crew had been running rampant under the Harlows‘ protection, committing heinous acts that he could no longer tolerate.
But, due to his position, he couldn’t take such action.
Today, Robin impulsively killed Adrian and the others.
Then, in front of Nathan, he slapped Hans, the butler.
This thoroughly enraged the Harlows.
Cyrus was deeply concerned for Robin.
Robin was not only confronting the influential Harlow Group of Terenova, but he was also provoking the Rogarios.
Stephanie commanded such respect that even the president had to tread carefully around her.
Robin had struck her deputy butler’s cousin
At this stage, the situation became irreparable.
Cyrus glanced at Robin once more, his eyes reflecting a hint of regret.
He knew the Harlows would never let this slide.
Hans would also seek revenge against Robin.
And it was very likely that the Rogarios would also become involved.
If that occurred, no one would be able to save Robin.
Even if Hayley begged her father, Douglas, to step in, Douglas’s influence was still far from enough.
Not far away, Conrad maintained a blank expression.
He was prepared to team up with Robin, ready to go all out in a violent confrontation.
Robin got into such big trouble because of his sister’s situation.
If the Harlows dared to touch Robin, Conrad would resolutely take up the sword of revenge.
The Rogarios? The Harlows? Once the fight began, he would fight them to the death!
After a brief moment of shock, Anna scoffed, “Robin, I’m genuinely impressed!

Hayley’s cheers echoed through the deathly silent bar, sounding exceptionally piercing to the ears.
All eyes were on the sight, breaths held in disbelief.
Robin once again sent Hans flying with a slap.
This was a total humiliation for the Rogarios.
Douglas was left speechless, unsure of what to say next
The current situation was beyond his control.
Yet Cyrus’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
His respect for Robin had transformed into something deeper.
As Hayley had put it, it was an admiration.
It was a truly carefree life to be a man who can act without regard for the powerful, taking revenge on those he dislikes and enjoying life as he pleases, even when under immense pressure.
Anna was so angry that she laughed at Robin’s reckless violence.
“Ha, Robin, how am I supposed to commend you for this? Are you really going to dig your own grave?”
Robin responded with a cool smile, “Digging my grave? I don’t feel that way at all!
“I think it’s him, you, and your Harlows who have been digging your own graves all along!
“A bunch of ants daring to be arrogant! It’s ridiculous!”
Nathan finally shook off his shock.
In all his experiences, no one had ever dared to challenge his dignity like this.
Since taking over the Harlows‘ industries, how many people in Terenova, Demberoa, and even the entire Southeast Aurientia region dare to be so arrogant in front of the Harlows?
Yet here was Robin, brazenly disregarding him in front of so many people.
What was more shocking was that he not only ignored him, but also had the audacity to send Hans flying twice, fully aware that Hans was a relative of the Rogarios.
This was more than just a blatant slap in the face; it was a direct challenge to the Harlows.
It also showed that he looked down on the Rogarios!
“You’re too arrogant, kid!” Nathan shouted.
“Mr. Douglas, this man is completely out of control! Order your SWAT team to kill him!”

After collecting himself, Douglas replied, “Mr. Harlow, I cannot order our police officers to take innocent lives. This matter isn’t settled yet; I won’t disregard human life.”
Nathan was caught off guard.
He didn’t anticipate Douglas’s outright rejection.
“Are you suggesting that you’d prefer to let this murderer run free rather than side with us, the Harlows?”
After a moment of hesitation, Douglas sighed and said, “Mr. Harlow, as the mayor of Terenova City, I have my own protocols to follow in carrying out my duties, and they have nothing to do with you and the Harlows.
“I have no intention of provoking you; frankly, I lack the power to challenge the authority of the Harlows.
“But I am a public servant.
“I am following the directives of the Demberoa government, not yours.
“The laws of Demberoa strictly prohibit public officials from abusing their power to take innocent lives while carrying out their duties.
“I’m sorry, but I cannot comply with your request.”
Nathan trembled with rage. “You! Douglas, you will pay for your actions today!”
Douglas sighed, “I’m sorry, Mr. Harlow, but this is all I can do.”
“Fine, fine, fine! You’ll regret this!” Nathan fumed, pointing an accusing finger at Douglas.
He then turned to Cyrus. “Captain Patel, as a police officer, shouldn’t you be ordering your men to kill this thug?
“Shoot him! He’s extremely dangerous!”
Cyrus ignored him, replying coldly, “Mr. Harlow, you have no authority to command me. I only follow the mayor’s orders.”
Nathan was stunned. He didn’t anticipate Cyrus would respond this way.
This left Nathan feeling embarrassed.
Nathan said coldly, “Captain Patel, if you kill this thug right now, I can guarantee that you’ll be promoted to the Central Presidential Guard as a captain after this incident.”
Cyrus chuckled. “Mr. Harlow, I’m afraid I don’t have such grand aspirations.
I’m quite content being the captain of the Terenova City SWAT team.
“I will never use my gun to take innocent lives.”
Nathan let out a maniacal laugh. “Fine, fine, fine!

“Mr. Douglas is unwilling to kill this thug, and because this matter involves the Harlows, fil handle it my way. Please step aside!”
Douglas frowned, unsure how to prevent unnecessary bloodshed.
Though he remained silent, Douglas tacitly allowed Nathan to handle the situation this way,
Cyrus wanted to intervene but noticed Douglas with his eyes cast down, giving no instruction,
In Cyrus’s opinion, if the Harlows resorted to their underworld connections, Robin wouldn’t stand a
chance.
However, even now, there was no trace of fear on Robin’s face,
For a moment, he couldn’t get the extent of Robin’s background or connections
Nathan turned his gaze to Hans,
Hans understood the cue and shakily pointed at Robin, saying, “Kid, I hope you can withstand the wrath of the Harlows and the Rogarios”
Robin chuckled lightly, “Well, I hope you can bring something impressive to the table, so I might regard you with a bit more respect.”
“Hans, send a message for all our Harlow guards to assemble here! If possible…”
Hans understood immediately. “Understood, Mr. Harlow. I’ll contact my cousin.
He swiftly picked up his phone and called Lavín, the deputy butler of the Rogarios.
“Who is this?”
“Lavin, it’s me, Hans. I’m currently at the Dreamscape Bar.
“There’s a kid here who’s extremely arrogant. He not only hit me but also claimed that even if the entire Rogarios came, he wouldn’t care.”
After a burst of laughter on the other end, the call ended abruptly.
Hans glanced at Robin and said coldly, “Just wait, kid. If I don’t cut you into pieces today, you won’t know what it means to be untouchable!”
It was then that Hayley began to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
She trembled as she clutched Robin’s arm. “Robin, you need to get out of here quickly. If they come today…

Robin gently patted Hayley on the head. “Go to your father. I don’t want you getting involved in this.”

“My Harlow guards and the Rogarios are on their way, so you better think about how you want to meet your end!”
Brenda looked at Nathan’s twisted face, her voice trembling. “Robin, it seems like this has escalated way too seriously. We should run!”
Robin replied with a smile, “Run? Why would I run?”
Alison scoffed, “If you don’t run, you’ll just be waiting here to die.”
Robin pursed his lips. “That’s just your imagination.”
Alison sneered. “Being stubborn in this situation is pointless. No matter how strong you are, you can’t take on the whole world.
“Short–sighted,” Robin said, too lazy to explain further.
Vroom, vroom … The roar of motorcycles grew louder, eventually stopping abruptly in front of the Dreamscape Bar.
Moments later, hurried footsteps could be heard approaching from outside.
A burly, towering man with a dark complexion stormed into the Dreamscape Bar, flanked by dozens of intimidating bodyguards.
He marched up to Hans and shouted, “Hans, you useless fool!
“Tell me, which fool dared to challenge the Rogarios‘ authority? Doesn’t this idiot know you’re my cousin?”
Hans pointed at Robin, gritting his teeth. “Lavin, it’s that guy!”
“He not only shot Adrian, the leader of the Grimwolf Crew, Drew, and Matthew, but he also hit me.
“He had the audacity to say that he isn’t afraid, even if the Harlows and the Rogarios join forces!”
It was Lavin Sure, the deputy butler of the Rogarios.
Everyone held their breath, looking at this intimidating figure.

Lavin was the deputy butler of the Rogarios and the captain of their family’s security team, having once

Every job he took was flawlessly executed.

His commission fees once reached a staggering 30 million, the highest in the Southeast Aurientia region!
Three years ago, he began serving the Rogarios and became the captain of their security team.
He was truly a devil who killed without a second thought!
He came here personally for Hans and the Harlows.
Everyone in the bar knew that Robin was done for.
Anna snorted. “Robin, you’ll soon learn what consequences your arrogance will bring!”
Robin remained silent, smiling as he watched Lavin and the group of Rogarios‘ guards approach him step by step with interest.
As Lavin walked past Nathan, he nodded, “Mr. Harlow, good to see you.”
Nathan eagerly returned the nod, a mocking glint in his eyes as he glanced at Robin.
He knew this arrogant fool was as good as dead.
Without further ado, Lavin approached Robin directly
Hayley anxiously clutched Robin’s arm, trembling with fear.
Lavin sized up Robin and said, “Who do you think you are, acting so arrogant? Now tell me, do you want to die on your own, or should I do it for you?”
Robin instinctively waved his hand in front of his face. “Ugh, that stinks! Did you forget to brush your teeth, pig?”
Lavin was taken aback, confused by Robin’s audacity.
Then, his fury ignited. “Kid, you’re about to die, and you’re still acting so arrogant! Great, the ignorant are fearless!
“Now, if you apologize and beg for mercy, and cripple yourself, I might spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re cut into pieces right here today!”
“Is that so?” Robin flexed his neck, a sly smile tugging at his lips.
“Who gave you the audacity to act so brazenly in front of me?
“Is it Stephanie?
“Is that old woman tired of living?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he delivered a powerful slap to Lavin’s chubby, dark face.

Douglas also sensed something was up.
He glanced at Robin beneath the bar’s flickering lights.
In this situation, that calm and untroubled expression revealed no hint of panic or fear.
“Whoa!” Douglas exclaimed, astonished.
He remained as cool as a cucumber.
This kind of mentality was definitely not something that ordinary people could possess.

If he knew about them, how could he act so decisively, striking Lavin away without a moment’s hesitation?

He turned a piercing gaze toward his daughter, Hayley
He felt genuinely fortunate that Hayley had a unique connection with Robin.
If Robin truly was a mysterious figure of great influence…
His future will not be destroyed because of this.
Perhaps it could even lead to a great opportunity!
At that moment, Lavin, who had been knocked back by the slap, was helped to his feet by two bodyguards.
He never imagined he would be slapped by a mere kid, especially in front of so many people!
This was a humiliation he had never experienced in his decades–long career as a killer!
Those who had once dared to challenge him had long died under his blade.

But in the next moment, the gun mysteriously transformed into a pile of scattered, useless parts on the ground.
Robin stood before Lavin like a phantom, a half–smirk on his face. “You think you can point a gun at me and get away with it?”
Before Lavin could react, Robin grabbed his hair and smashed his head against the bar’s hard wall.
With a loud bang, the bar’s silence was shattered, echoing a chilling sound.
Lavin’s face was now smeared with blood.
The bodyguards who had come with him immediately prepared to fight Robin,
Lavin gasped for breath, “F*ck! Kid, y–you-”

Lavin’s face collided with the wall again.
Once, twice, three times…
Lavin no longer dared to speak, his eyes filled with terror.
He could feel that he had encountered a formidable opponent today!
Hans could hardly believe his eyes.
Not only had Robin beaten him, but he also dared to beat Lavin, the deputy butler of the Rogarios.

After several collisions, Robin finally tossed Lavin aside.
Pointing at the approaching thugs, he shouted, “Call that bastard Stephanie!”
The bodyguards were caught off guard.
Is this kid insane?

In their experience, they had never seen anyone so recklessly bold.
Yet Robin’s commanding presence made them freeze, their raised knives hanging in mid–air.

In that instant, Robin had a short gun in his hand, pressed firmly against Nathan’s head.
“K–Kid, let me go!” Nathan stammered, his face pale with fear.
Robin played with the gun. “Mr. Harlow, can you guess how big the blood splatter would be if I pulled the trigger?”
Nathan shot back, “If you dare to kill me, you’ll die here too!”
Anna quickly stepped forward. “Robin, let go of my father!”
“Let him go?” Robin pouted. “You heard him–he wants to kill me. Hehe, maybe I should just kill him!”

Nathan was so frightened he nearly lost control of himself.
Robin chuckled, “Oh, I forgot to mention–there’s no bullet in the gun.”
The bullets in his hands fell to the ground in front of Nathan.
Nathan was drenched in sweat.
In that instant, he genuinely believed he was about to be killed by this arrogant young man.
As he tried to regain his composure and stand, he found he couldn’t get up.

Chapter 280 Cut Him!
And he’s still so young!
What could the Harlows possibly have to dare challenge someone so powerful?

“Sir, this is my failure for not disciplining them properly! I will ensure you see a satisfactory outcome!”
After clearing the area, Stephanie immediately turned to Robin, lowering her head as she spoke.
This scene shocked everyone in the room!”
The aloof Underground Queen of Terenova was unprecedentedly apologizing to a young man!
In the distance, Alison caught a glimpse of the scene through the gaps in the wall of bodyguards, her jaw dropping in disbelief. “Is this real?”
She thought that Robin’s confidence came from knowing this woman would step in personally to handle the situation.
Yet, the reality before her was completely different.
It was /Stephanic, her butler Ryder, and the entire Rogarios entourage apologizing to Robin in front of everyone.
Their humble demeanor was far from what one would expect from an older woman in a relationship with him; it was like a servant to Robin instead.
Had she misjudged him?
Alison’s mind was a whirlwind of confusion as she struggled to understand the dynamics at play.
The situation before her was too bizarre and illogical!
Anna was dazed for quite a while.
The scene before her was beyond her comprehension.
Without giving it much thought, she quickly approached Stephanie but was halted six feet away by two Rogarios bodyguards.
Anna halted reluctantly and said from a distance. “Hello, Madam Stephanie. I’m Anna Harlow-”
“Who’s making noise? I didn’t tell you to speak. Get lost!” Stephanie replied coldly.
The two men in black immediately pushed Anna aside. “Step back now!”
Anna trembled in fear, her face flushed as she wanted to say more.
However, when she caught sight of her father’s expression, she immediately fell silent.
She wanted to help Nathan, who was still kneeling on the ground, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t lift him.
Furious, she glared at several of the Harlows‘ bodyguards. “Why aren’t you getting him up?”

The two bodyguards utruggled with all their strength, yet they couldn’t lift the overweight Nathan off the ground.
Seeing her father like that sent a chill down Anna’s spine as she remembered Robin’s earlier tactics.
At that moment, her mind was in chaos
She glanced up at Robin, standing like a king in the light, and felt dizzy.
Robin slowly turned to Lavin and Hans, who was still trembling with fear, and asked, “Is he your deputy
butler
“Yes, sir!” Stephanie answered with utmost respect.
Robin said flatly, “Your deputy steward, Lavin, just suggested that I apologize and cripple myself for a chance at mercy. What do you think, Stephanie?”
Hearing this, a fierce rage ignited in Stephanie’s eyes, intense enough to burn the entire bar to the ground.
Lavin, come here!”
Layin was at a loss, unsure of how the situation had escalated so dramatically.
“Madam, h–he hit my cousin Hans, and he arrogantly claimed that we Rogarios are nothing in his eyes, so
Before Lavin could finish, Stephanie slapped him hard across the face.
“He’s absolutely right! The Rogarios are nothing before him!
“You, an ant, dare to speak such outrageous words in front of him!
“You deserve to die, Lavin!”
Just as Stephanie finished her sentence …
Ryder didn’t give Lavín a chance to explain. He took out his gun and shot him in the forehead.
Lavín died without ever understanding why Stephanie would take such drastic action for the sake of a young man without asking any questions.
The entire bar was left in shock at the sight.
Hans was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground before Stephanie.
Stephanie glared at him, her expression dark. “So, you’re Hans?”
Hans was trembling on the ground as he responded, “Madam, I am Hans.”
With a snort, Stephanie said, “You use the name of the Rogarios to stir up trouble. How do you think I should punish you?”
Hans lay flat on the ground, begging, “Madam Stephanie, I’m just the butler for the Harlows. I was only following Mr. Harlow’s orders today-”

Before he conta fish his words, Nathan pleaded, “Madam Stephanie, please save me. It’s all because of
Tid i give you permission to speak? Stephanie snapped coldly.
Two of the bodyguards immediately stepped in front of Nathan
Froming, Nathan’s face twitched in frustration.
After a moment, he signaled for Anna to call her brother.
He knew that given the current situation, if he didn’t let his son, who was in the military, intervene, things ma non end well.
Stephanie shifted her focus back to Hans.
“Ryder, cut him to pieces.
He dared to act like a tyrant in the name of the Rogarios and offended Mr. Ramsey. One bullet is not enough to vent my anger. Cut him up!”
In an instant, four men swung their knives at Hans, unleashing a brutal attack.
In less than five minutes, Hans had been chopped into a pile of meat.
The gruesome scene sent chills down the spines of everyone in the bar.
This was the terrifying power of the Terenova’s Underground Queen!
With Hans turned into a pulp, Nathan trembled in fear, horrified by the sight.
It felt as if his own limbs were being chopped to pieces.
Stephanie turned to Robin and respectfully asked, “Sir, how should we deal with the Harlows?”
As he finished speaking, there was a sound of military combat leather boots hitting the ground in unison outside the door.
Twenty heavily armed soldiers marched into the bar with rifles in hand.
Nathan sneered at Robin. “Kid, even with the Rogarios backing you, I’m not afraid! You’re as good as dead!
A man with the rank of senior colonel quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to Nathan’s side. “Dad, what’s going on?”
Nathan pointed at Robin. “He did this to me. Kill him!
