At that moment, she completely forgot they were in the main hall of the film festival, surrounded by socialites and celebrities.
Oblivious the reporters interviewing her, she eagerly pushed through the crowd to reach him.
“Mr. Ramsey, you didn’t even let me know you were coming. I could’ve picked you up,” she said.
“I was just thinking about calling you to connect. And, oh, the tickets I gave you only cover the general area. Do you want me to help bring you in?”

Robin, on the other hand, was aware of Ivy’s feelings, but in his eyes, she was simply a fleeting acquaintance.
Without her presence, he might not even recall her. His life had been filled with women like Ivy.

As Ivy moved toward Robin with excitement, her admirers and a few fresh faces in the industry were puzzled and turned their gazes toward Robin
They were quick to notice that he showed no reaction to Ivy’s enthusiastic approach–his face remained impassive.
Ivy was one of the top stars in Southeast Aurientia, revered at this festival.
No other man had ever made her lose her composure like this.
Not far away, Amanda and Max witnessed the scene with surprise. “Does Ivy know Brenda and Robin?”
Amanda asked in disbelief, finding Robin’s transformation over seven years both intriguing and mystifying.
Wearing a long dress and crystal heels, Ivy hurried toward Robin, oblivious to the slippery floor beneath her.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and in her rush, she looked more like a starstruck fan than a celebrity herself.
Marrisa, observing Ivy’s expression, smirked with satisfaction.
She leaned over to Brenda and whispered, “Did you see that? Ivy is clearly into Robin. Let’s reveal it later!!
Brenda nodded in agreement.
Before Ivy could speak, Marrisa stepped forward, “Ms. Dickinson, we have something to ask you.”
Finally noticing Marrisa beside Robin, Ivy quickly apologized, “Hello, Marrisa, Brenda–I didn’t recognize you right away.”
Marrisa waved it off with a smile. “No problem. We just wanted to ask you something.”
Ivy’s nerves spiked. “What is it?” she asked.
Marrisa, biting back a grin, said bluntly, “Brenda and I want to know–when will you marry Robin?”
Ivy froze. Standing still, she stared at Robin with bright eyes, trembling with excitement.

Robin turned to Ivy with a faint smile as he shook his head toward Brenda and Marrisa.
“They’re just joking around. Don’t mind them, Ms. Dickinson,” he said lightly.
“Uh…” Ivy’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she found herself at a loss for words.
Marrisa quickly corrected, “We aren’t joking.

Robin gave her a serious look, still smiling, and reminded her, “Marrisa, this isn’t the time or place for such things.
Ms. Dickinson is the star of tonight’s film festival, so we have to be mindful of what we say. Paparazzi could use our words to harm her reputation.”
Startled, Marrisa instinctively covered her mouth. “Oh really?”
Brenda looked around nervously, recalling how some top stars were bound by strict rules, even forbidden. from dating during their contracts.
If rumors spread about Ivy, her career could be at risk.
She quickly chimed in, “Yes, Ivy, we were just joking.”
Feeling like she had overstepped, Marrisa lowered her gaze in silence, appearing like a child caught in a
mistake.
Ivy, meanwhile, felt a chill as her initial excitement faded.
Despite her disappointment, Ivy, a pro at handling such social moments, showed poise, managing a warm
smile.
She reassured them with a nod, “It’s fine–I appreciate how open you both are. Marrisa, Brenda, you both look stunning tonight.”
Marrisa and Brenda breathed a sigh of relief. “Robin picked this look for us.
“It’s from a Chanel store in the commercial area of the film city, and we did our hair there too.”
A flash of envy passed through Ivy’s eyes as she thought how nice it must be to have Robin’s support like
that.
Their simplicity and warmth put her at ease, and her awkwardness gradually faded.
Meanwhile, Alison followed Amanda and Max as they approached Lance, the scion of Vick Entertainment.
Max greeted him respectfully and eagerly, “Greetings, Mr. Lance.”

“Oh, Slark’s son, Lance acknowledged, his expression cooling slightly as he realized Max wasn’t from a top social circle. “How can I help you?”
As Lance spoke, his eyes drifted to Amanda and Alison standing next to Max.
To him, their looks seemed ordinary, especially when compared to the models and pageant winners around him, who were on an entirely different level.
Max, a bit jittery, gestured toward Alison and said, “Mr. Lance, my friend here was hoping to meet you, so I brought her along
With a lazy glance, Lance raised an eyebrow and addressed Alison, “You want to see me?”
At that moment, Alison felt a pang of regret.
It became clear that Max and Lance weren’t acquainted, and in the presence of someone às affluent as Lance, Max didn’t even seem to rate.
All his earlier talk now appeared to be mere bravado.
Despite feeling uneasy, Alison knew better than to show any disrespect. She replied politely, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lance.
I’m Alison Ferguson, a flight attendant with Southorn Airlines.
“I was invited by the festival organizers to attend this event.”
Trying to boost her status a bit, she added, “And, well… I’m also Ivy Dickinson’s friend.”
At first, Lance wasn’t interested in Alison.
But Ivy’s name caught his attention, and his gaze shifted slightly, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
“Ivy’s friend?” he asked, giving Alison a longer look.
While she didn’t possess the allure of the women he was used to, her genuine, slightly nervous manner. made her stand out intriguingly.
Recognizing Max’s intentions, Lance gave Alison a warm smile and took a moment to introduce her to several influential directors and producers nearby.
As someone new to this world, Alison was thrilled by the experience.
Surrounded by prominent investors and directors from Southeast Aurientia and the broader Aurientia film industry, Alison realized that connecting with any one of them could instantly open doors to stardom. Seeing those powerful and recognizable faces, Alison was nearly speechless with excitement.
After some small talk, Lance shrugged casually and said, “Ms. Alison, the film festival’s opening is about to start, so I won’t be able to chat longer.”

His expression turned distant as he awaited her answer, leaving Alison to sense his true meaning–it was clear he expected a trade–off if she wanted the fame and success she was after.

Alison felt a wave of anxiety after hearing Lance’s words.
She hadn’t anticipated that Max and Amanda had set up this introduction to Lance for a purpose like this.
Once filled with dreams for a better future, she thought meeting someone like Lance could elevate her life.
But as it turned out, Max’s introduction wouldn’t let her truly enter Lance’s world.
Instead, she was merely someone to entertain him for a single night.
Whether fame or influence would come of this was still unknown.
Lance, who surrounded himself with stunning women daily, would likely discard her the moment he got
bored.
That wasn’t the outcome Alison had envisioned.
She hesitated, thinking about leaving, but Amanda quickly moved to block her path.
“Ms. Ferguson, it’s not every day someone like Lance is within reach. Do you know how many women would jump at the chance to get close to him? If you leave now, you’ll never have this opportunity again.”
Max chimed in, “Ms. Ferguson, it’s rare for Lance to give a girl any attention. You have the potential to be promoted. Take your chance tonight!”
Near Lance, several influential directors and investors nodded in agreement, trying to stay on his good side.
Alfie Hersey, a famous director from Draconia, addressed Alison seriously, “Ms. Ferguson, the flight attendant from Southorn Airlines, right? Since we’re compatriots, I’ll be frank.
“People with a ‘poor‘ mindset think that friendship alone will get them where they want to go. They believe others will make them rich, successful, or famous simply out of goodwill.
“But that’s pure fantasy, the thinking of those who want something for nothing! In the real world. everything comes at a price. If you’re expecting any gain, you have to be willing to give something in
return.
“Do you think you can achieve fame and wealth instantly with your limited resources? Think again.

“If you aren’t willing to invest even a small amount of effort, what makes you think life will hand you anything?

it’s clear you don’t have what it takes to make it big”
Alison hesitated, stealing a glance at Lance’s impassive expression.

At that moment, the impressive figures in front of her, whom she once admired, seemed as menacing as cunning schemers.
The respect she’d held for them vanished, leaving her trembling with the urge to escape to Robin’s side, where she felt safest. But Amanda grabbed her arm.
“Alison, Mr. Hersey is right. Don’t waste everyone’s time. Before you make choices, take a good, hard look at yourself!
“Fame and success don’t come without effort. Mr. Lance has plenty of socialites and beauties around him -what do you offer in comparison? When you figure it out, none of this will matter.
“How many lifetimes do you get? If you pass through this one unnoticed, without making a mark, what’s the point?
“Living like that would be worse than death! Right now you’ve got an amazing opportunity before you, but you’re holding back over trivial things.
“Who do you think you are? One night with Mr. Lance, and you could gain overnight fame. Why not take your chance?”
The group around her continued, pushing their twisted arguments relentlessly. Alison’s conflicted mind began to falter.
After considering it, she wondered if risking it all for her ambitions might be better than living in obscurity.
Still, success wasn’t guaranteed, and no one could promise her it would work out,
Lance watched the uncertainty flicker across Alison’s face, growing more intrigued.
It was obvious that she was inexperienced in the realms of wealth and influence, still somewhat naive.
Deciding he wanted to spend more time with her, he asked, “Alison, I just heard you mention you’re Ivy’s friend, right?”
Caught off guard, Alison nodded nervously. “Y–yes,”
“Where is Ms. Dickinson now?” Lance asked, stepping closer.
Before Alison could answer, a burst of laughter echoed from the left, catching Lance’s attention.
He looked over, his eyes lighting up as he saw Ivy laughing with Brenda, Marisa, and others.
Her smile was like a blossom in springtime, and for the first time, he saw her genuinely happy.
Lance had admired Ivy from a distance, but she always maintained her distance, protected by the powerful Luminous Studio.

How would Ivy even recognize her a mere light attendant?
Alison had lied, hoping to impress, not expecting to run into Ivy so soon.
After a few steps, Lance suddenly paused, noticing a man sitting beside Ivy.
While joking, she kept stealing glances at him, her gaze filled with admiration.
As an experienced player in the dating world, Lance knew at a glance that Ivy was interested in that man.
“Who’s the guy with Ivy?” Lance’s expression darkened, anger flickering in his eyes.
He’d pursued Ivy for nearly three years, sparing no effort, yet he could never get close to her.
She’d always kept him at a distance, never accepting an invitation for dinner or anything more,
But now, here she was, laughing and chatting intimately with another man.
Lance was furious to see that.
His companions–the investors and directors–watched Robin from afar, shaking their heads. “Mr. Lance, we don’t know him. He appears to be from Draconia.”
“No one like him is among Draconia’s top billionaires or elite circles, from what I know,” one of them added.
“I haven’t seen him in the entertainment industry either.” another person said.
Alison wanted to reveal that Robin was the person who had ruined the Harlows, but the words caught in her throat.
Demberoa’s high–ranking officials had made it clear that Dreamscape Bar’s details weren’t to be shared. casually.
Amanda stepped forward, eager to please. “Mr. Lance, I know him! He’s Robin Ramsey, a former stray. taken in by my neighbor.
“My neighbor owns a soup restaurant, and the mother–daughter pair with lvy afe the owners. The mother’s name is Marrisa, and the daughter’s name is Brenda.”
She continued, “Seven years ago, a poor, destitute stray showed up at Marrisa Soup Kitchen. That was Robin
“Robin. Marrisa took him in, and he even worked as a waiter at Dreamscape Bar for two years. Then, he vanished, only resurfacing yesterday. Just a low–class nobody.”
Lance laughed at Amanda’s statement.
If Robin was a low–life, then there was nothing to worry about.

Perhaps Ivy, grown tired of fame, was simply amusing herself by talking to someone beneath her social
rank.
With a confident smirk, Lance approached Ivy from behind.
“Ms. Dickinson, you should’ve told me you were here. Let me take you to the VIP room backstage.”
Ivy, Brenda, and Marrisa were enjoying their conversation, laughing with abandon, when suddenly, someone called Ivy from behind.
Turning around, they saw a crowd of well–known directors and entertainment moguls standing behind
Lance.
Momentarily surprised, Ivy stood up and politely nodded. “Hello. Uh, Mr. Lance, did you need something?”
Lance wanted to grab Ivy’s arm, prompting her to move instinctively closer to Robin.
A flicker of irritation appeared in Lance’s expression.
“Ms. Dickinson, you’re the top candidate for tonight’s Best Actress Award. Congratulations in advance. Come, let me take you for a drink in the VIP room.”
Ivy smiled, shaking her head. “Thank you, but I’ll pass. I’m enjoying the company of my friends right now, You go ahead.
With that, she turned back to her conversation with Brenda and Marrisa.
Brenda, unfamiliar with the newcomers, continued her story, “When Robin first came to our restaurant, I thought he was a refugee.
“He stood at the door, staring at me and Marrisa.
“When we asked if he was hungry, he just stood there, then suddenly collapsed.
“It turned out he was starving. He didn’t even have the strength to speak!”
Ivy laughed so hard she shook, sneaking glances at Robin, who was busy on his phone.
“Isn’t that right, Robin?” Brenda leaned playfully on Robin’s shoulder, giggling.
Robin shook his head. “You’re so dramatic
Meanwhile, Lance’s eyes caught on Brenda’s pure, elegant appearance, her white dress giving her a look like she’d stepped out of a fairytale.
“Ms. Dickinson, this place is rather noisy. How about you and your friend come with me to the VIP room?”
Brenda shot him an annoyed look. “Didn’t you hear Ivy She’s not interested, so quit bothering her! Get out of here! VIP room, seriously? Ugh, nó thanks!”
As Lance’s assistants began to approach, he waved them off, his heart oddly charmed by Brenda’s temper.
An idea sparked in his mind–he suddenly felt the urge to bring her back to his villa.

Lance’s smile froze slightly as he forced a polite grin. “Ms. Dickinson, I just don’t see the appeal of spending time with a few penniless folks.”
Robin shut off his phone with an annoyed look. “She said she’s not going. Won’t you feel ashamed to keep pestering her? Get lost!”

Robin’s words stunned everyone nearby.
Lance was not only the heir of the powerful family but also the future leader of the top film company in Southeast Aurientia, and they were at the Vicks film festival.
Had Robin just told Lance to get lost? Was he insane or just completely fearles
After a brief shock, two of Lance’s assistants stepped forward, their anger ready to explode on behalf of
their boss.
However, Lance held up a hand to stop them. “It’s fine. I won’t stoop to the level of a low–class person like him.
“He’s clearly not familiar with our social standards. I won’t lower myself to engage with his vulgar
The other high–society investors and directors around them visibly relaxed, nodding in agreement with
Lance.
It was evident, however, that Lance was annoyed. But in front of Ivy, he was playing the role of the gentleman.
Watching from nearby, Alison noticed Robin’s action and her interest in him only grew stronger
Deep down, she admired men like him–bold, unflinching, and never one to seek favor.
Although Robin had immense power, he never flaunted it.
Lance might think Robin was an ignorant and weak nobody, but he was gravely mistaken.
Only Alison and Brenda knew what had happened at Dreamscape Bar last night.
While Vick Entertainment was a major player in Southeast Aurientia’s film industry, it was no match for the influential Harlow Group, which wielded power across politics, the military, and even the underground.
Robin had single–handedly dismantled the Harlow Group.
Lance’s family business, a newcomer with shallow roots, was nothing in comparison.
Lance thought he was untouchable, but he had no idea how insignificant he truly was compared to Robin
If he continued to stir up trouble, tonight’s festival could end up as chaotic as the events at Dreamscape Bar last night.
Ivy sighed, remembering her first meeting with Robin in Draconia.
She had been struck by the respect shown to him by Leonardo and Luminous Studio’s shareholders. making her realize just how powerful he was.
Some people, relying on their family status, liked to flaunt their influence without considering the consequences.

Before she could speak, though, Alfie, a prominent Draconia director, stepped up. Sensing Lance’s irritation, he decided to criticize Robin to win favor.
“Young man,” he began. “Mr. Lance graciously wants to help your friend break into the entertainment industry and give her a real chance at success. But you’re showing such disrespect–it’s truly appalling!
“You may not realize what a rare honor it is to catch Mr. Lance’s attention. For people of your background, such an opportunity is a real privilege-
At that moment, Robin struck Alfie squarely across the face, and the hefty director stumbled back, teeth scattering as he fell.
Everyone stared in shock as Robin calmly wiped his hand with a towel
“People like you have no right to insult me,” he said.
Ivy shook her head. The confrontation she feared had finally erupted.
In the stunned silence, Amanda rushed forward, scolding Robin furiously. “Are you out of your mind, Robin? How dare you hit Mr. Hersey?”
His actions left everyone in disbelief. Resorting to a physical confrontation in such a formal setting was unheard of.
In high society, matters were expected to be settled discreetly, regardless of personal tensions.
Robin’s slap had crossed a line as Alfie was Lance’s guest. Hitting him was, in effect, a direct insult to Lance.
Lance’s polite smile instantly vanished, replaced by a steely glare.
Just as Ivy was about to intervene, Lance pointed at Robin, his voice icy. “Just because I held back earlier doesn’t mean you can act however you like here. By hitting someone, you’ve crossed the line.
“Who brought an uncivilized person like you into Dome?”
Ivy quickly responded, “Mr. Lance, please calm down. I was the one who invited Robin and Brenda
Lance frowned. “How did they get in with tickets for the general area?”
Not far away, Annie, who had seen the altercation, noticed Robin with a spark of admiration in her eyes.
This guy is indeed special!
She quickly walked over and said, “Mr. Lance, I was the one who let them inside. We’re all friends here, so let’s not escalate things. Can’t we just drop it?”
“Drop it?” Lance’s expression darkened. “Annie, explain to me how you suggest we handle the matter of Mr. Hersey being struck.”

Annie could tell that Ivy wasn’t worried about any backlash Robin might face. Rather, she seemed resigned
to the turn of events.
Smiling, Annie looked up at Lance and said, “Mr. Lance since tonight’s event is on your family’s grounds. why not handle this issue peacefully?
“Hmph!” Lance sneered. “Ivy, this mess was caused by the people you brought along. What’s your plan to handle it?”
He intended to use this incident to put pressure on Ivy.
She shook her head. “Mr. Lance, as the future head of Vick Entertainment, I hope you’ll handle this carefully. Who knows what could happen in the end?”
Lance looked startled, clearly not expecting Ivy to speak up that way.
He scoffed. “Carefully? Ivy, tell me, what exactly should I be careful about?”
His gaze moved to Robin, filled with a chilling intensity that made the crowd tense up..
Marrisa had never witnessed anything like it. She trembled a bit as she tugged at Robin, whispering. “Robin, let’s just go. You’ve already stirred up enough trouble here.”
Robin pulled her close, feeling her nervous shivers. He had almost forgotten she was there when he made his move.
If he hadn’t, he would’ve slapped Lance.
He patted her shoulder, reassuring her, “Don’t worry. I’ve faced worse. You forget I used to deal with gangsters–those thugs backed down after a few rounds, and these guys are no different,”
Brenda nodded confidently. “Marrisa, don’t worry. With Robin here, no one will dare mess with us.
The scene had gone silent, with everyone overhearing Robin’s and Marrisa’s exchange.
They glanced at each other, wondering if those people were truly idiots.
Did Robin actually believe Lance was no different from gangsters?
Amanda, cager to curry favor with Lance, stepped forward. “Robin, you hit Mr. Hersey and made a scene. Do you think you’ll get away with it?
Robin, Brenda, if you plan on leaving here unscathed, you’d better bow to Mr. Lance and beg his forgiveness!”

“Would that be acceptable to you, Mr. Lance?” she asked hopefully.

Then, turning to Lance, she added, “I meant we could tone things down and make this a minor issue-
“Tone it down?” Lance scoffed. “Robin attacked my guest on my turf, and you think I should just let it slide:
“Ivy, what do you mean? If I let this guy off, how can my family hold any influence?”
He gestured at Amanda. “You’re right. They should both beg for my forgiveness. But one more thing- Brenda must spend the night with me.
“If she can satisfy me, I might consider overlooking this
Ivy was shocked. She hadn’t expected Lance to be so shameless. She knew that things wouldn’t end peacefully tonight.
Seeing Lance approve, Amanda leaped at the chance to push Brenda. “Brenda, you’re lucky Mr. Lance’s interested in you. Hurry up and make Robin come over and beg him!”
Brenda’s anger flared as she shouted back, “He’s nothing but a beast!
“Amanda, if you’re eager to be with such a creep, then go sleep with him! Your family will be ashamed!”
Marrisa’s initial fear vanished in her outrage. “Amanda, if you want to be with a guy like him, then go! Brenda has more self–respect!”
Lance’s face turned livid.
Brenda and Marrisa actually insulted him in public.
Amanda was equally taken aback, stunned that Brenda and Marrisa would openly call her out and insult
Lance.
Amanda lunged toward Brenda and was about to slap her, but Robin caught her wrist.
“How dare you want to hit Brenda! Are you asking for trouble?”
He grabbed Amanda’s hair and smashed her face down onto the table.
With a muffled sound, her heavily made–up cheek contorted, and she collapsed onto the floor. unconscious.
The scene was filled with gasps.
Annie took in the scene, nearly cheering aloud.
Wow, this guy is incredibly bold!

Lance, meanwhile, hadn’t expected Robin to retaliate so fiercely, each time more audaciously than before
It felt like a public slap in his face.
To put it simply, Robin didn’t even acknowledge him as a threat.
Lance’s gaze hardened as he watched Robin calmly wipe his hands clean, and he shouted in anger. “You’re far too presumptuous!”
Robin’s mouth twitched. “Presumptuous? Say one more word, and I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Here he was, a man from the bottom rungs of society, challenging Lance from the Vicks in their territory during a film festival they hosted.
The audacity was almost beyond belief.
People began to exchange glances, some shocked, others looking at Robin as if he’d lost his mind.
The Vicks‘ rise to power across Southeast Aurientia was rooted not only in wealth and influence but, rumor had it, backed by the dangerous Poison King Sect.
For someone of Robin’s standing to provoke Lance so openly–the consequences seemed obvious.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lance chuckled rather than fuming. “You’re like someone with nothing to lose, fearless in your ignorance.
“There are always fools like you.”
Then, his expression darkened. “You’re in a society with laws. A simple threat like that could land you behind bars, where you wouldn’t even know how you died.”
Lance and his companions burst out laughing, glancing at Robin with sneers and shaking heads.
They looked at Robin with pity, each face filled with mockery.
Those around Lance went even further, some of the women beside him laughing flirtatiously, planting kisses on his cheek as if celebrating his power.
Lance, the heir of the leading family, could easily get rid of the poor with only a word.
Taking down Robin was as easy as squashing an ant. The uneven power dynamic made the celebrities in attendance chuckle.
“Oh, I recall a loser named Nathan who said something like that last night, Robin said nonchalantly while wiping his hands with a wet towel.
“In the end, the Harlow Group went under, and Nathan ended up jumping off a building.”
The scene fell silent.
Everyone instinctively turned their attention to Robin, who was still wiping his hands.
Did he just call the Harlow Group a loser? His words implied that he was behind the company’s downfall!
The investors and directors, who had just been mocking Robin, suddenly fell silent. They now wondered if they should distance themselves from Lance.
If Robin was indeed the mysterious figure who had taken down the Harlow Group, mocking him. alongside Lance would be a terrible mistake.

Annie gasped in disbelief. She had suspected that Robin came from a powerful family, but she never imagined he was the enigmatic young man everyone had been discussing-
Ivy was stunned.
She had just arrived in Terenova last night and heard rumors that one of the top five wealthy families in Demberoa, the Harlows, had encountered trouble.
There were rumors that a mysterious individual was behind their downfall.
At that time, Ivy never connected those rumors to Robin. If someone else had claimed it, she might have doubted it. But coming from Robin, it had to be true!
Ivy watched Robin closely, noting his calm demeanor as if he were discussing something insignificant.
To him, destroying the Harlows, a massive company, seemed as simple as sneezing.
Alison also observed Robin with a mix of emotions. She had witnessed the dramatic scene at Dreamscape Bar the night before, and it had been too shocking.
Compared to the Harlows, Lance seemed nothing.
After a moment of confusion, Lance sneered. “You’re quite the arrogant one! Do you really think pretending to be a big shot will scare me?
“You fool! If you’re looking for trouble, I’ll give you what you want!”
The socialites and beauties present finally snapped out of their shock. Their mocking looks directed at Robin grew even more intense.
How could someone powerful enough to bring down the Harlows be here? The ticket he held was just a basic one for the general viewing area, given to him by Ivy.
They might have believed him if it weren’t for Lance’s words.
Alfie got up from the ground, angrily pointing at Robin “Mr. Lance, this shameless guy needs to be taught a lesson! He should know who he can’t mess with!”
“Let’s see if you can take me on!” Robin retorted, grabbing Alfie by the collar and punching his face.
Alfie was tossed into the air, landing hard in front of Lance.
“You’re asking for trouble!” Lance shouted, his face filled with rage as he waved.
Forty security guards from the film city surrounded them, wielding electric batons.
Marrisa looked terrified at the group of men, jumping to Robin and Brenda.
Robin was momentarily stunned as he saw Marrisa spreading her arms to shield him and Brenda, then he chuckled.
“Robin, take Brenda and run!” she urged. Then she yelled at Lance. “Who dares to touch Robin and Brenda? I’ll fight him!”

Robin patted Marrisa’s shoulder and smiled. “You’re brave, Marrisa.”
She anxiously said, “Don’t stand still! Take Brenda and run!”

Robin smiled softly. “How could Brenda and I leave you behind? After we sort this out, we’ll all leave together.”
“Leave?” Lance snorted. “You’ve caused a huge mess here, and you think you can just walk away?”
Chapter 308 The Poor’s Courage Comes From Ignorance
Chapter 308 The Poor’s Courage Comes From Ignorance
Lance’s words were clear.
He meant Robin, Brenda, and Marrisa wouldn’t leave unscathed.
By crossing Lance and interrupting the Vicks‘ event, they wouldn’t be able to escape without suffering serious consequences.
In the end, they were only lowly losers. They didn’t understand how the upper class operated.
Although those powerful figures might appear gentle and accommodating, their true colors were ruthless predators.
Without a bit of cruelty, they couldn’t survive in the world of fame and wealth. For them, eliminating someone of low status was as easy as squashing a bug.
Lance intended to have the Vicks bodyguards seize Robin, Brenda, and Marrisa and take them to the back for punishment.
Ivy stepped forward and said, “Lance, do you really want to escalate this situation? It would be better to settle this peacefully, or else-
Before she could finish, Lance cut her off angrily, “Ivy, just because you’re a popular star at Luminous Studio doesn’t give you the right to interfere in my business!
“Even if he’s your friend, it doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate his behavior on my territory!”
Ivy replied coldly, “Mr. Lance, you started this whole mess.”
Lance laughed. “Ivy, are you seriously trying to reason with me? Here, I decide what’s right!”
“Take this thug to the back!” he commanded.
“Mr. Lance, why make such a fuss? This isn’t a big deal!” Annie’s playful laughter caught everyone’s
attention.
She had been watching Robin’s reactions throughout the chaos. He had stayed completely calm, even when he slapped Alfie and attacked Amanda without a second thought.
Despite Lance’s threats and pressure, Robin remained unfazed as if the situation had nothing to do with
him.
Ivy even went so far as to offend Lance to protect Robin, showing how strong Robin’s mentality was.
Annie was increasingly convinced that Robin was the one responsible for the downfall of the Harlows.
Clearly, she was there to stir up trouble. She was curious to see how Robin would deal with Lance’s
aggression.
If Lance ended up in Robin’s grip tonight, she wouldn’t hesitate to throw herself at him!
“Shut up, Annie!” Lance said coldly.

The Vicks‘ bodyguards were ready to act. As soon as Lance gave the order, they would rush to Robin and the others, dragging them away for a beating.
Marrisa was extremely anxious, urging Robin and Brenda to leave quickly.
Brenda held Marrisa’s hand tightly, instinctively finding Lance’s threats ridiculous.
She had seen what happened at the Dreamscape Bar last night.
Robin had dared to shoot Adrian, Drew, and others in front of Grimwolf Crew’s fierce henchmen,
The trash before her was nothing compared to those ruthless gang members.
“Marrisa, don’t worry. Robin isn’t scared of him!” Brenda said.
“He’s just trash who’s arrogant because of his father’s wealth. What gives him the right to provoke Robin!”
Brenda’s words rang out loudly in the grand hall. Lance and the other celebrities were stunned.
They looked at Brenda’s beautiful face and figure under the bright lights, her eyes untainted by the world’s darkness, and couldn’t help but shake their heads and chuckle.
The invincible in this world wasn’t only fearless but also incredibly innocent!
Lance laughed and told the big shots of the entertainment industry around him, “The courage of the poor comes from ignorance–how true that is!”
He then signaled Amour, the captain of the bodyguard team.
Max quickly stepped forward to flatter, “Mr. Lance, wait a moment.”
Lance frowned and asked, “What do you want? Are you trying to tell me to calm down?”
Max shook his head eagerly. “No! What I mean is, why let your men handle this?”
“What do you mean?” Lance glared at him..
Max approached and said, “Isn’t the security for this film festival handled by the city’s SWAT team?
Lance raised an eyebrow. “So what?”
“Why use the Vicks‘ security forces to deal with these beggars?
“They caused trouble at the Terenova Film Festival, so the SWAT team should be responsible for handling
- it.
“What I’m suggesting is to use official means to arrest these people first! And then…”
Max made a gesture that implied he meant to eliminate them.
Lance thought for a moment before smiling.

“Alright, let’s do as you said!” Lance signaled Amour. “Go tell Captain Patel to bring in the SWAT team to take these troublema

Ivy was caught off guard when Lance called on the city SWAT team to deal with Robin.

She had seen Robin’s strength in the underground before, but standing up to the official forces of the Demberna government was a different story.
They were in the Vicks‘ territory, and the government had long been under their influence.
Ivy hesitated whether she should inform Leonardo in case Robin needed backup.
Annie watched Robin from the corner of her eye, eager to see his reaction if the Terenova SWAT gor involved.
Two minutes later, 30 heavily armed officers marched in, taking formation in the hall’s center.
Lance and his group quickly approached them. “Captain Patel, thank you for overseeing this festival’s security. We feel reassured with you here.
“However, there’s been a slight incident–a few thugs used underhanded means to sneak in, assaulted Mr. Hersey, and badly injured our actress Amanda. Please handle them.”
Meanwhile, Max stood in front of Robin and Brenda, taunting, “Brenda, I wanted to introduce you to Mr. Lance, but you’ve shown no respect.
“If you regret it, I might still help you plead with him–as long as you agree to visit his villa tonight-
*Suddenly, a loud smack echoed through the hall as Robin slapped Max, sending him sprawling in front of
Lance
“You trash! If you dare to be arrogant again, I’ll crush your”
Robin’s swift action left everyone in shock, especially Annie, who couldn’t hide her excitement.
This man doesn’t disappoint me!
Only a real big shot dared to openly take action in front of the SWAT team.
Ivy watched, initially tense but then relieved. She knew Robin wasn’t the type to act without a reason, so his confidence must mean he had a solid plan.
Glancing at Lance with a smirk, she thought he was about to make a fool of himself.
Lance, stunned, observed Robin’s move, then laughed and shrugged at the directors beside him. “This guy is hopelessly defiant.”
He then turned to Cyrus. ‘Captain Patel, just look at his attitude. Do something to him.”
All eyes turned to Robin, who stood calmly under the bright lights, wiping his hands as if swatting a bug.
“Is he crazy!”
“Provoking the SWAT team right in front of them–he’s out of his mind!”

“He’ll get what he deserves.”
“He probably has never suffered a loss!”
“He clearly doesn’t know who he’s dealing with!”
For years, the Vicks had built strong ties in Terenova, especially with the mayor, Douglas, and hosting the Terenova Film Festival was a way to further boost the mayor’s influence,
Of course, the SWAT team was here to ensure order. But now, Robin had openly confronted Max as if challenging their authority.
They believed Cyrus wouldn’t let it slide.
In everyone’s opinion, Robin was doomed today.
With his face swelling, Max yelled, “Captain Patel, did you see that? This thug is way out of line! He needs serious punishment!”
Anticipation hung in the air as the crowd waited for the SWAT to react.
Everyone expected to see Robin quickly subdued by the officers. Yet, the 30 SWAT members remained still, standing in the center of the hall.
Cyrus looked at the calm Robin and said indifferently, “Mr. Lance, I can’t arrest him.”
“What?” Lance and the other celebrities were in disbelief.
“Captain Patel, what did you say?”
Cyrus repeated coldly, “I can’t arrest him!”
“Why?” Lance asked in confusion.
The celebrities and big shots were also confused.
Robin had just caused a commotion, challenging both Lance and the SWAT, yet Cyrus refused to act
What was going on?
Lance chuckled. “Captain Patel, don’t you have a responsibility to keep this event secure?
“He caused a disturbance. It’s your duty to arrest him, isn’t it?”
Cyrus said expressionlessly. “It’s none of your business I only follow orders from the government!”
Lance shrugged and smiled. “Alright, if that’s the procedure, I’ll make a quick call to my father and have Mr. Douglas give you a direct command.”

Cyrus had firmly declined to act against Robin, saying he’d only follow the government’s orders, leaving a lot unsaid
They glanced at Robin, feeling a shiver.
In this tense moment, while most people would be terrified and confused, Robin stood there calm and composed. It was a level of poise few from humble backgrounds could achieve.

When the SWAT team entered Dome’s main hall, Robin boldly struck Max, showing not just bravado, but a steady confidence in his control over the situation.
His actions were more than just a rebuke to Lance–they were a clear message to Cyrus, the SWAT captain.
Cyrus, on his part, looked at Robin with something like reverence.
Those big shots couldn’t help but feel unease.
Despite their social savvy, they felt nervous about choosing sides. They realized a misstep here could mean the end of their careers or worse.
Annie, who stood by Robin, couldn’t help but smile at her sharp judgment.
She looked at him again with admiration.
Robin was exceptional, that much was clear. Though he didn’t flaunt his power, he possessed a strength few dared to challenge.
Annie noticed that if anyone threatened Brenda or Marrisa, Robin wouldn’t hesitate to defend them.
His bold confidence was electrifying, and she silently resolved to secure a place in his world, knowing the value of a powerful ally in the entertainment industry.
Watching from a distance, Alison could only manage a bitter smile. She couldn’t help but feel ashamed, recalling the underhanded moves she’d made previously.
As she looked at Robin next to Brenda, a wave of envy washed over her.
Brenda’s innocence and honesty left Alison feeling ashamed.
She, who once thought herself so clever, realized she had been nothing but a foolish joke.

In her mind, she replayed the downfall of the Harlows from the previous day, feeling that if Lance didn’t stop, his family would be next.
Cyrus‘ attitude made it unmistakable–Robin was untouchable, and even the mayor, Douglas, wouldn’t be able to interfere.
Yet, Lance, oblivious to these undercurrents, believed his father’s arrival would change everything.
Little did he know that even with Penn and Douglas there, it wouldn’t make a difference.
Arrogance only led to ruin.
Lance quickly called his father. “Dad, where are you?” he asked urgently.
There’s a situation here. I wanted Captain Patel to take action, but he said he needs Mr. Douglas” approval
Penn chuckled on the other end. “Don’t waste Captain Patel’s time on this. I’ll be there shortly, and Mr. Douglas is with me.
For now, get our security to hold him. We’ll settle this afterward.”
“Alright.” Lance glanced back at Cyrus, who remained expressionless.
“Captain Patel, I’ll have them restrained for now. Once Mr. Douglas arrives, you can take over. Amour, restrain that guy!”
Following Lance’s orders, 40 of the Vicks‘ guards moved in to encircle Robin, Brenda, and the others.
Just then, Cyrus commanded coldly, “Action!”
Thirty SWAT officers immediately raised their weapons, aiming directly at the Vicks guards. A shocked silence fell over the hall as everyone processed the scene.
What was going on?
In the quiet hall, Cyrus‘ icy voice cut through the silence. “Anyone who steps forward will be shot on the spot!”
Lance’s jaw dropped in shock, struggling to comprehend the situation.
Others were equally bewildered.
“What’s happening here?” someone whispered in confusion.
“Isn’t the SWAT team supposed to help keep things under control for the festival? Why are they aiming their guns at the Vicks‘ security?”
“If you didn’t know better, you’d think these were Robin’s people,” murmured another..
Still, at a loss, Lance finally asked, “Captain Patel, what do you mean?”
