Henry’s expression turned grave. “Clement, your son isn’t just insulting Mr. Ramsey; he’s insulting the entire Wright family!
“Mr. Ramsey is a cherished guest of the Wrights and my father’s savior. How can he dare to speak to him that way? Is this how you raise a son?”
Finally snapping back to reality, Clement bowed. “Mr. Henry, Mr. Martin, this ungrateful child has lost his senses! I’ll take him home and ensure he learns a proper lesson!”
“I will

Martin, both furious and somewhat amused, replied with a bitter smile, “Clement! I won’t forget this incident involving the Ortegas. Now get lost….
Initially, he wished to dismiss such filth and cut ties with both Clement and Ashley altogether.
But suddenly, Ashley jumped up again, pointing at Robin and continuing his rant. “Mr. Min. Mr. Henry, are you really saying that this pathetic man is your guest?

“If word spreads that a boy toy who exploits wealthy old women is considered a guest of Wrights, won’t that be a complete joke?”
Clement nearly fell over in disbelief.
This brat is directly insulting the Wrights! The Ortegas are doomed!

My son is a complete disaster, an utter embarrassment!
Robin wiped the three black chess pieces in his hand with a wet wipe, chuckling softly.

Rushing to Ashley’s side, she pressed her fingers against his neck–there was no pulse to be found.
Drawing from her battlefield first–aid training, she concluded that Ashley likely had a ruptured heart.

Although Jack and Benjamin tried to maintain their composure, the scene before them left them profoundly unsettled,

As Martin finished speaking, one of the guards drew a gun and pressed it against Clement’s forehead.

At that moment, he was reminded of the night Lewis, the steward for the Lynches, died after coughing up blood.
On that night, Lewis had intended to eliminate Robin.
Jack’s guards, clad in black, had monitored every move of both Robin and Lewis through surveillance.
From the time Lewis and Robin appeared together, Robin had not made any moves.
Lewis’s unusual demise still raised suspicions in Jack’s mind.
The autopsy had indicated a ruptured heart as the cause of death.
A heart that had burst without any apparent external cause.
Unless there existed the Death’s Melody,
No one could verify if such a deadly technique existed in this world.
Ashley’s death mirrored Lewis’s fate.

If Robin was indeed responsible, how had he managed to kill Ashley from a distance?
Jack pondered, suddenly recalling the three chess pieces Robin had tossed into the air.
Could the sound of those pieces striking the board have caused Ashley’s death?
That notion seemed far–fetched.
If true, it would indicate a terrifying method of killing
Even the Dragon Lord he once served had never demonstrated such abilities.
Who exactly is Robin?
As Jack grappled with his shock, Benjamin was equally astounded.
He recalled witnessing a similar scene 20 years earlier at Dragonhold on Mount Valurian.

This secret had weighed heavily on him for two decades.
Now, seeing a similar scene unfold sent chills down his spine.
Could there really be a comparable method of killing in this world?
“Mr. Henry!” a guard from the Wrights spoke respectfully from outside the presidential suite,
“There’s been an incident at the hotel entrance”

“Mr. Henry, 50 developers from Eastvale Development Group are demanding immediate renegotiation of their investment contracts with the Dunn Group.
“They assert that if the contracts for cooperative development aren’t amended today, they will terminate their agreements with the Dunns!”
Henry was taken aback. Fifty developers want to withdraw from the Eastvale Ecological Project with the Dunn Group?”
If that occurred, it would spell disaster for the Dunn Group.
Turning to Robin, he asked, ‘Mr. Ramsey, are you aware of this?”
Robin nodded. “I am.”
“Mr. Ramsey, what course of action do you propose?”
Robin replied without hesitation, “Have the 50 investors select two or three representatives to meet on the third floor. We’ll discuss this over dinner.”
Henry nodded in agreement. “Alright, Mr. Ramsey, I’ll make those arrangements immediately.”
Robin turned to Benjamin and said, “Mr. Shorts, let’s conclude today’s game. We can schedule another match for later.
Benjamin managed a strained smile, clasping his hands together, “Mr. Ramsey, after today, I won’t dare to claim mastery over chess again!”
Robin responded with a nonchalant smile, “Mr. Martin let’s go see what these developers are trying to do!”

Robin exited the presidential suite, with Henry walking beside him.
Freya trailed behind but suddenly halted, turning back to confront Jack and Martin.
“Mr. Jack, Grandpa, I have to ask: Is Ashley’s death linked to Robin?”
Jack offered a slight nod. “It’s somewhat connected.”
Freya froze, her eyes widening in shock. “Are you implying that Robin killed Ashley?”
Jack shook his head. “How can you say that? Did you see Robin do anything?”
Freya frowned, responding, “No, I didn’t see anything at all.”

Freya observed Jack’s calmness, feeling perplexed by his true intentions.
She turned to Martin, gripping his arm tightly. “Grandpa, is that true?”
Martin nodded in agreement. “Yes. Mr. Jack is correct.
“We should head to the banquet hall on the third floor they’re still waiting for me.”
Feeling doubtful, Freya couldn’t shake the feeling that the two older men were speaking in riddles.
Realizing that further questions would lead to no answers, she decided to leave..
“Mr. Shorts, hold on a moment,” Jack interjected, stepping in front of him.
Benjamin looked up, startled. “General Grayson, do you have a question?”
“Mr. Shorts, I’d like to know your opinion on Robin and this situation.”
Benjamin forced a smile. “The young man is extraordinary! Even if I practiced Go for another 20 years, I wouldn’t come close to his level. I’m quite embarrassed
“If I hadn’t played against him today, it would have been a lifelong regret!
“I had no clue we had such a Go prodigy here in Draconia.

The celebration for Martin’s recovery was in full swing on the third floor,
The guests attending the banquet were of the highest caliber.
Three dining tables occupied the banquet hall on this level.
One table was filled with the wealthiest individuals from Brookhaven, including Homer Lander, the president of Lander Realty Group; Caesar Shaw from Shaw International; Heath Osborne of Heath Properties; and Griffin of the Collin family.

Robin entered the grand hall with Henry and Freya.
Carson stepped forward to greet them. “Mr. Ramsey, please take a seat here.”
Robin was invited to join the table with prominent political and military figures from Harmonfield, instantly capturing the attention of all the guests.
To them, anyone who received such an honor from the Wrights must have an incredibly powerful background.
The heads of Brookhaven’s families, each worth billions, were not even deemed worthy to sit at Martin’s table.
The fact that this young man occupied that seat led them to speculate about Robin’s background.
“Which notable family in Brighton does he belong to?”

Noticing the tension in Henry’s voice and the veiled threat in his words, they quickly rose to their feet.
“Mr. Henry, we have important matters to discuss, Gideon began, his voice steady but urgent.

Henry’s expression darkened. “What issue are you referring to?”
Gideon replied immediately, “All 50 of us developers involved in the Eastvale Ecological Project firmly believe that the contract we signed with the Dunns was entirely fraudulent and coerced.

Shirley spoke sharply. “Mr. Joss, Mr. Hale, when the Dunns invested billions into the Eastvale Business District, their aim was to create a green living and shopping hub for Harmonfield.
“The overall plan for the Business District was designed to benefit the people of Harmonfield and fully comply with the city government’s requirements.
“When you first saw the Eastvale Business District as a promising opportunity, you were eager to partner with the Dunns and share in that wealth.

The heads of the notable Brookhaven families nodded in agreement.
“Mr. Liam is right; while the Dunns profit, they can’t disregard the needs of others! We should all share in the benefits!”

Drake’s heart raced!
The Dunns had already poured an enormous amount of money into the Eastvale project, and those investments were deeply rooted.
If these 50 developers withdrew their support now, it would be like a financial panic!
Previously, the Dunns had nearly committed all their assets to the Eastvale Business District and the Southvale plots.
Currently, they hadn’t seen any returns on their investments.
If the Eastvale project faced delays, and no competent partners stepped in quickly, the Dunns financial situation could collapse in an instant.
The consequences were grave; the Dunns could be on the verge of financial ruin.

Caesar from Shaw International nodded. “Ms. Dunn, its been ages since we last met, and you’re still as stubborn as ever. We should all take a step back, and maybe we can work something out. What’s the big deal in agreeing to their requests?”
Heath from Heath Properties chuckled. “Drake, even if you handed them the entire Easty Dunns could handle it. Just let this small issue slide; why create unnecessary tension?”

Inside the banquet hall on the third floor, it was apparent to everyone that Liam had orchestrated a
scheme with several prominent families from Brookhaven to put on this elaborate show.
Their intentions were unmistakably aimed at undermining the Dunns.
Drake felt a wave of dizziness wash over him as the reality set in.
The Eastvale Ecological Project posed a serious threat, potentially pushing the Dunns into a deep crisis.
Shirley scanned the room, noting how the guests observed them like predators eyeing their prey, and a cold smile crept onto her lips.
If the Dunns were to falter today, the others would eagerly descend upon them, ready to tear them apart.
She directed her glare at Gideon and Cormac. “Were you truly serious about what you just stated?
“If the Dunns refuse to adjust the terms of the investment project, do you 50 families genuinely want to
terminate the contract?”
Gideon hesitated momentarily. “Ms. Dunn, please try to understand our predicament-
Shirley cut him off, her tone frigid as she pressed, “I’m asking you: If the Dunns don’t ar are you absolutely certain you wish to terminate?”

Gideon felt beads of cold sweat form on his forehead as he faced Shirley’s piercing gaze.
“Answer me!” she demanded, her voice sharp and commanding.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the banquet hall shifted to a heavy silence.
All eyes turned toward Shirley, the heiress of the Dunns
Known as the preeminent figure of Harmonfield and the president of the Dunn Group, Shirley emanated a commanding presence that rivaled Drake in his heyday!
Gideon and Cormac found themselves unnerved by her intensity.
Liam, observing the tension, chuckled. “Mr. Joss, do you really think you’ll survive if you don’t Terminate the contract?
In that moment, Gideon and Cormac’s confidence surged.
Liam had assured them that if they could successfully pressure the Dunns into modifying the exclusivity clause of the investment project–or even force a collective termination–the Dunns would abandon their plans for Eastvale, and Liam promised them a significant slice of the Dunns‘ fortunes.
Gideon wiped his forehead and summoned his courage “Ms. Dunn, please take our concerns seriously,
“If the Dunns refuse to change that clause in the investment project, we 50 families will terminate the contract!

Although Robin had assured her earlier that they could terminate the contracts without hesitation, facing the current reality now caused her to hesitate.
She understood that if they severed ties with 50 investors, the repercussions for the Dunns could be devastating unless substantial funds were injected to rescue them!
Glancing at Drake, she noted his grave expression.
This decision could very well seal the fate of the Dunn family!
Liam burst into laughter. “Mr. Dunn Sr., Shirley, do you really need to ponder such a straightforward. question?
“Mr. Joss and the others have already proposed a solution: either amend the contract or terminate it-
“Then let’s go ahead and terminate!” Robin interjected, pointing at Gideon and Cormac.
“Since the 50 business partners have opted to terminate, there’s no need for further discussion
The banquet hall fell silent once more, with everyone staring at Robin in disbelief.
Drake’s eyes brightened!
Is Robin actually advocating for an immediate termination?
The affluent elite from Brookhaven appeared puzzled.
“Who is he to speak for the Dunns?”
Stepping confidently to the center of the banquet hall, Robin stood tall.
Liam was momentarily taken aback; he hadn’t anticipated Robin stepping forward to support the Dunns in such a significant matter.
He chuckled mockingly. “Robin, this is a Dunn family matter. Who do you think you are?”
Robin replied with a light laugh, “I’m the CEO of the Eastvale Development Group and the largest shareholder of the Dunn Group. Does that clarify my position?
“As for the cooperation regarding the Eastvale Ecological Project, I am the final authority on the matter.”
Liam shook his head, smirking. “Mr. Dunn Sr., Robin is set to completely dismantle your standing with the Dunns.
“If you had accepted my relationship with Shirley from the start, I would have promptly aided the Dunns in resolving this issue rather than hastily moving to terminate the contract with Mr. Joss and his allies.”
Shirley scoffed, “No matter what predicament the Dunns face, we will never work with you, you monster!”
Robin regarded Drake coolly. “Mr. Dunn Sr., do you have any objections to my decision?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Drake replied, “Mr. Ramsey, whatever choice you make, I will fully

“If we proceed to terminate the contract, it could cost the Dunns everything. Are you absolutely sure you won’t regret this?” Robin asked, his demeanor calm.
Drake shook his head firmly. “No regrets!
“Mr. Ramsey, without your intervention, the Dunns would have ceased to exist six months ago. Everything we possess now is due to you. How could we even contemplate losing it all?
“I’ve stated before: Everyone in the Dunns will adhere to your decisions!
“Since you have advised us to terminate the contract, we can move forward right away!”
Robin
grinned nonchalantly. “Exactly! In this world, what belongs to you cannot be taken away. What isn’t yours, no matter how much you scheme, will remain out of reach.
“Alright, then. Since Mr. Dunn Sr. agrees, let’s finalize the termination!
“Shirley, please inform Ms. Jenning to manage the contract termination on–site,
“From today forward, these 50 companies will no longer share in any profits from the Dunn Group.
Shirley nodded, reaching for her phone. “Ms. Jenning, are you there?”
“Ms. Dunn, I have prepared all 50 termination contracts, and the legal advisors from our group are waiting outside the hotel.”

Shirley had her phone set to speaker, allowing her conversation with Amber to resonate throughout the banquet hall, ensuring everyone could hear.
From the tone of their discussion, it was evident that the Dunns had long been preparing to cut ties with 50 partners before the event even commenced.
Gideon and Cormac exchanged wary glances, noticing the frigid indifference on Shirley and Drake’s faces.
A wave of unease washed over them.
Is it possible that the Dunns have an even more formidable plan in play?
If that’s truly the case, we are in serious trouble.
This high–stakes gamble had the potential to completely devastate the 50 investors involved.
After a brief moment of shock, Gideon and Cormac managed to regain their composure.
Although Robin had boldly declared himself the CEO of the Dunns Eastvale Development Group and called for a termination of the contract, they found it hard to believe he possessed the power to attract nearly 200 billion in investment for the Eastvale Ecological Project once the cont

Trinity rose to her feet and stepped forward, her voice laced with disdain. ‘Shirley, I really can’t comprehend how someone from the esteemed Dunn family would gamble your future on a nobody!
“I just learned that you’re coddling a lowly thug, a man dismissed by the Millers, treating him like a gem! Haha! What kind of fantasy has the Dunns become ensiared in?
“You’ve not only inflated his ego and given him shares but also made yourself his puppet, letting him toy with the Dunns‘ empire. Have you lost your senses?”
Shirley remained unfazed by her taunts.
Trinity, emboldened by Liam’s presence, pointed a finger at Robin and continued, “Robin, you’re quite the character! A petty criminal, yet you have the Dunns wrapped around your finger! Haha…
“Your rise could easily be the plot of a bestseller! I’ve even thought of title: The Underdog’s Ascent! Haha!”
“How dare you belittle Mr. Ramsey!” Daphne snapped back coldly. “Rita, give her a slap!”
With a swift motion, Rita’s hand connected with Trinity’s face, sending her staggering backward. Gasps echoed throughout the hall.
“H–how dare you hit me!” Trinity sputtered, her eyes wide as she fought to regain her balance, pointing an accusing finger at Rita,

After all, Trinity was his girlfriend.
Rita’s public slap was a direct insult to him.
“Ms. West, Trinity is my girlfriend. Do you really have no respect for me?” Liam’s voice was tight with indignation. “You should think of my family before acting against Trinity”
“You Hamiltons are nothing!” Daphne retorted sharply.
“Control your woman! If she disrespects Mr. Ramsey again, I’ll take her down–and you along with her!”
Daphine’s fierce words rang through the banquet hall like thunder, leaving the guests stunned.
“Who is this woman? She’s terrifying!” several influential guests whispered among themselves.
“She’s Daphne, known as The Enchanting Queen in Harmonfield!”
“That woman is ruthless, as deadly as a viper. Anyone who crosses her ends up in deep trouble.
“Looks can be deceiving: such beauty conceals a lethal edge.”

His words aimed to provoke the Wrights into siding against Daphne.
Immediately, attention shifted toward Martin.
Before anyone from the Wright family could respond. Jack pointed at Liam with icy disdain. “Who are you? That’s your girlfriend? This kind of crude trash deserves a slap!
“According to my principles, anyone with such a filthy mouth should be dragged out and executed!
“Mr. Martin, Mr. Shorts, what do you think?”
Martin nodded slightly.
Benjamin chimed in, “That sounds about right!”
As Jack’s words sank in, Liam’s checks flushed with anger.
He recognized that the two powerful figures sitting beside Martin were not to be trifled with.
Even if he didn’t fully grasp Jack’s significance, the man radiated authority and spoke to Martin with a commanding tone.
Clearly, Jack was someone of equal stature to Martin–if not higher–and had connections in the military!
Liam, despite his wealth, knew better than to offend anyone associated with the military.

He turned to Henry and asked, “Mr. Henry, with all 50 investment partners terminating their contracts, the Eastvale Ecological Project is facing a capital shortfall of nearly 200 billion. How will the Dunns manage this project?
“As I understand it, the Eastvale Ecological Project is one of the city government’s most critical developments in its five–year plan. If this leads to delays in Harmonfield’s overall progress, no one can shoulder that responsibility.
“If the Dunns can’t continue with the Eastvale project, who will take over?

Casting a glance at Robin, whose face–remained impassive, he replied coolly, “Mr. Liam, it feels a bit hasty to bring this up now. Let’s allow the Dunns to finish their termination agreement before we delve deeper
into this.”
Liam shook his head vehemently. “Mr. Henry, if we wait, it may already be too late.
“The Dunns won’t just disappear; their downfall will carry severe repercussions for the Eastvale project.
“The Eastvale Ecological Project might very well be left abandoned, reduced to mere ruins.
“It’s like a battle: When the troops are defeated, it’s as if a mountain has crumbled–the momentum is entirely lost.
“If that were to happen, no investor would be inclined to take on such a venture.”
Henry lowered his voice. “What are you implying?”
“Mr. Henry, I mean if the Dunns can’t quickly come up with a strategy to secure nearly 200 billion in capital, they’ll lose control of the Eastvale project, which will then fall to my family, the Hamiltons.
“Are you suggesting that the Hamiltons can actually infuse 200 billion into Eastvale?” Henry scoffed. raising an eyebrow in disbelief.
Liam thumped his chest confidently. “Absolutely!”
Henry was momentarily taken aback. The Hamiltons can manage 200 billion?
That seems impossible!
Henry chuckled dismissively. “Mr. Liam, this isn’t mere chatter; investments aren’t just handed out on a
whim!
Liam insisted, “Just wait. You’ll see once you’re open for business…..
Henry waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to continue this conversation.
Even getting 100 billion from the Hamiltons would be a monumental challenge–where on earth would the other 200
billion come from?
He turned to Robin and the others. “Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Dunn Sr., Ms. Dunn, how do you plan to tackle the capital issue after the termination?”
Robin offered a faint smile. “Mr. Henry, let’s hold off on that for now. First, we’ll address the termination contract, and afterward, we can talk about what comes next.”

“Ms. Dunn, here are the termination contracts.” Two guards from the Wright family entered the banquet hall on the third floor, carrying 50 termination agreements and accompanied by Amber along with five legal representatives from the Dunn Group.
Robin motioned toward Gideon. “Sign here. But before you proceed. I’d like to remind you that the original partnership agreement with the Eastvale Development Group is still legally binding.
“While you may call it a side agreement, those terms aren’t solely at your discretion.
“When the contract was first signed, it wasn’t printed out; all evidence remains intact. This contract was established following negotiations with the legal teams from the Dunn Group and your 50 companies.
“In simpler terms, if you violate the contract with the Dunns, you’ll face substantial penalties.
“Rest assured, the Dunns will pursue this lawsuit with unwavering determination.
“Starting today, the Dunns will establish a legal advisory team to recruit the top lawyers in economic contract disputes. This lawsuit will carry on indefinitely until your 50 companies settle their penalties and cover project losses.
“A partner lacking accountability must accept the consequences!
“There will be no settlement in this lawsuit until it reaches a final judgment!”
Gideon and Cormac broke into a cold sweat.
They understood the weight of Robin’s words.
If the Dunns managed to weather this financial storm, they could drag the 50 companies into court.
Even if they lost everything, paying up would be impossible.
They would be left with a lifetime of unmanageable debt!
They glanced at Liam. “Mr. Liam…”
Liam chuckled softly.

Vera, who had been quietly observing, stood up.

Shirley and Drake nodded appreciatively. Thank you. Ms. Silva. The Dunns will remember your generosity.”

Rygar thought for a moment. “Mr. Ramsey, I can put forward eight billion. If that isn’t sufficient, I’ll find another way.
Carson frowned tightly.
The amounts pledged by these individuals seemed almost trivial compared to the enormous scope of the Eastvale project.
He looked over at the table occupied by Brookhaven’s leading families before standing up. “Mr. Lander, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Osborne … You must have significant capital available. You likely understand the future benefits of developing the Eastvale Business District better than I do.
“I believe that at this moment, if you’re willing to contribute, the Dunns will ensure you reap rewards from the project’s profits.
“I’m prepared to invest 10 billion, and if you all join in at that level, we can resolve the capital issues for the Eastvale Business District.”
Homer scoffed. “Mr. Carson, we can’t match your financial prowess. We’re unable to assist with this.”

The head of the Shaws shook his head. “Mr. Carson, I truly regret it, but I’m currenthing severe financial constraints after taking on an overseas project. I can’t involve myself with Dunns in the Eastvale Development Group.”
Several others waved their hands, firmly declining to join the Dunns‘ investment partnership.
Carson was left stunned.
It was evident they were conspiring with Liam to push the Dunns toward their downfall.
He sneered, “Mr. Lander, are you genuinely determined to maintain your previous stance?”
Homer laughed, gesturing at Robin. “I thought he was some important guest of the Wrights, perhaps the heir of a wealthy family. It turns out he’s the rejected fiancé from that insignificant family, the Millers.
“The Dunns fail to recognize their own worth, choosing to align with a lowlife discarded by a second–rate family.
“Ms. Dunn shows poor judgment; she’s taken a liking to this unremarkable person. Why on earth should ! assist him? What is he to me?”

As Homer’s voice resonated throughout the room, the elite crowd from Brookhaven erupted into laughter around the table.
Caesar from Shaw International shot a derisive glance at Shirley and Robin, shaking his head in

“Mr. Lander, you’ve nailed it. Initially, I thought we were dealing with some privileged heir. Ha! Turns out he’s just a nobody!
“Nowadays, these broke individuals are experts at presenting themselves. With a mere 3 grand to their names, they somehow manage to give the illusion of raking in 30 grand a month! Haha..
“What a pity for Miss Dunn from Harmonfield–a stunning beauty wasted on such a worthless person!
“The Dunns must be blind! I wouldn’t dare associate with someone of his low status.
Homer slapped Caesar on the back, laughing so hard he nearly toppled over. “These desperate losers are sneakier than they appear!

Carson’s expression grew increasingly serious.
Heath from Heath Properties quickly rugged on Homer’s sleeve. “Mr. Lander, why don’t you take a seat and have a drink?”
Only then did Homer realize Carson’s discomfort.
Despite the Landers‘ prestigious background in Brookhaven, leading them to have little fear of the Wrights, it was unusual for personal animosities to surfice publicly among such elite company.
He chuckled awkwardly. “‘Carson, don’t overthink it. I’m merely expressing my honest opinion.
“You know me: I can’t stand those talentless people who think they can leech off others!”
Seemingly dissatisfied, he stood up. “Mr. Martin, Carson, since we’re on this topic, may I are a few more thoughts?”
Carson considered stepping in, but Martin, maintaining a stoic demeanor, nodded. “Go ahead, say what

According to Martin’s principles, he would repay Robins act of heroism no matter the cost, even if it jeopardized the Wright family’s entire fortune.
Homer’s refusal to lend a hand was one thing, but publicly shaming Robin time and again was entirely unacceptable!
Martin wouldn’t let this matter go easily.
Afterward, he would undoubtedly use all his connections to pressure the Landers of Brookhaven.
Yet, Homer mistakenly interpreted Martin’s words as agreement with his stance.
With increased arrogance, he rose from his seat, pointing at Robin in derision. “I recently heard Mr. Liam mention some nobody causing a fuss in Harmonfield!
“So it was you, huh? I expected something special!
“Seeing you in person today has been a real disappointment, haha…
“Kid, the realm of the wealthy isn’t a place for someone like you to trample upon!”

He laughed mockingly along with the other affluent Brookhaven attendees.
