Chapter 57 Facing the Real Deal
Vera looked around and couldn’t help but laugh.
Being with Robin made the world feel a lot more interesting.
She glanced at Robin’s expression and burst into laughter again.
“Alice said you’re a walking disaster, and it’s true-you can start a fight just trying to eat a doughnut Hahaha.
Robin pulled out a wet wipe to clean his hands, ignoring her,
Vera glanced at Jasper and the others, snorted, and said, “You bunch of losers, do you really think it’s funny to bully people? Looks like you’ve finally met your match today!
“Do you even know who he is? Rowan and Logan would hold his shoes for him! And you dare to say you’re Logan’s friend in front of him? That’s basically asking for trouble!” Jasper felt uneasy, and Vera’s words made him even more anxious. “Is he really one of Rowan’s or Logan’s people?”
Vera turned to the doughnut stand, bought two orders of doughnuts, and handed one to Robin.
“Robin, while you were fighting with them just now, Alice and Zachary were watching the whole thing”
Robin took a bite of his doughnur. “So what?”
Vera wanted to share what Alice had said but found it boring and dropped it
“Alice’s grandpa returned so quickly because his health is bad. The doctor says he only has six months left.
“When the Millers heard this news, the relatives and shareholders up top started plotting to fight over the control of the Miller Group,
“Alice’s been eager to sign an investment deal for the Eastvale Ecological Project because she wants to secure the chairwoman position of the Miller Group.
“If she can’t improve the company’s performance soon, her aunt, uncle, and some major shareholders might turn against her.”
Robin looked at Vera, confused. “What are you telling me all this for?”
Vera paused for a moment. “It’s really not that important. Forget it.”
Just then, two Hummers sped in from the direction of Dawnspire Mountain! They had the Dawnspire Security Company logo prominently displayed.
The newcomers were none other than Rowan and Logan.
Robin checked his watch-three minutes, not a second more.

Rowan had been at the Dawnspire Mountain villa.

After receiving Robin’s call, he immediately drove over with Logan, not daring to waste a moment.
The two Hummers, marked with the Dawnspire Mountain villa insignia, screeched to a halt in front of the doughnut stand, their tires screeching against the ground. Rowan and Logan jumped out of the cars and rushed toward Robin.
“Whoa? Rowan and Logan are here!”
“Oh my gosh, this guy really has some clout! Just one call and he actually got them to show up!”
The crowd around them gasped in surprise, watching Rowan and Logan arrive in under three minutes.
The way they looked at Robin now was filled with awe!
Jasper trembled at the sight..
He never imagined that after pretending to be connected to Logan and scamming money in this area, he’d actually run into the real deal today!
“Did you see that? Rowan and Logan actually look scared of him!”
“This kid must be a big shot!”
At that moment, Robin’s status stunned everyone in line for doughnuts.
Those who had been trying to keep their distance suddenly felt utterly ashamed..
After Rowan and Logan got out with six imposing bodyguards, they quickly approached Robin. They stood at attention, respectfully saying. “Mr. Ramsey!” Everyone watching was once again in shock.
These tough characters looked fearsome to others and were so humble in front of Robin.
It was clear that Robin’s status was much higher than Rowan and Logan’s!
“Today is really an eye-opener! Rowan, this elusive figure, is actually respecting him!”
“Looks like Jasper and Tucker are finished today!”
“Bragging about being Logan’s friend, and he runs into the real deal-now that’s interesting!”
“Did you see him shaking?”
Jasper fell down, completely terrified and unable to speak.
He knew all too well that the people under Violeterest International were not average street thugs.
Using their name for illegal activities would definitely get him in deep trouble!
Tucker, seeing this scene, was already preparing to sneak away, quietly backing off.

If Logan asked about what had happened, he couldn’t escape.
This was no simple fight; it could cost him his life!
Logan, heh, who exactly are you hanging out with?” Robin said with a cold smile.
“Just ran into Austin at the villa entrance, and now I find one of your friends here.
“Harassing girls all morning-what kind of people are these?”
Logan felt a wave of panic at Robin’s words.
If Daphne found out, he’d be finished!
“Mr. Ramsey, I swear, he’s not my friend! This jerk’s just using my name to scam people!”
“You handle it yourself, Robin nodded.

“Who the hell do you think you are, calling yourself my friend? Are you tired of living?!” Logan kicked Jasper in the face, filled with rage.
Jasper was stunned by the impact.
Logan and his bodyguards didn’t hold back like Robin had; they looked ready to tear him apart.
Jasper glanced at Robin, aware that this guy was real. He scrambled to Robin’s feet, pleading. “Mr. Ramsey, I was blind! Please spare me! I swear I won’t do it again! “Didn’t you just tell me to lick the doughnut off the ground? I’ll do it right now!”
with that. Jasper dropped to the ground, licking up the previously spilled doughnut and food like a dog
Once he finished, he crawled over to Robin and Logan, saying, “Mr. Barrett, please spare me! I promise I won’t ever do it again.”
Logan replied coldly, “Do you really think offending Mr. Ramsey means I can let you off the hook?
“If I let you go, how will I show my face in Harmonfield again?
“Come on, kid, you should’ve thought about the consequences before you did this!
“That means death!
“Take him out and get rid of him!” Logan ordered his men.
Two bodyguards immediately covered Jasper’s mouth, threw a sack over him, and dragged him into a van that had just arrived.
Then, Logan turned to Tucker and the others, “You guys, get over here! Run to the top of Dawnspire Mountain in ten minutes! If even one of you is missing it won’t just be a beating: it’ll be death!” Tucker and the others didn’t dare to TUIL
Logan meant every word, if they ran, it would definitely be a death sentence.

“Get up; it’s not entirely your fault. Let’s move on from this, Robin said, finishing his last bite of doughnut.
He pulled out a wet wipe to clean his hands and walked towards the van.
Vera was also shocked by what she had just witnessed.
She had thought Rowan and Logan were just being respectful to Robin.
She never expected their demeanor would surpass Daphne’s standing before them!
Who exactly was Robin!
What kind of terrifying background did he have?
Otherwise, how could these once-feared big shots in Harmonfield be so humble and scared in front of him?
As she watched Robin’s ordinary figure, her heart raced.
“Robin, wait! Can you show a little decorum? I’m still behind you, and you’re walking so fast! Oh no, my heel came
Vera twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.
Robin ignored her and continued walking toward the van.
Jerk! You have no idea how to treat a lady. Vera, furious, took off her shoe and threw it at Robin
Robin didn’t even turn around; he felt something flying towards him from behind.
With a flick of his arm, he sent Vera’s shoe flying
It arced through the air, landing more than ten meters away in a ditch.
“Hey? What the heck! You actually knocked my shoe away!
Vera immediately sprang to her feet and chased after it barefoot.
As she ran, she fumed, “Robin, you jerk!”

Chapter 58 The Price of Misjudgment
“Wait, why is Vera here?” Alice exclaimed in surprise as she saw Vera push through the crowd to reach Robin. I’ll go get her.
Alice opened the car door and made her way over to where Robin and Vera were standing
Vera had been watching from the car and had seen Robin’s confrontation with Tucker
She’d assumed that beating Tucker would be the end of it.
She hadn’t expected the guy to be so vindictive.
Tucker came back with Jasper and a gang of seven or eight thugs for revenge.
When she saw the situation escalating, she quickly ran over.
As soon as she reached Robin, Alice pulled her aside.
“Vera, are you out of your mind lately?
“Why are you hanging around with Robin, that walking disaster?”
Vera smirked. “I’m just curious about the man you called off your engagement with.
“Thought I’d tag along to check out Villa One at Dawnspire Heights to see what it’s all about”
Alice shook her head, exasperated. “Did you even get inside the gates? Or were you just standing around outside?
“I don’t get it, Vera. How can someone as sharp as you believe anything Robin says? He’s a total fraud?”
Vera sighed. “Alice, do you really hate Robin that much?
“As far as I know, he’s never actually done anything to hurt you, has he?
“Alice, listen to me. Robin really is the owner of Villa One at Dawnspire Heights…”
“Enough!” Alice cut her off, visibly irritated.
“Vera, how could you be so gullible to believe anything that man says?
“Dawnspire Heights Villa One is a legend in Harmonlied!
“People like Shirley and Daphne, who have insane wealth and influence, can’t even buy that place.
“And you think Robin, some nobody with no background, actually owns it? Do you even hear yourself?
Vera gave a small shrug. “Alright, Alice. I’ve told you as your best friend; believe it or not, that’s up to you Just remember, don’t blame me one day if the truth cones out.”

Seeing Alice’s look of contempt. Vera added. “You think I’m naive enough to be deceived by him? Fine.
“But if that’s true, what about Ms. Dunn and Ms. West? They’re two of the most brilliant women in Harmonfield. Are you saying they’re idiots too?”
Alice rolled her eyes in frustration. “I don’t want to hear anymore! You’re hopeless!
“Every time I see that guy pretending to be rich, it just makes me sick!”
“Fine, if Robin’s right, then think whatever you want-whatever makes you happy,” Vera said with a soft scoff, shaking her head. She continued. “Suit yourself, Alice.
“One day, if you find out that the person you look down on is someone you can never measure up to, I wonder how you’ll feel.” Alice sighed, looking at Vera. “Vera, you poor thing… It’s my fault for dragging you into this mess. Robin is such a scumbag!” Just then, Zachary walked over. “Alice, Mr. Liam is waiting for us at the Mugshot Cafe on Ridge Road. Let’s
Turning to Vera, he added, “Come on, Vera. Come with us. Stop tagging along with Robin.
“Don’t you see, Vera?
“He’s dragging you down with him. You both are hanging around in places like this with a bunch of street thugs…. Zachary’s words quickly sparked irritation in the crowd, who began to murmur angrily, “Who’re you calling street thugs?” Seeing that things could turn ugly, Alice grabbed his arm and quickly led him away.
Meanwhile, Robin walked over to Jasper, who was still on the ground and planted his foot firmly on Jasper’s chest.
“Before you leave, you’re going to lick all the doughnuts and hash browns off the ground.”
Then he looked over at Tucker, who was standing off to the side, visibly shaken. “You! Ger over here!” Tucker was filled with regret.
If he’d known Robin was this skilled, he never would’ve wasted money calling in Jasper and his gang.
Seeing Robin’s otherworldly strength, he realized that even bringing dozens of men wouldn’t make a difference.
His legs wobbling, Tucker staggered over to Robin and dropped to his knees. T’m sorry, sir. It was all my fault. I didn’t see who I was dealing with. Please show inercy and spare me..

While Tucker was ok to beg for forgiveness, Jasper, still pinned under Robin’s foot, remained defiant.
He rugged to lift his head and glared up at Robin. “Kid, sure, you can fight. But so what?
“You think you can get far in this world just by throwing punches?
Rolan chuckled “Ohe Have some wise words for me, huh? Go ahead. I’m all ears. Scare me if you can.”
Jasper, gritting his teeth, sneered. “You ever heard of Logan from Dawnspire Security?
“Logan is like a brother to me. You’ll regret this trust me!”
Redan had expected Jasper to pull the “Logan card.”
Jasper’s mention of Logan sent a hush over the crowd.
People instinctively stepped hack, eager to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of whatever was about to happen.
In Harmonfield, anyone who didn’t know Logan of Dawnspire Security was probably new in town.
Ever since Violettrest International took over Harmonfield, Dawnspire Security’s two stars, Rowan and Logan, had become household names.
When Daphine fint came to Harmonfield, she’d clashed with the infamous mob boss Rygar to secure control of Dawnspire Mountain and its surrounding areas. Violeterest International won that turf war, largely thanks to Rowan.
Logan was his right-hand man.
Under Logan’s management, Dawnspire Heights Estates had become a fortress; no one dared cause trouble there.
Logan was a legend on Dawnspire Mountain. His name was known by all.
So when Jasper dropped Logan’s name, the crowd couldn’t help but tense up.
This was more than a simple street fight now,
Logan represented a force far beyond mere fists.
He was backed by Violeterest International, a power that even the feared Rygar respected.
Messing with Logan would be like sticking your hand in a hornet’s nest.
Though some onlookers felt sorry for Robin, none of them dared to warn him to back off
They didn’t want to risk getting on Logan’s bad side for a stranger’s sake.
Seeing the effect of Logan’s name on the crowd, Jasper confidence grew,
Still under Robin’s foot, bis attitude shifted from fear to cocky.

He straightened up as best as he could..

Robin looked at him with mild amusement.

Clearly, Jasper had been using Logan’s name to bully others for a while and was enjoying the perks that came with it.
“Oh, so you’re really Logan’s gang?” Robin said, stepping back and exchanging a glance with Vera, who gave him a wry smile.
Jasper, finally free, scrambled to his feet. “So you’re scared now? Ha!”
Robin shook his head. “Not scared. I just don’t get why Logan is supposed to be so terrifying.”
Jasper bristled, his face twisted with rage. “Kid! How dare you insult my brother Logan? Are you asking for death?”
Robin calmly pulled out his phone. “Rowan, tell Logan to get over here. His brother is saying he wants to kill me. I’m at the doughnut stand opposite Crown & Sage Dining.” The crowd gasped.
Could it be… that Robin actually knew Rowan and Logant
Would Logan really come here?
Jasper flinched, fear flashing in his eyes for a moment.
Could this guy really be connected to Logan?
But then he scoffed, convincing himself it was impossible.
No Robin could talk to Rowan like that-this had to be an act.

“Ha! You’re such a fake, Jasper sneered.
“You think someone like you can just call Mr. Barrett, and he’ll come running?”
Robin smiled. “Three minutes. If Logan doesn’t show up, Rowan will.
“And when they do, don’t wet your pants, alright?”
Jasper’s confidence faltered as he looked at Robin’s calm expression.
Could he really be dealing with someone connected?
The crowd watched in stunned silence, emotions running high.

Chapter 56 Logan Is Like a
Just as Robin was about to get back in the car and ram the Pagani out of the way, a BMW pulled up beside them.
“Vera?” Alice poked her head out of the BMW’s window, looking surprised.
“What are you doing here?”
When she saw Robin standing there, along with a disheveled woman with a swollen, red cheek and two dented cars, she instantly understood what was going on.
Zachary, sitting in the driver’s seat, leaned out with a smirk. “Robin, got into a crash, did you?
“Hahaha… seems like trouble follows you everywhere. Did you actually hit someone too? Now that’s entertaining!”
Vera, seeing Alice and Zachary pull up, walked over and asked, “Alice, what are you guys doing here?”
Alice sighed and said, “You’re asking why we’re here? What about you and Robin? Why are you here?”
“And why wouldn’t we be?” Vera replied, annoyed. “There’s no sign saying only you can be here!”
Alice glanced at Robin with a sneer. “We’re here to meet with Mr. Hamilton for business. You’re just here to snap a few photos and put on a little show for me, aren’t you? “Vera, I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately. Why are you always hanging around someone as low-class as Robin?
“What kind of tricks is he using to fool you?
“Honestly, coming all the way out to Dawnspire Heights Estates early in the morning just to take a few silly photos to show me?
“I get what he’s trying to do. He just wants me to take him back.”
Vera was beyond exasperated. “Alice, you’re overthinking this! Nobody’s trying to impress you, especially not Robin.
“Does someone of his standing really need to put on a show for you?”
Alice exchanged a meaningful look with Zachary, and they both burst out laughing.
“Robin’s standing? He’s a homeless nobody who survives by sweet-talking and scamming people!
“Vera, wake up already!
“One day, you’ll regret it when he’s conned you out of everything!”
“Enough! You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you!” Vera shot Alice a glare.
“One day, when you find out Robin is the actual owner of Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates, you’re going to have nowhere to hide your regret!”
“Him, the owner of Villa One? Hahaha!” Alice and Zachary practically doubled over with laughter.
“Then I guess I’m the queen of Violetcrest!” Alice cackled.
“Keep dreaming! And now, after damaging someone’s Pagani, I wonder if he can even afford the repair.”
“Looks like he might end up on his knees begging for forgiveness,” Zachary mocked, shooting Robin a taunting look.
“Causing trouble around here? Good luck getting out of it unscathed.”
Robin chuckled. “What happens to me isn’t any of your concern.”
“Robin, that’s a three-million-dollar Pagani! Can you afford to pay for that?” Zachary sneered.
Robin shot back, unfazed, “I still have that 300 million you two so kindly donated to my account. Three million is nothing.”
Zachary clenched his teeth, but he had no comeback.
Seeing the others mocking Robin, the woman with the Pagani got even more arrogant.
“You see that, kid?” she taunted.
“A broke nobody like you trying to act tough in front of us? You don’t have the guts!
“Didn’t you say you were going to hit my car? Go on, if you dare!”
Robin gave her a mischievous smile. “Oh, you asked for it. If that’s what you want, I’m happy to oblige.”
Without waiting for anyone to react, he got back in the Land Rover, backed up about ten feet, shifted into the highest gear, and slammed straight into the Pagani. “Crash!”
The sturdy Land Rover smashed into the right side of the Pagani, crumpling its frame.
Screams erupted from the bystanders.
The woman was in complete shock-she never imagined Robin would actually dare to crash into her three-million-dollar luxury car.
After a moment of stunned silence, Alice just shook her head with a bitter smile.
“A brute, nothing but a brute. All he knows is brute force.”
Zachary’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
While three million wasn’t an astronomical sum to him, he would never treat money so recklessly.
This guy’s insane!
As everyone stared in disbelief, Robin backed up the Land Rover again-once, twice, three times-ramming into the Pagani until i I was nothing but a pile of twisted metal. He got out of the car, looked at the woman, and said, “Satisfied? Now, name your price.”
The woman was hysterical.
“You’re dead! Even if you offered to buy me two new cars, I wouldn’t take it!”
“Forget it!” Robin scoffed, climbing back into the car and motioning to Vera.
“What are you waiting for? Get in.”
Just then, four BMW SUVS roared up and surrounded the Land Rover.
Eleven or twelve men jumped out, each holding a machete in hand.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses waved his thick arms as he approached, calling out to the woman by the Pagani.
“Sweetheart, what happened? Which bastard hit you? I’ll kill him!”
The woman ran to him with tears in her eyes. “Dad! It was him! He slapped me.
“And look! He completely wrecked my car!”
The man’s eyes narrowed with fury as he looked Robin up and down. “Kid, get on your knees!
“Where the hell did you come from? Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you hit my daughter!”
Robin chuckled lightly. “I don’t care who you are. Your daughter was out of line, so I just taught her a lesson on how to behave.”
“Oh, really? Then maybe I should teach you how to behave,” the man sneered.
Zachary laughed. “This guy has a death wish, no doubt about it.”
He leaned toward Alice and said, “Do you know who that is? His name is Austin Maddox. He’s friends with Logan, the manager of Dawnspire Security Company!
“It’s said that Austin and Logan used to be mercenaries in the Lunelle area.
“These days, Austin runs security for high-end nightclubs around Harmonfield, and he’s got close to a hundred men under him-hardened criminals with blood on their hands. “Even Rygar’s infamous ‘Devil’ has to give him some respect.
“Robin’s actually talking back to him? He’s suicidal!”
Austin let out a sinister laugh. “You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Alright, boys, take him down!”
With a wave of his hand, a dozen men wielding machetes charged toward Robin.
“Hold it! All of you, back off!” A burly man stepped forward, halting the group.
It was Logan, the manager of Dawnspire Security Company.
“Austin, what’s going on here? Bringing all these guys to cause trouble at the entrance to the villa district? What are you doing?”
Austin turned to him and said, “Mr. Barrett, this kid wrecked my daughter’s car and hit her, too.
“Tell me shouldn’t I take him down?”
Logan looked Robin over and said, “Young man, you’re in the wrong here.
“Why resort to violence? Couldn’t you talk things out?”
Before Robin could respond, Austin interjected impatiently, “Mr. Barrett, stay out of this!
“Today, I’m not leaving until I’ve taught this punk a lesson!”
Logan frowned. “Austin, Mr. Hartley is coming to the villa district soon to deliver Ms. West’s instructions to us at Dawnspire Security Company.
“He’ll be here any minute. You causing a scene here isn’t exactly making my job easy, is it?”
Austin paused for a moment, then said, “Alright, Mr. Barrett, I’ll do you a favor. I won’t handle him here. I’ll take him back with me to deal with him.” Logan looked at Robin and said, “Alright, young man, you caused this mess, so you’ll have to deal with the consequences.
“Go with Austin and settle it.”
Robin smirked. “Of course I’ll handle my own business.
“But as for where we settle it-that’s not for you to decide.”
Austin sneered, “Mr. Barrett, you see how arrogant this kid is?”
Logan’s face twisted into a cold smile. “In this area, I call the shots.
“Young man, I’m warning you don’t push me.”
Robin chuckled. “You’re warning me? And who the hell do you think you are?”
Logan’s expression darkened. “How dare you!”
Seeing Logan’s reaction, Austin quickly motioned for his men, and a dozen thugs closed in around Robin.
“Vera, hurry up and get in our car!” Alice shouted from the sidelines.
Vera ignored her and Zachary, moving swiftly to Robin’s side instead.
Logan then signaled to the 30 security guards he’d brought to clear the area.
Alice, Zachary, and the onlookers were swiftly escorted away, leaving only Robin, Vera, Austin, and his men.
This was to prevent any footage of the fight from leaking out online.
The woman from the Pagani strutted up to Robin and Vera, full of arrogance. “Well, tough guy, why don’t you hit me again?”
Robin gave her a cold smile. “You’re asking for it.”
With that, he raised his hand and slapped her so hard she was thrown to the ground.
Austin, now furious, ordered his thugs to rush at Robin and Vera.
Just then, a Hummer rolled up to the villa gates.
Rowan stepped out of the vehicle.
“Mr. Hartley, I apologize there’s been an incident here…” Logan quickly stepped forward to report.
Austin also stepped up respectfully. “Good to see you, Mr. Hartley.”
Rowan ignored them both and walked straight over to Robin.
Austin was thrilled, thinking Rowan was going to personally deal with Robin for causing trouble in his territory.
“Kid, do you know who this is? This is Mr. Hartley!
“Heh, causing trouble in Mr. Hartley and Mr. Barrett’s territory? You’re asking to die!”

Austin’s daughter stormed forward, sneering, “You dare wreck my car? You’re dead! Think you’re still tough? Hahaha-
Her laugh was cut short as a large hand suddenly clamped around her
lifting her off the ground.
Rowan held her by the neck, his expression cold and merciless. “You’re the one who’s dead.”
“Mr. Hartley! She… she’s my daughter…Austin was stunned by the unbelievable scene unfolding before
him.
Rowan didn’t hesitate. He swung his leg, knocking Austin to the ground, then planted his foot firmly on
Austin’s face.
“Mr. Ramsey, my apologies for the disturbance here. Allow me to handle it, Rowan said, bowing respectfully toward Robin.
Vera stood there, absolutely shocked.
What on earth was going on?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, she remembered that Rowan worked for Daphne.
And thinking back to earlier that morning when Daphne herself had delivered clothes to her, she realized just how powerful Robin’s connections must be.
She stared in shock at Robin, who stood there, calm and unaffected.
What kind of powerful background does this guy have, she wondered.
To command the respect of some of Harmonfield’s most legendary figures.
Logan was equally stunned.
Rowan, Daphne’s top enforcer, stepping in for someone driving a simple Land Rover?
“Mr. Hartley?” Logan asked, still processing the scene.
“Take care of them,” Rowan ordered coldly.
“Y-yes… of course!”
Logan stammered, finally understanding what was happening.
Robin must be an honored guest of Daphne.
Otherwise, Rowan would never have intervened over something so minor.
“Logan, you dare touch me-“Austin began to shout, but Rowan twisted his foot down Irarder.
With a sickening crack, Austin’s neck snapped, and he fell silent.

Rowan then released his daughter, tossing her limp for next to her father’s body
The men who had come with Austin immediately dropped their machetes and fell to their knees, beave “Mr. Hartley, please, have mercy!”
Vera went pale, her legs going weak as she stumbled and leaned against Robin for support
Robin started to help Vera into the car, but after noticing the obvious damage to the front and rear bumpers of the Land Rover, he tossed the keys to Rowan.
“Get the car fixed and send it back to me. I’ll take your vehicle-I’ve got things to do
“Yes, Mr. Ramsey,” Rowan replied immediately, handing over his own keys to Robin.
Robin climbed into the Hummer and drove off, leaving the entrance to the villa district behind
Only once he was out of sight did Rowan slowly turn back.
By now, Logan had already instructed his team to clean up the area.
Within minutes, everything looked as if nothing had happened.
Logan, I’m here today to pass along instructions from Ms. West,” Rowan said.
“Mr. Ramsey is a special guest of Ms. West, and he’s now residing in Villa One in Area One of Dawnspire Heights Estates.
“As head of security for Dawnspire Heights, you understand what this means?”
Logan broke out in a cold sweat as he realized that Robin was actually the owner of Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates. The very person whom everyone in Harmonfield regarded as a legend was Robin He had nearly crossed him!
If Rowan had arrived just a few minutes later, it might not have been just Austin and his arrogant daughter lying on the ground right now.
Logan himself might have ended up alongside them.
“Understood, Mr. Hartley. Don’t worry-today’s incident will never happen again!”
At that moment, Alice and Zachary pulled up to the villa gate in their BMW
They hadn’t been able to reach Liam and couldn’t get access to the villa district.
They thought about calling Raymond, who lived in Area Three, but he’d gone out drinking and his phone
was off
With no other choice, they tried asking the security guards if they could make an exception and let them

“That Hummer heading down the mountain just now was Robin driving it?” Zachary muttered to himself.
Il remember right, that Hummer belongs to Rowan low did Robin end up driving his car? Are they
Alice scoffed. “Do you really think that’s possible?
Mr. Gill, you’re giving him way too much credit
“A brute with no background Mr. Hartley would never associate with someone like him.
“They’re not even on the same level. They’ll never end up in the same circles.
“They’re like two parallel lines. No matter the situation, they’ll always walk separate paths.”
“True, there’s no way Rowan would lower himself to associate with someone like Robin, Zachary laughed at himself.
“Enough about that. Let’s go talk to the security staff.
Alice and Zachary got out of the car and walked up to the villa gate.
Logan was still there, briefing his team about security protocols for Villa One.
He looked up and noticed Zachary and Alice approaching.
From what he remembered, Alice and Zachary seemed to know Robin.
“Hello, Mr. Barrett,” Zachary greeted him with a friendly smile, trying to establish some rapport.
Logan nodded politely. “Hello. You two are friends of Mr. Ramsey, correct?”
Alice immediately waved her hands in denial, cutting Logan off.
“No, no, no, Mr. Barrett, you’ve got it all wrong! We would never associate with someone like Robin-he’s just a brute with no class! “We’re not even in the same league as someone like him.”
Logan’s smile disappeared. “You’re saying Mr. Ramsey is a brute with no class?”
“Exactly! You saw it yourself just now, Mr. Barrett!” Alice continued, eager to paint Robin in a negative light to win favor with Logan.
“That crude thug, Robin, he damaged someone’s car for no reason.
“Not to mention he was so violent! He even hit that poor woman-completely irrational!
“People of our standing would never act in such a violent way.”
Logan gave a cold smile. “So you believe that Mr. Ramsey, who lives in Villa One, is just a brute, not on your level?

“That Hummer heading down the mountain just now was Robin driving i himself.
“If I remember right, that Hummer belongs to Rowan How did Robin end up driving his car? Are they friends?”
Alice scoffed. “Do you really think that’s possible!
“”Mr. Gill, you’re giving him way too much credit!
“A brute with no background-Mr. Hartley would never associate with someone like him.
“They’re not even on the same level. They’ll never end up in the same circles.
They’re like two parallel lines. No matter the situation, they’ll always walk separate paths.”
“True, there’s no way Rowan would lower himself to associate with someone like Robin Zachary laughed
at himself
“Enough about that. Let’s go talk to the security staff.
Alice and Zachary got out of the car and walked up to the villa gate.
Logan was still there, briefing his team about security protocols for Villa One.
He looked up and noticed Zachary and Alice approaching.
From what he remembered, Alice and Zachary seemed to know Robin.
“Hello, Mr. Barrett, Zachary greeted him with a friendly smile, trying to establish some rapport.
Logan nodded politely. “Hello. You two are friends of Mr. Ramsey, correct?”
Alice immediately waved her hands in denial, cutting Logan off.
“No, no, no, Mr. Barrett, you’ve got it all wrong! We would never associate with someone like Robin-he’s just a brute with no class! “We’re not even in the same league as someone like him.”

Td like to ask you something-you keep bragging about being part of the elite, but can you even get inti this villa district?
“Uh wait, Mr. Barrett, are you saying Robin actually lives in Villa One of Dawnspire Heights Estates?” Alice’s mind stalled, trying to process this information “That’s correct. Mr. Ramsey is the owner of Villa One of Dawnspire Heights Estates, Logan replied with a
“Looking at it that way, you’re right-you’re definitely not on his level
Alice’s face drained of color as she heard this. “Mr. Barrett, you’ve been fooled Robin is a fraud! There’s no way he could be the owner of Villa One!”
“Get lost!” Logan barked.
“If you dare slander one of our residents again, you’ll regret it!
“Mr. Barrett, I’m telling you, he’s tricked you
Alice tried to continue, but a few security guards armed with electric batons started walking toward them.
“Alright, we’re leaving” Zachary quickly pulled Alice back to the car, turning it around and heading down
the mountain
Meanwhile, Robin drove Rowan’s Hummer with Vera teside him, leaving Dawnspire Heights Estates. It wasn’t until they reached the base of the mountain that Vera finally snapped out of her daze. She looked at Robin curiously
“I have to ask-why is Daphine so respectful toward your And even Rowan, her top enforcer?”

Robin smirked. “Daphne is in my service, so naturally, she and her team should treat me with respect.”
Vera laughed out loud at Robin’s serious tone.
“Robin, you lie so well-were you an acting major back in college? Haha!”
Robin shook his head in exasperation. I don’t understand. Why is it that whenever I’m honest, you women never seem to believe me? “What’s wrong with this world? Do I really have to be full of lies for you to think I’m telling the truth?”
Vera pointed at Robin’s innocent-looking face, laughing so hard she was almost in tears.
“Is it really that funny? Don’t laugh too hard or you’ll pass out!” Robin muttered, shaking his head.
“Fine, don’t believe me if you don’t want to! I’m hungry anyway. Let’s grab some breakfast across from that steakhouse up ahead.”
Vera managed to calm herself, wiping her tears of laughter. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.
“Oh, by the way, did you hear? Alice’s grandfather is coming back in a few days.”
Robin glanced at her, unconcerned. “So? What’s that got to do with me?”
“You really don’t want to see him, huh?” Vera asked, testing his reaction.
“Not at all,” Robin replied with a dismissive snort.
Vera watched him for a long moment, then let out a knowing chuckle.
Robin glanced down the road and saw a long line forming in front of a small street stall across from the steakhouse, where people were buying doughnuts and pancakes. “It’s been ages since I’ve had doughnuts,” Robin said, visibly excited
He’d noticed the stall the night before and had been looking forward to it.
“Are you going to eat that stuff?” Vera wrinkled her nose. “I wouldn’t touch it. It’s junk food

“Fine, have it your way. More for me!” parking the car in the park.
He jumped out and strode across the street, eager to get his hands on some breakfast, The place was bustling.
It was already 8:30 AM, but there was still a long line of people waiting for a hot breakfast.
Most of the customers were office workers and people from the surrounding area, all waiting patiently to get a taste of the famous doughnuts and pancakes from this popular stall. Robin eavesdropped on the conversations of the people ahead of him.

They were full of enthusiastic praise for the stall’s doughnuts, describing them as both large and delicious.
It was no surprise that the stall was so popular.
Judging by the length of the line, it looked like it would take another ten minutes or so before it was his turn.
But the thought of biting into that crispy doughnut and hot hash browns made the wait worth it.
Meanwhile, Vera sat in the car, watching Robin stand in line with a bemused smile.
Was all this trouble really worth it, just for some doughnuts, pancakes, and hash browns?
Especially on such a cold morning?
He lived in the most luxurious mansion in Harmonfield, yet here he was, willing to wait in a long line for a breakfast that cost a few dollars. This
is guy was something else.
Was this doughnut really that good?
As she thought about it, a memory surfaced.
It had been years since she’d tasted a doughnut, its crispy exterior giving way to a soft, fragrant interior.
The last time she’d had one was with her mother, years ago.
Suddenly, the memory of that flavor, so strongly associated with her mother, awakened a deep craving within her.
A little nostalgic, she sent Robin a text, asking him to bring an extra order back for her.
Robin continued to wait in line for nearly 15 minutes, and soon he was close to the front.. Only five people were left.
Just as he was picturing the taste of the doughnut, a commotion broke out.
A large, stocky man suddenly cut into the line, shoving past people to push himself in front of Robin. He grabbed a young woman in a plaid skirt and started groping her. “What are you doing? Let go of me!” the girl yelled, struggling as the contents of her bag spilled onto the ground.
At first, Robin thought they might be a couple, but the girl’s cry made it clear.
They didn’t know each other at all.
And yet, there he was, harassing her right out in the open as it were the most normal thing in the world
Robin noticed the papers scattered on the ground.
It was the job application documents for the Dunns Group and the girl’s personal resume.

Robin placed a firm found on the man’s shoulder. I said, let her go.”
The man glared, “Who the hell are you to butt in? She she’s my wife. I can do what I want with her!”
“I don’t care who she is to you. You’re ruining my mood so now I’m involved.” Robin grabbed the man and yanked him out of line.
Seeing someone intervene, the girl quickly hid behind Robin. I don’t know him!” she whispered.
Everyone in line stared in surprise.
They recognized the stocky man as a local thug
While Robin was taller than him, his slim build didn’t exactly scream tough guy”
The thug sneered, twisting his face into a smug expression.
“Kid, did 1 hear that right? You really want to pick a fight with me?”
Robin’s face remained blank. That’s right. I don’t like your attitude”
“Now, apologize to the lady and get lost-before I lose my patience.” Casps rippled through the crowd.
Was this young man actually daring to threaten the thug?
Wasn’t he just asking for trouble?
The girl looked up at Robin, worried that he might get hurt on her account. “Forget it. Ell just leave don’t need the doughnut that badly”
The thug laughed, scanning the crowd smugly.
This little lady isn’t complaining. So why don’t you stop asking for trouble?
Robin let out a mocking chuckle. “If there’s trouble. I like to find it.”
The thug’s face twisted in rage. “You wanna die, kid? Alright, let me show you what happens when you mess with met

Everyone was suddenly hyper-aware of Robin’s situation.
A tense silence fell over the scene, no one daring to make a sound, let alone intervene,
After all, who wants to end up with a face full of knuckles just for trying to help?
Robin watched the thug’s punch come toward him, shaking his head slightly
With a swift motion, he slapped the man across the face
Smack! The sound was sharp and clear.
The force of Robin’s blow launched the chubby man off his feet.
He tumbled through the air like a ragdoll, crashing onto the curb a good ten to 13 feet away.
Dazed, he lay there, seeing stars.
He never expected this slim young man to pack such a punch.
The girl in the plaid skirt, along with everyone at the breakfast stall, stared in astonishment.
The fight they’d feared hadn’t happened.
Instead, Robin had sent the thug flying with a single slap.
The crowd broke into cheers.
“Wow! That guy’s incredible!”
“He slapped that thug into next week! So satisfying!”
“I thought that thug was supposed to be tough, but he’s just a loser!”
A group of young office workers laughed, while an elderly man nearby nodded knowingly.
“It’s not that the thug’s weak, but it’s that young man who’s the real deal.
“Look at that ruffian. All those muscles are clearly well-trained. Three or five young people would have a hard time beating him.”
He paused, looking at the others. “Would you dare to meddle in this?”
Several young
young men shook their heads, blushing. “Not a chance!” they admitted.
Conversations about Robin’s behavior rippled through the crowd.
Just then, Alice Miller and Zachary happened to drive by.
“Ah. Sidney, isn’t that Robin?” Alice exclaimed, pointing “Looks like he’s fighting again. This kid is a real god of war, always starting trouble wherever he goes.” Zachary chuckled. “I really admire him,” he said sarcastically. “Besides fighting, what else can he do?”

Chapter 54 A Habit of Beating Up Thugs
Alice scoffed, “He’s probably just venting his frustration from earlier at Dawnspire Heights. All that pent-up anger finally came out here.” Zachary paused for a moment, then laughed mockingly. “Didn’t Mr. Barrett say he lives in Villa One?
“For someone who can supposedly afford a mansion like that, lining up to buy fried dough at this stall? This guy is hilarious.” Alice sighed, looking at Robin with a pitying expression.
“Maybe breaking off the engagement really hit him hard. That’s why he keeps lying and pretending to be someone he’s not.
“I think he’s just trying to prove himself to me to show me he can ‘live well’ and ‘be impressive.’
“But it’s pointless. We’re from different worlds. We’ll never be on the same level.”
“I mean, really. For him to pretend to own Villa One at Dawnspire Heights… how sad.
“There’s nothing I can do for someone so shallow. Watching him try so hard just makes me feel sorry for him.”
Zachary chuckled. “Alice, there’s no need to feel anything for a guy like that. Just sit back and enjoy the show.”
…
Meanwhile, Robin was standing over the stocky man, who looked up at him, trembling.
“D-Don’t… don’t come any closer. Don’t hit me again…”
Robin raised an eyebrow.
“Didn’t you say something about how you won’t get hurt if you don’t ask for it?
“It was me asking for it! It was all my fault!” The man stammered, begging for mercy.
He could tell that if he kept up his tough act, this young guy in front of him would beat him to a pulp.
Robin sneered. “Get lost.”
With a swift kick, he sent the man flying back seven or eight feet.
Robin’s kick sent the chubby man flying backward, landing hard 20 feet away.
After struggling to get up, the man scrambled to his feet and fled, fear replacing his initial bluster.
The crowd erupted in applause and laughter.
“Good job! Well done!”
“Young man, that was impressive!”
“Someone needs to teach thugs like him a lesson!”
“Hey, buddy. Are you a professional fighter?”
“At first, I thought you’d be in trouble!”
“Young man, that guy you just hit is trouble around here. Be careful, he might come back for revenge.
His name’s Tucker Holmes, and nobody messes with him. They say his brother works for Dawnspire Security Company-those guys are serious.”
“Yeah. No one around here dares cross him. He’s got connections with Mr. Barrett at Dawnspire Security.”
“You should probably get going. It looks like it’s your first time at this stall, so don’t hang around too long and risk more trouble.”
Robin gave a faint smile, not bothered at all.
The girl in the plaid skirt walked up to him, gratitude written on her face. “Thank you for helping me.”
Robin noticed the crumpled resume in her hands. “Hurry up and print another copy. You should still have time.”
The girl shook her head. “I think I’m already too late.
“The Dunn Group has tons of applicants, all with really impressive resumes.
“Even if I rush over now, I doubt I’ll get the job.”
Robin looked her in the eye, his expression steady. “How can you be so sure if you don’t even try?
“Go now, and you might actually succeed.”
She hesitated, then smiled shyly. “Alright, I’ll take your advice and give it a shot.”
After a pause, her cheeks turned slightly pink, but she boldly continued, “My name’s Rosalie Grant. Could I add you on WhatsApp? If I get the job, I’d love to treat you to a meal!” Robin smiled faintly. “It’s no big deal. Don’t worry about it. Just go to your interview.”
“But…” She hesitated again. “I just… really want to thank you. Can’t I treat you to dinner sometime?”
Robin shook his head. “No need. If we’re meant to meet again, we will.”
Disappointed, Rosalie gave him one last look.
Seeing that he was serious about not exchanging contact information, she reluctantly gave up.
As she walked away, she felt a strange feeling growing in her heart.
She knew she was attractive-certainly not breathtaking, but beautiful enough.
At school and even after entering the workforce, men often went out of their way to ask for her contact info.
But this man who had helped her just now shrugged it off as nothing.
And when she tried to add him on WhatsApp, he refused.
He really was… different.
Watching Robin’s clear, unbothered gaze, Rosalie could tell he wasn’t putting on an act.
She sighed and walked toward the bus stop.
In the car, Alice watched with a smirk.
“Robin, even if you’re refusing other girls because of me, don’t expect me to be moved by it.
“You’ll never understand. We’re from two completely different worlds.”
After Rosalie left, Robin finally reached the front of the line.
He ordered four doughnuts, four pancakes, and a bowl of hash browns, then got an extra order to bring back for Vera.
Robin had just settled down to enjoy his hard-won breakfast.
He’d only managed a few bites when he noticed Tucker storming back across the street.
And this time, he wasn’t alone.
A
group of seven or eight tough-looking characters followed close behind, their expressions promising trouble. Clearly, Tucker hadn’t let things go.
He was back for revenge, and he’d brought backup.
Pointing at Robin, Tucker barked to the lead thug, “Jasper, that’s the punk who hit me. Teach him a lesson!”
Jasper, a hulking brute, sized up Robin’s slim frame with a sneer. “This guy? He’s the one who took you down?” Tucker spat, “Don’t underestimate him, Jasper. The punk’s got moves; he’s trained.”
“Trained?” Jasper scoffed. “Doesn’t mean squat. Real power is what matters.”
Tucker curled his lip and gestured at Robin. “Hey, tough guy! Let’s see you act all big and bad now!”
Jasper stepped forward, glaring at Robin. “Someone like you? I could break you with one punch.
“I’ve been out on the streets with Mr. Barrett for years, and I’ve rarely seen anyone as weak as you. “Honestly, beating you up would be embarrassing.
“But if you grovel at my feet and beg for mercy, I might just consider letting you off easy.”
The crowd at the stall began murmuring in concern.
The name “Jasper Dean” was well-known in this area.
He was always dropping Logan’s name, reminding everyone that the head of Dawnspire Security was his boss.
He built his reputation by constantly bragging about his past with Logan.
This association with the infamous Logan allowed him to gather a crew and intimidate others in the area.
Essentially, he was using Logan’s fame to make a name for himself.
The small-time thugs around here were all eager to work for Jasper, largely because of his supposed connection to Logan.
Of course, the reality was that Logan had no idea who Jasper was.
“Tucker, once I’ve knocked this guy out, send me the two thousand dollars you promised,” Jasper said with a smug grin.
He then patted Tucker on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be over in seconds!”
Now the onlookers were really starting to worry.
Robin had managed to take down Tucker on his own, but this was different.
How could he take on a whole gang?
Plus, the rumors said Jasper was backed by Logan.
Crossing Logan was a bad idea, especially with Violetcrest International backing him.
It could lead to serious trouble.
In Harmonfield, Violetcrest International was a force to be reckoned with, practically untouchable.
Someone in the crowd spoke up, trying to warn Robin.
“Young man, just go. Otherwise, you’re going to get hurt. Jasper here is one of Mr. Barrett’s guys.”
“Yeah, buddy, you’ve messed with the wrong people. Don’t try to take them on.”
“These guys are the local bullies around here.”
“They walk all over everyone because they think Mr. Barrett is their big boss.”
…
Robin glanced at the well-meaning bystanders and gave a small nod. “It’s fine. I’ve got a habit of beating up thugs.”
Jasper strode over to Robin and kicked over his table.
“Think you’re tough, huh? Messing with my crew? You got a death wish!
“Two grand. Get on your knees and hand it over. Then maybe, just maybe, I’ll let you walk away. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise? Otherwise what?” Robin sneered, and with one swift kick, he sent Jasper flying.
“D*mn it! I can’t even eat a doughnut without running into some pests!”
He glanced down. “Now, lick up the hash browns and doughnuts off the ground!”
Jasper was sprawled on the pavement, stunned by Robin’s kick.
Tucker was frozen in shock as well.
He hadn’t expected Jasper to be taken down before he even had a chance to fight back.
The crowd around Robin immediately backed away, fearful that the fight would escalate and pull them in.
A wave of fear washed over the onlookers as they witnessed a chilling sight.
Jasper’s seven or eight thugs had brandished their knives, the gleaming blades catching the light.
They stood poised, ready to unleash a flurry of steel upon Robin at any moment.
No matter how good a fighter Robin was, there was no way he could take on a group of knife-wielding thugs. Some of the people who had previously advised Robin to walk away started to chuckle at his predicament. “Sigh, that kid’s too cocky. He just doesn’t listen to reason. Some people only learn when they hit a wall.” “Heh, young people these days, so clueless.”
“You guys just don’t get it. If he’s standing his ground, he must have the skills to back it up. Clearly, he’s not afraid of these thugs.”
…
The crowd was divided in their opinions.
To them, it didn’t really matter who won.
They were just here to watch the drama unfold.
None of them would step in to help Robin, even though he’d intervened to help someone else.
“Quit hyping him up! Tucker’s crew are seasoned fighters and they brawl with knives all the time.”
“Yeah, look at that kid. He’s tall and skinny. No way he can take on all of them.”
“True enough. Compared to those thugs, the kid doesn’t have much of a presence.”
Watching from a distance, Alice and Zachary exchanged a look and shared a smug grin.
Alice shook her head with disdain. “Honestly, seeing Robin like this just makes me speechless.
“He’s a grown man, yet all he does is fight, fight, fight.
“People from the lower class only know how to use their fists, never their brains.
“Let’s go. I don’t want to watch this anymore. Just seeing him act like this makes me sick.”
However, Zachary was still intrigued.
“Hold on, Alice. I want to see how this turns out.
“I just love watching this guy make a fool of himself. Haha…
“Robin’s either causing trouble or on his way to cause it!
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s only stirring things up because he knows we’re watching.”
Alice nodded, “Of course he knows.
“He saw our car back at Dawnspire Heights.
“If he didn’t know I was watching, maybe he wouldn’t be acting so recklessly right now.
“He’s just putting on a show for me, trying to look brave. Ha…
“I don’t believe he can take on a dozen men by himself.”
“Did you hear Jasper? He said he works for Logan.
“I’d like to see if Robin would dare to make a move if Logan himself showed up.”
Zachary scoffed. “Who knows? This guy’s reckless enough to try anything.
“Honestly, Alice, he must really be in love with you-lovesick, even.
“Don’t worry too much about it, Alice. Just go through with the engagement and be done with it.”
Alice gave him a playful slap on the arm. “Stop talking nonsense! I’d never be with someone as low-class as Robin.
“Being with someone so uncivilized would be a nightmare!”
While Alice and Zachary mocked Robin from a distance, Jasper’s gang of thugs had already started swinging their knives at him.
Yet, after a chaotic flurry of strikes, they were shocked to realize they hadn’t even touched him.
Instead, a few of them had accidentally injured each other.
They had assumed that with their numbers and weapons, taking down an unarmed man would be easy.
But despite their best efforts, they hadn’t managed to lay a finger on Robin.
Watching from a distance, Tucker was flabbergasted.
The onlookers, who had expected Robin to be covered in cuts by now, watched in awe.
But Robin moved calmly among the flashing blades as if he were strolling in a park.
It was like the knives and threats were nothing but thin air.
“What… what’s going on?”
“How are they not hitting him?”
“All these guys are swinging at him, but it’s like nothing’s happening. He’s walking around as if they’re not even there.”
“Amazing…
“1
The crowd buzzed with shock.
To them, the scene was surreal.
A single person surrounded by seven or eight knife-wielding thugs …
Even if he didn’t fight back, the intimidation alone should be overwhelming.
Had they just seen a phantom?
Jasper and his men swung their blades for a full two or three minutes.
By the end, they were all panting and drenched in sweat, but they still hadn’t touched Robin.
Robin shook his head with a smirk. “Tough guys? Please. Keep playing this game, and you’ll end up dead in a ditch.”
It was a blatant insult.
The thugs, now exhausted and humiliated, gritted their teeth and launched one last desperate attack.
But again, they achieved nothing.
After another few minutes, they were completely spent, gasping for air and too tired to keep going.
From his vantage point, Tucker was starting to panic.
Jasper’s men were some of the best he knew.
And yet, after all this, they hadn’t even scratched Robin. They’d only managed to wear themselves out.
He stared at Robin’s calm expression. A cold sweat formed on his forehead.
Had they run into a real master?
If that were the case, things were about to get ugly.
The thought sent a chill down Tucker’s spine, and he instinctively took a few steps back.
Seeing that Jasper’s gang was exhausted, Robin grinned.
“Now that you’re all out of steam, it’s my turn.”
In a flash, he darted forward. Before Jasper and his men knew what was happening, each of them was struck down, clutching their chests as they crumpled to the ground. They writhed in pain, gasping for air.
Meanwhile, the crowd continued to speculate about whether Robin would survive this confrontation.
But the fight was over.
Robin had won decisively with an overwhelming display of skill.
“My God… I think we just witnessed a true master in action!”
“This young man is incredible. No wonder he looked so calm the whole time.”
“That was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in my life.”
…
The crowd gaped at the scene, completely awestruck by Robin’s abilities.
None of them had actually seen how he’d taken Jasper’s gang down.
A few young office workers were practically bowing to Robin in admiration.
“This guy is amazing! He took down a whole group of armed thugs by himself!”
“I’d love to get to know him. Think he’d give us the time of day?”
The people who had believed in Robin from the start stood a little taller, pounding their chests proudly as if they’d fought alongside him.
“See? Told you he’d come out on top! Now you know what a real fighter looks like!”
“Exactly, you called it. You’ve got a good eye!”
“This young man… he’s something else! He’s definitely a master!”
But in the distance, Alice frowned in annoyance, her brows knitted.
“Alright, I’ll admit it-he’s pretty good.
“I thought he’d get a good beating from those guys. But every time, he manages to come out on top. It’s unbelievable.”
Zachary scoffed. “He’s just strong, that’s all. At most, he’s suited to be a thug himself.”
Alice sneered, her eyes flashing with disdain. “Let’s go. Watching this brute is disgusting.”
“Wait a second, didn’t Jasper say he works for Logan?” Zachary’s interest was still piqued.
“Let’s stay and see what happens if Logan actually shows up. I’d love to see how Robin handles that.”
Vera scrambled into the car, afraid that Robin would drive off without her.
“Ugh, seriously? My shoe heel broke, and you can’t even help me out a bit?”
Robin shot a glance at her bare foot, raising an eyebrow “Why are you still wearing the other shoe?”
“Uh!” Vera frozen for a moment and looked down at her feet.
This guy doesn’t care that I’ve been walking barefoot in this cold. Instead of showing some concern, he points out something so trivialt That the heck!
Doesn’t my beauty even slightly attract you?
“Ah!” Realizing this, Vera suddenly shouted.
She was nearly losing it and flung off her other shoe in frustration.
Robin shrugged. “You sure have a temper.”
With a stomp on the gas, he sped toward Ridge Road’s Four Seas Entertainment World.
Vera exhaled sharply, comforting herself that getting upset with this kind of guy only hurt herself.
“Hey, there’s an Oasis Plaza across from the Four Seas Entertainment World.”
Robin glanced over at Vera. “What are you getting at?”
She pointed at her shoe. “I mean, I can’t show up at Knox’s place wearing your man shoes, right?
“By the time we arrive, it’ll probably be close to lunchtime.
“We should buy a pair of shoes first before heading to the Davidsons’s Entertainment World. Robin nodded. “Sounds good. I’m not keen on dragging around a woman wearing slippers.” Just then, his phone rang-it was Shirley,
“Robin, tomorrow morning, the Dunn Group is holding the on-site signing event for the Eastvale Ecological Project. You’ve got to be there.”
I’m not getting involved with your Dunn Group business,” Robin replied flatly.
Shirley continued, “We’ve established an Eastside Project Development Company, and I’ve announced you as the president

“But you have to do this, President.”
“Why? Are you doing this to make me look good? There’s really no need!” Robin replied with a smile.

“I’m under so much pressure right now. After my father got sick, I took over the Dunn Group, and it’s been chaotic.

Robin hesitated, “Well… alright. But I’m not going to sit around in an office every day, and I won’t deal with boring business stuff.
Shirley chuckled quietly. “Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of freedom. You’ll just need to show your face at some necessary occasions-like tomorrow’s board meeting; just be there for a bit.” Robin pondered momentarily before agreeing, “Fine, since it’s that simple, I’ll be there on time.
“Wait, don’t hang up yet. I have one more thing.” Shirley said, taking a deep breath.
“Are you free tonight? Come over for dinner. My grandfather wants to invite you over.” Robin almost said no.
But realizing that Drake likely invited him for Timothy’s health issues, he replied, “Okay, but I might be a little late.
Shirley sounded genuinely happy on the other end, her voice brightening. “Great! I’ll be waiting for you tonight.” Listening to her sweet voice, Robin felt his grip on the steering wheel tremble slightly.
Wow, this woman has such a lovely voice!
Am I really trembling?
Looks like women can really affect my composure!
“Wow!” Vera observed the entire phone call, astonished
“Ms. Dunn actually invited you to be the president of the Dunn Group’s Eastvale Development Group!

Hey, Robin, what are you thinking? The Four Seas Entertainment World is ahead, and there’s ans underground parking lot diagonally across Vera reminded him
At that moment, Robin received a message from the Dark Web Intelligence Center
“Tracker, the assassin of the Rivers family from Sakurania, Gage Harlan and Weston Slare, disciples of the Northern Star Sword School”
“They’ve been monitored by the Draconia security department upon entry
Assassin from the Rivers family!
Looks like these two are here because of the Soul-Eating Charm on Daphne
After parking in the garage, Vera, still in her slippers, followed Robin into the women’s shoe section on the
first floor of Oasis Plaza.
Robin was Jost in thought about the two assassins from the Rivers family when Alice approached him, blocking his path.
“Robin, are you for real? You’re like a shadow, always showing up wherever I am.
“Back at the Miller Group building, I clearly told you we’re not on the same level anymore. Our engagement is off, we’re going our separate ways”
Robin looked at Alice and Zachary, shook his head, and chuckled lightly, too lazy to engage with them further. He simply tried to walk past.
Vera rushed to explain, “Alice, you’re overthinking this. Robin is just here to buy shoes with me. What a coincidence.”
“Vera, don’t make excuses for him. There are plenty of places to buy shoes; why come to Oasis Plaza?” Alice scoffed.
“You know we’re meeting Mr. Hamilton at the Mugshot Cafe in the Oasis Plaza, right? You followed us on purpose, didn’t you? Hat
“I absolutely detest men who cling on like this!”
“Oh, come on! He’s really not here to chase after you,” Vera shook her head in frustration.

Alice looked infuriated, taking two steps forward to block Robin again.

her.
Not wanting to waste breath on this foolish woman, Robin tried to sidestep her, but Alice blocked his path.
“Robin, let me remind you again-a man should know his place!”
“Get lost!” Robin shoved past Alice. “You’re really quite sick!”
“Miss, don’t be upset! I’ve got you covered, let’s go have some fun!” A group of four or five burly men closed in around Alice, pulling her along.
Alice was momentarily stunned, shouting. “Mr. Gill! Vera!”
Vera quickly nudged Zachary, “You have to stop them!
Zachary was also dumbfounded.
He knew these guys were from the Abyssal Dominion, Shawn Cooper’s crew!
He still hadn’t paid off the debt he owed them.
“Vera, they… they’re the Devil’s people!” Zachary said in a panic.
“Well, we still have to stop them!” Vera dragged Zachary and rushed in front of them. “You guys stop! Let her go!”
“Damn! We’re having a lucky day today, haha! Come on, let’s take this lady along too!” One of the guys with yellow hair was Brody Steele. He leered at Vera, an indecent grin spreading across his face.
Chapter 59 Saving Face; Losing Ground
Vera struggled to shake off Brody
“Let go of me! I swear, if you lay a finger on us today, the Devil will chop you to pieces!”
Brody paused, surprised that this woman knew Shawn’s name.
But then he laughed, thinking, how could Shawn possibly know someone like her?
“Ha! Nice try, trying to scare me. Go ahead and call him. Let’s see if he even picks up for you!”
He shoved his phone in front of Vera, displaying Shawn’s number.
“Go on, just hit send, and you’ll connect with Mr. Cooper”

Seeing the situation before her, Vera realized that without Robin stepping in, there was no way out of this.
Seeing the nervous expressions on Vera and the others, Brody concluded that what Vera had said earlier was just meant to confuse him. He pressed the call button for Shawn himself.
On the other end, the Devil’s deep voice came through, “What’s going on? Brody, what the hell are you. calling me for in the middle of the day?
Brody quickly started buttering him up. “Mr. Cooper, I know you’ve been resting and feeling bored lately, so I thought I’d bring you a couple of pretty girls to chat with. This one says she knows you. Just wanted to confirm.
He grinned at Vera, “Why don’t you say a few words to Mr. Cooper? Didn’t you say you knew him? Do you think you
can bluff me! Let’s go. You’re coming back with me to serve Mr. Cooper! Or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”
A few of his buddies moved in to grab Vera and Alice, trying to pull them away.
In a panic, Vera shouted, “Robin, aren’t you going to come help us?”
Robin had no intention of getting involved.
But thinking about how Vera came here with him, he felt a bit responsible.
He turned and walked up to Brody, snatched the phone away, and said into the mic.
“The Devil, huh? This is Robin. Are you looking to die?
On the other end, the Devil’s tone changed instantly. “Mr. Ramsey, I had no idea it was you! Don’t worry. I’ll handle this right away!”
Robin tossed the phone back into Brody’s lap, “Tell Devil to be at the Four Seas Entertainment World in an hour. If he’s even a minute late, I’ll take his life!”
With that, he turned and walked into the lobby.

On the other end, the Devil shouted, “What the hell. Body? Are you trying to get me killed? Let them go.
At that moment, Elam walked in from outside the lobby
“My Call, Ms. Miller, you got here first. I’ve got something to take care of. Wait for me at the coffee shop on thur second floor in ten minutes?
After saving that, he hurried inside with a few bodyguards.
Now wearing a smile, Brody said, “Sorry, this is all a misunderstanding. Ladies, my apologies for the trouble”
With that, he took off running from Oasis Plaza.
Alice stood there momentarily, taking a long breath as she admired Liam’s retreating figure until he disappeared into the elevator.
“Thank goodness Mr. Hamilton showed up in time, or it would’ve been a real mess.”
Zachary puffed up with pride. “Of course! Mr. Hamilton’s name carries weight in Harmonfield. What’s the Devil compared to him?”
“Let’s hurry to the coffee shop; Mr. Hamilton’s time is valuable,” Alice said, glancing at the time and pulling Zachary toward the elevator.
“Wait a minute! Robin just saved us, and no one even said thank you?” Vera complained, glaring at Alice’s
hack
Alice paused, looking toward Robin in the distance, scoffing, “Vera, you’re giving him too much credit. Do you really think the Devil let us go just because of Robin’s name?
“If Mr. Hamilton hadn’t shown up, you think the Devil’s guys would have let us off the hook? Please, he’s nothing!”
Vera was left speechless. “Fine, if that’s how you feel.”
Alice noticed Vera’s blank expression and shook her head. “Vera, you’re too far gone. Wake up! One day, when Robin sells you off, you won’t even see it coming “Ugh, you should mind your own business.”
With that, she shot one last disappointed glance at Vera and sighed, dragging Zachary toward the elevator.
Vera glared at the two of them and muttered,
Are you blind or what? Fine, fine, think what you want!”
After a brief moment of irritation, Vera felt her mood brighten again.
Alice, I might’ve missed this opportunity if you weren’t so clueless!

She dashed off in Robin’s direction, “Robin, wait up
After buying a pair of shoes and checking the time, Ver pointed upstairs, “You’re treating me to dinner. I know this food court has tons of delicious food”
Rohm gave her a puzzled look. “I’m not really into treading people to meals”
Vera froze for a moment. Why does he always have to run the mood? It drives me crazy!
She glared at him, thinking, you’re living in that fancy villa at Dawnspire Peak, and yet you’re so stingy
Seriously? Is that how rich people save their money?
“Fine, you win. I’ll treat you! Damn it!”
They reached the food court on the third floor.
Just as they walked in, a girl’s voice came from behind them.
“Hey, what a coincidence! Running into you again? I was just thinking when I could invite you to dinner.
Robin turned to see
young two
women.
One of them was Rosalie, the girl in the plaid dress he’d met at the doughnut stall that morning, and she looked thrilled to see him.
t
The other girl, around the same age, had a wary and disdainful look in her eyes.
Robin smiled and nodded. “Yeah, it really is a coincidence.”
Rosalie quickly introduced, “This is my classmate, Piper Dawson.”
Then, she pulled Piper closer. This is the guy I told you about, the one I ran into this morning.”
Piper scanned Robin without a hint of expression, glancing at Vera’s still-untaken slipper, and gave a dismissive nod.
Rosalie cheerfully said, “Robin, let me treat you to lunch today.”
Before Robin could respond, Piper interrupted, “Rosalie, what are you talking about?
“Connor will be here soon. He won’t be happy if he sees us eating with low-class people.
“Connor Whitman is the group leader of the sales department at the Dunn Development Company. He hates mingling with people outside his circle.
Rosalie glanced nervously at Robin and whispered to Piper, “Really? Plus, Robin might not be who you think he is.”
Piper let out a dismissive snort. “Wasting all that time waiting in line just to buy a cheap breakfast-what wealthy person or white-collar elite would be so careless with their time? “Besides, how do you know he’s not just pretending to be a hero to get close to you?

“Piper, you’re overthinking it Rosalie said, her mouth agape in shock, unsure how to respond
She already knew that Piper’s dream was to marry into wealth.
That’s why she had always put in a lot of effort.
And she was meticulously crafting her image.
But she didn’t have to think so lowly of others, did she?
Upon hearing Piper’s words, Robin and Vera were equally taken aback and turned to look at her.
The girl was indeed stunning, but she wasn’t as exceptional as she portrayed herself to be.
It wasn’t like every man in the world was scheming to impress her.
Vera couldn’t help but sigh.
The president of the Eastvale Development Company under the Dunn Group was right before her, and she was worried about him ruining her friend’s lunch?
The friend she idolized didn’t even have the right to carry Robin’s shoes!
Seriously? I can’t stand your stupidity!
Robin didn’t want to engage with them any further, so he nodded at Rosalie and headed deeper into the food court.
“Wait up, Robin! I really want to treat you to lunch.” Rosalie called, quickening her pace to catch up. Piper held her back. “Rosalie, he’s playing hard to get. He’s acting like he doesn’t care but is not as indifferent as he seems. There are plenty of guys like that.” Rosalie looked at Robin’s retreating figure, murmuring, No way?”
lously? You’re such a naive girl: it’s easy for you to get fooled!” Piper rolled her eyes at her and gazed at Robin’s disappearing form, her eyes filled with contempt.
Vera thought to herself, you just missed a big opportunity and think you’re so clever!
You’re such an idiot!
The food court was burching a bunchtime, filled with office workers, shoppers, and businesspeople from the areallenger to grab a bite.
Vera harmed to catch up with Robin. The few private booths in the food court were all occupied, so they serded at a window-side table in the main dining area. Verandered a hash spread of dishes and watched as Robin immediately started digging in. “So, how do

Robin was even more confused. “So you’ve been cursing me in your head?”

Robin was momentarily speechless, staring at her flushed cheeks and frantic eyes. “You must have mething else on your mind!”

“What the- Vera huffed, snatching the last big fried chicken from Robin’s plate and taking a big bite.
“That’s mine! Robin exclaimed as he watched her steal his fried chicken. He retaliated by grabbing a fried chicken from her plate, plus a fried potato, for good measure.
“That’s mine!” Vera exclaimed, momentarily dazed. “Why are you being so stingy?”
“Who told you to steal my fried chicken?” Robin bit into his portion with gusto.
Rosalie, Piper, and Connor passed by and witnessed the scene.
Rosalie burst out laughing. “Haha!”
Vera paused, glaring at Robin, muttering. “You guys, fighting over a fried chicken!”
Rosalie rushed to the counter and ordered a fried chicken for each of them.
Piper glared at Robin from a distance, rolling her eyes. “Seriously? He’s fighting a girl over a fried chicken?”
At their table nearby, Rosalie sat with Piper and Connor Robin and Vera waved at Rosalie, thanking her for the fried chicken.
Piper shot Rosalie a disapproving look. “Are you stupid? Why are you treating them? You’re still seeking job: why are you so generous?
Rosalie stuck out her tongue. “I owe him for saving me this morning. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what would’ve happened.”
“That man you’re talking about-just look at him! Is that really the kind of hero who stands up for others? He’s fighting with a woman over a fried chicken; what kind of future does he have?”
Piper shot Robin a disdainful glance. “Besides, that whole scene this morning might have been a show he put on himself! You fool!”
Rosalie whispered, “No way, Piper. He isn’t as pathetic as you think.”
“What’s going on?” Connor asked, looking puzzled. “What are you guys talking about?”
Piper recounted the story of Rosalie buying youtiao that morning, scoffing, ‘Connor, tell me, what kind of future can a man have if he’s willing to wait in line for over ten minutes just for a few bucks’ worth of doughnut?” Connor nodded along. “A guy who would queue for a cheap breakfast doesn’t seem that ambitious.” Rosalie looked uncertain. “But what if they’re dating? Isn’t it normal to tease each other?
“Plus, he really did save me this morning. How could he possibly stage that?” she defended.
Piper let out a cold smile. “Of course, he wouldn’t go through all that trouble for someone like you.” “Didn’t I tell you? He’s definitely trying to get close to you to catch my attention!

Now that Piper had reached out to him regarding a potion at the Eastvale Development Company under the Dunn Group, he was more than willing to help.
“It’s nothing special. Thanks to my work performance might be promoted to team leader of the sales
group soon.”
Connor said excitedly. “The team leader told me that on the first day the development company is
nounced, I might even get to meet the president!”
“Oh, Connor, you’re amazing!” Rosalie exclaimed.
“I’m just a bit slow; I’m not sure if I can even get into a big company like the Dunn Group.
Talmost ran late for my interview today.
“I could tell the interviewer was unhappy, so I’m afraid I won’t get to work with you, Connor.
Luckily, Piper helped me out a lot with the interviewer, and that’s how my resume got accepted.”
Piper shot her a sideways glance. “Seriously, you’re so careless with everything! How could you delay such an important thing? Can’t you just come for the interview before grabbing breakfast? Honestly Connor chuckled. “It’s okay; when the time comes, I’ll talk to the HR interviewer and tell them you’re my friend. That should work,”
Rosalie beamed. “Connor, what do you like to cat? I’ll treat you today!”
“Uh?” Connor stammered. “Let’s split the bill; that’s how it’s done nowadays.”
“That’s too embarrassing, Connor! I really want to treat you!” Rosalie insisted.
“Rosalie, don’t do that! Just follow what he said and split the bill, Piper said with a hint of disdain in her eyes, though she kept a smile on her face.
In her opinion, since Connor liked her so much, he should definitely be the one treating her. Besides, he was the only man there and the only one already earning a salary!
Rosalie reluctantly agreed.
Robin and Vera walked by after finishing their lunch.
“Rosalie, thanks for the fried chicken! Enjoy your meal! Vera greeted them.
Rosalie quickly stood up with a smile. “Robin, if I get the chance, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

“With this card, you can enjoy one free meal every weekend.
“Additionally, we’ll set aside a special table for you. So whenever you visit, there will always be a place for

After the waitress left, Rosalie was still in shock.
A 2800 king crab set meal, a VIP card for free meals every weekend and a reserved table!
What kind of treatment was this?
For someone like Rosalie, who came from a humble background, she had never experienced such luxury.
Beside her, Piper and Connor were equally astonished,
At that moment, Robin’s gesture made him seem like a wealthy heir.
“Ha, he really knows how to show off, huh?” Connor chuckled awkwardly, his face burning as he looked at the king crab set in front of Rosalie.
Piper’s eyes blazed with anger.
“Ugh! Men like that are disgusting!”
Rosalie quickly said, “Piper, don’t be mad. Let’s share this meal together.”
“Ha, I wouldn’t touch that disgusting stuff!”
Piper said, “Connor, Rosalie, can’t you see?

Piper let out a cold laugh. “You really need to think this through!”

“It’s clear he’s just trying to get a rise out of me!
“Earlier, when Connor said he was in a low position at the Dunns, Robin immediately turned and left..
“His behavior shows he feels insecure. He doesn’t want to admit his lowly position before me.
“Then he goes and orders a king crab set meal, trying to catch my attention and leave a good impression.
“Men like that are really repulsive!”
Connor paused for a moment.
Tie was surprised by what Piper had said, but he nodded in agreement.
Rosalie was completely stunned.
She just couldn’t understand why Piper had such a strong prejudice against Robin.
“Piper, do you think you’re reading too much into this
“I don’t think he even knows you.”
Piper huffed. “I’ve seen plenty of men like him! Who knows, he might have been planning this all along.”
“Piper, the girl with Robin, seems really pretty and classy.”
Rosalie almost mentioned that Vera was more attractive than Piper, but she held her tongue.
Piper shook her head, a look of disdain in her eyes.
“That girl? Ha! She was out shopping, wearing those tacky shoes. What kind of status do you think she has?
“She’s just a sloppy, bottom-tier girl!
“Only someone like that would hang around a guy like Robin.”
After taking a phone call, Connor said, “Piper, Rosalie, let’s not eat here. I’ll take you to the Four Seas Entertainment Bar across the street.
I’ll also introduce you to some friends in the circle.”
Rosalie glanced at the king crab set in front of her and said apologetically, “Connor, I think I’ll pass. I’m not really used to that kind of bar environment.”
