“What’s going on. Catherine? Could it be that you’ve got your eye on him? I’ve noticed you keep looking
his way.
“Not bad taste, honestly. He’s got that charm.
Catherine’s cheeks turned red as she lightly smacked Wendy on the back. “Stop it! It’s not like that. I was Just curious.
Wendy laughed. “Come on, you know as they say what’s meant for you can’t be taken away, and what isn’t yours can’t be forced.
“Anyway, I recently bought some cute outfits. Let’s go check them out! If you like any, you can pick something for yourself.
“I don’t enjoy looking at clothes, Catherine remarked, her gaze still lingering in Robin’s direction. Only when he and Joanna walked off separately did she pout and turn toward Wendy.
“Come on. Catherine.” Wendy nudged her. “If you like that guy, you should try to dress up. Guys love it when girls look pretty and well put together.”
Catherine finally grinned. “Fine, but if I want something, you can’t be stingy about it!”
She looked back at Robin and Joanna, who were walking away.
Linking arms with Catherine, Wendy chuckled. “Don’t worry, you’ll see him again soon. What’s meant for you will always find you!”
Robin exited the restroom and. Noticing it was still early, he took a stroll toward the manor’s beautifully carved wooden walkway.
Quintana Manor was designed with meticulous attention to detail, with peaks and valleys that gave it the grandeur of a mountain landscape.
Not far along. he heard a disturbance coming from a nearby grove.
“Let go of me! If you don’t, I’ll scream!”
Robin immediately turned cold–Joanna was in trouble.
“Are you a student from Brighton University? Hahaha, you look good! You’re the best–looking woman lye
ever seen!
“Don’t be scared, miss. Just come with me, I’ll take good care of you!”
Aman in his late 20s, with slicked–back hair and a powdered face, was surrounded by several bodyguards. They comered Joanna and grabbed her
She never imagined she’d find herself in this situation, simply tying to deliver some software. It seemed like beauty always met trouble.

Many times, she cursed her looks. That was why she tried to dress as simply as possible in her daily life! But even the plainest clothes couldn’t hide her striking beauty
Nervously, she glanced at the men closing in on her. “Please don’t do anything foolish! I’m just here to drop off some documents at Quintana Manor. Show some respect!”
The man laughed loudly. “Respect Where’s the need for that?”
Joanna’s face flushed with anger, her voice shaky. “If you don’t stop bothering me. I’ll scream for help!”
“Go ahead” Hahaha, I’d love to hear it!”
The man laughed maniacally. Tm Wesley Judd, and my sister’s engaged to Maverick. Do you think anyone will care about you?”
He continued with a grin. “Leaving aside the Quintanas. Do you know about the Judds? I’m the heir.
“If you scream, no one will care. The best choice for you is to come with me.
“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you. I’ll treat you well!
“Isn’t this like the part–time jobs you university students do? You’ll come with me for a while, and I’ll pay you a million. A sum you’d never make in a lifetime.”
Joanna looked around for a chance to run, but Wesley’s men blocked every escape route.
Think you can leave the manor? Wesley smirked. “Try it, and I’ll say you stole something. You’ll kicked out of university and probably beaten by the staff here.”

He leaned closer. Tm Maverick’s brother–in–law. Even if I force myself on you, no one will care. Let’s head to the hot spring. I’m sure you’ll love it!
“Leave me alone” Joanna struggled to break free, but the guards held her tightly. She couldn’t escape
Wesley grabbed her hand, his grip tight. “Your hands are so soft,” he remarked.
Joanna desperately yelled for help, ‘Help! Somebody help me
Wesley smirked. “Even if you scream, no one will listen Just come with me to the hot spring. You’ll enjoy
Just then, a few staff from Quintana Manor passed by. Seeing the scene, they recognized Wesley and quickly lowered their heads, walking away.
Wesley smiled at Joanna, pointing to the staff. “See? No one cares about this. Don’t worry. After our bath, I’ll get you some expensive clothes. Your cheap outfit doesn’t suit you”
“Get lost!” Joanna suddenly pulled out a pen and pressed it to her neck. “If you don’t let go, I’ll die right

Wesley was shocked, then chuckled. “You’re tough, aren’t you? Do you think you’re special? Women like you are rate but I’m used to this

“Get away from me! You scoundrell!” Joanna shouted, fury in her eyes, and pressed the pen harder into her neck, blood starting to trickle out. “If you don’t move, I’ll die right here!”

Tears filled Joanna’s eyes as she gritted her teeth. “You’re all trash! Fine, I’ll show you!”
Wait! Robin stepped forward.
Joanna’s face lit up, and she cried out in relief. “Mr. Ramsey
Wesley turned to look at Robin and Ferell. “Who are you?
Robin’s tone was cold. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is you’ve messed with the wrong person. Ferell, handle it!”

“How dare you interfere with my business?” Wesley was taken aback. “Do you know who I am? Get lost, or else-
Before he could finish, Ferell dashed toward him. With a single swipe, he sent Wesley flying across the ground.
Joanna rushed to Robin’s side, her face filled with concern. “Mr. Ramsey, he’s Mr. Maverick’s brother–in- law. If you do this, it could offend the Quintanas.
I’ll speak to General Quintana and explain the situation. I don’t want you to get caught up in this.”
“It’s fine.” Robin replied coolly. “Even if General Quintana is unreasonable, I can handle it.”
Seeing their master lying on the ground, several of the Judd’s bodyguards rushed forward. But they were no match for Ferell’s combat skills. In moments, all of them were knocked out cold.
The noise of the fight drew the attention of guests in the nearby banquet hall. When they saw Wesley lying on the ground, they immediately recognized him as Maverick’s future brother–in–law.
Did someone actually dare to teach Wesley a lesson here at Quintana Manor?
Either Robin didn’t know Wesley’s identity, or he was someone important.
They observed Robin and began to whisper.
“Who is this guy? He looks kind of familiar, doesn’t he?”
“We don’t have anyone like that in Brighton’s high society. Could he be a bodyguard?”
“Wait, he actually hit Mr. Maverick’s future brother–in–law! This situation is going to end badly!”
“Absolutely! Mr. Maverick isn’t someone he can mess with!”
“He’s a tough fighter! In our Brighton elite circles, aside from Mr. Elliot, Mr. Maverick is probably the most skilled in combat.
“And to make a scene at the Quintana Residence? That’s practically asking for trouble!”
At that moment, Wesley slowly got up from the ground.
He touched his swollen check and the mouth where a few teeth were missing, pointing at Robin and Ferell while shouting. “You b’stard! How dare you hit me! If I don’t make you pay for this today, I’d be asGamed!”
Joanna was in a panic. “Mr. Ramsey, 1–I’ve caused trouble again. It’s my fault. I’ll apologize to him.” Robin stopped her. “How could you apologize to someone like him? He should be the one apologizing! “Since he’s still not satisfied, Ferell, give him another slap!”
Afsoon as Robin finished speaking. Ferell’s slap landed on Wesley’s face.
This time. Ferell didn’t send him flying. Instead, he grabbed Wesley’s collar and repeatedly slapped him, cach hit causing blood to flow.

Such a violent fight at a gathering hosted by the Quintanas was unheard of. The onlookers were stunned.
“Who is this guy? He’s bold enough to hit Wesley at the Quintana Residence! He’s not afraid of anything
“This isn’t just embarrassing the Judds‘ heir, it’s disrespecting the Quintanas!”
“Does he have any idea where he is? Starting trouble at the Quintanas‘ place is a huge mistake!”
“Stop it right now!” A sharp female voice came from the crowd.
vette rushed toward Ferell and screamed, “How dare you hit my brother! Do you even know who I am?
Maverick’s future wife!
“When he arrives, you’ll all leave here in pieces!”
As she spoke, she recognized Ferell and Robin.
“Oh, it’s you two b*stards! You want to die, huh? You hit my car earlier, and now you dare to sneak into the Quintana Manor?
“Get down on your knees and cut off your hands if you want me to consider forgiving you!”
Robin motioned for Ferell to stop..
Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Yvette. “Seems like your time has come. I had forgotten about this morning, but since you came here to die, so be it!”
Yvette scoffed coldly. “So cocky, huh? If you’ve got the guts, let’s see if you can make it to the end!”
“Is that so?” Robin grinned. “You’re trash. I doubt you can handle the consequences.”
“Are you threatening me?” Yvette pointed to a staff member. “Go get Tanner, the Quintanas‘ butler! Tell him I need him here.
“These two jerks are bothering me! I’ll make sure they die here!”
The waiter immediately ran off.
Joanna, terrified, realized that things were quickly getting out of hand.
The Quintanas weren’t to be trifled with. If Robin got into trouble with them, it would be her fault, and she would feel guilty for the rest of her life,
The crowd around them began to whisper.
“These guys are really in trouble now.”
Ms. Judd is Mr. Maverick’s fiancée, so she’s going to be the Quintanas‘ future hostess.”
“Offending her and her brother isn’t going to end well for them.”
“You all also heard that these guys already ran into Ms. Judd’s car, and now they’ve attacked her brother. They’re in deep trouble!”
Joanna heard the whispers and trembled in fear.

Robin didn’t expect her to suddenly step forward and say, “Ms. Judd, this is all a misunderstanding. I … I’m sorry. I’ll pay for your brother’s medical bills.”
Yvette raised an eyebrow and looked at Joanna. “Who are you? I heard it was because you were trying to seduce my brother that all this started!”
“It’s not like that. Please let me explain.” Joanna replied, “I was invited by Mr. Maverick to design a war game. I just happened to get caught up in this mess when I arrived.”
“Maverick? Would he invite someone like you?”
Wette, hearing Maverick’s name and looking at Joanna’s beauty and figure, felt a flash of jealousy and
hatred.
“You b*tch! You must have seduced a man all the way here to the Quintana Residence!
“This whole situation is your fault! You seduced my brother, and now look where we are!
“Drop your knees and slap yourself! Or I’ll strip you naked and let everyone see what kind of woman you
are!”
With that, Yvette wanted to slap Joanna.
Robin quickly stepped forward, grabbing Yvette’s wrist. “Want to hit her? If you’re looking for a way to die. I’ll help you!”
“How dare you! Let Ms. Judd go!” Tanner Quintana, the Quintanas‘ butler, had arrived with a group of guards and quickly approached Robin.

Instantly, dozens of guards from the Quintanas surrounded Robin and Ferell.
The onlookers instinctively backed away
Tanner, a man with a highly mysterious background, wasn’t someone to be underestimated.
Though he had never shown his skills in public, rumors suggested he was far from ordinary.
Word had it that he’d been rescued as a child by Casper from a battlefield littered with bodies, and he’d been trained in combat under Casper’s guidance.
The guards he trained were regarded as the finest security team in Brighton, and now they were standing by him to support Yvette.
A real showdown seemed inevitable.
Among the spectators were familiar faces from other clite families–Eithan and his sister, Kimberly Shaw, from the Southmere Residence, along with Trent from Centara Residence and Zayn and Michelle who arrived later.
Eithan observed that the conflict involved Robin and Joanna and showed a meaningful smile.
“Mr. Trent, what’s your take on this situation today?” he asked.
Trent thought briefly before responding, “I suppose it depends on how Mr. Maverick’s girlfriend will do.”
“Mr. Maverick’s girlfriend?” Eithan looked over at Yvette, who was currently being restrained by Robin. “So, you mean it’ll depend on whether Ms. Judd is willing to forgive him?”
Kimberly asked, “Eithan, who exactly is Robin? Isn’t he the one who clashed with the Fioris at Northern Plaza a while back?”
“Yes, that’s him,” Eithan replied, with a slight sneer. “Wherever he goes, there’s always trouble! I don’t understand how someone from such a low background acts so boldly.”
Zayn chimed in, laughing. “Robin does have skill, but as someone with no family connections, he’s overly hot–headed.
“He’s out of place among the upper class; he doesn’t get how to navigate our circles or show courtesy when it’s called for. He plays by his own rules.
“Just look at the incident with the Fioris at Northern Plaza–he’s made them into enemies, and thegl certainly seek payback at some point.”
Kimberly frowned. “From what I’ve heard, Jeb was trying to bully a girl, and Robin just stepped up protect her. Jeb brought this upon himself, honestly. He’s hurt so many girls over the years!
“Just because his family’s rich doesn’t mean he can trample over others, and the upper crust shouldn’t
accept that kind of behavior.
“Even though we’re close with the Fioris, I’m viewing this from an impartial lens. I agree Robin acted appropriately, but he just handled things a bit too ruthlessly in the end.”
Trent nodded. “Well said, Kimberly. There’s more to today’s clash than meets the eye.

Kimberly’s expression tightened. “I can’t stand it when people use their status to bully others for a few scraps. Being tough on them is the right approach!
“Wesley’s insufferable, and his sister Yvette is no better. I can’t imagine why Maverick has any interest in
her
Eithan hurriedly stopped Kimberly. “Watch what you say! We’re in the Quintana Residence. Don’t stir up trouble here!”
Kimberly rolled her eyes and muttered. “Fine, I’ll hold back. But I’m just being honest.”
Michelle snorted coldly. Anyway, Robin shouldn’t have touched Yvette. Once Maverick sees it, he’ll be furious. Even if Tanner doesn’t step in. Maverick certainly won’t forgive Robin for humiliating him like that by hurting his girlfriend.”
Zayn nodded. “But how Maverick reacts is anyone’s guess.”
Michelle looked puzzled. “You’re saying Maverick might let this slide? That’s unlikely. He’s got a short fuse.
“Remember how he and Elliott nearly tore each other apart during that last gathering? If Elliott’s grandfather hadn’t intervened, they could have seriously injured each other. There’s no way he’ll just overlook Robin attacking the Judds today.”
Zayn gave her a quick signal to quiet down as Tanner was about to make his move against Robin. Suddenly. Yvette yelled, Tanner! He hit my brother and me! He’s here to cause trouble! Kill them!” Her words left the crowd silent as everyone waited to see Tanner’s response.
Tanner looked at Robin–who was still gripping Yvette’s hand–and said coldly, “Release Ms. Judd, or I’ll
intervene
Robin raised an eyebrow and met Tanner’s gaze without concern. “Do you really want to go against me?”
Yvette struggled to break free. Tanner, have him killed! He even smashed my car in front of Maple Plaza! I was already looking for him, and now he’s here causing trouble with this woman. If you don’t act now. how will you explain this to Maverick?”
Tanner took a moment, sizing up who Robin might be. In his mind, anyone who managed to enter the Quintana Residence wasn’t just some random person.
Yet, after considering the elite families, he couldn’t place either Robin or Joanna among the noble heirs. Without connections to the prominent families. Tanner saw no risk in confronting them.
“Didn’t you hear me?” he snapped at Robin “Let go of Mr. Maverick’s girlfriend, or my guards will act
Robin smirked and gestured at Tanner. “Oh, so you’re trying to intimidate me?”

With that, he slapped Yvette’s face. Tanner froze, taken aback by Robin’s boldness.
“How dare you!” Tanner roared, pointing at Robin as a herce, murderous energy surged from him.

Seeing Trent from Centara Residence coming over. Tanner was a bit taken aback. He raised his hand, signaling the guards to pause,
Trent’s intervention made Tanner wonder if there was a connection between those three people and the Centara Residence, causing him to eye Robin suspiciously.
- h. Trent, do you know this person? Or are they somehow linked to the Centara Residence?”
With a light smile, Trent replied, “That’s not the issue. What I’m suggesting is that today’s gathering. hosted by the Quintanas, is a grand and festive event. It wouldn’t look good if something unpleasant disrupted the occasion.”
Tanner frowned slightly. “Mr. Trent, you see what happened. This guy insulted Mr. Maverick’s girlfriend. If I don’t act, he won’t understand the price of crossing the Quintanas.”
Trent nodded, maintaining his smile. “I understand, and you’re just doing your job. But even so, it’s wise to understand the reasons behind things before making decisions. Acting too hastily could lead to regrettable mistakes. What if you offend the distinguished guests?”
He knew the event was full of distinguished guests. Yet, Robin, who appeared to be in his early 20s. seemed too young to be considered one of them.
Tanner thought he might be overthinking it and chuckled. “So, Mr. Trent, what exactly are you suggesting?”
Trent glanced at the fallen Wesley and the enraged Yvette, shaking his head.
“I’m simply suggesting that it’s essential to know the situation clearly before taking action. Otherwise, you risk misunderstandings.”
Before Tanner could respond, Yvette spoke up angrily, “Mr. Trent, are you blocking justice here? Are you not worried about angering Mr. Maverick?”
Trent chuckled. “Whether Maverick is upset doesn’t concern me. My advice is simply that rushing into action can be dangerous. But if you insist, by all means, go ahead.”
He turned to Tanner, his expression serious. “As the Quintanas‘ butler, you need to weigh your actions. carefully.”
Yvette, her anger undeterred, shouted at Tanner, “If you don’t deal with this now, I’ll make sure Mr. Maverick hears that you did nothing while I was humiliated!”
Tanner trembled. Yvette was

With a chilling tone, Tanner said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Trent. These people turned violent here, and I don’t need to look into their reasons or motives. All I know is they assaulted Mr. Maverick’s girlfriend. As the butler, 1 must uphold the Quintanas‘ authority! I can’t let a nobody cause chaos on Quintana grounds!”
“Oh, you’re calling him a nobody?” Trent glanced at Robin, smiling. “Well, Tanner, go ahead and try. But I doubt you’re prepared for the consequences of that choice

Tanner’s heart raced. Was Trent hinting that Robin was someone the Quintanas shouldn’t mess with?
As Tanner hesitated. Yvette struggled to break free from Robin and shouted furiously, Tanner, what are you waiting for? Are you just going to stand by until Mr. Maverick gets back and fires you?”
Steeling himself, Tanner shouted, “Take action!”
The Quintanas guards quickly closed in around Robin and Ferell.
Ferell intercepted Tanner, knocking him back with a punch, but Tanner steadied himself, yelling. “You’re Asking for trouble!”
He lunged at Ferell, but Robin sneered. “Colonel Lockwood, you’re going easy on him!”
The comment only ignited Tanner’s rage. It was clear Robin wasn’t taking them seriously.
Brighton Manor’s top security team wouldn’t stand to be humiliated by some unknown outsider.
With a roar. Tanner rushed at Robin.
This time. Ferell held nothing back and struck with full force, sending Tanner crashing into the corridor railing. The solidly carved wood splintered as Tanner slumped to the ground, clutching his chest, blood trickling from his lips..
He hadn’t expected his opponent’s strength to be so overwhelming.
The crowd gasped in shock. Trent shook his head, smirking. “He’s overestimating himself!”
Kimberly cheered. “Nice hit!”
Eithan patted her head and scolded, “Be quiet!”
Zayn sighed, thinking Robin always caused trouble wherever he went. Beside him, Michelle nudged his arm and whispered, “Mr. Maverick will be back soon. I doubt Robin would dare face him.”
Zayn shook his head. “It’s hard to say. Wilson and Gavin both got beaten by him. What’s Maverick going to
do
Michelle’s eyes glinted with excitement. “So, you’re saying Robin would dare to keep this up?”
Zayn looked over at Robin, standing tall in the sunlight, and took a deep breath. “I’m not sure, but Maverick will want a fight.
She asked, “Can Mr. Maverick defeat Robin?”
Zayn sneered. “Wilson and Gavin couldn’t stand against him. Maverick doesn’t stand a chance either. And frankly, I don’t know why Maverick’s involved with the troublesome Yvette. This isn’t going to end well Meanwhile, dozens of bodyguards from the Quintana Residence surged forward, their knives drawn. Ferell darted into their midst like a shadow. Within moments, all the guards lay on the ground Onlookers realized things were escalating dangerously.
Joanna, worriedly observing the injured guards, leaned over and murmured, “Mr. Ramsey, this might go

With a swift move, Robin tossed Yvette aside, sending her flying several feet before she crashed onto the ground.
While the stunned crowd watched Robin and Ferell easily overpower the guards of the Quintanas, Maverick strode in with a grin.
Seeing Zayn. Michelle, and the others, he greeted them cheerfully. “Mr. Zayn, Ms. Michelle, glad your could make it so early!
Mr. Trent, Mr. Eithan, Ms. Kimberly–I was sent to welcome General Ramsey, so I couldn’t greet you sooner. Apologies!”
The event brought together the Eight Great Royal Houses, and Maverick was thrilled.
But his excitement turned to confusion as he noticed the strange expressions of Zayn, Eithan. Trent, and
the rest.
He frowned slightly. “What’s wrong? Did our arrangements fail to meet your expectations?”
Before they could respond, he caught sight of the chaos in the courtyard–Wesley. Yvette, Tanner, and several Quintana guards were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. He could hardly believe his eyes.
It was obvious that a fierce fight had just taken place.
“W–what’s going on?” Maverick asked the manor staff.
Before the staff could explain, Michelle pointed at Robin. “He attacked your girlfriend!”
Maverick’s gaze shifted to Robin, his eyes darkening with fury. A cold tension filled the air as he clenched hit fists
The entire courtyard felt charged with his anger, and everyone knew he was about to strike.
They looked sympathetically at Robin, Ferell, and Joanna.
Despite Robin and Ferell’s remarkable combat skills, they were on Quintana territory. If Maverick called upon his family’s resources, escaping unscathed would be nearly impossible for them.
“Who do you think you are, daring to act so brazenly in my home? Maverick asked icily.
Robin simply raised an eyebrow and replied, “I’ll act as boldly as I want, wherever I want.”
The crowd whispered in astonishment.
Kimberly, watching Robin’s defiance, couldn’t hide her intrigue; his unshakeable confidence was unlike anything she’d seen before.
Maverick was taken aback. Robin’s audacity exceeded anyone, even his fiercest rival, Elliott.
Aflowing such disrespect would make Maverick a laughingstock among Brighton’s elite.
As the heir to the Quintanas, Maverick was on his turf, and his girlfriend and butler had been attacked. If he didn’t respond, he’d be humiliated beyond repair!

Maverick knew that if he did nothing, the Brighton elite would question his strength.
While Maverick weighed his options, Wesley suddenly grabbed a knife and yelled, “Maverick, this guy assaulted me and my sister and wrecked her car! I’ll kill him myself!”
Without waiting, Wesley charged toward Robin. Gavin shouted, “Wesley, how dare you!”
With a crack, the Quintana Manor instantly fell into a suffocating silence.
Just as Gavin was about to act, Ferell swiftly slashed Wesley’s arm, severing it cleanly.
Wesley collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony,
All eyes turned to Maverick, knowing that his notorious temper wouldn’t let this slide.
Seeing her brother injured, Yvette nearly lost her mind. “Maverick! Look at their arrogance! They have no respect for you or your family!”
Darkly, Maverick turned to Robin. “General Ramsey, you were invited here as an honored guest, yet you’ve shown nothing but disrespect! Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line? I’ll give you a chance to explain. yourself.”
Robin replied coldly, “You’re not worth my explanation.”
Yvette then turned her anger on Joanna. “Maverick, that woman tried to seduce my brother, but he rejected her! When that b*stard saw it, she falsely accused my brother of molesting her! The b*stard then hit my brother!
“And he already wrecked my car at Maple Plaza, just to humiliate mel
Robin chuckled. “You’re a truly wicked woman. I was ready to let you off, but now you’ve brought this on yourself”
Before Yvette could say more, Robin suddenly moved, lifting her effortlessly.
“Maverick, kill him!” she shrieked, completely unprepared for his speed.
Maverick, too, was caught off guard by Robin’s lightning–fast reflexes.
Could anyone move like that?
His suppressed anger began to boil over. “General Ramsey, do you think I’ll just stand by and let this happen?”

Seeing Maverick’s rage, Yvette pointed at Joanna again, crying out, “Maverick, this woman plotted with him to assault me!
With a sneer, Robin grabbed Yvette’s hair and slammed her head against the corridor pillar, leaving her face bruised and swollen.
Maverick stood in disbelief, shocked by Robin’s audacity. He clenched his fists, ready to take action, but Gavin urged him. “Mr. Maverick, think carefully before you nct!

But before she could continue, Robin pulled her aside and said. “Let’s go. There’s no need to explain anything to them.”
Turning to Gavin, he added, “And don’t bother inviting me to these ridiculous events again.”
With that, he led Joanna toward the exit.
“Did I say you could leave?” Maverick’s cold voice called after them.

Chapter 676 Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless.
Maverick’s icy voice turned the entire manor as still as a graveyard. His tone made it clear–he was ready to confront Robin.
Robin paused, raising an eyebrow. “Are you certain you want me to stay?”
Maverick scoffed, his eyes narrowed. “Unless you give me an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving Quintana Manor!”
Oh Are you threatening me?” Robin smirked, turning back slowly.
What if I am?” Maverick’s gaze was fierce. “You think you can come here, cause chaos, and just walk out as if nothing happened! Do you take the Quintanas for fools?”
Sensing the tension rising. Gavin quickly stepped in to mediate. “Mr. Maverick, please try to remain calm!”
“Calm down‘ Gavin, are you implying I should endure this disrespect? Look around–the manor is in shambles because of him. Is this how a guest behaves?
“Even the most gracious host would find this arrogance unacceptable! Quintana Manor isn’t a place for just anyone to insult!
“Even if he’s high–ranking, the Quintanas don’t fear anyone! Remember who my grandfather is!”
Those observing knew exactly what Maverick meant. Casper was one of Draconia’s Eight Kings, a key figure in the nation.
Maverick’s words were no exaggeration. Against the Eight Kings, even powerful leaders were insignificant!
Gavin took a steady breath. “You’re right, but General Ramsey must have his reasons. Shouldn’t you at least find out what happened?”
Maverick’s expression darkened. “I don’t need any reason! He assaulted my girlfriend and her brother and even attacked my butler and guards. If he doesn’t explain, this won’t end well”
Gavin’s brows furrowed. “Mr. Maverick, before taking action, I suggest you speak to General Quintana.”
I don’t need my father’s help to handle this.”
Gavin grew frustrated. “Alright then, Mr. Maverick, do as you wish! But if you touch General Ramsey today, I won’t stand by and watch.”
Maverick was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Gavin to oppose him for Robin’s sake.
Gavin’s open support for Robin was surprising, especially since Robin had no known connections Draconia’s upper circles.
Was Gavin out of his mind?

Though Gavin was only a major general, his alliance with Wilson was significant. If he genuinely sided with Robin, this situation could become complicated.
After a tense pause, Maverick looked at Gavin. “General Brooks, are you sure about this?”
Gavin nodded without hesitation. I always stand by my word.”

His firm stance stunned the members of the Eight Royal Houses. If Gavin was committed to supporting Robin, today’s outcome was uncertain. Even Jethro might have to acknowledge Gavin’s influence.
Maverick clenched his jaw. “Fine, Gavin. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
He gestured to an officer nearby. “Retrieve my grandfather’s token and gather the elite guards! Today, we’ll show anyone who defies the Quintanas that they should show respect to us!”
The young heirs of the Eight Great Royal Houses were well aware of the fearsome strength of the Quintanas elite guards–highly trained warriors, the best of the best.
arely seen by outsiders, those guards had now been summoned by Maverick to restore order. It was clear that Robin was in serious trouble.
Even Gavin was taken aback. The appearance of the Quintanas‘ top guards meant this situation was escalating.
Without delay, he approached Robin. “General Ramsey, go on ahead. I’ll handle this.”
But before Gavin could finish, a squad of guards in golden masks swiftly assembled before Maverick.
Gavin tried to step in, but Robin shoved him aside. “Stay out of this! I don’t need you fighting my battles!
Maverick held up Casper’s token, directing his gaze at Robin. “Take him down!” he ordered.
The golden–masked guards advanced on Robin, their approach filling the air with a chilling intensity that even the bystanders could sense.
In response, Robin stepped forward and stomped forcefully on the manor’s floor. The advancing guards were thrown back nearly 30 feet, leaving everyone in shock. What had just happened?
Maverick, equally stunned, took in the sight of the fractured ground beneath Robin’s feet. The shockwave from Robin’s stomp had repelled the elite guards, displaying a skill level that left everyone speechless.
Robin looked at Maverick with an icy expression. “You’re nothing but trash. Don’t think you can challenge
- me.
Maverick’s entire body tensed in fury.
Robin, though a military officer, was Maverick’s peer in age, and now, in his place and before the other heirs, he was being publicly humiliated.
Trembling with rage, he clenched his fists and snatched a dagger from the ground, charging toward Robin. “You’ll pay for this!”
“Stop!” A sharp voice rang out from behind.
Maverick froze mid–step, and all eyes turned toward the voice.
Jethro was approaching, his face dark with anger, flanked by two colonels.
Michelle whispered to Zayn, “Mr. Jethro’s here. After the way Robin tore up the Quintana Manor, Mr. Jethro won’t let him off easily
Zayn shook his head. “Robin isn’t a man you can brush ofl. After causing this much trouble, General Quintana has every reason to be furious. This is a public insult that can’t be ignored.

As the second–generation leader of the Quintanas and a high–ranking figure in Draconia, his quiet anger was enough to make everyone tremble.
In any prestigious family, if an incident like this disrupted a formal gathering, even the most composed host wouldn’t remam calm.
And here. at Quintana Manor, a gathering place for the Eight Great Royal Houses, Jethro’s reaction was
nevitable.
Everyone present held their breath, bracing for the storm.
Since Robin had disrupted the gathering and caused a scene, it was certain Jethro would demand an explanation.
Seeing the tense a
atmosphere, Gavin stepped forward, beginning to explain. “General Quintana, this matter
But Robin cut him off with a cold snort. “Gavin, you’re in no position to speak here. Step back!”
His sharp command left no room for negotiation, escalating the situation.
Gavin’s attempt at a diplomatic solution, which could have defused tensions, was immediately shut down.
Even if Jethro was displeased. he would likely have respected Gavin’s influence and Robin’s position as an officer, allowing a peaceful resolution.
However, Robin’s blunt dismissal was a clear sign of disrespect to the Quintanas.
Zayn shook his head meaningfully.
Robin, Jethro isn’t someone to cross lightly. He’s a powerful military figure, a head of the second generation of the Eight Kings.
If you don’t show the Quintanas some respect, you’re setting yourself up for serious trouble. With your status and power, keeping this attitude will only lead to your downfall.
The young heirs from the other residences looked at Robin with disbelief.
Was he simply young and arrogant, or did he truly lack any understanding of how things worked? Did he truly expect the Quintanas to yield on their ground today?
In any situation, it was wise to leave some room for future reconciliation. That was the most basic rule of dealing with others.
But Robin’s dismissive attitude seemed to be blocking his path, step by step. His arrogance confused everyone–it was beyond anything they’d ever seen.
Ugally, arrogance meant picking on those weaker, but Robin was displaying pride and defiance even against families with more influence and power.
After Robin’s harsh rebuke, Gavin was left speechless, and the atmosphere grew even tenser.

Jethro, however, didn’t immediately question Robin or react to Maverick’s handling of the situation.
Instead, his gaze fell on Wesley, who lay injured on the ground.
Several bodyguards from the Judds were tending to his wounds.
Noticing Jethro’s stare, Wesley quickly forced himself up, despite his pain, and crawled over.
“General Quintana. I’m responsible for everything that happened today!” he exclaimed.
Jethro’s eyes narrowed, his expression dark. “Explain yourself,” he demanded.
Wesley pointed to Joanna, who stood behind Robin. “I was just walking in the manor when she approached. me, starting a conversation and trying to seduce me. You know me, sir. I’m an upright person and never look for women on a whim.
“Even if I sometimes make the kind of mistakes any man might, I only connect with those who share my interests among the employees in our company. What I’m saying is true. You can ask around–most of the female staff in our company are….
Wesley trailed off, realizing he’d revealed too much.
Uh. General Quintana, let’s not focus on that. What I want to emphasize is that this kind of woman is beneath me. How could I fall for her schemes?
“What’s even more outrageous is that a woman of such low status tried to seduce me, and when it didn’t work, she accused me of harassing her!
Then, Robin attacked me without reason, violently severing my arm! General Quintana, this happened on your grounds. You must demand an explanation on my behalf!”
Joanna, listening to Wesley’s account, was almost driven mad with frustration. She couldn’t believe such shamelessness existed.
She wanted to speak up and defend herself, but seeing Robin’s calm silence, she had no choice but to hold back the anger rising within her.
Jethro glanced at Joanna, then turned back to Wesley, his voice cold. “Are you certain you want to stick with that version of events?”
Wesley hesitated. “General Quintana, I. I swear it’s the truth.”
Jethro’s expression remained indifferent as he replied, “Let me remind you that any deception in your words will cost you your life. I’m giving you one last chance to speak honestly.”
Wesley trembled under Jethro’s icy stare, realizing he couldn’t back down now. If he admitted to harassing Joanna and causing this incident, Jethro wouldn’t let him leave alive.
After causing such chaos at Quintana Manor, he had no other options.
Wesley made up his mind. “General Quintana, how could I lie to you? She was the one who tried to seduce

Wesley’s cries echoed throughout the Quintana Manor, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
Chaos erupted at the Quintana banquet as someone dared to create trouble, an open display of disrespect. for the Quintanas.
Jethro couldn’t let such an offense pass unpunished. The honor of a general wasn’t to be trampled upon.
Furthermore, Wesley had shamelessly lied to Jethro in front of everyone, proving he deserved the
arshest response.
Members of other prominent families nodded approvingly at Jethro’s actions.
Kimberly whispered, “It’s great that General Quintana dealt with that spoiled brat from the Judds. I’ve always hated him. The way he used to act all sweet around me–those shifty eyes–was unbearable. He should be gone; one less troublemaker in the world.”
Eithan quickly shot her a cautionary look, whispering. “Don’t be reckless! He’s Yvette’s brother, after all. He’s also Maverick’s future brother–in–law.”
Kimberly frowned and muttered, Tm only speaking the truth. Even Mr. Jethro couldn’t tolerate it, or he wouldn’t handle it this way.”
Eithan whispered, “You don’t get it. Mr. Jethro is using this to warn Robin. After all, Robin holds a significant position… I won’t explain more. You wouldn’t understand anyway!”
Kimberly gave him a defiant glare. “Oh, trying to sound deep while barely scratching the surface, huh? I’m sure Mr. Jethro will judge fairly.
“Grandpa always says we can let go of trivial things, but when it’s about right and wrong, we have to be clear. That’s what a real leader does.”
“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you!” Eithan said, sighing. “But could you please keep quiet? This is the Quintanas business. We can’t stir up tension with them.”
Kimberly recognized his point, understanding they shouldn’t interfere in this matter.
Michelle was itching to say something but was immediately silenced by Zayn, who clamped his hand over
her mouth.
Since the incident at the Northern Plaza, when Catherine had faced their grandfather’s anger after she complained about it, Zayn had become more cautious.
Now, seeing Michelle about to blurt out something careless, he stopped her immediately. “If you say anything foolish, get out!”
Frightened. Michelle kept quiet, realizing that when Jethro managed family affairs, the younger generation had no place to speak up.
Watching her brother being dragged away, Yvette panicked.
Forgetting the blood running down her cheek, she rushed over to Jethro, pleading, “Mr. Jethro, please forgive my brother. He didn’t mean to deceive you, he just got confused and lied.

“Maybe she gave my brother a certain impression, leading him to make a mistake. It’s not entirely his fault. If anything, you could say she’s too attractive, making it hard for men to resist!”
Those present were stunned by Yvette’s words. Her reasoning was certainly unconventional, blaming Joanna’s looks for Wesley’s behavior.
Michelle, watching in surprise, whispered, Zayn, isn’t her logic kind of… odd?”
Zayn shook his head in disbelief, smiling. I can’t compete with her logic.”
Trent laughed, adding. “You’re just being modest. You and she might be equals in logic.”
Zayn glared at him, muttering, “I won’t argue with a sarcastic bookworm like you.”
Yvette’s eyes filled with tears as she continued, “Mr. Jethro, Maverick and I are about to get married. We’re practically family now. Please have mercy on my brother for my sake and Maverick’s-”
“Shut up!” Jethro interrupted, his face dark. “The Quintanas would never welcome a daughter–in–law like
you.
“Want to marry my son? You’re dreaming. Would the Quintanas accept someone lacking decency and
manners?”
Maverick was stunned.
Yvette, sweating in fear, hurriedly explained, “Mr. Jethro, don’t be angry. I won’t ask you to release my brother anymore. All I want is for you to accept my marriage with Maverick.
“Tonly clashed with Robin because he damaged my car at Maple Square, and-”
“Bringing up the Maple Square incident, are you?” Jethro snapped. “You should leave even sooner because
of that!
“You used the Quintanas‘ name and parked in the middle of the road, causing a traffic jam of nearly 400 cars. Your shameless, uncivilized behavior has ruined the Quintanas‘ reputation!
“Just because your family has money doesn’t mean you have virtue! Being associated with Maverick doesn’t give you the right to act rudely in the Quintanas‘ name!
“Having status doesn’t mean you can bully others. If anything, it should teach you how to respect them. Your family, with its worthless wealth, has raised someone like you. The Quintanas won’t welcome you!”
Maverick tried to speak, but Jethro pointed at him. “If you bring this undisciplined woman here again. you’ll be shown the door too!
“Guards, take this trash out! The Quintanas will never have any dealings with such disgraceful families
again!
With those words, Jethro cut all ties with the Judds. From that moment on, no one would want to associate with them
Soon, both the underground and legitimate circles would apply pressure on the Judds. Their fate was

Tanner, come here!” Jethro commanded coldly. “Apologize to General Ramsey and Ms. Leif!”
At last, everyone understood that Jethro had never planned to deal with Robin–his actions were directed at the Judds instead.
Gavin’s nerves finally relaxed. Thinking it over, he realized that, as a respected general and leader of the Quintanas. Jethro had to be fair and level–headed in his decisions if he wanted to remain an influential figure.
Tanner dropped to his knees, addressing Robin and Joanna, “General Ramsey, Ms. Leif, please forgive my offense

“But the way you dealt with Yvette was too much!
Yvette defended Wesley because of their sibling bond. This only shows that she’s a person with integrity and kindness!
“Why do you treat her this way? And why won’t you let me be with her?
Yvette is smart, well–educated, and considerate. She even graduated as a top student from a prestigious university.
“Why do you say she’s lacking in character and morals?
“You’re too controlling! Too cold–hearted! Too militaristic!
T’d say the same thing even if Grandpa hears about it!”
Jethro took a deep breath and turned to Robin. “General Ramsey, pardon me for a moment. I need to handle this ignorant fool and set him straight!”
Robin gave a calm nod. “No problem, take care of your family issues first.

“Play the street racing video from this morning in front of the Maple Plaza for him! Let him witness the reality of the so–called elegant and sophisticated top student!

The adjutant promptly retrieved the trending street racing video from that morning’s online platforms.
Maverick and the spectators were left speechless by what they saw.

What followed left them even more astounded–a video of Robin ruthlessly ramming into Yvette’s Lamborghini.

After Jethro showed him the video, he scoffed coldly. “Do you see now? This is the filth lurking behind all that fake glamour!
“You said she was well–educated, a graduate from a prestigious university, wealthy, and beautiful..
“But did you see it? This so–called elite arrogance, devoid of virtue and even shame, is far worse than ignorance. It’s utterly vile!
There’s a military general once said. Today I use arrogance to overpower others, but I must expect that bie day, others will overpower me with the same arrogance.
“If wealth, status, and knowledge aren’t used for kindness, understanding, generosity, and personal growth but instead serve as a mask for deceit, vanity, and oppressing others, then what good are these outward qualities?
“A vile, utterly selfish, polished arrogance and shamelessness. Is that what you call a compassionate, brilliant woman!
Quintana Residence will never allow such uncivilized women to set even half a foot inside!
“A person’s, especially a woman’s, upbringing is not measured by how she flatters the powerful, but by how she behaves in humble circumstances.
“A woman’s true upbringing is not reflected in how she treats the powerful or her family and friends.
“It’s about whether she can show kindness and generosity to those beneath her.
“And this Yvette you’re talking about, rude and unreasonable, causing trouble under the name of Quintana Residence. She’s nothing but a beast!
Where is the upbringing and kindness you speak of in her?
“Your grandpa always said that the purpose of life is to make the people around you feel better because of your presence, not to make them suffer because of you!
“And what have this woman and her brother done?
“If they weren’t in the Quintana Manor, everything would be peaceful.
“But with them here, all there is is conflict and disorder!
“D*mn it! The Eight Kings gathering I organized today was ruined by this trash!

Maverick was left speechless.

He was teaching the third generation of the Quintanas a valuable lesson right there, how to judge people. and how to carry themselves.
Having wealth and power in life can be easily achieved,
However, becoming a person who is truly responsible and stands strong with integrity is far from simple!
Jethro inhaled deeply and walked over to Robin.
“General Ramsey, I sincerely apologize for the unfortunate event carlier. It was due to my family’s Ainadequate arrangements. I apologize to you, General Ramsey!”
Robin responded with a smile, “General Quintana, there’s no need for such formalities. Let’s address the issue at hand.”
Jethro grinned. ‘General Ramsey’s insight and open–mindedness are far beyond the reach of ordinary people!”
At that moment, Jack, who had been following, chimed in. “Jethro, you’re not too shabby yourself, honest and principled!”
The members of the Royal Houses watched as Robin, who was about their age, was surrounded by several powerful military figures, making his way toward the northwest tower. A sense of dazed disbelief swept
over them.
Robin turned around and gestured toward Ferell, “Colonel Lockwood, please ensure that Ms. Leif is safely escorted back to Brighton University.”
Joanna was still somewhat stunned at that moment.
The earlier situation had seemed nearly impossible.
Yet, in front of Robin, everything shifted in an instant.
This caused her to develop a deep admiration for him.
As she watched Robin walk away, his serene and kind smile made her feel an unexpected sense of
connection
It felt as though she had known him for many years.
Ferell motioned, “Ms. Leif, please allow me to accompany you back to the school.”

“General Quintana, the gaming software has been destroyed. I will recreate it right away and it should be ready in about half a day
Jethro gave a nod. It’s fine. Once it’s done, get in touch with my personal secretary, and I will arrange for someone to collect it from Brighton University. There’s no need for you to come back here.”
Alright, Joanna nodded. Then she turned to Robin, remarking. “General Ramsey, thank you. If you’re free tonight, my mom and I would love to have you, Brenda, and Marrisa over for dinner.”

However, unexpectedly, Maverick’s loud command quickly turned the peaceful mood at the Quintana Manor into one of tension.
Everyone was stunned by Maverick’s shocking declaration.
Was this Mr. Maverick preparing for a decisive battle with Robin?
wasn’t just a casual challenge or contest, was it?
The way he spoke was clearly filled with tension and hostility.
Robin. Jethro, and Jack halted in their steps.
Jethro slowly spun around, his expression cold, “Maverick, stop causing trouble! General Ramsey and I have serious matters to discuss, why are you challenging him now?”
Maverick shouted in frustration, “Dad, today I must compete with him!”
Jethro snapped. “You’re being outrageous! If you have any issues, keep them to yourself!”
Maverick took a deep breath and said. “That’s not what you think!
Im not challenging him because of personal issues, and it has nothing to do with what’s happening today. I just can’t accept it. He’s around my age, so why did he become a lieutenant general while I haven’t?
“If I can show today that Robin lacks the skills and abilities required for such a position, then he must have sothe powerful unseen support or a strong connection with an influential person to have reached where he is”
“You’re being outrageous! Jethro was furious once again.
“Who gave you the right to make wild assumptions about a lieutenant general’s background? General Ramsey camed his position through his strength!
Your abilines are nowhere near his level!
“Maverick, you need to reflect on yourself and learn to show respect to those with wisdom!
“If you keep acting so arrogantly, you’ll only end up embarrassing yourself!”
Jethro’s words only fueled the anger burning inside Maverick.
This happened right in front of the members of the Royal Houses.
Claiming that he as the son of the prestigious Quintana Residence was far less capable than Robin, was a clear public insult to him.
The others could handle it, but he could not!
“Hmph! How can you judge if he truly deserves this position making a comparison?” Maverick scoffed, “Robin, are you brave enough to accept?”

What on earth is going on with this guy today?
Jethro, enraged, was about to move forward to scold him
Before he could say anything, Wendy and Catherine appeared from the east side of the manor.
Noticing the hostility radiating from Maverick, Wendy asked, “Maverick, what are you doing?
“I just heard something unpleasant happened here. What’s going on with you now?”
Move aside! I’m going to challenge Robin right now!” Maverick snapped, his eyes burning with anger.
“What? You want to fight Robin?” Catherine was taken aback.
“Maverick. I strongly advise you not to make this reckless move. Robin’s skills are not something you can handle”
Her words cut through Maverick’s pride like a sharp blade.
His face turned red with fury as he snapped, “Catherine, this is none of your business, so get lost!”
“Alright, alright!” Catherine sneered, shaking her head.
“Maverick. I’m trying to help you, but you don’t appreciate it! If you want to embarrass yourself, then go ahead!
Zayn pulled her aside, saying, “Catherine, stop causing trouble. It’s not your place to get involved in Mr. Maverick’s matters!”
Catherine rolled her eyes at Zayn and fell silent..
Kimberly, however, was thrilled. “Maverick, I’m all for you!
“Your skills are definitely among the best here, and I support your challenge to General Ramsey. I love watching a good fight!”
Trent scoffed, “Kimberly, aren’t you blowing this out of proportion?
“Do you have any idea what the consequences will be if Maverick challenges General Ramsey?”
“What could happen? It’s just a fight, right?” Kimberly snorted, rolling her eyes at Trent.
Eithan gave Kimberly a light pat on the head. “Quiet down! Why are you so worked up today? Whether they fight or not isn’t your concern!”
“I just enjoy watching them compete, that’s all,” Kimberly mumbled.
“Didn’t Mr. Maverick say it himself? Competition isn’t about right or wrong, nor about grudges or debts, it’s just a normal challenge match,” she added.
Eithan let out a deep breath and said, “It would be ideal if they didn’t argue. If they do, Maverick might berome really upset!”
Maverick grew even more enraged as the surrounding group continued to provoke him with their words. They weren’t backing him up in the slightest. It felt more like they were laughing at him, just waiting for

Maverick noticed that Robin was still ignoring him and, in frustration, pointed at him, saying. “Are you too

Robin gave a calm smile and looked at Jethro, saying, “General Quintana, it looks like if I don’t step in today, your son won’t let this go.”
Jethro sighed and shook his head. “General Ramsey, Maverick has been spoiled by me and his grandpa, so he doesn’t understand his limits. Please don’t take him seriously.”
Maverick, furious, pointed at Robin. “Dad, what are you saying? I’m openly challenging him!
“If he’s too afraid, all he has to do is say it, and I will never bother him again.”
Gavin shook his head. “Mr. Maverick, you’re going too far! General Ramsey is not willing to fight you, not because he’s afraid!”
You Maverick pointed at Gavin but couldn’t find the words.
“You don’t need to get involved in this. Robin, just tell me, are you brave enough to accept my challenge?”
Robin smiled and responded, “Are you sure you want to challenge me in this situation?
“If it weren’t for General Quintana, you wouldn’t even have the opportunity to speak like this!
Tll overlook your ignorance this time, but let’s leave it at that!”
Maverick immediately got angry. “Robin, you’re crossing the line! I won’t let this go until we settle things today!”
Jethro wanted to scold him, but Robin raised his hand to stop him.
“General Quintana, looks like I have no choice but to take action.”
Jethro hesitated for a moment, then said, “Fine, General Ramsey, teach him a lesson. Let him understand that there’s always someone stronger and that there are always people better than him!”
Jack said calmly, “Having a sparring match, a little exchange of skills, is actually a good thing.
“Like father, like son. Of course, a military family’s offspring should have some spirit and vitality.” “Maverick, let’s have a contest.”
Robin gave Jack a look and said, “Mr. Grayson, I see you’re quite the troublemaker!”
