All the guests turned their attention to Maverick.

Among the Eight Great Royal Houses, the Quintana Residence had the best reputation and also the fewest
controversy
The Quintanas siblings, Maverick and Wendy, were known for their refined and cultured image.
Despite Maverick’s stubborn and impatient nature, he was always reasonable, never using his power to
vitimidate others, nor did he boast of his status as heir.
At this moment, Viola had publicly questioned Maverick, seemingly to pressure him to take a stand and rein in the aggressive behavior of Catherine.
Maverick smiled with a hint of amusement and said, “Mrs. Lynch, since you want a fair answer, I’ll speak plainly.
“People like Jamie and Wren–if I encountered them, I would have no hesitation in eliminating them!”
Viola jolted abruptly, nearly collapsing to the ground.
She hadn’t anticipated Maverick would express himself in such an aggressive manner.
Struggling to steady herself, she demanded, “Mr. Maverick, how can you make such a vicious claim?!”
Maverick’s eyes were cold as he stated, “As far as I know, Jamie had secretly hired an assassin to kill Vera. If Mr. Ramsey hadn’t intervened, Vera would be dead by now!
“Jamie wanted her dead so that he could take over the newly rising Silva Group.
“Who is the puppetmaster behind his actions, Mrs. Lynch? You should know better than anyone.
“In reality, Jamie deserved to die for the crime he committed alone.
“His evil deeds don’t stop there.
“To destroy the popular celebrity, Ivy, he hired an online troll to slander and kill the mother and sister of martyr Santiago and her sister Annie.
“There is no justice in this world if we let a beast like him live on! Mr. Ramsey had every right to kill him!–
“And then there’s Wren!
“For years, for her own selfish purposes, she’s used all kinds of underhanded tactics online to defame and slander the innocent, just to gain some fleeting fame and attention.

“Her deeds seem trivial, and she just has a poor character, right?

“Your family is a prominent family–don’t you understand that humiliating a military officer is punishable by death?
“Mrs. Lynch, do you think people like Wren and Jamie would survive a trial by the Eight Great Royal Houses?
“So when you ask what our stance is on this matter, I’ll make it crystal clear: they got what they deserved!”
Guests were in an uproar
So, Robin and Catherine really did kill these two people? Those two are trash and it seems like they Beserved it.”
“Mr. Maverick has a point. The once righteous Lynches have truly fallen!”
“With a third generation like them, the Lynches‘ time is up!”
Viola trembled with rage, and it took her a while to catch her breath.
“Y–you all… My family is being bullied for being old and weak.
“You’ve gone too far!
“My family has made great contributions in the past!
“Even Lord Westeria or Lord Quintana would show us some respect if they came to our house!
“All of you had to team up to humiliate an old woman like me, but you’ve also killed my granddaughter and grandson!
“Even if they were guilty, it’s not for you to lay hands on them!
“Once Mr. Hendrix arrives, he will make you pay for what you’ve done to us!”
The guests who had been talking among themselves fell silent.
Hendrix had a reputation as a violent, troublesome, spoil brat who was unreasonably difficult to reason with.
Moreover, his brother was one of the top fighters among the third generation of the Eight Great Royal Houses.
If they saw anyone causing trouble today, on the day of the planned engagement, they would not let it slide.
It looked like things were about to get interesting.
Viola, in a fit of rage, pointed her cane at Catherine and Maverick, gritting her teeth. “Fine, Mr. Maverick, Ms. McKay, you two had to team up against me, but we will never let you younger generations trample
over us!”
Catherine snorted coldly and added, “If Robin is willing, I could wipe out your family for him!”
Viola staggered, nearly falling to the ground. “Y–you’re lawless!”
The head of security rushed in and reported, “Mrs. Viola, Mr. Bruno, the second butler of Northlorn

Residence, and Mr. Hendrix have arrived!”
Viola’s eyes lit up, her face breaking into a joyous grin as her backer had arrived.
With the help of the security guard, she rushed forward to greet them:
“Mr. Hendrix! Mr. Bruno! You’re here!” she exclaimed. “These people have worked together to bully me. They even killed my grandchildren. Please, help us, make them answer for it!”
Bruno was furious. He promised, “Mrs. Lynch, don’t worry. Whoever dares to act recklessly in your mansion, I will personally kill them!
“Anyone who bullies the Lynches is directly challenging Northlorn Residence!”
Viola’s face twisted into a malicious grin as she pointed at Robin. “Mr. Bruno, that’s the one. Not only did he kill my grandson, but he’s also trying to steal Mr. Hendrix’s fiancée!
“His evil deeds are an act that bullies my family but also humiliates Mr. Hendrix in public and provokes Northlorn Residence.”
Bruno spoke coldly, “Mrs. Lynch, don’t worry. Anyone who dares to cause trouble and kill during your birthday banquest, Northlorn Residence will never spare them!”
Then, Hendrix’s voice boomed from behind. He asked, “What happened, Viola? Who’s the fool daring to cause trouble here? I’ll kill them right now!”
All the guests felt their hearts race.
When a villain like Hendrix got angry, he truly meant it.
With Hendrix’s arrival, Viola staggered forward to greet him. “Mr. Hendrix! Mr. Hendrix! My family is in dire straits!
“Today is your engagement day with Vera; someone has caused a disturbance here and killed my grandchildren. Mr. Hendrix, they’ve gone too far!”
Hendrix followed Viola’s gesture, his eyes landing on Catherine, who stood coldly across from him. “Catherine, are you also here to support me? Hahaha!”
Catherine chuckled and didn’t bother to pay any attention to him.
Hendrix swept his gaze over the gathering of Royal House heirs, raising his hand in greeting. “So you all came? You really show me some respect. Thank you, thank you, hahaha.”
He then turned to Viola and said, “Viola, which idi*t is causing trouble? Tell me. I’ll take care of him first! After that, we can move on to the next session for today’s banquet!”
Viola pointed viciously at Robin and said, “Mr. Hendrix, it’s that b*stard!
“He killed my grandchildren and is trying to steal Vera away from you! Mr. Hendrix, this b*stard is too ruthless.”

In the gentle breeze, the dappled light–shimmering like starlight–danced over Robin’s tall, graceful figure, casting a breathtaking glow around him.
Everything felt ethereal, as if it existed beyond the reach of earthly concerns, like a fleeting dream.
The scene looks surreal and intangible.
Hendrix suddenly shuddered in fear.
His previously relaxed body tensed up instantly.
For a moment, he felt disoriented, as if his heart had stopped in terror.
Could I have seen it wrong?
He rubbed his eyes fiercely and looked again at Robin.
A sharp tingling sensation, akin to electrocution, suddenly surged through the center of his head.
Oh my goodness!
Hendrix stood frozen, his body shaking uncontrollably, his thick hair seemingly standing on end.
The mouth, which had been laughing moments ago, appeared stuck, unable to close.
His eyes, once filled with malice, were now wide with terror.
Nearby, Bruno observed the scene.
He glanced at Vera, who was leaning affectionately against Robin, then at Hendrix’s strange reaction.
It hit him–Hendrix was livid.
The woman he was supposed to marry, someone he had been discussing wedding plans with, was now holding another man’s arm.
This was an outright humiliation to Hendrix.
It was an open provocation to Northlorn Residence.
Bruno rushed over to pat Hendrix on the back, attempting to relieve the anger building inside him.
“Mr. Hendrix, take it easy; just breathe. Leave the killing to me! I’ll take care of this arrogant fool. I’ll make sure he dies right here!”
Bruno’s cold declaration made the crowd hold their breath.
Everyone knew the real battle was about to begin.
The one who had ruined Hendrix’s engagement party would face fierce consequences. A violent confrontation was underway.

No matter how strong Robin was, he had to consider the fact that he was not just facing Hendrix but the full power of Northlorn Residence.
The heirs of The Eight Great Royal Houses knew this too.
Bruno’s skills were among the top three in the entire league of skilled fighters.
Without another word, Bruno prepared to charge at Robin.
“Stop right there!” Hendrix bellowed.
Bruno, startled, immediately froze in place. “Mr. Hendrix, you don’t need to get your hands dirty with this. Leave this to me!”
A loud slap rang out.
Hendrix slapped Bruno across the face with all his might.
Bruno was caught off guard.
The force of Hendrix’s slap made him spin around twice and see stars before he could steady himself.
“Mr. Hendrix, you’ve got the wrong person.” Bruno struggled to steady himself, his eyes wide with confusion.
Looking at Hendrix, whose eyes were burning with fury, Bruno quickly added, “Mr. Hendrix, are you dizzy with anger? Wait here, I’ll go deal with that b*stard right away.”
“Kneel!” Hendrix roared.
At the sound of Hendrix’s command, Bruno’s temper flared. He pointed at Robin and declared, “You kneel!”
Motherf*cker! I said kneel!” Hendrix snarled, kicking Bruno in the leg.
With a thud, Bruno dropped to his knees.
He stared at Hendrix, dazed, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Is Hendrix losing his mind?
Suddenly, a startled gasp rang out from the mansion.
Everyone knew that Hendrix never played by the rules.
He was infamous for his unpredictable antics and chaotic behavior.
What is he doing now?
Is this some kind of tactic to intimidate his opponent?
she going to harm himself first to scare Robin, like those ruthless people who stab themselves in the leg to throw off their opponent?

Hendrix’s bizarre behavior also left Viola frozen in shock.
Everything today had been filled with twists and turns.
Finally, Hendrix, the one who could save her, had arrived, but now he was only playing more mind games. What was his game this time?
Viola had only heard rumors about Hendrix’s reputation–ruthless, arrogant, and unpredictable.
Had he come here just to torment people, starting by beating up his own?
Unable to hold her confusion, Viola stepped forward, asking, “Mr. Hendrix, Mr. Bruno … He’s one of us. Why did you strike him?”
“F*ck off!” Hendrix roared, shocking Viola into falling to the ground.
“Hahahaha!” Kimberly burst into laughter, “Hendrix, what kind of show are you putting on now? Hahaha!” “Get lost!” Hendrix pointed at Kimberly and Eithan. “Eithan, control your sister’s foul mouth!”
Before the siblings could respond, Hendrix kneeled before Robin with a thud.
“Mr. Ramsey, I didn’t realize that old hag was talking about you.
“If I’d known it was you, I would never have spoken those filthy words. Early on, I was a fool! I–I’ll punish myself for it!”
With a loud smack, Hendrix swung his arm and struck his own face.
The slap was so powerful that two of his teeth flew out, and his cheeks swelled up.
Everyone frozen at the scene.
Hendrix was on his knees and begging for Robin’s forgiveness.
What in the world is happening?
Watching this unfold, Viola nearly passed out.
Had the unruly Hendrix really gone insane?
There had been rumors that his grandfather had confined him to the family estate for three years.
Was it true? Was he really losing his mind?
Madness could only describe what was happening now!
It simply doesn’t make sense.
Viola cautiously approached Hendrix and whispered, “Mr. Hendrix, are you okay?”

Hendrix roared, “Do you think I’m okay? You old fool! You foolishly attempted to deceive me, almost leading to my death!
“Mr. Hendrix, what are you talking about?” Viola asked, feeling utterly bewildered.
“Get lost!” Hendrix snapped, wishing he could strangle Viola right then.
At that moment, Elliott rushed in, looking panicked.
He felt his head spinning when he saw the chaos before him.
n his way to the mansion, he had already heard about what was happening here.
He had tried to stop his brother from going to the mansion, but it was too late.
In a few quick strides, he reached Robin and dropped to his knees.
“Mr. Ramsey, this is a complete misunderstanding. My family had no idea. It was that old witch who deceived us.”
He followed up with a punch to Hendrix’s face. Elliot scolded, “You idi*t, do you want to die? How dare you go after Mr. Ramsey’s woman! I’ll kill you!”
Robin’s icy voice cut through the tension. “Elliott, is this how your family carries yourself? Bullying people and acting with such arrogance?
“To marry into your family, the Lynches had tied Vera up and locked her in the maid’s quarters!
“If I hadn’t arrived in time, who knows what would have happened to her?”
Elliott broke out in sweat, terrified.
At that moment, Elliott broke into sweat, realizing Robin could easily kill Hendrix on a whim. “Mr. Ramsey, don’t worry. My family will definitely give you an explanation!”

Elliott slowly rose to his feet, planting a heavy foot on Hendrix’s leg.
A sharp crack echoed through the room.
The leg, which had only just begun to heal, was broken once again.
This sudden act shocked every guest present.
Just how terrified must Robin and Elliott be to be this ruthless with his own brother?

Hendrix writhed in agony on the floor. “Elliott, I’m innocent! I had no idea the Lynches were going to tie up Ms. Silva! I didn’t even know she had such a background!
“Especially the part about Ms. Silva being Mr. Ramsey’s woman, I swear, I had no clue!
“The Lynches only told me that Ms. Silva was their granddaughter, a graduate of a prestigious school, and ran a publicly listed company. I’ve only ever seen a photo of her! That’s all I know about her!”
Elliott’s voice was cold and commanding. He roared, “Innocent? You offended Mr. Ramsey; now you will face the consequences!
“Grandpa and I have already spoken over the phone, and he has grounded you for ten years! You’re never leaving the house!
“Bruno, you’re with him. He also forbids you from leaving the house for the next ten years.”
Hendrix gazed up at Robin and asked hopefully, “Mr. Ramsey?”
“Get lost!” Robin waved his hand dismissively.
Bruno quickly hoisted Hendrix, and the two of them hurried out of the mansion.
He knew full well that if it hadn’t been for Hendrix and Elliott intervening today, he might very well have been killed by Robin’s blade.
Elliott let out a long sigh and bowed deeply before Robin. “Thank you, Mr. Ramsey!”
He then turned to Vera and said, “Ms. Silva, on behalf of Northlorn Residence, I apologize to you.
“We owe you a debt, Ms. Silva. I will make it right now!”
Vera quickly waved her hands and said, “Mr. Chandler, there’s no need! I’m fine. I’m someone with pitiful background and insignificant. I’m not that delicate.
“If it weren’t for Robin, I wouldn’t even be in this position right now. I’ve already received so much, and I’m content with what I have.
“Besides, you’re Mr. Ramsey’s friend. How could I trouble you to explain further?”
Before Vera could continue, Robin’s cold voice interrupted. “I want 50% of the Lynch Group’s shares transferred to Vera’s name! If you refuse, I’ll destroy your family today!”
A gasp swept through the crowd.

Fifty percent of the Lynch Group’s shares!
The company had ten major shareholders, with the Lynches holding 60%.
Robin was asking for half of that and transferring it to Vera.
That meant he would control 90% of the shares held by the Lynches.
How could the Lynches possibly agree to this?
But Robin had made it clear: if they didn’t accept the terms, the family would be obliterated.
Such a blatant threat left everyone wondering how the Lynches would react.

Kenneth, with the help of two security guards, struggled to stand and roared, “You’re going too far! We’ll never let you dictate our fate!”
Robin sneered. “Back then, you took all of Vera’s mother’s shares, but also orchestrated a plot to frame her and ultimately cause her death. You were the main instigator.
“If you’re not willing to make this small compensation now, then you can die!
“Elliott, do it!”
“Stop!” Viola cried in panic. “Mr. Chandler, let me explain about the marriage alliance.”
At this point, Viola was certain that Robin would follow through on his threats.
If they didn’t agree to his demands, Kenneth would certainly die here and now.
“I don’t need your explanation!
“You and your family have offended Mr. Ramsey. My family will never have anything to do with the Lynches again!
“Refuse to follow Mr. Ramsey’s orders, and I will wipe out your whole family!”
“You dare!” Viola slammed her cane hard against the ground.
“Steven held a high position in Draconia’s upper echelons; just the upcoming collaboration with the Aldridges, the world’s most privileged family, is not something you can afford to offend!”
Elliott froze.
The Aldridges?!
A mysterious super–elite family, the most powerful in the world!
The wealth of this global powerhouse rivals that of entire countries.
This family controlled over ten of the world’s top mercenary groups.
Their mercenaries had the power to destroy two superpower countries in a matter of minutes.
Their weapons were so destructive that no nation could rival them.

Despite their immense power, this family had no interest in politics.
If they wanted, they could easily create a super–nation ten or twenty times stronger than Autreynia.
Legend had it that the Aldridges were so wealthy that they owned enough gold to buy three–quarters of the entire planet.
With nearly 200,000 tons of global gold reserves, the Aldridges owned 130,000 tons.
If the Lynches actually partner with the Aldridges, Northlorn Residence would never dare take action against them.
The Aldridges shielded all their partners.
No country or organization could touch anyone in their network.
Felix had once declared globally that anyone who harmed an Aldridges business partner would be at war with the Aldridges themselves.
At this moment, the Lynches‘ butler, Alger Lynch, entered the room with a young foreign woman and a few attendants.
“Mrs. Lynch, Ms. Luella has arrived.”
Viola’s eyes immediately lit up.
She pointed her cane at Robin and snarled, “Did you hear that? Ms. Luella Aldridge is here to personally sign the cooperation agreement with us!
“The Aldridges are the world’s number one family; do you understand what this means?
“Do you know what kind of colossal force the Aldridges are? Even the president of a superpower must show them respect!
“Once our family successfully cooperates, even The Eight Great Royal Houses won’t be able to touch me! Hahaha!
“With your limited skills, do you believe you could acquire half of the Lynch Group’s shares from us? Dream on!
“Today, this b*stard ruined my birthday party, killed my grandchildren, and now you and that sl*t must pay with your lives!”
“Is that so?” Robin smiled indifferently and strode over to Kenneth. “What if I just kill him? What will you do?”
Viola screamed, “You dare!”
Before she could finish, Robin’s pale hand closed around Kenneth’s throat.
Everyone gasped in horror. Was Robin truly insane?
To offend the Aldridges would mean certain, irredeemable doom!
Zayn hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. He advised, “Robin, if you keep acting recklessly, it won’t just be you who suffers. You will drag the McKays, the Chandlers, the Quintanas, and even Vera

Robin’s ruthless actions stunned all the guests.
“Robin, you’re playing with fire!” Zayn pointed at him in horror. “Do you know what you’re doing? You’re setting off a disaster!”
Robin took out a wet wipe and began cleaning the blood from his hands. He asked, “Setting off a disaster?” “Haha.” Robin chuckled and said, “There’s no such thing as minimal–impact harm in this world. If you kill
man, you will pay with your life; if you owe a debt, you will repay it. It’s only right!
“The Lynches are no exception!
“A family of such high status dares to bully a helpless woman in order to bring glory to the family. If they don’t die, who will?
“If it were you that suffered such bullying, would you tell me the same thing?”
Zayn shook his head helplessly. “Fine, Robin, I hope you’re still lucky enough to survive.”
He never imagined Robin would be this reckless.
Knowing that the Aldridges were going to ally with the Lynches, he still insisted on going up against these… world–renowned families. Wasn’t this just asking for death?
He immediately grabbed Catherine’s arm and urged, “Catherine, let’s go.
“Robin’s reckless behavior will drag our family down with him!
“The Aldridges are a terrifying presence. They’re a powerhouse, a walking arsenal!
“Mess with them, and they’ll blow you to smithereens–not even a scrap left!
“What’s the point of following world rules and social order when faced with such powerful families? All of that sh*t is nonsense!
“As long as they want, they can rewrite the rules of the world–no problem for them!”
Catherine shook off Zayn’s hand and lifted her head up stubbornly. She said, “Zayn, can you stop making me look down on you?
“Kenneth was the eldest son of the Lynches, but he stole his sister’s shares for his own gain, plotted to ruin her life, and personally destroyed her life.
“Now, to help his family hold on to the Northlorn Residence, he’s using Vera again.
“For a family that large, their shameless actions are worse than animals!
“Robin’s killing of Kenneth would be an act of loyalty and justice!
“Why shouldn’t we stand by him? He is a remarkable man and a noble friend.
“Zayn! You’re the one behind the helm of our family in the future. Can’t you stand like a man?”

“Grandpa always said a man who cannot face life and death is a disgrace!
“If we choose to compromise with evil just because they’re powerful, then even if we survive, we’ll be nothing more than walking corpses!
“You can leave! I won’t be coming with you!
“I will fight the Aldridges until the end if they dare to touch Robin!”
Zayn shook his head in desperation. “Sister, you’re too obsessed with Robin! If this keeps up, our family will be destroyed by your hands!”
Catherine snorted coldly. “If all of us are like you–cowardly, afraid of trouble, and only brave when it benefits us but too scared to stand up when needed–then even if our family stands tall, what’s the point?
“Just stay here and don’t let our family become a joke to others!”
Zayn shook his head bitterly and muttered, “Fine, Catherine, I really can’t do anything with you. If you’re not going, I’ll stay here with you.
“Listen to your brother; if things go wrong, we leave immediately, understood?”
“You better stand up straight!” Catherine angrily kicked Zayn and looked up at Robin.
Meanwhile, Viola had already instructed all the bodyguards to assemble and encircle the group.
She pointed at Robin coldly and said, “After I greet the Aldridges‘ heiress, I’ll deal with you!
“Kid, you should know what happens to those who offend the Aldridges‘ partners!”
The guests were all wondering if Robin, this stubborn man, really dared to go head–to–head with the Aldridges.
It would be like an egg hitting a rock or an ant shaking a tree.
There was no way he could win against such a colossal family.
Wendy spoke in a low voice, “Catherine, I think you should try to persuade Robin; calm things down if possible. Offending the Aldridges would present a significant challenge.”
“If Robin is the type to succumb before people more powerful than him, I won’t like him!” Catherine interrupted Wendy, anxiously watching Robin.
At that moment, Viola directed her venomous voice toward Robin. “You better kneel and beg for mercy,

and maybe I’ll spare your royal houses friends. Otherwise, none of you will have a peaceful life!”

Robin shook his head and smiled. “The Aldridges want to move against me? You should ask Luella whether they have the courage to do so.
“If Luella and her family dare to threaten me, I can make them disappear from the earth tomorrow!”
What the hell!
Did he just say that?
The guests were dumbfounded.
If Robin could threaten the Lynches with his own skills and connections to several royal houses, saying something so outrageous against the world’s largest super–rich family was pure madness.
Wendy shivered all of sudden.
Maverick frowned in disbelief but then gave a knowing smile.
Zayn and the others shook their heads in bitter frustration. “This guy won’t stop until he makes everything worse! What are we going to do now?”
He quietly texted Hannibal about the situation, urging him to come up with some ideas, and used his connections to prepare for the aftermath.
Otherwise, the consequences of the Aldridges‘ anger would be unimaginable.
Catherine’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She said, “Robin, you never disappoint me. I love your unshakable confidence!
“If destruction is the only way, then I’ll destroy everything with you!”
Kimberly actually giggled. She said, “I love watching you all go mad. Hahaha!”
Viola almost passed out from her rage. She said, “Fine! As you wish! Let’s see if you dare to say such bold words in front of Ms. Luella!”
With that, she quickly walked toward the mansion’s entrance, accompanied by Alger, to greet the incoming guests.

“Hello, Ms. Luella, welcome to you and your signing team! I am Viola Lynch, the CEO of Lynch Group,” she greeted warmly.
“After the contract is signed, we have arranged a series of activities for you and your team as a token of our gratitude.”
Luella paused for a moment, glancing at Viola.
She had expected the Lynches to send a middle–aged or younger representative to handle the contract.
To Luella’s surprise, Viola herself was here.
“Mrs. Lynch, it’s a pleasure,” Luella said politely, shaking her hand.
“No need for any activities, though. I can’t stay for a long time. I need to meet a very important friend afterward. Let’s sign the contract quickly,” Luella added, her tone firm.
Viola smiled, though her expression seemed to tighten slightly. “You can invite that friend of yours to join us here. We can receive him together at the mansion.”
“NO!” Luella’s smile froze instantly.
“Even without this contract signing, I still need to meet my friend. That is our most important priority,” she said, her voice steady.
“In fact, our collaboration with the Lynches is just an excuse to see my most distinguished friend more often.”
Viola awkwardly smiled. “Alright, Ms. Luella. We’ll follow your arrangements.
“Alger, where’s the signing table you prepared?” Luella asked.
Alger pointed to the left side of the mansion’s entrance where a reception gazebo had been set up. “Ms. Luella, as per your instructions, we’ve set up the signing table here. Please forgive the setup. Right this way.”
“Signing anywhere is fine,” Luella said, pointing to a man in his forties standing behind her.
“Lovell, bring out the contract. Let’s get this done quickly so I can meet Mr. Ramsey.”
Viola was almost bursting with excitement.
In fact, she was more impatient than Luella.
She was eager to sign the contract and become partners with the Aldridges.
If that happened, the struggling Lynches would rise again.
Alger guided Luella and her team swiftly into the guest hall.
The room was already set up with chairs for the signing ceremony.

Luella glanced at the elaborate setup and sighed. “Mrs. Lynch, there’s no need for all this formality.
“Our legal team has already reviewed the contract. There’s nothing complicated about it–just a simple investment,” she said, her tone businesslike.
“Let’s get it over with. Just sign here, and then I’ll sign, and we’re done. From now on, the Lynches will be in charge of managing all affairs in Southeast Aurientia for the Aldridges. You can report directly to Mr. Leon, President of the Aurientia Affairs Department.”
“Very well!” Viola eagerly grabbed the pen, signing her name under Alger’s guidance, then stamping it with the Lynch Group’s official seal.
Her hands trembled as she held the contract.
She knew that with today’s signature, the Lynches would soar to new heights.
They would quickly become known as the most prestigious family in Brighton–and possibly the best family in Southeast Australia–even without the support of the Northlorn Residence.
With the Aldridges as their ally, the Lynches‘ rise to power was imminent.
Lovell handed the pen to Luella, and Viola’s eyes darkened with a hidden malice.
Just as Luella wrote the first letter of her name, Viola’s smile faded from her face.
She said, “Ms. Luella, there’s something I need to tell you.
“At our signing venue today, someone caused a huge disturbance. He killed three of our men.”
Luella immediately stopped writing. “Mrs. Lynch, what do you mean?”
Vipla said aggrievedly, “This sc*m stormed into our premises and tried to take my granddaughter away. He even claimed that not even the Aldridges would scare him!”
Luella’s eyes flashed with anger, and she said, “The Aldridges offer the strongest protection to all our partners worldwide. Anyone who dares to challenge an ally of the Aldridges will be eradicated.”
Viola stood up excitedly and said, “Ms. Luella, you should finish signing the contract first. After that, I’ll take you to meet this arrogant man!
“I mentioned you and the Aldridges to him. That man arrogantly said that if you or the Aldridges dared to challenge him, he would make sure you disappear from the face of the earth by tomorrow.”
Luella slammed the pen down on the table. She snapped, “Who dares to be so arrogant? Lovell, let’s go and meet him!”
“Ms. Luella, please finish signing the contract,” Viola said, shocked.
“It doesn’t matter when we sign it!” Luella said coldly. “Anyone who dares to challenge us must learn what it means my family is untouchable!
“First, deal with this arrogant fool, then we’ll sign the contract!”
Viola hesitated briefly, glancing at the contract before nodding. “Alright, Ms. Luella, I’ll take you to him
now.”

She turned to Alger and instructed, “Alger, keep an eye on these contracts. Ms. Luella will sign them when she’s finished with the issue. Make sure nothing happens to them. Have extra security stationed here!”
“Yes, Mrs. Lynch!” Alger immediately called for ten bodyguards to guard the signing area, ensuring the contracts would remain safe.
This wasn’t just any contract.
It was the starting point for the birth of a future multi–billion–dollar family.
Guided by Viola, Luella quickly arrived at a small building at the southeast corner of the mansion.
A crowd of people stood around the building.
When the securities saw the Aldridges‘ team approaching, they immediately cleared a path.
“Make way! Ms. Luella is coming!”
Upon hearing the announcement, guests turned to look at Luella, whose stunning beauty was in full revelation under the midday sun.
“So this is the heiress of the Aldridges–she’s so beautiful!”
“She’s the world’s most stunning beauty!”
“This is our first time seeing the heiress of the world’s number one family. Her grace and beauty are unmatched! She’s simply divine.”
“Huh? But does Ms. Luella seem angry?”

“Mrs. Lynch had probably told her about Robin. Looks like Robin’s about to get into big trouble today!”
“No one can just provoke a superpower like the Aldridges!”
“Sigh! People should really avoid being too arrogant.”
At that moment, everyone looked sympathetically at Robin.
Under the dappled shadows of the trees, his tall figure seemed so lonely.
Robin had been far too arrogant. There had been several times he could have backed down, but he chose to stay and challenge them.
Would he dare to continue his arrogance now that the heiress of the world’s top family stood before him? Luella halted, her voice grim as she asked, “Mrs. Lynch, who is this arrogant person you’re talking about?”

Chapter 706 Are You Sure the Aldridges Want to Provoke Me?
Viola’s heart raced as she trembled with excitement, her body shivering in anticipation.
She eagerly anticipated that the Aldridges‘ bodyguards would immediately kill Robin.
The image of Robin tragically killed under the attack of those ruthless bodyguards filled her with immense joy.
The thought made her want to laugh uncontrollably.
If she had the chance, she would ask Luella to let her be the one to deliver the final blow herself.
Only then could she rid herself of this gnawing hatred.
Today, Robin had full control over how things progressed in the Lynch Mansion.
As the head of the Lynches, Viola was helpless and suffocating under his shadow.
At her own birthday party, three lives had been lost, and she couldn’t even retaliate.
It was the greatest disgrace her family had ever suffered.
If they couldn’t kill Robin, the Lynches would never be able to lift their heads in the elite circles of Draconia.
She had once thought that aligning with the Northlorn Residence would revive her family, but it turned out that not only Northlorn but other Royal Houses enjoyed watching the Lynches‘ downfall.
Moreover, Northlorn and Westeria Residences openly sided with Robin against them.
The Lynches had fallen to their lowest point, seemingly beyond saving.
Luckily, the Aldridges–the world’s wealthiest family–arrived like a rainstorm in the desert.
Luella’s team arrived just when they needed help the most.
A week ago, the Lynches received a surprising letter from the Aldridges, asking if they would like to become the Aldridges‘ agents in Southeast Aurientia.
The news of such a windfall puzzled the upper management of the Lynch Group.
The Aldridges were a legendary superfamily, only whispered about in awe.
Who could imagine an opportunity to work with them?
Let alone become their representative in Southeast Aurientia?
The letter went on to say that if the Lynches agreed, Luella, the Aldridges’ heiress, would personally lead the business team to Draconia to meet the Lynches.
Such an offer seemed too good to be true.
Adding to the oddity, the Aldridges‘ Aurientia headquarters were in Qurgh and run by Leon
The Aldridges had no need to establiet.

The conditions were incredibly generous; everything lined up perfectly, and this threw the senior management of Lynch Group into doubt.
Ninety–nine percent of the time, lucky opportunities turned out to be traps or scams.
And those who fall for them are often driven by greed or the desire for an easy gain.
True businessmen knew that nothing in this world came without cost.
There was no such thing as a high reward with no strings attached.
it still, the offer was so alluring that the Lynch Group–on the edge of ruin–couldn’t help but consider
What if the offer was real?
What if they could truly partner with a giant like the Aldridges?
If they succeeded, the Lynch Group could rise to the pinnacle in Draconia.
After days of intense discussions, the Lynch Group decided to send a public relations team to meet with Luella’s business team.
Two days ago, the public relations team confirmed the legitimacy of the Aldridges‘ offer.
Originally, the Lynch Group planned to sign the contract in Autreynia, but the very next day, they received another letter from the Aldridges,
Luella herself was coming to Brighton to sign the deal with them.
According to the original plan, she wouldn’t arrive for another two days, but unexpectedly, she had already arrived today.
Viola had thought that, in this situation, she would need to call on the Lynches‘ final trump card, Steven, to deal with the arrogant Robin.
However, she was still uncertain whether Steven would be sufficient to control the situation.
After all, Steven had long withdrawn from the public eye.
Everyone knew that Steven had turned into a living corpse after a serious illness many years ago.
Calling on Steven was only a last resort.
At least with Steven around, the Lynches would survive, but it wouldn’t stop Robin from continuing his
arrogance.
Now Luella’s timely arrival was a godsend.
Viola wiped away her tears, muttering with joy, “We aren’t finished yet. Robin, you’ll be the one to die!”
After asking, Luella noticed that Viola remained silent. She glanced at her sideways and asked coldly, “Mrs. Lynch, who exactly is the one provoking my family?”

That question jolted Viola with excitement. She quickly pointed in Robin’s direction and said, “It’s… it’s
Startled. Zayn leaped back, swiftly attempting to pull Catherine away. ‘Catherine, let’s go; someone’s going to die soon! Robin’s a fool–let him do his own thing!”
“Shut up!” Catherine shoved Zayn away and took a few steps toward Robin. She declared, “I’m not afraid of the Aldridges! Even if they’re powerful, there’s a right and wrong to everything!
If they’re rude and unreasonable, then let’s fight to the death! What’s the big deal?
Grandpa always told us that death comes to us all, and it’s just a matter of time. Even if I die today, I’ll go out in style! I’m standing with Robin and Vera, no matter what happens–so long as we’re happy!”
Catherine’s shout infuriated Luella. She asked angrily, “Mrs. Lynch, is that the girl?”
After Luella raised the question, the bodyguards behind her quickly assumed a lethal stance.
The Aldridges bodyguard team consisted of the highest–level assassins in the world, with salaries in the
billions.
They were classified into three levels, with level one being the highest.
A level–one bodyguard from the Aldridges had once been compared to the world’s top special forces by the most authoritative military review institution.
One of them could eliminate 30 of the world’s best mercenaries in an hour.
The bodyguards surrounding Luell’s best t
were all from this elite level.
Just a word from Luella, Catherine would be dead on the spot.
“No, Ms. Luella.” Viola shook her head and then pointed at Robin. “It’s him! The j*rk next to Ms. McKay! He’s the one who killed my grandchildren. He even threatened
to
erase your family from this world!
Luella followed Viola’s finger and froze.
There, in the brilliant sunlight, was the tall, handsome silhouette of a man.
The midday light bathed his figure, casting an almost magical glow around him.
Luella grew panicked in the surreal glow…
That silhouette was so familiar.
It’s him?
Could it be him?
The man who had haunted her dreams.
The one she couldn’t shake off her mind.
That man had given her and her family a second chance.
At that moment, the mansion was eerily silent.

No one understood why the heiress of the world’s most powerful family was staring, frozen, in the dazzling light.
Robin slowly turned around under the shade of the tree.
The flickering light seemed to send waves of shock, anticipation, and tremors through everyone present.
A light breeze lifted Robin’s thick, dark hair, and he flicked his sleeve before giving a brilliant smile.
“Luella, are you sure your family wants to provoke me?”
Chapter 707 You Shouldn’t Offend Mr Ramsey
“D’mn it!”
This guy seems completely out of his mind!
What a reckless fool!
To say something so utterly ridiculous…
Are you sure you want to provoke me?”
Robin’s statement stunned all the guests into silence.
How ignorant did that guy have to be to say something so stupid?

The Aldridges were not just any family–they’re the number one and the wealthiest family, with control over half of the world’s gold reserves.
Their influence was so immense that more than 90 percent of their allies were world leaders or top figures in their respective nations.
The family commands the most powerful aerial forces in the world, the largest fleet of aircraft carriers, and the highest–ranking missile commanders with the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads. The Aldridges‘ reach stretches everywhere.
If the Aldridges were ever threatened, just one word from Felix would turn any country or region into dust in an instant.
Despite everything, Robin had the audacity to say something so reckless in front of Luella. This was the ultimate self–destruction.
With the backing of several influential royal houses in Brighton, he could potentially have the strength o cause trouble with the Lynches.
But standing in front of the Aldridges, he was nothing more than an ant.
No matter how powerful a person is, they can’t take on planes, missiles, and the immense network of power that the Aldridges have.
Everyone in the room could already imagine what would happen next with Luella.
She would double over with hysterical laughter, mocking Robin’s ignorance and arrogance.
Luella, laughing, pointed at Robin and said, “My family wouldn’t even bother to glance at you. There’s not
a single place or nation in the world that is worthy of our attention. You should just die!”
Zayn was still in shock and nearly collapsed to the ground.
He rushed to Catherine’s side and whispered urgently, “Catherine, we need to leave now. This guy’s lost his mind. He’s gone crazy. If we don’t leave, he’s going to drag our family down with him!”
Catherine shot him a contemptuous look. She was too worn out to argue with him.
The young woman wrapped her arm around Robin’s and glanced at Vera, who had been clinging to Robin the whole time.

Vera smiled and shook her head. “As long as I’m with Robin, I’m not afraid of anything. These crises are always so thrilling and exciting! Being by his side, even death is worth it!”
“Good! Vera, I’m liking you more and more!” Catherine seemed to have found a kindred spirit and began exchanging excited remarks with Vera.

I just realized you’re a bit of a fool. Hahaha!
Eithan, terrified, quickly covered her mouth. “Kimberly, do you have a death wish? The biggest regret I have today is bringing you here!”
Before Luella could even react, Vera stepped in front of Robin. She said, “Ms. Luella, this whole thing started because of me.
“If you want to stand up for the Lynches, I’ll take the fall for
Din.”
Catherine wasn’t backing down either. “I’ve already killed someone here. If you want to take out your anger on me, I’m ready!
“If the Aldridges don’t care about right or wrong and want to get involved in this mess, we’ll fight to the end!”
Zayn, watching Catherine’s actions, nearly broke down in despair.
Fight till the end?
What do we have to face them with?
“Catherine! Stop being reckless! You’re going to destroy the whole Westeria Residence!”
Catherine continued walking toward Luella, holding Vera’s hand. “I handle my own business, so shut up! Our family can’t afford to lose face!
“Outrageous! How dare you insult the Aldridges?” One of Luella’s bodyguards took a step forward and was ready to strike.
Luella kicked the bodyguard’s leg and said, “You’re the one being impudent! How dare you disrespect Mr. Ramsey? I’ll deal you now!”
She then pulled a dagger from another bodyguard’s waist and stabbed the same bodyguard in the thigh. The bodyguard clutched his bleeding leg in confusion and asked, “Ms. Luella, did I do something wrong?”

“If you disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, I’ll have you killed right here!”
The bodyguard hesitated but immediately knelt. “Sorry, Mr. Ramsey!”
As Catherine and Vera approached Luella, they found themselves in a state of shock.
What was happening?
Once again, the situation took an unexpected turn in the final moments.
Vera nearly cried out in joy. She exclaimed, “I knew it! My hero could never fall!”
Catherine was completely confused. She turned around and looked at Robin, who remained calm and composed as ever. She became more captivated by him.
What a dashing man!
Even when boasting, he did so with such elegance and dominance.
The guests were all dumbfounded.
This ending was unpredictable.
How powerful must Robin be to make the Aldridges‘ heiress show such humility and reverence?
Viola, dazed, almost tripped over herself. She stammered, “Ms. Luella, y–you must be mistaken, right?” “Shut up!” Luella barked. “You old fool, today you nearly ruined the Aldridges! If you ever disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, I won’t hesitate to destroy the Lynches!”
“Ughhh!” Viola staggered back in fear.
Today’s events had been nothing short of terrifying.
Every hope had been turned upside down, every expectation shattered.
Her heart was nearly out of her chest from the shock.
But still, she wasn’t ready to give up. With a deep breath, she asked, “Ms. Luella, what are you afraid of? Is there anyone in this world who dares to challenge your family?”
“You have no right to question me!” Luella said coldly. “Mrs. Lynch, the contract between our family is now

Catherine glanced back in the direction that Luella had run from, her eyes widening in surprise.
Before her stood the scene she hadn’t expected.
Luella had rushed up to Robin and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
It was like the embrace of lovers reunited after a long separation–passionate, urgent, and full of excitement.
Catherine couldn’t help but notice Luella’s model–like figure; her shape was flawless, as if sculpted by the gods.
Her beauty was unparalleled under the dazzling sunlight.
Frustration bubbled up in Catherine, and she stomped her foot in anger.
Her eyes, once sharp and lively, now shimmered with resentment as she muttered under her breath. “Again? Really? Why is he hugging another woman? What is it with them? It drives me crazy!
“This always happens; it always leaves a hollow feeling inside, like a cat’s claws scraping at my heart. It’s so frustrating!”
She stood there fuming for a while, her face flushed with anger. But gradually, she calmed herself down. “Well, I guess this guy really is charming. Sigh! Why do I have such good taste in men? Love truly is the source of all misery.”
Vera noticed Catherine’s sour mood. She covered her mouth and laughed softly. “Catherine, what’s got you so upset? I just realized something–I think you have fallen in love with Robin.”
“Yeah, I’ve never denied it. I do like him, b–but he just doesn’t seem to feel the same way about me.” Catherine’s eyes lost their luster, her voice trailing off.
Vera whispered, “To be honest, Robin has always treated me like a brother.”
“Then why are you always sticking around him?” Catherine looked at Vera in confusion.
“What’s wrong with that? As long as I’m happy being with him, that’s enough.” Vera said gleefully, “He’s a legendary hero who’s going to conquer the world. How could women and emotions hold him down?
“If that’s true, perhaps I wouldn’t like him after all.
“I like his arrogance and his defiance–that air of being above everyone. He’s so incredibly amazing
“I just want to be that woman who admires him, watching him from afar as he soars through life.” “Huh?” Catherine bit her lip.
“Oh, I get it now. You like him, but you prefer to admire him from a distance, seeing him in all his glory.
“As long as I can be with him, that’s happiness, because he will eventually be the hero who soars across the ský.

Zayn, on the verge of making his escape, abruptly stopped. He stared at the bizarre turn of events, still trying to wrap his head around it all.
“Is this… really happening?” He muttered to himself, rubbing his eyes furiously, trying to make sense of what was happening before him.
“Did Ms. Luella have an ambiguous relationship with Robin?
D*mn it! That b*stard’s in the spotlight again.
“Why does this always happen to him? Why the hell don’t I ever get any of this luck?”
Zayn continued grumbling under his breath.
Elliott pursed his lips and said in contempt, “You’ll never reach his level, not in this life.
“You don’t even have half the guts your sister has, Zayn. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Zayn shot Elliott a glare. He said, “I’m not discussing that ridiculous topic with you! Mr. Maverick, what do you think of today’s events?”
Maverick shook his head and said, “Mr. Ramsey is unfathomable. He’s not someone we can begin to understand.”
Wendy, still shocked by Robin’s actions, looked at the scene of Robin holding Luella in his arms with disbelief. She asked, “What is going on here?
“How does Robin keep getting involved in these incredible situations? Who would’ve thought that the Aldridge heiress would be his confidante?
“Look at the way Luella is with him–if Robin asked the Aldridges for anything, they’d probably give it to him without a second thought! That’s impressive!”
Kimberly, enviously shaking her head. She sighed and said, “He’s the ultimate man! No wonder Vera and Catherine are so obsessed with him. I’m starting to fall for him too!
“I need to think carefully about how I can catch up to her!”
Trent raised an eyebrow and said, “I don’t think you’ll be able to. The Southmere Residence and Robin will have some issues to work out in the future.”
In the distance, Viola had regained her composure.
After all, she was from a top–tier family.
With decades of experience leading the Lynches, she was well–practiced in keeping her cool.
Though she couldn’t be compared to someone who remained unfazed in the dangerous situation, she still managed to stay calm amidst this unexpected turn of events.

Viola glared at Robin in the distance and muttered, “Send our elite bodyguards to deal with this!”
Robin gently pulled away from Luella’s tight embrace and shook his head. He said, “Alright, this is a misunderstanding, so I won’t pursue it any further. I’ve got other matters to attend to. Take your team and leave now.”

Robin stared at the message Luella had sent, understanding her intentions.

August 8th was her birthday, but more crucially, it was the day the blood curse would take its toll.
If the root of the curse wasn’t eradicated, Luella would cough up blood and die on that day.
Everyone has a strong will to survive, and Luella was no exception.
Especially as the heiress of the world’s wealthiest family.
In the prime of her youth and the sole heiress to the Aldridges, her life had just begun.
How could she bear to leave this vibrant world behind?
The Aldridges wanted a successor, and Luella wanted to survive this looming, insurmountable crisis. Her only hope now rested on Robin’s aid.
As Luella and her group departed, the tension in the mansion grew thick once again.
Ten imposing bodyguards, led by the head butler, stormed into the room.
The guests inside the mansion glanced in astonishment at the ten strange–looking elite bodyguards.
At first glance, their appearances and attire seemed typical of ordinary bodyguards.
But on a second look, one could feel a chilling aura of death emanating from them.
Even from a distance, the oppressive presence of these men made everyone feel an unnerving chill.
Fot
years, rumors had circulated about the Lynches having a team of mysterious shadow guards made up of extraordinary fighters hired at great expense from martial societies.
The family kept these warriors hidden within the mansion as their last line of defense.
No one had ever seen them before, until today when Viola revealed them to the public–clearly preparing for a final, desperate stand.
A trapped beast would fight ferociously!
After all, the Lynches had once been the most powerful family in Brighton, reigning for 20 years.
Under the harsh midday sun, Viola’s eyes burned with fury.
She struck her cane forcefully against the ground, pointing it directly at Robin.
“Kid! At this point, me and my family have nothing more to say to you.” Viola spat.
“I’ll admit you’re impressive! Stronger than any of those noble heirs I’ve encountered!
“Vera is my granddaughter. I arranged for Vera to marry into Northlorn Residence, and I won’t deny that I had my own selfish reasons for doing so.
“My family is powerful, and in order to survive and thrive, we can’t afford the luxuries of freedom like ordinary families. Everyone in this family must bear the weight of the family’s honor and shame!

“This is their fate, one they cannot escape.
“There is nothing in this world that is owed to anyone, nor is anything obtained without cost!
“Since they enjoy the resources, honor, and protection of the family, they must bear the weight and burdens of the family!
“They can’t have their freedom, love, or easy life!
“Every action they take must serve the family’s interests!
Of course, the family never raised Vera, so expecting her to shoulder this burden is unreasonable. You could say our family has long since removed her!
“I understand your anger, Robin. The servants made a mistake and Vera was wronged. I can understand you seeking justice. But don’t forget, the Lynches have already paid a price–three lives lost!”
The guests nodded in agreement.
Viola was the true person in charge of the Lynches. She spoke with such authority, acknowledging her family’s mistakes without denying her responsibility.
But what was she trying to imply for her last sentence?
No one could guess.
Looking at Viola and her ten bodyguards, everyone speculated that the situation would likely end in a final, decisive showdown–a deadly struggle to the end.
A cornered beast is the most dangerous opponent, after all.
With no place to retreat, the fight becomes a battle to the death.
In such a situation, the desperate resolve of someone willing to fight until the very end might instantly overwhelm even the most powerful.
The guests all turned their attention to Robin.
Robin raised an eyebrow and asked, “You mean, you want me to give you an explanation?”
Viola took a deep breath, forcing down the rising tide of fury.
“I don’t need your explanation. My family is at fault, and the matter ends here. I’ll let you and Vera go. We won’t pursue you further,” she stated, her tone steady yet icy.
A gasp swept through the mansion.
Is Viola truly letting go of Robin and Vera and sparing them completely?
The Lynches truly were one of Brighton’s top families, showing great dignity and wisdom.
They knew when to advance and when to retreat.
If they had continued to press for more, the situation would have only worsened.
Viola was the head of a prominent family who had weathered many storms.

She knew how to curb her anger and protect the family’s interests in the face of the dangerous situation.
Such a decision would be accepted without question.
Leave each other a way out, so things wouldn’t get too embarrassing when they cross paths in the future.
Everyone thought Robin would agree with Viola’s request.
A wise sage once said, “A besieged army must leave a way out, and one should not force a cornered enemy.” The wise always know when to make the right decision.
It’s best to give the enemy an escape route, even when victory is certain.
Never corner someone with no way out, even when you have absolute power.
At this point, the smartest move for Robin was to accept Viola’s offer and walk away with Vera.
With Viola’s words spoken, everyone’s gaze shifted to Robin, waiting for his decision.
His choice would determine how today’s conflict would end.
Robin gave a faint smile and said, “Your family doesn’t need to explain yourself, but I need you to give Vera an explanation.”
The room fell silent at his words.
This was a stance that showed no compromise.
The Lynches had made concessions, yet Robin was not backing down.
Many of the older guests shook their heads in disdain. “This kid is too young, too stubborn, and too inexperienced in strategy!
“Even at their worst, the Lynches are one of Draconia’s most prestigious families.
“Not to mention, Mr. Steven is a national hero of Draconia!
“Though he’s been bedridden for years, almost like a corpse, his influence is still powerful!
“If Robin truly pushes too far, the top officials in Draconia might intervene!”
Viola’s face darkened as she pointed her cane at Robin. She declared, “Young man, my family has already lost three lives. What more do you want from us?
“Think carefully. If you keep pushing, it’ll only lead to destruction for everyone.
Robin ignored her words, unfazed, and continued, “Within two hours, transfer 50% of the Lynch Group’s shares to Vera’s name. Otherwise, I’ll dismantle your family, and you can make preparations for your own
funeral.”
In an instant, the space fell silent, as if plunged into hell.
Robin was unyielding.

Viola snorted coldly and said, “You think that aside from Northlorn Residence and the Aldridges, we have no other cards to play? Alger, bring out Steven!
“Let’s see who dares to act arrogantly in front of Draconia’s national hero!”

Alger immediately led two bodyguards toward a small building on the northeast side of the Lynch Mansion.
The air in the mansion grew thick with tension.
The grand mansion, bathed in blinding sunlight and surrounded by a chilly breeze, was eerily still.
Only a few startled birds flitted nervously in the distance, their chaotic movements breaking the silence.
This magnificent mansion, so beautifully picturesque, now felt vast, desolate, unsettling, and barren.
After the brief shock, the guests began to murmur in hushed tones.
“Steven is the real backbone of the Lynches!”
“Without him, where would the once Brighton’s most prestigious family be?”
“The military leadership of Draconia once honored Steven and the older generation, like Martin and the others, as national heroes and high–ranking officers. He is one of the few senior officers left in the country!
“A man of his stature is not someone whom anyone can simply insult!”
“If Viola calls Steven out, even Robin, no matter how capable, wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in front of a national hero.”
Vera listened to the surrounding discussions and suddenly felt uneasy.
She knew exactly how powerful Steven’s position in Draconia was.
Vera wasn’t worried about the tragic fate that might happen to her, but if Robin stubbornly clashed with Draconia’s higher–ups for her sake, she couldn’t bear to see that.
She quickly walked over to Robin and whispered, “Robin, let’s go. I don’t want you to be targeted by them because of this petty matter. I’m fine; I don’t need all that money.”
Robin smiled faintly and said, “Since it’s already begun, we should be patient and see how it unfolds. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains.”
Vera looked up into Robin’s calm, untroubled eyes. Everything about him was composed and serene, and her previously panicked heart suddenly calmed.
She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
Catherine looked at Robin, hesitating.
If Robin was only dealing with people like Viola and the others from the martial society, she wouldn’t have been concerned.
But Steven was a decorated national hero.
How would Robin handle this?

Even though Steven had become a living corpse, unable to speak or sense anything, simply sitting there, he was an immovable giant.
This was the true reason the Lynches, despite their decline, still stood firm among the five great families of Brighton.
Steven was the family’s greatest reliance within Draconia.
Just as Catherine was about to approach Robin and try to reason with him, Zayn suddenly rushed to her side and grabbed her arm.
Catherine, please–I beg you–stop this. When Ms. Luella came earlier, I almost had a heart attack!
“Now, Mr. Steven is really being called out. If Robin keeps pushing, no one will be able to save him!
“Robin has already gone far enough today. He doesn’t care about his life anymore, but we shouldn’t keep getting involved.
“Don’t you know who Steven Lynch is?
“He’s a national hero and military veteran!
“Even grandpa would treat him with the utmost respect.
“Robin has gone mad. He’s picking fights with anyone he meets. He’s like a rabid dog!
“Do you believe he would dare to challenge Steven?
“He’s insane! We can’t be like him. Our family has a title!
“If you keep siding with him, even if the higher–ups don’t punish us, we’ll lose their trust and be pushed to the sidelines!
“Steven has done outstanding things for the country.
“Robin, that fool doesn’t know his own place. If he touches Mr. Steven, it would offend the entire nation!” Catherine didn’t argue with her brother. She simply bit her lip and whispered, “I know. Of course I do. “But I should still make an effort to speak with him. At least, let’s not leave immediately.
“I believe Robin will handle this correctly, balancing right and wrong.”
Even though she said this, she still didn’t know how Robin would deal with the Lynches‘ ultimate trump
card.
Maverick hesitated, also uncertain.
He didn’t want Robin to miss out on the chance to lead the elite team in the international tournament due to this issue.
Ithe mishandled this situation and angered the higher–ups, Robin would certainly lose his position as the commander in the upcoming tournament.
If that happened, all their previous tournament plans would be shattered.

Thinking this, Maverick stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Mr. Ramsey. I think it’s best to stop now.
“If Ms. Silva still feels wronged, afterward, we can pressure the major Royal Houses to get the Lynches to make appropriate compensations.”
Robin glanced at Maverick and snorted. “Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Move out of my way!”
Maverick was immediately silenced.
He realized he had overstepped.
A man like Robin didn’t need anyone to give him advice on how to handle things.
Zayn shook his head, looking at Maverick’s awkward expression. He said, “Mr. Maverick, he’s so stubborn. No matter how much you try to persuade him, it won’t work.”
Maverick took a deep breath and looked at Elliott and Trent standing nearby.
“Mr. Chandler and Mr. Baxter, you know Mr. Ramsey better than I do. Don’t you think it’s time to talk to him? Things have already gone too far; it’s time to compromise.”
Trent shook his head and said, “It’s not your problem, so of course, you just want everyone to get along.
“There’s a saying: if you haven’t suffered, don’t tell others to be good. If you’ve suffered, you may not be able to remain kind–hearted.
“You’re not Ms. Silva, nor are you Mr. Ramsey. How do you know the best approach to handle the problem?”
Maverick shook his head in silence.
Elliott scoffed coldly and said, “If it were you, you might have handled it more aggressively!”
As everyone speculated how Robin would face Steven, Alger appeared again.
He rushed toward them, carrying an armchair with two bodyguards.
A man around 60 years old followed behind them.
A military blanket covered the armchair, and an elderly, frail man lay in it.
His thin, withered face was covered in white hair, and his eyes closed tight.
This was Steven, Draconia’s decorated national hero.
He was carried to the open grounds in front of the mansion.
The heirs of the Royal Houses immediately fell silent, standing respectfully to the side.
They inherited this etiquette from their forefather.
Whenever a national hero or any other heroic figure was present, they had to show 120% respect.

People like Steven gave their lives and blood to create this peaceful land, enabling others to enjoy the present happiness.
At this moment, the mansion was eerily quiet and solemn.
Everyone gazed at Steven, who had long lost consciousness.
More than ten years ago, Steven had fallen into a coma, unable to wake up.
Rumors had spread that he had passed away, but Viola had repeatedly assured everyone that Steven was still alive, though in a state of recuperation.
Once Steven was settled, Viola looked up at Robin and asked, “Young man, what kind of explanation do you want from us? You can tell Mr. Steven about it.”
