Robin left the bamboo grove and moved quickly around the side of the cafe, heading straight for the main
entrance.
The back courtyard of Lake Dragonia held no more answers for him.
Flint, one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, was no stranger to danger.
He had surely spotted the two Sakurania assassins the moment they entered the backyard.
Robin recalled how the lights went out as soon as Jack stepped into that room.
The fact that they shut off so quickly meant that Flint’s security system had already picked up their
presence.
Robin was sure of his own skills–he knew his movements were nearly undetectable. He’d slipped past Flint and Jack without them ever noticing.
But the fact that he and Joanna had been inside the cafe? That was information they already had Flint and Jack would have figured it out by now,
Tonight. Robin was certain he would meet Flint face to face.
Flint had been hiding in plain sight for years, changing his appearance and using new names.
It couldn’t just be a simple café. There had to be more to it.
Robin’s thoughts raced. Was Flint waiting for something?
A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Without realizing it, he’d become part of the Dragon Manor mystery.
If Old Fred really had been Dragon Slayer’s silent protector, then everything he had done–every step he had taken, even bringing Robin to Draconia–had been intentional.
Since his arrival, it had always felt as if someone was guiding him toward the truth, pulling him along a path he couldn’t avoid.
And now, everyone he’d met seemed to be tied to it all
What was Old Fred really playing at?
The question hit him like a jolt. He needed to confront him. A trip to Fricana was looking more and more
necessary.
His mind spun with thoughts of Dragon Manor as he stood before the cafe’s entrance.
And then, suddenly, he froze.
Robin scanned the room of the cafe. The air was calm, almost too calm, and the faces around him seemed distant–like reflections in a foggy mirror.

If someone had uncovered Flint’s secret, it had to be someone inside Café Lake Dragonia,
Flint had kept his identity hidden for 20 years.
Yet here they were, the Northern Star Sword School, knowing exactly who he was.
The danger was closer than he thought. It was in the very walls of the café.
He didn’t hesitate. His fingers flew over his phone, activating his connection to the Dark Web intelligence network. “Find the mole,” he typed quickly. “Now.”
The response was slower than expected.
The Dark Web team was known for their speed, for their ability to find anything, anywhere.
So how had they missed the fact that Flint Redwood was the owner of this café?
For a moment, there was only silence on the other end. Then, shock gave way to urgency. The team mobilized, diving into the data with everything they had, scouring the café’s every detail.
Second Floor of Café Lake Dragonia.
Melissa sat at the table, her anger building like a storm. She didn’t bother hiding it. Her eyes burned, and her fists were clenched tight.
Marge, watching the tension rise, sighed softly. She knew things were about to get worse. She stood up and moved in front of Joanna, blocking her view.
Joanna, Miss Brenda, we should move. It’s better not to cause trouble.”
“We came here to relax, not fight.”
“They can have the table.”
Brenda didn’t look ready to give up. She stared at the table, at the pastries and the coffee, like they were her last treasures. “Why should we give up our seats? Who decided these belong to them?”
Melissa, hearing the challenge, raised an eyebrow. She sneered, the corners of her mouth curling up. I’ll forgive your ignorance,” she said, her tone cold. “You’re young, so I’ll explain. Here’s why you should leave.”
“Because I’m richer than you.”
“I’m from the Fields family, one of the five great houses of Brighton. What about you? Who are you?”
“I have connections. People know me. A lot more people than know you.”
“Tm friends with the sons and daughters of Brighton’s Royal Houses. Do you even know any of them?”
“And most importantly, I want this table. So get up. Now.”
“Now, do you see?”

“Society doesn’t have enough for everyone. The resources go to people like us–elites, nobles. The rest of you? You get whatever’s left over.”
“You’re lucky you even get the scraps we don’t want.”
“Walk up Dragon Manor Street. At the end, you’ll find a market. A bunch of drunks and beggars hang around there. It’s where people like you belong.
“Places like this are for us. The classy ones. The ones who matter.”
“Get up. Move. Now. Or I swear, I won’t waste any more time with you.”
“When my friend Michelle and Mr. McKay from the Westeria Residence get here, I’ll be done playing
nice.”
Robin, standing a few feet away, finally stepped forward. His eyes locked onto Melissa. Is that so? Take that b*tchy attitude of yours and f*ck out of my sight. Wag a little when you leave. At least give us some entertainment, b*tch.
Melissa froze. “What did you just call me?”
“I thought dogs were supposed to have good hearing. What, you got a problem with me?” Robin pointed at the waiter with scorn.
“You, get your boss here. I have questions for him. I don’t remember establishments like this allowing dirty strays in. For all we know, she might be rabid.”
*F*ck out of my sight, or I’ll be done playing Mr. Nice Guy”
“Y–You called me a dog?” Melissa couldn’t believe this.
None in Brighton would dare speak ill of her, much less insult her.
She would not stand for this.
“Please, don’t tell me your fragile ego is broken. One more pile of hot sh*t out of that filthy mouth of yours, and it’ll be more than your ego I break.”
Robin grabbed a glass of milk, but before he could take a sip, Melissa spat in it.
“My word.” Robin shook his head. “Everywhere I go, I’m surrounded by idiots. You could’ve taken the hit and left with dignity, but you just had to learn things the hard way.”
Melissa let out a laugh, cold and cruel. “Do you even know who I am?” she asked, her eyes narrowing. “I’m the daughter of the Fields family. You’ll regret this, I promise.”
“If you think you can humiliate me and get away with it just wait. You’ll pay.”
Robin, calm as ever, slid the milk toward the waiter. “Take the cigarette butts and napkins,” he said quietly. and put them in here.”
The waiter stared down at the milk, his face blank with confusion. He didn’t understand what Robin
meant.

Melissa’s eyes flicked over to him. A slow, understanding smile crept across her face. She pointed at the waiter “Yes,” she said sharply. Put the trash in the cup. And don’t forget to spit in it.”
The waiter’s confusion only grew. He didn’t know what to make of this.
Melissa’s voice dropped to a harsh whisper. “Don’t you know who I am? If you don’t do what I say, the Fields family will take care of you.”
The waiter froze. He knew what that name meant in Brighton. The name carried weight.
With a quick, disgusted gesture, he pinched his nose and spit several thick globs of yellow phlegm into the milk cup
Then he hurried to the nearby trash can and ashtray. He grabbed a few cigarette butts, then dropped them into the milk.
Finally, he snatched a handful of napkins–streaked with lipstick and mucus–and shoved them into the cup, filling it to the brim with garbage.
The waiter, trembling, carefully carried the milk to Robin. His hands shook, but he didn’t dare spill a drop.
Melissa grabbed the cup from him, her smile cold and cruel. “Drink it,” she ordered, her voice sharp. you do. I might just forgive the way you’ve treated me.
Robin didn’t speak. He stood still, staring at her. But before he could reply, Marissa stepped forward, her voice gentle. “Robin,” she said, “Just let it go. It’s not worth it.”
Marge, standing close by, agreed. “She’s not worth it, Mr. Ramsey. We’ve been trying to enjoy ourselves. Let’s not make a scene.”
Melissa laughed, a sound that felt like ice. “What’s wrong?” she jeered. “Scared now?”
“Go ahead,” she said, waving her hand dismissively. “Drink it. I can’t be bothered to argue with people like
you.”
Chapter 732 Why Don’t You Ask Him?
“Alright,” Robin said, his voice calm. “No problem. Drink it” He grabb wiped his hands slowly.
Melissa paused, stunned for a moment.
She stood there, staring at the cup in her hands. It did make sense.
Robin had agreed so quickly. She wasn’t prepared for that.
Brenda and Joanna were just as shocked,
the wet napkin from the plate and
They didn’t understand why Robin would go along with this–why he would even consider drinking something so vile.
For a few seconds, no one knew what to say.
Marrisa tugged at Robin’s sleeve, her fingers tight.
She wanted to stop him and tell him not to play her game. This was too much. There was no need to drink the disgusting thing in front of him.
What was happening to him today?
“Mr. Ramsey…” Marge’s voice was uncertain. She watched as Robin slowly got to his feet.
Robin gave her a small, unreadable smile. “Well, if Ms. Fields insists, I guess I’ll have to comply,” he said, shrugging. She has money, connections, and she’s part of the elite.”
Melissa laughed, a sound full of pride. She raised the cup, her eyes gleaming with triumph. ‘Now you’re getting it,” she said, her voice full of self–satisfaction. “Maybe one day, if I’m in a good mood, I’ll give you a chance to rise. Who knows? Drink up.”
Robin’s grin spread wide across his face. “Alright, bottoms up!”
Melissa couldn’t stop laughing. The sound bubbled up from deep inside opened her mouth wide, laughing with reckless abandon.
The sound of someone chugging down the milk echoed around the table.

In the next breath, everyone watched in disbelief as Melissa drank the entire glass of milk in one go.

Melissa sucked in a quick breath.
The lumps of phlegm shot into her mouth with a soft, wet whoosh.
Brenda gasped, looking like she might lose her lunch. She turned away, her stomach churning.
Marrisa and Marge shared a brief look, both shaking their heads in disbelief. They sighed in relief, their

Marrisa threw Robin a sharp glance. What is wrong with this kid? Always stirring things up….

Joanna glanced between Robin, the confused Melissa, and Faustus. She shook her head, trying to hold back a laugh.
Melissa let out a loud burp, her eyes wide with surprise. She glanced around, her face a mix of confusion and shock. “Wait… how did I even drink that milk?”
Robin’s smirk deepened. “You’ve done something impressive. You’ve proven exactly who you are–a piece of trash. Now, get out of here.”
Laughter rang out across the second floor of the café.
For a moment, Melissa froze. Her mind went blank. Then it hit her–like a punch to the gut.
Robin moved so fast that no one could see her. But she knew. She was the only one who understood what had happened.
He’d shoved that cup of milk into her mouth.
as of
Now, the thought of what she’d just swallowed made her stomach twist. Phlegm, cigarette butts, scraps paper–she could feel it all inside her. She couldn’t breathe.
She screamed, fury burning in her chest. “You b’stard! How could you do this to me? I’ll kill you!”
Her fingers dug into her throat, trying to force everything back up.
But it wouldn’t come. No matter how hard she gagged, the milk, the phlegm, the cigarettes–they stayed in her stomach, mocking her.
She managed to cough up one cigarette butt, the vile thing hanging from her lips
But as her mouth opened, ready to spit it out, Robin tapped his foot against the floor.
And just like that, she sucked it back in.
She was lost. She had no idea what was happening.
Everything felt out of her control, like someone else was pulling the strings.
Faustus stared at Melissa, his face pale with disgust. “You… how could you be so vile? I just kissed you. I thought I was kissing a woman, not some filthy dog!”
“Your were so quick to push them out, but why the hell did you drink that milk yourself?”
“Melissa,” he said slowly, shaking his head, “I think you’ve completely lost it.”
Melissa’s face turned red with anger. She stamped her foot, her voice cracking with desperation. “No, I swear! I didn’t want to drink it! It was him! He’s the one who made me! I’m not crazy, okay?!”
Faustus stepped back again, his eyes narrowing. “I saw you drink it, Melissa. You downed it like it was nothing. There’s something wrong with you. We don’t want someone like you in my family.”

“Faustus, pleasel” Melissa begged, grabbing his arm. “You have to believe me! It was him! He’s the one who made me do it!” She turned to Robin, her fury building “You bʻstard! I’ll make you pay for this!”
Robin stepped forward, his voice low and threatening. You want to call me names? Keep it up, and you won’t like the consequences”
Joanna stood up quickly, stepping between them. “Mr. Ramsey, please. That little lesson was enough. Let them go.
Robin looked at her, his gaze softening just for a moment. “Fine,” he said, a faint smirk on his lips. “But sometimes the winds don’t stop just because the trees ask them to.”
Joanna turned to Melissa. “Melissa, it’s over. Let it go, and leave now.”
Melissa’s rage flared. “I drank that filth, and you think I should just forget about it? You dirty little–who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do?” She pointed a shaking finger at Joanna’s face, lifting her hand to slap her.
Before she could strike, Robin grabbed her wrist in a swift motion. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t want it. Now, you’ve pushed your luck.”
In one smooth motion, he threw her aside.
Melissa’s body soared through the air like a bird with no wings, her arms and legs flailing in all directions.
Her dress fluttered wildly behind her, but she couldn’t steady herself.
She flew over tables, her body twisting as she crashed through the air.
Finally, she slammed into the floor at the base of the stairs with a sickening thud.
The sound of her fall echoed through the café, followed by a chorus of shocked gasps.
The thud rang through the café. It echoed off the walls, loud and sharp.
What had been a quiet, peaceful place was now full of chaos.
Melissa crashed to the floor, her limbs splayed out in every direction. Her body hit the ground with a sickening thump, like a ragdoll thrown carelessly.
The wood on the floor saved her. If it had been anything harder, she would have been hurt much worse.
Her bones were fine, but her face–her beautiful face–was a mess.
Blood trickled down her cheeks, staining her skin. Her teeth, which she’d spent so much money on, were now gone, scattered somewhere on the floor.
Zayn and Michelle, led upstairs by the staff, reached the second floor.
Just as they turned the corner, they saw Melissa lying there.
“Melissa?” Michelle’s voice was filled with disbelief. “What happened to you?”
Melissa wiped blood from her eyes. Her hands trembled as she realized who stood above her.

“Michelle! You’re here!” she cried, her voice cracking. “Tye been attacked! A group of thugs did this to me!”
“Mr. McKay, she hissed, “those b’stards! We need to teach them a lesson they won’t forget. We’ll make them pay for this!”
Zayn’s eyes moved over Melissa, taking in the sight of her battered face. He frowned.
Who would be brave enough to do something like this to someone from the Fields?
Michelle was furious. “Let’s find out who did this, Zayn. They won’t get away with it. Not today.”
Zayn nodded. His voice was calm, but there was a steel edge to it. “We’ll get to the bottom of this. Ms. Field, we’ll fix this.”
Michelle helped Melissa to her feet. The three of them walked toward the booth where Robin and the others were sitting.
When they reached it, Zayn and Michelle froze.
Melissa, holding her side, seethed with anger. “You b’stard!” she snarled. “Do you know who my friends. are? Mr. McKay. You’ve heard of him, right? He’s the heir to the Westeria Residence!”
She pointed a shaking finger at Robin. “You better kneel and cut off your hand right now. Or Mr. McKay will be the one to do it for you.”
Robin raised an eyebrow, unfazed. He looked at Zayn, then back at Melissa, as if she were a mere annoyance. “Really?” he said, his voice lazy. “Why don’t you ask him if he still has the guts to do it?”

Melissa laughed, the sound sharp and almost frantic.
“This has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!” She shook her head in disbelief.

“This is Mr. Zayn McKay, heir to the Westeria Residence. Of course he has the guts to destroy you!”
Robin gave her a cold, almost bored smile. “Mr. McKay, she’s talking to you.”
Zayn’s face turned bright red. He opened his mouth, le nothing came out.
In that moment, all he could think about was slapping Melissa across the face.
Why did she have to pick Robin of all people to mess with? Robin, who seemed totally unbothered by everything.
“Mr. McKay, with all your wealth and power, surely you aren’t worried about killing him.” Melissa looked at Robin like he was an ignorant fool.
Did he honestly think he could talk like that? Did he not understand who Zayn McKay was?
In Brighton, everyone knew Zayn. He was the charming, untouchable heir to the McKay family.
He didn’t need to do anything. A single word from him, and his enemies were erased from existence.
But instead of seeing Zayn step up and put Robin in his place, Melissa saw him standing there, frozen, his face twisted in confusion, unsure of how to respond.
“Mr. McKay, what’s happening? You’ve got to help me get back at them!”
“Michelle, tell him something!”
Michelle’s lips were pressed tight, her head shaking with determination.
Zayn exhaled deeply, his face tense. “Melissa, let’s put an end to this. You should apologize to Mr. Ramsey. I’m sure, with his character, he’ll let it go.”
“What? You want me to say sorry to him?” Melissa’s eyes widened. She turned to Michelle, her voice filled- with disbelief.
Michelle nodded slowly, her face full of concern. “Melissa, just listen to Zayn–It’s not too late to walk away from this…
Melissa blinked, still in shock. “Wait, what?”
Zayn, heir to Westeria Residence, and Michelle, from the most powerful family in Brighton–both of them were telling her to back down.
Instead of standing up for her, they wanted her to apologize.
Was something wrong with them? Had they just had a drink? Were they still dazed?

Before Melissa could make sense of it, a man in his thires entered the café.
He was quickly followed by a staff member and two security guards.
He bowed slightly, his tone respectful. “Mr. McKay, Ms Kendall, Ms. Field, I apologize on behalf of the cafe for what’s happened here.”
Zayn stepped forward, his voice sharp. “Don’t get us mixed up. This has nothing to do with us.
Samson Beeswax, the lobby manager, chuckled awkwardly. “Ah, right, Mr. McKay. Please, take a seat. I’ll sort this out and then I’ll attend to you,”
Melissa’s face twisted with frustration, and before anyone could react, tears welled in her eyes. “You’re the lobby manager?” she demanded, her voice tight with emotion.
Samson, trying to smooth things over, nodded and smiled. “Yes, Ms. Field. I’m Samson Beeswax, the lobby manager here.”
He took a cautious step forward. “I just found out about this. I’m truly sorry you’ve had to go through all this. Please, take a moment to sit down. I’ll make sure everything’s handled properly.”
Melissa’s anger flared. She pointed a shaking finger at Robin. “This jerk hit me! If you don’t give me a real answer. I’ll have our family’s butler come here and deal with it!”
Samson’s smile didn’t falter, though his eyes darted nervously. “Ms. Field, please don’t be upset Cafe Lake Dragonia has a policy. Anyone who causes trouble here… well, let’s just say the punishment is severe. For small issues, we break arms and legs. For bigger problems, we… take care of it.”
He gave her a reassuring look. “Don’t worry, Ms. Field. make sure this is resolved to your satisfaction.”
With that, Samson motioned for two security guards to step forward. Together, they walked toward Robin. “Did you hit Miss Melissa?” Samson asked, his tone now firm.
Robin didn’t say a word.
Samson’s patience snapped. “Are you deaf, or are you just ignoring me?” His voice thundered, rising with frustration.
Robin, however, was lost in the message on his phone. He barely registered Samson’s words.
“The insider at Cafe Lake Dragonia is the lobby manager, Samson Beeswax. He’s from Sakurania. Adopted by a farmer at the age of three after coming to Draconia. He went to Brighton University and joined Cafe Lake Dragonia after graduating ten years ago.”
Robin finished reading the text, then looked up, his eyes locking onto Samson’s. “Are you talking to me?” he asked, his voice flat.
Samson’s face twisted in anger. “Stop playing dumb Who else would I be talking to? Apologize to Ms. Field. right now. And get out of this café!”
Robin set his phone down, his face urireadable. “You don’t talk to me like that. Kneel.”
Before anyone could react, Samson collapsed to his knees with a loud thud.

“Did he just tell you to kneel? And you actually did it? You’re pathetic! If you can’t handle this, I’ll have our butler come and deal with it for you!”
Zayn let out a deep sigh. “Melissa, you need to let this go. If you don’t, things could get really ugly.”
Melissa didn’t understand why he was saying this, but the way she’d been treated today–nothing like she’d ever experienced–was enough to drive her mad.
If she didn’t act now, she’d probably lose control.
With shaking hands, she pulled out her phone, ready to call the Fields‘ butler for backup.
That’s when the noise started. From the entrance of the second–floor lobby, a rush of movement.
Four security guards pushed through the crowd.
And then, behind them, a tall figure emerged. A man with a thick beard and sharp eyes.
He looked to be in his fifties, his body strong, his stare piercing.
This was Flint, the owner of Cafe Lake Dragonia.
RE
He was also one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, a name known far and wide across Dragon Palace.
His face was set in a grim expression as he walked toward Robin.
The entire second–floor lobby fell silent.
“Flint!” Samson yelled, panic in his voice. This b*stard did something to me! I… I can’t move!”
Flint shot him a cold glance, then placed two quick, firm slaps on Samson’s shoulder.
Samson felt the tension melt away and tried to rise to his feet.
But Robin wasn’t done. He stepped forward and kicked Samson hard in the shoulder. “Stay down.”
Samson’s knee, which had barely lifted, slammed back down into the floor.
The wooden boards cracked beneath him.
Pain shot through Samson’s body. His teeth clenched as he groaned. “You – you b*stard. How dare you hit
“Are you trying to insult me?” Robin hissed, his foot snapping up. In one swift motion, Samson’s face hit the floor.
A sharp crack rang out as Samson’s blood splattered across the wooden boards. He screamed, agony twisting his voice.
Flint watched, his eyes narrowing, his expression unreadable. His body was still as stone.

Zayn and Michelle exchanged a quick, silent look. They shook their heads but said nothing
They had seen Robin act this way before.
But now, with Flint standing before them, they had no due how this would end.
For 20 years, Flint had kept a low profile as the owner of Cafe Lake Dragonia.
But everyone knew one thing about his café–there were no second chances for troublemakers
Anyone who caused a scene here would lose a hand, a foot, or worse.
Years ago, a man from a martial society tried to test Flint’s rules. He threw a tantrum, shouting, fighting in the café.
The next morning. Brighton’s streets were stained with his blood. His limbs had been severed, and he lay barely breathing on the pavement.
Melissa stood frozen for a moment, shocked. She wiped her eyes, then stepped toward Flint. “Flint, this b’stard hit me….
Flint raised a hand to stop her, his voice as cold as ice. I know exactly what happened. You started th provoked him. Now you’re being punished for it. You’re not the victim.”

“But I’m the daughter of the Fields!” Melissa’s voice shook with fury.
Flint’s eyes slowly lifted to meet hers. “The Fields? What does that mean here?” His voice was like steel.
“You can break every rule you want, but there’s always a cost. And right now, while I’m still feeling generous, you should leave.”
Before he even finished, Robin pulled out a gun, pointing it straight at Flint.
Chapter 734 Count Your Blessings
Chapter 734 Count Your Blessings
Robin’s hand shot out, pulling the gun from his coat. The whole room went still.
Flint didn’t move. His eyes were cold, unreadable.
Then, the silence shattered. Screams filled the café, sharp and full of panic. All of a sudden, the second floor became unnervingly quiet.
Marrisa and the others were frozen, their minds struggling to catch up with what they had just witnessed
What had happened? How had Robin gone from an argument to pulling a gun?
Before anyone could make sense of it, the sharp crack of the shot rang out..
The bullet sped through the air, slicing past Melissa’s car, barely missing Flint’s face.
It flew across the room, striking a man standing by the stairs. The bullet hit his forehead with brutal force.
His head exploded. Blood splattered everywhere. The hole left behind was the size of a small fist
The other customers dropped to the ground, scrambling for cover.
“Someone’s dead!” The café erupted into chaos, screams echoing louder than before.
Melissa didn’t react right away. She grabbed her head, as if the pain there could somehow stop the rest of her from falling apart. Then, in one swift motion, she collapsed to the floor.
The shock surged through her. It hit like a tidal wave, and she couldn’t hold it back. A wet patch spread under her. She hadn’t meant to, but fear had made her lose control. She’d actually wet herself.
She couldn’t believe it. The guy she thought she could push around–Robin–had a gun.
Her eyes locked onto him. He stood perfectly still, his face as calm as a morning breeze.
A cold fear wrapped around her chest, squeezing tighter with every second.
This man was dangerous. The way he killed without flinching–it was pure terror.
Was he even human? Or some kind of monster?
Flint, however, was unchanged. He still stood where he had before, as if nothing had happened. His face gave nothing away.
Robin’s actions–shooting a man right there–seemed to mean nothing to Flint. It was like he was used to
Zayn and Michelle were frozen, their faces pale. Sweat dripped from their brows.
They had seen Robin cause chaos before, but this was different.
A single word, a single action, and he could end a life without hesitation.

If she had seen Robin in action before, Zayn was certain that even if Robin slapped her, she wouldn’t have dared to say a word.
Zayn had been smart to step away froin Melissa just moments before,
If he hadn’t, the bullet Robin fired might have passed right by them.
The thought made his stomach twist in unease.
After a short, loud uproar, the security guards from Cafe Lake Dragonia swarmed up to the second floor.
They quickly formed two rows, standing close to Flint, waiting for his command,
Several of them kept their eyes trained on Robin, who still held the gun firmly in his hand. Slowly, they began moving closer to him.
Each guard was armed with a stun baton, their intention clear: disarm Robin, one way or another. “Drop the gun!” one of them shouted, his voice sharp.
But Flint’s voice rang out, cool and commanding, silencing everything. “Back off, all of you!” he snapped.
The guards stopped in their tracks, confused.
“But Flint, he just killed someone in our café!” one of them said urgently.
Flint didn’t flinch. His expression remained as cold as stone. That man deserved to die,” he said flatly.
The head of security, hesitant but loyal, stepped forward. “Flint…
Flint’s expression turned grim as he pointed to the dead man on the floor. “Find out who he is,” he commanded, his voice quiet but sharp.
The security captain nodded and motioned for two guards to approach the body. They moved quickly. checking the man’s pockets and clothing
A moment later, they pulled out several weapons: a set of shurikens and a small blade. These were not the tools of an ordinary thug. Only the Sakurania elite assassins used such items.
The captain’s eyes widened as the pieces fell into place. He understood now.
Flint had known exactly who the man was.
Flint scanned the room, his eyes sweeping over the shocked faces of the remaining guests.
“Everyone, please listen,” he said, his voice calm but commanding. “We’ve had a little incident here tonight. To make up for the disturbance, I’ll be covering all your bills.”
“There’s still some cleanup to do, so for now, the evening is over. But don’t worry. Next time you visit, you’ll get a 20 percent discount.”
“When you leave, please stop by the front desk to pick up your voucher.”

The guests didn’t need to be told twice. They gathered their things quickly and left, eager to escape the strange tension that hung in the air.
The sound of the gunshot upstairs had reached the lobby, drawing the attention of the guests below. They stared up at the second–floor stairwell, wondering what was happening.
nun
Catherine, Wendy, Kimberly, and the others found themselves swept up in the crowd.
As they reached the second floor, Wendy’s eyes brightened. She quickly grabbed Catherine’s arm.
“Catherine, I think Robin’s over there with the group causing all the trouble.”
Catherine’s eyes widened. “Robin’s involved in this? Lets go see.”
She pushed her way through the crowd. trying to spot him, but it was like moving through a sea of people.
No matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t see him. The crowd was too thick, and she couldn’t get any
closer.
Frustrated, she stamped her foot. “What is it with all these people? Why can’t anyone just stay home tonight? Why come here just to drink coffee?”
Kimberly laughed “Catherine, why are you so worked up? Robin’s fine. No one dares mess with him. If they do, they’re asking for trouble. You’re getting all nervous over nothing.”
Catherine glared at Kimberly. Tm not nervous! I just think these people are crazy. Don’t they have anything better to do than crowd in here for coffee?”
Wendy gave Catherine’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “Catherine, take it easy. You came here to drink coffee too. Why shouldn’t other people be doing the same?”
“Relax. Your guy isn’t in any real danger. You’re so worked up. It’s like women in love get all crazy.”
Catherine’s checks flushed, her face going bright red. “Are you two making fun of me? Get lost!” she snapped
Kimberly, seeing Catherine get all frazzled, covered her mouth and laughed. “Okay, okay. Let’s just get through the crowd before Catherine loses it completely
Flint stood still, his eyes fixed on Melissa, who remained sitting on the floor, dazed. “Ms. Field,” he said in a cold voice, “Are you still here because you have more demands?”
It took Melissa a moment to respond, her mind still trying to process everything. “No… no more demands,” she muttered, her voice barely audible
Flint let out a sharp, dismissive laugh. This mess started because of you. You’ll pay three times the cost of everything at the front desk. Now, get out of here.”
“Okay okay.” Melissa whispered. She scrambled to her feet and ran out, trying to make her way through
the crowd.
As she pushed through the crowd, she collided with Catherine.

Catherine’s eyes widened when she saw Melissa’s bloodied face. “What happened to you? What’s going on?”
Melissa, seeing Catherine, Wendy, and Kimberly standing in front of her, immediately broke down in
tears.
“Catherine, Wendy, Kimberly… I’ve had the worst day
Catherine took a step back, avoiding Melissa’s attempt to hug her. “What’s going on? Tell me what happened.”
Melissa wiped her tears, her voice shaking with frustration. “Robin… he bullied me. He hit me!
“Robin?” Catherine’s face, once calm, hardened.
“He hit you? If he hit you, you should count yourself lucky!”
In a swift motion, Catherine slapped Melissa across the face. “If I had been there, I would have killed you!”
“Get out! If you or anyone from the Fields ever dares to disrespect Robin again, I’ll wipe your whole family off the map!”
Melissa froze, her eyes wide.
She never imagined Catherine would know Robin. Even less did she expect her to go this far for him.
She looked to Wendy and Kimberly, hoping for some help. “Wendy, Kimberly…“she mumbled.
Wendy gave her a casual shrug. “Melissa, Robin’s Catherine’s hero. Plus, he’s a Major General in the Special Forces.
“Good thing you didn’t send your butler to fix this, Wendy added with a grin “Otherwise, even if your family somehow gets ten times its power right away, it wouldn’t be enough to save you from getting crushed
Kimberly nodded, a wicked smile on her lips. “Exactly. You should be thankful. Next time, maybe tone down the arrogance.”
Melissa stood there, stunned, her mind racing.
How had she gotten tangled up with someone so powerful?
All her boasting about money and connections seemed hollow now.
In the presence of someone like Robin–someone so calm, so controlled–she was nothing but an ant,
She glanced at Catherine, Wendy, and Kimberly–rich entitled girls who were all friends with Robin. then, without another word, she turned and ran.
Tears blurred her vision as she fled, her voice barely a whisper.
“What is going on today?”

Chapter 735 The Wench
Catherine, Wendy, and Kimberly weaved their way through the crowd, inching toward Robin’s boot
Catherine opened her mouth to speak, but then she froze. Her eyes landed on Samson, kneeling on the floor. She shut her mouth quickly.
Robin had things to handle, and interrupting him now wouldn’t help anyone, Catherine knew better than to disturb him.
Robin reached for a napkin, wiping his hands slowly. His eyes drifted to the table where cold milk, coffee, and untouched pastries sat. He sighed heavily.
“Mrs. Leif, Marrisa, Joanna, Brenda,” he began, his voice steady but carrying a hint of frustration. “I wanted this to be a nice, quiet weekend. A chance to relax. But, of course, we end up in the middle of this mess
He glanced around at the others, his gaze softening. “Let’s try again. We’ll find a better time to meet up”
Joanna gave a gentle smile. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ramsey. We couldn’t have predicted this. Next time, we’ll pick a day that works,”
Robin gave a small nod. “Alright, let’s go.”
The group rose from their seats, ready to leave.
Across the room, Flint, who had been standing in the shadows, suddenly seemed to snap to attention. His gaze, once distant, sharpened with surprise.
He watched Robin and Joanna, their faces soft in the cafe’s golden light. There was something about them -the way they looked, the way they carried themselves–that struck a chord in him.
His mouth twitched, as if trying to make sense of the feeling bubbling up inside him.
For a moment, his eyes stayed locked on them, his mind racing, struggling to figure out why their presence seemed so hauntingly familiar.
“Sir?” Flint’s voice cracked, his body shaking as the word left his mouth before he could catch it.
Marge, standing closest to him, froze. The word hit her like a slap. She turned sharply to look at Flint, her eyes wide with confusion.
For a moment, she didn’t understand. Then, as the pieces clicked into place, the shock turned to realization. Flint must know Young Lord Dragon.
She glanced at Robin and Joanna, their presence suddenly too familiar. The way they moved, the way v carried themselves–it reminded her so much of someone she once knew. Sir
Without thinking, Marge grabbed Joanna’s arm and yanked her away.
“We need to go. Now,”
She pushed through the crowd, pulling Joanna with her her movements frantic.

Robin watched them leave, his brow furrowing. Marge sudden panic wasn’t normal. Something had triggered it–something Flint had said.
Sir: That’s what he said.
Flint stood motionless, his eyes locked on Joanna’s back. He seemed lost, as though the sight of her had pulled him into a memory he couldn’t escape.
Flint was one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul. He had grown up with Young Lord Dragon.
They were like brothers, trained side by side, learning together, living together. Flint had known him better than anyone.
Could it be? Could the young lord who had vanished all those years ago really be standing right there in front of him?
If that was true, then Joanna–Joanna must be the sister he thought he’d lost 20 years ago.
Marge had to be the same woman who once carried the basket on her back.
But something puzzled Robin. The woman Steven had described–the one with a mole on the back of her neck–didn’t have it.
Even if, for safety reasons, Marge had removed the mole, there should still be some trace of it. A scar, perhaps.
Robin trusted Brenda. She didn’t lie. She didn’t make mistakes like that.
Still, Marge’s neck was clean, without any sign of a mole
Steven had been adamant. He had seen the woman with the basket that night, and the mole had been there, plain as day.
So what is going on?
“Robin, are you alright?” Marrisa’s voice cut through his thoughts. She tugged at his sleeve, concern in her
eyes.
Robin blinked and shook his head. “Yeah, Marrisa. Let’s go.”
Flint, who had been quiet, straightened himself. With a polite bow, he spoke, “Mr. Ramsey, I owe you one. Let’s find a better time. I’ll invite your family for coffeer
Robin nodded. “Got it. I won’t forget
“Just make sure the place is cleared when I show up.”
Flint gave a slight grin. “You got it.”
Robin turned his attention to Samson, pointing a finger at him. “He’s your responsibility now, Samson’s face twisted in panic. “Flint, please. Let me go I know I shouldn’t have disrespected Mr. Ramsey.” Flint snorted, his voice thick with disdain. “I’ve been watching you for a long time. You know exactly what

you’ve done.”

His eyes burned into Samson. “I can’t stand betrayal. Not from anyone. Get him out of here!”
“To turn on me, after everything I’ve done for you? Maybe next time, try being a better person!”
Before Samson could beg, two guards stepped forward silencing him and dragging him away.
Robin. Marrisa, and Brenda pushed through the crowd following Marge and Joanna toward the exit.
Flint’s eyes followed them, lost in thought. It looks too much like… it can’t be him.
If it is, this could be Dragon Manor’s greatest gift.
Jack stepped up, clapping a hand on Flint’s shoulder. “Come on, Flint. He’s probably figured it out by now.”
Flint shook his head, a hollow smile pulling at his lips. For a second, I thought it was him. For 20 years… I’ve been waiting for him for 20 years.”
Jack gave him a quick pat, then they both turned and headed down the hall toward the back courtyard.
Meanwhile, Robin and his group had just reached the stairs to the second floor when Catherine sprimed -to catch up.
“Robin, if I’d known you were coming for coffee today, I would’ve joined you,” she said, sliding her arm through his.
She waved at Joanna, Brenda, Marrisa, and Marge.
Robin chuckled and shook his head. “How do you manage to show up everywhere I go?”
Catherine’s smile was rare, but when it came, it was playful, almost mischievous. “Looks like we’re meant to run into each other, huh? I think about you all the time.”
Wendy tried to keep it in, but couldn’t help a small laugh. She hadn’t seen Catherine act this way in years- two decatles, actually.
Kimberly, on the other hand,
was openly amused. “Catherine, I just came up with two words. Wanna guess
what they are?”
Catherine raised an eyebrow, curious. “What words?”
Kimberly grinned, her tone deadpan. “You’re a brat.”
Before anyone could say anything, she started laughing like she’d just cracked the funniest joke.
“Shut up! Catherine shot her a playful glare. “I’m done talking to you guys.
She turned back to Robin, the shift in her mood obvious. “Hey Robin, how about I take you out for dinner tomorrow? Oh, and Marrisa, Brenda, Ms. Leif, Mrs. Lei–let’s all meet up.”
Robin immediately shook his head, no hesitation. “Sorry, I can’t. I’m busy tomorrow afternoon.”
“Busy?” Catherine’s smile faded, just a little. “What’s going on?”

Robin gestured toward Brenda. “Brenda’s got her campus concert tomorrow. Marrisa, the rest of us, we’re going to cheer her on. I wouldn’t miss it.”
Catherine’s eyes lit up. “Brenda’s performing? I’m in! I join your crew.”
She looked at Wendy and Kimberly. “You’re both coming with me, right?”
Wendy nodded, grinning. “Of course. Kimberly, just as rager, added, “We’ll bring all the big names. Directors, media moguls, celebrities–Brenda’s crew’s gonna be packed with them!”
Wendy smirked. “I’ll tell Robin. He knows everyone. I’ll make sure he knows.”
Catherine thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. “Oh, and Wendy, while you’re at it, get some ads and banners made. Let’s get gifts with Brenda’s name on them, too. I’ll invite all the media people in Brighton. We’ll make sure the press is there.”
She grinned at the thought. “Brenda’s support crew has to look like a rock star’s entourage.”
Brenda, now looking a little nervous, quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. You don’t need to do all that. It’s just a little concert, it’s nothing special.”

Marrisa, with a video conference scheduled for the evening, went directly to the Brighton headquarters of her soup restaurant franchise.
Robin, however, made his way to the villa left to him by Old Fred. It was located at No. 1, Mount Fragrance
-Brighton’s most extravagant residence.
The mansion was worth billions
As Robin stepped inside, his phone rang. It was a videocall from Luella.
“Robin,” she greeted, her face lighting up the screen. “How about we grab lunch tomorrow? Then we can head to Brenda’s school for her concert.”
Robin paused, unsure of how to respond. “Luella, you really don’t have to come to Brenda’s concert
“It’s just a small event, really. Nothing fancy. Campus–level stuff.”
He thought for a moment, then added. “Marrisa and the others are just going for fun. Brenda doesn’t want anything too extravagant.”
Luella’s expression shifted to something more serious. Robin, you don’t need to be so cautious. Over the years, I’ve seen how the clite rise. It’s not just about talent. It’s about connections, platforms.”
She leaned in a little, her voice firm. “Don’t you want Brenda’s future to be even better?”
“If we don’t give her the support she needs now, she’ll fall behind. At school, and later in life, she could be pushed around.”
“If she’s constantly held down, she’ll lose confidence. And she’ll miss out on so many opportunities.”
“Opportunities are everything. They shape a person’s future.”
“Why should your sister start from a lower level when there are better platforms and opportunities for her?”
“Ever since I found out about the blood curse, I realized life is short. So, if you can shine, why not shine brightly? Why limit yourself?”
“You and 1, we don’t lack money, connections, or resources. What we lack is a sense of purpose.”
“I know what you’re worried about
“You’re afraid that with money and more support, Brenda might change for the worse.”
“But you’re worrying needlessly.
“I’ve seen many people, poor and struggling, yet they’re cruel and selfish.”
“If those people had money, they’d probably become worse.”

“So, you can’t judge whether someone’s good or bad based on their wealth.”
“Money doesn’t make a person good or bad–it just amplifies what’s already there.”
Robin stayed quiet for a long moment. “Alright, I get it Think what you want. My head is spinning from all this.”
Luella smiled softly. “Darling, I don’t mean anything bad. I just want to express the deepest gratitude from myself and the Aldridge family.”
“I know, someone like you doesn’t need anything
“But Brenda, she doesn’t have your skills. She really needs the platform and the support from our family.”
“We have all these resources–why not help her make her life shine?”
Those who win in all these fields–they’re not doing it alone. They have capital, connections, and support behind them.”
“Does that mean those who don’t win are less capable? Not necessarily! Many great talents are hidden in plain sight.”
These competitions, these stars, these celebrities–they’re not the real deal.”
“This is all a game to them.”
Robin ran a hand through his hair, exasperated. Luella, what’s with all this grand talk tonight? It’s just a school concert. Does it really need to be this… massive?
Luella paused, then took a breath, her voice steady. I’m sorry for not asking you first. The orders are already in motion. The Aldridge family started the highest–level call to action an hour ago.
“As we speak, the biggest names in the world–top models, elite athletes, and the most prestigious film companies, along with the most awarded actors and actresses in recent years–are being rounded up. requested one hundred of them.
“They’re holding global auditions as we speak.

“I’ve also called Leonardo. I told him to bring the best of Aurientia to Brenda’s concert. The finest film companies, the top directors, the most talented writers and stars–they’ll all be there.
“And I’ve arranged custom–made outfits for our group, each one worth 100 grand.
“I’ve also brought in the two top military bands from across the globe.
“And I’ve worked out an agreement with both the Draconia Aviation Bureau and the Foreign Affairs Bureau. There will be enough space around Brighton University for 100 private jets, 100 luxury cars, and room for 10,000 outdoor cheerleaders.
Robin couldn’t keep up with the flood of details. His head was spinning.

“Luella,” he said, rubbing his temples, “you could’ve just shown up to cheer her on. But this? You’re turning Brenda’s school concert into some kind of worldwide event.
“A campus concert? With all of this? The judges are going to be too stunned to even speak.”
Luella took a slow breath, her voice full of sincerity. “Robin, for you, I’d bring every leader in the world if 1
She paused, then continued, her words deliberate. An hour ago, I had the Aldridge family’s board members get in touch with the President of Autreynia’s office, Rashea’s assistant, and the Secretary- General of the United Countries. I’ve invited over a hundred of the world’s most powerful figures to come to Brenda’s concert.”
Robin felt his head spin. “Wait, what? No. You can’t be serious.
“Please, don’t bring those politicians,” he said, his voice rising. “If they show up, it’ll look like a UC summit,
not a concert.”
He rubbed his temples, struggling to process it. “Do you really think this is how a concert is supposed to go?
Luella paused, thinking it over, then nodded, looking almost pleased with herself. “You’re right. I’ll scale it down. Instead, I’ll invite a few big–name business people and some celebrities. That should be fine, don’t you think?”
Robin groaned, running his hands through his hair. “Fine, whatever. I seriously regret telling you about
this.”
“A simple campus concert, and now you’ve invited the biggest directors, stars, and power players from every field. Plus, everyone’s got 100,000 dollars–outfits?
He shook his head again, frustration building. This is going to make some people lose their minds, “Just remember, try to keep it low–key,” he said, his voice tired, as he ended the call.
But even as he hung up, the thought nagged at him. How could it possibly be low–key now?
Five minutes after Luella ended the call, Leonardo rang Robin’s phone. “Mr. Ramsey,” he said quickly, his voice sharp with excitement. “I’ve gotten the details from Luella. Don’t worry, tomorrow will be the biggest event, full of the best of the best!”
He continued, practically buzzing with pride. “We’ve secured top–tier directors, writers, and producers from all over Aurientia. Only the best–people whose names are respected throughout the entire industry. They’re all coming.
“And tomorrow, Leonardo went on, “the Dicker family and Luminous Studio will send a fleet of luxury cars to bring them into Brighton. They’ll be escorting them to Brenda’s concert as her support team.
“Do whatever you want,” he said at last, his voice tired and defeated.
If it’s already this big, might as well let it all blow up.

Just as Leonardo’s call ended, Robin’s phone rang again. He sighed before even checking the caller ID. It was Catherine.
“Robin, I’ve got the support team set for Brenda’s concert tomorrow,” she said, her tone sharp and sure. “I’ve already contacted the Royal Houses in Brighton. All the ones with nothing to do will be there.”
“Wendy’s handling the orders for 5,000 sets of uniforms for the supporters. Each one costs 10,000,”
She paused for a beat. “And every student who votes for Brenda gets a uniform and a bouquet of flowers.”
“Not regular flowers, mind you, but…
Robin barely had the energy to respond. “Let me guess. These flowers, are they the rarest ones in the world, flown in from every corner of the globe?”
Catherine’s voice brightened, like she had just found a secret. “Yes, exactly. How did you know?”
Robin groaned. “What are you all doing? It’s a simple campus concert. You’re turning it into some global event.”

She paused, and when she spoke again, her voice had a distant quality to it, like she was q “Nietzsche said, “We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.”
I’m saving them,” she continued, her voice now filled with purpose. “I’m giving them a reason to feel alive, to do something meaningful.”
“You’re quoting philosophers now?” Robin chuckled, though there was no real amusement in his voice. “Fine, fine. Go ahead and dance tomorrow. Do whatever you want.”
He ended the call, frustrated, and tossed the phone onto the couch.
What was supposed to be a small campus concert for Brenda had ballooned into some kind of international spectacle. It was beyond anything he’d imagined.
And now it was too
late to stop it.
He would let them do whatever they wanted.
He just hoped they didn’t push Marrisa and Brenda away.
As he stood up to head upstairs, the doorbell rang-
Is that Marrisa?
He had thought her meeting was running late, and she’d be staying at the office.
Robin stretched and walked toward the living room. He picked up the video call on the screen in the hall.

“My lord, First you’re still awake?” The voice came through clear and calm.
Robin blinked, still a little groggy
Instead of Marrisa’s face, it was Stephanie’s—her face a polite and respectful as ever.
“Stephanie?” Robin’s voice was low with surprise.
“My lord, I’ve arrived at your villa, along with Jane and Jason
Before he could say anything. Jane shoved Stephanie de, her bright face filling the screen. “I’m here!” Jane grimmed widely, practically bouncing with energy
Robin raised an eyebrow, his confusion clear. “What are you two doing here in Brighton?”
Jane’s grin widened. It’s for Brenda’s concert tomorrow! Grandma said Brenda already told her.”
Robin’s frown deepened. “Brenda told you she was joining a concert?” I’m here! Jane grinned widely, practically bouncing with energy.
Stephanie hurried to explain. “My lord, this isn’t Brenda’s fault”
“A few days ago, I called her to check on her studies. During our chat, she casually mentioned she was going to the school concert. She never asked us to come and support.
Robin’s voice grew sharp. “Then why are you all here today?”
her
Stephanie answered quickly. “My lord, I want to make sure Brenda is safe.”
“Recently, I had some of my guards report on Brenda’s situation. They told me about a girl named Rhea. who’s sharing a dorm with her. It seems like Rhea’s trying to isolate Brenda, form cliques, and make her life harder.
“My guards asked if I wanted them to take care of Rhea, I told them no.”
“Instead, I decided to take a different approach. I want to send a clear message to this girl, make her think twice before she continues.”
“If Rhea doesn’t stop, I’ll bury her six feet under.”
“That’s why the Rogarios brought the best ceremonial guards in the world–to show our support for Brenda at tomorrow’s concert.”
Robin sat back, pinching the bridge of his nose-
Brenda. That poor girl. After tomorrow, she’d probably never want to leave the house again.
Stephanie was skilled at making things sound better than they were.
She said it was all for Brenda, to protect her from the bully, Rhea.
Rhea deserved whatever was coming.
If she refused to change her attitude, she’d be wiped off the face of the world.

Stephanie nodded, her face showing relief. “I understand, my lord. I’ll make sure they keep things in balance.
“Master, let me in!” Jane’s voice cut througli.
Stephanie turned quickly. “Jane, don’t be foolish. The muster needs rest. We should go. We still need to prepare for tomorrow.”
“Alright, alright. I won’t bother you anymore. Goodbye Master!” Both Jane and Stephanie bowed and left the villa.
Robin closed the video call and leaned back, letting out a quiet laugh, almost bitter.
It was a simple school concert, but it had become a chaotic event.
Yeah, this is probably going to be a new world record
Whatever happens, happens.
Hm, I gotta text them, though. They need to delay their arrival by half an hour.
We still have a concert to run, after all.
Brenda walked back into her dorm just after 11 p.m…
The moment she stepped inside, Rhea blocked her way, a smug look twisting her face. “Brenda, if you can’t even pay for your food, maybe you shouldn’t be showing up at these fancy parties, Running out like that- what a joke.”
She crossed her arms and scoffed. “And the worst part is, you pretend like you’re rich. But you can’t even cover a simple meal. If you had the money, why leave like that?”
“You know, I don’t like scum like you at all. You’re broke as sh*t, but you had to act like you’re rich.
“So, how much did you pay the waiter for the lie?”
“There’s no way you have a million in your account.” Rhea chuckled.
The other two girls in the room snickered, enjoying the drama.
Brenda stood there, taking it in. She smiled, shaking her head. “Yeah, you’re right. I am poor. So what?”
She looked directly at Rhea, her eyes full of challenge. “But you know, Robin said that since you’re the one with all the money, maybe you should be paying for this stuff.”
She leaned in slightly, her voice calm. “People like you who can drop cash without a thought, wouldn’t rare about paying for a meal, right?”

Brenda didn’t reply. She just smiled again and moved toward her bed.
Rhea followed, her voice still sharp. ‘So, how’s the concert? Who’s coming to your little cheer squad?”
Brenda was tempted to ignore her, but she answered anyway, a hint of amusement in her voice. “It’s just a concert. Not much to prepare.”
“As for my support team, it’s Robin, my mom Marrisa, Joanna, and Mrs. Leif. They’re the people matter to me, and I’m glad they’ll be there.”

Chapter 738 Rhea, It Must Be Nice to Have Celebrity Sistert
Chapter 738 Rhea, It Must Be Nice to Have a Celebrity Sister!
Rhea’s laughter echoed through the dorm room, fueled by the amusement of the other two girls.
Brenda’s initial instinct was to fire back, but she quickly realized the futility of arguing with such shallow
minds.
It was baffling how someone as refined and intelligent as Ivy could have a sister like Rhea, so superficial
and crass.
Brenda had never given it much thought before, but now the stark contrast between the sisters was glaringly obvious.
Their appearances were completely different, and their personalities even more so.
Besides, Ivy’s family lived abroad.
A nagging doubt began to form in Brenda’s mind…
How could Rhea possibly be Ivy’s sister?
I’d have to ask Robin about this tomorrow.
Does hoy really have a sister in the country?
“Karen, Matilda, I’m telling you, my sister Ivy is coming tomorrow as a guest in my personal cheer squad! I’ll even ask her to take a picture with you two.”
Rhea made sure Brenda heard every word, her voice amplified with intention.
Karen Glover and Matilda Arnold hugged Rhea excitedly. “Rhea, you’re amazing!”
“I’m so jealous of you, having a celebrity sister! From now on, we’re sticking with you!”
…my sister
Rhea laughed. “No problem! We’re roommates, after alll Brenda, do you want a picture with my tomorrow? If you do, you’d better book a spot with me now–otherwise, you’ll be out of luck.”
She paused, glancing at her roommates with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Oh, almost forgot to mention! I put up an ad in the student groups at some nearby schools.
“Anyone who wants a photo with my sister has to cough up 500 dollars.
“But for you guys, seeing as we’re roommates, I’ll give you a discount, only 400 dollars each.”
Karen’s smile vanished, replaced by disbelief. “What? Do we have to pay? I thought it was just a quick picture! 500 dollars?”
Matilda looked stunned too, then gave Karen a light smack. “Do you know who we’re talking about here She’s the top actress in all of Aurientia! You wouldn’t even have the chance to take a photo with her, even if
you wanted to!
“Rhea’s offering it for 400 dollars; that’s a discount!”

Karen hesitated, looking embarrassed. “But I’m almost out of spending money for this month. Where am I supposed to get 400 dollars for a picture?”
Rhea shook her head. “That’s up to you. You can look at the student groups for our school and the nearby ones. I only mentioned the chance to take a photo with my sister Ivy, and there are people offering up to 1.000 dollars, even 2,000 dollars!”
“Just look at my account: I’ve already received over 10,000 dollars in payments.
“In short, whoever offers the most. I’ll give one of the thousand photo spots to them.
I’m telling you gu
I spent 20,000 dollars to order 1,000 custom T–shirts for the cheer squad.
“They’ll be delivered tomorrow morning. Whoever pays more will get a shirt, plus the chance for a photo with my sister.”
Karen and Matilda quickly opened their phones to check the school chat groups.
Sure enough!
Rhea’s post had already become a hot topic among student groups across several schools.
Brenda saw the information too and was shocked..
Watching the students transferring money to Rhea, almost as if it were a bidding war, she started to worry about Ivy.
She knew that Ivy’s agency, Luminous Studio, had very strict rules for their artists.
Exploiting a company or artist’s name for profit without proper authorization can have serious consequences. Artists caught engaging in such activities often face severe penalties from their agencies.
At the least, they’d be fined and might lose a lot of resources.
At worst, it could count as a serious breach of contract, and they might even get sued.
The thought of Rhea’s actions potentially ruining Ivy’s career made Brenda speak up. “Rhea, did you get Ivy’s permission for this?
“If not, I suggest you stop immediately, return the payments, and apologize,
“Otherwise, you could ruin your sister.”
Rhea’s smile vanished, replaced by a sneer. “Brenda, you’re just jealous, plain and simple. Mind your own business!
“My sister’s a huge star; her company practically worships the ground she walks on.
“What’s the big deal about charging for a photo with her? Her agency can’t possibly control her every
move!”
Matilda chimed in. Uh, Rhea, I also heard that entertainment agencies are very strict about how their artists are managed. Everything they do has to protect their public image and the company’s reputation.

“If something like a paid photo op hasn’t been authorized, it could actually hurt your sister.”
Karen looked worried too. “Rhea, maybe you should call your sister and ask if this is okay?”
Rhea felt a pang of doubt.
If that was really the case, maybe I should cancel everything.
But how could I give up an opportunity to make quick money like this?
What’s the big deal? It’s just a few tens of thousands of dollars!
Even if her agency found out, what could they really do?
They wouldn’t cut down a cash cow like Ivy over something like this.
No worries. My sister knows,” Rhea said casually, glancing at Brenda.

“This is just because some people don’t have any famous family members to show off, so they’re jealous
and making things up.”
Brenda shook her head, wanting to remind Rhea again
But seeing how confident she was, maybe Ivy really had discussed it with her agency and given permission.
“Rhea, there’s a delivery for you! Come get it!”
The dorm supervisor called from the door.
Rhea responded enthusiastically and went out.
She soon returned with three meal sets and drinks from Pizzatania.
She handed one each to Karen and Matilda.
“My sister just transferred me 20,000 dollars and told me to buy some good food to share with my roommates. Here you go!”

Karen and Matilda held the pizza boxes with excitement. “Rhea, you’re so lucky to have a celebrity sister! If I had a sister this rich and famous, I’d be over the moon!”
Rhea nodded smugly and said to Brenda, “Oh, sorry, Brenda! I didn’t order one for you since you come over earlier. Next time, I’ll get an extra for you if there’s a chance!”

The two roommates exchanged glances and sneered at Brenda. “Pizzatania’s food is really delicious, Brenda. Do you want a bite? Haha… though, honestly, we’re kind of reluctant to share it, hahaha
Brenda watched them deliberately leaving her out and just shook her head, choosing not to respond.
The three of them continued to eat and make snide remarks, but Brenda ignored them.
After a while, they got bored and stopped talking about it

Later, when everyone was in bed, Rhea quietly slipped out of the dorm and sent Ivy a message.

“Ivy, you told me you were filming near Brighton, right? I’m holding a campus concert tomorrow. Can you come join me as part of my cheer squad?
“I also need 20,000 dollars to buy some promotional T–shirts. Could you transfer it to me?”
Chapter 739 1 Refuse to Accept a Dull Life!
Chapter 739 1 Refuse to Accept a Dull Life!
After much hesitation, Rhea finally hit send.
She waited anxiously, but Ivy remained silent.
Perhaps the amount I’d requested was too high, rating typicions?
In reality, she didn’t need anything close to 20,000 dollars.
Rhea knew 1,000 promotional T–shirts would only set her back around 3,000 dollars.
Besides, she’d already raked in over 10,000 dollars from eager students.
Even her stage outfit, a 1,300–dollars indulgence, wouldn’t be a financial burden.

Rhea had a cunning plan to utilize the online retailer’s no–questions–asked return policy. After the show. the outfit would be heading straight back for a full refund.
If lvy came tomorrow and saw all these T–shirts, she’d surely believe Rhea really had spent 20,000 on these props and gear.
Additionally, the students who wanted photos with Ivy would be sending her more money.
If everything went according to plan, she’d be making a fortune!
Just thinking about it made Rhea tremble with excitement.
She couldn’t wait for Ivy to agree to her request and send the 20,000 dollars.
Even more, she couldn’t wait for Ivy to bring her director and fellow actors to cheer her on.
This was a goldmine!
Hahaha…
Finally, a message from Ivy arrived after several minutes.
Ivy had actually sent the 20,000 dollars!
“Sorry, but our company has strict rules. Artists aren’t allowed to attend any events of a competitive or promotional nature on their own. So, I won’t be able to attend your campus concert this time.
Rhea’s initial joy at receiving the transfer was instantly dashed.
Ivy, I already told my classmates that you’d be coming to support me.
“Could you make an exception just this once and talk to your company about coming as my personal cheer squad?
“Aren’t you filming near Brighton? Or maybe you could talk to your crew and have them all come to Support me. That way, I’ll definitely be the center of attention at the concert.”

Chapter 789 1 Refuse to Accept a Dull Life!
Ivy took a long time to reply, but finally, another message came through
Tim sorry, Rhea, but I can’t agree to that. I’m not valuable enough to the company to ask them for special favors for personal reasons. I’m just an employee here
“If I break the rules, I could get fired.
Td even have to pay a huge penalty–an amount I couldn’t possibly afford. I’d be working my whole life to pay it off, and I could end up in court.
“You may not understand, but as an artist, I’m just a product of the company. Everything I do has to serve their interests.
“If I were to attend your concert without permission, it would damage both the company’s image and my carrer. I can’t agree with this. Just focus on your studies.

This campus concert is just a small event, and it’s not a major competition.
“Even if you get a lot of attention there, it’s only for show and doesn’t mean much for your future. That’s all I have to say. Good luck with yourance at the concert,
“I have an event organized by Luminous Studio tomorrow in Brighton. If I get a chance, I could meet with you privately.”
Reading Ivy’s message, Rhea broke into a cold sweat.
She’d already posted the ad and received over 10,000 dollars in payments, with the total still climbing.
Given Ivy’s popularity, especially among young people, the demand was incredible.
Ivy was an international superstar, a true icon for young people everywhere.
Her influence was powerful among young female students, who idolized her as the ultimate symbol of youth and success.
Watching the payments keep rolling in, Rhea felt a wild thrill.
The total was already nearing 50,000 dollars!
Ivy’s absence would be disastrous.
Refunds would be demanded, and the situation could spiral out of control quickly
If she couldn’t control the situation, it could turn into a disaster.
For a moment, she considered following Brenda’s advice and returning the money immediately.
People might complain, but at least it wouldn’t lead to serious consequences.
But seeing that steady stream of payments going into her account, Rhea couldn’t resist.
How could I just give all that money back?
Forget it!

If anyone asked why Ivy didn’t show, she’d say that Ivy had a last–minute commitment for an important show.
Then she’d string them along, promising they’d get their autographed photos with her eventually.
That would solve everything!
Even if this caused trouble for hy, what did that have to do with me?
People would just blame Ivy for being unreliable, but they wouldn’t blame me!
If Ivy ended up fined or punished by her company, that was her own problem, not mine.
It was her fault for not going to support me!
Hahaha!
What a perfect solution!
With that thought, Rhea decided not to deal with the situation at all, letting the payments keep rolling in.
The next morning, Rhea woke up to find that her account balance had reached 130,000 dollars.
She was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
This was the first time in her life she’d seen so much money!
Rhea was practically buzzing with joy, pacing back and forth in the dorm like a fly trapped in a bottle.
She felt like a shaken bottle of soda, about to explode with fizzy energy.
Finally, after 20 minutes of running around like a madwoman, she managed to calm down a little.
“Aahhh!” Rhea’s excitement was palpable.
She practically vibrated with it, her clenched fists and flushed face making her resemble a coiled spring about to release.
The sudden display startled everyone in the dorm.
Karen was so shocked she almost rolled out of bed, saved only by the bed rail.
She squinted at Rhea’s flushed face and asked, “Rhea, are you alright?”
Rhea suddenly hugged Karen and gave her a quick kiss. “Sweetie, today is a big day!”
Karen was taken aback. “What’s going on, Rhea?”
“I’ll tell you–I’ll let you take a free picture with my sister today!

But you and Matilda have to help me hand out the promotional T–shirts in front of the school gate and spread the word.
“A bunch of students from other schools are coming at am! They’re all here to meet my sister!”
By now, Rhea had completely pushed aside the fact that Ivy wasn’t coming.
All that mattered was pulling off the event today.
As long as she could get all that money into her own pocket, that was the real victory.
1 cares about the consequences?
Seize the moment! Tomorrow can take care of itself!
Let the future be dmned–she’d enjoy the high life now!
I refuse to accept a dull life!
Quickly. Rhea called Matilda and Karen and got them all moving.
They put on the promotional T–shirts that had arrived from the supplier and headed to the front gates of The campus
They set up banners and created a “Rhea’s Personal Cheer Squad Registration” table.
Before long, a crowd of classmates gathered to cheer her on.
Judging by the crowd, there were over a thousand people.
Rhea stood to the side, imagining herself as a queen, gazed upon by everyone at the concert later.
That was the life she wanted!
Just then, she caught sight of Brenda, alone, carrying her books toward the library, and sneered.
“A poor nobody like you thinks she can compete with me at the concert? You’re only embarrassing yourself!

Karen was quick to notice Rhea’s disdainful expression
Clueless about its meaning, she instantly sprang to her feet and began to flatter her.
She followed Rhea’s gaze..
Brenda’s slender figure hurried towards the library, bathed in the golden morning light.
“Hah! Look at her, acting all busy and important,” Karen sneered. “She just doesn’t want to spend money on school activities.
“With those same few outfits she wears day in and day out? Please. She couldn’t hold a candle to you, Rhea, Matilda
imed in with a giggle.
Seizing a moment of privacy, Matilda leaned closer and whispered, “I heard Brenda might not even be from here. Apparently, she’s an exchange student from the Demberoa.”
Rhea scoffed. “Demberoa? If that were true, would she be stuck in this dorm with us?”
“Exactly! Sharing a cramped room like the rest of us?” Karen added.
“If she were really an exchange student from the Philippines, she wouldn’t be living in a cramped dorm room and eating in the crowded cafeteria like the rest of us!”
“Matilda, you’re so gullible.
“That whole exchange student story is just a lie Brenda cooked up. And you actually believed it?”
Sensing Rhea’s annoyance, Karen quickly intervened.
“Enough, Matilda. Stop spreading rumors. Brenda’s just a poor girl from the mountains, nothing more.
“She couldn’t possibly compare to real exchange students with actual credentials.”
Karen gestured toward the registration area, bustling with students from various schools and departments eager to sign up for Rhea’s event. “Rhea, with this kind of turnout, you’re practically guaranteed to be the queen of the concert!
“Don’t forget about my signed photo with Ivy!”
Rhea, conveniently forgetting Ivy’s warnings, puffed up her chest with confidence. “No problem!
“As long as you help me out today, I’ll get you that photo and treat you to a feast after the concert!”
Karen and Matilda high–fived excitedly, and their enthusiasm reignited as they dove back into promoti
Rhea’s event.
Meanwhile, Rhea watched with glee as her account balance steadily climbed.
That morning, she’d posted another update.

Chapter 740 Rhea, the Ultimate Top–Tier “Rich and Beautiful” Sociali….
She announced a new rule.

Due to the overwhelming demand for photos with Ivy, neither Ivy’s team nor the renowned figures from Luminous Studio could accommodate individual requests.
Therefore, everyone who wanted a photo with Ivy had to compete for a spot based on how much they paid.
The top 300 donors would be allowed to attend the event and take a photo with Ivy.
Under this system, only those who contributed the most would make it to the front of the line.
At the moment, 1,000 dollars was the minimum pledge, with many students offering 1,500 or even 2,000 dollars.
Some had dropped out, but the highest offers were now up to 3,000 dollars.
On average, each person was paying nearly 1,500 dollars.
And the trend was only going up.
Most of the students willing to pay for a photo with Ivy weren’t from wealthy families.
For many of them, scraping together that much money was a real challenge.
Watching the crowd of girls arriving to register, Karen sighed.
“Rhea, so many people have come to support you! Looks like there are even a few who aren’t students. “They’re all here as part of your fan squad. This kind of turnout is unprecedented at our university!” Rhea laughed. “Karen, you’re really something! Who knew you had such keen insight?”
Karen laughed heartily, “Don’t forget, I’m the student council’s publicity officer–I’m in charge of promotions!”
As more and more girls showed up to register, Rhea finally felt relieved.
Initially, she’d worried that people might ask for refunds if they couldn’t get the promised photo with Ivy.
To appease those who might miss out on a photo op, Rhea had a backup plan.
She promised anyone who paid but couldn’t get a picture with Ivy and the Luminous Studio stars an autographed photo of Ivy and a free album.
With that promise, the payments started flooding into Rhea’s account like a snowstorm.
By 9:30 a.m., Rhea’s account balance had already reached nearly 800,000 dollars,
Seeing that number, Rhea was almost delirious with excitement.
This was her first real windfall!
In her entire life, she’d never seen this much money!

Chapter 740 Rhea, the Ultimate Top–Tier “Rich and Beautiful” Sociali…
At that moment, she felt an overwhelming urge to shout.
With this kind of money, she could live so much better
Even if Ivy stopped sending her money, she’d still be able to live a life of luxury.
If I could make it to one million, two million, even three million dollars…
Hahaha… I’d be able to buy a car, buy a house, get the best makeup, and wear the finest clothes!
Then, once I polished up my image, I could attract some wealthy benefactor.
That would be the ultimate way to elevate my Life!
Hahaha!
Rhea’s laughter erupted suddenly, her mind still lost in her fantastical daydreams.

The unexpected outburst startled Karen, causing her to stumble backward and land on the floor with a
thud..
“Rhea, what’s with the creepy laughter? You scared me! Karen sat on the ground, looking bewildered
Rhea patted her on the shoulder and said, “I’ll buy you guys a couple of ice creams later to calm your
nerves!
“Now get back to work and keep promoting me! I’m going to be the star of the whole Brighton today!
“There’ll be plenty of media covering the concert.
“If I go viral, you two will be my entourage! I’ll take you along for the ride–we’ll live it up together!”
Karen and Matilda looked at Rhea with admiration.
Who would’ve thought that a simple campus concert could be hyped up like this?
Each student approached with a look of fervent admiration, and Karen and Matilda found themselves swept up in the wave of excitement.
It was as though Rhea were a celebrity, radiating star power.
And they, her assistants, were caught in the orbit of her fame.
With growing enthusiasm, they began telling anyone who’d listen about Rhea’s beautiful singing voice, her amazing personality, and her wealthy background.
They even started embellishing, spinning stories about how Rhea’s parents were prominent people.
Rhea was portrayed as a pampered rich girl.
And her grandfather? A tycoon, of course,
Thanks to Karen and Matilda’s enthusiastic promotion, Rhea’s image as a “rich, beautiful, second- generation socialite started to take shape.
