It was just before 8:00 am when Wilder, Caden, and their group arrived at the entrance of Sharpe Group’s reception hall.
Wilder wouldn’t have come so early if it weren’t for Robin’s promise to be on time today.
As the head of Draconia Holistic Medicine, Wilder wouldn’t have minded showing up a bit later if he were just responding to the invitation from Janelle and Raiden.
But out of respect for Robin, he made sure to arrive promptly.
way,
On the he couldn’t stop thinking about Lara’s injury. He had only mentioned it briefly to Robin the day before, unsure of what kind of response he would get.
If Robin had declined, Wilder would have asked about treatment over the phone. To his surprise, Robin agreed to come personally.
That was a huge surprise for Wilder. It made him wonder if Robin had connections to the Sontags.
Caden, who had never met Robin, had heard a lot about him from Wilder. When he found out Robin would be arriving. Caden stayed up all night imagining how he might greet the legendary doctor.
He hoped Robin would remember him after they met.
As Wilder and his group stood at the entrance of the Sharpe Group hall, Janelle and Raiden quickly emerged from the back to greet them.
They respectfully invited the group into the most luxurious VIP lounge.
Despite being the niece of Lord Pittman, Janelle showed deep respect to Wilder, knowing he was known figure in the field of holistic medicine.
Janelle knew better than to disrespect Wilder, a national figure capable of saving lives.
П well-
“Mr. Lennon, it’s such an honor to have you here. The Sharpes are truly privileged,” Raiden said as they entered the VIP room, handing Wilder a bank card. “This 100 million is a token of our respect.”
Wilder waved it off. “Mr. Sharpe, I didn’t come here because of your granddaughter, but for my master. I can’t accept this, and neither would my master. As for how your family expresses gratitude, that’s up to
you.
Raiden frowned thoughtfully. “May I ask how old your master is?”
Wilder smiled slightly. “He’s 21, around the same age as your granddaughter.”
Everyone in the room was stunned to hear the person Wilder called ‘master‘ was only 21.
“Mr. Lennon, you… you must be joking. Raiden said with a smile.
Wilder’s expression turned serious. I never joke about my master’s age.”
Raiden quickly sobered up. “Please forgive my ignorance. I didn’t realize your master was such an

extraordinary person, especially at such a young age. I really hard to believe!”
Wilder softened his tone. “In holistic medicine, age don’t define a person’s achievements–talent and skill do. Even if I had two lifetimes, I could never match even a fraction of his abilities.
“He’s the kind of doctor who can pull people back from the edge of death. Do you think he’s just an ordinary person? He’s a god!”
Raiden and Janelle nodded. “Mr. Lennon, we understand. Anyone you consider a master must truly be exceptional.”
“Mr. Lennon, the Sharpes have some rare and valuable enedicinal herbs that your master might be interested in. Please feel free to take them if he wishes
Wilder nodded and replied, “We can discuss that after my master arrives.”
Janelle glanced at the clock. It was already 8:00 am.
She tentatively asked, “Mr. Lennon, may I ask when your master will be arriving? Or, if it’s easier, would you like us to go pick him up?
“If he can treat Lara’s injury before 9:00 a.m., that would be ideal.”
Wilder thought for a moment before replying. “You’re night. If she keeps hiding her face and wearing sunglasses at such a big event, people will start to suspect something
“Okay, I’ll message my master and ask. But I can’t promise what the answer will be.”
Janelle thanked him, “If your master agrees to treat Lara, that’s already a huge blessing.
“The Sharpes and the Sontags will never forget your kindness. If you ever need anything, just let us know. We’ll be there for you.”
Wilder understood the depth of Janelle’s gratitude. Such a favor couldn’t be paid back with money alone.
“Alright, please wait here for a moment,” he said, quickly typing out a message..
“Master, where are you right now? If it’s convenient, can I come pick you up?”
At that moment, Robin was still at the place where Lorelai was resting-
It was exactly 8:00 am, and he had instructed two guards to keep a close eye on her. If she woke up, they were to take her directly to the Sharpe Group. He wanted her to see the downfall of the people who had killed Willow.
Just as he got in the car, he received Wilder’s message.
Robin didn’t respond right away but drove toward the Sharpe Group instead. Several trucks were following behind him, loaded with five freshly made red lacquer coffins and ten large floral wreaths.
Ten minutes later, Robin and his team arrived at the Sharpe Group’s entrance. He sent Wilder a quick reply. “I’m here.”
Wilder was surprised. He hadn’t expected Robin to arrive ahead of schedule.

Raiden smiled with relief. “Mr. Lennon, thank you so much. If your master can treat Lara in time, she won’t have to hide behind a mask and glasses during the event.
Janelle stood up and said, “Joe, Lara, let’s go with Mr. Inon to greet his master.”
Lara quickly approached Janelle. “Thank you, Aunt Janelle. If it weren’t for your help, I would have been a joke today.”
Raiden, Janelle, and the others followed Wilder to the reception hall. But when they entered, the scene nearly made Raiden lose his temper.
In the hall were five coffins and ten large wreaths, and group of people were gossiping in low voices. They all stared at Robin and Ferell, who were walking in from outside, whispering about who they were. It was already a bold move to bring coffins and wreaths to an event where the Sharpes were transferring their operating rights, a clear challenge to both the Sharpes and the Sontags.

“Who dares to cause trouble at the Sharpes‘ grand even?!” Raiden snorted coldly, ready to summon his bodyguards.
However, Wilder’s shout of “Master!” immediately stopped him. “Mr. Lennon, is that young man the miracle doctor you mentioned?”
At this moment. Wilder had completely forgotten about treating Lara’s injuries. He was too excited and immediately nodded, ready to rush forward.
“Mr. Lennon, is that young man really your master?” Janelle asked, blocking his path.
Wilder’s master had brought five coffins and ten wreath to the Sharpe Group’s power handover ceremony. What exactly was going on here?
It seemed complicated!
People at Janelle’s level always had to clarify all the relationships before making any decisions.
“Yes, that’s my esteemed master!” Wilder replied casually.
“But Mr. Lennon, what does this mean?” Janelle furrowed her brow, her face showing displeasure.
Even for meone as respected as Wilder, it was hard to accept that his master had brought coffins and wreaths to the event.
Wilder then noticed the complex expressions on Janelle and Raiden’s faces.
Looking at the five coffins and ten wreaths in the hall, he froze briefly, then quickly explained, “Mrs. Sontag, my master’s medical methods are not something ordinary people can easily understand.
“These five coffins and ten wreaths are probably tools my master prepared for Ms. Sharpe’s facial treatment.”
“Treating injuries with coffins and wreaths?” Raiden and Janelle were both puzzled.
However, since these words came from Wilder, the revered Master of Holistic Medicine, they had no choice but to believe.
Caden quickly said, “Mrs. Sontag, Mr. Sharpe, I’ve read in many legendary medical books that practitioners like my grandmaster-immortal–level doctors–use all kinds of strange methods.
“Sometimes, they even use bones dug up from graves or wolf hearts and dog lungs as part of the
treatment.”
“Such things really happen?” Raiden and Janelle, who had initially looked angry, began to relax a bit
Wilder, meanwhile, didn’t care to continue chatting with Janelle and Raiden. He quickly walked over to Robin and bowed in respect.
“Master, you must be tired!” Wilder looked at the coffins and wreaths in the hall and asked, “Are these for Ms. Sharpe’s treatment?”

Janelle had not heard of this matter before
Curious, she leaned closer to Kaiden, her eyes feed on the content being spread in the video. The moment she saw it, her face immediately turned cold.

fake information at the critical moment of the Sharpes business handover! This is clearly an attack on us!”
Everyone in the hall didn’t understand what had made Raiden so furious, but when they saw the video on their phones, they were horrified!
In less than five minutes, the video had gained hundreds of thousands of comments across the internet.
Raiden continued to shout, “That bastard is just a no–namne street thug. Who cares if he dies? What’s the big deal
If Sterling hadn’t posted the video of the blood extraction process, and if the other parties hadn’t confirmed it, the Sharpes, with their power and wealth could have easily covered up the matter, claiming it was slander and defamation.
They could have even hired some online trolls to help downplay the issue.
But now, with everything in the open, Raiden was ready to personally go after Sterling.
“How dare a street punk try to make a name for himself by dragging the Sharpes into this? Has he lost his mind?” Raiden staggered a few steps in his fury, nearly falling.
The Sharpes had always been known for their charity work, and they were about to form a marriage alliance with the Sontags.
If they didn’t suppress this malicious rumor, their family’s reputation would be severely harmed, and they could also lose the Sontags as an ally.
It could even incite public anger, spiraling into a situation they couldn’t control.
In that case, even if the Sharpes had the money to manage it, the higher officials wouldn’t dare openly protect them.
The Sharpes, especially Lara, would fall into an irreversible disaster.
Though Janelle was furious, if they didn’t act quickly, the Sontags would also suffer.
“How can something like this happen today? Handle it quickly!” she angrily turned to Raiden.
Nearby, Magnus Sutton, the vice president of the Brighton Cyber Supervision Association, read the situation clearly and quickly stepped forward with a smile. “This information online must be slander! Mr. Sharpe, Mrs. Sontag. I’ll have people investigate it immediately!”
Raiden bellowed, “Mr. Sutton, please investigate thoroughly and restore the reputation of my granddaughter and the Sharpes!”
Magnus glanced at the impassive Janelle, patting his chest, “Mr. Sharpe, it’s our association’s duty, I’ll have them delete this video and find the person behind this rumor immediately!”

The moment Lara recognized Robin, her eyes never left him.
Yesterday, Robin had beaten her up because of Willow’s death.
How could she let this grudge go unresolved?

And today, before the grand event even started, the bastard showed up openly with coffins and wreaths at the meeting!
The blood–drawing video involving Willow must have been his doing!
She tugged at Joe’s sleeve and gritted her teeth. “Joe, that video… it must have been that bastard’s doing.”
In the silent guest hall, Lara’s voice, though not loud, was full of venom, and the hatred in her tone made it all the more jarring.
Everyone in the hall–Raiden, Janelle, and all the guests–turned their attention to Robin.
Joe, with an icy glare, pointed at Robin. “Mr. Sutton, isn’t your association currently running a cyber crime. cleanup operation?”
Magnus, flattered, quickly bowed. “Yes, Mr. Sontag!”
“Recently, our association has been focusing on cleaning up malicious rumors, defamation, and other vile behaviors on the internet.”
“And they have joined forces with the Cyber Supervision Department under the Northlorn Residence Police Headquarters to thoroughly investigate the defamers. In serious cases, they will proceed with legal processes and hold the rumor mongers legally accountable.”
Joe pointed again at Robin. Then use your power to investigate and see if he’s the one behind the rumors and slander.”
“If we confirm he’s the one causing trouble, just this alone is enough to bring him to justice!”
Janelle, pleased, nodded at her son.
It was impressive how Joe handled this emergency with her–he was still following the law and dealing with the opposition through legal channels.
In their circle, there was a principle they always followed.
If you could solve the problem using power and law, then you avoid using thug tactics.
If power and law can’t handle it, then you bring in the thugs.
Magnus could see through Janelle’s thoughts.
He was trying his best to impress Janelle, the niece of Lord Pittman.
If he could win her favor now, his career would skyrocket.

So, he took a step forward and said, “Ms. Sharpe, Mr. Sontag, I’ll contact the inspection department right now and ensure the rumor mongers are caught.
“I’ll also order to delete all platforms that’ve published this video.”
“Brighton Cyber Association will officially confirm if this video is a malicious slander aimed at the Sharpes, tarnishing Ms. Sharpe’s reputation.”
Joe looked coldly at Robin, sneering. “Then get to it, Mr Sutton. Handle it quickly!”
“Hahaha, Mr. Sontag, Ms. Sharpe, don’t worry.” Magnus grinned confidently and raised his head, walking toward Robin like a peacock.
“With my influence in the internet industry, tracking down the source of this video is just a phone call
away.
“Getting this malicious rumor deleted is a piece of cake
“In five minutes, I’ll uncover the truth and restore the Sharpes and Ms. Sharpe’s reputation.”
“In the Brighton network scene, and even across the whole of Draconia, Magnus’s name carries weight”
Twill personally vouch for Ms. Sharpe, on behalf of myself, Brighton Cyber Association, and the Inspection Committee, that this is a false, defamatory video!”
Magnus was certain that Robin was the one behind the video.
Turning to Robin, he smirked. ‘Some people just think they can stir up trouble with a random leak, thinking they can get away with it. They don’t realize that you’ve picked the wrong day to mess with!”
“If I don’t bring this liar to justice, I’ll stop being Magnus!”
“As the vice president of the Cyber Association, I warn all those hiding behind screens, spreading rumors, and slandering people–this will not be tolerated! We’ll use the full force of the law to eradicate this social poison!”
Magnus was the vice president of Brighton Cyber Association. Though not exactly a heavyweight figure, he held significant power, overseeing the regulation of online platforms, which gave him a certain level of influence.
Going after a few background–less troublemakers was well within his reach.
In an instant, Magnus found his moment to shine in front of the aristocratic crowd.
He squinted at Robin.
Even the so–called master and miracle doctor that Wilder spoke of might just be a fraud, someone who uses a prestigious title to deceive and exploit people.
At this moment, Magnus, the vice president of the Cyber Association, who had been waiting for an opportunity to show himself, suddenly found his place among these high–profile figures,
In all his years, he had never been this excited.

He was sure he could prove his worth with just one phone call.
Lara, secing Magnus so confident, shot Robin a defiant ok.
A surge of anger threatened to explode from her.
She pointed at Robin, grinding her teeth. “You hit me? Just wait until you feel the full wrath of the Sharpest If I don’t destroy you beyond redemption. I’m no longer Lara Sharpe!”
“Mr. Sutton, I hope you’ll take up the sword of justice and send this troublemaker to the guillotine!!
Magnus nodded, then turned to Robin. “Tell me, how dil you force Sterling from the Faulkner Clinic inte making a false report?”
“If you tell me now, maybe I’ll go easy on you.”
Wilder, wanting to step in and deal with this clown, was stopped by Robin’s raised hand
“Oh, so you’re Magnus, the Vice President of the Cyber Association?” Robin flicked his sleeve. “You think you have power?”
Magnus, pointing at Robin in an overbearing manner, sneered. “That’s right, I’m Magnus! The people gave me this power! If I want to investigate you, I can, and if I want to deal with you, I will!”
“You little punk, if you did this, you better clear the facts online, or you can expect to be locked up!” Robin laughed coldly. “Seems like when power falls into the hands of thugs, it’s a disaster.”
“You want to bring me to justice? Fine, call your higher–ups and ask them if you even have the authority to delete this video!”
“Fine, you’ll see!” Feeling his dignity insulted, Magnus took out his phone and dialed the Northlor Residence Police Cyber Department.
The moment he mentioned the video, the other end of the line immediately barked, “Magnus, how dare you question the release of this video? Are you asking to die?”
“I’ll tell you, this video was posted by Mr. Chandler from the Northlorn Residence, and the Dragon Palace PR Department arranged for it to be broadcast across the entire web!”
“If you want to delete the video and investigate the mastermind behind it, you better go find somewhere to die and stop dragging people into it!”
“Drop everything and head to the Police Cyber Department now. You’ll confess all the bad things you’ve done over the years!”
“You want to support that animal from the Sharpes? If I don’t lock you up for the rest of your life, I’m not a police officer!”
Chapter 774 A Reckoning of Power
Chapter 774 A Reckoning of Power
Magnus still hadn’t figured out how to explain things when the head of the Police Cyber Department suddenly hung up on him.
A chilling, bone–deep fear washed over him, making his whole body tremble, sweat soaking his skin.
The video was actually put out by none other than Elliot, the eldest son of the Northlorn Residence!
And worse, it was being looped by the Dragon Palace’s publicity department
This was clearly an all–out attack on the Sharpes!
Only then did Magnus seriously consider the young man in front of him, who had been so calm the whole time. He nearly collapsed, his legs giving way under hin.
A cold, oppressive dread spread through his spine in a flash.
His hand, still holding his phone, froze mid–air, unsure where to put it.
The man standing before him wasn’t just challenging the Sharpes–Elliott, the eldest son of the Northlorn Residence, and Dragon Palace were backing him!
What kind of power was it that could command this much respect? Who was powerful enough to have such influence?
Magnus was just a vice president at the Brighton Cyber Association. Even if he had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare go head–to–head with the Dragon Palace or the Northlorn Residence–those who controlled the national machinery.
Looking back at how arrogantly he had behaved in front of Robin, Magnus’s head felt like it was about to explode.
He stared at Robin, his body shaking, his legs giving out in terror.
His eyes darted nervously to the waiting Sontags, Lara, and the other wealthy elites in the hall.
At that moment, Magnus was caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling the weight of his mistakes pressing down on him.
What kind of enemy had the Sharpes made?
Even though he had the support of the Northlorn Residences, more than ten of them would be needed to stand up against the Dragon Palace if it came down to it
Why the hell had he gotten involved in this? Magnus cursed himself silently. Now, he was in deep trouble for standing up for them.
The video was being spread by the Northlorn Residence–it was a sign that the state machinery might soon be used to wipe out the Sharpes!
He had never seen such a large–scale operation from Dragon Palace in all his years. Having them oversee the video’s broadcast clearly meant things were about to get serious.

Magnus, a vice president at the Brighton Cyber Association, had no business Manding up for the Sharpen especially when the Northlon Residence and Dragon Palace were already gunning for them.
What a massive mistake! What a fool!
That’s like trying to break a rock with an egg or take down a tree as an ant–going up against a killing machine is something you’d only do if you got knocked in the head!
The crowd, watching the drama unfold, began to grow suspicious.
Everyone watching Magnus handle this video from afar felt uneasy as they noticed his shoulders trembling.
“What the heck is he up
“It’s just a phone call–why does he look like a complete wreck after that?”
“Did he down a whole bottle of wine this morning?”
“Or maybe he’s just nuts.”
“He’s done with the call, so he should be putting people in their place! What’s he standing there shaking for
“Looks like something’s off.”
“He seems seriously freaked out by that young guy who sent the coffin!”
“What’s going on?”
Raiden and Janelle had also noticed Magnus’s fear.
With her high–society experience, Janelle instantly sensed something unusual.
It seemed like Magnus had come up against a rival he couldn’t overcome.
Could it be that Wilder’s connections were stepping in for Robin?
Not that any of this fazed her.

Unless someone at the top of Draconia or the Dragon lace intervened, this wasn’t an issue she couldn’t handle.
Besides, only a handful of Draconia people could pull powerful strings. If they were involved, it wouldn’t just be some low–key spectacle.
While Janelle calculated her options, Robin broke the lence in the hall. “Mr. Sutton?”
Magnus’s face lit up in startled delight!
Instantly, he pu
he put on a sycophantic smile, hurried over, and bowed deeply. I was just joking earlier.
“A joke? You mean to say something like this is just a joke?” Robin took a wet wipe from Ferell and cleaned his hands
“Weren’t you just insisting that you’d personally prove this video was malicious slander?”
“Tell everyone–is this video malicious slander or real?
Magnus looked at Robin’s harmless–looking smile, trembling. “I haven’t verified if the incident is true or not. I don’t know.”
Robin wiped the wet cloth across Magnus’s face a few times. “Before you announced you’d handle‘ me just now, did you bother to verify any of this?”
“N–no, I didn’t. Magnus’s whole body shook.
Robin’s smile turned cold. “Then why were you so confident declaring the video slander?”
“I..Magnus broke out in a sweat.
Slap! Robin swung his hand, and Magnus’s cheek burst red.
“Trash!” Robin wiped his hand and walked toward Magnus, who had been thrown several meters away. “You get a tiny bit of power and turn into a complete lowlife!”
“If you were given more authority, what other scummy things would you pull?”
“Other than kissing up to the powerful and bullying the weak, can you do anything remotely decent?”
Magnus fell to the floor, clutching his bleeding check and pleading desperately. “I was just talking
nonsense.”
“Get up!” Robin motioned with a finger. “Now, bring me the other side of that face.”
Magnus scrambled up, rolling over himself, and offered the other cheek right before Robin.
“Weren’t ‘you just talking about investigating me and bringing me to justice? Well, go ahead and investigate now!” Robin wiped the wet cloth on Magnus’s other cheek with disgust.

Magnus trembled and begged, “I was wrong, please forgive me.”
“Forgive?” Robin tossed the cloth aside. “Forgiveness is word I don’t recognize.”
With a sharp crack, Robin slapped Magnus on the othe cheek..
Magnus rolled over and over, finally slamming into the blood–red painted coffin.
“Aght” Magnus practically lost his soul in terror.
Once he gathered his wits, he crawled frantically toward Robin, knocking his head against the ground with
loud thuds.
“What on earth is wrong with this guy?”
Everyone’s shocked stares were fixed on him, totally bewildered.
Even those suffering from the most extreme case of psychosis wouldn’t act like this!
“What’s really going on here?”
All eyes turned to Robin, each person wondering just who this young man was to send Magnus into a complete meltdown.
Chapter 775 The Arbiter’s Wrath
Chapter 775 The Arbiter’s Wrath
“I failed to recognize greatness; I talked out of turn, spouted nonsense, and acted like a thug. Please tell Mr. Elliott that I’ll never do it again.”
In the hall, the only sound was Magnus’s desperate, continuous kowtowing, accompanied by his pitiful confessions and pleas.
The wealthy elites watching were all amused, their eyes full of scorn.
He hadn’t gotten his opponent with a phone call–instead, he’d taken himself down.
“This guy is really something!”
Robin took a second wet wipe from Ferell, wiped the blood off his hands, and tossed the cloth onto Magnus’s face.
“If you dare stand up for someone, you’d better be ready to face the consequences! Now, get out of here- roll if you have to–or I’ll deal with you right now!”
Magnus froze, realizing that Ferell would take him out if he didn’t leave now.
This guy was bold enough to take on the Sharpes and the Sontags–killing him would be as easy as snapping a finger.
Magnus quickly took the hint, lined himself up with the door to the reception hall, and rolled his round body straight out of the Sharpe Group building.
The guests were stunned.
That ridiculous stunt was way too sudden.
It was a classic setup and reversal–one moment, he was all puffed up, bragging about how he’d handle anyone talking trash.
And now? Begging, managing to ruin himself in the process.
This Vice President of Brighton Cyber Supervision Association‘ must have some serious split personality issues!
Even so, everyone slowly realized this wasn’t some idle threat.
Anyone brave enough to show up with a coffin, wreaths, and a video broadcast across the internet to provoke the Sharpes wasn’t someone to mess with.
After a brief silence, a voice finally broke through in the reception hall.
A middle–aged man standing beside Janelle, with an air of superiority and authority, stepped out from the
crowd.
This man was the leader of the Brighton Business Alliance, known by Gordon Ithell.
In response to the intrigued looks from the other elites, Gordon strode up to Robin, full of self-

assuredness. “Young man, whatever misunderstanding you have with Ms. Sharpe can surely be discussed later, don’t you think?”
“Today’s event has drawn nearly all the high–society families of the capital, and we’re all just here for a good time.”
“A gentleman always shows grace and appreciates the joy of others,
“This is meant to be a celebratory occasion. Sending collins and wreaths, and even raising a hand against people–don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
“Do you even realize where you are? Do you know that not a single person here is someone you can afford to provoke?”
“You think that intimidating a low–level nobody like Magnus gives you the right to act however you want?”
Magnus rolling himself out of the Sharpe Group building had made most guests wary of Robin.
However, Janelle secretly orchestrated this grand gathering of high–society families behind the scenes.
The people attending were hardly ordinary individuals
Magnus’s humiliating exit didn’t mean Robin’s presence would intimidate everyone in the hall.
In fact, after a brief moment of silence, many of the guests, stirred by a sense of competition, began to prepare themselves to join forces against this unknown young man.
Some quietly asked about Robin’s background.
Aside from a few who knew that Robin was referred to as ‘Master by Wilder, no one could gather much more information.
When they carefully examined Robin’s youthful face, most dismissed that information as a mistake. How could Wilder, Master of Holistic Medicine in Draconia, possibly call this kid ‘Master‘?
Clearly, the rumors were wrong!
After a brief moment of uncertainty, Gordon, the leader of the Brighton Business Alliance, spoke up, instantly shifting everyone’s attention and turning their collective focus onto Robin.
Though his words weren’t too harsh, every line had an unmistakable tone of condescension, reprimand, and disdain.
He intended to scold Robin for his arrogance with a sense of finality. If Robin didn’t know his place, he could be erased.
In an instant, the high–class guests in the reception hall turned their mocking gazes back on Robin, who stood unfazed.
They were all eager to see how this young man, who had openly provoked the Sharpes, would respond to the reprimand from the leader of the Brighton Business Alliance.
The Ithells, the head of the Brighton Business Alliance, were already one of the top–tier noble families.

Gordon stepped closer, adopting the posture of a mentor addressing a younger generation. Let me give you some advice–there’s no need to meddle in other people’s business. Those who go around acting righteous are just ignorant, poor fools.”
Not far away, Wilder was about to step forward and say something
But since Robin didn’t respond, he had no choice but to stand there, watching as the leader of the Brighton Business Alliance dug his own grave.
Robin snapped his fingers, meeting Gordon’s eyes, which now held a hint of threat. “Excelent. You know your name suits you perfectly.”
Gordon’s expression darkened. “You little punk, don’t push your luck!
“I’m only warning you because you’re young and ignorant!” Gordon sneered.
“This world sees death every second. A rootless, poor kid, drained of all his blood and left to die–so what?
“You think the authorities will care about this? You’re too naive! You don’t understand the true nature of this world.”
The law in this world is all about controlling the powerless, the poor!
“For those of us in the scholarly elite, it means nothing!
“You really think that whole ‘equality before the law‘ nonsense they teach you in books is true? Bullshit!”

Robin’s actions immediately drew gasps from the crowd in the reception hall.
“What’s he doing?”
“Does he plan to kill the president of the Brighton Business Alliance?”
“Unbelievable!”
“There’s no way he’d dare openly commit murder here!
After a brief moment of dizziness, Gordon Ithell stomped his thick legs in fury, roaring. “How dare you treat me like this?”
“If you lay a finger on me, the law will punish you!”
“D“mn! Now you want to talk about the law?” Robin smirked, his eyes gleaming with mockery as he stared at Gordon’s terrified face.
“Didn’t you just say that the law only governs the poor and is meaningless to the wealthy and powerful?”
“I have a few trillion dollars at my disposal. Would you say I’m wealthy? Would you say I belong to the top tier of society?”
“By your logic, the law doesn’t apply to people like me. So if I kill you right now, what does it matter?”
Gordon’s face flushed red with anger as he bellowed, “Let me go immediately! How dare you treat me this way? I’ll take this to the highest levels of the Draconia government!”
Robin chuckled. “When I talk about the law, you resort to violence. When I use violence, you suddenly want to talk about the law? Do you think the good guys can’t beat the bad ones?”
“If you want to play double standards, I’ll settle this with brute force!”
“I’ll report you for this!” In his desperation, Gordon turned to Janelle, who had remained silent.
“You won’t get the chance,” Robin said, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his lips.
With that, he twisted Gordon’s neck with a sickening snap before letting go.
Bang!
Gordon’s corpulent body hit the marble floor with a resounding thud, like a dead weight.
The entire reception hall fell into stunned silence.
Gordon was dead?
That kid dared to kill Gordon–a man worth more than ten billion dollars–right in front of Brighton’s elite!

Janelle stared in horror at the gruesome scene before r, Gordon’s desperate, pleading glance before hist death had momentarily made her consider stepping in and ordering Robin to stop.
For a fleeting moment, she had assumed Robin was merely making a threat, thinking he wouldn’t have the nerve to go through with it. But she had been wrong
She never expected him to follow through so decisively without hesitation.
At this moment, the gravity of the situation hit her. Heg mind raced as she began to calculate her next move. If things continued to spiral out of control, she would have to use her resources to eliminate him.
Though today’s event was supposed to be a grand gathering for the Sharpes, the influential figures. attending were all here because of her.
Robin’s actions were å blatant disregard for her authority.
Raiden, recovering from his brief shock, barked out. “You’ve got some nerve! You just murdered someone at the Sharpes‘ event! Do you have no respect for the Sharpes at all?”
Though Raiden’s outburst was partly to bolster his courage, everyone in the room–including the elite attendees, Janelle, and Joc–could sense the chilling, murderous aura radiating from Robin. It was an oppressive force that struck straight to the heart.
A chilling sense of foreboding swept through the hall like a suffocating wave.
For someone to murder in front of Brighton’s most powerful elite, Robin was no ordinary threat.
As the situation escalated, it became apparent to everyone present that today’s events were far more complex than they had imagined.
Lara, however, seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation. Tugging at Joe’s sleeve, she whispered venomously. “Joe, do you see this? That guy’s way too arrogant!”
“What I mean is, don’t waste words on him. Just have Aunt Riva use the Sontags and Northville’s methods. to kill him!”
Riva Pittman was Janelle’s sister. This abrupt suggestion startled Joe, who turned to Robin with alarm.
For the first time, his previously unshakable arrogance wavered.
Robin wasn’t as easy to deal with as he had originally assumed.
Joe didn’t immediately respond to Lara. Instead, he measured his standing against Robin’s overwhelming presence. When he looked at Robin again, a wave of unprecedented fear gripped him–a cold, despairing sensation like staring death in the face.

Robin glanced disdainfully at the Sharpes‘ entourage and sneered, “You’re nothing to me. Just a group

“You bastard!” Raiden trembled with rage. Overwhelmed by his fury, he pointed at Robin and bellowed, “You kill someone at the Sharpes gathering, then insult us using the coffin and wreath like this? You’re asking for death!”

This was the first time in Raiden’s life that a no–name body had humiliated him so brazenly. He was livid, itching to grab a blade and take Robin down himself.
“You hit Lara earlier, and I haven’t even begun to settle hat score,” Raiden continued.
“Don’t your parents, your teachers, or society’s moral and legal principles teach you the basic values of respect and decency?”
“What you’ve done not only ruins you but destroys Lara’s happiness and future!
“And that video you played was meant to ruin someone’s life!”
“To cut off someone’s future is as cruel as killing their parents. You’re utterly inhuman!”
Wilder, now fully understanding the day’s events, stepped forward with a cold expression. “Raiden, don’t you feel ashamed saying that?”
“My master is standing up for Willow. That’s entirely justified!”
“Gordon deserved to die for helping evil people commit atrocious acts!”
“Willow might not have parents, but she was a living, breathing person!”
“And Lara–just to smooth out her rough skin–decided a child’s life was worth destroying? Lara doesn’t deserve to be called human!”
“She’s hideous herself, so she takes innocent lives to draw blood for her skin? How heartless does one have to be?”
“Lara deserves a thousand deaths!”
“Willow was only five. She never even had the chance to see the beauty of this world before Lara and that bastard of a health doctor drained her blood and killed her. How utterly heartless must one be to do something like that?”
“Just because a child is an orphan, does that make her less than human?”
“And does having money, thanks to the Sharpes‘ greed and exploitation, give Lara the right to take lives as she pleases?”
“You, Raiden, you useless old fool. You’ve lived this long for nothing!”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know about Lara’s blood–draining scheme for her skin treatments!”
“If my master decides to wipe out your entire clan today. I’ll stand by him without hesitation!”
At that moment, chaos erupted at the entrance of the hall.
Two guards in blue uniforms dragged Sterling and Bruce into the reception area, both of them bound. tightly with ropes.

A wave of fury swept through Raiden as he saw Sterling and Bruce being dragged into the grand reception hall, bound and humiliated.
His face turned an alarming shade of purple, his entire body trembling “Sterling, Bruce, you traitorous scum!” he bellowed.
“The Sharpes have been nothing but generous to you! We funded your Faulkner Clinic, and gave you building to make a living, and this is how you repay us You have no conscience! His voice quaked with rage. “You’re the one who prescribed the blood–extraction treatment for Lara, and now you dare to claim in that video that Lara was the one who harmed Willow”
“You’re despicable!” Raiden roared, “Now, I demand you publicly clarify that Lara is merely a victim of this so–called blood–extraction scandal, Otherwise, the Sharpes will make you regret it!”
Sterling collapsed to his knees, his sobs echoing in the tense silence. “Raiden, I never intended for things to go this far. When I first suggested blood extraction to Lara, I made it clear she should only draw safe amounts from Willow each time,” he pleaded, his voice trembling. “I even instructed that Willow be provided with ample nutrition to prevent any harm.”
“But Lara was desperate to present flawless, radiant skin at this event. She ignored every warning and went beyond the safe limits, frantically draining Willow’s blood. In these last few days, she went as far as extracting every last drop from her!”
“I tried to stop her,” Sterling cried, his voice breaking. But she had lost all reason. Yes, I’m guilty of introducing such inhumane treatment, but it was her obsession, her disregard for Willow’s life, that caused this tragedy!”
Lara’s eyes burned with malice as she glared at Sterling “Willow? That lowly creature? She should consider it an honor that I used her blood! She ought to be grateful!” Lara sneered venomously. “Otherwise, her worthless life would’ve never had any value!”
“You’ve gone and made this petty matter public, tarnishing my reputation in front of everyone!” she spat. “Sterling, you’ll pay dearly for betraying me!”
Unbeknownst to Lara, her venomous tirade was being live–streamed online by onlookers. Within moments, the internet exploded. Furious netizens swarmed social media, with some even threatening to storm the Sharpe Group and tear Lara apart for her cruelty.
Lara’s words didn’t just ignite public outrage; they left the gathered elites in stunned disbelief. Even among the ruthless upper echelons, such callousness was rare.
“You monster! Give Willow her life back!”
The piercing wail shattered the silence, drawing all eyes to the entrance of the hall. A weary, middle–aged woman stumbled inside, her anguished gaze fixed on Lara.
au evil demon!” she screamed, her voice raw with grief. “Give me back Willow’s life! I’ll kill you myself!“

“Korbin, stop him!” Lara screamed in panic, her voice thrill and desperate
Raiden stood frozen, overwhelmed by the scene unfolding before him. Where he once dismissed Robin and his group as inconsequential, he now realized that Robin was here for vengeance–and he wasn’t holding back.
Korbin Fulford, the Sharpes‘ chief steward, and a formidable martial artist, quickly stepped forward. placing himself between Ferell and Lara

Before Korbin could finish, Robin’s commanding voice cut through the air: “Kill him!”
The words had barely left Robin’s mouth when Ferell’s dagger flashed in the dim light, slashing Korbin’s throat in one swift motion.
The room fell deathly silent. A fountain of blood sprayed from Korbin’s neck as he stumbled back
Korbin, a seasoned fighter with decades of training, could hardly believe that this unassuming young man had ended his life before he even had the chance to strike. His massive body hit the floor with a heavy

Meanwhile, the Sharpes‘ security team began converging on the hall, their numbers growing by the second. The prominent figures who had gathered for the event, sensing the brewing storm discreetly retreated toward the edges of the room, unwilling to get caught in the crossfire
It was clear–Robin was ready to go head–to–head with the Sharpes, and no one else dared to intervene
“Mrs. Lorelai, Robin said, his tone resolute, “Sterling was the one who orchestrated Willow’s suffering him and his apprentice pay for her life first!”
Sterling didn’t even have time to plead for his life. Ferell swiftly snapped both his and Bruce’s necks with terrifying efficiency, tossing their lifeless bodies into a pair of waiting coffins.
With a loud crash, the coffins shattered under the impact, splintering into pieces.
The hall plunged into an even darker, more oppressive silence.
In less than 15 minutes, three lives had been claimed in Robin’s relentless pursuit of justice.
Now, Lara lay sprawled on the ground, reduced to nothing more than a sitting duck. Yet her venomo tongue hadn’t stilled.
“Let me go, you worthless scum!” she spat, her voice shrill and filled with rage. “So what if I took a bit of blood from that brat? She should’ve been grateful to have her blood used for me!”

The Sharpes bodyguards quickly converged.
In an instant, a fierce, murderous aura swept through the grand reception hall.
Lara roared, “Kill this trash now!”
Before her words even faded, Ferell drew his pistol and positioned himself in front of the bodyguards. “Anyone who dares to step forward will die!”
The group of bodyguards halted immediately, hesitating and not daring to move an inch further. They weren’t fools–charging forward meant certain death.
No matter how skilled someone was, no one could outrun a bullet.
The expansive hall fell silent once more.
Those present at the scene were no ordinary the specialized sidearm of a general’s guard.

The realization struck them like a thunderbolt. The people causing this chaos weren’t ordinary troublemakers. Robin’s presence might mean he was a high–ranking officer.
All eyes turned to Robin, the young man barely in his twenties.
Magnus frantic call to Police Headquarters earlier suddenly made sense.
Only someone with extraordinary status could reduce Magnus to such a pathetic, panic–stricken state.
Raiden was especially shocked.
A general?
Though Ferell hadn’t explicitly revealed Robin’s identity, his actions made one thing clear: offending a general was a death sentence.
As the head of a powerful and wealthy family, Raiden understood what this meant.
After a moment of contemplation, his gaze landed on Robin’s imposing figure standing in the middle of the hall.
Raiden knew that unless he made a substantial concession, there would be no way out of this disaster. today.
After hesitating for a long while, he finally ran up to Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, I’m Raiden, Lara’s grandfather.”
Things have escalated to this point. Let’s set aside right and wrong and discuss how to resolve this.” “Regardless of whether the Sharpes directly caused Willow’s tragedy, we will take full responsibility.” “We’re willing to offer Willow’s foster mother substantial compensation and ensure Willow’s ashes are buried with the utmost care.”

Raiden had already shown a significant willingness to compromise
Under normal circumstances, most people would accepe such terms.
Willow was already gone. Even killing Lara wouldn’t bring her back.
Lorelai, a lonely woman, still had to continue living. A new home and $10 million in cash could dramatically change her once–difficult life.
It was a sound offer..
In life, one couldn’t act purely out of spite, risking more harm than good.
Wise people knew when to cut their losses rather than escalate the damage
Continued mutual destruction served no purpose.
“I don’t agree!”
As everyone speculated that Lorelai would accept Raiden’s offer, she shouted with hatred. “Even if the Sharpes gave me everything they own, I still wouldn’t agree!”
Raiden was on the verge of exploding.
As the head of a family worth over $10 billion, he had never been threatened by someone be considered a nobody.
But given the current situation, he forced himself to suppress his fury.
“Lorelai, I’m decades older than you. Listen to me calmly.”
“People need to recognize the times and not be too stubborn.”
“Willow is gone, and nothing can bring her back. You still have a life to live…
“Enough!” Lorelai’s voice was filled with rage.
“My life has never been about comfort or indulgence. It’s about justice!”
“Willow was only five years old. What did she ever do to deserve this?”
“You drained her blood so cruelly, drained her to death!
“Now, the only reason I continue living is to seek vengeance!

Panicked, his eyes darted toward Janelle and Joe
In this hall, only Janelle and Joe might be able to save him.

The hall felt like a suffocating abyss, and everyone was horrified by the grisly scene unfolding before
them.
What had begun as a grand social gathering had turned into a blood–soaked battleground.
Raiden, a man worth billions, was now reduced to begging for his life.
Janelle stood frozen, torn about whether to intervene.
From the moment Ferell drew his gun, she had already begun to back down internally.
She could tell that Robin was no ordinary figure.
For him to make such a bold move here, his status had to be extraordinarily high.
As the niece of Lord Pittman and the daughter–in–law of the Sontags, she wasn’t about to entangle her family in the Sharpes‘ mess.
Especially not for Lara, who wasn’t worth the trouble.
If it weren’t for Joe’s stubborn obsession, she wouldn’t have bothered with the Sharpes at all.
“Joe, save me!” Lara pleaded desperately when she saw the Sontags inaction
Janelle was about to dissuade Jor from getting involved, fearing it would drag the Sontags down too.
But before she could speak, Joe had already rushed forward, trying to help his fiancée up.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t lift Lara from the ground.
“What did you do to Lara, you bastard?” Joe roared, pointing angrily at Robin.
“You’re calling me names?” Robin’s voice was ice–cold. You kneel too!”
Joe dropped to his knees with a loud thud, blood pooling beneath them.
The hall was deathly silent, broken only by Joe’s anguished cries of pain.

Robin’s audacity was unparalleled. With that one blow, he had made an undeniable statement, positioning Joe as his adversary,
Janelle, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines, could no longer stay silent. Accompanied by two bodyguards, she stormed toward Robin.
“You’re out of control!” she snapped,
“Oh? Am I?” Robin responded with a cold smirk. “It seems your worldview is far too limited.”
Janelle’s lips trembled with anger. Her voice cut through the air like ice. “From the moment you walked in. you’ve done nothing but slaughter and act like a tyrant
“I’ve held back, but you’ve crossed the line again and again. Do you even comprehend the consequences of slapping Joe across the face?”
She pointed an accusing finger. “Lara made one small mistake, and you unleashed carnage. You’re completely out of line! In the world of the elite, who behaves like this? Who dares to break the rules like

“Even Mr. Sharpe said Willow is dead and offered you immense compensation, yet you rejected it. Aren’t you taking things too far?”
Robin snorted disdainfully. “A small mistake? Do you call draining the blood of a five–year–old child until they die a small mistake? Looks like you need a lesson, too.”
Turning his gaze to his subordinate, he ordered coldly, “Ferell, slap her.”
Slap!
In a flash, Ferell appeared in front of Janelle and delivered a resounding slap to her face.
The room erupted in shock.
Janelle–Jayden’s niece–had been hit. And by Robin, no less.

From the moment she was born, she had been doted upon and protected. As Jayden’s niece, no one had ever dared to touch her, let alone slap her. Even her parents hadn’t had the heart to lay a finger on her.
But now, Robin had ordered his man to strike her.
The humiliation burned in her chest. If she couldn’t reclaim her dignity, she would never let this go.
As her fury reached its boiling point, her husband, Mitchell Sontag, burst into the hall with 40 of the Sontags‘ fierce bodyguards.
Mitchell’s expression turned stormy as his eyes took in the bloody and chaotic scene. He rushed to Janelle and Joe in a few quick strides,
“What happened to you? Who dared to hit you?”
Janelle pointed a trembling finger at Robin. “That bastard! Mitchell, he hit me! Order our men to kill him now!”
She seethed with rage. “I don’t care if this turns into the biggest scandal in history–Lord Pittman will back us up!”
“This man has already killed three people and dared to lay a hand on me. He must die!”
Joe, still wailing in pain, chimed in, “Dad, this is the greatest humiliation our family has ever endured. If we don’t kill him, the Sontags will have no place in Brighton anymore!”
The high–ranking guests exchanged uneasy glances. They all knew the formidable background of the Sontags second–generation leader.
Beyond the family’s connection to the Northville group, Mitchell Sontag had ties to an underground sect of immense power–a hidden force that wielded tremendous influence.
After establishing himself in Brighton’s legitimate industries, he solidified his position by marrying Jayden’s niece.
Despite his typically low–key demeanor, no one dared to underestimate Mitchell Sontag of the Sontags.
Mitchell helped Janelle to her feet, pulling a wet wipe from his pocket to clean the blood from her face. Even in this situation, the head of such a prominent family maintained a sense of dignity and composure… After smoothing Janelle’s disheveled hair and ensuring her face was clean, Mitchell patted her shoulder gently and offered a word of reassurance. “Rest for now. I’ll handle this.”
Turning slowly, he fixed his gaze on Robin. “You’ve caused chaos at the Sharpes‘ event, even assaulting my wife and son. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Robin, unfazed, retrieved his wet wipe and calmly cleaned his hands. His voice was indifferent. “I don’t explain myself. If the Sontags insist on meddling, I won’t hesitate to take you down alongside the Sharpes.” The gathered elites exchanged uneasy glances and shook their heads. Robin’s words were outrageous. While his military connections might give him the strength to challenge the Sharpes, taking on the

Somags was a different story altogether.
The Sontags ties to a hidden sect and their alliance with Jayden made them formidable.
Challenging both families was beyond reckless–it was borderline suicidal.
Mitchell, stunned for a moment, let out a cold laugh. “You’re utterly insane!”
“Are you willing to risk everything for a lowly woman and an orphan without parents?”
Mr. Sharpe already offered you $10 million. If that’s not enough, I’ll give you $100 million, $1 billion, $5 billion! But you’ll need to kneel and let me break your legs first!”
Robin’s expression didn’t waver. “Excellent. You’ve just olidified my resolve to destroy the Sontage with the Sharpes.” He casually tossed his wet wipe aside and took a step forward,

Lorelai hurried to block his path. “Sir, please, don’t…”
Robin interrupted her with a gentle smile. “Mrs. Lorelai, I promised to seek justice for you and Willow. Anyone who dares stand in my way today will be dealt with, no exceptions.”
Slap!
Before Mitchell could react, Robin struck him with a sudden, devastating slap, sending him flying across
the room.
The blow was so fierce that Mitchell lay on the ground gasping for breath, stunned. When he finally regained his voice, he roared at the Sontag guards. “Kill him! Now!”
40 of Sontag’s bodyguards unsheathed their blades and charged toward Robin.
But just as they began to move, a squad clad in Dragon Guard uniforms stormed into the banquet hall.
Leading the group was a military officer with the rank of Major General–Idris Hull of the Dragon Guard. Behind him were officers Jack, Flint, and Steven, all following in perfect formation.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall shifted. A heavy silence descended as everyone tried to decipher the Dragon Guard’s unexpected arrival at the Sharpes event
Could it be that Northville had summoned them?
But that seemed unlikely. The Dragon Guard answered only to Dragon Palace, and no one but Levi, the acting palace master, had the authority to command this elite force.
Mitchell struggled to his feet, his face darkening when he recognized the newcomers. “Captain Hull, your timing is impeccable,” he began.
“This maniac has already killed three people at the Sharpes’ event. He assaulted me, Janelle, Joe, and even Mr. Sharpe! If he isn’t executed on the spot, he’ll only bring further disaster!”
Idris’s expression remained unreadable. “Are you suggesting you have the right to tell Dragon Palace how to do its job?”
Mitchell froze, his mouth opening and closing uselessly, “Erm…”
Biris let out a sharp scoff. A fowly thug like you dares a insolently in my presence?”
Chapter 780 Bring that B*tch Lara Here!
Idris’s words left every high–ranking figure in the reception hall utterly shocked.
Everyone had assumed that Dragon Palace’s guards were here to support Janelle out of respect for the Sontag family and the Northville Residence
But that clearly wasn’t the case at:;
Even though the Sontag family was one of Brighton’s top five affluent families and shared marital ties with the Northville Residence, they were nothing more than country bumpkins in the eyes of Idris, the captain of Dragon Palace’s guards.
Janelle froze for a moment before snapping out of her bewildered state..
As Mitchell’s wife, she couldn’t ignore the public insult directed at him, which also extended to her.
Accustomed to being treated with pride and reverence, she found the humiliation unbearable.
Her expression turned grim as she pointed at Idris and shouted, “Who do you think you are? How dare a mere low–ranking officer from Dragon Palace insult the Sontag family? Do you even know who I am?
“Lord Pittman is my uncle, and Mitchell Sontag is my husband. Insulting my husband is an insult to Lord Pittman himself!
“Apologize to my husband immediately!”
“Apologize? He doesn’t deserve it,” Idris replied coldly, lifting his gaze with disdain.
“Step back immediately, no matter who you think you are! I am here under Dragon Palace’s highest orders to carry out official duties, and anyone who interferes will be seen as defying Dragon Palace!”
Janelle scoffed dismissively. The highest orders of Dragon Palace?”
“Does Dragon Palace have nothing better to do than meddle in others‘ affairs?”
“Are you seriously saying even these trivial issues fall under Dragon Palace’s jurisdiction?”
Idris let out a frosty laugh. “Mrs. Sontag, if you continue with this insolence and disregard Dragon Palace’s

“I am Lord Pittman’s niece! Dragon Palace guards have no right to lay a hand on me!” Janelle snapped, glaring daggers at Idris.
She then pointed at Robin. “This scoundrel has been committing murder and arson. On top of that, he attacked me, the Sontag family, and even Raiden and his granddaughter! Yet you barged in here without assessing the situation and had the audacity to insult the Sontag family!”
“If you refuse to apologize to the Sontag family, I will escalate this to the highest levels of Draconia’s government and file a formal complaint against Dragon Palace!”
Feel free to do so. Idris replied with a cold sneer. “But let me remind you–anyone who obstructs Dragon Palace guards executing their duties can be dealt with on the spot!”

At that moment, she saw Jack, Steven, and Flint approaching, so she immediately complained, “General Grayson, Mr. Lynch, here you are! This so–called major general and head of Dragon Palace’s guards just insulted the Sontag family!”
“General Grayson, I request that you punish this rude man right away!”
Jack narrowed his eyes. “Mrs. Sontag, you’re the one being rude! All of Dragon Palace’s soldiers follow Dragon Palace’s highest commands. You have no right to interfere with Dragon Palace officials performing their duties!”
Not even the Seven Kings have the right to challenge us! Let alone a woman with no noble title from the Sontag family!”
Furious, Janelle shouted, “General Grayson, are you covering for the Dragon Palace guards?”
Jack’s face hardened. “Mrs. Sontag, Dragon Palace’s guards are here to carry out official duties!”
“If you keep causing trouble, Captain Hull has the right to execute you on the spot! Even Lord Pittman won’t be able to save you!”
“Official duties? Who are you fooling?” Janelle snapped angrily. “I want to know whose orders you’re really carrying out!”
“The guards of Dragon Palace are carrying out the orders of the acting Palace Lord, General Levi Monroe. Are you suggesting that General Monroe should retract his order?”
Janelle was left speechless by his response.
Although Levi was only the acting Palace Lord of Dragon Palace, his status and position were on par with the Seven Kings.
She was not in a position to defy Levi’s orders.
Mitchell quickly assessed the unfolding situation.
As the astute and seasoned second–generation head of the Sontag family, he knew that if Janelle continued her confrontation with the Dragon Palace’s guards, the conflict could escalate with dire consequences.
Some matters were best handled discreetly, behind the scenes.
What puzzled him, however, was why such a prestigious force like the Dragon Palace’s guards had appeared here.

Who were they backing?
He gave Janelle a subtle tug and whispered, Janelle, stay calm. Let General Grayson and the Dragon Palace team carry out their duties. Once they’re finished, we can revisit today’s events and determine who was in the wrong.
Janelle grasped Mitchell’s intent but didn’t hide her deance. With a sharp glare, she sneered, “Idris, just you wait! How dare a lowly major general like your treatine with such disrespect? Ell be reporting this to Lord Pittman. Your team’s behavior is simply outrageous!”
Idris remained unfazed and responded coolly, “Suit yourself.”
With that, he turned to Robin and, with a respectful nod, said, “General Ramsey, please proceed.”
“Anyone who dares to stop you from seeking justice for Ms. Lorelai Leif will be executed on the spot by Dragon Palace’s guards!”
The moment those words were spoken, everyone immediately understood that Dragon Palace’s guards had come to back Robin.
This elite force was personally established by the Dragon Lord and wielded extraordinary powers granted by Draconia’s highest authorities.
While carrying out Dragon Palace’s orders, they had the authority to execute anyone below the rank of the Seven Great Royal Houses without prior approval.
They rarely revealed themselves to the world, but when they did, it always signaled a storm of bloodshed. Robin nodded and commanded, “Ferell, drag that b*tch Lara over here!
“Drain her blood today the same way she drained Willow’s over the past six months.”
Before anyone could fully process the command, Ferell stepped forward, seized Lara by her hair, and dragged her into the center of the hall.
A large basin, meant to hold Lara’s blood, had been set up in the center of the hall.
Lara was so frightened she almost passed out.
She couldn’t believe that taking blood from a poor child had escalated to this–her own blood being drained in return.
She shrieked in terror, “Grandpa, Joe, Mrs. Sontag, help me!
“I only took blood from that little bastard! I’ll pay! Why do they need to drain my blood… These people are devils!”
The entire room froze in shock.
No one had expected Robin’s revenge to be this savage
Raiden crawled forward on his hands and knees, howling, “You barbarians, release my granddaughter! I’ll take this to the authorities!”
