Chapter 1264 Touch the People I Care About, and There's Only One Place You'll End Up With a swift motion, Robin sent Hadley, the head of the Decision Bureau, sprawling backward, effectively silencing the room.
Jethro and the others knew all too well the significance of Hadley's position.
While he wasn't born into royalty, his influence ran deep.
For years, he had climbed the ranks of the powerful elite, securing his place in the highest circles of authority. These individuals were the true rulers, the ones who shaped the lives of the masses.
They represented the long-standing traditions of Draconia's bureaucratic system, and were its most respected and powerful members.
Given their dominance, no one dared to challenge their authority.
Yet now, Robin's strike had left Hadley dazed and completely stunned.
His bodyguards were slow to respond, only snapping into action after a momentary hesitation. Once they regained their senses, they drew their weapons, aiming them directly at Robin.
Robin grinned, tossing a used wet wipe over his shoulder nonchalantly. "You're always so quick to draw your guns when it's your own people. But when an outsider dares to challenge you, why do you hesitate so much? "Go ahead, shoot me! If you can't even summon the courage to kill me, that gun is nothing but a useless piece of metal!" The sharp sound of a slap filled the air.
Misael stepped forward, swatting two of the armed guards aside with a single gesture before turning to face the others, still holding their guns.
"Hadley, are you really going to let your guards point weapons at Master Ramsey?" A chill ran down Hadley's spine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe finally realized that the Golden Dragon Guard, who had been quietly shadowing Robin, were now prepared for a lethal response.
The realization hit him-Robin, though not officially recognized, was a man unlike any other.
Misael's warning was unmistakable.
If Hadley's guards didn't lower their weapons, the Golden Dragon Guard would take immediate action.
"You idiots! Lower your guns now!" Hadley shouted, his face drained of color, as he threw himself in front of his guards to protect them.
Chapter 1264 Touch the People I Care About, and There's Only One Place You'll End Up 47% Finished Misael scoffed, his eyes unyielding. "Mr. Herrera, I suggest there are no more 'misunderstandings. If there are, you won't live long enough to hear another warning." "I understand!" Hadley wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed toward his car.
"Cback!" Robin's voice rang out, and Hadley froze, his legs shaking as terror gripped him.
This was the first tin his life that he felt such raw, paralyzing fear.
Robin moved slowly, every step deliberate, until he was standing directly in front of Hadley. With a sharp motion, he slapped him across the face. "If it weren't for you, Zayn would never have taken Lord Westeria's seat! "Snivy would never have been able to make his reckless move.
"My fiancée, Shirley, wouldn't have been subjected to such humiliation and pain! "Catherine would never have been scarred by fire! "Ms. Clayton wouldn't be dead!" "Mr. Herrera, are you familiar with my principle?" Hadley's forehead was slick with sweat as his mind raced, regret flooding him.
He realized just how deeply he had miscalculated by crossing this terrifying man. Another loud smack echoed through the air as Robin slapped him again. "Touch the people I care about, and there's only one place you'll end up in-hell! "However, this time, I won't personally deal with scum like you." Robin glanced at his wristwatch, his expression growing colder. "By now, the higher-ups have received my letter. Your actions-corruption, collusion with the Dark Syndicate-should have you facing execution under Draconian law.
"But your colleagues don't want you to stand trial, especially not with the risk of their own involvement being exposed.
"I'd venture a guess-your most likely end, a car accident, a sudden death, or maybe a fall from a building... Heh, you probably know better than I do.
"Safe travels, Mr. Herrera." Robin's expression hardened as he slapped Hadley to the floor, the impact reverberating through the room. Suddenly, the screech of brakes sounded from outside.
The Golden Dragon Guard swiftly blocked Amber, who had just stepped out of a Porsche.
"Mr. Ramsey!" Amber's tear-streaked face appeared before him. "Half an hour ago, Mr. Dunn Sr. passed away." 214 Sal, 20 API Chapter 1264 Touch the People I Care About, and There's Only One Place You'll End Up "What about Shirley?" he asked, his voice tight with anxiety.
The Golden Dragon Guard parted to allow Amber to approach.
4/% Finished "Ms. Dunn has already gone home,” Amber said, her voice trembling with emotion. "She didn't want you to see her, looking so broken with grief. That's why she stopped Andrew from coming." "I-I made the decision to con my own," Amber continued, tears streaming down her face. "After the Dunns were scaled off, Mr. Dunn Sr. passed away... the Dunn family is now..." "I understand," Robin said, his heart aching as he processed her words.
"Let's go," he said softly, his voice heavy with sorrow.
"Misael, fill the Mount Geneva villa with wreaths!" "Understood!" Misael immediately gave the orders.
The Mount Geneva villa, blanketed in snow, was desolate in the dead of winter.
Outside the Dunn villa, only the thick silver snow and the biting wind disturbed the otherwise silent, somber scene.
Drake's mourning hall had been set up in the villa's main hall.
Robin and Jethro entered the hall, where they were greeted by the bowing figures of Timothy and Andrew. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Robin approached the mourning hall.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore Drake's body, Robin bowed his head in respect.
His gaze fell upon Shirley, kneeling before the hall, her white hair and simple clothing drenched with tears, utterly devastated.
A tight knot formed in Robin's chest as he fought back his own grief, feeling the weight of sorrow pressing on him.
A month after the events at Landorne, everything had changed.
Once the wealthiest and most powerful family in Harmonfield, the Dunns were now shattered, their legacy cold and empty.
The world seemed thin and distant, and no one could have predicted that those who once soared so high would now fall so far.
Human relationships, cold and fleeting, only truly made sense after one had endured suffering, sickness, or despair.
Looking at Shirley's fragile, heartbroken form, Robin's heart broke for her. He stepped forward to her side. "Shirley, you silly girl. How could you even think of leaving me? Chapter 1264 Touch the People I Care About, and There's Only One Place You'll End Up
Unable to contain herself any longer, Shirley's tears flowed freely. "Robin, why are you so good to me? After everything that's happened, how could I ever deserve all that you've done for me?" Robin gently stroked her hair, his voice tender. "Silly girl, your grandpa is watching over us."
After a long silence, Shirley finally managed to steady her breathing, her voice quivering. "But Grandpa won't be able to see our future together...
Robin took a deep breath, swallowing his emotions. "He loved you most of all. He'll definitely see it." Just then, hurried footsteps approached from outside.
A group of the wealthiest businessmen from Harmonfield and key figures from various government departments arrived to pay their respects to Drake. Rygar and Shawn followed closely behind.
Robin shared a few more words of comfort with Shirley before stepping away from the mourning hall.
Rygar and Shawn immediately dropped to their knees in front of him. "Mr. Ramsey ..." Robin's voice was icy as he snapped, "You trash of Abyssal Dominion. You think you can get close to me? Get out!"
