The exhibition hall was filled with a sudden, stunned silence.
"The legendary Divine Drakebane is truly a man who always takes revenge!"
"A ruthless person never pulls back when it comes to business. That's the only way his opponents and enemies will fear him."
"Being a god means being untouchable."
"It seems Nine Stars is in serious trouble."
"Nine Stars Group isn't easily taken down. Behind them stands the government and the legendary Grandmaster Dubh."
Maurice, overhearing the discussions, was frantic with worry.
After some hesitation, he pushed through the crowd and hurried over to Robin. He pleaded, "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey, please show mercy and release Ms. Shania. W-we ... the Coyles."
Maurice faltered, unsure how to continue.
He was just the butler; he couldn't make promises to Robin on his own.
The final decision rested with Kendrick, Neasan, and the others.
Even if he wanted to negotiate with Robin to have him release Shania, he had no authority to make any promises.
Maurice bowed to Robin and begged, "Mr. Ramsey, please spare Ms. Shania; don't kill her. Give us a moment to discuss. We will give you a satisfactory answer."
With that, Maurice bowed deeply, his words trailing off in the air.
Conall hesitated for a long time before stepping forward, saluting Robin with military precision. "Please give Maurice one more day. Do not kill Ms. Shania yet. If you have any questions ... "
Robin ignored both Maurice and Conall. With a swift movement, he struck his waist.
A golden flash appeared, and the dragon dagger shot out of its sheath.
The dagger soared high into the air, hovering above Neasan's head for two seconds before returning to Robin's grasp.
Amid the astonished gazes, Robin let out a cold laugh.
He pointed the dagger at Neasan, who was still stunned from the events. "I won't kill you for now, Neasan. After I deal with Dubh, I'll deal with you.
"Tell that old fool—20 years ago, he committed a crime at Dragon Manor. It's time to settle the score!"
Neasan stood frozen, drenched in sweat, his body trembling as he watched Robin's retreated figure.
This was the first time in his life he had faced death so closely.
The sheer powerlessness and despair felt like falling into a bottomless abyss, sending chills through every fiber of his being.
Robin yanked Shania from the exhibition hall and tossed her toward a nearby Toyota SUV.
Rita had just opened the door when Shania was slammed into the vehicle.
It took Shania a moment to recover. "Y-you're so rough! Do you know what you're doing?"
Robin shoved a tissue into her mouth.
"A woman with no manners like you actually expecting me to be gentle?
"If your father could see you now, he'd be disappointed!
"Truly, the privileged never know the pain of the oppressed!"
With those harsh words, Robin leaned back against the side of the SUV and closed his eyes, resting.
Shania was stunned as she looked at the man beside her, feeling the powerful aura around him. Her mind was in disarray.
How could this b*stard treat me so rudely?
It was then that she truly noticed how captivating his features were.
Her thoughts spiraled, confused.
