In the Velmont Arch Exhibition Hall 17, a heavy stillness filled the air.
The onlookers from around the world fell into a deep hush.
Kaiya's statement held truth. Within Centraline, the Athroods stood as the unshakable ruler.
Even the power brokers of Centraline had to respect their status.
Yet, few had yet to realize that the person standing across from Sylvan, Kaiya, and Renata wasn't just an ordinary person.
He is Divine Drakebane, wielding a super weapon launch system!
No small family like the Athroods could hold a candle to that. Even the highest-ranking nobles from Ugonland's 12 nations would be forced to show respect.
These top figures, perched at the top of the world, always preach about justice for the people.
Should they dare to ally with darkness, Robin's super weapon targeting system would lock onto them, erasing them in seconds.
When Kaiya's words reached Shirley's ears, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Earlier, I might have felt a flicker of pity for the damage Robin was about to bring you. But now, that's gone.
"I will always believe that the man I love is right!
"For you, filthy and despicable trash, only destruction can honor this beautiful city!"
A wild laugh erupted from Kaiya as she threw her head back.
"Destruction? Who does he think he can destroy? Do you think your fiancé is Divine Drakebane?
"Even if Divine Drakebane himself were here, he'd still be forced to bow!"
Shirley let out a mocking laugh. "Well then, just wait and watch!"
Robin gently tousled Shirley's hair and muttered, "Speaking to these animals is an insult to language itself!
"To handle this filth, only force will make them understand that fear still exists in this world!"
Before anyone had time to react, Robin yanked Kaiya's hair and forced her to her knees.
With a sickening crack, her knees shattered instantly.
A chilling scream echoed through the hall, "How dare you strike me, you monster!"
Slap! A resounding slap rang across Kaiya's face.
"Before you meet your end, I'll ensure the world knows the price you and your family will pay for crossing me!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the four bodyguards from the Zedillos charged toward Robin.
Robin released his grip on Kaiya's hair, pointing at Bryce and the others. "Eliminate them!"
Four bursts of gunfire erupted in unison, and all four Zedillos' bodyguards collapsed to the ground in front of Kaiya.
Their lifeless eyes stared at her, unblinking.
"Ah! You're all monsters!" Kaiya screamed in fury.
At that very moment, the large screen flashed with a chaotic scene from the Zedillo Group.
Kaiya's father, uncle, grandfather, and the senior executives of the family were frantic, shouting in desperation.
"Who dares to attack our family?!"
The live feed from the Velmont Arch Exhibition Hall was directly connected to the Zedillo headquarters, and Kaiya's voice trembled as she pleaded, "Dad, please save me from this monster ... "
The voice prompt echoed, "You have provoked Divine Drakebane. This is the fate of the Zedillo Group!"
A wave of terror swept through the exhibition hall in an instant.
No one had anticipated that the man standing at the center of the hall was the infamous and feared Divine Drakebane!
The guests and nobles instinctively took several steps back.
Kaiya, realizing her mistake, immediately fell silent.
She gazed up in horror at Robin, a figure as terrifying as a devil under the shadow of the lights.
She could never have imagined that Shirley's beloved man would be the fearsome and legendary Divine Drakebane.
In a flash, the display screens in the exhibition hall flickered and went black.
