2025-02-25 15:02:48Hearing the crowd's words, Marcus’s ego swelled. A pleased smile stretched across his face as he puffed out his chest even more.
If there was ever a human equivalent of a peacock, Marcus was the perfect embodiment. Beside him, Sarah’s lips curled into a proud smile. She felt pleased with the man she had chosen. Marcus wasn’t just any man—he was someone so remarkable that others couldn’t help but sing his praises. How could that nobody, Robin, ever measure up? At the thought of Robin, her smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a scowl. She shot him a withering look and sneered, "Do you see that, Robin? This is what a real man looks like! A piece of trash like you could never be compared to Marcus. Don't think just because you somehow got your hands on that card and sneaked in here you're anywhere near his level." Robin's brows furrowed slightly. These two were kicked out, how did they get back in? But he shrugged indifferently. It didn't really matter. Marcus smirked, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Hmph! Could he ever? He belongs at the bottom while I continue to soar. Once I get the new chairman's signature, the deal will be sealed, and my status will only rise higher." Robin chuckled softly. It was a quiet sound, but in the silence of the room, it echoed loudly—enough for everyone to hear. Marcus's expression darkened instantly. “And what’s so funny, you brat?” he snapped, his voice laced with irritation. Robin merely shrugged, his face calm, almost Indifferent. “Nothing much,” he replied calmly. “It’s just… you might want to hold off on celebrating so soon because Eagle Industries won’t be signing the partnership deal with you.” A beat of silence. Then, laughter erupted. “What did you just say?” someone jeered between bursts of laughter. “Eagle Industries won’t be signing the partnership deal with him? Who do you think you are to make such a comment—the new chairman of Eagle Industries?” “He’s clearly gotten so poor that he’s resorted to living in his fantasies,” another sneered. “Perhaps, saying such things makes him feel like a man." “Hmph! Him, a man? A guy with no money, no status, and now pretending to make decisions for Eagle Industries? Even if he's a man, he’s nothing but a pathetic excuse for one. A complete pussy.” "Hahaha." The crowd roared with laughter. “Are you not ashamed, Robin?” Sarah’s voice cut through the noise, dripping with disdain. “Making such comments to make yourself feel like someone important. Does that feed your already shattered ego?” Robin didn't say anything. There was no point in doing so. She and the rest of the crowd would see the truth soon enough.”The chairman has arrived, and General Manager Katherine will be accompanying him!“ At this moment, a loud announcement rang out.
The crowd fell silent, heads snapping towards the source of the announcement.The name Katherine sent a shiver down the spines of those present. If the chairman of Eagle Industries was the untouchable peak of power, then Katherine was the shadow of his will—his second-in-command, the one who executed his decisions without hesitation.
A woman both revered and feared.
"Katherine is coming too?" someone muttered, their voice trembling slightly.
"The Iron Lady of Eagle Industries…"
"She’s just as terrifying as the chairman! Some say she’s even more ruthless when dealing with incompetence."
"I’ve heard that if she personally comes to oversee something, someone’s career is as good as over."
The murmurs of awe and apprehension spread like wildfire.
Then a middle-aged man who just made the announcement stepped in—his aura cold, commanding, and utterly unapproachable.
"It's the Chief Liaison, Liam!" someone immediately recognized him. The Chief Liaison. A high-ranking member of Eagle Industries. “Wait, didn't someone here make a comment that would make him seem like the chairman? So who's the person who just arrived? A con artist?" someone suddenly asked, his gaze swinging back to Robin. All eyes followed, settling on Robin with a mix of disgust and mockery. A cold gleam flashed in Marcus's eyes. This was the perfect chance to finally deal with that nobody! Without hesitation, he strode over to Liam. Normally, he would have never dared to approach a high-ranking member of Eagle Industries like that, especially one like Liam, but this was the same Liam who had sent someone to escort him and Sarah back into the headquarters—there was nothing to fear. "Liam," he said, his voice laced with false concern. "Someone here is pretending to be the new chairman. The chairman is someone we all can only look up to—how can a nobody be allowed to defame him? You should punish him!" "Yes!" "Exactly!" "He should be taught a lesson!" "Punish that pauper!" The crowd shouted, their voices dripping with righteous indignation. Liam’s gaze turned icy. “Who is he?” “Him!” Sarah quickly pointed at Robin, her lips curling into a satisfied smirk. Liam’s eyes landed on Robin, who remained unbothered, sitting calmly as if none of this concerned him. Something about Robin’s composure made Liam pause, but that was it. "Teach him a lesson,” the next second, he commanded coldly. “And throw him out.”Marcus and Sarah were gleeful hearing that. They quickly darted over to Robin.
A few security guards rushed forward as well, their expressions cold and ruthless. One of them reached for his baton—
Then hesitated.
With a chilling smirk, he pulled out a gun instead.
The cold, metallic click of the safety being switched off echoed through the tense room.
The air turned suffocating.
"On your knees, now," the guard ordered, aiming the gun straight at Robin’s chest.
Robin remained motionless. He didn’t even blink.
The crowd erupted into murmurs, some thrilled to see him suffer, others stepping back, wary of the sudden escalation.
Marcus sneered. "Let’s see how cocky you are now, you—"
Then, suddenly—
A tiny red dot appeared on the guard’s forehead.
Then another.
And another.
The guards stiffened, their fingers trembling on the triggers as they realized what was happening.
Sniper sights.
"Drop the weapons."
A voice, sharp and authoritative, cut through the chaos like a blade.
The doors swung open with a forceful bang, and a group of bodyguards in sleek black suits stormed in, their presence imposing.
Leading them was a woman—her tailored suit crisp, her cold gaze cutting through the room like a knife.
The moment everyone saw her, an almost instinctive fear gripped them.
The second-in-command of Eagle Industries. The right hand of the chairman.
"General Manager… Katherine!"

"General Manager, Katherine?" Liam's words hung in the air like a thunderclap. The air grew thick with tension, and the crowd's eyes widened in shock. The guards immediately lowered their weapons. They couldn't afford to provoke Katherine. "Does he mean General Manager Katherine, the General Manager of Eagle Industries?" someone gasped, his voice a mix of disbelief and awe. "Who else could he be talking about?" another snapped, shooting him a withering glare. Such a foolish question! The room instantly spiraled into a frenzy. Most people knew Katherine by name — the powerful General Manager of Eagle Industries — but few had ever seen her in person. So when she entered, many hadn’t recognized her. But now? The whispers swirled like a storm. "So that's her..." "I never thought I'd see her in person in my lifetime. Now, I can die in peace." "She's even more intimidating than I imagined." "So noisy." Katherine hissed. Instantly, as if someone had pressed a mute button, the room

"What?"Katherine's face turned frosty. She shot Sarah an icy glare. "You dare say it again?"She was on the verge of putting these fools in their place — of revealing that Robin was, in fact, the new chairman — but from the corner of her eye, she caught Robin subtly shaking his head. Her words froze in her throat. Understanding his unspoken request, she swallowed her anger.Marcus immediately grabbed Sarah's arm. "Apologize to General Manager Katherine!""Why should I?" Sarah snapped. "We did nothing wrong!""Sarah!" Marcus's face darkened. They were here to get the proposal approved — the last thing they needed was to provoke the general manager. If she said one word to the chairman, the partnership would be as good as dead. "Apologize now!""I'm not apologizing! For all we know, it might actually be the truth!"SMACK!Without warning, Marcus slapped Sarah across the face. "Why are you being so stubborn? Apologize to her!"Tears stung Sarah's cheeks as she clutched her burning face.

Several minutes later, the door to the CEO's office slowly creaked open, and a pale looking Liam stepped out. He looked completely defeated, his eyes red and puffy, his shoulders slumped. Even the once valiant spark in his gaze had faded, replaced by a hollow, lifeless stare. It was clear what had transpired in the CEO's office had deeply affected him. To put it plainly, it had shattered his worldview, leaving him completely unmoored. What he thought he knew, it turned out he knew nothing at all. The man he had scorned and dismissed as a mere pauper was, in fact, the new chairman and yet, he was so humble. Meanwhile, he, a mere Chief Liaison, had strutted around with his inflated ego, throwing his weightless weight around and acting as though he owned the whole world, even daring to insult the chairman and order for his legs to be broken and for him to be thrown out. Hah! How laughable. With his gaze fixed on the floor, Liam made his way back to the conference hall. Marc

His father’s roar was so loud that Marcus had to pull the phone away from his ear, afraid it might damage his eardrums. Staring down at the screen, his hand trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out along his back. He had never seen his father this furious before — not once in his entire life. In fact, it was the first time his father had ever shouted at him. But he understood his father’s anger. A lot had been invested to secure this deal. Tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He wasn’t foolish! Why would he provoke Liam when their family’s future depended on securing the deal? He had done no such thing. Everything was confusing. One minute, he and Liam were chatting happily, and the next, Liam was canceling the deal, cutting ties with him, and sending him out. What had he done wrong? He had no idea! “Dad,” he tried to explain, his voice cracking. But his father cut him off sharply. "I don't know what you've done. I don't care. But you better find a way to fix thing

"You bitch! Get back here!" the guards roared, chasing after Sarah. "General Manager Katherine! I need to talk to you!" Sarah shouted, picking up her pace. Standing in front of the podium, Katherine's brows knitted in irritation. What could this madwoman possibly want now? Not that it mattered anyway. She had no intention of acknowledging her. If not for Robin’s words back in the CEO's office—his firm command that she take no action against Sarah or Marcus–she would have killed this bitch already! Someone so ungrateful and ruthless didn't deserve to live! Meanwhile, the guards finally caught up with Sarah, grabbing her arms and forcefully pulling her back. "General Manager Katherine, please! I need to talk to you!" Sarah cried out desperately. Katherine kept her gaze elsewhere, acting as if she hadn’t heard a word. "Can't you see General Manager Katherine doesn't want anything to do with you? Move!" one of the guards snapped angrily, shoving Sarah even harder. "

Gritting her teeth, she spat angrily, “General Manager Katherine, how can you claim that I used that loser? Robin is worthless! By taking his bone marrow, I was doing him a favor! If it had stayed in his body, it would have been worth nothing just like the rest of him, but inside me, it’s worth millions. "By that logic, he actually owes me! So how can you say I took advantage of him? He should be thanking me every day for accepting his worthless bone marrow!” "Huh?" Katherine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stared at Sarah in shock. Was someone truly this twisted? "Guards, get this lunatic out of here immediately! Just listening to her is killing my brain cells," Katherine ordered coldly. “Yes, boss!” The guards rushed forward, grabbing Sarah and dragging her out of the conference hall. “You brat! I don’t know what spell you cast on General Manager Katherine, but this isn’t over! For humiliating me like this, I’ll make you pay! I’ll kill you!” as they dragged her

"Let her go." The voice was soft, yet it carried an icy edge so chilling that the air itself seemed to freeze. The gang of five turned to the source of the voice. Sheila also lifted her gaze. A lone figure stood before them, bathed in the moon’s glow. The silver light cast an ethereal aura around him, making him look almost otherworldly. This lone figure was naturally Robin. Though this had nothing to do with him, he couldn’t just walk away and let it happen. His conscience wouldn’t allow it. For a brief moment, the thugs were stunned. But then— "Hahahaha!" They burst into laughter, their eyes scanning Robin from head to toe. Sure, he was good-looking—handsome enough to make women swoon. But that was all. He carried no trace of a martial artist’s discipline, no bloodthirsty aura of an assassin. And judging by his simple attire, he was far too poor to be one of the Dunn family’s bodyguards. In their eyes, he was just another pauper playing the hero. Pathetic. The leader sc

"Here." After knocking the leader unconscious, Robin removed his coat and handed it to Sheila, deliberately keeping his eyes away. Her dress had ridden up to her waist, leaving her completely exposed below, and she was barely covered on top. The last thing he wanted was to be mistaken for a pervert. Sheila, still in shock, snapped back to reality at his words. Her face turned crimson as she glanced down, realizing just how much of her was exposed. Mortified, she yanked the coat from him, wrapped it around herself, and quickly pulled down her gown. "Found this. We wouldn't want the corpse keeping a souvenir of your... would we?" Just as she was done, Robin’s voice came again, and when she turned, he was holding something out to her, his expression oddly stiff. Sheila’s eyes widened in horror. It was her ripped underwear! Damnit! Her cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red. She snatched it from his hand and hid it behind her, too embarrassed to even look at him. Robin found

"Haha." Jace let out a mocking laugh, adding, "If you didn't go to college, then how exactly did you learn to be this so-called doctor? Or is it some kind of inborn talent?"He turned to Sheila with a sneer. "Is this really the person you claim saved you? This fool? It’s obvious you’re lying!"Sheila’s face turned red with rage. "Shut up!" she shouted. "You’re the foolish one! So what if he didn’t go to college? Is school the only place to learn medicine? "Aren't there physicians here who never stepped foot in a college or university yet are the best of the best?"Jace chuckled. "No need to insult me—your words don’t faze me." His lips curled into a smirk. "You speak of those physicians, but they were all trained by master physicians. In modern terms, it could be said they were homeschooled. Does your ‘savior’ have one? Should we confirm?" He shot Robin a mocking glance. "Punk, do you have a master? Don’t even think about lying!"All eyes turned to Robin. Even Sheila and her parents

Jace had always resented Sheila, believing that as they were the same age, he—being a man—should be the rightful heir, not her.Now, seeing a chance to humiliate her and prove she wasn’t fit to lead the family?He took it with open arms!Sheila’s smile vanished, her eyes darkening with fury. A sharp hostility radiated from her as she glared at Jace. "Watch your mouth!" she snapped. "You may be my cousin, but I won’t let you insult my savior!"Drake turned to Jace, his gaze cold with disapproval. Though looking at Robin, he also wondered if he was truly the one who saved Sheila, he trusted his darling daughter completely. She would never deceive the family. If she said Robin was the one, then that was the truth.His gaze shifted to his brother—Jace’s father. "Control your son!"The man, who bore a striking resemblance to Drake, merely shrugged. "Come now, brother, my son was only joking. Why are you getting so worked up?" he said nonchalantly. Then, turning to Jace, he added, "Stop st

“What?”The bodyguards and security guards froze in horror, their faces draining of color as if their very souls were being siphoned away.Fired? Just like that?They had served the Dunn family for years, dedicating their loyalty and skills. Never in their wildest dreams did they think Sheila would dismiss them over Robin, of all people. They had just ridiculed, mocked, and told him to get lost. Was it really worth being fired for? Didn't their service all these years mean anything to her?But, looking at her expression, the fury burning in her eyes, they realized she wasn't joking. Their legs gave out, and they dropped to their knees."Miss Dunn, please have mercy!""We were wrong! We sincerely apologize! Please don’t fire us!""Forgive us, please!"Their desperate voices filled the air as they pleaded at the top of their lungs. Being dismissed from the Dunn family wasn’t just about losing a job—it was losing status, security, and a future. If word spread that they had been fired
Chapter 24
The two bodyguards stiffened at Robin’s words, a flicker of unease crossing their faces. If Sheila found out they had turned him away, it could spell trouble—serious trouble. For a brief moment, doubt crept in. Was it worth the risk? But almost as quickly as it came, they shoved the hesitation aside. Today was an important day. Miss Dunn had bigger things to deal with. She wouldn’t waste her time questioning them about some nobody at the gate. Reassuring themselves with that thought, they steeled their expressions, their grips tightening into fists. Their gazes darkened as they glowered at Robin. “Get lost!” they barked in unison, their voices ringing through the air, as if the sheer force of their words could drive him away. Robin chuckled darkly. Since they wanted to play this game, he would see it through to the end. He’d like to see who got the last laugh. Shrugging, he said coolly, “I hope you don’t regret this.” “Hmph!” The bodyguards scoffed. "We never regret anything!
Chapter 23
The bodyguards were stunned to hear that someone was brazen enough to impersonate Miss Dunn’s savior. The Dunn family was part of the Tremendous Five—the wealthiest and most powerful families in the county. Who in their right mind would dig their own grave like this? Amused by the sheer audacity of the claim, they turned to get a look at the fool daring to pull such a stunt. But the moment their eyes landed on Robin, their expressions froze. Recognition struck them like lightning. Even though it had been dark last night, they had been among the closest to him. There was no mistake—he was the one. However, their shock quickly morphed into something else. Disdain flickered in their gazes, a cold gleam settling in their eyes. One of them curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Mr. Savior, didn’t you say last night that you wanted no reward? What brings you here today? Changed your mind? Did your so-called honor vanish overnight?” “Heh.” The other let out a scornful chuckl
Chapter 22
A dark cloud hovered over Robin’s eyes. He had half a mind to smack their arrogant heads together, but in the end, he let the urge pass. These snobbish nobodies weren’t worth his time. Taking a deep breath, he replied coolly, ”I may not have been invited by Sheila, but how do you know I’m not acquainted with her?“ “You—“ Before they could respond, he cut them off dismissively. “Go tell Sheila that the guy who saved her last night is here to see her!“ The guards stiffened in momentary shock. The incident last night had spread like wildfire within the Dunn household—every family member, even the maids, knew about the mysterious man who had saved Miss Dunn. Without him, she would have been violated and killed. She owed him her life. Could this guy be him? Their muscles tensed at the thought. If he was really the one and Miss Dunn found out they had been chastising and ridiculing him and even asked him to get lost, they’d be in deep trouble. But as they took another look at

Katherine's breath hitched, and her expression turned gloomy. Six months. An incurable disease. Was there really nothing that could be done?Robin, however, remained unfazed. Panic was useless. Despair solved nothing. What mattered now was finding a cure.Yet deep down, another thought gnawed at him.Why?Why would his father, a man who had always been in peak health, suddenly contract such an obscure and lethal disease? Thorneau Syndrome was so rare that only a handful of recorded cases existed in the past century, and none had appeared without a known cause.This wasn’t a natural affliction.Was this a mere coincidence… or was there something more sinister at play?Robin’s eyes darkened. If this was deliberate—if someone had done this to his father—they would pay. But for now, all he could do was wait. His father held the answers, but those answers would only come when he woke up.He closed his eyes for a moment, running through every possible treatment in his mind. No ordinary medi

The next morning, Robin was jolted awake by the incessant ringing of his phone. He groaned in displeasure. After saving that heiress last night, he had spent most of the night cultivating. Then, instead of resting, he had immersed himself in studying. The ring had unlocked so many things for him, and after cultivating, he had delved into holistic medicine amongst others. He didn't even know when he dozed off. RING! The phone started ringing again. Robin stretched out a hand, grabbing it from the nightstand. His eyes flicked to the time before checking the caller ID—6 a.m. Why was Katherine calling him this early? Did something happen? Frowning, he quickly swiped to answer. "Young Master, your father has fallen gravely ill—he's on the verge of death!" Katherine’s frantic voice rang through the phone. "He suddenly collapsed, and we’ve tried everything, but he won’t wake up!" Robin shot up, instantly awake. "What?" "Yes, Young Master. We called every doctor we could, but

Robin’s lips twitched slightly. The intruder had just been speaking to Sheila, and now weapons were pointed at him. How did things escalate so fast? Sheila was just as stunned. Her voice rang with authority. "Drop your weapons! He’s my savior! If not for him, those thugs would have raped and killed me! He took them down." She turned to Robin, her expression apologetic. "I’m so sorry. These are my family’s bodyguards. They didn’t know who you are." Robin shrugged indifferently. Meanwhile, the bodyguards exchanged glances, their gazes shifting to the corpses on the ground. They recognized the emblem on the thugs’ shirts. These thugs were members of the Abyssal Dominion. They served the Underground Kingpin—a force to be reckoned with. Even as elites, none of them could claim to take on all these thugs alone. Yet, this ordinary-looking guy, who was completely unknown to them, had somehow managed to kill them all? Still, if Miss Dunn said so, even though they feel she might have exa
