Hearing 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. "Lets see how cocky you are now, you"

Then, suddenly

A tiny red dot appeared on the guards forehead.

Then another.

And another.

The guards stiffened, their fingers trembling on the triggers as they realized what was happening.

Sniper sights.

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 womanher tailored suit crisp, her cold gaze cutting through the room like a knife.

The room turned to ice.

The second-in-command of Eagle Industries. The right hand of the chairman.

"General ManagerKatherine!" 

 Every person stood rigid, afraid to even breathe.

Even Liams expression shifted, his arrogance crumbling under the weight of her presence.

Katherine’s eyes—cold enough to freeze blood—locked onto the guards still aiming at Robin.

You dare point a gun— against Mr. Robin?

    “Mr. Robin…?”Katherine’s voice still echoed in the hall, sharp and undeniable.But that one title — Mr. Robin — was like a thunderclap detonating in the hearts of everyone present.The entire room fell into stunned silence.Dozens of eyes snapped to Robin, who was still calmly seated. Not a flicker of surprise or emotion on his face.And then they turned back to Katherine. As if trying to figure out what trick their ears had just played on them.“D-Did she just… call him Mr. Robin?” someone finally muttered, his voice hoarse with disbelief.“No way.

    "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

    Glancing down and catching sight of her nearly exposed underwear, Katherine’s face burned with humiliation. "You bitch, you are so unhinged!" she snarled through gritted teeth, seething with anger."Haha! And what if I am?" Eryndor cackled darkly. "First, my sons and daughters will strip you bare, letting me admire that fair, beautiful ass of yours—then they’ll feast on you until not even a trace remains!"Katherine's whole body trembled. "Keep dreaming, you uncultured thing!" she snapped, continually channeling her energy.But no matter how much strength she poured into it, it was useless. She couldn't get rid of the insects. Instead, their actions turned ferocious. In a blink, she was down to her bra. With the speed the insects were feasting, she would be unclad soon!

And now, they were after his life!After leaving the Dunns' villa, he took a quiet ride back to Mount Rushmore.Inside the room, Katherine sat beside Mr. Ramsey Sr., gently holding his hands. Her red, puffy eyes and the trail of dried tears across her cheeks were enough to show how much she’d been crying.Just then, the door creaked open and Robin stepped in.Katherine’s head whipped toward the door, and when she saw him, her eyes lit up like the midnight stars. “Young Master!” she jumped up and rushed over. Her gaze raked all over him, as if searching for something. "Did... did you get it?"Robin felt a mixture of warmth and sorrow swell in his chest at the sight of her concern. She’d clearly been through a lot.“I did,” he said gently, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out the herb a

    As he bolted out of the private room, Roman swiftly made a phone call. By the time he reached the roadside, a blacked-out off-road sports car with no license plate was already waiting for him. He didn’t wait for the chauffeur to open the door—he yanked it open himself and jumped in."Take me to Eryndor Vex! Now!" he ordered sharply.The chauffeur gave a curt nod. "Yes, sire." He slammed the gas pedal, and the engine growled as the car sped off.On the outskirts of the county, tucked away from the eyes of even the most watchful officials, sat Eryndor Vex’s hidden lair.On the surface, it looked like a ruined homestead—just a tilted antenna poking out of the earth. Only up close could one spot the small, unassuming door nestled in the dirt.Roman’s chauffeur brought the vehicle to a smooth stop just before the antenna.Without even waiting for him to turn off the car, Roman jumped out and strode to the door. He knocked once. Then twice. Then a third time. Finally, he pushed the door ope

    Inside a luxurious private suite within one of the county's most elite five-star restaurants, two figures sat across each other. One of them was a young man, around Robin’s age, radiating an unmistakable air of nobility. Just a single glance at him was enough to tell he came from a powerful family. That was Roman Hutton—the heir to the Hutton family, one of the Tremendous Five. Seated across from him was a middle-aged man whose presence felt like a sharp blade drawn in silence. His aura was suffocating, violent, commanding, and unmistakably dangerous. This was none other than Shawn, the infamous Underground Kingpin! The atmosphere in the room was heavy, laced with tension as the two men continued their intense discussion. "What did you just say? The mission failed?" Roman gasped in shock, his eyes widening with disbelief. He stared at the furious man before him, then suddenly laughed aloud. "Mr. Morningstar, you nearly had me there. I almost thought you were serious. Hahaha."

    The physicians froze, exchanging uncertain glances. Their eyes flicked between Robin, Sheila, and finally, Drake—who remained silent. His lack of protest only confirmed his agreement with his daughter. Their expressions darkened with defeat. Shoulders slumped and pride shattered, they trudged away from Robin. If only they had known how this would play out—if only they’d realized he was a true medical genius—they never would’ve scorned him. But now? It was far too late for regrets. "Cough." At that moment, Mr. Dunn Sr. suddenly coughed. At a speed visible to the naked eyes, his complexion brightened, his breathing evened out, and the weariness on his face faded like mist under sunlight. And then, slowly… he opened his eyes. He was awake! It worked! The Dunns stared in stunned silence, and then—elation. Their eyes turned to Robin, wide with admiration and disbelief. He was the true Medical Sage! "Grandpa!" "Father!" Sheila and Drake rushed to Mr. Dunn Sr.'s side. Shei

    A heavy silence blanketed the room, thick and unmoving. Even the air felt frozen in time. The Medical Sage—one of the most respected and celebrated figures in all of Draconia—was kneeling before a young man, begging to become his disciple. It was almost laughable. Had the world suddenly gone mad? Marcus, still holding his stinging cheek, gaped in disbelief. This was the legendary Medical Sage! A man who had made his mark in the medical world. How could someone like him grovel at the feet of a nobody like Robin and beg him to take him as his disciple? How could Robin compare to him? That punk didn’t even deserve to be in the same room with him! Was the old man insane? Delirious? Sebastian and Jace were equally stunned, their expressions twisted as they tried to make sense of what they were witnessing. The only person who looked even remotely pleased was Sheila, standing calmly behind Robin. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Shocked as she was, she couldn’

    The noise was strange, like something squirming—or fighting—inside him. Sweat began pouring from his body. Not drops—streams. The beads were thick and fast, like he was drenched in minutes.The rumbling continued, rising and falling. It lasted for nearly two minutes.Then—Silence.Complete and total.Robin stopped whistling and calmly wiped the light sheen of sweat from his brow. The mother worm had been unusually tenacious—likely due to the strength of the sorcerer who had planted it. But no matter how powerful, it had faced against Robin, so it was bound to be defeated.And dead it was, scattered into tiny fragments that Mr. Dunn Sr. would expel naturally in the coming days.With a simple wave, the golden needles zipped out of the old man’s body and returned swiftly to Robin’s hand. He placed them carefully back into their case before facing Drake. "Your father’s fine now,” he said coolly. “But I’ll return in three days for a follow-up.”He paused, letting the air settle before

    "What?" Everyone froze, horror etched across their faces. Worms? Again? How could there still be so many inside Mr. Dunn Sr.? Was he even human anymore? The sheer sight was terrifying and confusing all at once. Then— "Ugh!" "Blehh!" Just like before, several people couldn’t hold back. They turned to the sides, vomiting on the marble floors. Instantly, the room was consumed by an unbearable stench. There was already the stench of urine, blood, and the earlier vomit—and now, this. Not to mention the oozing corpse in the corner. All of it mixed into one suffocating, nauseating cloud that made breathing nearly impossible. Even with the curtains drawn open and fresh air rushing in from outside, it did nothing to help. If anything, the breeze only spread the foul odor more efficiently, carrying it into every corner of the room. "Get rid of that corpse!" Drake ordered. “Yes, My Lord,” the guard replied. He strode over to Hannibal's decapitated corpse and slung it effortlessl

    Marcus held his aching cheek, stunned and baffled as he watched Sheila disappear through the doors. His mind reeled. What was it about Robin? He was nothing more than a nobody, a complete loser, why did these influential women think otherwise?! Why did they see him so differently? He couldn't understand it! What charm was Robin using to deceive them? First it was Katherine, and now Sheila! Two powerful women! A bitter glint flickered in his eyes—he couldn’t stand it. That envy ate at him like acid. Right beside him, Sebastian looked even worse. His whole face was flushed with rage, and his eyes gleamed with an unmistakable killing intent. Robin couldn't be let to continue to live! Once this was over, he would make sure he was erased for good! Outside, Sheila didn’t need to search far. Just as she stepped beyond the courtyard, her eyes landed on a familiar figure leaning against a tree—Robin. He hadn’t left.Even though the herb had already been used and he had every reaso
